The Shitongguska River, also known as the Zhongtongguska River, is located in the middle of the Yenisei River and is one of the main tributaries of the Yenisei River. Because the entire river is located in the primeval forests of the Central Siberian Plateau, there is no big city when the river channel is passed through twice.

The main function of the entire river channel is to transport timber and coal mines, but there are many shallows and dangerous shoals in the upper reaches, making it impossible for large ships to pass through, so there are very few ships on the river surface.

When Xu Changqing and his ships entered the Shitongguska River, although they had passed the ice period of the river, they ushered in the flood season of the river. From the day they entered the river, the rain did not stop, and the water flow in the river became turbulent and turbulent, and accompanied by a large number of broken tree trunks rushing down from the upstream.

In this case, even if he is proficient in boat driving, the captain who is very familiar with this river will not risk driving the boat and go upstream. Although Victor has not sailed on such a river, his years of experience in sailing on Lake Baikal allowed him to judge the danger of sailing at the moment. So on the day he entered the Shitongguska River, he proposed to temporarily dock the boat and wait until the rain stopped before leaving.

Faced with this harsh weather and dangerous rapids, even Yakov, who had strong self-healing ability, felt a little scared. He originally planned to agree with Victor's proposal. After getting ashore, he could see if he could find a vehicle to Baikita, and then take a coal-carrying train from there to the Tungus coalfield in the middle of the forest.

However, Xu Changqing, who had never offered any opinions on the itinerary, took the initiative to propose the request or order to still walk from the river, and did not give Victor and others a chance to persuade him. Seeing this, Victor and others were not making any suggestions, and drove the ship to the center of the river and quickly drove towards the upstream.

I don’t know if the miracle vision that Xu Changqing had shown before was too amazing. It gave Victor and others great confidence, so that they did not feel any fear even when facing the surging river water in front of them. Instead, they became extremely excited. After drinking two bottles of vodka, they sang all the Soviet military songs they could think of in their minds, while skillfully controlling the rudder and driving the ship upstream. When they were extremely excited, they even lost their sorrows. Not only did they avoid the big waves on the river surface caused by the wind and rain, but instead turned the bow of the ship and deliberately met it up, just like a knight facing the evil dragon in ancient novels.

Compared to the three little guys Victor, Yakov seemed much more cautious. He ignored the storm outside and moved from the deck to the bow, tied himself to the railing of the bow with a cable. Then his hands turned into lava arms, and condensed into a red and transparent lava ball in the palm of his hand. His eyes were nervously staring at the water surface in front of the bow, ready to throw out the lava ball in his hand at any time to smash foreign objects on the river that may cause damage to the hull. Because of the high temperature on the lava arms, the rain water falling from the sky instantly turned into a ball of water when it hits on it. Over time, the ball of water gathered together. After a while, the rain and fog were traveling, covering Yakov. It made his figure appear faintly, and only the fiery red arms were still eye-catching, adding a sense of awe-inspiring mystery.

This magic technique is a powerful attack magic technique passed to Yakov by Xu Changqing in the past few days. This magic technique was not created specifically by Yukov by Xu Changqing, but originated from the Holy Ruins. It is an instinctive magic technique that every god with the blood of the Flame Giant of the Holy Ruins can transform part of the body into a lava ball and throw it out. This causes a large-scale killing, which is also very consistent with Yakov's lava man's superpowers. It has learned to use it in just one day. According to Yakov's inference, the power of a lava ball is comparable to the power caused by ten conventional grenades. With this magic technique, Yakov's strength can be said to have improved by no means a little.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of this magic technique are very prominent, and if you are not careful, you will backfire yourself. The advantage is that as long as the Flame Giant is in the lava, the magic magic will be released without restrictions, because while each lava ball is extracted, the Flame Giant can extract the same amount of lava from the lava and merge into itself. The disadvantage is that if there is no endless lava support behind it, the number of lava balls created will become limited. If this limit is exceeded, it will cause irreparable damage to itself. However, this defect is nothing to Yakov, who has extremely strong self-healing ability. Even if he turns his hands into lava balls and throws them out, as long as he turns back to his human body, his self-healing ability can heal his hands, and it only takes half a day to recover as usual.

Although Yakov was worried about the ship that was shaking by the river, he was more excited. After he got this magic technique from Xu Changqing and learned to use it, he wanted to know how strong his strength became. Over the years, the blood power he possessed had never been used well, which made him always think that his ability was very weak. However, after only less than ten days of guidance and training, he felt that his ability was so powerful, completely different from before. However, years of habit still made him lack confidence, making him eager to confirm in a practical way that his strength had really improved, rather than just a feeling.

However, what made Yakov, who could not wait to see the danger, was that he was ready to fight, but the danger that he should have been constantly encountered never appeared. There were obviously countless foreign objects such as broken wood rushing down with the river, but none of them hit the hull, keeping his strength in his hands and unable to be released, which was very uncomfortable.

Soon, Yakov discovered that the large foreign objects that rushed down in front of the river rushed to four or five meters away from the bow of the ship. The river water turned back into a wave, and easily shot these foreign objects from the route of the ship, posing no threat to the hull. If such waves only appeared once, it would make sense to describe them as coincidence, but the problem is that these waves appear countless times, and they are all targeted at foreign objects that are dangerous to the hull. As for those floating objects that do not have any threats like branches, they are ignored, which is obviously caused by man.

When Yakov thought of Xu Changqing's decision to insist on walking the river, he looked like he suddenly realized. Then he couldn't help but smile bitterly, withdrew the lava ball, restored his hand to its original state, unbuttoned the rope on his body, and returned to the cabin. He stopped at the door of Xu Changqing's cabin, looked at his already wet clothes, and hesitated whether he should knock on the door.

Just as Yakov was hesitating, the cabin door opened by itself. Xu Changqing sat on the sofa opposite the door. With the orange light in the cabin, he looked at a book as thick as a dictionary in his hand, and raised his hand to signal him to come in.

Seeing this, Yakov didn't care about the wet clothes on his body and walked into the cabin. What surprised him was that when he stepped into the cabin, all the rain on his body automatically left, turned into small drops of water and floated in the air, and then gathered together, turned into a large water ball and fell into the bucket outside the cabin.

"It's not the time yet. If you want to know how much your strength has improved, there will be opportunities in the future." Xu Changqing pointed at the chair next to him and signaled him to sit down.

At this time, Yakov realized something was wrong in this cabin, because before he entered the cabin, the ship was still shaking around under the push of the river. He had to hold on to the wall to stand firm, but everything was very stable in this cabin, just as if the cabin was on the flat ground.

After feeling Xu Changqing's magical power again, although Yakov felt extremely shocked, his whole body was a little numb to this shock, so numb that his inner feelings and physical reactions had been torn apart. No matter how excited he was in his heart, his expression did not change in response, as if all this was normal.

Just as Yakov was sitting down, Xu Changqing suddenly took out the black stone and handed it to Yakov, saying, "Please feel it with your heart, and then tell me what you feel."

Yakov took the stone, and before he could close his eyes and feel it, he showed a surprised expression, and then became confused and deep, with his eyes blank, as if he had soul-leaving symptoms.

The reaction of Yakov was a little surprised by Xu Changqing, but this situation did not exceed his control, but was better than he expected. So Xu Changqing did not take action to retrieve the black stone, but sat quietly waiting for Yakov to recover by himself.

About a quarter of an hour passed, Yakov suddenly shook and shook a few times. As Wu Shen's eyes gradually returned to their expression and his body became relaxed. The black stones that were originally held in his hand also fell from his hands while relaxing their body.

Before the stone touched the ground, it was caught by an invisible force, held in the air and moved, and fell into Xu Changqing's hands.

"What did you see?" Xu Changqing showed an interesting look and asked in a deep voice.

"I, I didn't see anything!" Yakov's spirit seemed to have not been completely awake, and he responded in a daze, then realized his answer to the question, and quickly explained: "When you handed the stone to me just now, I felt like I was pulled into a world, which was very warm, like the embrace of my mother." At this point, he paused for a moment, and he couldn't help but show nostalgia on his face, and then he quickly recovered and continued: "But after I woke up, my memory of that world became blurred. What I felt during that time could not be described in words."
