75: Black flowers and black water! The person who is being ferryed!

“…”

The fatty was startled, then immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know!”

“Boss!”

“Can we not talk about this anymore?”

“Change the topic!”

… Just as the fatty was constantly begging Wu Tian for mercy, Zhang Meng, who had some research on tombs, suddenly had her eyes light up.

She looked at Wu Tian and said in a low voice.

“I know!”

“Because these people hid here to escape the wars of the Qin Dynasty, and during the Warring States period…”

“Wuling, located in northern Hunan, happened to be the territory of the Chu State!”

“Chu land…”

“Hehe!”

Zhang Meng smiled slightly.

“The people of Chu, located in a barbarian land, didn’t care about etiquette. Compared to the double tomb passages of other great nations, the Chu people directly built single tomb passages.”

“This is very Chu!”

“Moreover, this also matches how the Fisherman entered and exited!”

“Inside here…”

“It really is a tomb!”

…Thud!

As soon as Zhang Meng finished speaking, the fatty beside the two of them immediately went weak in the knees and sat down on the ground, spreading his hands out to both sides.

“I’m not going, I’m not going!”

“My legs are weak!”

“Boss, Sister-in-law Zhang Meng…”

“Is your Dragon Country too dangerous?”

The fatty was almost scared silly by the back-and-forth between Wu Tian and Zhang Meng.

“How can there be so many tricks in building a tomb? Let alone seeing ghosts, I’d be scared half to death just seeing a tomb!”

“No, no!”

The fatty waved his hand.

“I’ll just wait for you here, I’m not going in!”

“…Are you sure?”

Wu Tian looked at the fatty strangely.

“…”

“This… what’s there to be unsure about?”

“Alright!”

Wu Tian turned his head and left.

“Hey…”

“There’s still a thousand-year-old malevolent spirit following behind. Who knows when it will strike? Zhang Meng, you say…”

“Someone is left alone, wouldn’t this be a good opportunity?”

“…Yes!”

Zhang Meng was startled, then her peripheral vision glanced at the fatty and she nodded sharply.

“Especially the weakest one who is left alone!”

“Most likely that malevolent spirit will strike!”

Fatty: … “Holy crap!”

Scrambling up from the grass, the fatty rushed towards Wu Tian and Zhang Meng in front of him, his face full of terror.

“Wait for me!”

“I’m not scared anymore, not scared at all! I’m full of energy now!”

…Looking at a mountain can exhaust a horse!

When Wu Tian and the other two first entered the Peach Blossom Forest, they didn’t feel that the small mountain was very far from them!

But… when the three of them actually started walking, they realized!

The distance… was truly not ordinary!

From the beginning when they entered through the gate to now, having walked more than half the distance, the watch on Wu Tian’s wrist had gone from three in the morning all the way to four-thirty in the morning.

And the three of them were walking at a considerable pace.

An hour and a half!

If it weren’t for their position constantly approaching the small mountain in the distance.

Wu Tian would have thought it was a ghost-wall!

Finally… when Wu Tian and the other two were exhausted and about to stop and rest for a while.

In the depths of the dense forest directly ahead, the faint sound of flowing water appeared.

“Ding-dong…”

“Whoosh…”

“Wait!”

“Don’t make a sound yet…”

Wu Tian frowned and tilted his ear, listening towards the dense forest ahead. After a long while… “Water sound!”

“There’s water!”

Wu Tian’s face lit up with joy!

Even the exhausted Zhang Meng and the fatty behind him were invigorated, following behind Wu Tian and quickening their pace towards the dense forest ahead!

Hearing the sound of water… this meant they were approaching the entrance.

As long as they followed the stream down and found a spot at the foot of the mountain facing the stream.

They would be able to see the entrance to the Peach Blossom Garden!

“Go!”

“Let’s make a dash and rush directly into the Peach Blossom Garden!”

“As long as we get in…”

A cold glint flashed in Wu Tian’s eyes.

“Are we still afraid that this soul, dormant for a thousand years, won’t show itself?”

“By then, I’ll have to take a good look…”

“Who the hell are you?!”

… “Why is this water black too?”

A few minutes later, Zhang Meng, who had arrived at the water’s edge, looked at the inky black water in the stream and her eyes widened slightly!

“Let me see!”

The fatty was startled, then quickly walked over to Zhang Meng’s side.

He also lowered his head and looked at the water surface!

“…”

“Holy crap…”

“Thud!”

The fatty sat down on the riverbank with a thud!

“I can’t take it anymore!”

“I really can’t stand it…”

The fatty completely couldn’t hold on anymore!

As a genuine Westerner who grew up in Ulan Country, how could he have experienced the mysterious East of Dragon Country, which had accumulated five thousand years of history?

Moreover, everything he had seen and experienced in the past few days had been constantly refreshing the fatty’s worldview.

In the fatty’s words:

I’m truly enlightened!

… “Don’t panic!”

Wu Tian frowned and pulled the fatty up from the ground.

“What are you panicking about?”

“You’re already used to black peach blossom forests, and a creek full of black water scares you?”

“Stand firm!”

“You need to think clearly!”

“You’ve bowed ninety-nine times and are just one shiver away. Are you going to shiver or not?”

“If you don’t shiver that last bit, you won’t even save your life!”

“…”

The fatty stood on the bank, his face somewhat pale, forcing himself to stay upright.

At this moment, startled by Wu Tian’s shout, he immediately shivered.

“Shiver!”

“I shiver, but not…”

Whoosh!

Suddenly!

Just as the fatty was speaking to Wu Tian, his legs, which were already a bit weak, slipped, and he landed on the bank with a thud!

Thud!

A sudden splash of water echoed in the silent environment!

The fatty’s feet… submerged into the black stream!

【The fatty was so scared by you, coupled with his already weak legs, that he directly slipped on the bank, and his feet even submerged into the unknown black water stream. However… the pure yang energy carried by the fatty’s virgin body unexpectedly flowed down with the water, attracting the ferryman here!】

【Following the ferryman, you can enter the Peach Blossom Garden!】

【Note: It is easy to lose oneself in black water; only the ferry boat can resolve it!】

“…”

“Holy crap!”

“He really is a mascot, this actually works?!”

Wu Tian couldn’t help but curse in his heart!

Then, he irritably reached out and slapped the sniffling fatty on the shoulder.

“What are you crying about?!”

“Just stand up and it’s done. This black water is fine, it’s just infected by this Peach Blossom Forest!”

“Hurry up!”

“Get up, it’s time to go!”

“…”

“Huh?”

The fatty thought his legs had already been corroded by the black water. Hearing Wu Tian’s words, he immediately pulled his legs out of the water.

When he saw that his legs were unharmed… the fatty then gave a silly smile.

“Good, good…”

“I thought I’d have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair, hehe…”

“Big win!”

Wu Tian: … Zhang Meng: … Just as Wu Tian and Zhang Meng were looking at the fatty with speechless expressions, a song sung on the water… drifted over from afar!

“Two thousand hurried years, looking back, full of desolation, a gaunt figure, no longer the ambition to reach the nine heavens, to find one person’s heart to grow old with, to meet a beauty and turn white-haired, alas, a person wastes away…”

“Esteemed guests…”

“Are you going to the Peach Blossom Garden?”
