Chapter 117: The Waterway
The staircase leading to the lake is paved with white marble strips ten meters long and half a meter wide, just long and wide enough for anyone to stand on.
It should be on a snow-white staircase, but it is covered with sauce-red spots, and those spots are blood spots after blood clotting.
In addition to the spots, there are some rotting corpses on the stairs, and unlike the plank path, there are not only dwarf corpses, but also some green goblin corpses.
Compared to the corpses of dwarves stripped of their clothes, the corpses of the goblins were a bit dignified to die, at least, they died in their clothes.
On both sides of the stairs, there are two long flower beds, which make Wang Xu feel ironic that the people who planted the flowers are dead, but the flowers in the flower beds are blooming luxuriantly.
The faint scent of flowers and the thick smell of rancid smell permeated the surrounding air, so that everyone in the team who smelled this smell felt a little sad, and even, some sensitive people, would feel that dying on the edge of the flower bed might be the best place for those dwarves, at least, they were not eaten, and they were not dismantled.
After walking down the stairs for less than ten meters, you will reach the lake, which originally had no lake, but because the Singil Dam was dug up by the coalition forces of the dark forces, the water of the El River filled the valley where Caton City was located, and it became a lake.
Standing on the edge of the lake, Wang Xu looked into the distance, and he found that the area of this lake is not too large, and the plank road on the opposite bank is only five or six kilometers away from here, and the lake is not too deep, about five meters deep. Through the shimmering clear water, Wang Xu could vaguely see the goblin buildings at the bottom of the lake.
To everyone's sigh. There were many goblin corpses floating on the surface of the lake, as it wasn't too long before they died. In addition, there are not many goblins in the city, so those corpses are all floating there in isolation like duckweed, as if they are isolated islands.
Although he could see the plank road on the mountain on the opposite bank, Wang Xu felt that since the terrain here had changed, it had changed from a valley to a lake. So, why do you want to go along the dangerous plank road on the mountain, it is better to go directly to the waterway, taking the waterway is not only safe, but also labor-saving, and you can see the surrounding mountain scenery, why not.
Wang Xu, who had a new plan, squinted at the four Nilou girls standing on his left, and then turned his head to look at old Warren standing on his right. He suggested loudly: "Why don't we take the waterway, so that everyone doesn't have to waste their energy climbing the mountain, don't you think?"
"Do you know how to walk the waterway? What if I get lost?" Before old Warren could speak, Livka, who was standing on his right, looked at Wang Xu. Ask aloud, "Do you have a boat?"
Listening to Livka's words, old Warren looked at Wang Xu and nodded slightly. With a puzzled look on his face, it was obvious. These are the questions that old Warren also wanted to ask.
"The boat is not a problem, I can do it later, but I really don't know about the waterway, after all, this lake has just been formed, and I have to see where it leads. Wang Xu furrowed his brows and replied to Livka.
After finishing speaking, Wang Xu casually took out his flying sword from the backpack system and threw it out.
The flying sword made by Mithril was suspended at Wang Xu's feet against the surface of the lake, and under the light of the morning sun, which was not too dazzling, the Taoist runes engraved on the body of the flying sword more than one meter long were shining with colorful light, which made everyone except Wang Xu feel that this flying sword was too beautiful, with an indescribable beauty on it, both desolate and ancient, and lively fashion, as for the runes engraved on it, what it meant, they didn't know.
"I'll go with you," when she saw Wang Xu stepping on the flying sword and preparing to take off, Nilou suddenly spoke, and she didn't care whether Wang Xu agreed or not, so she flew up directly, and said to Wang Xu again: "Let's go!"
After shaking her head helplessly, Wang Xu looked at Nilou with a wry smile, and in an instant, Nilou understood the meaning of Wang Xu's expression, so she added: "I was afraid that you would be in danger, and I followed you with good intentions!"
If Nilou didn't say this, then Wang Xu would only feel a little embarrassed, but after Nilou said this, Wang Xu felt a big loss of face.
Nilou's words made Wang Xu feel that he was a soft eater, and he still needed a woman to protect him, and even his own woman looked down on him a little and regarded himself as a child.
Wang Xu wanted to go crazy, but suddenly, he found that Zhana had also summoned a giant skeleton bat, and was about to follow him.
So, at that moment, Wang Xu realized that in the eyes of his own woman, he was just a vulnerable weakling.
After sighing helplessly, the anger in Wang Xu's chest disappeared, and he gave up resistance, because he reluctantly found that if he really wanted to talk about strength, then he was really not as good as the two of them.
Despite this, Wang Xu still prevented Zana from following him, the reason was that there was still a need to take care of it here, and a strong man must be left, and Zana was the most suitable, and as a result, Zana also agreed with Wang Xu's opinion, put away the skeleton bat, and stayed on the ladder.
After getting Zana done, Wang Xu flew up twenty meters in the air with a flying sword, looking down at the newly formed lake below, and Nilou, who followed Wang Xu, also looked down at the scene below.
At this time, Wang Xu realized that in fact, Caton City was not too small, it was larger than the Hill City he built, which was only the size of two football fields, at least twice as large.
At this moment, Wang Xu, who was in a high place, clearly saw that the entire Caton City was soaked in water, and most of the buildings in the city were square buildings with domes, all at the bottom of the lake five or six meters underwater, and some high-rise buildings such as magic towers were exposed.
In less than a minute, Wang Xu circled the entire lake, and he found that the lake could lead to the lower reaches of the Eyre River, and if he took a boat along the El River to the north, then he could save at least half the time to get to the dwarven pits.
Seeing the course of action, Wang Xu led Nilou down from the sky and back down the stairs, and then he shouted to the crowd, "We can take a boat along the El River, then we can save half the time, and at noon, we will reach the dwarven pit." ”
"Where's the ship?" said Livka again, the question she had just asked.
"Here!" was a little angry when Livka scolded, and after Wang Xu replied with a slight anger, he raised his right palm, palm side up, and in the palm of his palm, there was a thumb-large, black spherical seed...... (To be continued.) )
