Chapter 561: Dragon Whisker River [Happy New Year]

PS: January months are similar, year after year. Looking through the mirror in the early morning, the appearance is nearly decrepit. It's rare to be idle, and it's half empty. Floating life can be a little, don't hesitate to get drunk in the spring breeze.

A month later, Hou and his entourage arrived at a place called Longxugou.

Longxu ditch, the reason why it is called the ancient river channel, this ancient can even be traced back to thousands of years, once, here is also a place where water and grass are abundant, there is a big river - Longxu River, the whole Hetao area is full of cattle and sheep, nourishing countless herdsmen.

Then, after the spirit of the splendid world began to awaken, the place slowly became barren, the wind and sand went south, and the undead were rampant, driving the original aborigines all the way south, and there is no sign of stopping until now.

The Longxu River is long gone, there is a dragon's beard ditch left, in fact, it is not appropriate to say the ditch now, because under the changes of thousands of years, the sand dunes are endless, and the wind and sand are swept, where can you still see the traces of the river thousands of years ago?

Only by getting up in the air, looking down from a bird's eye view, and judging by the monk's divine sense, can we vaguely find that there is a slightly lower curved line here, which is the dragon's beard ditch, which is still intermittent and faint.

"This is Dragon's Whisker Gully, right? If it weren't for the fact that the map was very clear, who would have thought that there would be a river here thousands of years ago? Minami Xiangye complained.

Huang Fairy looked at it with a pair of peach blossom eyes, "I don't see anything special? Why is it said that this is a place of undead life? Let's still search?"

Before this mission, Yu Zhengxing specially explained to them that they should carefully investigate the line of Longxugou, and then after crossing Longxugou, a few hundred miles west is the end point of their inspection, and they can return.

From the air, this old river meanders across the cross-section of the three hundred miles they are responsible for, and then stretches into the distance, not only crossing the boundary of Guloulan, but even crossing the territory that other Dao forces are responsible for protecting.

If this old river channel really hides something, or becomes a relay station for the undead to travel south, then, obviously, their efforts alone are meaningless.

In any case, a task is a task, and it needs to be carried out resolutely, and if you fool around here, then it is better not to come.

Hou Yu pointed to the map and said to everyone, "Let's go from west to east, along the river, and strive to make this section clear within three days; The ape and I walked on the ground so that we could feel it more clearly, with the fairy and the pumpkin following and answering the .....

The three of them nodded in agreement, this is also the tacit understanding that they have slowly formed along the way, and it is the most suitable way to cooperate, because among the four people, the two of them have the strongest melee ability, and they are not afraid of the close assault of the undead.

The plan has been decided, Huang Xianzi and Nan Xiangye are still floating in the air, but Hou Yu and Yuan Shangyuan have fallen to the ground; This old river channel is not narrow, it was also a huge water system at the beginning, as wide as ten miles, after thousands of years of changes, the river topography has long been changed beyond recognition by nature, which also added a lot of trouble to the exploration of the two.

The two men were separated by miles, marching in parallel, and because they were walking on the sand dunes, they could not sometimes look at each other; It is only possible to communicate with two companions flying in the sky, which is slightly inconvenient.

Yuan Shangyuan's original phase can drill under the soil, and the perception range is very wide; Hou Yu has a deep understanding of the earth, so walking on the sand dunes, within a few miles of the surrounding area, and a few zhang deep under the sand, are their perception areas.

Nan Xiangye was in the sky, and he still couldn't spare that mouth, "Longxu Ditch, the old river channel, and the sand layer must be partial to the water, are the undead very close to the water?"

The Yellow Fairy covered her mouth and smiled, "You can't assume that just because they like to burrow under the sand, they must be biased towards the earth..... Water is the source of life, and so is everything else. I have a feeling that while it is difficult to find traces of water walking on the skeletons of the undead, I deduce that they must have a deep connection to water travel, but in one way or another, it is not something I can understand now."

"I'm curious what happens if you throw them in the water? Will you become a sea tribe?"

How the undead appeared

Target? How is it formed? The human cultivation realm has not yet been decided; They do not belong to the ordinary mortal beasts that have realized the essence, nor do they belong to the ghosts of the complete soul method, and the source of their energy acquisition comes from the spirit of the splendid earth, but it seems that this is not entirely the case?

This is a puzzle that has plagued the human cultivation realm for thousands of years, and it is also the fundamental reason why human cultivators dare not completely eliminate the undead creatures in the Patella Void Desert.

Humans don't care much about the set of things they are familiar with, because they know the roots, such as mountain monsters, evil demons and monsters..... But they are full of awe of what they don't know, and they are afraid that if they easily start the eradication of the undead in the Patella Void Desert, they will cause even more trouble.

Of course, these questions are not something that they can consider in their current realm, and after a few moments, Yuan Shangyuan's divine consciousness spoke,

"There's a river underneath! My Dharma phase has found a deep water fluctuation at a depth of five zhang below the sand layer, which is intermittent .....and intermittent."

Hou Yu nodded, "It should be so, I also feel it, the reason why it is intermittent is because with the undulation of the dunes, the top of the hill is not felt because of the accumulation of a large amount of floating sand, but it is obvious at the bottom of the mound."

Yuan Shangyuan frowned, "The depth of my Fa Phase is limited, and no matter how deep it is, it is easy to lose control, but it's a pity." Hou Yu stopped his attempt, "There's no need, let's go down the river first, and then think about it in the long run."

They walked for three days, but to everyone's surprise, they found nothing, not even a single undead creature, and nothing happened.

"Are you in the wrong place? Shouldn't it, can the four of us big living people still see the picture wrong?" Nan Xiangye was very puzzled.

The yellow fairy patted his towering chest, "It's okay, it's okay, pumpkin, don't talk nonsense, everyone is safer than anything else."

Yuan Shang's original intention was still unfinished, "Or, go again? Take a different route and dig deeper?"

Hou Yu, as the boss, made a final decision, "There is not much point in going through it again now, under common sense, our inspection this time can be regarded as completing the task, no abnormality is no abnormality, we can't doubt our judgment because there may be something in the depths, that is beyond our ability."

Looking at everyone, "Let's continue west, there are about three hundred miles to go before the end of this cruise, and when we turn around, there will be plenty of time, let's sort it out here again."

A few people nodded in agreement, if they were to clear this place on the way back, of course, it would be much easier, because they had already ploughed this area, so they didn't have to worry too much about a large number of undead suddenly appearing.

In a bird's head, he is still very cautious when he really acts.

You have one vote, I have one vote, and everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high; You have a mouth, I have a mouth, and I will fill the comment area with water.... Double-ask for a monthly pass.
