After setting up and giving relevant tasks to the NPC mercenaries, Ji Long didn't stay at the bow of the ship for long, returned to the cockpit, and sat and chatted with Du Yongwang while monitoring the overall situation.

The speed of the machine boat is very good, and it can maintain a speed of 50 kilometers per hour when going upstream, which is worthy of a ship that uses the machine technique as a power source, and is by no means comparable to a sailboat and a paddle boat.

In this way, Ji Long has to run out every half an hour.

If you don't need to clear the monster danger, the machine ship can sail 10,000 meters in ten minutes.

But along the way, there are many monsters entrenched in the water, and the mecha team needs to clear them, so the drive slows down.

It can maintain half an hour and 10,000 meters, which is already quite remarkable.

By nightfall, the fleet had traveled 200,000 meters.

Ji Long told the fleet to stop and rest in place for the night.

Although the power system of the machine ship is powerful and can run 24 hours a day, the mecha team and the people of the Sect are all living people, and after a day of fighting, even if they take turns to fight, they will be tired.

So rest is essential.

Besides, they weren't in a hurry, so why did they have to act overnight?

You can run 200 kilometers a day, and it won't take you 10 days to reach the border of Kyushu, so why rush?

In the experience of this day.

The fleet has encountered many monster attacks, large and small, and the monsters encountered are innumerable, and the mecha team itself can't count how many monsters they have killed.

Schools of piranhas, crocodiles, individual giant eagles, etc., anyway, reflect the abundance of species in China during the Warring States Period.

These monsters, if they are an ordinary army, without a sufficient number of masters in charge, and without powerful machine ships and machine items, will definitely be able to cause painful losses to those who pass by.

As a result, there was a problem of enlistment again, no wonder Yan Xiaogong was reluctant to send troops to open up the Silk Road.

However, these are low-level monsters, and they can't cause any damage to the fleet, and the mecha team can completely chop vegetables and sweep away all monster attacks.

Moreover, the people who teach people are all chivalrous warriors, which can be compared to many ordinary soldiers.

So the fleet sang all the way, and there was no hindrance.

It is worth mentioning.

Every 100,000 meters, that is, 100 kilometers of road, Ji Long will build a post station group.

It consists of one set of gold system stations and three sets of purple system stations.

Among them, there are 3 NPC mercenaries, 6 heroes, and 90 heroes.

The overall strength is definitely comparable to that of a medium-sized force, and with the system post station on the previous road, it is absolutely no problem to guard this 100-kilometer road.

Although the construction of post stations is like burning money, for the follow-up safety of the Silk Road and reducing maintenance costs, it is necessary to spend more money now.

Once this road is successfully constructed and leads smoothly to the human assembly place outside Kyushu, it will be a golden road, and the subsequent benefits to him cannot be estimated.

Just like the construction of airports and airways in modern times, it is inevitable to spend money like water when building, and once and for all.

Anyway, Ji Long is not interested in gold coins and RMB, and if he can use them to pave a Silk Road and earn him prestige points and spirit stones, he is happy to burn money.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, under the long whistle of the Kowloon, the fleet set out again and went retrograde along the Qiashui.

Day after day, another 6 days passed in a flash.

After 7 days of sailing, a total of more than 1.2 million meters were covered, which is a very satisfactory result.

At the same time, Ji Long built a post station along the road, and left a master to guard the road, this kind of news, has spread all over the north and south of the river, so that many Jianghu forces and dynastic forces, are highly expected.

Even, the various dynastic forces have sent troops to join the ranks of guarding this road.

Yan Xiaogong was the first to act, he directly transferred 100,000 soldiers and horses to various post stations, and while building a stronghold, he obeyed the deployment of NPC mercenaries and joined the daily patrol mission.

Everyone knows very well that once this road crosses the inside and outside of Kyushu and connects the human gathering places in the outside world, it will be a great merit and a golden road to the land of Kyushu.

In addition to Yan Xiaogong, other kingdoms began to send troops to extend this road and introduce this road from Yan to their own country.

The dynasties did not dare to go outside Kyushu to open up roads, but within Kyushu, once they had enough benefits, they were willing to spend some money and extend the Silk Road.

Although there are many monsters and beasts in the mountains, as long as the interests are large enough, nothing can stop the ambitions of the dynasty.

Regarding the boiling of the major forces and dynasties in Kyushu, Ji Long and his party didn't know, and they didn't have the heart to pay attention to those things.

Because they encountered natural danger, the whole fleet stopped advancing, and everyone was in trouble.

The hundreds of ships of the fleet are moored at the edge of a huge lake, that is, the entrance to the water source of Qiashui, the end of Qiashui.

How big the lake in front of them is, Ji Long and the others can't predict, in short, they can't see the edge at a glance.

Compared with the real map, there should be no lake in this place, but now there is such a big lake, which is definitely not normal.

Although the surface of the lake is calm and there seems to be no danger, the fact is that everyone does not dare to go deep into the lake.

Through the detection of the trap fish, Ji Long and they saw a group of dragons, all over the lake, and there were one or two not far away, which was simply Longtan.

That's right, it's the legendary dragon, not the python, which has been confirmed by the colorful snake.

In the morning, as soon as the fleet entered the lake, they were attacked by two dragons, killing them, and losing two of their ships.

At this moment, the corpses of the two dragons are still in the bilge of the Kowloon.

Therefore, the big monster in other areas of the lake is undoubtedly Jiaolong, and no one doubts it anymore.

In the face of such a dragon pool, it is strange that the fleet does not stop advancing, and Ji Long and Du Yongwang are not stupid, how can they let the fleet deliver food?

At this moment, Ji Long summoned all the high-level leaders of the Human Sect to hold a meeting in the conference hall of the Kowloon.

"We have finally arrived at the border of Kyushu after a lot of hardship, and we only need to cross this lake to leave Kyushu and go outside. However, the current problem has to be solved, everyone should express their opinions, how to deal with the Longtan in front of us? Everyone took their seats, and Ji Long began.

"It's definitely not okay to force your way through, although my agency ship is powerful, it's okay to deal with one or two dragons, and it's a pipe dream to ask them to deal with the entire Longtan." Du Yongwang spoke first.

"Why don't we take a detour?" Empress Ji Shu said.

"No, the detour is also in vain, on the border of Kyushu, there are powerful monsters guarding it, when we broke into Kyushu, we made many detours; But we can go around dozens of different places, and every time we want to cross this border, we will encounter powerful monsters and monsters to block it, and we can't get around it at all. Lance Weiguo said solemnly.
