Chapter 388 In Distress On the Ancient Road

Mu Yi was totally unaware of what happened outside . At the moment, he was looking around in surprise . He thought the Yellow River’s ancient road would be a magnificent road to the sky, but now he found that he was wrong .

Under Mu Yi’s feet was not a muddy path, but a narrow, blue stone road . The only difference was that the traces on the blue stone road were complex, and the scars of swords and axes were everywhere . It could be imagined that a dangerous battle had taken place on this path .

On both sides of the path, there was a long rolling river, just as the blue stone road was placed in a river, but the blue stone road seemed to have some mysterious power to block the rolling river outside .

“The Yellow River’s ancient road refers to an ancient road in the middle of the Yellow River?” Mu Yi said .

“Is this the Yellow River’s ancient road? Is the Yellow River outside?”

Mu Yi, Ouyang Xu and his two friends thought the same . Ouyang Xu was surprised and couldn’t help but extend his hand outside . In his eyes, the outside was just the water of the Yellow River and was completely harmless .

“Be careful,” Mu Yi reminded him . After all, the situation was not clear, and no one knew what dangers were hidden on the Yellow River’s ancient road, so they were extremely careful .

But it was too late . Ouyang Xu had reached out into the river .

“Ah!”

Suddenly, Ouyang Xu started to scream . Mu Yi and other people looked at him in horror, only to see that Ouyang Xu’s left hand had turned to a white bone in just a moment .

Ouyang Xu quickly took his hand back, but his left hand was gone .

It was unexpected . Mu Yi guessed that there might be danger, but he did not expect that Ouyang Xu could not resist it .

People looked at Ouyang Xu’s left hand, which was only white bone left then to the river which seemed calmas it flowed slowly outside . They were filled with a surging fear .

“Are you ok?” Li Jun was right beside Ouyang Xu . He had wanted to extend his hand to touch the water, but now, he was thankful that he didn’t .

“I…” Ouyang Xu tried to bear the pain from his left hand, and he trembled as he stretched his left hand in front of him . Strangely, there was not a drop of blood flowing out of his left hand, only the bones of his hand .

The flesh had not been bitten off, but seemed to have been melted off . The water outside melted his flesh and blood in a moment without harming his bones .

“I’m fine . ” Ouyang Xu said, gritting his teeth . He tore the inner lining of his clothes and wrapped his left hand layer by layer .

There was no damage above the wrist . Since his left hand completely couldn’t be used as before, it would become his weakness .

After this incident, all the people were depressed because Ouyang Xu had a bad beginning .

“Everyone should be careful . All of you cheer up . The Yellow River’s ancient road is more dangerous than we think . ”

Mu Yi took a look outside . Other than the threat of the river, Mu Yi had a vague feeling that there were other dangers hidden nearby .

“The people are gone . ” Qiu Yuetong suddenly said .

Everyone was surprised then looked around . Sure enough, they did not find any other people . Just as Qiu Yuetong said, they were gone .

“Did they leave?” Li Jun asked .

“No, look at the ground carefully . There is no trace . Unless they can all fly, they can’t not leave without a trace,” Qiu Yuetong said .

Everyone looked at their feet and looked at the distance then nodded .

“Is there more than one ancient road?” Xin Lu said with a deep thought .

“It’s possible . After all, there are six keys, so there may exist six ancient roads,” Mu Yi said . He didn’t know whether only five people could pass through each road, but he only needed to lead the people forward . This ancient road would eventually have an end, and he would meet the others there .

“Let’s move on,” Mu Yi said .

Mu Yi took the lead . Qiu Yuetong followed him closely, and Xin Lu, Ouyang Xu, and Li Jun followed behind them, moving down the ancient road . Xin Lu was the most optimistic at the beginning, but felt wary only half an hour later .

“Something’s wrong,” Xin Lu said, the oldest and most stable .

At present, they had been marching along the Yellow River’s ancient road for half an hour . Their speed was just fast enough for them to walk dozens of miles in half an hour . But the problem was that they had not reached the end yet . They had a feeling that even if they kept walking to the end of their lives, they would not arrive at the end of the ancient road .

“There seems to be a sound,” Li Jun said later .

Even without Li Jun’s warning, Mu Yi and other people heard it . At first, the sound was weak and easily mistaken for the sound of flowing water, but gradually, the sound was getting closer and closer like the sound of an army moving forward . The river around the blue stone road began to vibrate .

“Be careful, everyone . The danger is coming,” Mu Yi said . He couldn’t use the five thunders charm here, but the Xin lamp floated above his head . Facing the unknown danger, Mu Yi was alert .

Qiu Yuetong’s long sword came out of its sheath . The body of the sword was as green as autumn water and sent out a sharp spirit . It was a sharp sword that would cut clean through iron as though it were mud .

Mu Yi thought the sword was almost integrated with Qiu Yuetong .

The sword could already be regarded as a magic weapon . With more spirituality, it could be regarded as the kind of magic weapon that everyone in the world dreamt of .

The three others took out their own weapons . Xin Lu took out a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings . Mu Yi had seen the strength of these gloves before . People wearing them could be invulnerable . What Xin Lu was good at was palm techniques, and the pair of gloves on his hands could be regarded as the most powerful tool for him .

Ouyang Xu lost his left hand, but he used his right hand to handle his sword . It was a flexible sword, so he didn’t have to worry too much .

Li Jun, on the other hand, used a short knife that seems to be broken . The most commonly used weapons in the world was the sword and knife . The knife was known as the hegemony of soldiers, and the sword was known as the emperor of soldiers . Both of them were the easiest to use, especially the knife . As long as you had a little talent and strength, you could use it well .

As they raised their guard, the river outside the blue stone road shook violently . Then, several people were shocked to see a white skeleton walking on the ancient road .

“What is this?” Mu Yi had expected the danger to come, but he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes . The river could melt everything, so how could there be skeletons?

Wait!

Suddenly, Mu Yi thought of Ouyang Xu’s left hand . The flesh and blood on his hand were completely melted, only the bone had been left undamaged . Did the river only melt the flesh and blood of people?

Otherwise, the skeleton in front of him couldn’t be explained at all .

Qiu Yuetong, Xin Lu and the other two looked at the skeleton . They had their own conjectures . A single skeleton may not be worth their tension, but when there were skeletons coming in all directions, they couldn’t relax .

“Kill it . ” Li Jun couldn’t bear it .

“Kill!”

Mu Yi didn’t hesitate to give orders . The more skeletons that gathered, the more likely they might be trapped here . They were powerful, but there were many skeletons to deal with . The blue stone road also affected their performance .

Mu Yi finally knew how the traces of battle on the blue stone road were made . The Yellow River’s ancient road was indeed full of danger .

After hesitating, the skeletons around were slaughtered . There were many skeletons, but they were not strong or fasto, so Mu Yi and other people could easily defeat them . The only annoying thing was that there were too many skeletons to kill them all .

The passageway on both sides had been completely filled with skeletons, so that people could neither move forward nor backward . With the passage of time, they began to panic .

“Do you feel it?” Taking advantage of the opportunity to get close to Mu Yi, Qiu Yuetong asked .

“You feel it, too?” Mu Yi asked, when he saw Qiu Yuetong nodding, he was more on guard .

“I don’t think we can keep fighting . We have to leave now,” Qiu Yuetong said .

“Well, I’ll be responsible for clearing the skeletons in front of me . You pay attention to both sides . Let’s get out of here first . ”

Hearing Qiu Yuetong’s words, Mu Yi didn’t hesitate . He didn’t know whether there would be any other danger to come soon, but he didn’t want to stay here any longer . He was panicked and was almost sure that if he stayed here much longer, there would definitely be something terrible .
