The reason why the few of them stopped in front of the underground river was extremely simple. Looking at the river, they felt a sense of danger. Moreover, just when they wanted to cross the river, they discovered the Serpent Spirit.

”Looks like this river belongs to the dragon essence spirit, he might not let us pass.” Miao Liuer's face revealed a look of worry, this kind of monster that occupied a region, would not normally let people casually step into his territory.

”Can we go around it?” Su He asked. Previously, she had also gone to see the dragon essence, its gigantic body entrenched in the river, causing huge waves.

”I don't think so. I can only think of a way to cross this underground river.” Hua Yunshu was silent for a moment, before continuing.

”Why don't we try to communicate with him? If we can't, then if the four of us insist on crossing the river, then that dragon spirit will not be able to stop us.” Mu Yangxin said.

Since they had to take the underground river, this was the only way. After a few people made some preparations, they went to the side of the river.

Mu Yangxin took out a small boat from his bundle, and then threw the Bamboo Leaf Boat into the water. It immediately turned into a small boat, and the few of them boarded it.

Just as the four of them stepped onto the small boat, the surrounding water splashed and the small boat began to sway in the water. However, it was still a magic treasure, so it was not easy to overturn the waves.

The massive body of the dragon spirit floated out of the water. It stared at them with its dark green eyes, and a cold voice rang out. ”Ignorant youngster, you dare to recklessly enter.”

”Senior, we only want to cross this underground river. Senior, please let us pass.” Mu Yangxin stood out and chatted with the dragon essence.

But just as Mu Yangxin's words fell, waves of water came sweeping over. The dragon essence spirit did not care about it anymore, it was just watching as the few of them barged into its territory, feeling extremely displeased. After so many years, no one dared to come over, just wanting to play with them.

The few people who were fighting were caught unprepared. The small boat on the water surface was shaking non-stop, and Hua Yunshu used a spell to stabilize the small boat.

As long as they could think of a way to cross the river in front of the dragon spirit, it would be fine. Hua Yunshu and Mu Yangxin unanimously decided to let Su He and Miao Liuer stay in the small boat.

The small boat continued to move forward, but a large wave had blocked off its path, and the boat had tilted, allowing Miao Liuer to take the chance and knock Su He out.

Coincidentally, Su He fell in the direction of the dragon's essence. Miao Liuer's face carried a bit of anxiety, as if she was extremely flustered. She reached out her hand to grab Su He, but did not grab hold of him.

It was just that Hua Yunshu had seen all of Miao Liuer's movements. Hua Yunshu originally wanted Mu Yangxin to go up alone, and when Mu Yangxin was focusing on dealing with the dragon essence, Hua Yunshu was still able to focus on his side. All of Miao Liuer's movements fell into Hua Yunshu's eyes.

Hua Yunshu immediately pounced towards Su He, and the dragon essence also noticed Su He's figure that was flung out of the boat, as it charged towards Su He, but was stopped by Hua Yunshu. Hua Yunshu carried Su He into his embrace, then flew onto the boat, and then placed Su He on the boat.

Hua Yunshu's sword cleaved the wave wall in front of him apart, and the small boat followed along the path Hua Yunshu had taken to split the wall. Su He sat there, and patted his chest with fear still lingering in his heart.

Hua Yunshu looked at Miao Liuer, giving her a warning glance. Miao Liuer knew that Hua Yunshu had seen it, but she did not care too much about it.
