Chapter 252: Encounter in the Rainforest (1)

The reason why he chose the river was because there are relatively few trees by the river. Most of the danger in this rainforest came from the trees here. Whether it was the strangeness of these trees or the powerful creatures living on them, they would all bring danger. If he avoided it, he would be much safer.
After choosing this fork, Xiao Shi followed the path and continued forward. As he moved forward, the sound of the river that echoed in his ears became louder and louder. Then, a relatively spacious river appeared in his vision.
Like the raindrops, the entire river carried a terrifying burning power.
Xiao Shi stood by the river. Even from afar, he could already feel the terrifying burning power in the river. If he accidentally fell into the river, he would probably be burned to ashes in an instant. For a moment, he did not dare to get too close.
The situation here was exactly as he had imagined. There were indeed relatively few trees here. As a result, the raindrops fell much less.
“Could it be that the rain here mainly depends on the number of trees?” Xiao Shi was deep in thought. When there were more trees, the rainfall was clearly more frequent than in places with fewer trees.
Xiao Shi immediately followed the river. He continued forward. He only wanted to leave this rainforest as soon as possible. As he kept moving, he was on guard at all times. Even if some special plants suspected to be heavenly treasures appeared nearby, he did not rashly approach them.
After all, to him, as long as he killed someone, he would be able to drop items. There was no need to take the risk in this dangerous rainforest for these things.
As he advanced cautiously, the journey was calm and peaceful, and they did not encounter any situation. However, just as he was about to leave the river area, Xiao Shi suddenly turned around as if he had sensed something. “Hmm?”
He suddenly saw a small boat appear in the river. The small boat was not big. It looked very ordinary, as if it was just like an ordinary boat. There was nothing special about it.
But with the burning power of this river, ordinary boats would definitely be burned to ashes in an instant. The fact that this small boat could sail safely on the river was clearly not as simple as it looked.
There were three people standing on this small boat. The person in the lead was an old man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat. He held a wooden fishing rod in his hand and was sitting on the boat fishing. His face was covered in the shadow under the bamboo hat.
Xiao Shi could not see his face clearly. Behind the old man stood a boy and a girl. The two children smiled. They each held an item in their hands. The boy was holding a folded and neat Daoist robe. On the Daoist robe was a Daoist crown. The girl was holding a horsetail whisk in her hand.
The moment he saw the three of them, Xiao Shi’s pupils constricted violently. He was shocked to discover that he could not sense any aura fluctuations from the three of them. In his eyes, the three of them were like mortals.
Even through the Red Tiger Totem and the Crimson Blood Ghost Eye on the Red Tiger Totem, he could not see anything abnormal. It was as if they were ordinary people without cultivation.
However, ordinary people without cultivation would definitely not appear in this dangerous rainforest that even he had to be careful of. It was even more impossible for them to sail on this river with a terrifying burning power.
They were definitely mighty figures with extremely high cultivation levels, so much so that he could no longer sense any aura fluctuations from them!
This shocked Xiao Shi.
The strongest person he had seen now was Wu Muzhen. However, Wu Muzhen would not let him not sense even a trace of aura fluctuation.
It was obvious.
The cultivation and strength of the three people who appeared in front of him were far above Wu Muzhen. This was a shocking existence that was even stronger than Wu Muzhen.
Xiao Shi did not expect to encounter such a powerful existence in this rainforest. The moment he saw this old man and the children beside him, Xiao Shi felt his vision blur. In the next moment, he was shocked to discover that he was no longer by the riverbank, but on this small boat.
A numbing feeling immediately filled Xiao Shi’s entire mind. In front of such a powerful and unknown mighty figure. He could not control his own life at all.
Life and death were all in the hands of others. This weak and powerless feeling appeared in Xiao Shi’s life for the first time.
Just as Xiao Shi was shocked, an ancient voice that seemed to contain a long time suddenly sounded in his mind. “Little friend, there’s no need to be nervous.”
As the ancient voice sounded, Xiao Shi’s vision blurred again. He realized that a tea table had appeared on this small boat. At this moment, he was sitting in front of this tea table with a steaming teacup in front of him.
The old man was sitting at the other end of the tea table, but his back was facing Xiao Shi and he did not turn around. The two children stood respectfully at both ends of the tea table. They were still holding the Daoist robe, Daoist crown, and horsetail whisk.
“It’s fate that 1 met you. I want to treat you to a cup of tea..”
