The vast river roared, black water surged.
Snow fell on the river, instantly melting... These pale snowflakes were like falling into an ink pond.
Gu Shen silently watched the riverbank beside him. The flow of this black water wasn't intimidating, on the contrary, it was so tranquil that it evoked no sense of "danger awareness" at all...
This great river was not turbulent.
Like a dead lake.
Wherever one went, what they saw was a scene of Silent Annihilation—rugged stones along the banks, an endless expanse of black water in the distance, as if it connected with Skytop itself, with no end in sight.
In the previous punitive mission, it was said that the Third Legion attempted to cross this river, taking several hours, as the Duolu River seemed to absorb Extraordinary Essence. Once an airship approached, it was dragged down by the river's attraction. To resist it required consuming a large amount of fuel, greatly reducing travel speed.
