Chapter 871
In the dark forest, there is a mighty river flowing from west to east. The river is surging. I don't know where the source is.
The river is so wide that you can't see the other side of the river if you stand on one side of the bank. Only the big waves hit the sky, deafening. From time to time, you can see huge strange fish breaking through the water in the middle of the river. Hundreds of meters of waves plunged into the water again.
The great river flows from west to east, sometimes turbulent and sometimes gentle. Where it is turbulent, there are rolling waves and undercurrents. There are many whirlpools with a diameter of hundreds of meters and thousands of meters. Wang stagnant water, but under the calm water surface, huge black shadows roamed one after another, indicating that there are many deadly dangers hidden under the seemingly calm water surface.
This river runs through the entire dark forest, like a dividing line, dividing the dark forest into two irregular parts. Before the end of the world, it can be said that there has never been such a big river in this world. He called it the Tongtian River, and he didn't know the source or the end.
On the edge of the big river, there is a cliff with a height of one thousand meters. The strange rocks on the cliff hang in the air, as if they will fall into the big river below at any time. At the bottom of the cliff, the powerful impact can make people standing on the cliff feel the vibration of the mountain, as if it will be washed away at any time.
On the top of the cliff, an old man dressed in sackcloth sat upright, feeling his whole body, old skin covering his bones, dying, with a gray beard and cloudy eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world.
He was wearing a battered straw hat. Holding a withered and yellow branch tens of meters long, the branch extends to the outside of the cliff, like an old man sitting alone fishing by the river.
Big rivers, cliffs, old people, dead branches. A strange and peaceful picture is formed by the majestic river. In the end of the world, a dying old man is fishing by the rushing and steep river. This is an unreasonable picture in itself.
"Grandpa, he is here, you lie, he doesn't eat people", a childish cheer broke the eerie tranquility, and a little girl with a small white flower on her head came to the old man's side in the blink of an eye. Nestled on the old man's body like a baby, with a naive look.
The old man pampered the little girl's head with his withered palm, and said kindly in an old voice, "When did I tell Lord Huahuahou to eat people? Hehe...".
As if the old man didn't see Tang Tian behind him, he was playing with the little girl beside him, and the picture was very peaceful.
Looking at the old man in front of him, there was an inexplicable smile in Tang Tian's eyes, and he found that the other party didn't pay attention to what he meant, and didn't take it seriously. Alone, I found the most dangerous rock on the side and sat upright, watching the big waves crashing against the bottom of the cliff without saying a word.
"Hehe. The little old man is panicked if Master Hou can come. It's just that this person will have trouble with his legs and feet when he gets old. Otherwise, the little old man should go to visit Master Hou in person." The old man didn't look at Tang Tian, his muddy Looking at the dry branches in his hands, he said to himself.
"Old man is really leisurely and carefree. Dajiang is sitting alone and fishing, he really feels at ease." Looking at the endless river, Tang Tian smiled, and did not ask the other party why he asked him to come. Presumably he will say it when he wants to say it.
"Haha, I'm old, and I only have this hobby. Fighting and killing are no longer suitable for me, and I can only spend my old age peacefully like this," the old man said with a gray beard, full of joy.
"Well, I took the bait," Tang Tian said self-consciously. At the front of the dead branch in the old man's hand, there was actually a green willow branch, which extended and fell into the river below. At this time, the green willow branch trembled. endlessly.
"No, I finally took the bait. Lord Hou came all the way here. There is nothing to entertain, so why don't I treat you to some seafood?" The old man laughed, his old arm trembled, the dead branch in his hand trembled, the emerald green wicker drew an arc, and with a plop, a huge monster was pulled up from the river, it was a body covered in spikes, A ferocious big fish with a length of 300 meters, the mouth of the big fish firmly bit the front part of the weak wicker, but when the dead branch in the old man's hand trembled, the seemingly weak wicker slammed into the big fish with a snap. Above his head, in the end, the hideous monster of more than 300 meters was blown away, passing through a shadow, flying past Tang Tian's head and falling to the open space behind.
And at this time, the strange fish's head had been crushed by the seemingly weak wicker, and it was already dead!
"Heh, we already have He Xian, but I don't know who will cook," Tang Tian said calmly.
"Of course I won't trouble Lord Hou to do it," said the old man. Afterwards, a few strong men appeared and dragged the 300-meter-long fish away with their bare hands. They didn't know where it was dragged, and soon disappeared in the jungle behind.
"Oh, interesting, the old man fishes here every day? I don't know when we can catch all the fish in this big river?" Tang Tian looked at the galloping Dajiang and said.
"There is always a time when the catch is clean," the old man said calmly, like an old man on the verge of death.
Boom... At this moment, a huge wave thousands of meters high rushed up from the surface of the river, and a powerful current rose up. A young man in scale armor stood above him, pointing a spear at the old man and yelling at him. Said: "Damn it, it's you again, do you really think that I dare not kill you? Killing a member of my clan every day, do you want to start a war?"
"Go and tell your lord, I have a distinguished guest today, and I am just entertaining them. If he wants to, he can also come to participate." The old man said unhurriedly, the dead branches in his hands shook, and the emerald green wicker in front of him collapsed In contrast, like a divine chain, it sprinkled a little bit of green light, and with a bang, the young man standing on top of the big waves was sucked into the river. With a bang, the tide fell, and the river calmed down in a short while.
"This great river has been ruled by someone"? Tang Tian looked at the old man curiously and asked, he was not surprised by his previous actions, but asked him about the situation of the big river.
"Well, I don't know how long this big river is, but as far as I know, this section of the dark forest has already been ruled by someone, and all the water tribes in the river worship at his feet, I don't know how the Marquis will do it How do you feel?" Lao Tzu asked Tang Tian for the first time.
At the same time, the dead branch in his hand shook lightly, and the willow in front of him shrank sharply amidst the green light, and finally formed a section-long emerald green willow branch at the front of the dead branch, with a little green light flashing , But this is not over yet, the dead branches are also shrinking, and eventually become Mishu's dead branches, which are inserted into the soil around him by the old man.
"I can't talk about my feelings, but that's good too. It will save me trouble. Apart from you, who else is the king in this big river? Who else is controlling the trend in this dark forest?" Tang Tian asked curiously.
"Master Hou praised me. I'm just an old guy with limited mobility. As for the crab in the river, it's a soft-legged shrimp after landing. Master Hou doesn't care much about it. If you want to say that the person who really controls the dark forest , who else is there besides Lord Hou? Hehe", the old man said to himself.
"Heh, then, how many existences like you are in this dark forest?" Tang Tian asked curiously.
"Add me, the crab in the river, and the other three, namely a nasty ant, a stone that only knows how to sleep, and a bee that buzzes all day long," the old man said. Move your fingers and count.
"Oh, I see. So, did you call me here this time, old man, or did you mean it together?" Tang Tian squinted his eyes at the other party and said.
What Tang Tian didn't expect was that there were actually five existences in the dark forest who had already touched the peak. In Tang Tian's perception, although he couldn't see the specific information of this old man, he was definitely a person who could A terrifying existence comparable to the Ice Empress back then.
There are still five more, which made Tang Tian feel tremendous pressure. The original Ice Emperor had almost brought down most of the powerhouses in the entire Celestial Dynasty. There were still five such existences, which made Tang Tian feel like crying.
But the good thing is that at this time, I don't need to be as helpless as I was when I faced the Ice Emperor. Most importantly, he still has the confidence to survive in the hands of such an existence.
"Hehe, of course I was the only one who wanted to invite Lord Hou to come, but what I didn't expect was that Lord Hou would really come here alone, which surprised me a bit," the old man said calmly.
"Let me come, not just let me taste a bowl of fish soup"? Tang Tian raised his eyebrows and said.
"Huahua, don't make trouble, I'm talking about business." The old man stopped the little girl Huahua from stuffing the petals from her head into her nose, then looked at Tang Tian again and said, "Then what do you think, Lord Hou?"
"Let's talk, you know, I don't have enough time, and there are still many things waiting for me to do," Tang Tian said, looking at the galloping river.
"Hey... the young man just can't hold his breath. Well then, I won't play tricks with Lord Hou anymore. I only have one condition. Your main city must not come to conquer our tree clan." The old man's eyes suddenly changed. He looked at Tang Tian extremely fiercely and said, a kind of tyrannical Qi mechanism locked Tang Tian.
The corner of Tang Tian's mouth curled up into a disdainful smile, and he looked at the old man tit for tat and said, "The dark forest must be completely in my hands, and I don't allow any objection."
"Hou Ye means that he won't let my Tree Clan go"? The old man's voice became a little shrill.
"It's not impossible. Surrender to my main city and hand over your luck. From now on, my order will be your imperial decree. Besides, there is no other possibility," Tang Tian said, squinting his eyes at the other party. (To be continued..)
