Boarding the Ship

Ye Fan, Gu Xinyue and the other three people passed through the long wilderness, and after a few days, they arrived at the edge of the wilderness.

At the edge of the great wilderness is a huge wild river.

Huge waves surged into the sky, roaring and roaring, dozens of miles wide and endless in length, and the Taotao River surged into the endless distance.

This giant river is called the "Blackwater River". It stretches across the billions of miles of Zhongzhou, passing through countless dangerous canyons, vast plains, and almost running through the entire vast land of Zhongzhou. It is the most important main river in Zhongzhou.

The Blackwater has an extremely abundant amount of water. The huge amount of water has nurtured the fertile land for hundreds of millions of miles on both sides of the river. Countless creatures and tribes depend on the Blackwater River for survival.

Without this river, I am afraid that the entire land of Zhongzhou would be a barren land with no grass growing.

This huge black water river is turbulent and rapid, with many undercurrents and whirlpools. Once it is sucked into it, it will be sucked away and disappear almost in the blink of an eye.

The current in the river is extremely strong, and even the water-type Martial King does not dare to dive into the Blackwater River easily. He will be swept away without a trace by accident, and even be torn apart by the undercurrent.

Only a handful of powerful water monsters can survive in the Blackwater River.

The entire giant river is majestic and shocking.

In the center of this long Blackwater River, which is the core hinterland of Zhongzhou, where the tributaries meet, there is an extremely dangerous inlet called "Blackwater Bay".

Blackwater Bay is an extremely strange place. The natural terrain is extremely dangerous. No one of the four major races can conquer it, making it a place difficult for the Holy God to control.

At first, due to its dangerous terrain, Blackwater Bay became a gathering place for fugitives, traitors, and smugglers from the four tribes, as well as a paradise for adventurers.

Later, more and more people gathered, gradually forming a huge Blackwater Bay force.

Many complex underground forces from the human race, beast race, ghost race and spirit race gathered here, and dragons and snakes were entrenched here, making it the only place in the Shenwu Continent where merchants from the four major races could conduct foreign trade.

For example, trade between the Shenwu Dongzhou Human Race and the Nanzhou Beast Alliance is usually prohibited. The rare and exotic fruits from the Nanzhou Beast Alliance's large real estate cannot be sold to the human race. The human race's rare elixirs cannot be sold to the Beast Alliance.

But in Blackwater Bay, you can trade with each other, buy here and resell it to other places, thereby making huge profits several times or even dozens of times.

Adventurers from the four races in Dongzhou, Nanzhou, Beizhou and Xizhou of Shenwu Continent and businessmen seeking huge profits swarmed in, bringing endless rare resources to exchange with foreign businessmen.

Because the alien resources here are extremely rich, it naturally attracts many strong masters.

Among them are many top-notch masters of the late martial arts kings of various races.

To be able to establish a foothold in a place like Zhongzhou, a place like the Fourth War, especially in a place like Blackwater Bay, it is simply impossible to achieve without absolute strength.

It can be said that most of the top king-level masters of various races in the Shenwu Continent often hang out in the Blackwater Bay area.

Even emperor-level powerhouses often appear, but they usually hide behind various forces and are unwilling to reveal their true identities due to various scruples.

This is also the only place in Zhongzhou where wars between four races rarely break out.

Of course, private fights and fights in Blackwater Bay are unavoidable, and no one will care about them.

The destination of Ye Fan's trip is Blackwater Bay.

Blackwater Bay is the most chaotic place in Zhongzhou, with all races mixed together, but it is the best cover for them. Once they enter this place, even the Purple Phoenix Sect will completely lose track of them.

They plan to stay in Blackwater Bay for five to ten years, striving to break through to the Martial Emperor stage as soon as possible.

…

On the Blackwater River, there is a ferry.

At this time, a huge ship with a thousand feet of heavy armor was moored at the ferry. The bow of the ship was as sharp as an arrow piercing the clouds. There were countless spears and sharp thorns on the decks on the left and right sides of the ship. The bottom of the ship was made of strong high-grade dark iron armor up to ten inches thick.

What's even more rare is that the outer armor of the ship is vaguely engraved with formation runes, glowing with bursts of golden light, which greatly enhances the ship's armor's defense. Even if one is at the Martial Emperor Realm, it will be difficult to penetrate the deck of this giant ship.

At the bow of the giant ship, there are several super cannons that point in different directions without leaving any blind spots. Just by looking at its caliber, you can feel that the power of these giant cannons is extremely terrifying.

The ship's defenses are almost armed to the teeth.

The Blackwater River is windy and rough, and small boats are easily capsized by big waves. Only this kind of giant, heavily armored ship can withstand strong winds, waves and attacks by water monsters, and sail smoothly in the Blackwater River.

The ship can accommodate up to several thousand business travelers, and can carry about a dozen large and small caravans.

Now there are only 90% guests.

The giant ship will only set off when it is full.

Because the heavy-armored ship has not set off yet, there are many guests on the deck who are ventilating and do not want to stay in the stuffy ground floor rooms.

Among them are many strong men in the middle and late stages of King Wu.

At this time, many martial arts cultivators on the ship were seeing a young couple and an old servant appearing at the ferry, claiming to want to board the ship.

Suddenly many people showed surprise.

Those who board the ship to Blackwater Bay are usually caravans of more than a hundred people.

There are very few individual travelers.

Even individual travelers often form groups and set off to Blackwater Bay together.

It is rare to see three people boarding a ship alone like this once or twice a year. Of course, such guests often have unique characteristics. They are usually top masters of the Martial Emperor Realm, and they walk alone in Zhongzhou.

But neither of the young couple and the decrepit old servant in front of them looked like a martial emperor at all. I'm afraid he's a daredevil from Dongzhou who doesn't know anything, so he came here to go to Blackwater Bay.

"Someone actually goes on the road alone. It's so desperate!"

"I'm afraid he is a child of a noble family from a small place in Dongzhou. He brought his wife and servants with him and wanted to see the world! It is a miracle that such a person can survive to this day."

On the deck of the heavily armored ship, many martial arts cultivators showed contempt and jeered in low voices.

On the ship's armor, several sailors wearing black clothes and with muscles as solid as bronze, and with a martial arts level of about Wuhou realm, were selling tickets.

A sailor looked at Ye Fan and the three people who walked onto the ship from the ferry deck. After a few glances, he lost interest. He said in a lazy and cold voice, "The final destination of our ship is Blackwater Bay. There are only a few hundred lower-class cabins left." .Three thousand yuan stones for a cabin!"

In fact, there are several upper-class cabins and dozens of middle-class cabins, but they are very expensive, costing tens of thousands of yuan stones.

However, these three people were dressed as ordinary martial arts practitioners, and they did not look like people who could afford a high-class house.

"Then just two inferior rooms!"

Ye Fan smiled and didn't mind too much.

After staying in a harsh place like the Great Wasteland Tomb for more than a month, it was good to have a clean cabin to live in.

On this trip to Blackwater Bay for retreat, we need to be as low-key and cautious as possible to avoid attracting too much attention.

He bought two tickets and boarded the giant ship with Gu Xinyue and Gu Chunbo, preparing to take the boat along the Blackwater, the largest river in Zhongzhou, to the famous "Blackwater Bay" in Zhongzhou.

"Hey, Brother Ye, Sister Xinyue, you are here too! It's me, Wen Hao!"

On the deck of the giant ship, among a group of businessmen, a woman in Tsing Yi saw Ye Fan and couldn't help but make a sound of surprise and waved excitedly to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue couldn't help but go out after hearing the sound, and were surprised to find that Liao Wenhuo and others were also on the heavily armored ship that was about to set off.
