Genius Demon Empress

Before that, Yue Jinghua paused for a while.

According to the records of the branch map and Chixi's early memories of the Xuanshou Mountain Ridge, Shuiyu Peak is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are three ways to enter by air, water, and land.

It's just that if you want to pass through the land route, you must first pass the two holy mountains of Wooden Puppet Peak and Golden Horn Peak.

Wooden Puppet Peak is a boundless sea of ​​trees, while Golden Horn Peak is inhabited by numerous land beasts and profound beasts.

These two places are dangerous places, and it is very dangerous just to go around from the foot of the mountain.

It is absolutely impossible to go directly to Shuiyu Peak by land, so the only remaining routes are air and water.

Recalling what happened at Huoluan Peak, Yue Jinghua immediately gave up the idea of ​​passing by the empty road, and the only way left was to go by water.

Speaking of the waterway, Chi Xi had an idea.

When I was a mercenary in the early years, I went to catch plump saw-shaped mandarin fish near Shuiyu Peak. There is an ancient road built due to the war, called Yunhe Ancient Road, where boats can be hired to pass.

After hearing this, Yue Jinghua thought to herself, Shuiyu Peak is surrounded by water on three sides, and there is always one side where there are fewer aquatic animals and they are neglected to guard against it. Compared with land and air, water has become the safest method. return. When Mrs. Qingyan entrusted her, she only said that as long as she found the secret path that could lead to Shuiyu Peak smoothly, that is to say, as long as she stepped on Shuiyu Peak, the task would be considered as completed.

At that time, even if Mrs. Qingyan had any objections, he would knock her unconscious and carry her back, and the mercenary branch would not be able to find fault with anything.

Let's go by water, let's divert to the ancient Yunhe Road and enter Shuiyu Peak, Yue Jinghua made up his mind.

After hearing that the water route went straight to Shuiyu Peak, Mrs. Qingyan, who was resting beside her, had a clear look in her eyes, but she quickly covered up that look.

Find a boatman at the ancient ferry of the Yun River that my aunt mentioned, and cross the river tomorrow, Yue Jinghua said, looking ahead.

In front of it is a piece of golden thorny reed, whose leaves are like needlepoints. Next to the thorny reeds is a big river that is more than tens of meters wide and rushing with rolling yellow sand.

This river is named Yunhe, and it is about 900 miles long. Every winter, the Yunhe is covered with ice and snow. In spring, the ice and snow melt, and the river rushes eastward like a raging angry dragon. The stone turned into powder in an instant, like a galloping horse, like a sea of ​​clouds, so it was named Yunhe.

The Yunhe Ancient Road is a famous waterway plank road with a long history. It was built in the early years when the Dragon War Empire fought against the tribes in the border waters. In recent years, there have been few wars on the mainland, and the ancient ferry has been abandoned.

According to what Chixi said, they walked for about seven or eight miles. Along the way, Yue Jinghua threw a few nautiluses into the river. When the water rushes, the nautilus will quickly disperse to the entire river basin to help find the best one. Suitable river for boating.

Not long after, Yue Jinghua and the others found a dilapidated ancient ferry.

There is a famous old boatman living at the ferry, and he has several dilapidated ferries on hand.

After Yue Jinghua and the others arrived, they explained the purpose of their visit, and the old boatman shook his head and nodded.

Nodding said that he agreed to the charter plan of several people, while shaking his head meant that he did not agree to help four people ferry.

There is no one ferrying, so how can we get across the ancient road of Yunhe?

The Yunhe ancient road stretches for hundreds of miles, and it was called a water labyrinth in ancient times. The river in the ancient road is turbulent, and the most terrible thing is the deep sand, undercurrents under the water, and many rocks.

Some places are covered with deadly aquatic plants. If there is no familiar boatman to help ferry the boat, the vision will be fine during the day, but at night, when the wind is strong and the waves are high, the boat will be knocked out of a big gap.

Yue Jinghua begged again and again, and offered a lot of money to hire him, but the old boatman just refused to go down the river.

Ask again, it turns out that the old boatman said that there is a water god inhabiting the water shark peak, and he rashly entered the water, disturbing the water god, and came back to bring about his death.

Just when several people were in a dilemma, Chi Xi smiled and said: It's not a problem, I also went down the Yunhe ancient road several times in the early years. More than 20 years have passed, and the people and things have changed a lot, but the water flow of this river has changed a lot. Eighty percent of it is unchanged, pick a stronger ship and let me take the helm.

So the old boatman led Yue Jinghua and the others into the dilapidated dock at the ferry.

There are a few boats in the dock, the dock is a bit dilapidated, but the boats here are well preserved, and there are several types.

There is a one-leaf boat that can only stand on two feet, a crescent boat with two ends that bend like a crescent moon, and a turtle boat that was said to be left behind by the Imperial Navy.

The big one was too big, while the small one wasn't safe enough, Yue Jinghua walked back and forth among the several boats, just as he was hesitating, he caught a glimpse of a boat out of the corner of his eye.

It was a very ordinary medium-sized boat, not big, and not as strong as the turtle boats used by the navy. It looked a lot like a fishing boat used by fishermen when they went to sea.

But this fishing boat has one of the biggest features, it has a profound array at the bow and stern.

The bow is a profound formation for strengthening the hull, and the stern is an acceleration profound formation to make the hull glide faster. These two profound formations, one in front of the other, make this ship stand out from the crowd, Yue Jinghua Without further hesitation, he paid a hundred gold coins and rented a boat for two days.

Originally, Yue Jinghua planned to set off again on the second day, but the old boatman reminded him that the astronomical tide was in the past few days, and the Yunhe River was high tide during the day and countercurrent at night, and the best way to reach Shuiyu Peak as soon as possible was to Set off at night, so that you can reach the shallows near Shuizhao Peak around the evening of the next day.

Yue Jinghua has already received feedback from Nautilus, which is indeed the case, and the distribution of water system profound beasts in the entire Yunhe River Basin has also been roughly reflected.

The Yunhe River has nine bends and ten bends. Among them, the western tributary is the safest, with the fewest forks, and almost no water system mysterious beasts. Therefore, Yue Jinghua made some adjustments. After checking the boats, he pushed the boats into the river. Around dusk, the sky was still bright, and we went west along the waterway.

After getting on the waterway, Mrs. Qingyan was much quieter. She stood alone on the bow of the boat, looking at the Gudao embankment in the hazy night, seemingly lost in thought.

After entering the Yunhe ancient road, we need to be careful. I will watch the wind at night, and you two will take turns to watch the wind during the day. In the Yunhe area, there are the following types of powerful water-type profound beasts...

Yue Jinghua quickly explained to Weiwei and Chixi, and the latter two listened, both of them couldn't help being surprised, Yue Jinghua's reaction was not like a novice mercenary.

It's almost here, Mrs. Qingyan said suddenly, as if she was talking to herself or telling Yue Jinghua and others.

Yue Jinghua looked over and saw Mrs. Qingyan's thin body standing on the bow of the boat, her long black dress fluttering in the wind.

For some reason, there was an ominous omen in her heart.

Before that, Yue Jinghua paused for a while.
