To say it's a small boat doesn't disparage it at all, it's so damn small!
About six or seven meters long, about three meters wide, and equipped with a four-meter double-headed oar, Yi Chen, Putuo Mel and Sola are taking the boat to the top of Yegla.
To say it is a small boat is to overestimate it. It is more like a canoe enlarged in a circle.
Sola told Yi Chen and Putuomeier that among their Chiwu people, this kind of boat had a nice name called Shuo Zhou.
Some of the wanderers from various tribes of the Chiwu people took shuttle boats upstream along the holy river Ilya and traveled far away, but in the end there was no news from them.
This kind of long journey sounds quite poetic at first glance. A shuttle boat sails up the holy river. The wind is rustling and the water is cold. I will go alone and never return!
But if you think about it carefully, you can tell that the upper reaches of the Holy River Ilia must be full of dangers, otherwise those Chiwu wanderers who go up the river will never return.
Because the shuttle boat is too small, it is full with Yi Chen, Putuo Mel and Sola, plus some salutes. There is no room for the Warning Wula Beast and the three-headed Thunder Beast.
Yi Chen and the other three had no choice, so they found a relatively secluded small valley near the Chiwu Gate, placed the three Thunder Beasts, and ordered the Warning Wula Beast to take care of it.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
With the sound of Sola's double-headed paddle paddling, a slightly old shuttle boat sailed towards the tip of the triangular lake and soon left the Red Crow Gate.
Yi Chen looked up at the towering peaks on both sides of the Holy River Ilia, feeling depressed in his heart. Even in broad daylight, it was difficult for him to see the sun of Arcturus.
Going up the Holy River Ilia from the Chiwu Gate, the river is not wide, only about twenty or thirty meters on average.
Looking down from a high altitude, you can see this river running through the mountains and deep valleys. It is almost invisible. It is hard to believe that it is the famous holy river Ilia among the Chiwu people.
Putuomel, who was sitting at the back of the shuttle boat, sighed:
"Both sides of the Holy River Ilia are mostly covered with cliffs. No one can live along the river here. No wonder people rarely mention it!"
Yi Chen nodded in agreement:
"Well, I agree! It seems that the Red Crow Gate is the dividing point of the Holy River Ilia. The dry rivers downstream are wide and straight, and the places they pass through are either hills or plains. When there is water, it should be a mighty river. . The river here in the upper reaches is winding and winding, and where it flows through canyons or steep mountains, when the water source was sufficient, there would be dense shoals and rapids."
On the shuttle boat, Yi Chen, Putuo Mel and Sola were chatting away.
They marched on the Holy River Ilia for three days without encountering any danger. The only difficulty was that it was upriver, and rowing was more energy-intensive, so they inevitably became a little relaxed.
Putuomel hugged his arms tightly and said:
"Today's temperature feels lower than yesterday. I occasionally saw snow on some mountain tops!"
Yi Chen found a piece of thick clothing from the salute and threw it to Putuomel. By the way, he popularized a common sense:
"Hurry up and put it on! The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature. This is a scientific rule."
Putuomel took the clothes, put them on, and said:
"Ugh, there is this scientific law that we haven't discovered yet. Oh my, I really want to see what an alien world with highly advanced technology looks like!"
Yi Chen answered naturally:
"It's very simple, Putuomel. When we reach the top of Yegra and find the new prisoner transport ship, you will follow me and leave Arcturus."
After hearing this, Putuomel's face was happy at first, and then dimmed:
"No, if I leave, the Yoru Empire will definitely be wiped out by the Asan Empire!"
"..."
Sola, who was paddling, was a little unhappy when she heard Yi Chen and Putuo Mel chatting in the common language of the alien world. She was not targeting Yi Chen, but she didn't like Putuo Mel.
In order to vent his little emotions, Sola deliberately increased his strength and more than doubled the speed of paddling, which greatly increased the speed of the shuttle boat and almost threw Putuo Mel into the river.
Putomel glared at Sora and complained:
"Sora, why didn't you tell me in advance if you wanted to speed up!"
Sora ignored him and continued paddling hard.
Yi Chen didn't take it seriously. The Chiwu people and the Yuanhuang people had been feuding for years, and it was impossible for Sola and Putuomel to have a harmonious relationship in the short term.
At this time, a three-way intersection appeared in the river not far ahead.
Yi Chen and the other three people didn't pay much attention to it. Yi Chen and Putuomeier continued to chat, and Sola still paddled hard because they had encountered many similar intersections in the past three days.
When the shuttle boat had just reached the three forks of the river, Sola suddenly shouted:
"Ouch, my arm hurts!"
Yi Chen and Putuo Mel immediately stopped chatting and quickly looked towards Sola.
Sora's four arms were frozen there, grinning in pain whenever he moved.
Putuomel checked Sola and said uncertainly:
"It was about continuous rowing and sudden overexertion, which caused a temporary spasm in the muscles of the arm. You should rest and recover."
Yi Chen realized that Sola had a cramp in his arm. He said somewhat amusingly:
"Hahaha, Sora, you have always been a kind person, why do you always fight against Putuo Mel? There is no need to bring the conflict between the red black people and the original yellow people into yourself. You, me and her, we They are all friends..."
Yi Chen watched Putuo Mel massaging Sora's arms so that he could persuade Sora from the side.
The shuttle boat lost power and began to drift freely in the river. As a result, it went in and out of the newly branched river.
Yi Chen, Putuo Mel and Sola didn't pay much attention. Their first priority now was to quickly help Sola recover so that Sola could paddle the shuttle boat forward.
This is not because Yi Chen and Putuo Mel bullied Sola and made Sola do hard work, but that the paddle of the shuttle boat was originally designed by the Chiwu people and was only suitable for use by the Chiwu people.
Putuomeier's small body couldn't row a four-meter-long oar at all, and even Yi Chen couldn't use the strength to hold the oar.
The Holy River Ilia is the sacred river of the Chiwu people, so the Chiwu people will sail in this river that has lost its function, and the Yuanhuang people don't even bother to come here.
After a while, the shuttle boat drifted for a distance in the divided river, but Sora's cramped arm had not recovered yet.
There was no other way, so Yi Chen had no choice but to join in helping Sola massage her arms. At the beginning, Yi Chen didn't help Sola massage because of the differences between men and women.
Suddenly, Putuomel said to Yi Chen:
"Did you notice anything wrong?"
Yi Chen opened his mouth and said:
"No, what could be wrong? This section of the river is in a steep canyon, and there are almost no people coming and going. Don't worry!"
Sola was not busy, she just asked Putuo Mel and Yi Chen to massage her arms, so that she could feel it more clearly. She said casually:
"I feel like the shuttle boat is drifting faster and faster!"
Yi Chen felt for a moment that Sola was right, and then his face became a little ugly. He vaguely heard a loud rumbling sound.
At the same time, on Hongluan Star.
When Lao Liu was about to grab Lan Jing, a mecha soldier had already closed the box and carried it in his hand. As soon as Bert picked up the magnetic card, he heard Feng Yuan smile and say: "Haha, thank you Mr. Bert for picking it up for me, thank you." When Feng Yuan said this, a mecha soldier had already held it in one hand. Gun, one hand stretched out in front of Burt.
Seeing the soldier's thunder gun pointed at him intentionally or unintentionally, Bert couldn't help but bitterly said "You're welcome" and reluctantly handed the magnetic card to the soldier. However, although his face was calm, he was scolding in his heart: "Damn Feng Yuan! What do you want this magnetic card for? Do you think it is a bank card!" Of course, he thought that Feng Yuan asked for the magnetic card just out of curiosity. I believe that Feng Yuan will definitely throw it away after reading the contents of the magnetic card. As long as he monitors Feng Yuan closely, he will be able to get the magnetic card back.
Of course Feng Yuan knew the use of these magnetic cards. For the Intelligence Department who wanted to annex Baihua Palace, this was the lifeblood of the Intelligence Department. How could he not hold it in his hands?
Feng Yuan casually threw the scanned securities to a soldier, connected to the intercom of the mercenaries outside and said: "Brothers of the mercenaries, I am your employer - Feng Yuan, I have securities worth one trillion. , as long as you obey my order and destroy Baihua Palace, these securities will be yours!"
Bert was shocked when he heard Feng Yuan report his name. He deliberately concealed Feng Yuan's identity, but Feng Yuan revealed it all at once. What was going on? Wasn't Feng Yuan always very cooperative and didn't say his name? Why did you suddenly change your mind? However, this is fine. By then, more people will know that Feng Yuan is responsible for the Red Luan Star incident. I am afraid that those mercenaries will be scared away when they hear that their boss is Captain Feng Yuan of Doom. This is why he concealed Feng Yuan's identity.
Lao Liu looked at Feng Yuan with his mouth wide open. Is this guy sick or something? He actually gave away so many securities? Even if you have to hire mercenaries, you don’t need so many, right? One trillion can hire tens of millions of mercenaries to work for you. There shouldn't be that many people out there, right? It's such a waste. It's really the so-called don't feel bad about using money that's not yours.
When the mercenaries outside heard Feng Yuan's name, they were stunned for a moment, then involuntarily opened their mouths and looked at their companions beside them. Feng Yuan is actually his boss? ! Damn it, even if you have a relationship with him, it won't end well! The mercenaries were ready to run away when they thought of this. But when Feng Yuan said the words securities worth one trillion, everyone was stunned.
A relatively slow-minded mercenary couldn't figure out how much one trillion was after checking his fingers several times. He couldn't help asking his companions for help: "Brother, how much is one trillion?"
