CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 31: 9 SERPENTS PULL THE BOAT, 5 TRANSMIGRATORS

When Su Mu got closer, he discovered that there were five people standing on the boat.

This boat was several times larger than the usual small boats, entirely pitch-black in color, and its shape was squarish, resembling a lidless coffin.

In front of this coffin-like small boat, nine small black snakes were pulling it upstream.

The five figures on the boat, three men and two women, all looked very young, in the prime of their lives. Some had faces full of excitement, some were curious, and others were terrified.

"Brother Ye, where are we headed..."

A slightly burly young man asked a young man next to him with a resolute face and a head of black hair.

"I don’t know, but what is certain is that we must have left Blue Star by now."

Ye Fan frowned, gazing at the endless Long River, murmuring to himself.

At this moment, a well-figured woman in a light blue long dress looked around in horror, her expression nervous, and instinctively leaned closer to Ye Fan’s back.

"Can we still go back..." Liu Yiyi was very nervous. Since the mutation at Mount Tai, they had been separated from their other classmates and teachers. The usually silent Ye Fan was very calm at this moment, which is why she leaned toward his back.

Standing behind Liu Yiyi, Li Xiaoman was also very scared, but amidst the fear, she was a bit excited, because she naturally liked thrilling experiences. That’s why she couldn’t stand the taciturn Ye Fan and broke up with him.

The slightly burly young man was named Pang Bo, a good brother of Ye Fan. Although he was also a bit scared, he appeared quite composed at this moment.

Among them, the calmest was Ye Fan, who instead was worrying about his Benz parked at the foot of Mount Tai. If he didn’t hurry back, how much would he have to pay in parking fees?

"There... it looks like someone is walking towards us?"

Liu Yiyi pointed ahead. At that moment, a thin layer of mist had appeared on the river, and in the upstream, they could vaguely see a figure walking towards them.

"It seems... he is walking on the river!"

Pang Bo said in shock.

They were young people of the new century who valued science and were skeptical of any supernatural phenomenon, but the events of the past two days had repeatedly broken their perceptions.

At this moment, all their eyes were on the figure walking towards them.

Almost in an instant, the figure seemed to teleport, covering the few thousand meters in an instant to arrive just ten meters away.

Only then did they see the figure clearly.

Tall and slender, he wore a clean and simple cyan robe. His features were sharp and defined, with sword-like brows and bright eyes, particularly those eyes, as deep as the stars, ancient and unperturbed.

Standing on the water’s surface, the mist around the river seemed like Immortal Mist, enveloping him, leaving the five of them dumbfounded.

Like a man walking out of a myth, daring not to meet his gaze directly.

For a moment, they forgot how to speak.

Before they could speak, the man’s ethereal voice slowly came forth: "Where do you come from?"

This voice, like a celestial tune, echoed in their minds, making them subconsciously tell the truth, not daring to deceive.

At this moment, Ye Fan, the backbone, took a step forward and answered, "To this senior, we come from another distant place, and even I don’t know where we are now, nor where we should go."

.....

Upon hearing this, Su Mu already had an answer in his heart. These were indeed transmigrators, from another world.

However, this young man answering him seemed calmer than the others.

He did not reveal the exact world he came from, nor did he dare to deceive, giving an ambiguous answer instead.

In fact, Su Mu wasn’t interested in which world they came from. They were transmigrators anyway; knowing they were transmigrators was enough.

"Oh."

"If you want to cross this river, you’ll have to pay a toll."

Su Mu lay at the front of the boat, using his Divine Techniques to make the waters around the boat Static, forcefully stopping the nine black snakes pulling the boat.

This was Su Mu’s fourth encounter with transmigrators.

However, these transmigrators were different from the ones before. They had nine little black snakes pulling their boat, and there were five of them at once.

This was a good thing, the more transmigrators, the more tolls one could collect, earning more Favor Points.

.....

"Senior, will this work?"

Ye Fan pulled out ten hundred-dollar bills from his body and handed them to Su Mu.

The moment he saw those ten hundred-dollar bills, Su Mu’s pupils contracted.

Ah??

A fellow from his homeland?

Also from Blue Star?

As the saying goes, when fellow countrymen meet, they feel extra close.

But as another saying goes, fellow countrymen? They’re the ones you fleece!

Su Mu could offer a discount for the sake of being compatriots, but the toll could not be waived. Su Mu was no saint; anyone crossing his river, even the emperor himself, must leave a toll!

That’s the rule!

.....

"This won’t do."

Su Mu shook his head.

These hundred-dollar bills were useless to him; they must at least hand over something useful.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was certain of one thing: he had definitely left Blue Star. Otherwise, on Blue Star, there was nothing that money couldn’t solve, and if there was, it just meant there wasn’t enough money.

"Is it not enough?"

At this point, Pang Bo took out a bank card, saying: "The password is three sixes and three eights, and there are five hundred thousand in there."

Even after hearing this, Su Mu shook his head again.

Five hundred thousand, before transmigrating, could be enough for a down payment on a house.

But now, don’t mention five hundred thousand, even fifty billion would be just waste paper in his eyes. Now, Su Mu only had eyes for treasures, those of value to him.

Seeing that even so much money didn’t work, the five of them knew they were definitely not on Blue Star anymore.

However, thinking about it, it made sense. Could anyone on Blue Star teleport several thousand meters in an instant, or walk on water?

This had to be a bizarre supernatural Otherworld.

Li Xiaoman bit her lip, making a decision in her heart, stepped forward, and whispered coquettishly: "Senior... I can stay with you if you don’t mind."

Upon hearing this, except for Ye Fan, the other three looked at Li Xiaoman in astonishment.

Hearing this, Su Mu frowned and said: "I’ll say it one last time, I want a toll, a treasure."

"If you dare say such things again, do you believe I’ll throw you in the river to feed the fish?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoman was terrified, her face pale, not daring to entertain such thoughts again.
