Chapter 1642: Change of Direction

"Really turned a corner?"

Fengyun looked at the turn in front of him that exceeded forty-five degrees, and his face couldn't help but become a little ugly.

He had already gone to the front to investigate, and this time the direction of the dark river had changed differently from before, and it was really a change of direction.

In the past, there have been cases of dark rivers changing direction, but in most cases, they have been blocked by hard rocks, and after bypassing obstacles, they will basically return to their original direction.

But this time was different, Fengyun faintly sensed that the situation was not good as soon as he saw it, not only did he not see the rocks and other things that had changed the direction of the dark river before, but it was also a worry that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

He was well aware that it was not uncommon for the river to change its direction, and that unless it was dug by hand, there was basically no river that would move straight in one direction.

Therefore, when Fengyun discovered the underground dark river, he was already mentally prepared that it would change the direction of the flow at a certain stage.

Even so, when the course of the river did change, it still made Fengyun feel very frustrated.

There are so many benefits to going underground along the Dark River compared to rushing on the ground, not to mention the food source that will cause the most trouble for the expeditionary force.

If you can walk all the way down the underground river, the remaining soldiers of the expeditionary force will be expected to return to Terran territory.

Of course, there is no risk in going along the underground river, such as the monster that was killed by Fengyun before. If he hadn't discovered them in advance, killed them, and let them do it to the expeditionary soldiers, they would inevitably have been harmed.

But even so, Fengyun still thinks that it is much safer to force along the dark river than to walk on the ground.

"Brother Yun, what's wrong, is there any situation ahead?"

The City Lord of Rock City asked with some uneasiness.

After confirming that there had indeed been a major change in the direction of the Dark River, Fengyun stopped advancing and remained in place, and was soon overtaken by the large force of the expeditionary force.

The city lord of Rock City, who was walking in front of the team, was the first to notice Fengyun, and at the same time, from his expression, he sensed that something seemed to be wrong, and immediately rushed to his side.

"The course of the river has changed. ”

Fengyun told the city lord of Rock City the truth straightforwardly.

"What's this, it's not like it hasn't happened before. ”

The City Lord of Rock City was a little unimpressed at first, but soon his face changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Brother Yun, are you ...... Are you saying that the course of the river has really changed this time?"

"Yes. I've seen it before, and it's really changed. ”

"Could it be that you haven't gone far enough? ”

The city lord of Rock City looked a little unwilling.

He also understands the benefits of walking along the underground river, but if there is a glimmer of hope, he is not willing to let go.

"This ...... All right. You tell everyone to stop first, and we'll go ahead and take a look. ”

Although Fengyun felt that it was not very likely that the city lord of Rock City said that it was not very likely, after discovering that the river had changed direction, he had already walked a long way forward, and he did not find any signs of it changing back, but he was still willing to accompany the city lord of Rock City to investigate again.

"Let's take a break. Brother Yun and I went to the front to take a look. ”

As soon as Fengyun agreed, the city lord of Rock City gave an order to the soldiers of the expeditionary force to rest in place.

"Yes. ”

The soldiers of the expeditionary force immediately stopped, and then dispersed, looking for a suitable place to rest and recover.

Although they have not encountered real danger since entering the underground dark river, they are very clear that if they have not encountered it now, it does not mean that they will never encounter it, and it is very necessary to maintain a good state, otherwise once they are really in danger, they will have no place to cry if they want to.

However, this time it was a little different from the previous situation when the city lord of Rock City let the soldiers of the expeditionary force rest, and the expressions of each of them became serious.

Although the Lord of Rock City had not yet told them the truth, they had already seen the situation of the river turning around, and they instinctively sensed that something might be wrong.

"Brother Yun, let's go. ”

As soon as the city lord of Rock City saw the soldiers of the expeditionary force stop, he seemed a little impatient.

Although he himself knows that the chance of a turnaround is not too great, he understands that there is no benefit in delaying, and if he figures out the state as soon as possible, even if it is a bad outcome, he can find a countermeasure as soon as possible.

"Follow me. ”

Since Fengyun has already walked once, he naturally chose to lead the way.

The two of them walked one after the other, along the riverbank, upstream.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Fengyun suddenly stopped.

"Brother Yun, why don't you leave?"

The city lord of Rock City, who was one position behind Fengyun, saw Fengyun stop, and immediately asked, and came to a position that was level with Fengyun, and looked ahead.

"This is where I visited not long ago, I would like to ask City Lord Yin, is it necessary for us to move on?"

Fengyun told the Lord of Rock City why he had stopped.

"It's necessary, of course it's necessary. If we don't continue our journey, won't we have come in vain?"

The Lord of Rock City said as he took the lead in walking forward.

After hearing Fengyun say that he had already come here last time, to tell the truth, the heart of the city lord of Rock City was a little cold.

He and Fengyun were both quite fast, and although it didn't take much time, they had actually walked quite far along the Dark River.

But until now, he has found no sign of the river changing back.

But if he gave up like this, he was unwilling.

Fengyun didn't say a word, and silently followed behind the city lord of Rock City.

After walking forward for more than a quarter of an hour, nearly twenty minutes, the Rock City Lord himself stopped.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he still understood that the possibility of the river going back was very slim.

After Fengyun told him that they had also arrived at the place where he had last inspected, he had begun to lead the way in front of the head, and since he was eager to know the outcome, the speed was much faster than when Fengyun had led the way, which meant that their wicked men had gone a considerable distance further.

Until now, they found that the change in the direction of the river was still quite small, and if it was like this, they would still insist that the direction of the river would change back, and the city lord of Rock City felt a little self-deceiving.

The Lord of Rock City walked up to a large rock and sat down without saying a word.

Fengyun sat down on another stone not far away, and did not speak, he could understand the mood of the city lord of Rock City, at this time, silence was a better choice.
