Chapter 621: Stakes
Such a scene looks unremarkable, but Er Niu knows how dangerous it is just now, if Gu Chen didn't throw away the broken wood in his hand in time just now, and was contaminated by this rootless water, then unless he cut off his palm, he would not be able to escape death!
Erniu said in a deep voice, "Gu Chen, what were you thinking just now? How could you lose your mind in this situation? Don't you know how dangerous this is?"
Gu Chen nodded faintly, "I just suddenly thought of something. ”
"What's the matter?"
"You said that this rootless water is the water ancestor of the five elements, and it has the power to isolate all laws. ”
"That's right, the rumors are true, and as you can see, within the confines of this rootless water, there is indeed no power outside the body. ”
"So I just thought of one thing, since this rootless water can isolate ten thousand laws, then, can we make the Heavenly Dao also ....... ”
Gu Chen's words were halfway through, but he already understood what Er Niu meant.
"This ...... I'm not sure, after all, the Heavenly Dao is the strongest in the world, and the Dao power contained in her body is definitely extraordinary, so I don't know if the rootless water is useful to him. ”
Gu Chen slowly twisted his fingers, "Whether it is useful or not, you can try it, if it is useful, then there is one more card, but what is more difficult now is that there seems to be nothing that can be used to hold rootless water." ”
"Also, rootless water can melt everything, this idea, you just think about it, if you really want to implement it, it's too unrealistic. ”
Gu Chen nodded, "Wait and see, there may be a turnaround, but before that, we have to wait for the old cow and them to come down, in case they don't know the power of this rootless water, it will be troublesome." ”
After saying this, Gu Chen put one hand behind his back and the other hand in front of his chest, like a monarch who was weighing national affairs, and fell silent.
Time passed little by little, I don't know how long it had passed, about half a day, the sound of climbing came from the top of Gu Chen's head, he looked up, and he could already see the figures of the four old cows.
The eyes that radiated red light were like a sign, and Lao Niu's deep voice came from above, "Old Gu, how is the situation below, is there any danger?"
Lao Niu asked, Gu Chen immediately knew that he was afraid that he was tired of climbing, this height could not threaten his safety, if the answer was that there was no danger below, I was afraid that he would jump down.
Gu Chen said, "Be careful, it's dangerous down there, and if you make a slight mistake, you'll die!"
Hearing that Gu Chen's tone didn't seem like a joke, Lao Niu couldn't help but mutter, "Damn, if you have this little distance left, you still have to climb down in a proper manner." ”
After a cup of tea, the four of them landed safely, and climbed for most of the day, making the old cow gasp a little roughly, he glanced at the slowly flowing river in front of him, and just wanted to step forward to wash his face, but was stopped by Gu Chen;
Lao Niu couldn't help but be stunned: "Why?"
Gu Chen didn't answer, and directly kicked a wooden block under his feet into the water, and then under the gaze of the five people, the wooden block was melted to the ground.
Gu Chen said, "Erniu said, this water may be rootless water, can isolate ten thousand laws, not only that, but it can also dissolve everything, if you accidentally touch a little, then the whole person will be dissolved, so, don't touch this river, if you accidentally contaminate, you must decisively cut off." ”
Hearing Gu Chen's words, the three sisters Lao Niu and Niu Yun couldn't help but glance at each other, "I wipe, a river, it's so terrifying, fortunately we didn't jump down before, there is only such a little position on this bank, if you jump down before, you will definitely step into the water, it is really a death wrong." ”
Gu Chen looked around to the left and right, but it was pitch black under this deep valley, and he couldn't see the end on the left and right, and he couldn't help but say, "Niu Yun, do you know where your army walked when it crossed here back then?"
"It's ....... Niu Yun looked at it in embarrassment, and said, "I can't be sure about this, after all, I haven't personally experienced what happened back then, and I just heard rumors about this secret thing." ”
Lao Niu interjected, "Gu Chen, what are you asking for?"
"I'd like to find out how your Bull Clan crossed this rootless river. ”
"Hey, this, you're looking for me. The old cow patted his chest in a big way.
Gu Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes; "You know?"
"I don't know, but I have oni vines. As he spoke, Er Niu took out the ghost vine with a smile on his face and said, "The bottom of this deep valley is much narrower than the top, and we can use the ghost vine to climb over." ”
Gu Chen shook his head, "I didn't mean that, of course I know that you have a ghost vine, what I'm looking for now is not a way to get there." ”
Lao Niu couldn't help but be stunned: "Then what are you looking for?"
"Opportunity, an opportunity that may not exist at all. Gu Chen muttered.
Hearing this, the four of them couldn't help but look confused, what kind of opportunity?
Erniu's voice sounded in Gu Chen's mind, "Gu Chen, do you want to find something that can restrain the rootless water?"
When Gu Chen said the word opportunity, Er Niu knew what he was looking for.
When the Barbarian Bull Clan crossed here, it must have used some means, maybe it was a ghost vine, crossing in the air, or maybe it was something that rootless water could not dissolve, just like a wooden stake inserted in the water, stepping on, after all, the rootless water here is only the depth of a palm, and what Gu Chen is looking for is the 'wooden stake' that may exist.
Gu Chen nodded slowly, "You know, if this rootless water is really useful to the Heavenly Dao, it will definitely become a big hole card for us, now that we are here, I can't miss this opportunity, if it exists, then even if it is worth wasting some time here." ”
Hearing Gu Chen say this, Erniu applauded, "That's right, since we are all here, then we really shouldn't miss this opportunity." ”
Gu Chen looked at the four old cows behind him with a blank face, and said, "If you are in a hurry, you can also cross over first, remember to leave the ghost vine behind, otherwise I will be trapped here." ”
"Joke, what time are we in a hurry, listen to you, then we will look here for clues to the crossing of the Barbarian Bull Clan. ”
With Lao Niu's words, Gu Chen measured left and right, and then finally walked to the right.
The rootless water came from right to left, and he put himself in his shoes, if it was him, then he would choose to look for an easier opportunity to pass through from the upstream, for no reason, just the feeling in his heart.
Because the rootless water fills the deep valley, in some places, the shore only has a foothold of about a foothold, or even narrower, so Gu Chen and his party did not go fast, and even some particularly narrow places, Lao Niu and others had to climb the rock wall to cross, and the speed was extremely slow.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was three days, during which there were no accidents, and the distance that Gu Chen and his party walked in these three days was only about 100 miles, after all, they had to be extra cautious here, because any power here could not be exerted, and if there was an accident, they would be no different from ordinary people.
"Three days have only gone for a hundred miles, and there is no end in sight to the deep valley this day, Gu Chen, if you really want to find it, I am afraid that the delay will greatly exceed your expectations, and even, it is not impossible to spend half a year and a year. ”
Erniu's voice sounded in Gu Chen's mind, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes, in fact, he knew that the time that Erniu said was still a conservative time, if they really wanted to find it, with the current speed, not to mention anything for half a year and a year, or even maybe three or five years, after all, their current speed is too slow, and there will be a danger of touching the water at any time.
Suddenly, Lao Niu said, "Old Gu, what are we looking for, if we go on like this, when will it be a head, it is better to go directly to the opposite side and find the cave, so it is more convenient." ”
Lao Niu's unintentional words made Gu Chen squint his eyes, yes, they can also go to the other side to find it, as long as they find the cave, then near Fang Yuan, they will definitely be able to find some clues that the Barbarian Bull Clan crossed back then, and on this side of the shore, the clues are small after all, and it is even very likely to be missed.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen was just about to talk about the other side, when suddenly, the corners of his eyes narrowed sharply.
Gu Chen looked at the water surface dozens of feet ahead, slowly licked his lips, and said, "Don't bother so much, I've found it." ”
"Found it?" The old cow was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed Gu Chen's line of sight, only to find that on the water surface dozens of feet ahead, wooden stakes that were the width of a palm appeared on the surface of the water, and spread to the invisible depths on the opposite bank.
Seeing this, Lao Niu couldn't help but wrinkle his forehead, "Strange, Old Gu, didn't you say that this rootless water can melt everything?
Gu Chen shook his head slowly, "There are no absolutes in the world, these black stakes are probably the existence that can restrain this rootless water, let's go." ”
Gu Chen didn't say bluntly that these black wooden stakes were exactly what he was looking for, and he took the lead in moving forward, just a distance of dozens of zhang, and only stopped when Gu Chen and his party came to this black wooden stake.
Looking in the direction of the spread of the black stakes, it stretched to the end of the darkness that I couldn't see, and I didn't know what kind of scenery was behind the darkness.
Lao Niu said: "Old Gu, how do I feel that these wooden stakes are so unreliable, in case they fall out of balance, they will be in trouble, I don't think they are as safe as the ghost vine."
Gu Chen glanced at Lao Niu and said, "If your ghost vine is safe, then use the ghost vine, but you must pay attention to safety." ”
"What about you?"
"I'm going to take these stakes because my balance is fine. When Gu Chen spoke, the corners of his mouth smiled slyly, and then he stepped on it.
Lao Niu's face was black, because he didn't expect Gu Chen to expose his old bottom, that is, his balance ability was really not good.
In fact, it was not Gu Chen who wanted to expose him, but Lao Niu himself revealed it, saying such things to Gu Chen, how could Gu Chen not know the reason?
