68: The thousand-year-old man! The waterfall in the pond!

“Hiss…”

“The Host and Miss Zhang Meng’s analysis is very accurate. It’s really possible that someone deliberately modified the diary’s contents to lead the Host and his companions here to kill them!”

“But they didn’t expect…”

“The Host actually counter-killed those snakes instead!”

“So the question is…”

“Why kill the Host here? Why not kill the three of them in the village? Isn’t this redundant?”

“…”

“The person upstairs is a bit silly!”

“The Host already said that bullets can’t penetrate the scales of this python. Can a normal person survive an attack from this snake?”

“That person definitely couldn’t defeat the Host!”

“Using snakes is safer!”

“Aww, aww…”

“Thanks for the explanation upstairs!”

“Right!”

“So who is the mastermind behind modifying the diary? When did he modify the diary’s contents? This is too stealthy, isn’t it?”

“I guess it’s the driver!”

“Only he observed the Host’s strength when the Host killed the Shopkeeper, and he also happened to be in the kitchen at that time. Moreover…”

“When the three of them returned, the driver had already disappeared.”

“It’s probably that driver!”

“Truth-teller, I salute you!”

…“However…”

“Who is that person?”

Zhang Meng bit her fingernails again, a habitual action when she was thinking.

“…”

“That driver!”

Suddenly!

Zhang Meng’s eyes lit up, and she whispered to Wu Tian!

“Damn it!”

“That bastard!”

Zhang Meng’s face was flushed.

“Only this person had the opportunity throughout!”

“He was hiding in the kitchen, he didn’t die, and he disappeared when we returned!”

“Damn it!”

Zhang Meng’s face was filled with ferocity.

“It’s that bastard!”

“If I had known, I would have let you kick him to death. Then we wouldn’t have been plotted against in the dark. This feeling of being watched is really unpleasant!”

“Hehe…”

Wu Tian gently patted Zhang Meng’s shoulder.

He smiled faintly.

“What are you panicking for?”

“Since he wants to use the snakes here to kill us, it means his own strength is very weak!”

“What good is a very weak enemy in the dark?”

“Let him try all sorts of fancy tricks…”

Wu Tian raised the sword in his hand.

He coldly and domineeringly declared,

“I will cut him down with a single sword!”

“…”

“That’s true!”

Slightly stunned, Zhang Meng looked at the giant python’s head on the ground, which was completely dead and had its flesh and blood absorbed, and said fiercely, feeling relieved.

“Don’t let us catch him!”

“Otherwise, we’ll smash his head into his stomach!”

Wu Tian: “…”

“Let’s go!”

Wu Tian carried the rubber dinghy from not far away and placed it into the deep pool. He got in first and waved to the fatty and Zhang Meng on the shore.

“Since there’s no danger in this pool, let’s hurry up and set off!”

“With that driver targeting us from the shadows…”

“The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us!”

“As long as we enter the Peach Blossom Garden…”

Wu Tian’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

“Then we’ll have a chance to face him directly. At that time, we will completely gain the initiative!”

“I will kill him!”

“Damn him!”

Zhang Meng and the fatty nodded.

They stepped onto the rubber dinghy from the shore.

Zhang Meng and the fatty on one side, Wu Tian on the other… The three of them rowed, slowly moving through the dark pool!

…“Bang!”

By the time the rubber dinghy carrying Wu Tian and the others disappeared into the darkness of the deep pool, a figure in a black robe slowly appeared at the top of the cliff by the pool.

“Damn it!”

The figure slammed a fist on the ground.

“What kind of monster are you?”

“Even the Black Flood Dragon couldn’t kill you?”

“Could it be that Chunyu Yue, after lurking for a millennium and absorbing energy for a thousand years, still cannot defeat you?!”

He muttered to himself.

His chest heaved violently.

Unfairness, unwillingness, impatience, jealousy, and other negative emotions erupted in his mind, pushing him to the brink of collapse in an instant!

“Ah…”

After a long while!

The man let out a low growl, and his emotions slowly calmed down.

“Hoo, hoo…”

After taking a breath, the man’s voice became indifferent again.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“You may be powerful outside, but once you enter, it will be my home ground!”

“You all…”

“Just obediently become my nourishment and help me complete the final step!”

“Hahahahaha!”

“…”

A night breeze blew, lifting his black robe and revealing his true face!

Under the faint moonlight, this person… was precisely that driver!

…“Splash…”

“Splash…”

The sound of the paddles hitting the water echoed rhythmically in the quiet deep pool.

“Huh?”

Suddenly!

“Boss…”

The fatty wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and pointed in one direction, saying to Wu Tian,

“I see a light over there. Is there a waterway over there that we can turn into?”

“Hmm?”

“Let me see!”

Following the direction of the fatty’s finger, Wu Tian squinted his eyes and looked over.

“…”

Soon after.

“Yes!”

Wu Tian nodded.

“I see it. The water surface there is reflecting light, and there’s a faint sound of flowing water.”

“Let’s go!”

Wu Tian changed the angle of his paddle and turned the rubber dinghy around.

“Let’s go check it out!”

“…”

Zhang Meng and the fatty also quickly paddled in the direction Wu Tian was rowing. With their combined effort, the rubber dinghy made a nimble turn and slowly headed towards the waterway in the dark depths.

As they got closer and closer to the waterway,

The sound of flowing water became increasingly clear.

Finally, when they were less than a hundred meters from the waterway, under the moonlight… Wu Tian and the others finally saw what the distant waterway actually was!

“…”

“Holy crap!”

The fatty’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“What is that?”

“That’s not a waterfall, is it?”

“…”

“It is a waterfall…”

Zhang Meng’s voice was already trembling slightly.

“We…”

“We need to stop quickly!”

“It’s too late…”

Wu Tian’s calm voice came from beside them.

“Didn’t you notice that from just now, the effort we expended while paddling has been getting smaller and smaller?”

“What does this mean?”

Wu Tian asked in a deep voice.

“Does this mean the current has already carried us towards the edge of the waterfall, and it’s irreversible?”

Zhang Meng stammered, answering.

“No!”

“It’s not irreversible, we still have a chance!”

Wu Tian shook his head, looking at the cliff about twenty meters away.

“As long as we paddle with all our might towards the cliff before falling into the waterfall, we might still have a chance!”

“…”

Zhang Meng was startled, then nodded happily!

“That’s right!”

“We are still about a hundred meters from the waterfall, and the cliff is only 20 meters away. As long as we try our best.”

“There’s a chance!”

“There must be a chance!”

“Good!”

Wu Tian nodded.

He solemnly instructed the two behind him,

“I’ll steer, let’s paddle together with all our might…”

【Although there is a waterfall in the distance, danger often comes with rare opportunities. Are you sure you want to lose this chance to get closer to the Peach Blossom Garden by avoiding danger?】

【Take a gamble, a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle!】

【Go for it, young man!】
