Chapter 69: The Mouth of the Lake Basin
When the rainy season breaks out or the river is blocked, the river that cannot move smoothly will find another way out, and the water will climb over the rocks, open the piston of the passage outside the Blackleaf Forest, and open another small river channel between the mountains of the Wind Country, this branch will not be shown on the map, because it is only short-lived, and they do not exist on weekdays.
When it will appear and when it will disappear, it is impossible to find out here. But it was an accident, even ordinary rivers sometimes dry up, and without the water, Polinna's magic fails, and it is she who has not thought through and put them in danger.
"I see. Lei Guang and Shi Yu said in unison.
"You don't know?" Broomstick feigned surprise as he moved his gaze from Thunder's mask to the human child before he realized that he was glaring at him fiercely.
"I don't need your comfort. She glared at everyone who thought she was pitiful.
It's really not cute, look at her guilty......
"Instead of doing boring things, worry about your people. β
Their people?
"Polina and Akebo have a contract with the shrine maiden, and even if Akeroku doesn't want to, I can forcibly recall them back to the other world!" and the other two, she doesn't have that ability.
So what is in danger is the innocent Yun Fei, as well as the silver rope that the royal family wants to put to death.
Linββ
Thunder and Thunder turned angrily to Lin.
"I didn't do anything. Lin immediately raised his hand to defend that they were so easily provoked, "In fact, I was cleaning up the river for two days. Beside the former snake, he found the unconscious frog and received a letter from Lord Spitfire. As for throwing important things into the river, I guessed it by your reaction. β
Before Lin could finish speaking, she had already ridden away on a griffin.
"Where to go?"
Where else to go!
After a while, they found another river that had been opened up by the current that entered the border between the two countries and then into the neighboring Stone District.
"Ten days ago, a thousand-year-old tree on the bank of the river ahead suddenly collapsed. It's been several days since this diversion formed. β
The collapsed thousand-year-old tree, the roots of the mud and stone deep into the mountainside, the soil loosened, began to slide down the trunk to the river dumping, coupled with the previous days of heavy rain, finally caused a landslide, the mud and stone lying on the river, the mud and gravel silted up the river, the river was quickly blocked.
Under normal circumstances, Polina should have reached the turn of the Black Leaf Forest, and instead of going deep into the Black Leaf Forest as expected, she would have been sent with the current to the border mountains of the Land of Wind, which borders the Land of Fire. Unfamiliar with the place, Polina did not notice that she had not followed her original plan and had deviated far from her original course.
"Where does the water go?"
"First through the undulating mountain streams deep into the inner forest, wetting the ravines of the pathway, and then reaching the lake basin area of the mountain range, filling the first lake basin for distribution. β
The griffon wanted to cross the rocky area to see what was going on behind the mountain, but as soon as she stepped out, the strange wind that came out of the mountain made her instinctively retreat, and the griffin with her wings folded was about to break in.
"Wait a minute!"
The borders of the Land of the Winds are almost always rugged mountains and heavily defended lines.
She has no faith in what happened today, and time is pressing, so she can't act rashly.
There are many lake basins formed by the extrusion of mountains in this area, which are basically in a state of perennial dryness, and will only be filled up when the rainy season comes, or when there is a situation similar to this one. The rugged mountains on the border of the Land of the Wind are notoriously dangerous, and in addition to the rugged terrain, there are also fugitives hiding in them, and demonic beasts that inhabit them......
"It's just a lake basin full of water, and there's nothing in it, so we're going to pick them up......" She looked up, everyone's faces were obviously not good, "What's in the lake basin?"
"Monster!" the broom approached her eerily.
Lake basins, monsters?
"I heard that there are strange beasts living under the mountains, and the lake basin is like its mouth, and it is hungry and thirsty, and it waits for the lake basin to be filled, and when the lake basin is full of prey that has come to drink, it will feast on it. The broom danced to describe it to her.
Nonsense, yes!
"You're saying that Poreina and they will be killed if they fall into the basin. Why isn't it mentioned in the guide?"It's already the land of another country, and it's not easy for idlers to enter, so at least there should be a lake basin with a warm reminder of piranfish and something like that."
"It's just a legend. In fact, every year, demons and monsters disappear from the borders of various countries, but the relationship between the terrain of the Land of the Wind appears more frequently, and it is impossible to tell whether they are killed, or used as food, or something else. Lin explained.
She preferred to believe that the legend of the Lake Basin Monster was true, and that the area was a natural fortress shared by both countries, and it was unknown whether it was a magical beast or a strange beast, or something unknown.
"The strange wind in the mountains can't fly, so we have to go by land. Thunder and Thunder jumped to the ground at the same time.
She opened the map on the ground, pointed to a simple map of the river in the black-leaved forest with a branch, circled a prominent bend in the river, and handed it to Lin.
"Please add the rest. Then he said to himself, "I made a pact with Polina that we would play here after nightfall." Let's say Polina climbed the channel of the diversion, which could be here now. Her finger rested on the other half of the river where Lin had replenished.
"The slower speed of the water uphill may not make it to the distance they originally planned, but if there is a large drop in the mountains, the water will speed up. Shi Yu changed Bolingna's position again and again.
Will she be able to bring this demon home?
"Can't you reach her?" asked Broom.
It can't be, the rest of the people are silent and absolutely defensive, there is such a flaw in the first place.
At the beginning, I only thought of giving Yun Fei an absolutely safe protective film, and I didn't expect anything else.
"There's no way to find Porena, hidden in the water. Only at the agreed place or at the end of the stream can you know where she is. She pointed to two places, one no longer existing, and the other dead.
"Let's go to the mouth of the lake basin first. "Thunder light refers to the end of the water.
Shi Yu didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and then asked, "What are you doing?"
Then he was smacked hard.
"You're from the water system, after entering the Land of Wind, give me a quick and accurate calculation of the flow rate all the way. β
"Okay, if there's a slight mistake, Bolina will be swallowed directly into the beast's belly. The point is that we can't tell whether it's water or Polingna that flows into the basin. β
Tinny was right.
"Or we can attack the surface of the water and get Borena's attention. Shi Yu proposed.
"It's too loud, and it's even more dangerous to wake up the dangerous elements lurking in the mountains. Lin objected.
"The river is slender and undulating, beyond our attack range, in case the river is too long or branches in two, and there are two lake basins, and there are not enough people. β
Yue didn't look at Lei Guang angrily, so don't guess some ominous things at this time.
Attacking the river? Attacking is not going to work.
"Do you have the confidence to defeat the beasts of the lake basin?
Questioning this, the demons raised their chins and looked contemptuous, which was annoying to see.
"Of course!"
When it comes to fighting, it's exciting?
"It is not feasible to attack the river. She turned back to the sketch on the ground.
There were six of them, two for one river and two for the lake basin...... She shook her head, she couldn't take chances now, and she didn't think too badly. The only thing she could pray for was that Polina hadn't reached the lake basin yet.
"The thunder and rain are here, the thunder and the broom are here......"
They are arranging tasks on their own again, but none of them dare to be dissatisfied, Bolina is her contractor, and the lives of Yun Fei and Yinsuo are in her hands, and they can only hope that she has enough IQ to put the bet on her.
"Attack changed to defense. I hope you're not just good at fighting. She smiled, firm but a little forced.
What does she want to do?
"I will dismiss the summons at the mouth of the lake basin and forcibly send Polina back to the elven realm. β
"So it is, and the clouds will be released from the water. β
They breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but they were immediately retracted by her uneasy solemnity.
"It's not a release, it's a throwaway!"
Surrounded by rocks, they are still asleep and cannot have time to react, and even if they wake up and are suddenly thrown away at high speed, they will be seriously injured.
"We divided into three groups and tried to capture the right river. The moment the spell is removed, there will be a movement on the surface of the water, and I will give you a signal at the same time. The moment the summons are lifted, are you confident that you will be able to catch them in time? There will be no reinforcements this time. β
"Of course, no!" Of course, even if you risk your life, you can't look down on humans and aliens.
They stood up, summoned the beasts, and got ready to go.
"Wait a minute. β
She thought carefully about Tingni, Lei Guang, and Lin for a while, and the two people crossed the distribution, and Chao Lin said, "You come with me." β
Thunder and Rain, Thunder and Broom let go of the beast and ran into the forked river at the same time.
In the second half of entering the river, the wind weakened, Yue changed the birds and beasts of the rain, and Lin tried to keep the two of them in the same pace.
The little kid's expression was a little serious, just rescuing the four people, their abilities were more than enough, she couldn't be so nervous, right?
Lin took a deep breath and stepped forward, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why should I set off with you?"
"Because you are hostile to Yinsuo and have no emotional foundation for Yun Fei and the others. I cannot allow you to stand in our way. He thought she liked it, and he had to cooperate with him if necessary. But in terms of overall strength, he is above them, and he is very familiar with this area.
Sounds infuriating!
"Besides, we still have a deal to do. β
He thought she had given up.
"The five lives of the Ripple and the contract of the thunder light. "Benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted! I worked hard to pull the silver rope out of the door of death, but I didn't let him break it.
"Deal. βγ
"If they make any mistakes, the deal is voided. β
Lin looked at her with a good look in his eyes.
