Chapter 224: The Convergence of Three Waters

There are three routes to choose from from Duancheng to the provincial capital, one by water and two by land.

Because there is no boat, of course Fan Wu will not choose the waterway, the land route is an ordinary national highway and a high-speed, and now there is no car, and you have to spare a big circle to take the high-speed, so Fan Wu chose to go from the national highway.

If you choose the national highway, in addition to some small towns on the road, you have to pass through two cities about the same size as Duancheng, one is on the road that must be passed, and the other is not required, but there is a historic ancestral temple in the city, and Fan Wu wants to see it.

After leaving the end city and entering the city in time, the first thing to enter is the intersection city, Fan Wu remembered that this name came because it was the place where the Dongjiang, Xijiang, and Beijiang rivers meet.

Because it is the place where the three rivers meet, the intersection city is where the traffic extends in all directions, and the city's liveliness is much higher than that of the end city, and the economy is relatively developed.

It's just that when Fan Wu entered the city today, he found that it was more destroyed than the town he had seen before, not a single building was intact, and the entire city was almost razed to the ground.

On the contrary, the outer and suburban areas are still well preserved, and the situation outside the city is the same as that of Longqing City, basically there is no big damage, but the urban area is destroyed beyond recognition.

This level of damage is definitely not caused by the years, it is estimated that there are some creatures that have fought a series of battles here, and from the sections of which collapsed buildings and the faint appearance of bloodstains can prove that Fan Wu's inference should be reliable.

Fan Wu walked around the city and didn't find any lifeforms, just like the previous two cities, not even small animals such as mice and cockroaches were left.

I don't know if it's because the environment here is not suitable for small animals, or if there are some terrifying creatures that make them dare not stay here.

But in places other than the inside of the city, there is no need to go to the wild, but the areas in the suburbs have begun to have the breath of small life, and there are more in the wild, but it seems that the sensory sensitivity of these small animals has also been greatly improved like Fan Wu.

Fan Wu could only sense their breath from a distance, but he couldn't see them appear in sight with his own eyes, so in fact, there were no small animals in the city, and it was not an abnormal situation in Fan Wu's senses.

The situation in the urban area of Interchange City is slightly different from that of Longqing City, except that the entire urban area has been destroyed, and it seems that it has been empty for a little longer than the latter.

The end city side is special, there is not much change in the urban area, but the surrounding area has been abandoned for many years, indicating that it has been attacked very early.

Longqing City seems to have been empty in recent years, and many places are still well maintained, while the intersection of the city has been empty for more than ten years, and many of the wreckage sections have shown signs of weathering, but they are not too obvious.

Not to mention Duancheng, the degree of weathering of the two cities of Longqing and Jiaohe alone is at least five years apart.

However, no matter when the city was attacked, and the time difference between the empty time was a few years, the architectural style on it was actually the same, not much different from when Fan Wu left.

In other words, social life here has not changed much since 60 years ago, and it remains the same as it was then.

This is very abnormal, and it is also very different from what Fan Wu heard in the underworld back then, when the old man who met the blood clan said that the human world seems to have developed a fairly high scientific and technological power, and the social form has also undergone major changes.

It's just that I didn't ask carefully at the time, so I don't know how far it has developed and what the specific form is, but judging from the general situation he said back then, it definitely won't be what it is now.

Even if high-tech has not yet spread to a small place like Endingtown, it is impossible to not even change the architectural style, which is too puzzling.

Duancheng may have been protected by the dense fog early, but the other two cities should not still be the same buildings, with this question Fan Wu continued to explore, and found nothing within the urban area.

The bloodstains that appeared in the rubble pile also lost all their vitality because of the long time that had passed, so it was impossible to see anything, and only roughly identified the type of blood, most of which belonged to humans, and many of which belonged to other races, but it was not clear what the specific creature was.

The urban area did not find it, and Fan Wu left this large pile of broken walls and ruins to the riverside not far from the city, where the east, west, and north rivers meet.

When he was in Longqing City, he already knew that the river was the habitat of those low-level hell creatures, so he judged that this point where the three rivers converged would definitely be able to find creatures.

I didn't expect to come to the riverside at all, but just outside the urban area of Interchange City, I encountered the first batch of hellish creatures, which were disgusting creatures like shellless snails, lying limply on the trees on the side of the road.

At first, Fan Wu hadn't noticed their existence, because they seemed to be able to merge the breath of life with the trees, he just felt that the trees here were much more vigorous than the vitality of other places.

One or two are okay, why are the trees all the way like this?, so Fan Wu couldn't help but leave the road and go under the trees to take a look, only to find the disgusting creatures lying on the trunks.

The body is much larger than a snail, as big as the body of a kitten, sticky and sticky to the trunk of a tree, and there are two antennae on the head, but their antennae are inserted into the trunk, as if they are absorbing nutrients from trees?

Not only do they hide their breath well, there are at least 10 of them lying on each tree, but because the soft flesh on their bodies has a translucent effect, it is almost impossible to detect their existence if you don't look closely.

And it seems that the sensitivity of the senses is not very good, until Fan Wu is already close to the distance, there is no reaction, Fan Wu can't help but want to try what the hell this creature that has never been seen again.

But he hated this sticky thing very much since he was a child, so he picked up a branch from the ground and touched it lightly from a distance, but this time it was terrible, like stabbing a hornet's nest.

It immediately caused a strong reaction from this creature, and it was not one, but all within a radius of 30 meters.

Starting from the creature in Fan Wu's stabbing, in just a few seconds, all the creatures within a radius of 30 meters pulled out their tentacles from the book, like antennas, as if they were communicating with each other.

Then Fan Wu saw an unbelievable scene, after these soft creatures in the range finished communicating, they pierced their tentacles into the trunk of the tree again, but this time it was not silent, but frantically absorbing the vitality of the tree.

This point is very clear in Fan Wu's sensitive senses, and in fact, there is no need to deliberately sense it, because the eyes can see huge changes.

The trees where the mollusks are located are quickly dried and brittle, turning into large pieces of firewood in a matter of seconds, and they are dry firewood that can be used to start a fire immediately.

The entire tree is drained of all the nutrients that provide energy, turning into a dead tree, and they jump to the ground after sucking up the nutrients from the tree.

After they all came down, the trees directly weathered into a pile of sawdust, which was blown by the wind and scattered in all directions, that is to say, in less than 10 seconds, the 30-meter radius of the place where Fan Wu stood became a bare white ground, and all the trees were scattered with the wind.

The sight was a bit too sudden, so Fan Wu paused, and when he reacted again, he realized that he was surrounded by those molluscs.

Densely crawling all over the ground, based on the calculation of 10 on each tree, there are more than 100 here, looking at the worm-like creatures on the ground, Fan Wu couldn't help but feel a little numb.

It's not that I'm worried that I can't deal with it, it's just that I don't like this kind of slippery and sticky thing, this reaction is purely instinctive, and I can't control it at all.

Although the goosebumps all over his body weighed several pounds, Fan Wu didn't feel any danger from them, as if these were just vegetarians, not the threat of carnivorous creatures.

But when Fan Wu looked at these soft creatures that were constantly vibrating at him with their antennae, even though they had no eyes, they felt as if they were being stared at.

Fan Wu kept shivering a few times, always feeling that these disgusting creatures would pounce on him at any time and stick to him, and now he stood motionless, afraid that the slightest movement would attract their attention.

It's just that he doesn't move, it doesn't mean that these creatures will let him go, and after a tremor of the tentacles of the soft creatures, it seems that they have found Fan Wu's location, and they begin to slowly squirm from the ground.

At this time, Fan Wu didn't dare not move, but there were these disgusting guys in front and back, left and right, and he couldn't retreat from the ground, so he had to expend energy to fly into the air.

After the strength is improved to the Xi Realm, although the ability to fly is not as powerful as when he was a ghost, it is still possible to avoid this range of tens of meters in the air.

Fan Wu didn't land immediately after flying away from the 30-meter range, he was really afraid of these things that made his scalp tingle, so he flew forward for nearly 100 meters before returning to the ground.

Who knew that as soon as he landed, it immediately caused a chain reaction, with the place where he was standing as the center point, the trees within a radius of 30 meters also turned into a pile of sawdust in a matter of seconds, and then more than a hundred mollusks surrounded him.

This time Fan Wu had no choice but to take off again, flying a few hundred meters before landing, and this time it landed on the road without trees, but it was useless at all.

Those creatures seemed to have remembered and recognized Fan Wu's aura, and even if he landed on the road this time, it still alarmed the soft creatures on both sides of the road, and they also sucked up the trees and appeared near him in a short time, and climbed the road to surround him.

Fortunately, there were only trees on both sides of the road, and the front and back were empty, so Fan Wu simply stopped flying and moved directly along the road.

Luckily, these creatures don't move fast, so they always lag behind Fan Wu, just chasing after him slowly.
