There were vast waves in front of Chen Yu's eyes. This was exactly where the Ji River merged into Chengshui.

It took seven days and 600 miles of riding across two counties to finally arrive.

At first glance, whether it is the main river Chengshui or the tributary Jishui, the water is deep and dark, and you can't see the bottom.

The legend is indeed true. I wonder if this severe drought has anything to do with the blackening of the clear water.

According to legend, the Chengshui River is 800 miles long and can only be crossed by huge ships.

The fact that Daning and Daliang could live in peace was largely due to the barrier of Chengshui.

The flow rate of Chengshui River is much slower than that of Jishui River, and there are large tracts of woods and grasslands along its coast.

Chen Yu came to the river and scooped up a handful of river water. It was very clear, without any impurities.

It was really strange. He let go of the river water and wanted to go to the other side to take a look.

Chen Yu didn't touch the water to freeze, he just jumped up and ran away.

With the speed of a cultivator, it is entirely possible to walk on the waves.

If he really ran, he would be much faster than Tamei. In just a quarter of an hour, he reached the other side of the clear water.

Chen Yu estimated that the Chengshui River was less than 800 miles long, probably around 640 miles.

Of course, the river downstream may be wider, and it is possible that it is more than 800 miles.

The other side of Chengshui is the territory of Daliang, which is now deserted.

Chen Yu let the horse go and walked another thousand miles before he saw a village.

The drought here is much milder. Although the food production has decreased, people can still survive and there has not been a large number of refugees.

The grass along the way was green, and a few sparse elm seeds were floating in the wind on the treetops.

Chen Yu wanted to go into the village to take a look, but unfortunately the language and customs were so different that he could only peek from a distance.

A cultivator's body is naturally sensitive, and by transferring spiritual energy to a certain part of the body, it can also enhance perception in that area.

"Eh!" Chen Yu was amazed. There are people in this village who keep cats. He has never seen one in Daning.

It was already late at night, and the village was filled with wisps of smoke.

In a family, the husband came back from the fields and his wife was preparing dinner at home.

Three children, big and small, were playing with a kitten in the yard. When they saw their father coming back, they rushed over to him.

It’s a pity that I only saw this one, and it’s an adult cat.

I wandered around Daliang for a few days, but didn't see anything special.

Chen Yu returned to the riverside and prepared to go downstream to have a look.

A group of water birds were startled in the swamp, flapped their wings lightly, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yu had been riding along Chengshui for more than eight days. While sightseeing, he also paid attention to whether there were any spiritual plants distributed in the wild.

At this time, I actually found one. I saw a few lotus leaves growing alone on the half-acre water surface.

It can be seen that this lotus leaf has just grown.

Chen Yu felt that the fluctuation of its spiritual energy was quite strong. He first tried the surroundings, but found that there was no strange beast guarding it.

This surprised him, but he didn't hesitate and went straight into the water to collect it.

Qi-refining monks can use their spiritual power to isolate themselves from the outside world, so even though they go into the water, their clothes will not be stained at all.

The lotus root had grown very deep, so Chen Yu pushed aside the mud and pulled it out carefully without any damage.

The lotus root has five sections, which are as white as jade.

The amazing thing is that there are no roots, only four leaves sticking out from it.

Ta Mei was staring at the lotus root on the shore. The spiritual energy on it was even richer than the medicinal herbs it usually ate.

You can't eat this.

Chen Yu took the lotus root and entered the space. Now he had to dig a pond inside.

Fortunately, the space has become larger these days, and it is now two and a half acres in area.

Chen Yu dug a pool in front of the peach tree that was four meters long, two meters wide and three feet high.

He patted the bottom of the pond firm and then poured some water and silt directly into it from the swamp.

He planted the lotus root right in the middle of the pond and it looked intact.

With the Jade Dew of Fortune by his side and the magic of space, Chen Yu didn't worry about his survival at all.

These days he placed the jade bottle in the mane on Tamei's back, and lay directly on Tamei's back at night.

The mane of the tama tree is long and thick, and it gives it a whole shape, so the jade bottle is placed firmly on it.

As for the probability of being discovered by other people, it would be about the same as long as you go out to bask in the sun. Chen Yu was also thinking about how to solve this problem.

The lotus roots were planted in the space and Chen Yu continued to move forward.

There are swamps everywhere here. Even if you walk carefully, your hooves will still be covered in mud and you can't see their original appearance.

After walking for several days, Chen Yu suddenly woke up.

There has been a severe drought on both sides of Chengshui River for such a long time, why hasn't the water level dropped?

Normally, these large swamps that can only be produced during the flood season are still boundless at this moment.

From time to time he would come across some villages that happened to be able to draw water from the Cheng River for irrigation.

So just like Baimu Town, although it was affected, it was minimal.

The old man inside told him that in the past, when floods broke out in Chengshui, they would swallow up the nearby swamps, so there would be no human habitation there.

After the drought broke out, many refugees poured into the swamp and never came out again.

Chen Yu did see a lot of bones in the swamp, so it seems that this is how they came from.

There are probably even more corpses under the mud.

The swamp is full of dangers, and it is difficult for ordinary people to survive if they go in.

The old man also said that when the drought first started, the water level of Chengshui suddenly rose a lot.

The locals thought it was because of heavy rain upstream.

After a while, the water level slowly dropped to a level slightly lower than usual, and it never changed.

After leaving the village, Chen Yu came to the edge of clear water.

There was not a single cloud in the clear sky, but there was even more haze in his heart.

Unfortunately, he was unable to figure out the matter and could only continue wandering with Ta Mei.

This time it was on a sandbar in the river.

It is an area of ​​more than ten acres and not far from the shore.

It was covered with weeds, with tender green leaves swaying slightly in the river breeze.

Only one small tree is different from the others, exuding a strong spiritual energy.

There are about sixty or seventy fruits of various sizes on the tree, which are white and round.

Two strange beasts were guarding nearby, they seemed to be a male and a female.

This strange beast looked like the crocodile in the previous life, but it was much larger, more than ten meters long.

At this moment, he was lying on the beach, as if basking in the sun.

Chen Yu observed and found that the spiritual energy fluctuations were quite strong, but not as strong as his own.

Seeing this, he took action boldly.

He took out a long sword from the space and threw it out instantly, piercing the monster's head.

He had this made by the town's blacksmith before he went on his journey. It is always better to have a weapon than to be empty-handed.

It's a pity that it didn't work before, but this time it worked.

The blade bent directly when it came into contact with the strange beast, after all, it was just ordinary iron.

But with the blessing of Chen Yu's spiritual energy, the enormous speed allowed him to penetrate into the body of the strange beast.

Blood and sparks splattered everywhere. The monster that was hit by the sudden disaster roared angrily, and then it noticed Chen Yu who was hundreds of meters away.

He didn't panic and waited for the knife wound to take effect.

The other uninjured beast saw its companion injured and rushed towards Chen Yu in anger.

Faced with the rampaging monster, he did not panic. Instead, he raised his hand and threw another egg-sized stone at it.
