Chapter 634: Ndipaya Ancient Herb Concoction: Tigfog
The river’s flow stemmed from the Kijuju Marshland, but due to the current dry season, the water level wasn’t plentiful at all
Nevertheless, due to topographical reasons, the flow of the river was overwhelround river inclined doards and poured down from elevated precipices, where the rocks derind one’s bones to dust Massive fogs ofa faint piercing sensation in one’s nose Evidently, the mist contained toxic essences
Naturally to ordinary folk, a steep upsloping precipice was akin to a heavenly moat Even a special expedition team in the real world inevitably required the assistance of various tools to be capable of scaling the current Moreover, it would definitely take a great deal of time
On the contrary, in Sheyan’s perspective, soth multiplied manifold that of ordinary humans, who also possesses the unrivalled title of ‘Pirate Captain’, it was absolutely impossible for the torrential currents and the treacherous upslope terrain to impede his advance
With his current extent of powers, a heavenly moat was simply a casual joke
At present, though he was only left with 10 plus hours of the free deadline, Sheyan’s fighting spirit was instead burning vigorously His was confidence attributed to Little Lord Fokke’s success, that if Little Lord Fokke was capable of acquiring the ‘Stairway of the Sun’, he too would be capable of that
Following that, the arduous process of scaling against the current naturally didn’t require further explanation To Sheyan’s surprise, for so him
One must understand, Sheyan could effortlessly breathe underwater for over half an hour, but Mbenga couldn’t This i if he continued advancing
They first swaed, and because they also needed to clia to his back with a rope before proceeding
Even though Sheyan did his uth that river course in the shortest tia had still fainted froa persisted unyieldingly in acco Sheyan
”I hear whispers fro deeper For this, I a to pay all it takes!”
Mbenga declared this with exceptional sincerity, thus, Sheyan could only respect his aspiration
5 hours of scaling later, at the distant head of this underground river, Sheyan could finally behold a ray of light right ahead!
After swi up vast stretches of craggy subterranean ground, Sheyan could finally behold the breathtaking sunlight
Without a doubt, that was their destination, the core reaches of the Kijuju Marshland
To arrive here through ordinary ers and difficulties one would have to face; nues, covered with countless corpses and souls Yet through this rapid underground river, though the journey was filled with hardshi+ps and perils, it only required a few hours
Before arriving at the exit, Sheyan once again discovered another stone platfore oddities placed atop it
Hurrying his footsteps over for a look, Sheyan ientle pinch would suffice to grind those mouldy linens to dust
Evidently, upon reaching this spot a decade plus ago, Little Lord Fokke had ordered his subordinates to strip off their clothes
This was undoubtedly a rather suspicious aze in surveillance, he caught gl
i wooden planks Those wooden planks had rotted to a stage where a trifling finger could splinter it into dregs
Relying on his perception and experience, Sheyan successfully squeezed out the knowledge he needed above these wooden planks from his mind He deciphered, their shapes revealed they were part of commonplace wooden casks on board shi+ps Such wooden casks could be used for sees, washi+ng face or legs, urine potty, or protection during battles Further lids to it and attaching two to the waist would transform it into a life buoy
Sheyan strolled over before stroking his finger along one of the cask planks After wiping away the layer of dust and rotten splints of wood, a peculiar sensation feedbacked up his finger; rese that of solidified candle wax Sheyan then scooped water and rinsed it over
Instantaneously, a think layer of light yellow substance was revealed The substance adhered tightly to the rock, and Sheyan had to scrape soers Then, he swiftly tasted with his tongue, allowing him to immediately identify it
This substance was a necessity for shi+ps of this era With an illustrious reputation, it was called the devil’s oil
Actually, it was simply blubber boiled ood and li pirates, merchants or the navy
During naval wars, it could be utilized as fla cracks on the shi+p Furtherascar, it could be used as a preservation fro In any shi+p, one could frequently see casks of this blubber wax
Sheyan squatted for a good long while to observe He could differentiate out withered vines trapped within the solidified blubber If not for being coated in the blubber, through the years of flushi+ng water and o
The bifurcation characteristics of these vines were relatively distinct, after coetation he pulled froe, Sheyan could tell they were the same variation
Sheyan shut his eyes and pondered…
”Over a decade ago, gasping for breath and air, Little Lord Fokke’s group had ascended to this precipice platfor their skinny, bony and filthy bodies Producing a wooden cask of blubber, they setations with devil’s oil”
