On the clear surface of the lake, a large raft breaks through the waves and moves smoothly on the lake at high speed. The area of the raft www.biquge.info is very large, enough to carry the weight of seven people plus all the equipment, theoretically speaking, the raft of this shape of the ferry, although the carrying capacity is higher, but it is often more bulky on the water, it is difficult to operate very smart, but the raft in front of you is very special, driving and steering on the lake is still fast and flexible, just like a light boat.

In fact, this is due to the special construction of the raft, which, according to Panis, comes from the shipbuilding skills of the land-dwellers of the Sea Country, which allows them to easily travel between the countless islands in the navigation area of the Sea Country. The upper part of the raft is no different from that of a normal raft, cutting down a few waist-thick gray-blue trees, which are lighter and make a good material for rafts or boats. The cut down gray and blue tree trunk is cut into sections every five meters, and each section is built into a cylindrical horizontal side-by-side, so that the length of the raft is close to eight meters, and then every other meter, all the wood will be passed along the center of the section with a metal cable, and then the two ends are fixed, forming a raft eight meters long and five meters wide, the only special thing is that the timber of other rafts should follow the direction of progress, so that it is convenient to travel, and the expedition team used this is just the opposite, each piece of wood is perpendicular to the direction of progress, which makes people feel very strange when they look at it。

However, it doesn't really matter whether it is vertical or horizontal, because the most critical part is the lower half of the raft. While everyone was working together to make the raft, Pannis singled down a 60-meter-tall badger tree, which was often more than a meter thick in diameter and very heavy in wood, and it took a lot of effort to bring back three eight-meter-long sections of the badger tree with Pannis's strength.

So, after spending two hours panting and fixing the raft with holes, they looked back to find that Pannis had cut out three eight-meter-long pointed-bottom boats with his one-handed sword, only the bottom half of the boat, of course. The bottom of three hollow pointed bottom boats is fixed under the raft in the left, middle and right, and a large raft in the style of the Sea Country Casa is made, although this kind of raft looks very similar to an ordinary raft, but in fact, the upper wooden shelf almost does not touch the water surface, and there are only three pointed bottom boats that bear the surface resistance, so that whether it is forward or turning, it can be flexibly carried out under the control of Pannis.

"This raft looks simple, but it actually requires a lot of skill to control it, and it's not so easy to get them to go in the direction you want, it's easy to deviate from the direction. "Standing at the end of the raft, holding a tree trunk at least the thickness of a wrist, with a slight support in the water, the raft scurries forward like an arrow, facing the wind, Pannis explains:" I was very curious about their ferries during my time in the Sea Country, so I deliberately learned this kind of boat holding technique, but my skills are still far behind, if I let the people of the Sea Country support the boat, the speed can be at least a third faster, and I don't have to worry about the twisted soul of hitting the lake, those land ferrymen, can control the huge raft as flexible as their own fingers. ”

"I think it's going to be fast now. The maidens all sat on the raft, and even Dilly the manticore-tailed lion lay on the bow of the boat, but even with the pressure of all the equipment, the raft did not touch the water under the support of the bottom of the three boats. Catherine rubbed her aching wrist and said, "If it's faster, I'm worried that I won't have time to see the bottom of the lake." ”

In fact, not only Catherine, but every girl was tired, and it was impossible for even a group of legendary professionals to build such a huge raft in two hours. However, despite her exhaustion, Catherine was tasked with observing the lake, along with Freya and Dilly the Manticore.

Someone has to watch what's going on below the surface because it's not calm in the lake. In this forbidden land, although there are no creatures in the lake, there are a large number of twisted souls, for these beings, the lake is not an obstacle, they float in the lake like floating in the air, undulating like a floating corpse in the water.

Theoretically, as long as these twisted souls are not half exposed on the surface of the lake, they will not pose a threat to the passing expeditions, but they are not fixed, they will always twist up and down, left and right, maybe one of the twisted souls will suddenly float up from the water and crash head-on into the raft that just happened to pass by, so the three of them all stared at the lake for fear of missing something. “

"Actually, the chance of a twisted soul popping up and hitting one of us is too small. Pannis said as he propped up the boat: "Although there are many twisted souls, the lake is also a big exaggeration, and there are not many scattered to each location, and even fewer can just come out and crash into us." ”

"How dare you set a flag, bastard Kyle. Dilly roared in displeasure, "If you really get into trouble, I'll throw you off the boat." ”

"Throw it down, are you holding the boat?" said Pannis, pouting and rolling his eyes, "Actually, if it weren't for these annoying twisted souls, this lake would have felt very comfortable." ”

Indeed, after experiencing the sultry heat of the Forest of Death, suddenly came to an open lake, enjoyed the cool wind and fresh air, let the sun shine on the body, dispelled the dampness that had been wrapped around the body, looked around, the eyes were full of craggy waves, at a glance, it was no longer the trunk and crown that obscured the view, but the endless open water, such a feeling, for people who have been running in the extremely dense death forest for more than half a month, it is almost irresistible, especially the clear lake water, people can't help but want to jump down to wash their body that has become sticky, but unfortunately, the existence of the twisted soul, so that this desire can only stay in the wish stage forever.

"Actually, I'm weird. Lina stared at the lake and asked curiously: "Pannis, you see, there are no creatures in the lake, no, it should be said that there are no animals, it stands to reason that in such waters, because there are no animals to eat, they should be overgrown with aquatic plants, and it is impossible to be as clear as now." In the current lake, there are not only no aquatic plants, but also duckweed, which is obviously not normal. ”

"There have been people who have had such doubts. Pannis suddenly lay on the raft, avoiding a low-altitude twisted soul, and then said, "Vivien should know." ”

"Well, it's true, it's probably more than four hundred years ago, when Mr. Hughes was alive, there was a human powerhouse who was about the same strength as Mr. Hughes, and he once explored the Lake of the End. Vivien climbed to the edge of the raft, reached out and picked up a handful of water, put it to her nose and sniffed it, and explained, "He must have had the same doubts as Lina, so he brought back a jar of water, hoping that the scholars could explain the secret of the scarcity of water in the Lake of End." ”

"What is the result?" Lina's eyes began to light up, and she asked hurriedly, "I should have found the answer." ”

"Well, there are results. Vivien nodded, "Scholars believe that the sample he brought back still has a large amount of earth fire stone in it, and it may have been many, many years ago, there was a ground fire eruption here. The lake water contains 7.5 percent dissolved flint, 28 percent acidic flint, and ...... metal content."

"Stop, stop, stop. Lina raised her hand with a headache, stopping Vivien's increasingly excited explanation, "Say something I understand, what you're saying now doesn't do anything other than make me feel more confused." ”

"Well, anyway, you should understand that this lake is very special. Being interrupted by Lina made the mage girl lose interest all of a sudden, and her head raised because of excitement also drooped, and she said weakly: "This kind of water is very unsuitable for plant growth, most plants cannot survive in water, but it is not without exceptions. ”

"Exceptions, for example?" asked Lina, "I don't see any plants." ”

"No, you can't fail to see it, unless you're not just stupid, you're blind. Vivien ignored the priest's angry gaze and pointed behind the direction of travel, "Those reeds are." ”

"Ah, I forgot. Lina patted her bald head in annoyance and said, "Those are indeed plants." ”

"It's not just them, but if you look at the bottom of the lake, you can see that there are occasionally mosses and things like that, and those are plants. Vivien beckoned, and Lina slowly climbed to the edge of the raft, the two girls together were not as heavy as Catherine, who was fully equipped, so there was no need to worry about the center shifting. The girls poked their heads out, and Vivien pointed to the bottom of the lake and said, "Look, there's a bunch of blue ones over there, and there's a bunch of purple ones over there, no, it's not the one you're referring to, you're referring to a twisted soul, quite far away from it, yes, yes, that's it, it's like you can find them nearby, oh, and the black one over there, huh, no, Eagle Eye, that's not a plant, Pennis, can you stop the boat?"

Vivien jerked up from the raft, but luckily she was short enough to do anything without worrying about her twisted soul floating overhead. The mage girl pointed to the bottom of the lake and said to Pannis: "Come and see, I'm afraid I'm wrong, it seems to be a ......"

The mage girl's sudden excitement startled everyone, and the wooden pole in Pannis's hand clicked a few times in the water, so that the raft stopped in a safe position, walked over and looked at the girl's finger for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "You are indeed not mistaken, it is indeed not a plant, it seems to be a ...... Backpack?" (To be continued.) )
