Chapter 871
In the dark forest, there is a rushing river flowing from west to east. The river water is surging, and I don’t know where the source is. It rushes all day long and flows to the east.
The river is extremely wide. Standing on one side of the shore, you can't see the other side of the river. Only the waves hit the sky, deafening. From time to time, you can see huge strange fish breaking out of the water in the river, and waves with hundreds of meters of tumbling air plunge into the water.
The river comes from west to east, sometimes turbulent and sometimes gentle. In the turbulent places, waves are rolling and undercurrents are surging. There are many spiral nests with diameters of hundreds of meters and thousands of meters. In the gentle places, it seems that the water surface cannot be flowing, like a pool of stagnant water. However, under the calm water surface, huge black shadows and swims indicate that there are countless 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 two pieces. Before the end of the world, it can be said that there has never been such a big river in this world. People have word of mouth, calling it the Tongtian River, without knowing the source or end.
By the river, there is a cliff up to a thousand meters high. The strange rocks on the cliff are hanging in the air, as if they will fall down and fall into the river below at any time. It looks frightening. Under the cliff, there are rolling waves constantly eroding the bottom of the cliff. The powerful impact force can make people standing on the cliff feel the mountain shaking, as if they are about to be washed down at any time.
On the top of the cliff, an old man in a clothes were sitting upright, feeling his whole body, his old skin covered his bones. He was about to go down, his gray beard and his turbid eyes seemed to see through everything in the world.
He was wearing a broken straw hat and holding a yellow branch dozens of meters long. The branches extended to the outside of the cliff, like an old man sitting alone by the river, fishing.
The river, cliff, old people, dead branches. A strange and peaceful picture is formed by the rising river. In the end of the world, an old man who is about to fish by the steep river is unreasonable.
"Grandpa, he is here. You lied to others, he will not eat people." A tender cheer destroyed the strange tranquility. A little girl with a little white flower on her head came to the old man in the blink of an eye, snuggling up to the old man like a coquettish person, looking cute.
The old man touched the little girl's head with his dry palms, and said kindly in an old voice: "When did I tell Mr. Huahua to eat people? Haha..."
The old man seemed to have not seen Tang Tian behind him, playing with the little girl beside him. The picture was very peaceful.
Looking at the old man in front of him, a strange smile appeared in Tang Tian's eyes. He found that the other party ignored his intentions and did not care. He found the most steep stone beside him and sat upright. He looked at the big waves that kept rushing to the bottom of the cliff below without saying a word.
"Haha, the marquis can come. The young man is frightened, but this man will be inconvenient when he gets old. Otherwise, the young man should have gone to visit the marquis in person." The old man didn't look at Tang Tian, and his turbid eyes looked at the dead branches in his hands and said to himself.
"The father-in-law is so leisurely. The river turns into a fishing place, and he is really free." Looking at the endless river, Tang Tian smiled and did not ask the other party for the purpose of asking him to come. I believe he would naturally say it when he wanted to say it.
"Haha, I'm old, and I only have this kind of hobby. Fighting and killing is no longer suitable for me. I can only spend my old age in peace," the old man said with a gray beard, very happy.
"Well, I'm hooked," Tang Tian said to himself. At the front of the dead branches in the old man's hand, there was actually a green willow branch that stretched and fell into the river below. At this time, the green willow branch was shaking.
"No, I finally got the bait. The Marquis came from afar. There was nothing to treat. I'd like to invite you to eat river food." The old man laughed, his old arm shook, the dead branches in his hand trembled, and the green willow branches drew an arc. With a thud, a giant figure in the river was pulled up. It was a hideous big fish covered with sharp thorns and a body length of 300 meters. The big fish's mouth bit the weak willow branches tightly. However, the dead branches in the old man's hand trembled, and the seemingly weak willow branches sucked on the big fish's head with a bang. In the end, the hideous weirdness of more than 300 meters was pulled away, and a shadow flew over Tang Tian's head and fell to the open space behind.
At this time, the strange fish's head was smashed by the seemingly weak willow branches and was already dead!
"Ha, there is already a river food, but I don't know who will cook," Tang Tian said with a calm expression.
"Of course, I won't bother the Marquis to do it," the old man said. Then, several strong men appeared and dragged away the 300-meter-long fish with bare hands. I don't know where to drag it, and soon disappeared in the jungle behind.
"Ha, it's interesting. The old man fishes here every day. I don't know when I can fish all the fish in this river." Tang Tian said, looking at the rushing river.
"There will always be a time to fish for clean fishing," the old man said slowly, just like an old man who is about to quit.
Boom... At this moment, a big wave of thousands of meters high surged on the surface of the river was rushing into the river, and a powerful stream of water rose up. Above stood a young man in scales, pointing at the old man with a long spear in his hand and cursed: "Damn it, it's you again. Do you really think I dare not kill you? Do you want to provoke a war every day when killing a member of my tribe?
"Go and tell your king that I have a distinguished guest today, just entertaining guests. If he wants, he can also come to participate." The old man said slowly, the dead branches in his hand trembled, and the green willow branches in front of him collapsed, like a divine chain, sprinkling a little green light. With a bang, the young man standing on the waves suddenly pulled into the river. With a loud bang, the tide fell, and the river surface returned to peace in a short while.
"This river has been led by someone." Tang Tian looked at the old man curiously and asked, not surprised by his previous actions, but asked about the situation of the river.
"That's right, I don't know how long this big river lasts, but as far as I know, this section of the dark forest has been dominated by people. All the aquariums in the river are subdued by him. I wonder what the marquis will think," I said to Tang Tianwen for the first time.
At the same time, the dead branches in his hand shook slightly, and the willow branches in front narrowed sharply in the green light, and finally formed a foot-long emerald willow branch in the front part of the dead branches, with a little green light flashing. However, it was not over yet, the dead branches were shrinking, and eventually turned into dead branches of rice, which were inserted into the soil by the old man.
"I can't say that I feel it, but this is good, so I can save trouble. In addition to you, there is also a king in the river, and who else is controlling the trend in the dark forest?" Tang Tian asked curiously.
"Mr. Marquis praised me. I am just an old guy with limited mobility. As for the crab in the river, it is a soft-legged shrimp after it gets ashore. Marquis doesn't care more about it. If you want to talk about the people who really touch the dark forest, who else besides the Marquis? Haha, the old man said to himself.
"Ha, then, how many are there like you in this dark forest?" Tang Tian asked curiously.
"In addition, I have the crab in the river, and the other three, one is a disgusting ant, a stone that only knows how to sleep, and a bee that buzzes all day long," the old man moved his fingers and counted.
"Oh, I understand, then, this time I call me here, is it your own meaning, or you guys together?" Tang Tian squinted his eyes and said to the other party.
What Tang Tian didn't expect was that there were five such existences in the dark forest who had already touched the top. In Tang Tian's perception, although he could not see the specific information of this old man, he was definitely a terrifying existence that could be comparable to the Ice Emperor at the time.
There were five more, which made Tang Tian feel tremendous pressure. The Ice Emperor almost caused most of the strong men in the entire Celestial Dynasty to die. If it weren't for the little duck, he actually found that there were five such existences in this dark forest, which made Tang Tian feel the urge to cry.
Fortunately, at this time, there is no need for me to be helpless as I was when I faced the Ice Emperor. He is the most unpretentious. He still has this confidence in surviving his life in such an existence.
"Haha, I'm the only one who wants to come here, but what I didn't expect was that the marquis would really come alone, which surprised me a little," the old man said slowly.
"Let me do it, I won't just let me taste a bowl of fish soup, right?" Tang Tian raised his eyebrows and said.
"Stop messing around Huahua, I'm talking about serious business." The old man stopped the little girl Huahua from stuffing the petals on her head into her nose, and then looked at Tang Tian again and said, "What do you think the marquis think?"
"Tell me, 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 rushing river.
"Oh..., the young man just can't hold back. Well, I won't keep his anger from the Marquis. I have only one condition. Your main city is not allowed to come to conquer my tree clan." The old man's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp and looked at Tang Tian and said, a powerful aura locked on Tang Tian.
Tang Tian curled a disdainful smile on his lips, and looked at the old man in a tit-for-tat way and said, "The dark forest must be in my hands. I will not allow any objection."
"The Marquis means that I will not let my tree clan go," the old man said with a sharp voice.
