Chapter Ninety-One: The Strange Bridge of the Canal

Lu Dachuan didn't allow us to question, quickly bypassed a few trees in front of us and ran towards the front where the sound of water came, seeing that most of his figure was blocked by the staggered tree trunks, I let go of the arrow in my hand indiscriminately, hung the bow on my body like a shoulder bag, and hurriedly chased after him, Lu Keqin and they followed closely behind me,

Lu Dachuan turned around and shouted as he ran: "Hurry up, I see the river." ”

The ferns on the forest ground are not big, but they are very dense one by one, and some are still entangled with each other, and it is not so easy to run, I shouted Lu Dachuan to slow down, wait for us, he has already stopped, and said, "Don't run, come to the front." ”

Through the gaps between the trees, I saw a wide body of water, thinking that Lu Dachuan had reached the bank of the river, so the speed did not decrease, and I wanted to run out of the forest from the other side of a tree beside him, but I didn't expect to take a big step and almost ran into the river: "Fuck, how come this is not even the riverbank." ”

Lu Dachuan grabbed my backpack and helped me stop the car and shouted: "Tell you that it's here, why are you still so reckless." ”

"Why don't you say that the river has no riverbank."

I wiped the cold sweat that scared out, hit a rake, and then looked at the river in front of us, the river surface is about thirty meters wide, and I can't see far from both sides before I am blocked by the woods, it seems that the river is indeed like Lu Dachuan said that the river is circular, and the woods on the opposite bank look particularly dense, and the outermost trees are also close to the riverbed, and some are also inclined like crooked neck trees, and the canopy of the leafy trees is almost attached to the water.

Lu Dachuan's eyes were about to pop out: "What is the river without a bank, what are you stepping on under your feet." ”

I knew that I was wrong, so I didn't answer his words anymore, and looked around pretendedly: "The river is so wide, and there is no boat how to pass,

Liu Changleg squeezed to the side of us, looked at the situation on the river, and said, "Walk along the riverbank, there should be a bridge on the river." ”

Just now Lu Dachuan heard the sound of water and knew that it was a circular canal, and now Long Legs looked at the river and said that there should be a bridge on the river, I thought back to the legend of Atlantis that Lin Xian'er told me, it seems that these things were not mentioned, how did they know so clearly, I wondered in my heart, so I asked Lin Xian'er the reason,

Lin Xian'er thought for a while and said, "There is a detailed description of everything on the island in the legend, didn't I tell you?" ”

"Nope." I went through what she told me.

"Oh, I really didn't tell you." She said, "There is also a theory that there is a great and terrifying king** kingdom on the island of Daxizhou, whose sphere of influence covers not only the island of Daxizhou, but also other islands, and also rules a part of the continent. ”

"Talk as you go." Lu Dachuan identified the direction and took the lead along the river bank to the right.

We followed in the footsteps of Lu Dachuan, Lin Xian'er continued: "In the legend, the history of Atlantis itself began with the division of the land between the three brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon, and Poseidon caught the island of Daxizhou by lot, and at that time there was only a family of three living on the island of Daxizhou: the husband Yevnor, who was born from the earth, his wife Lev Jipa and their beautiful daughter Cletto, Poseidon fell in love with Cletor and married her, Cletto gave birth to five sets of twins, they were the first ten kings of the Great Western Continent,

In order to prevent the enemy from invading the island, Poseidon was the first to begin to strengthen the island, digging three water circles and two earth circles one after the other around a small gently raised mound, and later the Daxi people did a lot of work on these foundations, widening the water ring into a canal, and building many bridges on it. ”

"Oh, that's it."

After Lin Xian'er finished speaking, I thought about it carefully, combining what I saw and heard after stepping on this land with the ethereal legends she told me, I couldn't help but be deeply curious, and the mind to practice archery was gone, and I looked at the river through the trees while walking forward, hoping that the legendary bridge would appear as soon as possible.

Among the trees on the bank of the river next to the water, the vegetation is indeed too lush, and the vines like creepers connect the plants that are smaller than the trees and the grass that cannot be called into a whole, there is no way to walk on the ground, every step needs to be raised very high, it is simply a pain in the eggs, we are tired and sweaty and panting for not far, and we have the heart to retreat to the middle of the forest and are afraid that we will not see the river, and there is a bridge to miss,

So I, Lu Dachuan, and Liu Changleg could only take turns to open the road in front, not to mention how slow the speed of travel was.

It was my turn again, I swung my knife and slashed in front of me a few times, my arm was so sore that I couldn't lift it, I straightened up and let out a sigh: "Can you think of a different way, I'm afraid this way of walking will not go to the end in the year of the monkey." ”

"You kid chops grass slower than a cow grazes, and says all that useless, you take the luggage, and I and Long Legs open the way." Lu Dachuan unloaded his backpack and stuffed it into my arms, and then took away the knife in my hand.

"I'm dizzy, boss, you also call me long legs." Liu Changleg shouted,

"Haha......" Lu Dachuan laughed twice, "Actually, this nickname is not bad." ”

Liu Changleg glared at me fiercely: "It's all thanks to you." ”

I also smiled: "It's all brothers, you're welcome." ”

"Heh, this kid hasn't learned anything else, but his skin is getting thicker and thicker."

Lu Keqin interjected and said: "It's also a skill to be thick-skinned, otherwise I blush like rouge every day, how can I fix it." ”

Lu Keqin said that everyone laughed,

I looked at Lu Keqin with a bitter melon face, and before I could say anything, Lu Dachuan kicked me in the ass: "Don't get in the way, follow behind." ”

"Follow it, just follow it, I'm too tired to stand the fire anyway." I hugged Lu Dachuan's backpack in my arms like a baby, and retreated to Lu Keqin's side.

Lu Dachuan didn't have any burdens on him, and the speed of swinging the knife suddenly became much faster, and the speed of our progress also increased.

After walking for more than an hour, there were obvious changes in the woods, not that the trees and terrain had changed, but they were no longer so dead and silent, and there were bursts of bird calls from time to time between the dense canopy above the head, and some grasshoppers and other insects jumped out as Lu Dachuan's hand fell, and occasionally one or two frogs who didn't know where they were hiding, jumped down the river with a cold "poof", which scared us.

Lu Dachuan and Long Legs took turns to open the road, they were both as tired as their grandsons, I took turns to get bags for them, and it was not much better, the burden of vigilance naturally fell on Lin Xian'er and Lu Keqin, they held bows in their hands, vigilantly paying attention to the grass and trees around them, if I put it in front and let the two weak women be in charge of guarding, I would definitely not have a sense of security in my heart (of course, I didn't mean to despise women, but relying on Lu Dachuan and Long Legs became a habit,), but I saw their level of archery, I was relieved to pay attention only to whether there was a bridge on the river.

My eyes were sour, the river was still empty, and I couldn't help but wonder about the legends about Atlantis: "I haven't seen the bridge after walking for so long, maybe those legends are just legends?" ”

Lu Dachuan said: "You pay attention to both sides of the river, don't just stare at the river, all the signs we see prove that those legends are not groundless, but Atlantis was destroyed by a catastrophe, and after so many years, the bridge may collapse." ”

I wanted to ask what to do if it really collapsed, but seeing that Lu Dachuan was sweating profusely and out of breath when he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the river again.

I don't know how far I went, but just when I was almost desperate, a black line suddenly appeared on the river at the end of my eyes, and I shouted excitedly: "It seems that I have seen the bridge, go telescope, telescope." ”

They all stopped and looked at the river, because it was too far away, I couldn't be sure if the black line was a bridge, so I was so anxious that Lu Dachuan asked for a telescope,

Lu Keqin walked up to me in one step: "You fool, aren't you holding it." Saying that, she took out a telescope from the side pocket of Lu Dachuan's hiking bag in my arms and looked into the distance.

I looked at Lu Keqin: "Is it a bridge?" ”

"It's the bridge." Lu Dachuan turned his neck and changed his perspective, "Oh my God, this bridge is so weird." ”

"What's wrong?" Maybe I was looking forward to it for too long, and I couldn't wait to get the binoculars on Lu Keqin's eyes: "Show me, show me." ”

I took the glasses and put them on my eyes, and the black line was immediately pulled in front of my eyes, and in an instant I understood why Lu Keqin was talking about the bridge monster, because the one erected on the river surface more than thirty meters wide was just a huge stone bar in the shape of a long strip, and there was no bridge pier below, nor a guardrail above, it didn't look like a bridge at all.

How can this be, the buildings on the island are splendid, even the steps up the hill are made of gold, and the bridge over the river is so ugly,

I took a step towards the river, trying to look more closely, but the telescope was taken away by the long legs.

Waiting for Long Legs, Lu Dachuan, and Lin Xian'er to take turns to see it, they all felt strange, but this kind of unexpected thing can't be explained clearly in a few words, so we don't have too much verbosity,

Estimating the approximate distance of the strange bridge from us, he returned to the sparsely planted place in the woods, and hurried forward at the speed of a rapid march.

The further we went, the more sparse the trees became, and in less than half an hour, we didn't have to go to the edge of the river bank to see the bridge over the river clearly.

Lu Dachuan scolded: "This is too fucking cheating, Lao Tzu is so tired that he is half dead, it turns out that he is taking off his pants and farting." ”

I also scolded my mother with long legs, but we can't turn back time, and we can only complain to make our hearts less depressed.

A few people walked diagonally through the forest, came to the river, stood in front of them and looked at this huge stone bar on the river surface more than 30 meters wide, and in the telescope is not the same day, it has not been carved too much more than three meters thick, no less than five meters wide black and swarthy huge body looks on the river surface like putting chopsticks on the wrist so casually, but it shocks us no less than any modern bridge,

sighed and sighed, stopped and watched for ten minutes, Lu Dachuan waved his hand and said, "Go to the bridge and cross the river." We just stepped onto the bridge and walked to the other side.

Since there is no guardrail on the bridge deck, and the waves are rolling on the river surface under the bridge, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, we lined up and tried to walk in the middle of the bridge deck and walked to the opposite bank.

Halfway through, a layer of ethereal mist rose inexplicably on the surface of the river, and we began to think that this was a natural phenomenon in the unique environment of this continent, and we didn't pay too much attention to it, but when we reached the bridge, we found that the situation was not as simple as we imagined, because as the fog rose, countless figures faintly emerged from the water on the river surface......
