Nine idlers

The Shitunguska River, also known as the Middle Tunguska River, is located in the middle reaches of the Yenisei River and is one of the main tributary channels of the Yenisei River. There are not too many cities all over the place.

The main function of the entire river is to transport timber and coal mines, but there are many shoals and dangerous shoals in the upper reaches, making it impossible for large ships to pass, so there are few ships on the river.

When Xu Changqing and his boat entered the Shitunguska River, although the ice-covered period of the river had already passed, it ushered in the flood season of the river again. Since the day they entered the river, the rain has not stopped, and the water flow in the river It becomes turbulent and turbulent, and it is accompanied by a large number of broken tree trunks washed down from upstream.

Under such circumstances, no matter how proficient in sailing a boat is, the captain who is very familiar with the river will not take the risk of sailing upstream.Although Victor has never sailed on such a river, his experience of sailing on Lake Baikal for many years allowed him to judge the danger of sailing at the moment, so on the day he entered the Shitunguska River, he proposed to temporarily Dock the boat and wait for the rain to stop before leaving.

Faced with such bad weather and dangerous torrents, even Yakov, who has a strong self-healing ability, felt a little scared. He was going to agree to Victor's proposal, and wait until he landed to see if he could find the vehicle. Head to Baikita and from there catch a coal train to the Tunguska coalfields in the middle of the forest.

However, Xu Changqing, who has never expressed any opinion on the itinerary, offered to ask, or order, to still walk along the river this time, without giving Victor and others a chance to persuade them.Seeing this situation, Victor and the others didn't make any sense anymore, they drove the boat to the middle of the river, and quickly drove upstream.

I don’t know if it’s because Xu Changqing’s miraculous vision was too amazing, which gave Victor and others great confidence, so that they didn’t feel any fear even in the face of the raging river in front of them. , but became extremely excited.After they drank two bottles of vodka, they sang all the Soviet military songs that could come to mind.While skillfully manipulating the rudder, he steered the boat upstream.When they were extremely excited, they even got carried away, not only did they fail to avoid the big waves on the river caused by the wind and rain.Instead, he turned the bow of the boat and deliberately went up, just like a knight facing a dragon in an old novel.

Compared with the unscrupulous behavior of the three little guys, Victor, Yakov was much more cautious, regardless of the storm outside.With difficulty, he moved from the deck to the bow, tied himself to the railing of the bow with a cable, then turned his hands into lava arms, and condensed into a bright red lava ball in his palm, staring nervously at The water surface in front of the bow is ready to throw the lava ball in the hand at any time, smashing the foreign objects on the river surface that may cause damage to the hull.Because of the high temperature on the lava arm, the rainwater falling from the sky turned into a cloud of water vapor when it hit it, and over time, the water vapor gathered together.After a journey of rain and fog, Yakov was shrouded in it, making his figure looming, only the fiery red arms were still eye-catching, adding a sense of awe-inspiring mystery.

This magic technique is a powerful attack magic technique that Xu Changqing passed on to Yakov in the past few days. This magic technique was not created by Xu Changqing specifically for Yakov, but originated from the Holy Ruins.It is an instinctive magic that every god descendant with the blood of the flame giant in the holy market will turn a part of the body into a lava ball and throw it out, causing a huge range of damage, and Yakov's lava man ability is also It fits perfectly.Learned how to use it in just one day.According to Yakov's inference, the power of a lava ball is comparable to that of ten conventional grenades bundled together, and Yakov's strength with this magical technique can be said to have improved by not a little bit.

However, the advantages and disadvantages of this divine technique are very prominent.If you don't pay attention, you will eat yourself back.The advantage is that as long as the flaming giant is in the lava, this magic can be released without restriction, because when each lava ball is extracted, the flaming giant can extract the same amount of lava from the lava Into itself.The disadvantage is that if there is no endless lava to support it, the number of lava balls produced will become limited, if this limit is exceeded.Then it will cause irreparable damage to itself.However, this defect is nothing to Yakov who has a strong self-healing ability. Even if he turns his hands into lava balls and throws them out, as long as he turns back into a human body, the self-healing ability can heal his hands , it only takes half a day at most to return to normal.

Although Yakov was worried about the swaying boat swayed by the river, he was more excited.After he got this divine technique from Xu Changqing and learned how to use it, he really wanted to know how strong he had become.For so many years, the power of his blood has not been able to be used well, which made him always think that his ability is weak.However, after only less than ten days of guidance and training, he felt that his ability was so powerful, completely different from before, but the habit of many years still made him lack of confidence, which made him eager to fight in a real way. , Make sure that your strength has really improved, not just a feeling.

However, what distressed Yakov, who couldn't wait for the danger to appear, was that he was ready for a big fight, but the danger that should have been encountered constantly never appeared. There were obviously countless broken logs and other foreign objects on the river. He rushed down, but none of them hit the ship, making his strength suffocated in his hands, unable to release, very uncomfortable.

Soon, Yakov discovered that the large foreign objects rushing down from the front of the river rushed to a place four or five feet away from the bow of the ship each time, and the river turned back into a wave, easily removing these foreign objects from the boat. Shot open on the route, posing no threat to the hull.If such a wave only appeared once, it would make sense to describe it as a coincidence, but the problem is that this kind of wave appears countless times, and all of them are aimed at foreign objects that are dangerous to the hull. Floaters that pose no threat to humans are ignored and are clearly human-caused.

Yakov thought of Xu Changqing's decision to insist on walking the river, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, and then he couldn't help laughing at himself, retracted the lava ball, returned his hands to their original shape, untied the rope on his body, and returned to the cabin Inside.He stopped at the door of Xu Changqing's cabin, looked at the soaked clothes, and hesitated whether to knock on the door.

Just when Yakov was hesitating, the cabin door opened by itself. Xu Changqing sat on the sofa opposite the door, looked at a book as thick as a dictionary in his hand by the orange light in the cabin, and raised his hand to signal him Come in.

Seeing this, Yakov stepped into the cabin regardless of the wet clothes on his body. What surprised him was that the moment he stepped into the cabin, all the rainwater on his body automatically fell off and turned into a A small drop of water was suspended in the air, then gathered together, turned into a big water ball and fell into the bucket outside the cabin.

"Now is not the time. You want to know how much your strength has improved. There will be opportunities in the future." Xu Changqing pointed to the chair next to him, motioning him to sit down.

It was only at this time that Yakov realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this cabin, because before he entered the cabin, the boat was still swaying here and there under the push of the river, and he had to hold on to the wall to stand firm, but inside this cabin Everything is very stable, as if the cabin is on flat ground.

Feeling Xu Changqing's miraculous power again, although Yakov felt extremely shocked in his heart, his whole body was a little numb to this shock, so numb that his inner feeling and body's reaction had been torn apart.No matter how agitated he was, his expression didn't change accordingly, as if everything was normal.

Just when Yakov just sat down, Xu Changqing suddenly took out the black stone and handed it to Yakov, saying: "Take this and feel it with your heart, and then tell me what you feel."

Yakov took the stone, and before he could close his eyes to feel it, he showed a startled expression, and then became confused and deep again, his eyes were dull, as if he had the disease of leaving the soul.

Xu Changqing was also a little surprised that Yakov reacted so quickly, but this situation was not out of his control, on the contrary, it was better than he expected, so Xu Changqing did not take the black stone back, but Sitting quietly and waiting for Yakov to recover himself.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yakov suddenly had a jolt, and his whole body trembled a few times, followed by his dull eyes gradually regaining their expressions, and his body became relaxed. The black stone in his hand also fell from his hand as his body relaxed.

Before the stone touched the ground, it was caught by an invisible force, moved in the air, and fell into Xu Changqing's hands.

"What did you see?" Xu Changqing asked in a deep voice with a look of interest.

"I, I didn't see anything!" Yakov didn't seem to be fully awake yet, so he responded in a daze, then realized his answer, and quickly explained: "You gave me the stone just now. At that time, my whole body seemed to be pulled into a world, and that world was very warm, just like the embrace of a mother." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, with a nostalgic expression on his face, and then quickly recovered. Come over and continue: "It's just that after I woke up, my memory of that world became blurred. What I felt during that time, I can't describe it in words." (~^~)
