Chapter 40: The Long River Forest

The long river has arrived.

- The long river has finally arrived! I exhaled, raised my head, and looked into the distance, only to see that I was no longer greeted by the endless mountain roads, but the endless rivers and large stretches of sandy beaches.

β€”β€”It's worth it these days!

The autumn breeze was blowing on our faces, and the temperature here was colder than usual. The long river sits in front of us, long and wide, with no end in sight. On the other side of the river is a white blue shadow, like a mountain and a village house. The river is a sandy beach that has been beaten by the river for many years, and the sand is very moist with moisture.

This is the long river.

Looking down, I tapped the quincunx watch on my wrist and stared uncertainly at my task prompt:

Advanced Tasks:

In order to repay the money, the long boss orders you to go to the long river to catch three turkey chickens, the time limit is one month, and the task fails: listen to the boss Hou Chang.

"This is the long river? We're finally here! "β€”Turkey Chicken, Turkey Chicken, where are you? I looked expectantly left and right, but I couldn't see anything else, and I couldn't help but ask, "Where's the turkey chicken?" There is only a sandy beach, no forest, nothing! ”

"I didn't see it either." Nameless rubbed his eyes again, for fear that he would lose his eyes and miss the figure of the fire cloud chicken.

"Yes! Where did the turkey go? "Pure Tianya hilariously probed his brain, like a monkey looking around.

"I don't think 'chickens' are going to walk by the river." The talented and beautiful woman blackened her face.

"It's true that the real 'chicken' can't swim, and it is impossible to run around on his own, and run to the river without a clue." Luo Yan glanced at the talented and beautiful woman, as if mocking with a pun.

The talented and beautiful woman said angrily: "Luo Yan, you have itchy skin, right?" ”

Luo Yan defended aggrievedly: "I didn't say you were a 'chicken'!" ”

"I didn't scold you for calling me a 'chicken'! I'm just upset about the chickens - if the real 'chickens' understand human language and are laughed at by you, the 'falling goose', it will be fun! The talented and beautiful woman sneered, "If it weren't for our assistance in high-level tasks, I would have dialed your kid's skinβ€”I don't know if the 'falling goose' who dials the skin is not as good as a chicken?" ”

Luo Yan's identity as a man is no longer a hot topic in the team, and although he is still helping as a woman, the talented and beautiful woman is even more disgusted with her. The two of them drooled more intensely than before.

"You ......" Luo Yan turned blue with anger and almost showed off his weapon.

The talented and beautiful woman snorted lightly, shook her head, and ignored it coolly.

This dispute ended in a subtle victory for the talented and beautiful woman.

I, Nameless, and Pure Tianya have become accustomed to their scolding and fighting for no reason, and have learned to calmly treat their contradictions as jokes, and no one really takes their hatred to heart - indeed, the main contradiction between the two of them is the fact that the talented and beautiful woman misunderstands that Luo Yan is a beautiful woman, and Luo Yan is actually a handsome guy.

- It's just a small thing, why be so angry?

Looking at the talented and beautiful women and the wild goose in the cold war, Nameless and Pure Tianya shrugged their shoulders, no longer as frightened as they were at the beginning, and I set my eyes on the strange one.

The strange one understood my eyes, took a step forward with interest, looked at the vista for a long time, and said: "Don't be anxious first, when the sun comes out, you can see a strange scene, and there will be a fire cloud chicken in that scene!" ”

- Bizarre scenes?

- I see?

We looked at each other, our eyes wide open, and waited patiently for the sun to appear.

The view of the sunrise is so beautiful.

The sky is getting brighter, the chill of the autumn wind is slightly reduced, and the sun is gradually rising from the river, and it looks like it has come out of the river. The fiery red ball reflected the sky and the water red, and the water surface was sparkling red, and many white clouds turned into red clouds, and the red clouds were piled up into clouds, and the clouds looked thick and large, and they were stacked on top of each other, like mountains.

"It's beautiful!" I couldn't help but sigh. Nameless and they all laughed in unison, except for the strange expression, staring intently at the sunrise. Suddenly, the strange eyebrows relaxed, pointed forward, and shouted:

"It's out!"

As far as we could see, the surface of the river was slowly frozen at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and the clear water was filled with earth from nowhere, and then a forest with no end in sight suddenly appeared in front of us.

The forest was so lush that the trees exposed were so thick and impenetrable that it was impossible to see inside. At the same time, as if they had received some information, the birds sprang out of the forest in unison, flapped their wings and flew towards the surrounding peaks, and in a few moments disappeared without a trace.

The flock of birds was varied: parrots and chickadees; There are seagulls, and there are woodpeckers...... They come in all sizes, there are too many species to count, and they are not the usual birds in this area.

The talented and beautiful woman's eyes were straight, and she murmured, "Look at what I saw: five sparrows! That's the most common bird in the United States; White-billed loon, a species endemic to eastern China! There are polarly different species in this forest......"

The appearance of the vast forest made us completely stunned.

I rubbed my eyes, thinking I was dazzled, but after rubbing them, they were still alive, and it was clear that it was true.

"What's going on? Where has the long river gone? Pure Tianya was the first to speak, and he couldn't believe the strange scream, "This is not a mirage?" I didn't dream, did I? ”

"Impossible! It's autumn, what's the mirage? I calmly refuted the view of pure Tianya, and looked at the strange one in a daze, also confused.

Nameless, Talented and Beautiful, and Luo Yan glared at Strange One solemnly, asking him for a solution with inquiring eyes.

Wei Yi scratched his head, spread his hands, and laboriously explained: "This place is different from other places, it seems that 'spatial transfer' can be carried out!" Space transfer knows, right? Just like the 'Flying Charm' and the 'Memory Charm', you can freely carry out 'space-time transportation' - 'teleporting' from one place to another! It's just that this river can carry larger objects, such as forests...... Don't ask me why, I don't know! All in all, when the sun rises, there is a strange phenomenon here: sometimes the area around the river turns into a desert, sometimes into a forest, once a month! You think it's a mirage? ”

The corners of my mouth twitched: What kind of answer is this?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but let go of their doubts.

The talented woman smiled: "Anyway, we can go into this forest, and the mission goal is there, right?" ”

Nameless looked at the strange one, and the strange one nodded hesitantly.

Luo Yan glanced at his eyes and asked curiously: "Since this forest appeared suddenly, when will it disappear?" ”

Strange thought for a while, and replied: "When there is a desert or forest in a month, the time for each stay is one day. ”

Luo Yan said vigilantly: "So, we only have one day's work? ”

"Seems like so." Blame nodded.

"We stay in the forest, if we don't come out in time, what will happen when the forest is gone?" Seeing that my teammates looked like they wanted to take risks, I actively asked questions, taking the opportunity to ask all the unstable factors.

My teammates were awakened by me, stopped, and turned neatly to the strange one. Monster blinked and coughed, "Well, I'm afraid I'll be teleported to a strange place, right?" I haven't tried it, and I don't know. ”

"So...... Will the mission go smoothly? Didn't someone say that there would be a 'foreign group' to rob us? Isn't that going to snatch the turkey from us? "I was reminded of Hechnogo's early warning.

- Snatch? I was so blunt that I was so shocked that Nameless and Strange turned white.

Chun Tianya clenched his fists and said: "If they dare to come, I will pull the fire!" Forgive them and don't dare to rob them! ”

Luo Yan glanced at Chun Tianya and snorted coldly: "Before you pulled the fire, I would have already eliminated them all!" ”

The talented and beautiful woman frowned, took out the brown palm-sized repair axe from the package, first knocked on her high-necked black robe, and then handed it to us in turn, and quickly stroked: "Repair all the equipment and the like!" ”

We took turns tapping our gear a few times with the Axe of Repair, repairing the damage that had been going on for days.

When it was Nameless's turn to fix his thick coat, I was surprised to see his hands trembling slightly, presumably humbled again - Nameless was worried that he would be a drag on the team! I sighed softly, regretting that I shouldn't have said that. patting Nameless on the back, I teased him:

"Why are you shivering? It's cold? ”

"Huh? Yes? Nameless was startled, and almost lost the repair axe in his hand. He blushed, knocked his coat indiscriminately, hurriedly returned it to the talented and beautiful woman, and stammered in denial, "It's not cold! ”

"Not cold? So what are you shaking? I looked at him with an eyebrow.

Nameless Zhiwu said: "I'm afraid...... I'm afraid it's going to hurt you! ”

"β€”Sure enough!" I beat his chest with tears and laughter, and pouted at the talented and beautiful women, "What do you have to worry about?" If you really have to worry, I can only worry! If you look at everyone's personal medals, only I am a digital rank! I'm not worried, but what are you worried about? Don't you want to complete advanced tasks? If you're worried, you might as well give up the advanced mission! ”

"Nope! I don't want to! Nameless blurted out. After saying that, he slapped himself in the head in annoyance.

I hurriedly stopped him and admonished him well: "If you don't want to, why hit yourself?" Now we are a whole, a team, don't think about those who don't have, do a good job of high-level tasks! You see, they dislike you? If I really dislike you, it's never too late for you to quit! ”

"I'm sorry! I got it! I won't do this again! Nameless was said by me with a big red face, and hung his head in shame, like a child who made a mistake, "Xiaojing, thank you...... It's good to know you! ......" Finally, he hummed and smuggled.

Strange one smiled inexplicably, and his face turned bloody.

When I mentioned Nameless, they were all silent, and it wasn't until Nameless confessed that he took the initiative to speak - he asked us to check the necessities in our respective packages, and concluded: "All in all, we have enough daily necessities for three days!" The time limit to get to the mission is one day, so we can't afford to waste time! Once you're in the forest, don't spread out to avoid danger! He sighed in a low voice:

"It's a wonderful river, I really haven't been there!"

We nodded quietly, staring at the unspeakably large forest, and slowly stepped forward. However, we had barely moved a few steps when there was a commotion behind us.
