Chapter 41: Into the Motvia Waterways

Due to the crew restrictions of the dinghy, Natsuhiko, Joshim, and Shoy temporarily broke away from the mercenary group and traveled upstream along the Yu River to the Motvia waterway mentioned by the river god. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Along the way, Josim relied on his abundant physical strength to row the boat for several miles without stopping, and when he came to the territory of Ryordian, he decided to rest for a while, and Xia Yan took the oars and continued to row upstream.

Along the way, Xiao Yi kept looking at the bottom of the nearby river, occasionally plunging his triangular gun into the bottom of the water, stirring it up a few times and pumping it back, and he never got tired of it.

"Is there any secret to this river, why do you yearn for it so much......" Just rowing was quite tedious, Xia Yan asked.

"The River You is the name of the Nords, but the real name of this river is the River Weir, and there is a huge ark sleeping at the bottom of the river, and the goddess exists to protect this river. ”

Joshim took some water from the river, put it in a water bag and drank it, explaining: "The Nord historical record is more about the sea, and the main inland river is only a corner of the Yu. To be honest, the monster that appeared this time completely shattered my illusion of mermaids. ”

"Fishmen and mermaids are both natural spirits, but the mermaids are more hideous, and the mermaids are very beautiful!~" She answered Joshim's regret and leaned back to the side of the boat to continue her entertainment.

"Whoever stands in our way, I will kill it, we are already surrounded, what do you think?" The strong man's unique consciousness made Xia Yan feel the threat underwater, and immediately stopped the oar in his hand and held the hilt of the knife.

There were a few strange shadows under the water around him, and before he had time to think about it, Josim took Shoey's triangular gun and came to the front of the dinghy, and said to Xia Yan: "Try to keep the hull of the boat as stable as possible, and leave the enemies under the water to me to deal with!"

In the blink of an eye, one of the fish-men rushed out of the water and pounced on their boat, being impaled by Joshim's neck and thrown into the river in the distance, while another fish-man swam to the side of the boat and struck its tail against the hull, causing Josim to lose his balance and fall into the water due to the sudden shaking......

"Whew, throw me the short knife!" Joshim paddled out of the water, and the fishmen around him began to swim towards him, Natsuhiko took out the water from his backpack and threw it to Joshim in the water, and reminded: "Hold on, I'll give you a rope!"

As soon as he reached out to catch the sword, a fishman grabbed his leg from under the water and forcibly dragged him to the bottom, Natsuhiko grabbed the crescent moon and slid his fingertips over the blade......

"Don't do this, you'll hurt Johim!" Shaw immediately stopped Natsuhiko and snatched the knife from his hand, she thought that Jochim would not fail so easily, and Natsuhiko should believe him.

In the water, Josim was already surrounded by three fish-men within his field of vision, he adjusted his breathing to avoid wasting too much oxygen, shortened the triangular spear back to the bayonet, and directly pierced the throat of the fish-man closest to him, the other two monsters quickly paddled the water to attack with sharp claws, he held the hilt of the sword, with the support of the stabbed fish-man, shook the two enemies with his foot and drew back the sword, pulled out the short knife and swam to the two fish-men on the opposite side at full speed, and stabbed the knife and sword into the necks of the two fish-men at the same time, and cut the fish-man's neck with all his strength。

The two people in the dinghy noticed a large amount of blood floating on the water, and just when they were feeling bad, Josim finally surfaced, he greedily breathed in the fresh air, and threw the crescent moon knife to Natsuhiko on the boat, gasping for breath and boarding the dinghy.

"Whew...... Do you think I'm dead...... ...... "He was still a little out of breath, and sat down in the middle of the dinghy and leaned back.

Shoey didn't answer, took his weapon from Joshim's hand, and said, "It's so bloody, but it's so exciting! The journey ahead must be more interesting, right?"

"We're not here to play, these aren't the fish on the table, they're the most terrible killers!" Shaw's indifferent attitude towards everything angered Natsuhiko and reprimanded her, but she didn't take Natsuhiko's admonition seriously, and continued to stretch the bayonet to paddle the river.

"It seems that they are extremely hostile to any non-creatures, but luckily my outfit is suitable for water fighting, otherwise I would have died under the fangs. He sat up again, picked up his oars and continued rowing.

After two encounters between Josim and the Fishmen, Natsuhiko thought that he knew the trick of dealing with the scaly monsters, so he asked, "Joshim, you should have figured out the details of the Fishmen just now, how to deal with them?"

"The weakest part of the fish-people's body is the neck, the scales of the whole body make it difficult for the sword to hurt them, and the super physical strength makes them immune to the effects of general damage, and they must cut off their heads with a single blow to be effective. ”

Feeling some discomfort in his feet, he took off his long leather boots and poured out the water inside, and continued: "The tail swing attack is the main thing, and the strongest part of the fish-man's body is the tail, in addition to sharp teeth, their sharp claws are also very sharp, as for the water polo, you have also seen it. ”

After jotting down the essentials, Xia Yan asked for the triangular gun from Xiao Yi and stood on the bow of the boat......

Over the next few hours, they were attacked several times by fish, and thanks to the efforts of Natsuhiko and Joshim, the three of them finally came to the upper reaches of the Yu River, which was surrounded by dense jungle on both sides, and the calm surface of the river was slowly narrowing, and a tunnel shrouded in darkness appeared in front of them......

Josim rowed the boat to the shore near the tunnel, secured the boat to a nearby tree with the rope he carried, and found a compass, flint, grappling hook, and several spare ropes from the items Shoy was carrying.

She threw the whole duffel bag to Joshim, and said, "Take it all, there is still food in it!

"I said I wasn't here to hunt for treasures, what are you bringing all this for?" Xia Yan was completely unruly about Xiao Yi, in his opinion, flints, grappling hooks, and ropes were not useful at all in this trip.

Just then, two fishmen suddenly surfaced on the surface of the river, and the water balls knocked the dinghy over, and Josim threw his twin swords at the two fishmen as fast as he could, piercing their throats, but the dinghy was shattered and could no longer be used......

"Damn!!These bastards!!"

Natsuhiko kicked a piece of wood off and said to Joshim, "Now we can't go back, we can only move forward!

"This is the source of the Yu River, the place called the Motvia Water Vein, and there should be other roads out of here. Joshim retrieved his sword from the fish-man's corpse and returned to Natsuhiko's side.

"It's nonsense...... We still have to move forward, you can lead the way!"

At this time, Xiao Yi laughed and said, "You guys go first!~I'll follow right away~"

"Where are you going, it's safer to walk together...... the two asked her with concern.

"People need to be relieved...... You two big men go away!!" Xiao Yi roared, and the two of them had to enter the dark tunnel in embarrassment...... Soon after, Shoey followed, and the three of them walked in the dark, terrifying at every step, lest a fish-man attack them in the dark. I don't know how long they walked, but they finally saw the light shining in at the end, and the three of them walked quickly to the end, and what appeared in front of them was a completely new scene. Nearby, a stone wall of the aqueduct about a man high was stacked with neat marble to limit the water level, and the water in the aqueduct had reached the knees, and the various aqueducts converged at a drop point in front of them, flowing to the river You outside the channel, and the stone walls of the aqueduct were surrounded by a great rift valley, and at the end of each waterway there was a small stone chamber, and more waterways could be found in the distance, which seemed to be for the passage of visitors.

"Whoa!" Xia Yan and Yoshim jumped directly into the knee-high water, and Xiao Yi also went into the water, but the water level was obviously over her waist, and she kept complaining: "Really! My clothes are all wet, Brother Xia Yan! You have to buy me clothes when you go back!!"

He glared back at Xiao Yi: "I don't remember that I have this obligation, this is what you want to follow, it was good for Old White to come with us." ”

"Hmph! stingy ...... Since I call you big brother, then you are my guardian, stupid!" she angrily stepped aside, and suddenly a fish-man jumped out from under the water, and Xia Yan rushed to the fish-man before he could take out his weapon, and slammed it into the water with a punch before it hurt Shaw, saving Shaw's life.

On the other side, Josim was also attacked, and the two fish-men appeared from the bottom of the water like ghosts, he immediately took a few steps back to open the distance, threw a sword and pierced the head of one of the fishmen, grabbed the other sword and rushed forward to kill the other, turned around and pulled out the sword of the first enemy's head, and slashed it back to the edge of the waterway with both swords, knocking it out of the waterway with a heavy kick, and the fish-man fell directly into the abyss of the Great Rift......

Xia Yan is not skilled in close combat, and he has no advantage at all in hand-to-hand combat with the fishman, but was knocked away by the fishman's tail for several meters, splashing a huge splash on the surface of the water, just when the fishman was about to pursue with his claws, the triangular spear pierced its throat from behind, Xia Yan immediately got up and took out the crescent moon knife from his backpack, and quickly slashed forward and slid through the fishman's body.

The fish-man's body made a crisp sound, Xia Yan immediately moved in front of Xiao Yi, opened his arms to block Xiao Yi behind him, and the fish-man body in front of him instantly spurted out a large amount of blood, which split in two from his waist and fell into the water, Xia Yan blocked this large amount of blood splashed for Xiao Yi, and turned his head: "Thank you, although I don't want to admit it, but you saved me." ”

"Stupid!!It's dirty, go wash it!!" Xiao Yi hurriedly pinched his nose and took a few steps back, the blood of the half-fish man was indeed very smelly, Xia Yan took off the white robe outside, threw it aside, the black vest lined with a small amount of blood was also stained, he washed his face and said: "It's you who don't know how to dodge, I won't help you block it and it's you who turns red now." ”

As the two argued, Josim walked up to them and reminded, "As the river god said, this is the world of the fishmen, and their blue bodies are perfectly integrated with the environment here, so we need to be vigilant." ”

"You don't need to worry about it, just walk behind me. Xia Yan walked in front with a knife, not daring to relax in the slightest, just the two hundred meters from the mouth of the waterway to the first stone chamber, the three of them walked for about a quarter of an hour before they were able to come to the stone chamber safely.

After entering the stone chamber, the three found that it was an open-air space, in addition to the water channel that passed through the room, the walls around it were also carved with a lion's head-shaped water outlet, and the lion's mouth kept flowing into a small water channel on the ground, and then with the nearby water outlet, it flowed to the water channel outside the stone room, and on the other side of the stone room, there was a stone door leading to another water channel......

Shaw ran to a nearby lion's head and said to the two, "This is amazing! It's the same as the legend!~"

"What is the legend, do you know a lot about this place?" asked Natsuhiko.

"This is a super long waterway line around the Bajicht Mountains, the canyon outside belongs to the range of Arukira, in the imperial period, the You River is just an ordinary river, the upstream is often polluted by the corpses of wild beasts or other reasons, so that the people downstream can not draw drinking water, during the Holy Kingdom, the Holy King ordered to build a waterway here to provide the cleanest water source for the people downstream!~"

Joshim exclaimed, "You are so well-informed, do you know where we are going?"

"Wrap it up on me!I'll take you to the end of the Motvia waterway!~" She wiped her nose and looked very proud.

"Cut...... All you need to do is show me the way, I'll clear the way, and Josim will be on guard. Xia Yan sighed, pushed open the stone gate with one palm and came to another waterway, and they were greeted by a team of more than a dozen half-fish people......

"It looks like a tough battle is about to begin. ”

The three of them each took out their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy......
