Chapter 50: Crossing the River
Is this the Hunjiang?
The waves on the hundred-zhang-wide river are even more thrilling than the rumored Hun River.
The violent southwest wind blew head-on from the other side of the river, setting off waves dozens of feet high, and then slammed violently on the water, making a loud noise that shook people's eardrums.
It is not easy to cross this great river, and even boats cannot sail on the river, because even the hardest boats will be crushed by the huge waves.
Cangma stood on the rocks on the shore, and the wind blew his clothes fiercely.
The wind is really strong, and even if you stand still like this, you have to work hard to stabilize your body. If you swim across the river, I am afraid that a big wave will sweep people away from nowhere.
But he had to figure out a way to cross the river, because he came back with only one man.
Because he promised Liao Xiaoyun, this is a man's promise, and he must keep it.
But he can't fly with a sword, and he can't cross this river.
He can give up now, turn around and go back, and no one will laugh at him. But Cangma wouldn't do that, he wouldn't even think about it.
Because he knew that the difficulties and dangers he was about to encounter were not just such a river, so even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, he would have to break through.
He stared at the whirlpool on the surface of the river, and his mind was all trapped in the whirlpool.
His fists were clenched very tightly, this was his anxiety, how to rely on his own strength to cross this great river.
The others all sacrificed their fairy swords, intending to cross the river with their swords.
Shen Fang walked up to Cangma and spread out the map in his hand.
"The muddy water is more than 3,000 miles long, and if you want to bypass this river, you have to walk for at least four or five years. ”
Although he was only stating things, Cangma knew that he was actually asking himself.
"Are you going to go with us?"
Cangma said: "You take me across the river with your imperial sword." ”
"But when you come back, none of us will come back with you. ”
Yes, they have only been walking for two months, and after crossing this river, they will have to walk forward for another ten months. If Xiao Tianju is found, everyone can naturally return together, but if they can't find it, they have to continue to move forward.
Ten months of hiking, even if it is a day and night Edgeworth flight, it will take at least three months, and the round trip is six months.
So when Cangma came back alone, no one could take him across the river, and he had to think about this point.
Shen Fang didn't persuade Cangma, because he knew that no one could persuade Cangma, once he decided.
"Take me across the river. Cangma said solemnly.
It's really troublesome not to be able to fly with the sword, he has never asked for help, but the other party is Shen Fang, so it's another matter.
"Cross the river!"
Shen Fang gave an order, and everyone immediately jumped on the fairy sword, and each used their magic power to fly over to the opposite bank.
When everyone was about to arrive on the other side, Shen Fang said to Cangma: "Big brother, hold my hand." ”
The fairy sword was horizontal in front of him, and the two jumped up together, the sword body trembled slightly, and then quickly regained its stability under the blessing of Shen Fang's internal force.
The flying sword carried the weight of the two people and soared upward, crossing the river at the place where the wind and waves were at their highest.
Where the wind is the loudest, where the waves are the fiercest, Shen Fang will fly wherever the fairy sword goes. Maybe this will be able to scare Cangma off and make him feel timid, which is Shen Fang's inner plan, because he doesn't want Cangma to follow them anymore.
Because it's too hard for Cangma. If it was just to cross the river, if there was another danger, someone else could escape with the sword, but he couldn't, it would be too risky.
The hurricane blew the two people on the flying sword to sway left and right, and Shen Fang had to continuously inject the sword qi in his body into the sword body in order to maintain a stable forward.
There are two large mountains a few dozen miles away on the other side of the river, and the valley in the middle is a naturally formed wind outlet, from where all the wind blows. It is because of this valley that the winds on the Hunjiang River are constant all year round, especially when the seasons change, and the winds here are more violent than ever.
The wind is like countless sharp claws, peeling off people's clothes and pouring them inward, and they want to tear apart people's ribs before they stop.
Although the two of them flew at an altitude of thirty feet from the river, their feet were still wet by the waves stirred up in the river, and they were cold and biting.
"Big brother, the wind on the river is constant all year round. Shen Fang turned around and said, "It's already so difficult for Edgeworth to cross the river, let alone any other way. ”
But who would have thought, Cangma suddenly said: "Don't worry, I already have a way to cross the river." ”
Looking at Cangma's determined and resolute eyes, Shen Fang was suddenly stunned, such eyes were all too familiar to him.
Every time Cangma said, "I already have a way to crack his sword moves." When he said this, he looked like this, and he always did, and his methods were always hard to think of and very ingenious.
"What's the solution?" Shen Fang couldn't help but ask.
His momentary distraction caused the height of the flying sword to drop sharply, and at this time, a wave was rising from the sky under his feet.
"Beware!"
Cangma suddenly drew his sword!
In the column of water, there was a big black fish more than a foot long, and it opened its big mouth with three feet of fangs and swallowed it towards the two of them! Each tooth was more than a palm long, and it was extremely sharp, and it had to bite people into two in one bite!
"Boom!"
The moment the tip of the sword touched the teeth of the big black fish, Cangma already knew that something was wrong, because the force could even bite the sword in his hand!
He jumped down directly, and the long sword was sent in whole between the teeth of the big black fish.
The whole sword was sent into the belly of the fish without any resistance, because the fish was so big that the whole sword was less than half the length of the fish.
The big fish's black and round eyes stared at Cangma, and its two arm-long fish whiskers swayed, extremely sarcastic, as if they wanted to swallow all the people with swords.
But it didn't expect Cangma's fist to come so quickly!
The hammer in his left hand smashed the fish's lips, and a big mouth closed suddenly, and then Cangma grabbed the fish's whiskers, turned over and jumped on the back of the fish.
At the same time, the hilt of the sword is staggered with both hands.
The tip of the sword pressed against the jaw of the fish's teeth, and with a strong pull, the head of the big black fish had been cut in half.
The fish was dead, but it was inexhaustible, and the horse was no longer entangled with it, and jumped up from the fish's back with a slam of his kick.
Shen Fang stretched out his hand to answer and pulled Cangma behind him.
As soon as the fish's blood spread on the surface of the river, it immediately attracted a group of fellow blackfish the size of him, and ate it all at once.
"Piranha!" Shen Fang exclaimed, "I didn't expect there to be such a monster in the Hujiang River!"
He looked at Cangma and hesitated: "Big brother, the way you said is not to swim through the water." ”
If this really goes into the water, I'm afraid it will become a pile of white bones before it reaches the other side.
"Of course not. Cangma smiled slightly, "I naturally have my own way." ”
"What's the solution?"
"It's too cumbersome to say, I don't want to say more, and I don't necessarily say it clearly. He was very confident, "But in short, a mere river can't stop me." ”
Shen Fang didn't say much, although he believed that Cangma could do it, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart.
If you want me to say, I can't think of any way for Cangma to cross the river, unless he can fly, but he can't. With such a strong wind, such a fierce wave, and such a wide river, unless it is bragging, how can it be said that it is over.
You say, 'How can he cross this river?' Riding on the back of a fish to swim over? That's bragging, the fish thinks you are old, you really think you can ride if you want to?
Anyway, he said that there was a way to cross the river, so when he came back, I would like to see if he really had a way or if he had a way.
At this time, Shen Fang Yujian and Cangma were already approaching the riverbank.
"Big brother, if you think it's inappropriate, it's too late to turn back. ”
Cangma smiled: "There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as I come." ”
Shen Fang watched Cangma jump ashore dexterously, where did he look like a mature and steady forty-year-old middle-aged man, he was simply a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
Jiang Ping greeted Cangma and said: "Senior Brother Cangma, sister-in-law is still waiting for you to go back at home to get married, if there is no Jiang, we can rest assured that you will go back alone, but ......"
But Cangma smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”
It is precisely because of worry that I am not at ease. If Cangma told him how to cross the river, everyone might be able to relax after listening to it. But Cangma didn't say it, because he knew that his method was too risky, and others would definitely be even more worried when he said it. That's why he didn't say it.
Everyone advised him to turn back, but Cangma always smiled perfunctorily, always smiled and patted everyone on the shoulder.
Although Qin Shaochong didn't say anything to Cangma, he was actually the most worried about Cangma, because from the beginning, he was looking at Cangma from a distance behind the crowd.
"Let's keep going, it's not too early. Cangma stretched out his hand and squeezed Qin Shaochong's shoulder hard, "Do you all look down on me like this?"
Qin Shaochong smiled wryly: "That's not it." ”
"It's just a river, can it really stop me? Cangma smiled and walked forward, everyone following him.
In fact, compared to Shen Fang, he does have more leadership temperament, although in terms of cultivation, he is the lowest among these people, but he can always focus everyone's thoughts on himself. But he never deliberately wanted to do this, which may be the charm of his personality.
The soil under your feet is wetter and softer than on the other side of the river, and when you step on it, a deep pit will appear, and the water in the pit will seep out of the soil.
A dangerous creature often appears in such an environment.
Snake.
At this time, everyone was still entangled in their hearts whether Cangma had a way to cross the river, but they had unknowingly strayed into the territory of the snakes.
The group of outside intruders has been firmly monitored, and they are in danger but still unaware of it.
Cangma was at the forefront, but he couldn't detect the scarlet snake letter coming out from under the bushes.
Venomous snakes roam the wetlands, enveloping the scented humans, and few alien species in this wetland have dared to behave so recklessly, and that's exactly what snakes are happy to see.
