According to the records on the branch map and Chi Xi’s early memories in the Black Beast Ridge area, Suiya Peak is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are three ways to enter: air, water, and land.
However, if you want to pass the land route, you must first pass through the two sacred mountains of Mugu Peak and Golden Horn Peak.
Mugu Peak is a boundless sea of trees, while Golden Horn Peak is home to many land beasts and mysterious beasts.
These two places are dangerous places. Just going around the foot of the mountain is very dangerous.
It is absolutely unfeasible to reach Suijia Peak directly by land, so the only remaining options are air and water routes.
Recalling what happened at Huoluan Peak, Yue Jinghua immediately gave up the idea of passing by air. The only way left was to go by water.
Speaking of waterways, Chi Xi had an idea.
"When I was a mercenary in my early years, I went to catch plump sawfish near Shuiji Peak. There was an ancient road built due to the war, called the Yunhe Ancient Road, which could be traveled by hired boatmen."
After Yue Jinghua heard this, she thought to herself that Shuijiao Peak is surrounded by water on three sides, and there is always one side where there are fewer aquatic animals inhabiting and less protection. Compared with land and air routes, water routes have become the safest way. Also...
When Mrs. Yan commissioned the task, she only said that as long as she found the secret path to Suiya Peak, that is to say, as long as she stepped onto Suiya Peak, the mission would be completed.
Even if Mrs. Qingyan had any objections at that time, she would knock her unconscious and carry her back, and the mercenary branch would not be able to find fault.
"Let's just take the water route. We'll change the Yunhe Ancient Road and enter Shuiji Peak," Yue Jinghua made up his mind.
After hearing that the waterway leads directly to Shui Shark Peak, a clear look flashed in the eyes of Mrs. Qingyan who was resting nearby, but she quickly covered up the look.
"First find the Yunhe Ancient Ferry that Auntie mentioned and find a boatman, then we can cross the river tomorrow," Yue Jinghua said and looked forward.
Ahead is a golden thorn reed with needle-like leaves. Next to the thorn reed is a large river that is tens of meters wide and flows with rolling yellow sand.
This river is called Yun River and is about 900 miles long. Every winter, the Yun River is covered with ice and snow. In spring, the ice and snow melt, and the river is like a raging dragon, rushing eastward. The broken ice and snow crashes into the embankments and chaos.
The stone turned into powder in an instant, just like thousands of horses galloping, like the vast sea of clouds, hence the name Cloud River.
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 conquered 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 Chi Xi said, everyone walked for about seven or eight miles. Along the way, Yue Jinghua threw a few nautiluses into the river. When the water washed away, the nautiluses would quickly disperse throughout the basin to help find the best ones.
Suitable river channels for boating.
Not long after, Yue Jinghua and others found a dilapidated ancient ferry.
There lived an old ferryman at the ferry, and he had several dilapidated ferries on hand.
After Yue Jinghua and others arrived, they explained their purpose of coming. After hearing this, the old boatman shook his head and nodded.
Nodding means agreeing to the boat rental plan of several people, while shaking the head means disagreeing to help four people ferry.
How can I cross the Yunhe Ancient Road without an unmanned ferry?
The Yunhe Ancient Road stretches for hundreds of miles and was known as the "Water Maze" in ancient times. The river in the ancient road is fast and the most terrible thing is the deep sand, underwater undercurrents and numerous rocks.
Some places are covered with deadly aquatic plants. If there is no familiar boatman to help ferry the boat, it will be okay when the view is good during the day. But at night, the wind is strong and the waves are high, and the boat will be knocked out of a big gap if it cannot stop it.
Yue Jinghua begged again and again and offered a large sum of money to hire him, but the old boatman refused to go down the river.
After asking again, it turned out that the old boatman said that there was a water god living in Shuijiao Peak, so he rashly entered the water, disturbed the water god, and came back to cause death.
Just when a few people were in trouble, Chi Xi smiled and said: "It's okay. I went down the Yunhe Ancient Road several times in the early years. More than 20 years have passed. People and things have changed a lot, but the water flow in this river has changed a lot."
Eighty percent of it has not changed. Pick a sturdier boat and let me take the helm."
So the old boatman led Yue Jinghua and others into the dilapidated dock at the ferry.
There are several boats in the dock. The dock is a little dilapidated, but the boats here are well preserved and there are several types.
There are one-leaf boats that can only stand on two feet, there are also crescent boats with two ends that are curved like a crescent moon, and there is also a turtle ship that was said to be left behind by the Imperial Navy.
The big ones were too big, and the small ones were not safe enough. Yue Jinghua walked back and forth among several ships. While hesitating, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a ship out of the corner of his eye.
It was a very ordinary medium-sized ship. It was not big and not as strong as the turtle boats used by the navy. It looked very much like the fishing boats used by fishermen when they went to sea.
But the biggest feature of this fishing boat is that it has a mysterious formation on its bow and stern.
The one at the bow is a mysterious formation used to reinforce the hull, and the one at the stern is an accelerating formation that makes the hull slide faster. These two mysterious formations, one behind the other, make this ship stand out from other ships. Yue Jinghua
Without any further hesitation, he paid a hundred gold coins and rented a boat for two days.
Yue Jinghua originally planned to set off again the next day, but the old boatman reminded him that these days were at the time of the astronomical tides, and the Yunhe River was flowing against the tide during the day and against the tide at night, so the best way to reach Shuijia Peak as soon as possible was to
Set off at night so that you can reach the shoal near Suisame Peak around the evening of the next day.
Yue Jinghua has already received feedback from Nautilus. This is indeed the case. The distribution of water-type mysterious beasts in the entire Yun River Basin has also been roughly reflected back.
The Yun River has nine twists and turns, among which the west tributary is the safest, with the fewest forks, and almost no water-based mystical beasts. So Yue Jinghua made some arrangements, checked the boats, and then pushed the boats into the river.
Around dusk, when the sky was still bright, we headed west along the waterway.
After getting on the waterway, Mrs. Qingyan became much quieter. She stood alone on the bow of the boat, looking at the ancient river embankment in the hazy night, seemingly lost in thought.
"After entering the Yunhe Ancient Road, we need to be careful. I will look after the wind at night, and you two will take turns watching during the day. There are the following types of powerful water-type mysterious beasts in the Yunhe area..."
Yue Jinghua quickly explained to Wei Wei and Chi Xi. As the latter two listened, they couldn't help but be surprised. Yue Jinghua's reaction did not look like that of 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 ship, her long black dress flying in the wind.
For some reason, there was an ominous omen in her heart.
Before that, Yue Jinghua paused briefly.
