"Ah~"

Fleeting screams emanated from the bone hands as both disintegrated into bone powder and sank to the riverbed.

Xiao Mu focused on steering the small boat forward, paying no attention to the white skeleton hands reaching out from the riverbed and leaving them to Elder Zun and Huang Yuan to deal with.

More and more bone hands stretched out from the riverbed, beginning with one, then multiplying to two, followed swiftly by four, then eight.

Elder Zun and Huang Yuan exerted their full strength, continuously deploying their divine power to crush these bone hands into pieces and make them sink into the riverbed.

"These are the manifestations of the wills of Yin Spirits that sank into the riverbed. A single bone hand is not just one person but a group of people, the aggregated wills of countless individuals."

"These wills of Yin Spirits are attracted by the Spirit Tablets of Divine Spirits on us. Their goal is to drag us into the water to seize the Spirit Tablets from us."

"With a Spirit Tablet, they can become Divine Spirits and leave this river."

As Elder Zun destroyed the bone hands emerging from the riverbed, he used telepathy to explain the motives of the Yin Spirits to Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu listened attentively, focusing on guiding the small boat.

There was a disturbance to the right front. Xiao Mu instinctively looked over.

A golden bone hand slowly extended from beneath the water, starting with a palm, then an arm appeared, followed by a shoulder and a torso.

A headless Golden Skeleton Man slowly rose from the Blackwater River. He was tall, standing over three meters high, and moved rapidly, wading through the water towards the small boat where Xiao Mu and his companions were.

"MD! How can there be such a thing?"

Elder Zun suddenly cursed through telepathy.

Huang Yuan's tone became more serious as he immediately responded, "Move quickly!"

Both men struck the water with an open palm, dramatically increasing the small boat's speed as it sped away.

"Ao~"

The Golden Skeleton Man suddenly stopped, emitting a muffled howl from within its body.

One by one, white skeleton hands appeared in front, starting to intercept the small boat.

"Bad news!"

Elder Zun's face shifted slightly.

There were too many white skeleton hands appearing in front; at least hundreds, if not thousands.

So many skeleton hands presented a difficult challenge, enough to change Elder Zun's complexion.

"Charge through!"

Huang Yuan said in a low voice through telepathy.

"That's the only way."

Elder Zun replied, calling out to Xiao Mu, "Xiao Mu, give it your all."

"Got it!"

Xiao Mu responded with telepathy.

All three struck the water at once, channeling their power into each palm smacking the water's surface.

By now, the three had completely stopped caring whether the force of their strikes on the water would alarm the Yin Spirits below.

There were already so many Yin Spirits in front of them that there was no point in worrying about a few more.

The small boat shot through the water like an arrow, racing forward.

Hum!

Elder Zun, Huang Yuan, and even Xiao Mu all unleashed their divine power at once, oppressing the white skeleton hands in front.

"Ah..."

Continual wails rose as one white skeleton hand after another shattered to pieces.

However, these skeleton hands seemed utterly fearless of death; as soon as one perished, another immediately took its place to block the small boat in front.

The speed of Xiao Mu and his companions' boating was instantly limited.

"Ao~"

The headless Golden Skeleton Man pursuing form the right rear suddenly howled skywards, grabbing a rib from its cage and with a mournful cry, a rib was in its hand.

The moment the rib was pulled free, it transformed into a Golden Bone Spear.

Whoosh!

The headless Golden Skeleton Man bent at the waist, and the Golden Bone Spear, releasing a dazzling golden light, shot towards Xiao Mu and his companions like a golden arrow.

Huang Yuan reached out to intercept it, but the Golden Bone Spear took an eerie turn and exploded right in front of the small boat with a roaring sound, creating a massive shockwave.

The boat's speed was immediately affected, nearly capsizing as the headless Golden Skeleton Man quickly closed the gap, virtually upon them in moments.

It raised its golden arms high and violently slammed down towards the three sitting in the small boat.
