  Riding on the back of a large black turtle as big as a millstone, Leng Yun followed the rapid flow into the stream, and slid gently into a pitch-black area, which seemed to be completely different from the outside world - Gui Cui Gorge. However, as soon as she entered, Leng Yun couldn't help but shiver, this Gui Cui Gorge was really too cold, even though she had been swimming around in the Wild Dragon Lake for years and wasn't afraid of any water domain, Leng Yun still felt a kind of illusion that her whole body was about to be frozen.

  Just as Leng Yun felt the cold was becoming unbearable, the large black turtle below him suddenly sent over a warm energy that, although somewhat cool, was infinitely warmer than the Ghost Worry Gorge. This change was not unfamiliar to Leng Yun; in the past, whenever he encountered water domains that made him feel uncomfortable, Xiao Hei would always transmit a ball of his cultivated energy, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call it demonic energy. However, in the past, as soon as this demonic energy entered his body, his frozen body would immediately recover. This time, however, it took a strange route, wandering around inside him several times before finally warming him up completely.

  Leng Yun, who had just recovered, couldn't help but let out a low curse again under the water, "This damned place is even colder than that big black hole where the Lake God lives!"

  Facing Cold Cloud's complaints, Big Black Turtle seemed to have felt nothing unusual, only raised its head and let out a low hum towards Cold Cloud, then swam past the depths of Ghost Worry Brook.

  As for this ghostly stream that made both the people of Yizhou and Rongzhou change color, Leng Yun didn't have too much fear, perhaps because he was used to all sorts of strange waters. After all, in the Barbarian Dragon Lake, he had seen many strange places with Da Hei Gu, including the dwelling place of the dragon that the islanders respectfully called the "Lake God", a huge underwater whirlpool that spun rapidly, and even Leng Yun and Da Hei Gu had once faced this giant python that was about 30 to 50 meters long.

  Of course, the result was that the dragon didn't even notice Leng Yun and Da Hei Guo, not even giving them a glance as it swam past them. This made Leng Yun and Da Hei Guo even bolder, to the point where they dared to go anywhere within a hundred miles of Man Long Island.

  However, it was precisely because of this that Leng Yun really saw a lot of strange and bizarre underwater creatures, including some that looked exceptionally powerful, but fortunately they didn't bother Leng Yun much, at most just using the water flow to roll the two little guys far away when Leng Yun and Da Hei Gui were being too mischievous.

  Riding on the back of a large black turtle, Leng Yun curiously observed the underwater creatures swimming around them while also carefully searching for any treasures. This was what his mother had told him before he left home - that Gui Chou Gorge was a good place to find strange things, and if he encountered anything unusual, he should put it in his Qian Kun bag. Leng Yun naturally wouldn't have any objections to his mother's words, but the more he paid attention, the more he became confused. There were indeed many strange things in Gui Chou Gorge, including the fish, which seemed different from those in Man Long Lake. This made Leng Yun, who had little experience, wonder what he should collect.

  It had only been a short while, and just as Leng Yun was starting to get anxious, he suddenly heard an almost inaudible sobbing sound next to his ear. Upon hearing this sound, Leng Yun couldn't help but think of the mysterious black ship that had rushed into the ravine earlier. He quickly patted the head of the large black turtle under him and asked, "Little Black, did you hear someone crying?"

  Underwater, the hearing of the big black turtle is naturally countless times stronger than that of Leng Yun. After all, Xiao Hei is the real underwater demon beast, and he is at most just a freak transformed by the joint efforts of the big black turtle and the big white turtle.

  Hei let out a low hum again as Leng Yun's words fell, and the small turtle that was originally swimming slowly along one side of the stone wall suddenly made a 90-degree turn and swam to the other side of the Ghost Worrying Brook. Although the brook wasn't wide, only about ten meters or so, Hei carrying Leng Yun actually swam into a new waterway. After entering this waterway, the crying sound by Leng Yun's ears finally became clear, and he could even make out that the person crying should be a young girl who wasn't very old.

  Before long, the little black that had been swimming several meters underwater slowly rose to the surface. However, as soon as Cold Cloud poked his head out of the water, he let out a cry of surprise and then cursed loudly: "Damn it, what kind of place is this? How can there be such strong winds?"

  It wasn't until the cold cloud broke through the water's surface that he discovered a massive gust of wind sweeping across it. As these winds slid past his face, they felt like icy knives, cutting him with a stinging pain. The howling sound in his ears was like the wailing of ghosts, and it was only then that Cold Cloud finally understood the origin of ghostly cries.

  Scolded, but Leng Yun still persisted, his gaze involuntarily cast towards a black ship not far away, which was now stuck in a reef of rocks. If it weren't for the faint sound of crying coming from it, Leng Yun might not have even noticed this black ship that blended in with its surroundings.

  After a careful look around, this should be a gap inside the Ghostly Gorge. Not far away, there seems to be an entrance to an underground river that is not very large. The black ship was obviously blown in by the wind, but fortunately, it didn't drift towards the entrance of the underground river, or else it would have been smashed to pieces.

  Looking at the black ship, listening to the crying sound coming from beside his ear, Leng Yun was somewhat indecisive. Before leaving home, his mother had repeatedly warned him that no matter what he encountered on this journey, he should not interfere with anything and just focus on hurrying along. Apparently, this black ship should be one of the things his mother had warned him about. However, listening to the crying sound beside his ear, Leng Yun couldn't help but feel some compassion. After all, in a place like this, if he didn't go to rescue her, perhaps even the gods wouldn't be able to save this little girl who was crying.

  Lifting her head to look up at the top, Cold Cloud could only see a faint white line. Although she had no idea how deep they were in the Ghost Worrying Brook, she believed they were already far from the entrance. After all, although the big black turtle swam slowly, with the current inside the brook, their speed was definitely not slow.

  "Xiao Hei, do you think we should go and save her?"

  Da Hei Gui let out two low growls as soon as he heard the question. As for Da Hei Gui, who had been raised by Leng Yun since childhood, Leng Yun could naturally understand the meaning behind his growls.

  "Let's go take a look!"

  As soon as Leng Yun's words fell, the big black turtle flew up from the water surface and landed steadily on the stern of the black ship. However, the big black turtle obviously still couldn't grasp its strength, and when it landed on the stern, it was like a huge boulder heavily smashing onto the ship, causing the entire ship to shake violently. As the ship shook, the crying sounds inside immediately stopped, but then suddenly, several very weak coughing sounds came from within the ship.

  "May I ask, who is the senior outside the boat? Junior wishes you peace and courtesy!" The speaker was obviously the old man inside the boat who had spoken several times before. Apparently, the other party had misunderstood that Lingyun was a certain senior expert. After all, in a place like Gui Xuan Gorge, it wasn't somewhere that those with weak strength could stay.
