Chapter 265: Styx (Part II)
Ye Sheng turned around and nodded to Yuan Huihao, calmed Eugene, and quickly left the space with the Medusa patriarch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Eugene watched the three of them enter, the picture that rippled like water suddenly stopped, and finally calmed down, just like what Ye Sheng and the others had seen at the beginning.
"Here?"
To their surprise, the first thing they saw when they entered it was a quiet and flowing river, but it looked very turbid, let alone crystal clear, even if they looked through the surface of the river, they couldn't see an inch below.
It was similar to the river they had seen in the Winged Clan's habitat.
The interior is about the same as before, except that it's half the size of the space, and there's nothing else to notice other than the river in front of you.
"What you see is a dark river within our clan." Patriarch Medusa gritted his silver teeth, "Recently, I don't know why the tide occasionally rises, and this water will cause diseases as soon as it comes into contact with our snake clan." ”
Listening to the words of the Perfect Tussaud Patriarch, Ye Sheng squatted down, the river flowed slowly on a river channel, and the end of the river left this space and led to the deep darkness on the other side.
He picked up the pebbles from the edge of the river and threw them at the center of the river.
The stone, about the size of a thumb, splashed a little ripple when it landed on the surface of the water and then sank straight down......
"It's not sinking, it's melting." Hara Eha, who was watching this scene from the side, said, and also picked up a leaf, put half of it into the water, fished it out of the river and displayed it in front of Ye Sheng, and it was indeed only a piece that was not immersed in the water.
Ye Sheng looked at the Medusa patriarch with a puzzled gaze, hoping that she could give an answer, after all, she hadn't said this trait when she talked about this river before.
"How so?" The snake matriarch was also incredulous, she looked at the leaf several times, and finally accepted the reality, "It seems that the condition of the river in our clan is getting worse and worse. ”
Looking at the calm river, Ye Sheng felt troubled: "Do you want us to help you solve the problem of this river?" ”
It was already obvious that the Medusa patriarch had brought them here, but Ye Sheng didn't think he had such ability.
The snake matriarch hesitated for a moment, and seemed to find it difficult for a strong man to be silent in the night, so he said, "At least I want to know why this river has changed like this, and it is best to help us suppress it." ”
If it weren't for the fact that the land in the border region could not be changed at will, the snake girl patriarch would have left here with his snake girl a long time ago, and the river rooted here was too difficult, like an alchemy bomb that could explode at any time.
This still gave Ye Sheng a headache: "How many such rivers are there in your snake clan?" ”
From what the Medusa patriarch said just now, Ye Sheng vaguely sensed that the one in front of him was not the only one.
Sure enough, he got the answer from the mouth of the snake matriarch: "There are seven in total, and the current one is the most serious." ”
"Can you take me to a few other places?"
At this time, Ye Sheng's mind kept flooding with information about the types of rivers he had seen in the books he had read before, but he still couldn't sift through it in this short period of time.
The Medusa patriarch turned his head and stood on the same wall where he came, and it was only then that Ye Sheng and Yuan Hui realized that this wall was almost exactly the same as the one they had seen before and shuttled with them.
The serpentine sculpture form seemed to be the belief of their snake clan, but there was no such existence among some of the gods that Ye Sheng knew.
While Ye Sheng was thinking about this, the Medusa Patriarch had already moved through the wall as before.
This time, she took them outside the building of the snake habitat, at the opposite end of the place where they entered, and where they were about to leave the range of the snake habit.
Under the light of the goddess of the sun, this river shone brightly, but Ye Sheng noticed that compared to the previous river, the color of this river was significantly darker.
And the course of the river extended even more outward, but there were several tributaries that entered the area where Ye Sheng was previously living in the snake clan.
"This is the source?"
After carefully studying it for a long time, Ye Sheng said, there are so many strange creatures and strange terrains that appear in this domain, and the introduction of this in the scholar's house in the Silver Capital is also scattered, and it is naturally impossible for Ye Sheng to exhaust all the information about this in the short time left, and it is impossible for him to find all of them.
But since these seven rivers have appeared here in the snake girl, it must not be an exception.
Patriarch Medusa nodded and pointed to the river, "Because there are several races near our snake clan that happen to be located where the river came, we haven't explored it. ”
Inter-race defenses are naturally very serious in the borderlands, and even in such a situation, people may not be willing to let you into their territory to investigate.
The current situation was at a stalemate, and the snake matriarch had brought them here obviously to get him to give some advice, but at this time, he couldn't go deep into the source to check the situation, so he couldn't confirm what kind of watershed existed in the borderlands.
[System Prompt: You have triggered the quest 'River Survey'.] 】
[Mission: River Survey.]
Class: Unknown
Quest Completion Condition: Investigate the cause of the river change or solve the river change. 】
The patriarch of the snake clan had been looking at Ye Sheng, obviously expecting him to put forward his own opinions and give them some guidance.
After pondering for a while, Ye Sheng had to speak: "I probably already know the specifics, but I still need a certain amount of time to determine if it is what I think." ”
After that, he changed the subject: "Did you try to block the river when it was not melting for a while?" ”
"Blocked?" There was a hint of mockery in the eyes of the Medusa patriarch who looked at him, as if he was whimsical, but thinking that she would need his help later, she restrained her emotions and said calmly, "We have experimented with stones and other metals, and it has basically no effect. ”
"Silk, silk." Just as the two were about to continue their conversation, a snake girl slowly came dragging her snake tail.
"Silk, silk......, silk" Patriarch Medusa talked to her for a while, revealing a hint of strangeness, but turned to the night silence and said, "The person you are looking for is now in our snake clan." ”
After so many days, Ye Sheng and Hara Ai finally met Captain Jason and Team Leader Walker again.
It's just that they don't look very good at this time, especially Captain Jason, whose shoulders are wrapped in several layers of white cloth, and blood is still oozing from it, and it is obvious that the wound still hasn't healed.
Except for Team Leader Walker, who was unscathed, the other members of the guard team were more or less injured, but none of them were in the vital parts.
"Silent Scholars."
Captain Jason, who had been anxious after being forcibly brought into the snake tribe's habitat, suddenly brightened his eyes, and he was particularly surprised to see the Heavenly Favorite.
"The convoy is nearby, you can send people over and have a look."
Ye Sheng's words obviously meant something else, and Team Leader Walker glanced at Jason, and then the guards all went out of the room.
In the entire space, there are only Ye Sheng and Hara Ai Haze, as well as Jason and Walker.
During the exchange, both sides knew each other's experiences in the past two days.
Captain Walker and Captain Jason did defeat the lizardmen with the WingClan, but the cruelty of the war was obvious, and only a dozen of the guards who had been taken away by Gary were now able to follow the caravan on, and the rest of the seriously injured or hindered movement were arranged by the two of them in the WingClan habitat, and they planned to pick them up after leaving the Lua High Slope.
"You're saying we're going to solve the problem of the river for the snake matriarch?"
Because of the previous unpleasant experience, Captain Jason really didn't have a good impression of the snake girl, not to mention that he had learned from other people that the snake clan had always been a chaotic camp and had never been close to humans.
This made him very reluctant to help the snake women of this tribe solve their problems.
"Since the patriarch has said so much before, we must come up with some useful advice." Team Leader Walker was more open-minded than Captain Jason, and he noticed the focus of the Celestial's speech.
"I can't help you with something like this." Jason's face was somewhat tired after the war, and coupled with the fact that they had been in a hurry, there was no extra energy, and Jason was obviously not good at it.
"Me too." Team Leader Walker also showed a helpless expression, "But if there's anything we can do to help, be sure to let us know." ”
"Go and rest."
Ye Sheng and Hara Ai were walking through the snake tribe's habitat together, it was already evening, and today they were going to spend the night here, and tonight he had to come up with an idea.
The patriarch of the snake clan didn't look like a helpful person no matter how he looked at it, and it wasn't a good thing to be able to meet Captain Jason and Team Leader Walker so smoothly this time.
After all, the more she gives, the more earnestly she wants his help.
If she doesn't get a satisfactory answer after this, then it is unknown whether they will be able to leave safely tomorrow.
At this time, Ye Sheng was also very embarrassed, he had already asked the Grim Reaper and the Desireless in his kung fu just now, the former knew very little about the situation in the border region, and the latter needed a certain amount of time to sort out the information he gave in order to deduce the possible situation.
If you do the math, it's almost time.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Wu Xiang sent all the relevant information to Ye Sheng. (To be continued.) )
