As the saying goes, the lookout mountain runs a dead horse, although looking at the basin is not far from us, as if we have crossed two hills.

But the mountain in front of us, it took us two days to climb to the top, and we can't just talk about it to reach the basin.

Early the next morning, we set off early.

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain, but it is difficult to go down, in fact, I think it is relatively easy to go down the mountain, as long as you control the center of gravity of the body, do not plant headlong, and rely on weight and inertia to go down, the speed will be very fast.

I almost trotted down the hill without even taking a break.

Wang Sheng and Liu Wei are both soldiers and experts in survival in the wild, although they can't keep up with me, they are not slow, and they can still come down.

The problem is Xiangshiyun and Zhu Tianfu, the two of them go down the mountain and call one slow, trembling, intermittent, often, hands are still holding the tree, but their feet dare not land, it looks like an embarrassment.

Because of the problem of not having feet, and not having a good grasp of the center of gravity, Xiangshiyun often falls, and when he throws it, his face hits the ground, and the dog gnaws on the mud.

After a fight with a four-legged snake with a human face, he was not injured, but he went down the mountain and disfigured a handsome face.

We were lucky that we didn't encounter a monster similar to a four-legged snake with a human face on the road, but there were more and more small animals, so we didn't have to worry about eating.

Although I went down the mountain quickly, it only took half a day, but the rest of the people couldn't, so in order to wait for them, we had to settle at the foot of the mountain for the night, and prepare to continue tomorrow.

Because the sun does not rise and set here, there is no difference between day and night, but there is a difference in time, and we still develop a good habit of walking during the day and sleeping at night.

When the time came in the evening, after we had eaten, we began to rest, and there were still people on duty and people in shifts.

But halfway through my sleep, I suddenly felt even colder and damp underneath.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he was suddenly woken up by Wang Sheng, who was keeping vigil.

I frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The damn tide is rising, and the water is coming up!" Wang Sheng exclaimed as he pulled us.

I was also shocked, and when I sat up, I found that there was water all around me, and the water was five or six centimeters high.

I immediately remembered that the water had flooded halfway up the mountain, and now that we were at the foot of the mountain, wouldn't it drown us if we were halfway up the mountain?

And the reason why Wang Sheng found out, not even earlier than I found out, is that they are standing on rocks in order to keep a better vigil, and the place where we sleep needs rocks to block the wind, so we actually sleep on the ground.

Everyone scrambled to get up and ran up the hill.

But we found that the speed of our running was not as fast as the water rose, and the road up the mountain was particularly difficult to walk, muddy and slippery everywhere, all because of the ebb and flow of the tide and the blisters.

Seeing that we were likely to be drowned, Xiangshiyun proposed, "Find some wood to float on the surface of the water to prevent drowning!" ”

Although a few of us knew how to water, we were afraid that the tide would come too quickly and too big and be washed away, so we found wood one after another.

The most important thing in the mountains and forests is wood, we found a few quite large logs, tied them together with vines, and made a simple raft, and finally all four people climbed up and floated

On the water.

Because the tide poured into it, our raft followed the tide and went inside.

With the help of Xiangshiyun and our own control, the raft did not get out of control, on the contrary, it went all the way smoothly, and even passed the first mountain in front of us.

When I left the first mountain, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Old man, you pulled us, and we went directly to the basin in the middle by water, which is much faster than climbing one mountain and one mountain." ”

After I reminded you, you also found this problem.

So before the tide receded, we had already crossed two hills.

There was only one last hill left ahead, and as soon as we crossed that hill, we should be able to see the basin.

We stayed halfway up the mountain until the tide receded, and the raft was kept.

Because of the problem of the heavy water, everyone did not rest well, and tossed for most of the night, so they planned to repair here, and wait until the tide came again the next day, and then left.

There was nothing going on all day, everyone was waiting for the tide.

But there is some uneasiness in my heart, I am afraid that this tide will not come, and if it does not come, we will not wait in vain.

But after the evening, we realized that our worries were unnecessary, and the tide came as scheduled, so we got on the raft and continued to paddle forward with the help of Xiangshiyun.

Soon we were at the last hill, and in fact, according to the current situation, there was no problem at all with rowing directly into the basin.

But in order to protect a wave, I chose to stay halfway up the mountain, first observe and observe, so as not to break in directly and encounter any irresistible danger, you must know that the last time the human face four-legged snake almost wiped everyone out, in case you encounter a monster more powerful than the human face four-legged snake, then it is not the end of the game.

And the reason why I chose not to go is because I can't see anything at all, the tide is halfway up the mountain, the basin is full of water, and I can't see anything, and when I go to the basin, I can only wait on the raft and wait until the tide recedes to see what is going on inside.

So instead of soaking in cold water, it is better to go halfway up the mountain to roast the fire and eat the meat.

Wondering what was going on in the basin, everyone waited, and there was no game, waiting for the tide to recede.

The wait was long, and I waited so anxiously that I couldn't wait to swim down and see for myself.

It wasn't until the time was almost dawn that the tide began to recede slowly.

As the tide recedes, we see more and more.

"There's light down there!" In fact, we all saw it, but only Zhu Tianfu said it.

"It seems to be a city!" I squinted slightly, trying to get a closer look at what was going on.

As the tide slowly recedes, we see a magical scene.

Below is indeed a city, an ancient city covered with moss, exactly like the mirage we saw on land.

But this ancient city was not flooded by the tide, and although it was surrounded by tides, not a drop of tide could enter it.

It's like having a protective shield in science fiction that keeps all the tide out.

The architectural style of this ancient city is a bit like the earthen city in some costume dramas, very dilapidated, full of ruins and broken walls, but the area is quite large, and the radius is the smallest when viewed from the mountain

There are more than ten kilometers.

"It's like an abandoned ancient city!" Wang Sheng said a word of nonsense.

On all sides of this ancient city is a small city of Weng that looks like a four-legged city.

When I went to the city, I looked at it from the mountain, and except for this light in the center, there were no people in the rest of the place, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

"Could this be the legendary Water City? A city in the water? "Looking at the tide that has not completely receded, it is surrounding the ancient city below, and I can't help but sigh.

"Sigh a fart, go down and take a look!" Wang Sheng slapped me, and a group of us rushed down the mountain towards the ancient city below.

It's still the same sentence, Wangshan ran a dead horse, although it looked right in front of us, but when we came to the city wall of the ancient city, it was already half a day later.

Looking at the dilapidated city wall, the gatehouse on the city gate, there are only a few wooden pillars left, and a few tiles, indicating that this place has long been dilapidated, and there has been no human population for a long time.

But it is also these wooden pillars that still stand that tell us that it is always there, that it never falls.

When I entered the city gates, I kept looking at the pillars, which were so tall and proud, as if to tell me, "Even if it is a thousand years from now, I will still stand." ”

After entering the city, we found the problem, there were traces of a battle, bullet casings on the ground, and blood stains, indicating that there was a battle here.

Wang Sheng quickly observed on the ground, and then said: "It is estimated that it is the person of the Dragon Slaying Organization and the City Lord Xiang Feiyu, looking at the footsteps here, there are at least a thousand people passing by!" ”

"Is there an enemy here? Or did they fight on their own? I asked, confused.

The reason why I have this doubt is because what Wang Sheng said is that only these people pass by here, and only these people can only mean two things, either there is infighting, or someone arrived here first to ambush.

So who are these people? Could it be the Ninth Master?

From the moment I came in, I started looking for the Ninth Master and them, first, I wanted to help Victoria Alice and them find a solution to the undead Gu worms. Second, I just want to ask why I was under house arrest in the first place, and what the sentence that the ninth master said when he came back and told me all the words meant.

"Do I really have anything to do with the Ninth Master?" This is actually a secret that I have been hiding in my heart for so many days.

I guessed that I was the one of the four legendary families, the Wang family, and so was the ninth master, and I guessed that he was one of my blood relatives. Either from my father's generation or from my grandfather's generation.

But it has not been confirmed, so I want to find the ninth master and ask them to find out.

It is already certain that the Ninth Master must have entered the underwater world, but after so many days, I can't find any clues about them, which is what worries me the most.

However, my guess was quickly overturned by Wang Sheng, who pointed to the ground and said with irregular steps: "I guess most of them have monsters attacking them, so they fought." ”

"Monsters? How so? What if it's stepped on randomly? "We couldn't tie that monster all the way, so I don't think it's likely.

But Wang Sheng pointed to a few scratches on the city wall and told me: "Look here, this is not something that can be made by man. ”
