Chapter 61: The Swamp

I'll go out to run errands for a while.,The 12 o'clock chapter was sent first.。 It's the first place on the list of new books now, and I hope I can keep this result this week, thank you for the flowers to me, the pig will work harder.

**********************

"This is probably done by filling the true qi in the bright spots of the whole body." Mo Lin guessed, "It's a pity that I can't see the trajectory of his true qi, otherwise I can steal a lot of things." ”

Of course, Yang Li didn't know what Mo Lin was thinking, and he didn't slow down because Mo Lin was just a craftsman. He walked quickly, leaving Mo Lin behind, and soon only a vague figure in the heavy rain remained.

"What's the big deal." Mo Lin also quickened his pace, and at the same time mobilized the true qi in his body.

True qi flowed in the veins and filled the bright spots, but Mo Lin was not familiar with the bright points, and wanted to use the bright points to evenly distribute the weight of the body like Yang Li, but the technique was not skilled enough, and when he fell down, he splashed the mud spots all over his body.

Mo Lin looked at the muddy straw sandals, knowing that he was still far from Yang, so he could only sigh and follow honestly quickly.

In the heavy rain, a mountain valley appeared not far away, between the hazy rain line, you can see two peaks Zhuo Li, leaving a narrow passage in the middle, on a mountain wall, Mo Lin saw three red characters "a line of sky".

The rain was pouring down, and the mountains were very steep, Mo Lin looked up, and the two peaks were like stormy waves, and on the mountains, those green trees and green grass were soaked in smoke and rain, giving people a feeling like they were in a dream.

Yang Li stopped in front of the peak, and Mo Lin followed, hearing a "rumbling" sound in his ears.

"There's a mudslide ahead." Mo Lin immediately judged that this must be too much rain, washing away the soil that fixed the rocks, causing the rocks to roll down.

Yang Li shook his head and said, "It seems that I can't go." ”

"Not necessarily." Mo Lin smiled, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

Braving the heavy rain, the two walked into the path, which was narrow enough to be the width of a self-propelled car. Mo Lin looked up, and the sky above his head was really only a line wide, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The name given by the ancients is really appropriate, it deserves to be a line of sky." ”

Most of the pavement on the first line of the sky is paved with bluestone, although the rain is very heavy, and there is continuous rain washing down the mountain walls on both sides, forming a series of small waterfalls, but it is not muddy.

He hadn't gone far before Mo Lin saw a pile of rubble rolling down from the mountain blocking the road ahead.

Mo Lin looked up at the top of the mountain, put his ear on the cliff and listened for a while, he didn't feel the vibration, and made sure that there would be no more mudslides for a while, so he walked to the gravel to check with confidence.

"It's blocked, and it looks like there's no way to get through." Yang Li said lightly, "I can only take a detour." ”

"What the ink artist can't do, the craftsman doesn't necessarily have." Mo Lin shook his head and said.

"Do you have a way to dig it up?" Yang Li's tone was marked with obvious disbelief.

"As long as the rain stops, there's a way." Mo Lin grabbed a handful of gravel in his hand, glanced at Yang Li proudly, and said that genius is nothing more than that.

The two returned the same way, and Mo Lin went straight to find Ling Huzi and told her about the situation on the road ahead.

"This is the nearest road, and if you take a detour, it will be delayed for more than ten days." Ling Hu Zi frowned.

"You don't have to take a detour, but you'll lend me some tools." Mo Lin said.

"Take whatever." Linghu Zi was also anxious about the date of his return trip, and seeing Mo Lin's confident appearance, he naturally entrusted everything to him.

Mo Lin opened a few wooden boxes, took out a few goods purchased by the soldiers, and quickly disassembled them into parts.

"What are you going to do?" Linghu Zi curiously came to Mo Lin's side, she had learned craftsman skills in the Ink Village for a year, but she still didn't know what Mo Lin wanted to do.

"If you want to dig a road, of course, you have to have tools, and if you don't have a hand right now, you can make one yourself." Mo Lin said lightly, placing the parts in front of him and gesturing, and then clinking them together in a hurry.

A moment later, a strange machine appeared in Mo Lin's hand, with three iron blades at one end and a hollow iron box swaying up and down at the other.

"How does this work?" Fox Zi was quite interested, and the purple eyes flashed with sparks of curiosity.

"You'll find out later." Mo Lin smiled and said to Guan Zidao.

The heavy rain gradually stopped, and although it did not stop completely, only the rain was like a broken thread.

"I'll dig the road, and you're ready to go." Mo Lin saw that it was about the same time and jumped out of the driveway.

Seeing Mo Lin leaving with that strange tool, Ling Hu Zi and Yang Li both had complicated emotions in their eyes, and they quickly put away the canopy, started the self-propelled car, bypassed the puddle on the road, and headed for the sky.

The self-propelled car is one of the genius inventions of the Mo family, as long as the machine is started, it can make the wooden car walk automatically, which is not only more convenient than the animal-powered car, but also saves food and will not get tired, and there are different types of wheels that cross various terrains, which is very practical.

Under the command of Yang Li and Luo Qianqian, the three self-propelled vehicles quickly crossed the muddy area and came to the first line of heaven. Luo Qianqian and Ling Huzi walked at the front of the team as guides, and along the way, rainwater flowed down from the cliffs on both sides, forming waterfalls on one side of the other.

"How is Mo Lin going to dig a road?" Luo Qianqian thought in her heart, her pace quickened, and the blocked road gradually appeared in front of her.

When she came to the front and saw Mo Lin working, Luo Qianqian couldn't help but be stunned.

Mo Lin stood in front of the gravel with his arms crossed, not moving at all, and the strange machine he had pieced together was nodding vigorously, and with each nod, the three iron blades swept away the gravel and dirt.

Luo Qianqian and Ling Huzi came closer, and then they saw the principle.

It turned out that on the cliff next to the gravel pile, there happened to be a waterfall formed by the rainwater and hit it with great force. The iron box at the end of the machine is placed under the waterfall, and when the water flows down and fills the iron box, the iron box sinks, and the iron rod connected to it presses the iron blades, allowing the iron blades to work, sweeping away the rubble and dirt.

This is equivalent to a set of mechanical devices that conduct hydraulic power, and can operate automatically without any effort on the part of Mo Lin. Because of the strong current, the machinery is working very fast, and a large area of rubble has been cleared.

Yang Li walked from the back of the team and saw the scene in front of him, his face showed surprise. But he looked up at the waterfall flowing down the cliff and said, "There is a lot of rubble left, what if the water is insufficient?" ”

Mo Lin glanced at him and said, "Please believe my calculations." Maybe you're a genius in combat, but I'm more professional than you in this kind of craftsman's work. ”

Yang Li stopped making a sound, but Luo Qianqian glared at Mo Lin, a little blaming Mo Lin for being unkind to Yang Li in his words.

Sure enough, just as Mo Lin expected, before the waterfall disappeared, his improvised tools had cleared a path between the rubble on the road that was large enough for a self-propelled car to pass.

The wheels of the self-propelled car pressed on the remaining small stones, making a sound of "kala cara ......", and Mo Lin had replaced the new wheels for the self-propelled car that suited the road conditions, so the journey was very smooth.

Walking out of the first line of sky, the eyes suddenly opened up, but the distance was densely covered with haze and fog.

"Mo Lin, there is a swamp ahead, you remember to change the car to the wheels in the swamp." Linghu Zi followed.

"The Swamp?" Mo Lin was slightly stunned, "Is that the swamp where demon beasts gather?" His gaze fell on the mist in the distance.

Ling Huzi nodded: "It's the big swamp you know." ”

Mo Lin remembered that when he was in school in the Ink Academy, Teacher Qin Qin once introduced the swamp in the south, and it is said that after the dragon slaying heroes killed the brutal red dragon, the demon beasts under the red dragon fled into the swamp to hide.

It is said that the Everglades are overgrown with grass and are full of rotten and bottomless mud pools. The depths of the swamp have been shrouded in a pink miasma for many years, and there is no way for humans to survive in it without poison protection. Because of these reasons, humans have not been able to completely eliminate the demon beasts in it. And the demon beasts are also afraid of the warriors of the Seven Great Families, and they only haunt the swamps and do not appear in the areas of human activities.

Seeing that Mo Lin's face had changed slightly, Ling Huzi smiled and said, "What, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm not afraid." Mo Lin was inexplicably looked down upon by Ling Huzi, and immediately retorted. After all, he had killed an ice spider by himself, and now that he had learned to pounce on the mongoose, he was even more bold, wishing that an eyeless demon beast would appear, so that he could test his newly learned skills.

"Don't worry, in the past fifty or sixty years, no one has seen a demon beast in the Everglades area. They may have starved to death in there. Linghu Zi said jokingly.

Mo Lin saw that Ling Huzi seemed to know a lot of rumors about the swamp, and asked her with great interest, Luo Qianqian also blinked her eyes widely, listening to Ling Huzi tell the legends and stories of demon beasts.

Not far away, Mo Lin felt that the air was getting more and more humid, and it seemed that he could grab a handful of water droplets in the air as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"It's so humid." Mo Lin sniffed, smelling the smell of rotting leaves wafting through the air.

"It's almost time for a wheel change." Linghu Zidao.

Mo Lin beckoned the team to stop, and took out the accessories specially designed for walking on the swamp from the wheel box under the self-propelled car, and these parts were unfolded into wooden planks, and Mo Lin put them on the wheels, as if he had replaced the self-propelled car with four big feet.

"Is that okay?" Ling Huzi couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw that the so-called accessories were just large and flat wooden planks on the wheels, and there was nothing special about them.

"Don't underestimate these planks." Mo Lin smiled, "They can spread the weight of the self-propelled car and prevent the car from sinking into the mud." ”

Ling Huzi still has a lot of trust in the Mo family's mechanical ability, especially Mo Lin's excellent craftsman's side along the way, which also makes her have to be convinced. So seeing the confident smile on Mo Lin's face, Ling Huzi waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”
