The Age of Machines

Chapter 823

Ding, you have come to Linchuan Heihe.

The seven people who were exhausted from the "journey" stood on the bank of the long and quiet river, looking at the palace shrouded in blue light, and for some reason, they were all stunned.After they crossed the Black Stream, there was a long narrow mountain road, the road was quiet, and they didn't encounter any wild monsters along the way.

After exiting the narrow passage, what appeared in front of their eyes was the Qingguang Palace and the quiet Heihe River.No one opened their mouths to break the eerie silence. The scenery in front of them was somewhat incompatible with what they had seen before.I didn't expect that there would be such a palace hidden in the depths of the island.

From a distance, the palace seems to be integrated into the vast night of heaven and earth. It shouldn't exist in the world, but the surrounding bluestones set off the original appearance of the palace.Standing proudly among the mountains and rocks, it has been weathered for a long time, but it still does not lose its former glory.

This is Linchuan Heihe.

The river spreads to both sides, connecting the continuous black mountains, the night is hazy, like a mirage in a trance, the black mountains seem to be covered with light veils, faintly looming.The end of the river is too far away in their view, it is the line of water and sky leading to eternal life and death.

"Flowing along the river, on the other side of Huangquan."

The civet cat's voice was like a breeze blowing in the ears, and the six of them pulled back their thoughts and looked at the woman on the far right.She moved her body slightly, and a stone tablet came into her eyes first, and the eight characters engraved on the tablet were engraved in her heart stroke by stroke.

"This should be a restricted area."

I don't know if the palace will be able to draw an end to their trip.

"It's over." One day at a time, they walked to the edge of the river bank and looked down. There was a distance of two meters between the stone bank and the river water. Naturally, it was no problem for them to jump directly from this height, but the important thing was, how deep was the river?
This is no stream.

"We can't be the same as before. I think the river is not shallow. Are we going to swim across it?" Every day turned to look at Beixi and the others, waiting for their decision.

"Swim over? I don't want to." Ukiyo-e expressed his reluctance very directly.God knows if the water stinks or not.

It seems that the palace is close at hand, but in fact it is far away.And it's hard for anyone to say whether there is any danger in the Heihe River.

"Beibei, there is a boat there." Lollipop stood on the other side, pointing to a place under the bank and said in a rather excited tone.This discovery is very important. If the boat can be used, they can go there by boat.

A group of people gathered at her place.

A small wooden boat was swaying with the waves on the water. It was tied to a wooden post along the shore, alone, as if waiting for someone.

"There's a way down here."

Rashomon's eyes were sharp, and he found an empty gap between the weeds and stones. With a slight wave of weeds, a not-so-smooth road appeared in front of him.

"Be careful. Go ahead one day." Tanuki said, asking him to turn on the magic lamp.

One day is one day carrying the sword, brushing aside the weeds with one hand and walking down the bumpy and narrow path.Lots of rocks and gravel, and some strange plants with spikes.

If you are not careful, your clothes will be punctured.

The lollipop followed Ukiyo-e with the hem of the skirt, and the more it went down, the more withered and strange plants there were.Although dead, those spikes are still there.Blatantly, "attack" them.

Beixi broke up with Weishengmo.

She doesn't have so many scruples, and her fashion is not beautiful, just the plain clothes in ordinary NPC shops.However, as for the mechanic's scattered mechanic pendants, no matter how simple it is, it is also very handsome.

The mechanical glove on Beixi's hand is not in a combat form, but like an ordinary military glove, with a few fingers exposed, only covering the back and palm of the hand.There is a semicircular crystal blue gemstone on the back of the hand, occasionally a few rays of light will jump out, and after the explosion, it will form a simple magic circle rotation.

Under normal circumstances, this glove not only covers one hand, but if you open their sleeves, you will find that even under normal conditions, their entire arms are covered with delicate and ancient patterns, as if they were born with It is usually carved on their bodies, which is the sign of a mechanic.

In combat, the mechanical glove occupies half of the mechanic's arm, or the entire arm.They have specific forms, and each mechanic is different.

Beixi walked without any scruples. Anyway, she has a petite body. The road is too narrow for others, but for her, it is just right.

Walking slowly, listening to the lollipops in front of them complaining from time to time, Beixi was in a strangely good mood.Suddenly there was a force behind her to stop her from moving forward, Beixi pulled her shoulders, and she was forced to stop.Looking back, his cloak was hanging from the spikes.

I pulled it, but I still can't pull it off.

Wei Shengmo stretched out his hand to help her pull, "click", it split open.

How can it be so unbearable.Before Beixi could speak, the man said first: "I will compensate you with myself." His expression was serious.

Beixi: "You are mine in the first place, if you pay yourself to me, then I don't get any benefits?"

Give him a glance, clap your hands and don't care to keep up with the big troops.Wei Shengmo was in a good mood, and posted it in a muffled voice, "Beibei."

"Say." Bei Xi felt a little helpless towards the man behind him who rested his chin on her head.

"I have a cold, I need a kiss to get better."

Beixi said with a playful smile: "Do you want me to treat you with my fist?"

There was no sound from behind, Bei Xi thought to himself that this person knew how to restrain himself.Unexpectedly, when the collar was tightened, the forward steps were pulled back by Shengsheng.Wei Shengmo hooked her collar at the back of her neck, and Bei Xi was about to turn around and give her a fist, when the man said, "You also have a spar on the back of your neck."

What exactly is the mechanization of a mechanic.

Apart from Beixi's face, there was no abnormality. In fact, the surface of the skin was gradually condensing spar.Beixi himself is not very clear about what will happen in the end.Anyway, nature is harmless to them.

The man behind lowered his head slowly.

The moment his soft lips fell on his neck, Bei Xi's body froze because he was distracted by what he said.

"Micro-generated ink." It is usually called the full name, and it seems that something indescribable will happen next.

The man quickly let go and stood up, smiling and saying, "I'm here."

Beixi clutched her neck, and stared sideways at the person with smug eyes.

He seemed innocent, and his tone was a bit tired. "I'm tired."

So naturally you need motivation.

Beixi is purely a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person. He buried his head and walked forward, still yelling: "Next time you do this again, I will beat you to death."

The people in front of them looked back at the two of them for no reason, who were they trying to kill?
One is calm and relaxed, and the other is expressionless, which is intriguing.

The civet cat couldn't help but roll its eyes at the two of them.

Soon they came to the wooden boat.Looking at it from a close distance, the ship is not dilapidated and can be used.One day is the first day to get on the boat, and several people will follow.It seemed just right for the wooden boat to carry the seven of them. Ukiyo-e untied the rope tied to the bow, held the wooden paddle day after day, and the front end fell on the edge stone. In the direction of the flow, the boat moves forward slowly.

Ukiyo-e and one day is one day at the helm.The current of the Heihe River was not turbulent, the boat was very stable, and they were not far away from the palace.

The water of the Heihe has no taste.They thought it was like the previous stream, because there were too many kinds of filth, which made the river lose its original clarity.In fact, staying in the river, the river water in front of my eyes is not that kind of dirty black, nor is it mixed with other colors.

Does not have any bad smell.

This is a river of pure blackness.The ink-like color is like the night above their heads, so dark and mysterious.The closer to the palace, the more attracted by the blue light reflected on the river.A little bit of light fell, and the flowing river was as smooth as silk, shimmering, and full of unusual beauty.

"Isn't this river water just ink?" Lollipop leaned on the edge, slightly lowered his head and stared at the flowing river water, it was really pure black without any blemishes.

"Tangtang, be careful." The civet cat said helplessly beside her.

"fine."

Lollipop smiled before making a sound. It was a "clang" bump, and Lollipop's body swayed. It was Rashomon who quickly grabbed her arm to prevent it from falling.

Lollipop looked at Rashomon in front of him and blinked, then let out a sharp breath. "What happened?" No one expected this sudden impact.

He scratched his head day by day, "It seems that the ship hit something..." He himself was not very sure.Following Ukiyo-e, I looked at the dark water in a daze at the bow of the boat. "It should be some kind of rock." Ukiyo-e spread his hands.

The two looked back and found that the five were all looking at them expressionlessly. "Fuck, what's that expression?"

No one answered, eerie silence.

Ukiyo-e propped up the wooden pulp with his arms upright, showing a mocking face, "Are you scared?"

One day is one day, he laughed and said: "It's all about stones."

Beixi folded her arms without showing any expression, and said indifferently: "You guys continue to paddle."

The two looked at each other, then shook their heads helplessly, picked up the wooden pulp and continued to slide towards the destination.It would be disturbing if something happened suddenly on this river.

Lollipop held the civet cat on its arm and whispered, "Do you feel the coolness?"

The civet cat glanced at her and joked: "Are you scared? Lollipop, who is not afraid of anything, can be timid sometimes."

Lollipop rolled his eyes at her, and said again: "No, you really don't feel the coolness behind you? Besides, the river is as dark as hell, who knows what's in it, if we are attacked, we have to be in the water It's pitch black..." The most frightening thing is the unknown danger, but I don't have the ability to deal with it.Death is very scary. Although it can be resurrected in the game, but the taste, who would want to feel it over and over again.

While the two were talking, Rashomon suddenly let out a "huh", and the lollipop shuddered in fright.Then look at him, "Luo Sheng, what's wrong? Is there really something behind me?"

Rashomon slowly raised his hand, his fingers passed through the gap between the two of them, pointing to the stern of their boat, his pupils dilated, slightly surprised and terrified. "Someone."

When the lollipop froze, the civet cat's body responded instinctively.Turning around suddenly, there was no one there, and there was nothing behind him except the boundless darkness.

"Pfft~" Rashomon laughed.

Lollipop and Tanuki turned their heads, and Kurosuke looked at Rashomon with a handsome face in front of him, smiling brightly~
cheated!
Lollipops help the forehead.

What about the gentle and kind Rashomon?
The civet cat looked at him with a smile, "Luo Sheng, when I first joined the guild, Ying Jin told me that you are the best and gentlest person in the legendary group."

Rashomon rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "It's a compliment."

"It's getting worse and worse now." Lollipop stared at him angrily, "Luo Sheng, you've really learned worse."

Beixi interjected at this time, "Indeed."

Rashomon touched his nose, how could even the chairman say it.He was just being funny.Now thinking about the expressions and reactions of the two just now, Luo Sheng still finds it very interesting.

Unable to restrain the corners of his lips, Rashomon turned his eyes to the two of them again, and was about to speak, but was attracted by the faint figure behind them, and the smile on the corner of Rashomon's mouth froze.

"Get down!" This loud shout made the hearts of several people jump suddenly.

The lollipop and tanuki reacted almost at the same time, and Rashomon raised the sniper rifle without hesitation, and the bullets shot out, instantly sinking into the dark night.

The two people bent over only heard the sound of "plop" falling into the water from behind, and after that, it seemed to return to the tranquility of the last second.

"Is it safe?" The two looked up, but they saw Beixi and Weishengmo get up slowly, the weapons were already in their hands, and their expressions were dignified.

With a sinking heart, it seems that this is just the beginning.

"Did you see what it was?"

Ukiyo-e threw the wooden pulp on the bow and took out the scepter.

Rashomon: "Rotting corpse."

As soon as the words fell, a gray skeleton hand stretched out from the black river, and the wooden boat leaned heavily to the right, and it was the skeleton hand still mixed with carrion that exerted force.

If this happens again, the boat will capsize directly.

The day when you realize this is the day when your first reaction is to draw your sword and cut it down.When it landed on the skeleton's hand, it would make a heavy "dong" sound, as if it had fallen on a hard object.

The skeleton's hand didn't retract, but the boat tilted completely. Before the group of people jumped out, the rotting corpse that was half up was kicked out by Beixi.

Without the strength of one side, the wooden boat regained its balance very quickly, and the water splashed. Fortunately, they grabbed one side and did not fall into the water in an instant.

Who knows what will happen if you fall into the water at this moment.

"Scared people to death." It's really a disaster.

Beixi raised his gun and fired directly behind the two of them, and there was another sound of falling into the water. At this time, there were splashes of water all around. If this monster rushed up, the wooden boat would probably be destroyed.

"Ukiyo, you two are responsible for continuing to plan."

You can't stay here forever, the only option now is to reach the opposite palace.

Without saying a word, the two picked up the wood pulp and rowed vigorously.

As for the others, they are constantly cleaning up the carrion that wants to board the ship.These rotting corpses are just small monsters, and it's not impossible to drop them in seconds, but there are too many of them. Their attacks are scattered, and they can't be killed in seconds, so they can only be kicked off the ship.

The little wooden boat was about to fail.
