Chapter 478 Inland Waterway
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Ya asked.
Kuang Zongfa's face showed a cruel look, "Now they don't know that I have set out for the Central Taizo Realm. This is a good opportunity. We must rush into the Endless Mountain before others and find the ancient treasure."
Zhao Ya said, "Of course, there is no problem. However, although we set out early, we are not at an advantage in terms of distance. You know, there are many worlds that are close to the Central Taizo Realm."
"I have considered this a long time ago, so I have spent a lot of money to buy a secret route that can save at least half the time to reach the Central Taizo Realm." Kuang Zongfa said
"Oh? What route?" Zhao Ya was interested.
He had also seen the sea chart, so he really didn't know what route could save half the time.
At this time, there was naturally no need to continue hiding it.
Kuang Zongfa smiled and said, "It's very simple. If we go by sea, it's indeed a long journey, but what if we cross the world directly?"
"You mean... abandon the ship and go ashore, and go by land?" Zhao Ya said in surprise.
"Of course not by land. Can we just abandon so many ships? I mean to go by inland waterways instead."
The rivers in many worlds are directly connected to the Infinite Sea.
For example, in the Central Taizang Realm, except for the narrow circle of land on the outside, the water veins in the middle are connected to the Infinite Sea.
Some of the worlds are directly crossed by rivers, so inland waterways can be formed.
Don't underestimate these inland waterways.
These waterways can often save a lot of time and can be regarded as a shortcut on the sea.
However, most of the inland waterways are controlled by major forces, and sea vessels must pay high fees to pass through them.
But Zhao Ya remembered that there was no inland waterway on the route from the First-grade Lion Realm to the Central Taizang Realm.
As if he saw Zhao Ya's doubts, or maybe he was just showing off, Kuang Zongfa smiled mysteriously.
"The route I'm talking about is not an ordinary inland waterway, but a real path. You will know when the time comes."
After saying that, Kuang Zongfa turned off the water screen.
Zhao Ya frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled.
Who cares!
Now it's Kuang Zongfa who is anxious, not me.
So let him worry about it.
Then Zhao Ya came to the cabin where Shi Bolong was imprisoned.
"My lord!" The snake girl who was in charge of guarding Shi Bolong immediately bowed and saluted.
Zhao Ya nodded, "Is there anything unusual?"
"No, I've been watching him and didn't find anything unusual." The snake girl said very confidently.
Zhao Ya naturally wouldn't doubt the snake girl.
In fact, it should be the one who is most afraid of Shi Bolong waking up.
After all, once Shi Bolong takes power, its end will be worse than anyone else.
That's why Zhao Ya sent it to monitor Shi Bolong.
Zhao Ya stepped in front of the cage and saw Shi Bolong lying quietly inside, his expression was dull and his whole body was stiff. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would be like a dead person.
But Zhao Ya still didn't relax at all, and once again gave Shi Bolong the maximum dose of poison.
These poisons were enough to overturn several giant whales. As soon as they were taken, Shi Bolong's throat made a gurgling sound, and then his breath weakened again, almost to the point of being undetectable.
The snake woman who was guarding next to him was directly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Because Shi Bolong's shout proved that he was not completely asleep, but had some self-awareness, and could even be said to be partially awake.
When she thought that Shi Bolong had been secretly spying around during this period of time, waiting for the opportunity to act, and she was unaware of this, the snake woman's fear became more and more intense.
"My Lord..." She lowered her head with guilt and was about to apologize.
Zhao Ya waved his hand, "Don't say anything, it's not your fault, I was careless."
"This Wuyou Wanshou Palace is indeed unique. The poison I carefully prepared still can't completely control Shi Bolong."
"But he is not so lucky this time. The dosage of the poison I used this time is so strong that no matter how wonderful the skills of Wuyou Wanshou Palace are, it will take a long time to completely digest it. By that time, everything will be over."
Zhao Ya has not been idle during this period. Instead, he has been studying the authority of the black ship. Although it has not been completely conquered yet, there are some clues.
And if this ancient treasure can really be obtained, even this black ship can be abandoned. At that time, Shi Bolong will naturally have no value to keep.
After handling Shi Bolong's affairs, Zhao Ya returned to the control room.
At this time, the fleet, led by Kuang Zongfa, has left the original route and headed in a new direction.
In the next few days, the fleet sailed at full speed and soon arrived at an unfamiliar sea area.
"After passing this sea area, we will enter a small world. Passing through this small world can shorten the journey by at least half." Kuang Zongfa said.
This is an unknown small world. Zhao Ya didn't even find its official name on the sea chart. There was only a rough mark to prove that this small world belonged to a large sect.
When the fleet entered the estuary and entered this small world, the scene along the way could be described as extremely barren and desolate.
Zhao Ya finally understood why this small world didn't even have a name.
Because it is such a barren and desolate place, even if there are natives, they will definitely live a very difficult life.
In this case, it is difficult for martial arts to emerge, because everyone is hungry, so who has the energy to think about martial arts?
So this small world doesn't even have a name.
However, the river that crosses this small world is very wide. Relying on the powerful power of the boat to go upstream, it only takes two days to go deep into the hinterland.
After arriving here, the scenery outside finally got better, but only slightly.
This slightly means that the land by the river has finally turned green, and there are creatures in those strange-looking mountains and forests.
Zhao Ya even saw the natives of this world by chance.
If these people were not wearing clothes made of tree bark, Zhao Ya would almost mistake them for chimpanzees.
When the fleet passed by, the natives fled into the forest in fear. Only some of the brave ones secretly poked their heads out and watched the extremely tall ships slowly passing by with awe.
But soon, the scene in front changed again.
The forest disappeared, replaced by two huge peaks, with a river flowing between the peaks.
At this moment, a gate was artificially built in the middle of the mountain, and someone was guarding it.
