The shi+p slowly entered the side path where there are less shi+ps Although Jia Xu was dragged into the cabin of the shi+p, he still paid attention to the surrounding waters As they travelled further in, the vegetation became denser This caused Jia Xu’s instincts to scream at him to leave as quickly as possible

“Your Majesty The river water would turn rapid further ahead on this side path There would be a lot of shaking later” The boatet past that quickly?” Jia Xu asked

“Of course We would be able to rejoin the main streareat The faster we move, the better” Jia Xu hoped to leave this place

“Not good!
