This river is the Sanzu River, the river that separates the realms of the living and the dead.
Everyone jumped onto the boat, which glided through the swift current, carrying them to the Other Shore.
The boat wasn't big, but it was more than enough for five people; there was plenty of room on board.
At this moment, everyone looked at Pei Yunfei, feeling extremely grateful to him.
Pei Yunfei is Divine System Ability User, and now he has gained special bonus effects, so he might really have a chance to clear the Instance.
They are of no help whatsoever in the Instance.
But Pei Yunfei still didn't mind them and was willing to take them along, even guaranteeing that they would leave the Instance safely.
Such a person is truly wonderful.
If they encountered other people, they would most likely not care about them and let them fend for themselves.
So, they were really lucky.
Wang An carefully walked to Pei Yunfei's side and said, "Brother Fei, thank you. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have been able to leave the Instance alive. We would have been lucky to even commit suicide."
Your kindness to us is as heavy as a mountain; you are practically our second parents.
"You flatter me, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment," Pei Yunfei said with a smile.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it. If I can leave the Instance safely, I'll even acknowledge you as my godfather."
Everyone else was speechless, looking at Wang An with disdain.
They're supposed to be high-level players, yet this blatant flattery is utterly shameless.
Moreover, Pei Yunfei is younger than him. It's one thing for him to call him "Brother Fei" all the time, but now he's even calling him "godfather." Will he have to call him "grandfather" soon?
Wang An, however, disregarded the opinions of others. He turned to the two women standing in the middle of the boat and said,
"You two, don't you have any sense of propriety? Come over here and give Brother Fei a shoulder massage."
Miao Qian and Yao Ting's expressions changed, and they stared at him with wide eyes, their gazes seeming to want to kill him.
They are Ability User, and they hold positions of status and influence in the outside world.
They really think they're just girls from a nightclub?
However, they didn't dare to do anything, since they were inside Instance.
"What are you all standing there for?" Wang An scolded when they didn't move.
The two women glanced at Pei Yunfei again, then carefully walked over, their hearts filled with hatred for Wang An.
However, they still walked over to Pei Yunfei's side, and the two of them stood on either side of him, giving him a clumsy massage.
After all, Pei Yunfei had said he would help them leave the Instance safely, and all he had to do was massage his shoulders, which wasn't something unacceptable.
At this moment, the current in front suddenly became rapid. Pei Yunfei looked at the group and gave them a heads-up.
"Hold on tight, don't fall off the boat."
"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Fei. I definitely won't fall into the water," Wang An said with a fawning expression.
Then he looked at the others and said, "You all better watch out, don't cause Fei-ge any trouble."
The three of them glared at Wang An, not really wanting to talk to him, but still replied, "Okay."
Now, they wanted nothing more than to tear this lackey to pieces.
The boat continued forward, and the river suddenly became clear, revealing many ghosts swimming beneath the surface.
However, the ghosts dared not approach the ship; they merely stared at them, seemingly waiting for them to fall into the water.
At this moment, the ship's draft suddenly increased, as if it could not bear the weight and was about to sink to the bottom.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. In fact, the Water Ghosts in the river were nothing to him, but this was no ordinary river.
Nothing could float on the river except for the boat they were in.
Even birds that try to fly across the river will fall to the bottom.
Once they fall in, it's almost impossible for them to get out of the water.
Even if they manage to escape, it will be after they have become dead.
Yao Ting asked anxiously, "What's going on? This situation wasn't mentioned in the guide."
Chen Tai also said, "This situation is indeed not mentioned in the strategy guide."
However, I've heard that if a person's sins are too great, the ship will sink to the bottom of the river. I wonder if that's true.
"Could there be someone among us who is deeply sinful?" Miao Qian asked.
Wang An immediately said, "You all know who has committed the most heinous crimes. Step forward quickly, or you'll implicate Brother Fei."
Everyone looked at him, their gazes like sharp swords, piercing countless holes in Wang An.
Yao Ting retorted, "Why do you say we're so sinful? Maybe it's you who's truly sinful!"
At this moment, the ship continued to sink. Then, Pei Yunfei spoke.
"Alright, stop arguing. That's definitely not the reason."
"That's certainly unlikely," Chen Tai also said.
"If that's the reason, it can't be that all the other players were good guys and we were the bad guys, right? That's impossible."
"What should we do then?" Miao Qian looked at Pei Yunfei, seeing his calm expression, hoping he could come up with a way to save everyone.
"Simple," Pei Yunfei said, then suddenly stood up from the boat and looked at the river.
At this moment, some river water had already seeped into the boat from the edge, and everyone was extremely anxious, but Pei Yunfei remained calm.
"Although I don't know what caused the ship to sink, with me here, you'll be fine."
Despite his statement, the ship did not stop sinking; more water rushed into the cabin, and the ship began to sink faster.
The boat was completely submerged, and their bodies were sinking rapidly as the river water quickly rose to their waists.
"Brother Fei, what should we do?" Wang An asked anxiously.
Pei Yunfei remained silent, but the boat continued to sink.
Soon, they were all submerged by the river, and countless Water Ghost ghosts surged towards them.
Seeing this, a sense of despair arose in everyone's hearts.
Although they are not afraid of the Water Ghosts, how will they survive underwater?
They've already fallen to the bottom of the river; they can never leave it again.
At this moment, Pei Yunfei suddenly unleashed a powerful force that enveloped each and every one of them.
At the same time, the river water churned, as if repelled by some force, and was rapidly moving away from them.
Soon, the water around them disappeared, and everyone was finally able to breathe.
At this moment, the river was rushing all around, but they still couldn't get close to them.
It was as if some force was blocking the river water.
Everyone looked at Pei Yunfei, their faces filled with disbelief.
They knew that this Divine System Ability User had saved them.
His strength was incredible; he easily parted the river waters.
This is the Sanzu River, which separates the realms of the living and the dead.
"Stay close to me," Pei Yunfei said. "Since the ship has sunk, we have no choice but to go ashore."
After Pei Yunfei finished speaking, he pointed ahead, and the river suddenly parted, revealing a path in the middle of the river.
A road leading to the other side.
Pei Yunfei led the way, with the others following closely behind.
When they looked at Pei Yunfei again, their eyes were full of admiration.
If they had some doubts before, now they completely believed that Pei Yunfei could guarantee their survival.
In this Instance, all they need to do is cling to this powerful figure.
