Chapter 1993: Extreme Cold Descends, Fahai Uses True Qi to Keep Warm
Looking at the surging waves on the Tongtian River, one did not know where a leaf had been blown from; it drifted onto the river surface and sank instantly.
Sun Wukong saw this scene and was also extremely shocked. What kind of water was this that even a leaf could not float on it?
If it weren't for this old turtle appearing in time and carrying the five of them toward the other side, they probably wouldn't have had an easy night.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and it was about to be night. However, fortunately, this old turtle seemed very familiar with the road ahead.
"Old Turtle, can we reach the other side before dark?"
Marshal Tianpeng seemed a bit impatient at this time and said.
"It's hard to say. The weather has been abnormal lately. Sometimes it gets dark early, sometimes late. In any case, I will try my best to send you all to the other side before dark."
The old turtle raised its head, looked at Marshal Tianpeng, and said.
Tang Sanzang stood on the turtle shell, supported by Fahai's hand. Although the old turtle was swimming very steadily, there was inevitably some jolting in such waves.
Tang Sanzang looked forward with a worried expression. If they couldn't reach the other side before dark, such a great river would undoubtedly be very dangerous.
Such a turtle back was actually carrying five people and a horse, especially that White Dragon Horse, which stood incredibly steadily on such a bulging turtle back, without the slightest fear in its eyes.
Actually, thinking about it, it was not strange. The White Dragon Horse was the incarnation of the Dragon King's third prince, and it belonged to the Dragon Clan, so it was not afraid of water at all.
The old turtle's paddling speed was still very fast. As the saying goes, a turtle is slow on land but very fast in the water. After about an hour, the old turtle had already traveled about four hundred miles.
At this time, the five travelers to the West, along with the White Dragon Horse, arrived at the center of the Tongtian River. Only then did they see the vastness and magnificence of the Tongtian River, with white waves rolling on all sides and undercurrents surging. The scenery on both banks had turned into a gray blur, and one could not see clearly at all.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was already dark.
Fahai suddenly lowered his head to look at the old turtle and said, "Old Turtle, do I need to provide lighting for you?"
The old turtle gave a sheepish smile and said, "No need to trouble yourself. I have lived in this river for too long; I am more than familiar with the situation here!"
Fahai had been thinking of channeling the true qi in his hands to illuminate the road ahead, but after hearing what the old turtle said, he put down his hands.
At this time, the sky was as black as ink, and one could not see any scenery around. Only the 'swishing' sound of the flowing water rang in everyone's ears.
Fahai had been holding Tang Sanzang's arm without letting go. In such a situation, if Tang Sanzang were to lose his footing and fall into the river, it would be a very troublesome matter to save him.
"Whoosh—"
The cold wind began to howl, and the sound seemed particularly eerie.
"So cold!"
General Wujing crossed his hands, hugged his arms, and shivered.
Indeed, the problem facing them now was not only that it was dark, but it also looked like it could snow at any moment.
If it really snowed, this hour wouldn't be much for Sun Wukong and the others, but for Tang Sanzang, it would probably be very dangerous.
The temperature had clearly dropped extremely low. Within an hour, freezing a mortal to death would not be a difficult task at all.
Seeing that Tang Sanzang beside him was still shivering involuntarily, Fahai channeled his true qi in his palm and quietly infused it into Tang Sanzang's body.
Tang Sanzang immediately felt a warm current flowing into his body. He looked at Fahai with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Thank you, Master Fahai." ===== CHAPTER 1995 =====
