Chu Xisheng's reasoning was solid.
As outsiders in the Heluo region, unfamiliar with the local territory, there was no way for the pair to shake off the assassins from the Killing Tower.
Since they were inevitably going to be caught up to, they might as well make a desperate stand on the river.
They hadn't given up on leveraging the Heluo Fish Zombie, a strong arm to their cause, by taking to the roads instead.
Moreover, as Chu Xisheng was controlling the zombie with a token, once he moved beyond three hundred li, the Heluo Fish Zombie would break free from his control.
Qianqian Ji had no words to counter this.
After all, she couldn't very well admit that she was a dignitary of the Heavenly Jinyi Guards Qianhu, and if Chu Xisheng were willing to leave the exposed river surface and enter more complex terrain, she could utilize her own experts to take care of these assassins from the Killing Tower.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xisheng's pupils tightened as he glanced back.
