A huge beast in the water that looks like a plesiosaur carries seven or eight passengers on its back, leisurely and leisurely shuttles through the dim underground waterway. The rushing water turns into a docile servant under it. Once a fierce undercurrent or whirlpool hits this
The huge body, as if it had hit an indestructible city wall, instantly shattered into water droplets that splashed across the sky, wetting the cheeks or hair of the passengers.
The top of the waterway is not like a reinforced and sealed granite ceiling like a corridor, but a purely natural rock wall. Therefore, it is rugged and often has dangerous passes or steep places. At this time, Alcane named Gerney
He will demonstrate his superb swimming skills, either tilting his body slightly to change direction, or casually swinging his flat forelimbs shaped like fish fins to accelerate smoothly. Using these subtle movements that ordinary people will never notice, he can easily swim
It avoids the overhanging rock walls or hanging stone pillars, and does not make the passengers on the back feel any bumps, as if they are not shuttling in a surging river, but moving forward on endless flat ground.
"This technique of manipulating water flow is very clever."
Her Royal Highness Rorona, the sea-dwelling princess from the Intercontinental Sea region, authoritatively certified: "It is not to interfere with the flow of water with magic power, but to control the flow of water, flow speed, deflection force and other information on the premise of allowing the body to
The movements naturally change with the changes in the water flow, thereby achieving a seamless effect. In other words, you do not let the river drive you forward, but follow the river. This technique is extremely demanding on the body's coordination ability.
In addition to the requirements, it also requires the user to have a very in-depth understanding of the waters they are in. Even among our mirror elves, few people can master it."
After saying that, she also praised her with a serious tone: "As expected of the Alkane clan, who are known as the 'water ferrymen'. Your Excellency Gurne really opened my eyes."
If someone of any other race was told bluntly, "You are an excellent boatman," they would probably fall out on the spot, but for the Alkane clan, this is indeed the most flattering compliment, so Gorne accepted it without hesitation.
After receiving this comment, he even laughed twice to save face, although the tone still sounded so cold and contemptuous: "Haha, it is really an honor for me to be praised by the Mirror Elf. But I am very curious, and I have always only lived in
Why did the mirror elves in the deep sea come to the surface? Besides, I can't see any characteristics of the mirror elves in you. If it weren't for your aura being a little disordered, I might have thought you were a pure-blooded human. Ha, that's really interesting.
guy."
"Hahaha, well, there are various reasons, and it's not convenient to reveal them at the moment." Rorona responded in a natural tone: "It is not what a gentleman should do to get to the bottom of a lady.
, or are you saying that Mr. Gernie and Ringer are the same kind of people?"
It's not my business?
Lin Ge, who was lying innocently, glanced at Lorena, who looked away with a guilty conscience and pretended to look at the scenery as if nothing had happened. This reaction was very similar to someone who gets into trouble every day.
"snort."
Garne is not the kind of character who continues to ask shamelessly after being tactfully rejected, so he just snorted coldly in response to Rorona's perfunctory words. After all, in the tradition of the Arkane family,
They are ferry beasts on the water, ferries that lead the living from one shore to the other. They only need to follow their mission. As for the origins and purpose of the guests on the ship, it is not something they need to care about.
.
If the sect had not united to include the Alkane clan in the pursuit, maybe these giant beasts that are dedicated to ferrying would even dare to pick up and drop off their members? Their traditions are so harsh that they will never allow any man-made things.
They usurp their own power, but are so generous and treat everyone who needs to go to the other side equally. Perhaps this also fits the world's impression of water: a thing that nourishes life, but also a thing that brings disasters.
"Lord Gurney," Old Pancras, who was still standing at the front, holding a candlestick as a guiding light, suddenly asked, "Has there been any new situation underground in Lunweting recently?"
"New situation? What are you referring to?" Unseen by everyone, the giant beast in the water grinned with a cold arc: "It refers to the little mice at King Station and the big bats at St. Pierce Station.
The stupidity and greed of fighting for territory only to be wiped out by the Night Watch? Or does it refer to the fact that the city government's 138th operation to clean up the underground people still failed in the end, with 380 miners and 120 diggers
Well workers and twenty-two subway station attendants accompanied them in a comic drama of useless work for three months? There are new situations happening underground in this city every moment. If you don't describe it more accurately,
Oh, my old friend, Pancras, what answer would you like me to give you?"
The rushing river water was separated by the huge body and flowed to both sides. The sound of the rushing water seemed dead and distant in the dark and deep underground cave. The foreigners on the back of the giant beast listened to his answer and realized that Lun
The underground world of Weiting turns out to be so exciting. There are not only aliens, but also so-called underground people.
"Is that an urban legend?" Alice asked curiously, but no one could answer this question.
Only Linge, who had read a book "The Biography of Old Lundu" before entering the city, knew that the so-called underground people were not the humans who often appear in fantasy adventure novels living in the underground world. They have their own unique culture and ecology.
.In fact, they are also Lunweiting people, but they took the initiative to enter this city due to various reasons over the long years - war, famine, fire, unemployment, bankruptcy, avoiding the police, and escaping from reality.
People who live in complex underground systems are called "dangerous elements in the dark" by the authorities, while people on the surface contemptuously call them "underground people".
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is a chapter in "The Biography of Old Lundu" that records: "...a dramatic scene, the lights here are brighter than the sun on the ground, but there is a musty smell.
Taste. I saw the public graves left over from the past era. The original residents of the rows of graves were scattered. Now there are thieves, fraudsters, desperate women, children without clothes, and people who come here to hunt for dead people's stuff.
Hyenas, the locals call them Taoke..."
The word "locals" seems to make them form their own group concept, so although these people live in the dark underground, they refuse to return to the surface. The rulers think this is a sign of restlessness, and believe that long-term living in
People in the underground world may develop a sense of contempt for authority and anti-tradition, so they have repeatedly raided these stubborn underground settlements in an attempt to forcefully bring them back to life on the surface. But as Gernie just said, their
I tried until the 138th action, but still failed.
"Below Lunweiting, there is still Lunweiting." Young people have a deeper understanding of this sentence. It is not only a relic, but also a human being; not only a human being, but also an alien; not only a living thing, but also an ecology.
The only city located on this kind of ecology is the so-called "City of Ten Thousand Cities".
Pancras shook his head slightly: "You know what I'm talking about: Has the excavation work of the Institute of Prehistoric Heritage stopped in the area from Randall Station to Rogue Alley? I haven't heard much from them recently.
.”
"So this is what you were talking about, so you should be more straightforward just now." Gernie lowered his head slightly, avoiding a rock pillar hanging above his head, and said casually: "They dug a whole area in that area.
Three and a half years ago, the noise of cranes and excavators made the nearby aliens panic and disturbed, and also made me a little sleepy. Fortunately, they finally stopped a week ago, and maybe they have dug out what they wanted. Old friend
Pancras, you know the underground of Renwithin best, what do you think they are looking for?"
Pancras frowned and did not answer.
Prehistoric Heritage Research Institute? Excavation work? Three and a half years?
Everyone was curious after hearing the keywords one after another, and they wanted to ask questions, but the old man seemed to have no time to answer, and Gernie didn't seem to be willing to answer, so they could only keep their doubts in their hearts for the time being, and wait until they have the opportunity to ask again.
.
After that, the whole journey was silent. Apart from the sounds of water, undercurrents and whirlpools, there was no other movement. They moved along this river, and there were many tributaries and forks in the middle. All of them were chosen by Gernie.
At first, everyone was still in the mood to write down which path he chose, but gradually they lost patience - because it was too dense, and there were dozens of turns alone. No matter how good the memory is, people will be fooled by this kind of path.
The complicated route made me confused.
The underground system of Renwithin is like a huge network, and more like a living giant. It is expanding at an alarming rate every year, which is enough to make those who think they know it well the second time they come there are stunned.
, thinking that they have entered another world. And if outsiders like Ringer step into it at will and accidentally get lost, they may not be able to find the way out until they die.
About an hour later, the river channel became wider and the river became much gentler. Gernie gradually slowed down and finally stopped at the wooden trestle of another underground ferry. This ferry seemed smaller than the previous one.
The station is a larger circle, with some dilapidated stalls and simple shacks set up. Although no one is there, the torches beside the trestle and on the walls are still burning brightly, illuminating the words on the wooden sign at the entrance of the stairs -
