Chapter 294: Unable to get through [Ire]

"As for that exaggeration?" Oleka was a little unbelievable, "Even in Longblade Valley, I came out alone... There is no reason for so many people to do it, right?"

"This is not a matter of many people... The water flows too fast! You will know after you see it with your own eyes!" Ai Lei gave up his plan to continue his description - he felt that his poor words were not enough to describe the steepness there.

No matter how curious about the situation there, I always have to eat it. After cooking the jerky meat, everyone had a full meal, recovered their energy, and their confidence soared a lot - this kid, Aile, must have never seen the world!

However, when they followed Ailey to the highlands together and saw the Qiufeng River a mile away, everyone's hearts were cold.

Due to the obstruction of trees, everyone could not see the entire view of the clear river;

However, from the area that can be observed, Ayre is right - if you want to cross the river, you will probably have to grow wings and fly.

They had never seen the Qiufeng River with their own eyes before; when they really witnessed it, they knew why this river could serve as a barrier for Reinder.

First of all, her width - even if it is not as good as the Sijie River, the river surface here is more than twenty feet wide;

Then there was her flow rate-Ary arrived here accurately because he listened to the clamor of the river;

If you look closer, you will find that it is not that easy for a fish to swim to the opposite side. The whistling river water is probably even able to sniff out even the fish on the water surface;

The extremely high speed of flowing water makes the option of "swimming over" completely impossible - people will be swept away by the torrent and will not know where to end.

Finally, there was the situation on her river surface - the branches of some trees on both sides grew too lushly and covered above the river;

In relatively short places, river water can even splash directly on the branches and leaves.

There is no doubt that if the boat passes, unless it can be kept in the middle of the river, it will hit those branches...

I guess people will be swept directly into the river.

Too dangerous.

"Let's get closer and take a look." Oleka suggested, "Although it's certainly impossible to get through, maybe... can we find another way?"

"Yes...yes, I can't stay here all the time..." Aire also nodded.

When they arrive by the river, they must "scream" to let the people around them hear it clearly - the sound of the river is too loud.

As for the depth… Fran picked up a stone and threw it towards the river;

Alay wanted to ask how deep it would be, but Fran just shook his head.

Judging from the faint sound and the little bubbles that were almost swept away by the waves, it was quite deep.

What’s even more terrible is that the so-called “shore” is half a foot from the water surface, just like a relatively small cliff;

Even if you make a boat, how to successfully get started is a problem.

"This is because it is not the season with a lot of precipitation at present," Geral explained. "When rain is rich, the river water will rise, and this distance of most of the half-meter may not be enough for people."

If you look closely at the nearby area, you will find that the landform has traces of being washed by river water and there are quite a lot of fine mud and sand on the ground.

No wonder this river was used by the Ryan family as a defensive means...

"It must be impossible to get over this." Oleka sighed and looked at Fran and Ayre: "I said, nobles, you two have to rely on you again next."

"Ah... what do you need to do?" Arie was a little curious: Fran is a magician after all, and she must do something; there is no big difference between herself and mercenaries...

"We need to observe upstream and downstream respectively," Oleka said, "choose a few people who are quick to deal with."

"Why is it me..." Ailey scratched his head.

"Apart from Fran, you are still good at magic." Oleka smiled wickedly, "Safety is the first."

The so-called "quick hands and feet" are just to draw three people out of the Iron Teeth Group in the order of rotation of work - this is how Oleka arranged it along the way, which is fair.

After all, the levels of these mercenaries are roughly similar. Except for Geral, they are all copper wolf and iron leopard.

Two reconnaissance teams were ready to set off; since Fran was a woman, he could just go downstream and make a little investigation - there shouldn't be any suitable place there.

This place is not very far from the foot of the mountain; if there is a gentle place, the Ryan family should have controlled it.

Ailey needs to check more to see if there is any suitable place.

"If you see someone, don't contact me... The other party's position is not clear, it will alarm the enemy." Although he was reminding the two, Oleka kept staring at Ayre: "We will roast meat here and wait for you! Come back before dark!"

"I know, I know~" Aile said indifferently - how could someone be there in such a place?

Especially upstream... as for the downstream, there may be a place guarded by the Ryan family.

While thinking this, Alye took three mercenaries to walk through the forest quickly;

He had to concentrate—although he could also feel the fluctuations of magic, it was far from convenient than Fran.

Since it is exploring upstream, there are no suitable high ground nearby that can observe the large watershed situation, and can only move forward step by step towards the mountain.

Fortunately, I didn’t encounter any monsters along the way... but I didn’t find any place to cross the river.

"Hey, brothers, we should go back, right?" After half an afternoon, Ailey felt that his physical strength was a little too late.

The three mercenaries had long been unable to stand it and kept holding on. I couldn't hold on. Irey was younger than them, and even stronger than them. It would be too embarrassing to be tired first than Irey.

"Okay, then... let's take a break." A mercenary gasped while looking at the surroundings;

"Hey, let's go there for a rest, right? The ground looks quite clean and spacious." Another mercenary said, pointing not far away.

After all, there is a lot of mud on the ground. If you sit directly on it, the leather armor will be stained with a lot of mud.

After approaching, the three of them found that there seemed to be something abnormal there - the mud and sand on the ground had footprints, which were quite dense;

"Something is wrong... Has anyone been here?" After getting closer, Ailei observed carefully and confirmed that it was human footprints rather than animals.

It seems that there are at least dozens of people, and several days have passed;

After looking at the distance, there seemed to be traces of a bonfire - some burnt remaining branches and ashes.

The traces of the bonfire indicate that someone has stayed here... Is this clearly in the Mausen Mountains far away from the crowd?

What exactly happened here?
