Zheng Yang and Tenok returned to the landing position around the lake, pushed the raft into the water, and jumped on the raft to support the dark river.
The bottom of this lake must be connected to the outside world, and only the underground spring seeps out to support the flow of the dark river. But it is isolated by the barrier, although there is air, but there is no clear water to gather, so the water flowing out of the dark river is not strong.
The raft slid into the dark river, where the water has long since returned to calm, but there is still blood that has not completely dissipated.
Tenok was fully on alert, he didn't know that the big bug was summoned by Zheng Yang, he just thought it was another crisis lurking in the dark.
At this time, the scale-armored monster dragged a large snake skin fifty to sixty meters long, and hid itself under the wall of the cave where the raft was about to slide.
The boat spirit couldn't bring things back by itself. When Zheng Yang passed by, he touched the snake skin silently, and sent the snake skin and the boat spirit back to the spirit boat.
The giant double-headed poisonous python was devoured by the ship spirit, leaving only a thin snake skin, not even its fangs, bones and poison sac.
The size of the ship spirit has grown to nearly one meter long, and its growth length has also reached level 2 + 90%.
"Such a large piece of snake skin has a high degree of toughness. It can be used to modify the sails of the spirit ship after it evolves."
Zheng Yang thought to himself.
The raft successfully left the deep water area connected to the lake and entered a narrow channel whose depth was no more than two meters. Without Zheng Yang's support, as long as the direction is controlled, it will slowly drift along the flowing water.
When returning to the ghost-eyed monkey cave all the way, Zheng Yang and Tennok discovered at the same time that there was a slanting fork hidden behind a boulder. Because of the angle, they didn't notice the existence of this fork at all when they came.
It is precisely because this fork diverted about two-thirds of the water volume that the amount of water that allowed the underground river to flow through the outer valley was so small.
"It should lead to the sea!"
Thinking so, Zheng Yang shone his headlight into the fork, and found an upstream fork in the fork.
It turned out that two dark rivers met here, and then parted ways.
There should be ghost-eyed monkeys in the fork, after all, their range of activities extends to the seaside. But Zheng Yang didn't want to make trouble, so he propped the raft back.
Not long after, the two returned to the valley.
"Tennocker, would you like to dig up a grave?"
Zheng Yang pointed to the dilapidated tombs and asked.
Tennok shook his head: "Po, we should respect the dead, even though it may have been altered inside."
Zheng Yang looked at the electronic watch on his wrist and said, "Then hurry up and get out of the mountain. It's two o'clock in the afternoon, and try to return to the village before dark."
When the two stepped out of the valley, Zheng Yang and Tenok looked back at the same time, and found that the valley full of graves was no longer behind them.
Instead, there is a mountain. They tried to go back for a while, and they were indeed climbing a mountain without entering the original valley.
The two looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to figure out what kind of power could cause such an astonishing effect.
The return journey was much faster. In fact, the two returned to the village outside the mountain before the sun went down.
Tenok paid a hundred gold shields and asked the people in the village to drive them back to English Port.
After getting in the car, Tenok kept staring at Zheng Yang. After a while, seeing Zheng Yang's indifference, Tenok's face was not very good-looking, and he said, "A Bao, did you forget something?"
"What? Oh, sorry!"
Zheng Yang took out the nun's pocket watch and returned it to Tennok.
He didn't intend to covet Motenok's holy relic, he was thinking about where to evolve the spirit ship after getting in the car, and he really forgot to return the thing.
…
It was just getting dark when Zheng Yang returned to the pier, took the ten kilograms of mercury collected from the security guard and returned to the ship.
After tidying up his luggage, Zheng Yang sent a message to Luo Funi, stating that he had returned, and then went to the stern of the boat to stare at the bundle of snakeskin that was randomly rolled up by the boat spirit and studied for a while.
Although this snake's skin is thin, its body surface is still covered with scales, so it is quite a large bundle when rolled up.
At this time, Chuan Ling took the initiative to show up and spit out a palm-sized cross in front of Zheng Yang. At the same time, it ignorantly conveyed a hint of consciousness to Zheng Yang, explaining that the cross was found in the belly of the big snake.
Zheng Yang picked up the cross in surprise and looked at it.
The whole body of this cross was dark and black, and there were some traces of corrosion on the surface. I don't know how long it had been swallowed by that giant python. But as soon as he picked up the cross, Zheng Yang's face changed, and he was surprised and surprised.
This cross is actually a sacred object. Holding it, Zheng Yang can feel the ease and peace of mind he had when holding the "nun's pocket watch" before.
What a huge bonus!
Of course, Zheng Yang did not intend to share this surprise with Tenok. He looked at the cross carefully, and input spiritual energy to feel it.
Then, a curse seal in the cross was activated, shining a soft silver light. These silver lights make people feel peaceful, and can even get rid of some physical fatigue and restore a small amount of mental power.
"Is this power the legendary power of purification and blessing?"
Zheng Yang held the cross, his heart fluttering.
At this time, under the action of silver light, the surface of the cross was gradually refurbished, the traces of corrosion were erased, and the whole body showed a simple silvery white color.
After Zheng Yang waited for its changes to stabilize, he revoked the psionic power, and the cross did not become dark again. With the help of psionic energy, it has been washed away and restored to its original appearance.
This is a silver cross.
Thanks to the protection of the curse seal, the silver cross has been corroded for countless years, but its essence remains unchanged.
"This sacred object came too timely. When you go out and want to lure monsters, you can send it back to the ship; when you don't want to be targeted by evil spirits, you can take it with you!"
"It should have a name, shouldn't it be called—Father's Cross?"
Zheng Yang played with it for a while, and Luo Funi called to ask him about the adventure.
Zheng Yang explained the process in detail, omitting the fact that he used the boat spirit to swallow the giant double-headed poisonous python and the profit cross, and only said that the poisonous python had been beheaded.
Luo Funi was silent for a while after listening, just when Zheng Yang thought she had put down the phone, she asked a few details dignifiedly, and then asked Zheng Yang to go back to the Special Affairs Bureau tomorrow and have someone record it in a file and report it .
She attaches great importance to that enchanted space. If it is really the habitat of an army of undead, the Special Affairs Bureau must formulate a corresponding plan.
Just as the big lover's phone call ended, the little lover also called. At this time, she should have just finished dinner.
With a smile on Zheng Yang's face, he answered the phone again.
"Zheng Yang, guess what we had for dinner tonight?"
Hearing Eva's tone, Zheng Yang could imagine a sweet smile on her face waiting for his guess.
"Gouda with potatoes?"
"wrong!"
"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
"wrong!"
"I can't figure it out!"
"Hee hee~ Guess again..."
…
Zheng Yang chatted with Eva while preparing dinner for himself.
Tonight is the first evolution of the spirit ship, so of course we have to have a good meal to celebrate.
As for the place of evolution, Zheng Yang still chose the small bay during the last renovation, just under that section of mountains.
There is no pier there, and there is no fishing village by the sea, so there is no need to worry about someone seeing the vision of the evolution of the spirit ship.
Moreover, Zheng Yang also ordered some auxiliary things...
