Chapter 259: Rainforest Trickery
The little prince was stuffed into a boat and left the territory of Sheng Yu by water. There are many rivers and rivers in the rainy land, and there are many merchant ships taking the waterway.
The ship on the little prince looks like a large merchant ship on the surface, but the goods inside are particularly perfunctory, as long as you look at the cabin, you can know that they are not serious business.
Merchant ships generally do not run empty, that is, there is really no goods to transport, and the toll transporters will not run empty.
In the merchant ship where the little prince is located, there are many thugs, few goods, and the ship is slow, so he is not in a hurry at all.
I took advantage of the darkness to get on board, and they tied up the little prince and locked him in the hold.
Judging by his treatment, this group of people should not be his or the fake concubine's people.
The little prince was extremely frightened, and his hair and clothes were soaked with sweat.
I reined in the guards and opened the door and walked into the hold.
When he saw me, he was startled at first, and then he wanted to call for help, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he only called for help with his mouth.
He already knew that I was not a saintess of the overseas immortal clan.
It's someone from Luo Xiuran's side, but that doesn't prevent him from asking me for help.
This means that he would rather be disposed of by Luo Xiuran than fall into the hands of this group.
There are so many enemies of their mothers that it's hard to say who sent them.
I whispered to him if he knew the identity of the group.
He hurriedly replied that it was his mother's mother's family.
His mother is a fake concubine, so this mother's family is definitely not referring to the family of the real concubine.
"In that case, what are you afraid of?"
"Mother didn't finish the task, I'm going back to be punished."
"Is this punishment worse than killing you?"
"I can only go back as a sacrifice, to feed the monsters!"
The little prince's fears were real, and he didn't lie.
"Tell me more."
If this group of people is the maiden family of the fake Li Guifei, they are in the same group as the fake Li Guifei.
If you want to know the identity of the fake concubine, now is a good opportunity.
The little prince is also at a loss at the moment, but he knows very little information.
He only knew that the mother clan of the fake concubine believed in evil/gods, had a soft spot for monsters, and would regularly feed those monsters with living people.
Fake Li Guifei did not mention to him the name of his mother's family, the specific place of residence.
Just say that it is their hometown, there is a matriarchal society, feeding monsters only men, and there are mothers and children to pay their debts.
"My mother doesn't like to tell me about her background, her mission is to support those with maternal blood to be the emperor of the rain."
The little prince is telling the truth in every word, and the fake Li Guifei told him the truth, also to let him know his origin, and have a sense of identity with his mother clan in his heart, and he can't get along with Sheng Yu's people.
What the fake concubine wants to do is destined to stake their mother's life.
And he knows his mother, if he dares to have his own ideas, out of her control, it is inevitable that he will be killed by her.
His captors told him that the gods were angry at his mother's failure and wanted him to go back and be punished.
"Don't panic, I'll go back with you to take a look."
"Divine doctor, let's run now, go to their nest, it's hard to run again!"
When Luo Xiuran brought people into the palace and exposed the conspiracy of the fake concubine, he revealed my identity.
The people of Sheng Yu now know that I am a doctor of the rivers and lakes, but Luo Xiuran concealed my identity as the wife of the city lord of Sun City.
When it comes to Sun City, it involves the 'two countries' issue, and I am here in my personal capacity, and I don't want to get Sun City involved.
The little prince only knows that I am a miracle doctor and a master of using poison.
"You can run for a while, can you run for a lifetime? They can rob the Rain Prison, where else can you hide?"
My words left him speechless, and Sheng Yu's cell where he was held was the strongest in the country.
Those who poisoned and assassinated were all stopped by the jailers, which shows that the defense is tight, higher than elsewhere.
A master like me can't be seen every day,
Now is the best chance to destroy the monster's lair in one fell swoop.
He tilted his heart and nodded heavily, "I will definitely cooperate with the divine doctor."
I untied his rope, the guard fainted, and we fled symbolically.
However, while on the run, he stumbled and fell, and was captured by the guards.
Seeing that the rescue had failed, I had to jump ship and escape.
Then follow them all the way to the bottom of the boat.
The guards guarding the little prince were doubled, and there were no twists and turns in the rest of the road.
They switched from water to land, over the mountains and into the primeval forest area where the rain was abundant.
The wooded area here is different from the north, it is too hot, and it is a tropical rainforest with lush vegetation.
There are countless poisonous creatures inside, and the locals outside the forest will not go too deep.
One is that it is easy to get lost, and the other is that there are wild beasts and poisonous gases, poisonous insects, and poisonous plants.
There is a river that runs through the forest, and it is the easiest way.
However, it is also the most dangerous road, and there is more in the water.
The small wooden boat of human beings has almost zero defense in the face of irritable hippos, ferocious crocodiles, and rain-like blood-sucking leeches.
There are no electric motors in this world, no fuel-burning clippers.
When the little prince turned back to Shuihe again by land, he was so nervous that his heart was about to burst.
This time, he was afraid of the 'river freshness' along the way.
It was also the first time I had seen a hippopotamus the size of an elephant, and it was flammable and explosive.
When they saw the boat, they wanted to attack, but the people on the boat took out a string of things and put them around their necks, and the big hippos gave up attacking.
That's not a necklace or a string of bones, it's air-dried meat.
Preliminary judgment, it may be the large intestine, as for the large intestine of something, I didn't see it.
In short, this thing is a big enough deterrent to all living creatures in the river.
It doesn't matter what is chasing the ship, as long as the crew puts on this, the living creatures will immediately disperse.
I guess it has something to do with the evil gods they sacrifice.
Feeding so many living people, it was not for nothing.
If this river is opened, the significance is extraordinary.
When a rainstorm of leeches enveloped the boat, and the crew put on their large intestines, they instantly retreated.
I watched from the side of the boat, protected by an air cover, and I was not in any danger, and the whole process was like watching an adventure movie.
When the boat reached the middle of the river, a small pier appeared on the shore.
The wharf is guarded, there are wooden buildings on the shore, people can live below, and there is a watchtower upstairs.
Seeing a boat coming, a few people ran out of the building, with short knives pinned to their waists.
The people on the boat hung a bunting on the bow of the boat, and the people on the shore also waved a bunting.
The two sides seemed to be waving flags, reporting to each other and exchanging safety information.
Then the boat landed safely, and the little prince was blindfolded and escorted ashore, and an ox cart was parked on the shore.
He was helped by two guards into the ox cart, which moved slowly on a dirt road with potholes, wet and slippery.
I hid in the woods next to me and waited for them to go far before I followed.
The plants grow too densely, and they make a noise when they move in the forest.
I only let the gas silk follow them, and they walked from morning to sunset, and before sunset to a stockade.
The stockade is hidden in the dense forest, blocked by the tall ancient trees around it, and the road in front of the stockade leads to the dock, and the road behind the stockade leads deeper into the forest.
