Chapter 94: The Chicken-Headed Peach-Bodied Boat of the Gongshu Clan
The night fell quietly, and the lake was lightly wrapped in a veil of darkness, eerie and deep. Everything in sight was hazy, and the cold wind howled, sweeping across the water, bringing a biting chill.

A paper boat is like a rootless duckweed, swaying gracefully on the lake with the wind.

At the bow of the paper boat, a young man was holding a fishing rod with a frown on his face.

The young man was Lu Yue. An hour had passed since he started fishing, but he had not caught a single ghost.

Lu Yue was also a little puzzled.

Could it be that the fast-growing chicken is not to your taste?

Why not try changing it to some fresh animal blood later?

The smell of blood should attract the attention of these water ghosts.

Lu Yue kept changing his position, circling around the periphery of the red fog area.

This road to the underworld is indeed strange. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel a chill running through your bones, as if you have really stepped into the underworld and cannot turn back.

In addition to fishing, Lu Yue's other purpose is to test the limits of the paper boat.

Before the ruins were opened, one had to deal with this lake every day. If one did not understand the limits of the paper boat and rashly plunged into the underworld road, if the paper boat was damaged, the whole person would have to die.

Just then, a cry for help pierced the silence of the night.

"Help... help..."

On the lake in the red fog area, a wooden board was floating with a woman lying on it.

"Is there any kind-hearted person who can save me..." The woman looked towards Lu Yue, her eyes revealing a sense of weakness, pity and helplessness.

Lu Yue narrowed his eyes and looked at Hong Wu, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The little fisherman on the boat, can you please save me..."

The woman paddled desperately with her hands and floated out of the red fog area.

"Little sister, hurry up and grab my hand."

Lu Yue's eyes lit up and he immediately put down his fishing rod and swung the oar, leaving a trail of afterimages. Just when the red fog was about to cover the other party, he quickly grabbed the other party and pulled him up.

The woman boarded the boat smoothly.

Only then did Lu Yue see the other person's face clearly.

The woman's face was pale, as if she had been washed with bleach, and she was slightly plump, the type that netizens liked, but this kind of plumpness was a bit like the kind that caused edema.

"Thank you for saving me..."

Behind him, red mist surged in, like a huge mouth of the abyss swallowing everything.

Lu Yue moved swiftly, and as he swung the oars, the boat rushed out like an arrow.

"Miss, why are you here alone when it's so dangerous?"

"I am a nearby villager. I grew up with my grandfather. My grandfather took care of a tea garden by himself and was exhausted. I wanted to catch some fish for my sick grandfather at night to replenish his body, but the boat suddenly capsized..." The woman talked to herself aggrievedly, telling her tragic story with a pitiful look.

Tea girl?
Lu Yue suddenly remembered what happened when he first arrived at the village entrance to join in the fun.

"What a filial person! I like dealing with filial tea-picking ladies the most. Miss, will you offer me a few boxes of tea picked by your grandfather at a friendly price of only 1999?" Lu Yue asked while rowing.

The woman shook her head and said, "My dear brother, I have no way to repay your kindness. I can only work like a slave for you. If you want the tea that Grandpa picked, I will give it to you for free."

Free tea?

Lu Yue raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly remembered a joke on the Internet.

When it comes to repaying a life-saving favor, appearance is important. A handsome man will give himself to the man, while an ugly man will work like a slave. Is this woman implying that she is ugly?

"Am I ugly?"

“You seem very kind,” the woman replied.

Lu Yue: “…”

God is so kind.

After the topic was exhausted, Lu Yue rowed with all his might, gradually moving away from the red fog area. The woman behind him saw that Lu Yue had his back to her, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she approached quietly.

Just when I was about to reach out and touch it.

Snapped…

Lu Yue suddenly turned around and accidentally hit the tea girl with the oar in his hand.

With a splash, the tea girl fell into the lake.

"Miss, why are you hiding behind me?"

Lu Yue was surprised and quickly pulled the other person up.

The tea girl was soaking wet, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. Her pale face had an angry expression, making her look sinister.

Seeing that the red fog area in the distance had not spread, Lu Yue retracted his gaze and said, "Miss, you are soaked all over. It is easy to catch a cold. You must dry your clothes and warm yourself up."

"Is it here?" the tea girl asked in a cold tone.

"Of course, colds and flu are serious."

"How do you want to keep warm?"

"You can't light a fire here. There's only one way to warm yourself up. You may feel hot all over, but don't resist. I'm worried about the boat capsizing."

The woman slowly crawled towards Lu Yue, her eyes were colder than ever, as if they could freeze the soul.

"Little brother, you are so kind... It hurts, it hurts, what are you doing... You are not a human being, let me go!!!"

Puff puff……

Lu Yue held the woman tightly with his hands like pliers, and the kidney energy in his body rushed into her like crazy.

"Don't move. I'll warm you up."

The woman, who originally exuded a cold and gloomy aura, suddenly had rosy skin and began to feel hot. At the same time, a large number of water droplets appeared on the surface of her body, emitting a fishy smell unique to the lake.

In just a short moment, the woman's body shrank a lot and her skin became dry and wrinkled. Lu Yue looked at the water stains in the paper boat and suddenly stopped.

"Now that you're warmed up, you can go."

The skinny tea girl's body froze. She had never expected the other party to really let her go, but she didn't dare to say anything more. A vicious look flashed in her dry eyes.

Wait until you have replenished the water before flipping over your paper boat.

No matter how powerful you extraordinary people are on land, this is water.

It is the territory of water ghosts like them.

The skinny woman stood up straight, jumped up and prepared to jump into the lake.

"You really leave!"

Lu Yue seized the opportunity, and at the moment the opponent jumped into the air, he threw a punch with all his kidney energy. The scorching airflow directly dried the newly revived ghost into powder.

[Source Energy +1]

After that, Lu Yue began to clean the water stains on the paper boat. After all, it was just a paper boat and it had begun to leak water. Of course, it could also be related to the erosion of the negative energy on the lake surface.

After cleaning, Lu Yue began to paddle the boat towards the shore.

The limits of this paper boat have been tested. There is no problem for it to stay on the lake for three or four hours, so we have to think of an efficient way to gain energy.

The efficiency of obtaining source energy by fishing alone is too slow.

At this time, Lu Yue already had an immature idea in his mind.

After half an hour.

The paper boat sailed smoothly to the shore. Lu Yue carried the paper boat and temporarily kept it with the paper-folding craftsman. It must be said that this paper-folding craftsman was indeed more fair in doing business than others. He learned the model of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau and provided after-sales repair and drying services.

Lu Yue searched for shops selling alcohol on the map again.

Fishing one by one is too troublesome.

It’s better to just pour the anesthetic directly and use some ruthless means.

Lu Yue looked at the Datura leaves in his hand, thinking that to be on the safe side, it would be better to buy some animal blood to make a nest and increase the density of water ghosts.

While I was thinking about the plan, I heard a scream in the distance.

"Look, something is coming out of the red fog area."

In the darkness, a wooden boat emerged from the red fog intact.

Everyone was a little surprised, knowing that normal tools could not be used to cross the river.

Whose product is this?

"No, this is not an ordinary boat. It is made of peach wood. It can ward off evil spirits." Someone on the shore said in surprise.

Peach wood is the essence of the five woods and is the most yang thing. It is believed to have the effect of warding off evil spirits and has been one of the raw materials for making magical instruments since ancient times.

When the boat approached, someone went forward to check the wooden boat house and found that there was no one in the house and there was a wooden statue of a rooster placed at the stern of the boat.

It's so vivid, as if it will crow in the next second.

The crowd was a little confused until a knowledgeable supernatural being said, "It is said among the people that ghosts are afraid of roosters and avoid the crowing of roosters. Ghosts are yin and fear yang. Roosters are yang. Roosters crow when the sun rises, and when the sun rises, ghosts disappear. Therefore, most evil ghosts are afraid of roosters crowing."

"When the rooster crows, the Yang energy rises and the Yin energy recedes. Did you notice just now that the red mist was deliberately avoiding this boat?"

"The one who can make a wooden boat and this wooden chicken must be someone more than an ordinary extraordinary person."

"The opening of the Taicheng ruins has attracted many extraordinary people with profound backgrounds. This must be something from the bloodline families of those extraordinary people."

"Wait, look, there are words on it." Someone found a line of words carved on the wooden boat.

"It has a chicken head and a peach body. It is hard for evil spirits to invade it. It moves when there is wind. It is free to cross the lake."

The words "Gongshu" are also engraved below the small characters.

"Gongshu... Could he be from the lineage of Lu Ban?" An older transcendent frowned.

"Are you talking about the short-legged shooter?" a voice came from the crowd.

"Young man, don't say anything careless. You know that words can cause disaster. Lu Ban is the ancestor of carpenters. He was one of the strongest in ancient times. It is said that the wooden bird he made can fly for three days and three nights."

"If this wooden boat was made by the descendants of Lu Ban, it is not surprising that it can cross the lake."

"The orthodox Lu Ban lineage has disappeared for a long time, and the inheritance may have been cut off. It has not appeared in the extraordinary circle for a long time. I think it may be another extraordinary person pretending to be him."

"I don't know about that."

"No matter if it's authentic or not, the last sentence says boarding is free, does that mean we don't have to pay?"

Some people focus on the word "free".

Although they are extraordinary beings, most of them were ordinary people before awakening, so it is quite difficult for them to come up with 200,000 yuan at once.

"Let me try." The first person to eat crab came from the crowd.

Lu Yue's eyes flashed, because this person was the corpse driver in the same car.

"I'll try it too. Anyway, I'm wearing a shroud, so those ghosts can't attack me."

"Count me in."

When everyone at the scene saw a master of the third level of the divine world get on board, everyone else became much bolder.

Soon, the boat was filled with five people.

The corpse driver and his two armored corpses, and two extraordinary people.

Compared to the paper boat, this wooden boat looks much more sturdy.

The wooden boat moved with the wind and began to sail towards the center of the lake.

Lu Yue looked from a distance and didn't find anything strange for the time being. Then he left the shore, found the marketing manager of the resort, took out his ID and ordered a batch of fresh animal blood and good wine.
