Chapter 1197 A Small Accident in the River

The channel of the Tutu River is not long, and it soon came near the mouth of the river. The people on board could clearly feel the speed of the water flow. Appeared in front of the eyes.

Although I have seen a lot of written records about the mother river of countless tribes on the edge of the wasteland, seeing this river with my own eyes, especially seeing this river for the first time, is quite shocking. .

The first is the width of this river. It is no exaggeration to say that with the sight range of ordinary people, it is difficult to see the opposite river bank even in the daytime. According to the normal speed of the boat, it may take at least four or five hours to cross this wide river. Oe River.

The second is the depth of this river. According to Leo's estimate, the deepest part of the Dajiao River is at least five kilometers above, and the depth of other places near the shore is about a few hundred meters. It is no exaggeration to say that if there is no river water , then the tribes on both sides will face an insurmountable abyss.

And according to the map, this bottomless river meanders along the edge of the wasteland. One section originates from the sacred mountain of the wasteland, which is said to be as high as a cloud, and no one can climb to the top. On the west side of the Sang Continent, in the distant sea known as the end of the world, it directly separates the Mosang Continent from the wasteland.

In the early colonial period, this river of abyss could be said to be the guarding wall of the wasteland tribes, and it was precisely because of the existence of this river that the colonists at that time stopped here and had no way to go deeper into the wasteland.

However, more people think that those colonists from other continents benefited more, because countless evidence can prove that no matter how many people go deep into the wilderness, they will just die. If people at that time insisted on building boats to cross the river and go deep into the wilderness , then those colonists may all die in the wasteland, and the originally unstable colony will collapse. In that case, the history of the world may also be rewritten.

Now the Dajiao River is still the final isolation line established by the Southern Tribal Alliance. The organizations and forces that the Southern Tribal Alliance communicates with the outside world are all on the north bank of the river, including the important tungsten mining city Badisha, the southern holy mountain, etc. If the river is lost, all civilizations will disappear, leaving only the most primitive and traditional tribes.

This approach is undoubtedly wise, because after hundreds of years of contact with the outside world, most tribes near the edge of the wilderness have become accustomed to various civilization products, even if they still try to maintain some cultural traditions, but It is very difficult to return to the life of primitive tribes in the past, so those tribes in the Southern Tribal Alliance who have become accustomed to the products of external civilizations were placed on the north bank of the Great Horn River, while those tribes who were willing to return to primitive life were placed in the The south bank, a very good solution to the southern tribal alliance disputes.

When the shuttle-shaped boats triggered by Sobans entered the Dajiao River one by one, the river channel that could provide safety also widened a lot, almost equal to the width of a Tutu River, and the boats also began to spread out. Enough room for them to sail.

Even so, most shuttle-shaped boats still choose to sail in rivers close to the shore, even if they need to avoid some trees extending from the shore from time to time, only Leo's boat is slightly larger and has rich sailing experience Ships will choose to sail farther from the shore.

After entering the Dajiao River, Leo tried to use the spirit net to quickly perceive the underwater situation. He found that the underwater situation of the Dajiao River was much more lively than the previous Tutu River. He thought that a mutant monster was happening in the depths of the water. A three-way melee between ordinary aquatic creatures led by , Tatum's heirs, and extraordinary creatures.

At this time, the son of Tatum is no longer in the shape of aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the water, but entangled with each other, forming an object similar to those mutant monsters, which can be hundreds of meters underwater to more than two thousand The mutated monsters in the area of ​​1.5 meters fought in melee and devoured each other.

Because the two are so similar, even the energy fluctuations emitted are very similar, so that it is difficult for Leo to tell who is who in the melee.

And the bottom of the water below two thousand meters is the habitat of a large number of aquatic creatures native to the Dajiao River. Among them are an astonishing number of supernatural creatures. Only the area that Leo scanned with the mental net just now has scanned no less than fifty. Only extraordinary creatures, this is the water area around 2000 meters, and there are at least a few kilometers of waters below that should be inhabited by more aquatic creatures and extraordinary creatures.

"It's the same as the Black Forest!" Leo couldn't help sighing, indeed, the last time he saw such a large group of extraordinary creatures appeared was in the Black Forest.

"What?" Sylvia, who was sitting on the side, didn't hear Leo's words clearly, and looked over suspiciously.

Leo explained the current situation at the bottom of the water, and also mentioned that the aquatic and extraordinary creatures at the bottom seem to be feeding on the mutated monsters and sons of Tatum who have sunk to the bottom due to injuries or other reasons. It is a mutated monster and the son of Tatum who are not injured or dead. If they enter the area below 2,000 meters, they will be besieged by countless aquatic creatures. , join hands to solve the intruders, and then eat them.

Although it was not the first time Sylvia had seen the Great Horn River, and had lived in a tribe near the Great Horn River for a period of time, it was the first time she had heard of the situation in the depths of the Great Horn River. In fact, not only Sylvia Via heard it for the first time, and even the captain of the shuttle boat not far away heard the situation in the water for the first time.

Although the Dajiao River is the mother river of the tribes on the edge of the wasteland, what is interesting is that except for the rich aquatic products in the upper and lower reaches of the Dajiao River, as well as the surrounding branch rivers, there is no fish in any other river sections. For a long time, the tribes on both banks Most people think that the Big Horn River has no fish.

There were also some daring tribal people who tried to dive into the water to see what was going on in the deep water of the Big Horn River. As a result, none of those people who dived into the water finally came up from the water. A shaman guarded by a powerful wild god.

So for a long time, various legends about the bottom of the Dajiao River have been repeatedly circulated among various tribes in the wasteland. Among them, the two most widely circulated legends are that the bottom of the Dajiao River is the eternal place mentioned in shamanism transactions. They all entered the eternal land and enjoyed eternal joy. This legend led to the suicide of drowning in the river as the preferred method of suicide for those desperate people in the tribe.

Another legend is that there is a big snake sleeping at the bottom of the Dajiao River. This big snake has been sleeping at the bottom of the river since before the world appeared. Once it wakes up, it means that the world will come to an end, and all creatures that dive into it will be asleep by it. The water flow produced by natural breathing is sucked into its large mouth and eaten by it.

This legend has led to the warriors of various tribes diving into the bottom of the Dajiao River as the last great cause of their lives.

Because of all the legends about the Dajiao River including these two legends, water burial has become one of the most important burial ceremonies of the tribe.

Now the captain was surprised when Leo mentioned the situation at the bottom of the Great Horn River, but soon thought that Leo was talking nonsense, but then he would think of the process of Leo capturing Tatum's son, and he felt What a capable person like Leo said may be true.

It's just that when he wanted to hear more, Leo stopped talking about the situation at the bottom of the Dajiao River, which made him feel uncomfortable being hung in the air.

However, he didn't dare to ask too much, because the process of capturing the sons of Tatum had already shown how powerful he was, and this kind of powerful person was not something ordinary people like him could offend.

When the captain was thinking about the bottom of the Dajiao River, Leo suddenly turned his head and reminded him: "If I were you, it's better to bring the boat closer to the shore."

After hearing the reminder, the captain immediately turned his head to look at the stone lamp, but he didn't see any warning from the flame of the stone lamp, so he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, but he didn't stubbornly walk the current waterway, but He obeyed Leo's suggestion and directed the helmsman to shift the waterway and start approaching the shore.

Many people in the shuttle boats that followed knew the captain and knew that the captain was an old sailor, so they were a little puzzled by the sudden change of the waterway of the shuttle boat. It is more convenient, and the stone lamp does not show that there is any danger approaching.

It's just that some people still think that the captain's experience is more reliable even if they don't find the danger. They choose to imitate the captain and steer the boat to a waterway closer to the river bank.

However, the vast majority of fusiform ships still chose to sail in the original spacious waterways.

After all the ships sailed for a certain distance, suddenly all the stone lanterns on the shuttle boats sailing away from the shore burst into intense flames without exception, and then went out instantly.

Before the people on the boat came back to their senses, countless mutated monsters and the son of Tatum came out of the water and covered the entire water area.

Although these mutated monsters and the son of Tatum did not target ships on the river, these ships were inevitably affected. Ships broke under various attacks, and the people on board fell into the water. Those who did not fall into the water would also be swept away by tentacles that suddenly appeared from nowhere, and disappeared into the pitch-black water. The screams and screams spread throughout the entire river in an instant, making those who stayed on the bank safe. People in the zone also feel infinite fear.

"My God! It's the Taut family's fleet, they're all sunk!"

"There is also the boat of Long Song in the Forest. He is the heir to the chief of the Didisa tribe. Who will become the chief if he dies!"

Those fusiform boats that were temporarily safe lost the courage to continue sailing. They docked the boats one after another, and looked at the water. Then, under the faint moonlight, they saw the situation of some boats clearly, and let out exclamations one after another. .

The shuttle boat that Leo was on did not dock, because Leo did not indicate danger, so he continued to sail forward, but at this time the captain's mentality changed a little, he looked at the stone lamp, then at Leo , and then looked at the chaotic waters in the distance with lingering fear.

On the boat, the other sailors also had the same mentality change as the captain. They heard Leo's reminder to the captain just now. They didn't care about Leo's words, and even thought the captain was too timid, because A reminder from a stranger would change the sailing waterway of the ship, but now they don't want it so much, even if Leo asked them to drive the ship to the middle of the Big Horn River, I'm afraid they would do so, even if they still had some doubts in their hearts. suspected.

However, the subsequent course proved that what happened just now was just an accident. They sailed very smoothly. They did not encounter any sudden attacks on the road, or were involved in some underwater undercurrent, and even the flame on the stone lamp did not Unusual shaking occurs again.

After sailing along the river for about seven or eight hours, the destination of the voyage, Badisha, was already visible to the naked eye.

Compared with Sobanth's wharf, Badisha's river wharf is obviously much smaller. Except for the cargo ships from Sobanth and other cities, the main function of Badisha Wharf is to provide fishermen with a resting port, so The port is completely built as a small fishing port.

In the past, fishermen were still able to catch fish in the various tributaries of the Big Horn River, but after the fog disaster, mutated monsters appeared on the bottom of the water, and fishing in the rivers became unsafe, and the number of sons of Tatum also increased. Fishing has also become more dangerous. Except for a few large tribes who have the ability to clean the river regularly, other small tribes who rely on fishing for a living have given up their livelihood and chose to move to other places to live, Buddy Sarah is one of them.

Badisa is a tribal city under the control of the Silver Moon Tribe. The people who built this city were not from the Silver Moon Tribe or from the Mosang Continent, but the colonists of the Maris Kingdom on the Minsk Continent. After coming here with the colonial army, they discovered a large amount of tungsten mines here, and then built a city here specially for mining.

At first, they wanted to rely on waterways to transport the ore they dug out. However, they were not familiar with the waterway conditions here, and the tribal shaman controlled a large number of creatures in the water to attack the ore transport fleet, which made the mine owner at that time The loss was heavy, so the mine owner did not develop the waterway, but instead took the land route and built a railway to transport the ore to the outside world.

This railway leads to the road that used to be called the Golden Road, later called the Road of Corpses, and is now called the Road of the Two Sacred Mountains. That road is the only one that runs through the entire wasteland. Kata City is on the edge of the Great Horn River, and the other end is the Wind City of the Northern Tribal Alliance. Now almost all items related to the wasteland in the Mosang Continent need to be transported by this road.
