The Tutu River is not long, and it soon reached the mouth of the river. People on the boat could clearly feel that the speed of the water was accelerating. After passing through a section of dwarf mangroves growing in the river, the surface of the Dajiao River became clearer.

Appeared in front of my eyes.

Although I have seen a lot of written records in books about this mother river of countless tribes on the edge of the wilderness, seeing this river with my own eyes, especially seeing it for the first time, is quite shocking.

.

The first is the width of this river. It is no exaggeration to say that with ordinary people's sight range, it is difficult to see the opposite river bank even in the daytime. According to normal boat speed, it would probably take at least four or five hours to cross this wide area.

of the river.

The second is the depth of the river. According to Leo's estimate, the deepest part of the Dajiao River is at least five thousand meters, and the depth of other parts near the shore is almost a few hundred meters. It is no exaggeration to say that if there was no such river,

, then the tribes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will face an insurmountable abyss.

And if you look at the map, this bottomless river just winds along the edge of the wilderness. One section of the river originates from the desert mountain that is said to be as tall as a cloud and no one can climb to the top.

On the west side of the Mulberry Continent, in the far sea known as the end of the world, it directly separates the Mosang Continent and the wasteland.

In the early colonial period, this Tianyuan River could be said to be the protective wall of the wilderness tribes. It was precisely because of the existence of this river that the colonists at that time stopped here and had no way to go deeper into the wilderness.

However, more people think that colonists from other continents will benefit more, because countless evidence can prove that no matter how many people go deep into the wilderness, they will just die. If the people at that time insisted on building boats to cross the river and go deep into the wilderness,

, then those colonists may all die in the wilderness, and the originally unstable colonies will inevitably collapse. In that case, the history of the world may be rewritten as a result.

The Dajiao River is still the last isolation line set up by the Southern Tribal Alliance. The institutions and forces that connect the Southern Tribal Alliance with the outside world are all on the north bank of the river, including the important tungsten mining city of Badisha, the Southern Holy Mountain, etc. Once it passes

If the river is destroyed, all civilization will disappear, and only the most primitive and traditional tribes will be left.

This approach is undoubtedly wise, because after hundreds of years of contact with the outside world, most tribes near the edge of the wilderness have become accustomed to various civilization products. Even if they still try to maintain some cultural traditions,

It is difficult to return to the life of the primitive tribes in the past, so the tribes of the Southern Tribal Alliance who have become accustomed to the products of outside civilization are placed on the north bank of the Dajiao River, while those tribes who are willing to return to primitive life are placed on the north bank of the Dajiao River.

He arrived at the southern bank and successfully resolved the disputes between the southern tribal alliances.

When the shuttle boats triggered by Sobansi entered the Grand Cape River one by one, the river channel that could provide safety became much wider, almost equal to the width of the Tutu River, and the ships began to spread out.

Enough space is provided for them to sail.

Even so, the vast majority of fusiform boats still choose to sail in rivers close to the shore, even if they need to avoid some trees extending from the shore from time to time. Only Leo's boat is slightly larger and has rich sailing experience.

Only ships will choose to sail further offshore.

After entering the Dajiao River, Leo tried to use the spiritual network to quickly sense the underwater situation. He found that the underwater area of ​​the Dajiao River was much more lively than the Tutu River before, and thought that a mutated monster was happening deep underwater.

, a three-way melee between the descendants of Tatum and ordinary aquatic creatures led by extraordinary creatures.

At this time, the Sons of Tatum are no longer like aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the water, but are entangled with each other, forming an object similar in shape to those mutated monsters, ranging from a few hundred meters to more than 2,000 meters underwater.

In the area of ​​​​meters, mutated monsters started a melee and devoured each other.

Because the two are so similar, even the energy fluctuations they emit are very similar, so it is difficult for Leo to tell who is who in the melee.

The water bottom two thousand meters below is the habitat of a large number of aquatic creatures native to the Dajiao River. There are an astonishing number of extraordinary creatures among them. In just the area that Leo's mental network scanned just now, no less than fifty were scanned.

There are only extraordinary creatures. This is still water near two thousand meters. There are at least several kilometers of water below that should be home to more aquatic creatures and extraordinary creatures.

"Just like the Black Forest!" Leo couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, the last time he saw such a large group of extraordinary creatures appeared was in the Black Forest.

"What?" Sylvia, who was sitting aside, didn't hear Leo's words clearly and looked over in confusion.

Leo explained the current situation under the water, and also mentioned that the aquatic creatures and extraordinary creatures at the bottom seemed to be feeding on the mutated monsters, sons of Tatum, who had been injured or sunk to the bottom for other reasons, even if

Mutated monsters and sons of Tatum who are not injured or dead will be besieged by countless aquatic creatures if they enter an area below two thousand meters. If the aquatic creatures cannot be dealt with, nearby extraordinary creatures will rush over immediately.

, work together to deal with the intruders, and then eat them.

Although this was not the first time for Sylvia to see the Dajiao River, and she had lived with tribes near the Dajiao River for a period of time in the past, this was the first time she heard about the situation in the depths of the Dajiao River. In fact, not only Sylvia

It was the first time for Wea to hear it, and it was also the first time for the captain of the fusiform ship not far away to hear what was going on in the water.

Although the Dajiao River is the mother river of tribes on the edge of the wilderness, what is interesting is that except for the rich aquatic products in the upper and lower reaches of the Dajiao River, as well as the surrounding branch rivers, there are no fish in other river sections. For a long time, the tribes on both sides of the river have no fish.

People all think that there are no fish in the Taijiao River.

There have also been some bold tribesmen who tried to dive into the water to see what was going on in the deep waters of the Taijiao River. As a result, none of those who dived into the water finally came up from the water. There are many of these people who have

A shaman protected by a powerful god.

Therefore, various legends about the bottom of the Dajiao River have been circulated repeatedly among various tribes in the wilderness. Among them, the two most widely circulated legends are that the bottom of the Dajiao River is the eternal place mentioned in shamanistic transactions. All those who go deep into the water

They all entered the eternal land and enjoyed eternal joy. This legend caused suicide by drowning in the river to become the preferred method of suicide for those desperate people in the tribe.

Another legend says that there is a big snake sleeping at the bottom of the Dajiao River. This big snake has been sleeping at the bottom of the river since before the world appeared. Once it wakes up, it means that the world will come to an end, and all creatures that dive into it will be slumbered by it.

The water produced by natural breathing is sucked into its big mouth and eaten by it.

This legend led warriors from various tribes to dive into the bottom of the Dajiao River as the last great deed of their lives.

Also because of all the legends about the Dajiao River, including these two legends, water burial has become one of the most important burial rituals of the tribe.

Now when the captain heard Leo mentioning the situation at the bottom of the Dajiao River, he was surprised at first, but soon thought that Leo was talking nonsense, but then he thought about the process of Leo capturing Tatum's son, and he felt

What a capable man like Leo says may be true.

But when he wanted to hear more, Leo stopped talking about the situation at the bottom of the Dajiao River, making him feel like he was hanging in the air.

However, he did not dare to ask any more questions, because the process of capturing those sons of Tatum had already shown how powerful he was, and such a powerful person was not something that ordinary people like him could offend.

Just when the captain was thinking about what was happening at the bottom of the Dajiao River, Leo suddenly turned his head and reminded him: "If I were you, I'd better bring the boat closer to the shore."

After hearing the reminder, the captain immediately turned to look at the stone lantern, but he did not see any warning from the flame of the stone lantern, so he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, but he did not stubbornly follow the current waterway, and

He obeyed Leo's suggestion and directed the helmsman to divert the water channel and start approaching the shore.

Many people in the fusiform boats following behind knew the captain and knew that the captain was an old sailor, so they were a little puzzled by the sudden change of the waterway by the fusiform boat. After all, how would they look at the current waterway?

It's more convenient, and the stone lantern doesn't appear to be dangerous.

But there are still some people who, even if they don't notice the danger, still believe that the captain's experience is more reliable, choose to imitate that captain, and sail the ship closer to the river bank.

However, the vast majority of fusiform ships still chose to sail in the original spacious waterways.

After all the ships had sailed for a certain distance, suddenly all the stone lanterns on the fusiform ships sailing far away from the shore burst into intense flames, and then went out instantly.

Before the people on the boat could recover, countless mutated monsters and sons of Tatum emerged from the water and covered the entire water area.

Although these mutant monsters and Sons of Tatum did not attack ships on the river, these ships were inevitably affected. A ship broke under various attacks, and the people on board fell into the water, even if

People who did not fall into the water would be swept away by tentacles that suddenly appeared from nowhere and disappeared into the dark water. The screams spread across the entire river in an instant, leaving those who stayed on the shore safe.

People in the area also felt endless fear.

"Oh my God! It's the Taote family's fleet, they all sank!"

"There is also Changge's boat in the forest. He is the heir to the chief of the Didisha tribe. Who will become the chief if he dies!"

Those fusiform boats that were temporarily safe all lost the courage to continue sailing. They docked the boats one after another and looked at the water. Then in the faint moonlight, they could see the situation of some boats clearly, and they let out exclamations one after another.

.

The fusiform boat Leo was on did not dock. Because Leo did not indicate danger, he continued to sail forward. However, the captain's mentality changed a little at this time. He looked at the stone lantern and then at Leo.

, and then looked towards the chaotic waters in the distance with lingering fear.

On the ship, other sailors had the same mentality change as the captain. They heard Leo's reminder to the captain just now. They didn't take Leo's words seriously and even thought the captain was too timid because

A stranger's reminder changed the ship's navigation channel, but now they no longer wanted it so much. Even if Leo asked them to sail the ship to the middle of the Dajiao River, I'm afraid they would do it, even if they still had some thoughts in their hearts.

suspected.

However, the subsequent course proved that what happened just now was just an accident. They sailed very smoothly. They did not encounter any sudden attacks on the way, or were involved in some underwater undercurrents. There was not even a flame on the stone lantern.

Abnormal shaking occurs again.

After sailing along the river for about seven or eight hours, the destination of the voyage, Badisha, was already visible to the naked eye.

Compared with the pier in Sobanse, Badisha's river terminal is obviously much smaller. In addition to cargo ships from cities such as Sobanse, the main function of Badisha Pier is to provide a resting port for fishermen, so

The port is completely built as a small fishing port.

In the past, fishermen were still able to catch fish in various tributaries of the Dajiao River. However, after the Year of Fog, mutated monsters appeared on the bottom of the water, making fishing in the river unsafe. In addition, the number of Tatum's sons also increased.

Nowadays, fishing has become more dangerous. Except for a few large tribes that have the ability to clean rivers regularly, other small tribes that rely on fishing have given up their livelihood and chosen to move to other places to live. Badi

Sarah is one of them.

Badisha is a tribal city under the control of the Silver Moon Tribe. The people who built this city are not people from the Silver Moon Tribe, nor people from the Mosang Continent, but colonists from the Maris Kingdom in the Minsk Continent.

After arriving here with the colonial army, they discovered a large amount of tungsten ore contained here, and then built a city specifically for mining here.

At first, they wanted to rely on waterways to transport the mined ore. However, they were not familiar with the waterway conditions here. In addition, the tribal shaman controlled a large number of creatures in the water to attack the ore transport fleet, which made the mine owners at that time

The losses were heavy, so the mine owners did not develop waterways, but switched to land routes and built an ore transport railway to the outside world.

This railway leads to a road that was called the Golden Road in the past, later called the Corpse Road, and is now called the Double Sacred Mountain Avenue. That road is the only longitudinal road on the edge of the entire wasteland. At one end of the road is
