Fortunately, it came out before 12 o'clock in the middle of the night Chapter 416: River of Hope "Follow the river and go down the river, which will speed up the team."
Standing on the riverside, he looked at Lan Lan on a cold night and smiled gently.
Lan Lan immediately communicated quickly with Tacitus beside her.
The two of them stared at the river in front of them at the same time.
The river is not too wide and the water is not fast, but the speed of the water is still not slow.
The surface of the water seems to be calm, the water is very clear, and even standing on the shore, you can see the pebbles that have been rounded by the adult months under the shallow water of the river.
The river stretches all the way north to the end of the line.
On both sides of the river, there is an endless wilderness on both sides, and the cold night is right, the continent is indeed too barren.
Obviously, there is nothing extreme about the climate here, but after walking all the way down in the past few days, I rarely see any lush vegetation.
Occasionally, I saw some sparse bushes, all of which were short and thin shrubs, like the towering trees in the Roland Continent, which were absolutely none.
Lan Lan and Tacitus discussed for a while, then looked at the cold night and asked, "Lord Cold Night" Since knowing that the cold night was actually the sister of the falling snow, Lan Lan's attitude towards this elf has become more and more respectful of the encounter with the falling snow in the frozen forest, and the fierce battle between the falling snow and the red water on the shore of the Great Round Lake, Lan Lan has seen it from beginning to end is more about the relationship between her and Du Weiwei, and she also knows some legends about falling snow from Du Weiwei's mouth.
And at this moment, this sister who fell snow was standing in front of her, and she had seen her show amazing strength before, how to make Lan Lan not reverent "Lord Cold, we don't have a boat, so can we only walk along this river?"
Hanye smiled faintly: "It's not okay to walk." ” After a pause, she explained, "This river is the longest river in the middle of the entire continent.
We all call it Surumbi, and you know what that means. ” Lan Lan nodded: "In Surumby's elven language, does it mean hope?"
"Yes, hope.
It is known to us as the River of Hope.
Speaking of this, Han Ye glanced at Lan Lan deeply: "Do you know why?"
"Why" Lan Lan heard that the tone of the cold night was a little complicated.
"Because" a certain blurred gaze flashed in the charming eyes of the cold night, she smiled lightly, her golden hair fluttering in the breeze, and then said slowly: "Legend has it that 10,000 years ago, our ancestors left their homes and were expelled to this continent by humans.
At that time, the entire continent here was still a bitter cold land.
In order to survive, our ancestors had to search all over the continent, searching for all the suitable areas that could allow us to inhabit.
However, what made the ancestors helpless.
This forsaken continent is like the heavens, a place where the gods punish us sinners.
This continent is not only blessed with extremely bad weather and barren land.
At the same time, there are many terrifying monsters.
Those monsters are all terrifying existences made by powerful demons in ancient times.
They are powerful and dangerous, and they inhabited the continent before we did.
Our people, looking for a suitable habitat on this continent, have to search everywhere and the process is very dangerous.
We have sent the bravest and most courageous warriors, but these excellent warriors have always encountered all kinds of dangers.
The powerful monsters that inhabit the continent take over many parts of the continent, and our warriors are often attacked and killed.
In the beginning, our tribe suffered heavy losses."
When he said this, Hanye's tone became a little sad and low.
Then she stared at the river in front of her, slowly walked to the river, bent down, gently picked up a handful of water, and whispered: "Later, after paying countless sacrifices, we finally discovered a strange pattern. ” "Regularity," Lan Lan's eyes widened.
"This river, this river that we later called Surumbi.
It's the only line of safety on the entire continent."
The title of safety line was immediately firmly remembered by Lan Lan.
"You can't imagine how terrible those monsters on this continent are, our various tribes, although they were originally defeated races, we have lost too many elites and powerful warriors in the war with humans, but even so, when we came to this continent, we still had some excellent warriors to protect everyone.
However, what made everyone desperate was that even a powerful warrior whose strength had reached the Holy Rank ended up with a sinking sand and a halberd when facing some monsters."
Holy Order Lan Lan exclaimed.
But then, she was relieved again.
That octopus-like monster, its power is what Lan Lan has witnessed Even Tacitus, a powerful high-level warrior who was already considered a top martial artist in the Temple of Light, was almost killed in an instant when he faced that octopus monster It is conceivable that since that octopus monster can directly kill a high-level powerhouse in seconds, then its strength should be comparable to that of the Holy Rank "Even the saint-level warriors are not sure that they can protect themselves, so how can we complete the exploration of this land, so this river of hope has become our lifeline Our ancestors discovered that as long as we followed this river all the way south, which was more than 5,000 miles long, there were no monsters on either side of it Later, according to the results of our ancestors' exploration, it was also revealed that the territory of the monsters that we identified seemed to follow a strange rule: their territory cleverly bypassed the route of the river.
As you can imagine, in the beginning, after we lost too many strong men and masters, we were almost desperate in the face of this dangerous continent.
And at this time, it is so exciting to suddenly find such a safety line of hope.
So, relying on the earliest ancestors along this river, several settlements were established to allow our ancestors and people to multiply.
Although the climate is still cruel, and although the land is still barren, at least they can get a safe area where they can breathe slowly. ” Hearing this, Lan Lan let out a long sigh, but the eyes looking at the river in front of her became more and more strange.

Han Ye saw the confusion in Lan Lan's eyes, and smiled slightly: "You must be curious, why do those terrible monsters avoid this river" "Hmm.
I think there must be some special reason for this, isn't it?"
"There's a reason, of course."
Cold Night smiled bitterly: "In the earliest days, our ancestors also tried to use many methods to figure out this answer.
After all, the monsters that inhabit this continent will be one of the greatest enemies of the ancestors in the future.
If we can figure out why those monsters are avoiding this river, then maybe we can use this answer to fight those monsters. ” "Have you found the answer?"
Lan Lan asked.
The cold night was silent for a long time, and she looked at Lan Lan.
To Lan Lan's disappointment, the eyes of the cold night obviously became strange.
But she didn't answer She just seemed to smile, Lan Lan could clearly feel that there seemed to be a lot of things hidden in the smile and eyes of the cold night.
But this elf didn't say anything, but Lan Lan didn't want to continue to ask.
Hanye pointed in the direction of the north of the river and said softly: "From here, go north along the river, well, with the speed of your hurry, it will take about three or five days to walk, and you can see a forest."
It was a very peculiar plant.
They are not very tall, but they can grow a particularly wide type of leaves.
That kind of leaf is very tough.
If a leaf is collected and landed on the water, it is enough to hold three or five people floating on the water.
Now in the season, the leaves have not yet withered, so we can go and collect some leaves and use those leaves as a boat.
If you go north, you will be able to travel much faster.
And it's the safest way to do it.
Of course, you'd better tell your people that no matter what happens along the way, you should never leave the river bank more than a hundred meters away Because although this river is a safety line, its basin still runs through the territory of several powerful monsters along the way.
Those monsters are so powerful that even I wouldn't easily provoke them.
I don't think you have a way to fight that. ” Do not leave the banks of the river for a hundred meters 100 meters is a very narrow distance Lan Lan immediately felt the smell of danger in it, and she couldn't help but say, "Lord Cold Night, even if you are a strong person, you should have surpassed the Holy Rank in strength."
Han Ye glanced at Lan Lan, her tone became strange, and she said slowly: "Strong strength is not used as a killing power. ” This sentence made Lan Lan a little confused.
Then the cold night said in a deep voice: "I went to the area where you landed and killed that monster for a special reason.
That monster was a little different from the others.
It has two power castes and can survive in the sea, so the barrenness of the continent does not affect it too much, so that kind of monster is the fastest of all the monsters on this continent.
In such a barren land, if a powerful and extremely dangerous monster appears, and its ability to reproduce is too fast, then it will upset the balance here and bring a great threat to all races Therefore, our elven clan, as a last resort, will send all the powerful clansmen to come forward and hunt some such octopus monsters.
We elves don't like to kill, but we can only do so in order to maintain the balance of nature here. ” Lan Lan noticed that when she said this explanation again in the cold night, she accidentally acquiesced to a fact.
That is: her strength has indeed reached the level above the Holy Rank Moreover, with Lan Lan's guess, I'm afraid it is still far beyond the level of the Holy Order Because, this elf, when hunting that octopus monster, seems to be very easy According to the instructions of the cold night, the procession followed the river to the north.
After a difficult walk, on the sixth day, I found the kind of place that Cold Night said would grow huge leaves that could be used as a boat.
Looking at the "woods" mentioned in the cold night in front of them, many humans were emotional.
The "woods" in the mouth of the cold night are actually just a dozen or so trees that are very sparse.
The tree is indeed not very tall, only about two or three meters tall.
People from the Roland Continent had never seen such a peculiar plant: its trunk, the thickest one, was only as thick as an adult's waist, and even then it could not be cut down to make a wooden boat, because there were only two or three trees with such a thick waist, and most of them were only the thickness of a bowl.
Such a relatively slender trunk, but their appearance is shocking.
Each tree looks like a huge umbrella.
Their canopy is covered with large expanses of huge leaves.
This kind of leaf is extremely thick, and to the touch, it is about the thickness of a person's fist, and it is very tough when you squeeze it hard.
From a visual point of view, the smallest leaves are also two or three percent larger than the dining table of ordinary people Each leaf is in the shape of a natural bowl, and as long as it is collected and thrown into the river, it happens to be like a natural boat.
Although the leaves are large and thick, they are relatively light in weight and have a lot of buoyancy.
Some of the leaves were collected and thrown into the water, which was big enough for three or five people.
Under the guidance of the cold night, the crew and sailors of the team started to collect this kind of leaves.
But Cold Night made a strict request: the elf sternly warned the humans that it was absolutely forbidden for them to cut down these trees, and even if they accidentally broke a branch, they would get a stern look from the elf "On this continent, any life is precious, even the growth of a single grass is extremely difficult, and it seems to be life here.
These trees are extremely precious things, and I allow you to collect them because after this season, the leaves will naturally wither and fall off, and they will grow again the following year.
But if you break the branches, then these trees will probably not be able to grow these precious leaves again the next year, and as for cutting them down, don't even think about throwing them into the river if anyone dares to mess around."

The stern warning of the cold night was fully respected by Tacitus and other people in the church.
And the loose sailors and crew were also sternly admonished one by one, so what worried Hanye did not happen.
And then the cold night said a fact, which made everyone very pleased.
"These leaves, in addition to being used as boats to cross the river.
Another special feature of it is that these leaves can be eaten as food.
Of course, the taste may be checked, and the taste is a little dry.
But it really fills the stomach.
This has been confirmed by our elves and orcs, of course, and those races that only like to eat meat are not counted. ” But eat The humans were pleasantly surprised.
Even Lan Lan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief In fact, there really wasn't too much food in her storage ring.
After all, after coming to this continent, I didn't find any inhabited places, it was very desolate, and I really couldn't find any food, even wild beasts were difficult to see, and it was very difficult to hunt and get food.
Although I have caught some marine fish at the beach, I am afraid that there may not be enough food to eat when I think that there is still such a long way to go in the future.
After all, the storage ring in Lan Lan's hand does not contain unlimited space.
Of course, in order to confirm the cold night's words, Tacitus experimented very carefully.
He personally tasted a small piece of this "ship leaf".
I have to say that the evaluation of "slightly bitter taste" said by Hanye is too conservative.
When you eat this leaf, the texture is as tough as the hardest old beef, so tough that it is hard to chew, and if you bite too much, a lot of slightly bitter green juice will flow, but fortunately, it is barely tolerable.
However, the stomach does not lie.
This thing really gives people a feeling of "fullness", and after Tacitus tried it, he ate a meal of leaves, and after waiting for a long time, he confirmed it.
Eating this kind of leaf will indeed bring exactly the same effect to people as food: the nutrients that the human body needs.
Although it is a little unpalatable, in this kind of place, you can't ask for more.
So, after collecting more than 30 leaves, people collected more than 100 leaves, all of which were stored in the blue storage ring, which could not be placed, and were stacked together as boats.
A hundred leaves is already the limit that the cold night allows them to collect.
After all, too many leaves are collected, which can also harm the vitality of these trees.
But at least, after solving the hidden danger of food, even Tacitus, who had been frowning all the way, seemed to be much more relaxed.
As for the river in front of Tamsui, everyone's worries have been completely solved.
After more than 30 leaves were launched, the adventure team ushered in a smooth journey.
For the next twenty days, everyone leaned on these leaves to enter the water every day.
The river is not in a straight line, and it twists and turns along the way.
But after being warned of a cold night, everyone would rather endure this winding voyage on the water, and no one dared to set foot ashore and walk in straight lines and shortcuts.
Especially on several nights, when the cold night tells everyone that the area through which the river passes through happens to pass through the territory of some powerful monsters In the middle of the night, everyone sat on the leaves of the boat, and they could clearly hear some strange sounds coming from the shore and land Some of them were like the howls of wild beasts, and the sound was like thunder, with a sense of oppression that was almost suffocating Sometimes, in the middle of the night, someone clearly saw that not far from the river, as if he saw a huge shadow moving slowly Judging from the silhouette of the shadow in the night, the size of that monster should be larger than that octopus monster on the seaside As you can imagine, if this team encounters such a huge giant monster on land, then the fate can be imagined Fortunately, the cold night statement was confirmed Neither the terrible roars nor the frighteningly large silhouette of the monster that had been seen with one's own eyes were close to the river, but remained about a hundred meters away.
Along the way, there are no dangers.
Until the twenty-fifth day of sailing on the river In the distance in front of the river, you can clearly see a mountain.
This mountain is not too high, if it is in the Roland Empire, it can only be regarded as a small mountain.
This hillside forms a canyon-like terrain.
In the distance, the river is piercing into the canyon What made Tacitus and Lan Lan and the others excited was that they clearly saw that at the entrance to the canyon, there was a platform made of stones Although it looks simple, it is indeed not a product of nature, but a man-made pile Moreover, in the distance, you can see that in the canyon, there is a faint note of green smoke slowly rising Obviously, after more than a month, everyone saw a populated place for the first time on this land Or rather, a place where the higher races live Looking at the excited appearance of Lan Lan and Tacitus and other humans, Han Ye was on the side, and said in an indifferent tone: "I don't want to discourage your good mood, but I want to remind you that although this canyon in front of you is a multi-racial settlement, the owners here have no good feelings for humans." ” After a pause, Han Ye's tone became more serious: "For a while, you only follow me, don't get separated, only by my side, they won't do anything to you, otherwise I don't dare to guarantee your safety, remember my words" is not finished.
