Chapter 138: Finding the Water Source

[Ran^Text^Library] The three of them hurriedly walked down the mountain, the stone forest was like a labyrinth, the gap between the stones was only for one person to pass through, and Onijiu took out the compass, during which he kept climbing the higher stones to determine the direction of adjustment.

After half an hour of travel, the stones in front began to thin, trees began to appear, and a day river appeared in front.

"Master, we're back to the river we had before."

Xiaoxue pointed to a tree on the shore and said, "Look, there is a big beehive at the branch of that big tree, and I took a few more looks."

Onijiu looked at the riverbank, and that's right, the three of them went around the mountain and returned to where they were.

There is no signal on this mountain, and Onijiu can only rely on a map and compass to determine the general direction, and it is really not easy to find the village where Xiaoying was a child, Onijiu did not expect that the mountain here would be so big, let alone that there would be a lot of incredible troubles here.

"Xiaoying, do you have any special memories of the characteristics of your village when you were a child?" Onihisa asked.

Xiao Ying pondered for a while, and said in a whisper: "There is really nothing special except for the big lake, in short, there are mountains all around, there are not many people in our village, and a few families simply live in the caves in the mountains, but when we were playing by the lake when we were children, the adults forbade us to go to the outlet of the big lake, saying that it was the source of the dragon's water, and the water flowed to the dragon's palace, and every year, the adults had to go there to worship the dragon king."

After listening to what Xiao Ying said, Ghost Jiu looked at the river in front of him again, and suddenly had an epiphany, could it be that this river came out of that lake!

The "dragon" they call may be the water snake in this river.

This speculation is plausible, because Onihisa has seen a dragon-like state formed by the entanglement of many water snakes in a cave full of roots underground.

Perhaps the ancestors of the villagers in the depths of the mountain accidentally saw this scene and mistook it for a dragon, so they told it to their descendants, and then passed it down from generation to generation.

If so, then walking up the river will take you to your destination. Onijiu decided to go like this, after all, the hope is very great, and it is better than not having a grip.

The three of them began to walk upstream along the river, but also doubly careful, because the mountain was very strange and it was not known what else would go wrong.

Fortunately, it's still daytime, and there is not much chance of something out of common sense appearing.

The vegetation on the banks of the river is not very lush, and there are even no vegetation in some places, which is actually a strange phenomenon, and where there is a water source, the vegetation should be reborn.

However, this situation brought convenience to the march of the three people, and in less than an hour there were nearly ten miles of land. The drinking water they had brought with them had been drunk, and there was still some dry food, and the three of them planned to sit down and rest for a while.

Xiao Ying squatted by the river and took a few sips of some river water in her hand.

"Don't drink!" Onijiu hurriedly stopped it, but it was too late.

"What's wrong, uncle?" Xiao Ying asked suspiciously.

"There's something wrong with this river, spit it out," Ghost shouted anxiously.

Xiao Ying tried to spit out a few times, but the water had already been swallowed and she couldn't spit it out at all.

When Onihisa sat down just now, he looked at the inside of the river, and through the special perspective and microscopic action of the Celestial Eye, Onihisa saw that there were secret hemp, extremely small creatures in the river, and when he looked in the direction of the upstream and downstream, the water area that could be reached was all these things.

Of course, because it is very small, Xiaoxue and Xiaoying can't see it.

When these things enter the body, it is difficult to say whether they will cause lesions, but in this barren mountains and mountains, if you get sick, it will be troublesome, and if you don't get it right, it will be life-threatening.

Oniku decided to speed up, these things should resemble some bug larvae, and if they cause lesions, there should be a temporality, not in the short term. Drill into the human body and grow rapidly.

Oni Jiu has to return to the city before they can be destroyed, and they can be completely destroyed by modern means.

The rapid march was really a little inappropriate for the two girls, and after marching more than ten miles, they were exhausted.

"Great, master, I really can't walk," he said, and Xiao Xue sat on the ground with weak legs.

Xiao Ying then fell down: "I'm too thirsty"

In fact, Xiaoxue is already thirsty now, sweating along the way, her body has been seriously dehydrated, and if she doesn't replenish water, it's really not good.

The ghost is also a little tired, but after all, he has practiced Taoist qigong, and his strength is not ordinary people.

Looking at the two girls like this, they really couldn't walk, so they had to sit down and rest for a while.

Onihisa observed the surrounding terrain, this place is surrounded by high mountains, this place is like a basin, except for the sound of gurgling water, there is no sound, it is very quiet.

In this single sound of running water, Oni Jiu heard another sound, which was also the sound of water, but it was different from the sound of running water, like the sound of a large amount of water colliding.

Onihisa realized that it could be the sound of a waterfall.

Oni Jiu took out the kettle in his bag, walked in the direction of the sound of the waterfall, walked a few steps, turned around and said, "You two don't run around, I'll go over there to find some water"

The two girls no longer had the strength to speak, but nodded slightly in agreement.

More than a thousand meters away, the river turned behind a mountain in the basin, and the sound of the water became louder and louder. As the river turned, the sound of the water became louder, and Ogyu could now be sure that it was the sound of a waterfall.

After a few more kilometers of turning the mountain, a magnificent waterfall appeared in front of Onijiu, and the upper source of the river was that waterfall. The drop of the waterfall is not large, about 20 meters.

Onihisa noticed that there was a hand-dug staircase next to the waterfall, which led to the top of the waterfall.

It seems that there may be traces here, and Onijiu decided to go up and take a look, if there are people here, they should know the situation in the mountains, and it will not be difficult to find the village where Xiaoying was a child.

It didn't take much effort to climb up the stairs, and it didn't take long for Oneku to climb to the top, and when Onehisa raised his head to look at the environment, he almost fell down excitedly.

Isn't that the shape of the lake in that map! That's where the three of them have worked so hard to find.

The water of the lake is so clear that you can even see the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, which is something like this that has not been seen in many years. Surrounded by large mountains, this lake is located on a slightly lower hill surrounded by large mountains, the lake is very large, and there are no impurities in the water, not even fish.

Onijiu felt that something was not right, how could such a big lake not even have a living creature? Is the water poisonous?

Ghost Jiu dipped a drop of water in his hand and licked it lightly with his tongue, the water quality was particularly sweet, and there was no special taste.

Onihisa and his uncle have learned a lot of ways to identify poisons, and they can be sure that there is absolutely no poison in this water, but why are there no living creatures?
