Chapter 61: The Shadow of the Boat

As Zhang Xue said this, he suddenly pulled the oars hard, and the boat instantly accelerated, rushing towards the depths of the dense fog like flying, Wu Que, Da Hei and Snow Wolf were caught off guard and almost fell into the water. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Oh no, they're speeding up, chase after you!" came a nervous shout and a fierce oar slap behind him.

"We can't catch up with them! We can't catch up! Go and tell the Holy King! Hurry! Hurry!" shouted the nearest boat.

......

The dense fog of Gukey Lake obscured the sky and rolled like clouds, and the faint sound of waves and thunder kept coming, like the roar of a beast lurking in the depths of the dense forest.

The torrent began to increase, the waves were already more than one person high, and the reefs and islands flashed in front of Wu Que's eyes from time to time.

Because the dense fog that seemed to be like a substance greatly affected the line of sight, Zhang Xuezhu's paddle was extremely fast, and several times the boat collided head-on with the waves, breaking out of the waves, and the two of them, the two wolves and the little black in the bag were all soaked.

It's no wonder that there are so many waterway maps sold in Ancient Key City.

Thinking of the waterway map, Wu Que couldn't help but complain loudly: "Hey, I said Xue'er, after spending so much black money and buying so many waterway maps, can't you pick a better route?"

Zhang Xuezhu said coldly while paddling: "Do you think the route I picked is not good?"

Wu Que casually said "ah, ah, oh, oh", turned his head and pretended to observe the situation on the lake, trying to get through the barrier.

"Is it good!?" Zhang Xuezhu suddenly slammed the oar, and the boat suddenly jumped up, crossed a low reef, and landed in the lake with a "plop" and continued to move forward.

The reefs and rapids on the lake flashed from his eyes, and Wu Que suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said loudly: "Okay! The waterway map with 'powerful navigation function' is good!"

"Huh?" Zhang Xue looked back at Wu Que, and a flash of surprise and appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Xuezhu was actually moving forward according to the waterway map route of the fish stall guy buy one get one free!

The more carefully Wu Que observed and compared, the more intense the surprise in his heart became: the inconspicuous spots in the blank space of the waterway map were not unintentionally stained, and each spot on it turned out to correspond precisely to a certain reef, island, or whirlpool in the lake!

Could it be that the picture is really a thousand generations of ancestors?

"Xue'er, how do you know that this waterway map is the best?" Wu Que couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Xuezhu glanced at Wu Que with disdain: "There are so big four words on the banner, 'Thousands of generations of ancestors', don't you see it?"

"Uh......" Wu Que suddenly found that he couldn't find a word to express his mood at the moment.

......

There was no sun and moon in the dense fog, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction, and Wu Que relied entirely on his feelings to judge the passage of time.

Zhang Xuezhu has been paddling for at least a day and a night, Wu Que has proposed to replace him with a few times, but Zhang Xuezhu ignored it, but instead stroked faster and faster, and his expression became more and more solemn.

After crossing a thunderous and turbid water, the boat entered a dense area of islands.

According to the "thousand-generational" waterway map with "powerful navigation function", this island is the last large area leading to the center of the ancient key lake.

In this island area, although the waves are not too high, but due to the obstruction of the island, it is impossible to row too fast, Zhang Xuezhu finally handed over the two oars to Wu Que, and sat in the boat to rest with his eyes closed.

Wu Que followed the route of the waterway map in his mind, and struggled to shuttle between the islands.

Paddled and rowed, hungry again, Wu Que knew that he had been rowing for most of the day, lightning and thunder in front of him, Wu Que suddenly paddled, and passed under a huge hanging reef on an island.

According to the waterway map, they should have made their way through the last of the island's waters to the center of the Ancient Key Lake.

"Arrived?" Zhang Xue opened his eyes.

Wu Que put down the oars, got up and looked around, and said, "It's here." Hey, that's not right!"

Zhang Xuezhu heard Wu Que exclaim, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Where is this? Why are we still in the same place?" Xiao Que, why are you lazy while I'm sleeping!?"

Wu Que opened his mouth and stammered: "I ......"

"Forget it, forget it, let me come!" Zhang Xue snatched the sculls from Wu Que's hand.

Wu Que had no choice but to sit down depressedly, cheering up and puffing out his eyes to pay attention to the scenery around the boat: he wanted to find out where he had drawn the wrong direction.

Zhang Xuezhu's eyes were blazing, and he rowed very carefully and cautiously, passing through the islands at a constant speed.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......" A strange voice suddenly came from the front.

Wu Que and Zhang Xuezhu were all taken aback, and looked ahead with wide eyes.

In the dense fog ahead, a small boat could be faintly seen, and the figures on board were paddling hard.

Someone was ahead of them! And the boat was going the same route as the fish vendor's waterway map!

Zhang Xuezhu's eyes were shining, and he suddenly paddled and chased towards the small boat in front of him at full speed.

The boat in front heard the sound of rowing behind and also suddenly accelerated.

Zhang Xue bit lightly, and every time he went down, the boat seemed to be flying against the water.

But the boat in front of him was extremely powerful, no matter how much Zhang Xuezhu accelerated, he couldn't shorten the distance with it by even one step!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......" The two small boats were speeding between the islands, and Wu Que was dumbfounded.

I don't know how long I chased it, "click", a bolt of lightning, flashed in the thick fog.

The shadow of the boat in front flashed and rushed out; Zhang Xuezhu suddenly oared, and the boat flew up in an instant, crossed a suspended reef, and also rushed out, "plopping" and falling on the water.

"Click", the lightning rose again, and the shadow of the ship in front flashed, rushed into the dense fog, and completely disappeared from the sight of Wu Que and Zhang Xuezhu.

Zhang Xue saw that she couldn't catch up, so she stopped the sculls in her hand.

Wu Que turned his head to look around, and shouted in surprise: "Where is this? Why are we still in the same place?Xue'er, why are you lazy while I'm sleeping!?"

Zhang Xue turned his head to observe, his eyes wide open: "What's the matter? Why did I just focus on chasing people and forget the route?"

"Forget it, forget it, let me come!" Wu Que snatched the sculls from Zhang Xuezhu again.

So, for the third time, the two of them rowed into this vast island area from the same place.

Like Zhang Xuezhu last time, Wu Que also rowed very carefully this time, ensuring that every oars he was moving in the direction of "navigation".

"I don't believe that I will draw the wrong route this time!" With the experience of the previous two times, Wu Que is full of confidence.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......" Suddenly there was the sound of paddles in front of him.

In the thick fog, a small boat was moving ahead of them!

Zhang Xue snatched the sculls from Wu Que's hands.

"Whoa...... Wow...... ...... faint sound of paddling came from farther away.

This time, there was not one, but two, and maybe more!

Zhang Xuezhu stared blankly at the shadow of the boat in the dense fog in front of him, and suddenly stuffed the oars back into Wu Que's hand.

"Do you want to chase?" Wu Que looked at Zhang Xuezhu.

Zhang Xue was silent for a while, slowly sat down in the boat, and said, "Whatever." ”

As you see fit!?

Wu Que thought to himself: You can't catch up, then I'll try my best to be casual!

So Wu Que struggled to chase the boat in front.

Like Zhang Xuezhu before, no matter how hard Wu Que tried, he couldn't catch up with the boat in front, let alone the one in front that only heard its sound and didn't see its shadow.

As he rowed, Wu Que felt more and more tired, and his speed gradually slowed down, and the boat in the dense fog in front of him also slowed down.

Wu Que couldn't help but complain: "Xue'er, look at the two ships in front, we are fast, he is fast, we are slow, he is slow, are you angry with us?"

"Plop", the boat shook slightly.

Wu Que opened a pair of hazy sleepy eyes and looked up: Zhang Xuezhu, Da Hei and Snow Wolf were all lying in the boat and asleep.

Wu Que's eyes opened and closed, his head little by little, trying to control himself not to fall asleep, and at the same time thinking: "I can't imagine that you are also sleepy...... No, how could Cher be sleepy, why are we all sleepy, I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep, I can't sleep......."

A faint fear rose from the bottom of my heart, but the irresistible tiredness still stubbornly struck and penetrated everywhere.

"Hey, I'm so tired, let's sleep for a while, just a little bit. Wu Que comforted himself in his heart, stopped paddling with both hands, and slowly closed his eyes.
