After regaining the shuttle boat, Yi Chen, Putuo Mel and Sola continued to go up the holy river Ilia, looking for the legendary Yegla Peak. This time they no longer dared to rely solely on Sola to paddle, so as not to make the same mistake again, they specially made two smaller oars and fixed them on both sides of the shuttle boat. The three of them took turns paddling to push the shuttle boat forward in the river. .
During the march, they would occasionally encounter other Chiwu pilgrims in the river. Yi Chen, Putuo Mel and Sola all hurriedly avoided it, lest others recognize their shuttle boats and snatch them from others. People, causing unnecessary trouble.
The Holy River Ilya becomes more dangerous as you go upstream. There are dense shoals, three-fork river mouths, and deep mountain waterfalls. If you don't pay attention, you will either sink and drown or be washed off the cliff and be thrown to pieces.
"Sora, hurry up and use that double-ended paddle to help. The flow rate at the mouth of this three-pronged river is a bit fast. There might be another deep mountain waterfall downstream of the river in the other direction!"
Yi Chen, who was paddling to push the shuttle boat through the mouth of a three-forked river, suddenly reminded Sola loudly.
Sola did not dare to neglect, picked up the double-headed oar and started paddling hard. The speed of the shuttle boat immediately accelerated a lot, and soon it was far away from the mouth of the Sancha River.
"Okay, Sora, you can rest, I can row alone!"
Seeing Sola panting heavily, Yi Chen asked Sola to stop paddling.
"Yi Chen, are you tired? Why don't you let me take your place?"
Putuomeier, who was sitting behind Yi Chen, also spoke at this time.
"No, you can continue to rest, I'm not tired yet!"
Yi Chen directly rejected Putuomeier's kindness and continued paddling vigorously.
"Well, okay, then let me give you a slap on the back!"
Putuomel said as he raised his fist and beat it gently on Yi Chen's back.
On the shuttle boat, one person rowed, another person beat his back, and another person stood on the bow of the boat and looked around, quietly moving forward in the river in the deep mountains and canyons.
This is what Yi Chen, Putuo Mel and Sola summed up from the experience of passing through the mouth of the Sancha River. The two of them cooperated to increase the intensity of pushing the shuttle boat to avoid being washed into the deep mountains and waterfalls.
Today's holy river Ilya stretches windingly in the mountains of the plateau. It has countless waterfalls in the mountains, so you must always be careful.
Many so-called pilgrims among the Chiwu people do not have superhuman abilities like Yi Chen. Once they are rushed into the river where the waterfall is located in the deep mountain, they will basically die. This may be the reason why Ilia, who traced the Holy River to explore the Chiwu people, never came back!
"Sagato, look at the snow on the mountain peaks on both sides of the river. Will the river freeze if you go further up the river?"
Sora, who was standing on the bow of the ship and watching, saw the changes in the surrounding environment and asked worriedly.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. No matter whether the river will freeze or not, we must keep moving forward!"
Yi Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the snow-covered peaks on both sides of the bank, and answered firmly.
"With so many snow-capped mountains, we should have arrived at the Tianji Plateau in the original yellow world. Even the sky sail warships can't fly up to the Tianji Plateau. This place is too high."
Putuomel judged based on the topography on both sides of the river.
"Putuo Mel, I remember you once said that the lift-off limit of the sky sail warship is 3,000 meters, right?"
Yi Chen estimated the altitude here in his mind and asked.
"Yes, once the sky sail battleships lift off beyond 3,000 meters, their aerostats will fail and they will fall from high altitudes, destroying the ships and killing people."
Putuomel said helplessly.
After receiving a positive answer, Yi Chen guessed that the altitude here must be more than 3,000 meters, so wouldn't the altitude of the top of Yegla be higher?
High altitude is a challenge for any living thing. Before the 20th century, no one could climb the peaks above several thousand meters above sea level. Without the assistance of various technological equipment, it would be difficult to breathe at high altitudes, let alone climb mountains.
"Fortunately, my body is different from ordinary people now, so I won't be afraid even if I do it again on the top of Yegra!"
Yi Chen secretly cheered himself up.
"Sagato, look, what is that!"
Suddenly, Sora, who was standing at the bow of the ship, screamed.
I saw a wall of water rising from the river, almost 30 meters high.
"Ah, what is that? Is there some kind of water monster?"
Seeing such a strange sight, Putuomel couldn't help but ask a shocking question, which made people laugh.
Yi Chen felt that this might be Putuomel's altitude sickness. Due to the reduction in inhaled oxygen, the brain would compensate for the lack of oxygen and even produce hallucinations.
"Putuo Mel, that's not a water monster, Sola, you don't need to panic, it's just a wall of water blocking a river and a waterfall!"
Yi Chen narrowed his eyes, looked carefully for a while, and said to Putuo Mel and Sola.
Sure enough, as Yi Chen said, after the shuttle boat approached, the three of them finally saw everything clearly. A waterfall of more than 30 meters high blocked their progress.
To be precise, the river is more than 30 meters too high, forming this waterfall, which makes it impossible for ships below to sail up. Moreover, there are towering cliffs on both sides of the river, and there is no bifurcation of the river to go around elsewhere.
"Zagato, these are troublesome, we can't continue sailing!"
Sora said worriedly.
"Yi Chen, what should we do now?"
Putuomel looked at Yi Chen and asked.
At this moment, both of them had no idea. In their understanding, the shuttle boat could not sail up to the waterfall at all, and the trip to the top of Yegla would probably come to nothing.
Yi Chen did not answer them in a hurry, frowned, stood up and looked around. He was determined not to turn around and return. Finding a new prisoner transport ship at the top of Yegra was his hope of leaving Arcturus.
"Hahaha, yes. Didn't I just say that there must be a road for the car to reach the mountain, so it will definitely be difficult for the boat to reach the waterfall!"
Yi Chen discovered that there were small peaks on both sides of the river waterfall. There were some protruding stones on the small peaks. He had an idea in his mind and laughed.
Immediately, Yi Chen rowed the shuttle boat to the foot of a small mountain peak, then found a rope and tied the shuttle boat tightly, and finally took the other end of the rope and jumped towards the raised stone on the mountain peak.
"Putuomeier, what is Sagato doing? Do you know?"
Sora asked, not knowing why.
"Hehehe, Sora, have you forgotten that we are trapped on a cliff?
Putomel did not answer directly and asked Sora instead.
"Ugh, I understand!"
Although Sora was the slowest to react among the three, he roughly understood it now. So at this moment, he saw that Yi Chen had relied on the protruding rocks on the mountain peak and jumped to the small mountain peak step by step.
Yi Chen came to Xiaofeng Mountain and tied the other end of the rope to a big tree. He turned his head and looked upstream of the dam waterfall to see another winding river coming from the deep mountains.
Suddenly, a strange structure suddenly attracted Yi Chen's attention.
Not far from the river waterfall, I saw a huge boulder connecting the tops of two mountains. The tops of the two mountains and the boulders combined together were like a naturally formed portal, and the channel of the Holy River Ilia , flows right through this portal.
"Nature is such a miraculous craftsmanship!"
Yi Chen couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Soon Yi Chen returned to the shuttle boat from the small mountain peak and asked with a proud smile:
"Hahaha, how about it? Now you understand how we crossed this river and waterfall!"
Putuo Mel and Sola smiled and said nothing. They spread their hands and made a gesture for Yi Chen to pick them up.
Yi Chen understood it immediately, and both of them understood his intention. They had originally wanted to make a fuss, but they immediately put it away.
After two trips back and forth, Yi Chen carried Putuo Mel and Sola respectively and climbed up the small mountain. Then the three of them pulled their shuttle boat up the river upstream of the dam waterfall. Finally, Yi Chen and Sola cooperated to continue rowing. go ahead.
When the shuttle boat passed through the naturally formed portal, Putuomel was shocked and raised his head to look at it carefully.
Suddenly, Putuomel shouted:
"Yi Chen, Sola, you two row slowly. There seems to be writing on the boulder across the two mountains. I want to take a closer look!"
Because I don’t know how much time has passed, the words on the boulder are a bit weathered and blurry, and there seem to be four characters.
Sora was illiterate, so of course he didn't recognize it. He only knew the common characters of the alien world and some characters on Earth. He was blind to the characters above, but he felt as if he had seen them before and couldn't remember them for a while.
"Men... Wu... What is this? What exactly is it? Oops, the writing of these Chiwu people is so blurry that it's impossible to confirm the original font!"
Putuomel studied it for a long time and said with some regret.
"Red Crow Gate!"
Yi Chen suddenly blurted out. He finally remembered that there was this type of font in the huge stone carvings of the Sak people's true temple.
Since Yi Chen was deeply impressed by the four words Chiwuzhimen, he named Chiwuzhimen.
"Yi Chen, do you really see clearly that these four characters are Chiwu Zhimen? Why do I feel that two of the basic characters are not clear clearly! How did you do it?"
Yi Chen smiled and said:
"Ah, Putuo Mel, I can't see clearly either. I just think that the two characters "men" and "wu" are similar to two of the four characters "Red Crow Gate" in the huge stone carvings in the True Temple. Just blurted it out."
Putuomel couldn't help but rolled his eyes:
"You, really, I was so surprised that I thought you saw the other two words clearly!"
Sora interrupted and said, this place is like a gate. The mountains on both sides and the huge rocks above are the threshold. Don't you think so? Maybe those four words are the Red Crow Gate mentioned by Sagato.
After listening to Sola's words, Putuomeier and Yi Chen felt that what Sola said was quite reasonable. At the same time, they both thought of the text they saw on the stone wall of Zaizhen Temple. Maybe these four The word is really the Gate of Red Crow.
This is the real Chiwu Gate, it turns out that one is fake
