Chapter 250 Ten thousand locks across the river

Jin Chenglu jumped up to the top of the mountain with a sudden jump.

Looking around, there are rolling mountains behind them. There are flat fields and square cities on the plains at the foot of the mountains. In front of them is the mighty river, rolling from west to east.

Mad, we finally arrived at the riverside!

Jin Chenglu's nose felt sore and he couldn't help but want to cry.

These past few months have been really hard and difficult. From Jianya Village all the way south to the riverside, the whole journey seems to be less than a thousand kilometers. In reality, the high-speed rail only takes three or four hours.

But this is ancient times! You can’t go through official channels! You can only walk in the forest, climb mountains, lie in swamps, and swim in lakes!

The dry food I carried with me was not enough, and I could barely sustain myself for a month. After that, I could only hunt, catch fish, collect wild fruits, and identify wild vegetables... These things may seem natural and pollution-free, but only those who have actually eaten them will know. What a weird flavor they have!

My own exploration team worked hard like this, constantly reducing the number of people along the way, trying their best, and finally arrived at the riverside!

Now, you only need to cross the river to reach the south and reach the "beginner's map" that most players have been dreaming about.

The design of this game is too unreasonable. How can those players who stayed in the south and survived play so comfortably? If you randomly draw a power crystal, you can dominate the place and be served by a wealthy family with good food, good drinks, and good slaves and beautiful maids?

Most of the players like me can only live a life of food rationing in a ghost place like Jianya Village, fight like crazy with Jie Man, and taste the feeling of having their skin torn off and devoured while they are still alive?

It's so unfair, so unfair!

Fortunately, my exploration team was very lucky. They only lost half of their people all the way south to the riverside, and they also left beacons along the way. It can be said that the road from Jianya Village to the riverside has been opened.

Next, the officials only need to continue to build supply stations along the road, build bridges and ladders on some difficult roads, draw detailed maps, and then they can continuously send people to the riverside.

However, there is still one step left, and that is crossing the river!

After observing for a while, Jin Chenglu climbed down the mountain and joined the remaining four companions.

"Lao Jin, how are you?" A disheveled companion asked, "Is there anyone by the river?"

"No one." Jin Chenglu, who was also unkempt and looked like a beggar, replied: "Except for a ferry in the west where there are dozens of barbarian guards, there is no one in our section. And I have seen it all. It is backed by mountains and the terrain is steep. , the barbarian patrols are all cavalry, they should not be able to dismount."

"Okay." The other tallest and strongest companion nodded: "Then let's start building the ship according to the plan!"

As he spoke, others also took action. They took out the chains or machetes in the bags at their waists and began to chop down trees and prune branches.

Someone took out a milky-white plastic-like rope from their backpack and began to tie the wood. Others activated their powers to make the trees change their shape, becoming thinner and more curved, more like a small boat.

Finally, with the joint efforts of everyone, it took more than an hour to build a simple wooden boat, with eight wide oars.

Seeing that everyone was about to push the boat into the water, Jin Chenglu couldn't help but said: "Didn't I say in the previous report that the court in the south has deployed a million-lock cross-river formation in the river, which can block the river? Let's just do this Paddling across?"

"Hmm..." The strongest captain thought for a while: "In this way, we will send two people to try first. If they can get through, the other people will go through."

"I'll go!" "I'll come first!"...

It seems that everyone has had enough of staying in the north and has come forward to recommend himself.

Soon, two lucky ones were selected. Everyone helped them push the boat into the water and handed over the remaining food and paddles.

After the two guys devoured the food, they got on the boat and started paddling.

Both of them had physical enhancement powers. The boat was not only powerful but also very fast. It was a little uncoordinated at first, but soon they found the rhythm and the small wooden boat rowed quickly towards the opposite side.

Following the harmonious rhythm, the two paddled hard from left to right, and the speed of the boat became faster and faster. Soon, it turned into a small dot in everyone's eyes.

Watching them go away, a smile appeared on the captain's face: "It feels normal. Let's continue building the ship..." But he was only halfway through his words when suddenly, a sharp cone suddenly appeared on the river surface. It thrust straight up from the water's surface, lifting up the small wooden boat and smashing it into pieces in an instant.

As broken wood flew, two small figures fell from the sky and hit the water heavily, causing the remaining three people to scream in surprise.

"Wait a minute!" The captain quickly lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.

After a while, he opened his eyes again and stood up, looking slightly depressed: "One is dead, and the other cannot swim, so he will die soon."

"What's going on?" A team member looked desperate: "It's impossible for the ship to pass through like this!"

"In this situation, except for the flying Han Xiaoyan from the second team, I'm afraid no one can cross this river." Jin Chenglu also lamented, his tone dejected.

"Have you not seen how high that spike can reach? It's thirty to forty meters at least!" The captain said calmly: "Han Xiaoyan can only fly ten meters high now, and she may not be able to handle it."

After that, he waved his hand: "Let's go find food first. When we are full, we will think of a solution together."

"The weather looks like it's going to rain!" A team member raised his head: "It was fine just now, but why are there suddenly dark clouds?"

"Wait! Why are these dark clouds gathering in the same direction?" Jin Chenglu also noticed something was wrong.

"Let's go over and take a look!" the captain ordered decisively.

The three of them ran together towards the place where the dark clouds gathered, and then, they were blocked by a cliff.

If they took a detour, it seemed like they would have to go a long way, so the three of them had no choice but to take out their hooks and spikes and start climbing.

It took more than half an hour for the three of them to climb up the mountain one after another.

Fortunately, the view on the mountain is wide and you can clearly see where the dark clouds gather.

The river there took a small turn, but it was still wide on the northern bank. There were hundreds of warships of various sizes parked on the north bank, and there seemed to be many people on these warships.

The dark clouds above the warship became thicker and thicker, turning from dark clouds to black clouds, but still no raindrops fell, and only the roaring wind could be heard.

"What is that!" a team member exclaimed.

Jin Chenglu also saw that under the dark clouds and above all the warships, a terrifying ghost appeared!

The ghost was wearing pitch black armor and holding a huge long knife, which was covered with large and small skulls. With the wind, the edges of the ghost were still floating like rags.

Suddenly, bursts of horns sounded, and a huge ghost figure suddenly appeared in the water.

Heavy rain followed.

Hundreds of warships set off from the north shore and headed south!
