Chapter 52: The Strange River

Soon, night came.

After Li Tai'an and the others moved into the room, no one from Zhaojiazhuang came to disturb them.

From beginning to end, no one showed up.

In this regard, Li Tai'an and they are also happy, after all, what they do is more dangerous, and it is also a good thing to be able to involve a little less ordinary people.

Taking advantage of the night, Li Tai'an and Lin Yunbo quickly rushed to the direction they remembered this morning.

The reason why he brought Lin Yunbo was because his hiding skills were indeed terrifying.

After he joined Li Tai'an and their trip, Rouge and Yellow Dog also sensed Lin Yunbo's breath many times.

But in the end, they all failed.

Only Li Tai'an can accurately discover Lin Yunbo's location.

The two quickly came to the east side of the village, and they didn't find any villagers along the way.

Although there is no curfew, the night in the countryside is always exceptionally peaceful.

But all the way to the senses, the strange beast record in Li Tai'an's arms never reacted.

Ever since he entered the village, there was a slight tremble, and for the rest of the time, the alien beast record was very quiet.

The woods are very deep, but fortunately, Li Tai'an and the two of them are following the traces left by the villagers during their sacrifices, so there will be no mistakes.

The surrounding trees are stout, each one about a few decades old.

On a summer night, there would be a lot of cicadas in such a place.

But the hot weather affects more than just humans.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Tai'an and Lin Yunbo did not have any other sounds except for their own voices.

When the traces of following disappeared, Li Tai'an and the two stopped.

The trees here are not as dense as in other places, and looking at the brand new tree stumps, this should have been cut down by the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang recently.

The purpose should be to prepare for the sacrifice.

It's just that when he got here, the strange beast record in Li Tai'an's arms still didn't have any reaction.

Lin Yunbo patted Li Tai'an's shoulder and pointed in the direction ahead.

Then they saw a quiet river, very spacious and well-watered, with no sign of drying up at all.

"No wonder they want to worship the river god, it turns out that there is such a river here, and it is indeed very strange to be able to ensure so much water in this situation." Lin Yunbo was surprised.

But Li Tai'an frowned and said, "Do you remember the scene of the villagers in Zhaojiazhuang today?" ”

Lin Yunbo nodded, and after eating, he and Li Tai'an went out for a walk.

At that time, it was also a meal, so many villagers had just started cooking.

But there were few that really lit the smoke, Li Tai'an and Lin Yunbo looked at them one by one, and most of the villagers were very thin.

That's the mark that hunger has left on them.

The skin is wrapped in bones, as if a slight touch will completely flash the frame.

They sat in front of the door of the house, did not speak, staring at the sky with empty eyes, and slowly, Li Tai'an saw a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

It is estimated that it is still the influence of the sacrifice, but Li Tai'an really doesn't know why they believe in this sacrifice so much.

There seems to be something that can sustain them in holding on.

Occasionally, I saw one or two people eating, and more of them were in the white water, with a few white rice sticks floating here and there.

It doesn't work at all to satisfy hunger.

At that time, Li Tai'an almost couldn't help but rush out, wanting to take out all the food in the twin pots.

But Lin Yunbo interrupted him, and just said lightly: "The level of farming in this era is too low, and famine often occurs, you can save them for a while, but you can't save them forever." This kind of disaster can only be survived by them and the country itself. ”

So, until Li Tai'an left in the end, he didn't do much.

It was as if it was a passerby, just simply passing by.

"If there's such a well-watered river here, then why don't they get up?" Li Tai'an asked puzzled.

Lin Yunbo also reacted, even if it was to be used for sacrifice, or as a symbol, but at this moment, people are going to die, can they still care about this?

"Could it be that there is something strange about this river?" Lin Yunbo said uncertainly.

The two glanced at each other and walked slowly towards the river.

It stands to reason that on a summer night, with its abundant woods and a well-watered river, it will still feel cool and moist even from a distance.

But Li Tai'an and the others got closer and closer, and the temperature in the air still did not change in any way.

When they got closer, they found that it was still the same, just like before, nothing had changed.

When I looked closely, not only did there be no change in the air, but not even the water flowed

At this time, Li Tai'an discovered that the appearance of this river was extremely strange.

This river is completely inconsistent with the setting of a normal river, it has no source and no destination.

Not even an embankment.

It seems to be hard, in the deep mountains, there is a river.

"Be careful, stay safe." As soon as Li Tai'an reminded him, he saw that Lin Yunbo had already squatted down and put his hand into the river.

His gaze was still extremely fanatical.

Lin Yunbo has said more than once that for him, it is the most important thing to explore all the strange species and events in this world, and for this, he can even give his life.

At this point, that's it.

Seeing that it was too late, Li Tai'an stopped stopping Lin Yunbo, he stood aside and carefully observed Lin Yunbo's state.

For a minute, Lin Yunbo didn't speak.

Two minutes, three minutes passed, and still no words were spoken.

At this time, Li Tai'an was already a little anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Lin Yunbo, what's wrong with you?" Do you feel anything? ”

But Lin Yunbo didn't answer Li Tai'an, to be precise, Lin Yunbo was completely imprisoned at this moment.

Li Tai'an hurriedly stretched out his hand, wanting to pull Lin Yunbo back.

But before Li Tai'an could touch Lin Yunbo, the originally static river began to surge, enveloping Lin Yunbo and sinking directly.

During the whole process, Lin Yunbo did not resist in the slightest.

"Lin Yunbo!"

Li Tai'an shouted, but the river returned to calm, and Lin Yunbo's figure had disappeared.

"Come on, Lin Yunbo has an accident!" Li Tai'an hurriedly sent a message to Rouge and Yellow Dog through the Alien Beast Record.

Then I surrounded this strange river by myself, or slowly studied it.

Just now, Lin Yunbo touched the river, and then the whole person was stunned, and he didn't have the slightest reaction to Li Tai'an's shouting.

Then, there is the scene that just happened.

It seems that touching the river is the key.

Li Tai'an picked up a stone and threw it at the river, but the strange thing was that instead of sinking, the stone floated on the river.

"How is that possible?!" Li Tai'an looked at the stone in surprise.

Then, Li Tai'an broke off a branch and threw it into the river again.

This time, the branches that were supposed to float on the surface of the water sank directly.

And the stone just now is still floating above the river.

This river is beyond the river of common sense.

Just when Li Tai'an wanted to continue trying, the river slowly rotated, and a whirlpool was produced in the center, and a white bone slowly floated up, and was washed by the river little by little to Li Tai'an's side.

Staring at the white bone, Li Tai'an's pupils shrank, and there was Lin Yunbo's breath on it.

"Impossible!"

Li Tai'an muttered in disbelief.

You must know that although Lin Yunbo has no traces of cultivation on his body, he has fought against Li Tai'an, and Li Tai'an, who is already in the Xuanqi realm, has not had any upper hand in the face of Lin Yunbo.

Therefore, Li Tai'an didn't believe that Lin Yunbo would really be wiped out by a river.

So what's going on with this white bone? Why is there Lin Yunbo's breath on it?

A moment passed, and by this time the river had completely regained its calm.

But Li Tai'an couldn't see Lin Yunbo for a long time.

Mrs. Li's impatience is also getting bigger and bigger, and the news that was sent just now has not waited for Rouge and Yellow Dog's response.

"Could it be that something happened to them, too? No way, they kept the village! ”

"Rouge? Yellow dog? Are you still there? Answer me? "I sent a message through the Alien Beast Record again, but there was still no response.

Mrs. Li's anxiety became bigger and bigger, and even his eyes turned red.

This is something that Li Tai'an himself didn't react to, he has always been calm, but at this time, he is extremely anxious and angry.

It was as if something was influencing and controlling his emotions.

"! What the hell is going on? Is there anyone the? ”

Even at this time, Li Tai'an had already begun to scream and roar, and the red glow in his eyes became more and more intense.

Immediately afterwards, Li Tai'an looked at the river in front of him again, and at this moment, the river began to flow slowly, and countless green fireflies appeared on it.

I don't know why, the moment I saw these green fireflies, Li Tai'an, who was originally just anxious and angry, exploded directly, raised his hands, and countless thunder snakes shot out.

But it bombarded the river, and there was not even a single drop of water splashed, and it had no effect on those green fireflies.

After blasting out more than a dozen thunder snakes in a row, Li Tai'an scolded, and then jumped directly into the river.

Without waiting for the river to wrap itself up, Li Tai'an swam towards the depths of the river.

The moment you jump into the river, instead of feeling cold and wet, it is extremely hot, like a burning fire.

Li Tai'an's eyes were red, and he couldn't see the scene in front of him clearly.

But his body inexplicably began to stiffen, and his consciousness gradually sank.

Although the anger still occupied Li Tai'an's mind, Li Tai'an couldn't resist the feeling of wanting to fall asleep.

In the end, I really fell into a coma.

The burning sensation slowly dissipated, and the coldness of the river finally swept over.

Li Tai'an was like a drowning man, slowly sinking.

The river, which originally looked not very deep, has now become bottomless.

And Li Tai'an just kept sinking.

Above the river, after Li Tai'an jumped down, a whirlpool reappeared, and the white bones with Li Tai'an's breath slowly floated out.

With the river surging, it floats to the shore little by little.

In the end, when he met Lin Yunbo's white bones, the two white bones were stranded next to the river.
