Chapter Forty-Eight: The Legend of the Divine Dragon of the Ning Yu River
Fu Lindai's heart unconsciously tensed, he naturally knew that although this fishing boy seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, his real age was only sixteen. Dawn at the age of sixteen, the meaning behind this, as a child of a family and a strong person, he naturally knows it deeply. Could it be that that young man has already reached such an extent of genius? Shi Clan's lineage, after a thousand years, will there be a god-sealing powerhouse?
If this is the case, with the origin of his cousin and the Shi family, he is naturally happy to see it, but the giant boat they are currently riding on is heading towards Kyoto, in Kyoto, where it seems to be extremely prosperous but is actually a tiger's den in Longtan, a sixteen-year-old warrior who has broken dawn will become the target of all forces to kill him quickly!
At this moment, the rod flicked, and a foot-long bamboo leaf trout jumped out of the water!
Under the illumination of the afternoon sun, it emits 10,000 points of golden light!
And the breath that was infinitely close to dawn, and the moment the fish jumped out of the water, it encountered a and suddenly fell silent. Fu Lindai's heart, which hung in his throat, also regained his calm.
Shi Zhiyi hurriedly grabbed the struggling bamboo leaf trout, and shouted towards the top layer of the giant boat: "Yi Ning, take the bait! Brother Zhong Qian, take the bait!"
In the cabin, Lord Yi Ning's face was flushed, and he looked at the dancing figure on the deck below, and whispered: "You just took the bait!"
......
......
After flowing southeast for more than 3,000 miles, the river suddenly widens, and the murmuring water is poured into a huge lake with endless blue waves. This lake is one of the eight scenic spots on the mainland, and the world-famous Ningyu River.
Ningyu River is the largest lake on the whole continent with a radius of more than 1,000 miles, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Wangwu River, and belongs to the junction of Yongzhou and Jingzhou. Legend has it that in ancient times, this was originally a basin, and then it rained for three consecutive months, and after the rain stopped, a lake with blue waves appeared in front of the world, so it was named Ningyu River.
The location of Ningyuchuan belongs to the southeast side of Yongzhou, and belongs to the northwest edge of the Yan Plain. More than 1,000 miles southeast from the Ningyu River, the Forget Worry River joins the Great River and officially becomes one of the countless tributaries along the Great River.
After reaching the Ningyu River, the peaks on both sides of the Wuwu River have gradually disappeared, replaced by an endless vast plain, which is located in the south of the continent, covering the entire middle and lower reaches of the Great River, and the Ningyu River is like a huge and clear spar, inlaid in a corner of the Guiyan Great Plain.
Because it is located in the plain area, it is rare to see strong winds, so the Ningyu River is always a sparkling and calm scene, coupled with the clear and deep water of the lake, the scenery is beautiful, thus creating the reputation of the first lake in the world.
However, the reason why Ningyu River is famous all over the world, in addition to its beautiful scenery, another important reason is the legend of the dragon that has been passed down here for thousands of years.
For more than 10,000 years, every full moon night, some people often see a huge head emerging from the Ning Yu River, like a long whale absorbing water, absorbing the essence of the moon sprinkled on the lake, and some people claim that they have seen a hundred dragons rise from the lake and dance in the sky under the moonlight, and the scene is thrilling and beautiful.
Some people scoff at these legends, but most people believe in them. Therefore, there are often literati who come from far and wide, hoping to see the wonder of the dragon dancing the moon, and among the houses and restaurants around the Ningyu River, countless poems about the moonlit night of the dragon and the dragon have been left behind, but I don't know how much of it is what the literati have seen with their own eyes, and how much of it is what they imagined.
But in the eyes of those families who have been passed down for thousands of years, the existence of the dragon is not a secret. The rise and prosperity of the human race is only a matter of the last tens of thousands of years, and more than 100,000 years ago, there was no demon race at that time, and people living on this continent had to face the biggest threat, in addition to natural disasters, from all kinds of divine beasts and strange beasts.
Divine beasts represented by dragons and phoenixes can be seen everywhere on this continent, they have the most powerful bloodline inheritance, have extraordinary power that changes color in the wind and clouds, and have a long lifespan - all in all, the divine beasts are like the darlings of the heavens, and their bodies have gathered all kinds of unimaginable abilities, even the peerless masters who stand at the top of the human race are often not the opponents of ordinary divine beasts.
Corresponding to the extraordinary abilities possessed by the divine beasts, their perfect bodies - their heads, limbs, muscles and bones, blood, scales and horns, all of which have been baptized by the vitality of heaven and earth and nourished by various genius treasures, have a variety of magical effects and uses, or made into divine weapons, or practiced into divine elixirs, or used to practice exercises to break through the realm, when people found that these powerful and incomparable divine beasts were actually a mobile treasure house, the disaster of the divine beasts began to come.
If it is one-on-one, very few human races can be the opponent of the divine beast, compared to the long growth period of the divine beast, although the strength of the human race has improved more rapidly, but the disadvantage of longevity limits the possibility of the human race to a higher realm.
But hunting is not a competition, people are naturally not stupid enough to rely on their own strength to fight the divine beast alone, but group attacks, ambushes, traps...... Doing everything they can, compared to most lonely beasts, the human race has taken the spirit of "unity and cooperation" to the extreme.
This kind of thing, with the first time, people who have tasted the sweetness will plan the second and third time...... Killing the beasts, arming themselves with blades or elixirs made from their bodies, and then killing more beasts, the balance of power between the human race and the beasts was quickly changed.
At this time, another shortcoming of the divine beast appeared: perhaps in order to pursue balance in the rules of heaven and earth, the reproductive ability of most divine beasts is extremely weak, and a giant dragon, in its tens of thousands of years of life, may only be able to give birth to less than ten children. The speed at which the divine beasts were born in their infancy was far from keeping up with the speed of hunting by the human race, and the traces of many divine beasts disappeared from the continent from then on.
Many of the beasts took refuge in inaccessible places such as the Jade Belt Mountains and the Yinqu Swamp, while others traveled north through the Burial Goose Desert or over the Moyun Plateau to the far west, or into the vast sea in both directions to the east and south in search of new habitats.
In the past 10,000 years, there has been less and less news about divine beasts on the mainland, but there are many strange beasts with some of the bloodlines of divine beasts that have bred in various places and spread out. For example, the Howling Moon Dragon Horse, the mount of the Swinging Moon Dragon Horse in Yunqi City, has a faint trace of dragon blood.
If the god of Ning Yuchuan really exists, then it is very likely that a dragon beast survived by escaping the hunt of the human race tens of thousands of years ago.
