Ye Qiu stared at the River Styx, which looked like an endless abyss, and thought to himself that since the flight was blocked by the restriction, he could only find a way out from the River Styx.
He knew very well that this trip would be very likely to encounter danger, but for the sake of the luck of the Nether Clan, how could he give up easily?
"Xiaodie, I plan to swim over." Ye Qiu turned his head and looked at Xiaodie firmly, with unquestionable determination in his words.
When Xiaodie heard this, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She subconsciously grabbed the corner of Ye Qiu's clothes and said, "Brother Ye, this river water is too terrible, what if..."
Her voice trembled, and she was obviously afraid of the strange smell of the Styx.
Ye Qiu gently patted Xiaodie on the shoulder, trying to soothe her emotions, and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful."
"So that's it, you're waiting for me here, I'll go down and explore the way first."
"If it's safe, I'll pick you up again."
In fact, Ye Qiu was not sure, and he didn't want Xiaodie to take risks.
But if Xiaodie is thrown here, Ye Qiu is worried that if there are ghost ants appear again, it will be troublesome.
After all, Xiaodie's cultivation is too weak, almost nothing.
"Brother Ye... be careful." Xiaodie reminded.
"Ye Qiu nodded, then used his true energy to protect his whole body to resist the possible erosion from the river water.
Then, his body flashed and appeared on the surface of the river.
Ye Qiu was very careful. After he didn't jump into the river directly, he slowly poked one foot into the river.
Just as the soles of his feet touched the river, a biting chill rushed upwards along his ankles, as if countless tiny ice needles were piercing his skin, and even the true energy of protecting his body fluctuated slightly.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu's heart moved, why not step by step on the water?
However, before he could turn his thoughts into actions, a huge pressure fell from the sky invisibly.
Ye Qiu's body was uncontrollable and was directly pressed into the Styx.
"It seems that I can only swim over."
The river water is like thick mud, and it is extremely difficult to move. Every time you stroke your arm, it feels like you are pulling a heavy object weighing tens of thousands of pounds.
After swimming for a while, Ye Qiu gradually adapted.
So, he was wondering, how to bring Xiaodie over?
The river water is too cold and Xiaodie cannot withstand it. If she uses true energy to protect her, it will affect Ye Qiu's actions.
Ye Qiu thought for a moment and thought of a solution.
"If Xiaodie is placed in Qiankun bag, she can be brought over, and even if she encounters danger, she can be guaranteed to be safe."
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu immediately swam back, and within a while, he returned to Xiaodie's side.
"Brother Ye, are you okay?" Xiaodie asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Ye Qiu smiled and told Xiaodie about his plan.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xiaodie looked embarrassed on her face.
"What's wrong with Xiaodie?" Ye Qiu said: "If you have any ideas, just say it bluntly, there are no outsiders here."
Xiaodie said: "My brother used to lock me in a dark and cold house. I have been staying for too long. I am afraid of the enclosed space."
In fact, there is another reason, that is, Xiaodie wants to look at Ye Qiu all the time.
I don’t know why, but as long as I can see Ye Qiu, she feels full of security.
"That's how it is!" Ye Qiu said: "The river water is too cold, and the river water is too thick, so it's very difficult to swim, otherwise..."
Ye Qiu originally wanted to say that Xiaodie stayed in the Qiankun Cauldron, and then he held the Qiankun Cauldron across the river.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Xiaodie said, "Brother Ye, can you swim over with me on your back?"
After saying that, Xiaodie quickly lowered her head, her ears were red, and she was so embarrassed.
She didn't even understand why she suddenly became so courageous?
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He never expected that Xiaodie would make such a request.
Looking at Xiaodie's drooping head and red ears, Ye Qiu's heart felt a complicated emotion.
He looked at the gloomy and cold River Styx, and thought to himself that Xiaodie seemed to be light in shape, but the Styx River was biting cold and he was worried that Xiaodie would not be able to stand it.
However, Xiaodie's timid and expectant look was worried that his rejection would make Xiaodie feel disappointed.
In the end, Ye Qiu decided to put safety first.
"Xiaodie, the river is extremely cold. I am afraid you will not be able to bear it when swimming with you on my back." Ye Qiu said in a gentle tone, trying to let Xiaodie dispel this idea.
Unexpectedly, Xiaodie's eyes were full of stubbornness and said, "Brother Ye, I'm not afraid of the cold. As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything."
Although her voice was small, she exuded an unquestionable spirit.
Ye Qiu sighed helplessly. He knew Xiaodie's temperament well. Although this little girl was slender and thin, once she recognized something, it would be difficult to change it easily.
Hesitated for a moment.
Ye Qiu had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll carry you over, but if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me in time."
"Yes." Xiaodie nodded vigorously, with a sweet smile on her face.
Ye Qiu squatted down and signaled Xiaodie to come up.
Xiaodie leaned gently on Ye Qiu's back, hugged his neck tightly with her hands, and pressed her little face against his back. Feeling Ye Qiu's warm body temperature, a different kind of peace of mind surged.
Ye Qiu took a deep breath and circulated the true energy in his body. In an instant, a layer of golden light was released, protecting her and Xiaodie firmly.
He did this to help Xiaodie resist the erosion and chill of the river water as much as possible to prevent accidents.
Then, he stepped into the Styx again.
As soon as he entered the water, the biting coldness surged, and Ye Qiu's body-protecting true energy fluctuated violently.
Although Xiaodie was very light in weight, the river water was extremely thick. He was carrying Xiaodie on his back and his swimming speed was significantly slowed down, and every stroke seemed a little difficult.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu could still bear it.
Xiaodie lay on Ye Qiu's back, and noticed that Ye Qiu was moving slowly, and her eyes were filled with heartache.
"Brother Ye, am I holding you back? Sorry." Xiaodie apologized softly.
"It has nothing to do with you, the main reason is that the water in the Styx River is too thick, so it is not easy to swim." Ye Qiu explained.
Xiaodie didn't say anything anymore. She hugged Ye Qiu tightly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing him.
Ye Qiu swam towards the other side.
Swimming while swimming.
Suddenly, he felt a powerful suction coming from the bottom of the river, as if an invisible giant hand was about to drag him into the endless abyss.
"Xiaodie, hug me tightly!" Ye Qiu shouted loudly, releasing his true energy to compete with the suction force.
Xiaodie was so scared that she closed her eyes and hugged Ye Qiu tightly with her hands.
Unexpectedly, the suction force became stronger and stronger, as if it was about to drag Ye Qiu and Xiaodie to the bottom of the river to bury it.
At a thrilling moment.
