Chapter 645: The Edge of the Continent
When the sky was slightly bright, the morning sun in the east tried to rise upward, illuminating the whole earth with its own light. Red, white, blue, different light and shadow change back and forth in the sky, forming a great visual spectacle.
It is a rare thing to have such magnificent clouds appear in the early morning.
The Qiangmu boat sailed on the river for nearly half an hour, Xu Ning sat on the side of the boat drinking a jar of old wine, and the cabin was already full of all kinds of food and supplies, which was really not worth mentioning for Xu Ning, a benefactor who saved the Jiangxia tribe.
But for Xu Ning, his biggest gain was not to get supplies to move on, but to gain Xialon.
At this moment, Xia Long stood on the mast, looking in the direction of Jiangxia City, which had already left far away.
Xu Ning's thoughts went back to last night.
It was already almost early in the morning, and Xia Que slowly came to his senses, Xu Ning and Xia Long were already directing some people to move things to their cabins. Seeing Xia Que wake up, the two walked over together.
Sending away the subordinates who took care of Xia Que, Xu Ning's expression was very strict, but there was no malicious intent.
However, summer is still very tense! Because he found that although he could open his mouth, he could not make a sound.
"Great Elder, you can't speak now, you just need to listen to me." Xu Ning said coldly, and took out a white scroll from his arms.
"Woo!" Xia Que shook his head desperately, but his tongue seemed to be knotted, and he couldn't say a word.
"During the time you passed out. I have asked the five ghosts of Jiangxia to help, and I have arranged an enchantment outside the entire city, and this enchantment will not be able to break through even if the gods descend to earth within three months! Of course, the premise is to sacrifice with the blood of the five animals at the time of the day, and you must not be lazy! Because this seal is shrouded by death, after three months, the barrier will disappear automatically, and then for a year, it will continue to be sacrificed with five animals. In this scroll, it is written how to reproduce livestock quickly. You can catch wild cattle and horses from the wilderness and tame them. ”
Summer's eyes widened. I don't know what Xu Ning wants to do.
Xu Ning stuffed the scroll into Xia Que's arms and continued: "What you did to me is not so easy to forgive, but what I am going to do now is more urgent. In order to get to the destination quickly. I needed a companion who was familiar with the situation on the water. Xu Ning said. Glanced at Sharon.
Xia Long stood to the side, looking at Xia Que with a complicated look, when the eyes of the two met. He involuntarily moved away first. Xia Que looked at him a little incredulously, as if he didn't believe it!
"Great Elder, this is the end of the matter, we should have been back in three months, so during this time, as long as you pay attention, there will be no danger." Xu Ning stood up and walked towards the riverbank without looking back.
He was no longer interested in looking at Xia Que more, Xia Long turned to leave, but couldn't help but turn around and said, "Great Elder, uncle, I want to go on an adventure with Brother Xu Ning, perhaps, I can harvest more important things." ”
Xia Que's heart was bitter, and although no one blamed him, he closed his eyes and said goodbye in this silent way.
"It's a long way, are you going to stand on it and not come down?" Xu Ning raised his head and shouted.
Xia Long turned over and jumped down from the mast, and sat in front of Xu Ning with a little hesitation on his face.
"Why, if you want to go back, I will never stop you." Xu Ning said with a smile.
"Of course I don't want to go back, it's just that I've never left the Jiangxia tribe, and now I feel a little uncomfortable."
"People are like this, after staying in the familiar environment and people for a long time, they will become dependent, their own independence will be weakened, and when they encounter difficulties, they will naturally think of relying on others. If you don't want to be that kind of trash, this is a great workout. Xu Ning said with a smile.
"Brother Xu Ning, are you often alone?"
"Quite the opposite." Xu Ning put down the wine jar and said with a smile, "I've been to many places, and every time I have a companion, aren't you my companion now?" ”
Xia Long smiled, smiled happily, and the melancholy look on his face was swept away.
"Then again, the waterway is a lot longer than I thought." Xu Ning looked at the scenery on both sides and said.
The Jiangxia tribe already belonged to the downstream of this continent, and as they continued to sail forward, the two of them had entered a completely unfamiliar water. Xu Ning became more and more uncomfortable, because his Qiangmu boat was getting smaller and smaller on the water, and it looked like a leaf. Sharon didn't feel like this, and it seemed pleasant to stand on the bow of the boat.
"Brother Xu Ning, this is nothing, now we haven't even gone out of the inland river."
"No, it won't!" Xu Ning couldn't believe his ears, looking at it, the water and the sky were connected, and this place was much bigger than any water surface he had ever seen!
"I can't be mistaken." Standing on the side of the boat, Sharon glanced at the water and said, "The water is very muddy and has green duckweed, and it will take at least a day for us to leave the inland river." ”
Xu Ning suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xia Long, are you very familiar with the waterways of the entire Soul Continent?" ”
Xia Long smiled and said, "I can't say I understand, but after all, we are people from the Land of Water, and we know a little bit about it." ”
Xu Ning nodded and asked, "Can you tell me about it, to be honest, although I have a map, the boat won't go by itself." ”
"Of course that's fine, all I know must be endless."
Seeing that it was close to noon, the sun above his head became more and more intense, and the Qiang wooden boat was like a vegetable leaf floating on top of a large bowl of soup, slowly and leisurely moving forward. Xu Ning and Xia Long both hid in the cabin, talking while covering the sun.
"Having said that, Brother Xu Ning, your Qiang wooden ship is really well built, it is both strong and stable, and the space inside is not small, it is really a masterpiece of skilled craftsmen!" Sharon exclaimed as his hand caressed the hull of the boat.
Xu Ning smiled slightly, thinking to himself, that is natural, in charge of the entire Soul Continent, there is no craftsman in that empire who can compare to the dwarven tribes of the Pamir Plateau.
"This is a friend who helped build it, by the way, tell me about the water system."
Sharon scratched his head and said to himself, "Where to start?" Let's talk about it from the waterway you came. ”
The area of the entire Soul Continent is like the shape of a coconut, and the edges are not very regular, and these irregular places are thousands of river tributaries. The source of the river water all comes from the high mountains within the soul continent, except for the death rainforest of the Zhongzhou Empire. The waterway on the day Xu Ning came was formed by the alluvial snow water that melted directly from the snowy peaks of the Pamir Plateau, although the glacial meltwater looks small at the source, but when it is collected little by little, it will have a very shocking effect. Although the waterway that Xu Ning passed through was a branch vein, if nothing else, it could also send him to the mouth of the sea in one go.
"There are a total of five estuaries on the Soul Continent, but only two can enter, and if you don't get ready, you will probably never return."
"Oh, is the entrance to the sea dangerous?"
"It's not the danger of entering the sea, it's what happens after entering the sea." "Actually, I haven't really walked into the estuary, but in the legends of my predecessors, all the estuaries hide monsters, and even if you can avoid monsters, you will encounter things like getting lost." The estuary is also a relatively long waterway, and that section is very special, there is no food, and even water cannot be drunk. ”
Xu Ning nodded, secretly saying in his heart that he was lucky, if he hadn't brought Xia Long, he might not have been able to go to the sea and hang up.
No matter what you are capable of, you can't stop eating or drinking!
"We call the internal empire the Soul Empire, and your people call us the Elemental Empire, the reason why it is so divided, in fact, is just customarily called, what really separates the inside and outside is the winding waterways around the Soul Continent." Sharon said seriously.
"Originally, I didn't think there would be anything in the future, but now I imagine that this is true, in such an environment, let alone fighting, there are not enough people to drown."
"So very few people want to go to the sea. Brother Xu Ning, although I don't know what your purpose is, please believe me, it's better to say in advance what you want to do. Sharon said unabashedly.
Xu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "I really should have sued you in advance, the reason why I didn't say it was because I didn't trust you, but because I didn't know what to say." In short, the actual maturity is natural, and I will let you know. ”
"I understand this, and I also want to look at the outside world now, maybe I can find a way to save the clan." Sharon said word by word. (To be continued......)
