Chapter 1635 Cross The Death River (1/2)

”That is... the Death River?”

Austin stared at the black river curiously.

It was quite enormous—over four hundred meters in width, to be exact.

Then, several whirlpools appeared out of the blue in the center of the river.

And out of the water came some creatures that started floating on the surface.

After looking at it more intensely, Austin realized that the creatures were actually corpses whose bodies were covered with moss. More than that, their eyes were a terrifying shade of green.

”The Death Water of Death River could bring corpses to life. These things can think. It's absolutely horrible,”

the old man sighed.

”Old man, what the heck is the Death River?”

Austin asked, finally giving in to his curiosity.

”Ancient great masters were big on setting up a Death River to prevent intruders from getting to their coffins.

The water in the Death River is called the Death Water, which has the ability to nourish corpses. Before the ancient great masters died, they made sure to put down several of their strong enemies so that they could throw their bodies into the Death River. Then, as time went by, the dead became intelligent corpses due to the Death Water.

The Death Water and the intelligent corpses in it are immensely spooky things. We should take extra measures to stay away from them.

However, if we can successfully cross this river, we will get to the Purple Immortal's coffin.

I have to say, the treasures there are priceless,”

the old man replied as he stared at the other side of the Death River expectantly.

Even with the use of his spiritual sense, he couldn't see anything on the other side of the river no matter how hard he tried.

'Intelligent corpses? Death Water?'

Austin felt a chill creep up his spine.

He took a closer look at the river, and spotted numerous corpses covered by moss. After looking at it for a while, he found that the number of these spooky things was incalculable.

”It's the Death River!”

The elders from the Rudimentary Holy Land who were following Austin immediately recognized the river in front of them, too.

Apparently, they knew much about the Death River as well.

'The Death River guards ancient great masters' real tombs.

Purple Immortal's most valuable treasures are on the other side of this river, ' the elders thought to themselves.

Their eyes lit up with excitement as they gazed at the Death River.

Upon seeing them, the old man and Austin wasted no time before running downstream.

This time, however, the elders of the Rudimentary Holy Land didn't go after them.

Instead, they stood by the Death River and observed it carefully.

”Forget that brat for now.
