Chapter 788 Clear Cliff
Alliance 201, January 21, morning.
Eminem took Xiao Ai, Tomoyo, and Sakura away from Manjin City and embarked on the journey again.
Four people rode "motorcycle lizards" in twos. As soon as they left Manjin City, they entered the forest path and then headed south...
The forest in the western part of the Manjin Peninsula is called the "oak forest". As the name suggests, it is a large forest dominated by Quercus species.
There are more specific divisions, such as the "Forest of Confusion", etc., and there are several small towns, villages, and famous natural landscapes including "Super Town".
The destination of the four of them at this time is the "Clear Cliff" in the middle of the forest.
If ordinary trainers set out from Manjin City, it would be difficult to reach "Clear Cliff" in one day. Even some trainers with high-speed riding Pokémon usually have to arrive the next day.
but……
"Motor Lizard" is obviously not a "normal riding Pokémon"!
It is very suitable for running on various surfaces. The more complex the surface, the greater its advantages. Even in quagmire and forest paths covered with tree roots, the "Motor Lizard" can still run like flying.
When we saw "Clear Cliff", the sky was still bright...
At this time, the four of Amu also came to a relatively high position. From here, they could see, surrounded by the forest, a huge rock pillar rising like a sky pillar. It was visually estimated that there were thousands of Meters high - this drop is extremely high even in a "mountain".
And it is not a mountain range, it is even very different from ordinary mountain peaks.
It seems to rise suddenly from the ground, without any remaining momentum, and the top and bottom are basically the same width, just like a pillar, or a wooden stake...
Needless to say, there is obviously no such terrain in a normal natural environment, and its cause should be caused by external forces...or to put it bluntly, it is affected by some kind of mythical beast!
With a telescope, you can see that there are many small trickles or large waterfalls flowing down around the "Clear Cliff" - this is why it is called "[Clear] Cliff".
The water flowing down from above forms small and large streams, which are called "Qingcheng River". It can be said that this "Qingqing Cliff" is the water source of the entire oak forest.
"It's so beautiful... just like... um... like a big wooden barrel with a leak at the top! Hahaha... uh." After Sakura forced the metaphor, Tomoyo rolled her eyes.
This is the result of not having culture...
"But Qingcheng Cliff is really magical. There is water flowing down all the time." Amu said half-interrupted and half-moved.
Generally speaking, if the source of a river is in a mountain, it is usually a mountain covered with ice and snow. At first, it is just a trickle. As the ice and snow melt and other water sources merge, it gradually becomes a large river... There is usually little water at the source. .
"Clear Cliff" is different. It is like a big clepsydra, watering the entire forest - its source, the water source, seems to be inexhaustible!
"It is said that the top 60% of the area is a huge lake. The water from the lake will flow out along the underground waterways. This is what you see." Tomoyo said at this time.
For this high "clear cliff", it is an "underground waterway". In fact, relative to the ground, it flows down from a high place.
Although it looks like a pillar in height, it actually covers a large area, covering twenty or thirty square kilometers.
But even so, it is impossible to have so much water - there are large or small streams of water flowing everywhere this week on Qingcheng Cliff!
Tomoyo paused and then said: "It is true that the amount of water flowing out is far more than the precipitation, so...experts speculate that there should be some special water circulation system here that can pump groundwater up."
Needless to say, such an abnormal water source system must be related to Pokémon and mythical beasts...
However, experts can only "speculate" because the Pokémon on "Clear Cliff" are very sensitive. It would be better if a small number of trainers without the help of machinery go up, otherwise it will attract a large number of wild Pokémon above. of hostility!
This is not a question of strength, but according to the league's regulations. In this case, scientific research cannot be forced, and generally no trainer will cooperate with this kind of scientific research - unless it is a bad organization such as a certain Arrow team.
Therefore, there are many "unsolved mysteries" in this world, even within the scope of the alliance.
"Let's go, we should be able to get down there before dark." Ammu said after looking at it for a while.
"Clear Cliff" is difficult to climb, and new trainers generally do not challenge it. However, there is a centralized camping place under "Clear Cliff" - that is, the place where travel trainers have a group camping.
Wangshan is a dead horse, but in fact it is still far away from Qingqing Cliff.
Of course, if you can outrun a horse, you can't outrun a motorcycle lizard...
Because the "Motor Lizard" was fast enough, not only did Eminem and others arrive at the camping area under Qingcheng Cliff on the first day, but the sunset was still all over the sky.
Like other camping areas, there are Pokémon service points opened by the Joey family, as well as some wooden cabin shops, but there are only five or six groups of trainers here at this time.
After all, this place is already a bit too "wild" for new trainers - most of the traveling trainers are new trainers, because more than 90% of new trainers will enter other industries in the future and continue to work in Pokmon. Only 10% work in dream-related industries, and even fewer become professional trainers.
Because even if they cannot become professional trainers, many "young people" will travel for a year, or even two or three years. It is not that they trained to travel when they were young and will become professional trainers in the future.
Even the second largest number of traveling trainers are not young trainers or professional trainers, but middle-aged and elderly people - after retirement or early retirement, many people will set off again to fulfill the regrets of their youth.
"The water is indeed so clear, no wonder it's called the Clear River." Sakura had already stepped on the water with bare feet.
"Yes, it is said that the rice cooked with water from the Chingcheong River will be extra sweet...so I'll have curry rice tonight." Tomoyo said, naturally handing the bucket to Eminem.
Eminem took it instinctively, and then... looked at Sakura who was treading water, and made a confused sound: "Huh? Isn't it good?"
"I want you to catch the water flowing down from above..." Tomoyo reminded.
"Oh." Amu suddenly turned around and went to Qingqing Cliff.
Dinner was just ordinary curry, but as Tomoyo said, the spring water of the "Chingchu River", especially the water from the source, is indeed particularly sweet.
Generally speaking, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, but Mu can feel that this clear spring water is also full of the breath of life. There are definitely many fish and insect Pokémon living here...
