Song Siyuan knew that Yue Guanchao had more field experience than she did. She followed the instructions and tied her and Aying's bodies to the cabin with hemp ropes. When everyone was done, the rocky beach was already in front of them.
Yue Guanchao stood by the window and looked forward. The surrounding mountains receded, the water surface gradually widened, the deep river gradually became shallower, and even the rugged and abrupt boulders at the bottom of the river could be seen.
They are like the teeth of an animal, with bumps and convexities. The river is divided into thousands of large and small whirlpools. Coupled with the turbulence in the water that changes its course at any time, the boat will definitely be overturned and sunk before it is even halfway through.
Bang!
When the awning boat entered the rocky beach, huge waves surged at the mouth of the river. The small awning boat was like a dragon flipping over the river. The water splashed in the noisy boat. The hull was carried forward by the rapid current and almost broke apart.
"The big one is coming, everyone, hurry up!"
Not far from the awning boat, a solitary peak that divides the water stands in front of it.
This mountain peak is covered with green and full of weeds and shrubs. It is only a few feet wide but more than a hundred feet high. From a distance, it looks like a pointed bamboo shoot pointing towards the sky, splitting the river into two parts, and at the same time creating left and right eddies on both sides of the solitary peak. , everything captured by the current will be unable to break free and hit the cliff violently, even stones will be shattered into pieces.
What's even more terrifying is that no matter which direction the ship passes, there is absolutely no possibility of their ship escaping. Once it is caught by the current, it can only hit it and pass by.
Zhi~ah quack~
As expected, their ship kept approaching the lonely peak, and the fate of collision was inevitable!
The black-topped boat seemed to understand its fate. When it was caught by the current and spun towards the lonely peak, the whole boat creaked and roared, like an old scalper who did not dare to die, begging in a low voice and ducking back.
Boom...Crack! !
There was a loud noise, and the boat was shot to the bottom of the cliff. Yue Guanchao felt that the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking so hard that his brain almost fainted!
He suppressed his headache and looked at the three of them. Lu Fengjian, Song Siyuan, and Aying's faces were covered with blood, and their eyes became confused as if they had just woken up!
He felt his nose was hot, and when he touched it with his hand, he was shocked and bleeding.
"Fengjian, Miss Song, Aying, please wake up quickly, you can't sleep at this time!"
One wave came after another, and before he could wipe the blood from his face, violent turbulence hit, and the U-Peng boat was hit by huge waves again.
The back of Yue Guanchao's head was violently shocked, his vision went dark, and he fainted!
…
Wow!
Wow!
Yue Guanchao's eyelids trembled and he gradually regained consciousness. He only felt a stinging pain on the back of his head and struggled to open his eyes.
"Where is...where?"
He took off the hemp rope and touched the back of his head, and sure enough there was blood. The three people around him were still unconscious, with bloodshot eyes, noses, and ears hanging from their mouths, looking as weak as if they were just waking up from a serious illness.
"Miss Song, wake up!"
"Feng Jian, get up quickly."
"Aying, cheer up."
After a shake, the three people woke up from their coma. Yue Guanchao quickly untied them from the cabin. The four people sat in the cabin for a long time. When their physical strength was almost restored, they gradually walked out of the cabin.
Everyone stood on the ship's deck and looked back. Several wooden boards on the top of the roof were lifted off, the ship's railings were knocked crooked, and there was a layer of gravel, soil and dead yellow leaves piled on the ship's deck.
Yue Guanchao cursed, luckily the hull of the ship was quite collision-resistant, otherwise they would have been sunk by themselves.
"Where is this place? We have been unconscious all day, why is there no sun?"
They found that the sky was always gray and never completely brightened. Although there was the sun, it was always hidden in the clouds and fog that lingered for a long time. The clouds and gray fog mixed together, covering the mountain peaks like cotton with thick gray shells, and even the surrounding areas were covered with clouds. Through the hazy and chaotic gray fog, the distance that can be seen is only a few tens of meters in front of the ship. Any further away, the traces are blurred and invisible.
Only mysterious black shadows are vaguely moving around. I don’t know if they are the rustling branches on the river bank or the beasts dormant in the forest!
Lu Fengjian took out his pocket watch, and it was only noon!
Yue Guanchao glanced at Lu Fengjian and his eyes became wary: "No matter where this place is, it is definitely not a good place. We have to pick up the trouble to avoid being locked up and beaten."
As he spoke, he took out three long spears to disperse the crowd, and paddled the boat into the gray fog ahead.
Along the way, Yue Guanchao felt evil energy entering his body, which reminded him of the feeling of walking on the mountain road in Yintuo Village, and made him feel uncomfortable all over.
About a hundred or ten meters ahead of the boat, a stone arch suddenly appeared in front of the boat. This stone arch seemed to have been washed by the mountains and rivers. It used the foot of the mountains on both sides as fulcrums to arch a huge corridor ring gate, which was even taller than the stone archways in the villages and towns. Much higher.
There is a stone tablet hanging in the center of the lintel, with the words "Witch Coffin Town" written in strange runes. It may be that no one has been here for a long time. The arcade is full of dead vines and weeds, and the fine spider silk almost ruins the plaque. Covered!
"We're here, this seems to be Witch Coffin Town."
Yue Guanchao sped up the boat and took them into the stone arcade. They stopped in front of a ferry.
They disembarked and walked onto the pallet. The gray sky remained unchanged, except for the occasional snowflakes that scattered down and covered the ground with a layer of gray.
"Autumn hasn't come yet, how can it snow?"
Aying opened her palms and let the snowflakes fall on her hands. After seeing the true appearance of the snowflakes, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Look, these are not snowflakes."
Everyone heard her cry and surrounded her. The light snowflakes broke into pieces when picked up. It smelled like burning, which was clearly fly ash.
"Interesting? There are no snowflakes in the sky, only ashes."
Yue Guanchao looked at Song Siyuan beside him and joked casually: "Miss Song, is this enough for you to write a big news?"
Song Siyuan picked up the camera and looked at the Witch Coffin Town, which was full of streets and connected houses. She clicked the shutter button and took a close-up. She murmured to herself: "This is no longer a matter of big news. I always thought The fire in Witch Coffin Town has been extinguished, what does it mean if ashes are still flying?"
Lu Fengjian's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized the deep meaning of her words:
"It means that maybe the fire in the ground hasn't been extinguished yet!"
