Superbase Evolution

Chapter 584: The River That Cannot Be Crossed

“Don’t be anxious. It takes time to adapt when you come here for the first time. It took us several times to get used to the strange environment here. Even now, we still make mistakes occasionally.” Wei Shouxin said with a smile.

Lin Shen nodded, and while moving slowly to adapt to the strange environment here, he looked around.

They were now in a valley filled with colorful mushrooms. The sky was bright and blue, but there was no sun to be seen.

At the end of the valley, there is a big mountain, which divides the valley into two parts, making the valley extend in two different directions.

It took Lin Shen a while to adapt before he was able to walk normally. Although it was also Wei Wufu's first time here, he adapted very well and soon there was no difference between here and when he was outside.

"Old Wei's talent for controlling his body is absolutely top-notch." Lin Shen admired in his heart.

"Adapt as you go. It's hard to fully adapt in a short period of time." Seeing that Lin Shen was able to walk normally, Wei Shoucheng led them to walk slowly along the valley.

There was no problem in moving forward. Lin Shen kept raising his hands as he walked, trying his best to control his hands and feet.

"Are the mushrooms here poisonous?" Lin Shen asked as he looked at the colorful mushrooms in the valley.

"It's poisonous. If you accidentally eat the mushroom or swallow the liquid inside the mushroom, you will have hallucinations." Wei Shoucheng answered very straightforwardly. Obviously they must have tried it before.

Lin Shen wanted to try to enhance his body's resistance, but now was obviously not the time to adapt.

They walked all the way to the fork in the valley, but didn't see any living creatures appear. This was a little different from what Lin Shen had imagined.

He thought there would be many Nirvana creatures here, but in the end he didn't see any.

"We have explored part of the forks on both sides before, but for some reasons, we were not able to continue exploring. Let's take the left side today." Wei Shoucheng said as he walked towards the left fork.

Lin Shen and the other two followed. The valley on this side was not as straight as the one in the front. It was like a crescent moon, curving to one side.

The further you go, the more mushrooms there are in the valley. At first you can avoid them, but later you can only step on them to move forward.

When I stepped on those mushrooms, I felt a soft touch under my feet and could see colorful liquids squeezing out from the soles of my shoes. It gave me an inexplicable sense of refreshment.

Because the valley is curved, you can't see what's in the distance. You can only see colorful mushrooms starting to appear on the mountain wall. Later, the entire mountain wall is covered with mushrooms of various colors. The mountain wall is filled with colorful weird eyes.

Lin Shen was glad that he didn't have claustrophobia, otherwise he would really die in a place like this.

The four people walked for a distance and a river appeared in front of them. It looked to be only a dozen meters wide. It flowed out from a cave on one side of the mountain wall, crossed the valley, and flowed into a cave on the opposite mountain wall.

The river water is also colorful, just like gasoline that fell into the water and reflected in the sun.

But the color of the river water is darker and looks very strange.

"We were blocked by this river before and couldn't continue exploring." Wei Shoucheng said as he stood by the river, looking at the opposite bank.

There is still a valley on the other side, also covered with various colorful mushrooms.

“Can’t jump over?” Lin Shen knew there must be a problem, otherwise even if they couldn’t fly, they could still jump over.

"This river is very strange. Even if you jump, you will fall into the river. And the water seems to be infected with mushroom toxins. If you fall into it, you will be hallucinating and you can't even climb out. Last time, someone fell into the water. If we didn't bring a hook to pull him out, I'm afraid he would have sunk to the bottom of the river." Wei Shouxin explained. Lin Shen had seen this kind of river before, so he was not surprised to hear this. He just asked, "Is there a plan to cross the river?"

"We can only try to climb over the mountain wall." Wang Shoucheng said as he took out a rope, tied it around himself, and handed the other end to Wang Shouxin.

The mountain wall is covered with mushrooms, extending all the way to the cave where the water flows out. These mushrooms are everywhere you can see inside the cave.

"Do we need to clean up the mushrooms first?" Lin Shen asked as he looked at the mushrooms on the cliff.

"No need. I have an ability that allows me to climb over without destroying those mushrooms. After I get over there, I will fix the rope on the opposite side, and you can climb over along the rope." Wang Shoucheng said as he climbed up the mountain wall.

Rather than climbing the mountain wall, Wang Shoucheng looked more like he was stuck on the mushroom-covered mountain wall.

His entire shell seemed to be sucked onto the mushrooms, and he was crawling slowly on the mushrooms like a gecko, and actually did not hurt the fragile mushrooms.

"Wow, what kind of ability is this?" When Lin Shen was exclaiming, he suddenly saw Wang Shoucheng, who had just climbed above the river, falling down from the mountain wall.

Wang Shouxin was quick-witted and quick-handed. He gripped the rope tightly with both hands, but did not pull hard. Instead, he let Wang Shoucheng fall into the river.

It was not until Wang Shoucheng fell into the river that Wang Shouxin pulled the rope hard and quickly pulled Wang Shoucheng out of the river.

Lin Shen speculated that it was impossible to pull the person back while he was in the air, and he could only be pulled out after he fell into the river.

If this was true, then Lin Shen would not be sure whether his ladder to heaven could fly over the river.

Even if he can't climb the ladder, he still has the skill of floating on water, so he should be able to cross the river.

Wei Shoucheng, who was pulled up, had his shell automatically removed. His whole face turned red, as if he was drunk. His eyes narrowed into slits and he mumbled something in his mouth, but it was a pity that no one could hear clearly what he said.

"It seems that this road is blocked. We can only go another way." Wang Shouxin took out a bottle of medicine and gave it to Wang Shoucheng to drink.

Lin Shen originally thought it was a drug to remove hallucinations, but he didn't expect it to be an anesthetic, which made Wang Shoucheng fall asleep directly.

"We haven't found a drug that can cure hallucinations yet, so this is the only way. Fortunately, this kind of hallucinations don't cause much damage to the body, and it will be fine after the effect wears off." Wang Shouxin sighed and said, "This road is blocked. After Shoucheng wakes up, we will go to the other side. It's not easy over there either. I don't know if the things we prepared can work."

"Let me try, maybe I can cross the river." Lin Shen said to Wang Shouxin.

"How did you get there?" Wang Shouxin looked at Lin Shen with some confusion.

"Let's give it a try. I'm not sure either." Lin Shen pointed at the rope and said, "Tie it up for me."

Wang Shouxin untied the ropes on Wang Shoucheng, tied them to Lin Shen, and pulled the ropes as before.

Lin took a deep breath and walked towards the river.

"What are you doing?" Wang Shouxin was shocked when he saw Lin Shen was about to go into the river. He quickly stopped him and said angrily, "The river water is hallucinogenic and can damage the brain. Don't joke with your body."

Lin Shen then realized that what they had said before was easy was not really that easy, they were just silently bearing the risks.
