Seeing the water under the cliff, a glimmer of hope appeared in Xia Wei's heart.

This water was not accumulated at the bottom of the cliff, which meant that there must be another place to go.

There were two possibilities. Either there were more cliffs under this cliff, causing the water to overflow, or there was a passageway to other places in the distance that could let him leave this place.

If he could cross that huge waterfall and reach the bottom of the cliff, he might be able to find the direction to leave with the water.

These two possibilities showed that there was a 50% chance that he could leave, and the other half was that he would die.

Xia Wei chose to try without hesitation. Instead of being trapped in this place, he might as well take a gamble. If he lost, he would die. Anyway, it was not like he had never died before.

Xia Wei told the village chief his thoughts. The village chief was not surprised at all when he heard Xia Wei's words. It was as if he had long expected Xia Wei to leave forcefully.

After a long silence, the village chief sighed deeply. "Actually, I won't hide it from you. Over the years, someone has thought of this method, and we were once only a step away from success.

We produce iron ore here. Back then, a village chief went out and got someone to forge iron into an extremely long root pillar. One side was fixed to the cliff, and the other extended to the waterfall.

However, it didn't succeed. There are still mechanisms left behind back then."

People were always restless and not satisfied with the current situation. For thousands of years, this family had been thriving here.

Most people were already used to such a life, but there were always some people who had all sorts of imaginations about the outside world beyond this small valley.

Everyone tried all sorts of methods to get out of the sky, water, and mountains, but no one had ever left this place.

It was as if this place had been cursed. The entire village was surrounded by a special barrier, turning this place into a paradise that stood aloof from the world. It was also an invisible cage.

Hearing the village chief's words, the hope that had risen in Xia Wei's heart decreased a little. However, he still did not want to give up. "Can you bring me over to take a look? Do you still have those mechanism diagrams?"

"Yes." Since Xia Wei wanted to see it, the village chief moved all the relevant information to Xia Wei.

After countless experiments by the predecessors, they realized that the water by the cliff was different from the ordinary water in the river in the village. The predecessors realized that the closer they were to the cliff, the stronger the corrosiveness of the water.

This was why so many people tried to approach and sank in the water.

In the experience manuals that had been accumulated by ancestors with their blood and lives, one could see that there were many mountains around the village. There was a special ore in the mountains. This ore contained a substance that could resist corrosion in the water.

Previously, a village chief had tried to build a ship with the ores in the mountains to the edge of the cliff.

However, over the years, so many clansmen had died on the cliff, and the clansmen had become more and more resistant to this matter. Back then, the village chief's actions had also been resisted by many clansmen.

However, the village chief insisted and brought the homemade boat into the cliff.

At that time, the current village chief was still a child. He had seen the village chief row the boat back then and approach the edge of the cliff step by step.

The corrosion in the water had been removed, but the former village chief did not expect the water to be too fierce. It disrupted his footsteps and pushed him towards the edge of the cliff.

In fact, at that time, if someone could help pull it from behind, perhaps the ship would not lose control and slide down the cliff. However, at that time, the cliff was classified as a forbidden area in the family. In such a huge place, other than the current village chief, who was hiding in the mountains and peeping, there was no one else.

The current village chief also wanted to try to save him, but he was still a child at that time and could not approach the previous village chief at all.

By the time he ran back to the village and called the adults over, the rapid water had already swallowed the previous village chief, leaving not even a trace.

From then on, this matter became a taboo in the family. However, as the current patriarch who had experienced it personally back then, he recorded this matter.

After Xia Wei flipped through all the information, he felt that this method was more and more feasible. He pulled up his sleeves slightly. "Listen to my orders."

Seeing the golden dragon in Xia Wei's hand, the village chief immediately knelt down in front of him.

"Do your best to complete this mechanism and send me out of this place."

"Yes." The village chief was uneasy, but he still bowed respectfully.

With Xia Wei's order, the entire village began to dig iron ores and iron-refining mechanisms day and night again.

The once calm village was now filled with the sound of iron being refined at all times.

Xi Yue handed Xia Wei the flowers she had picked from outside. "Here."

Xia Wei reached out to take it and smiled at Xi Yue. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xi Yue was stunned by Xia Wei's smile. She looked at Xia Wei in embarrassment. "Are you married?"historical

Xia Wei shook his head. "No, I still have relatives I haven't found. How can I get married?"

Back then, Xia Wanyuan had promised him that on the day of his marriage, Xia Wanyuan would be his witness. However, later on, Xia Wanyuan had left suddenly, and Xia Wei had never been able to accept this blow, so the harem was empty.

Hearing Xia Wei's answer, Xi Yue's eyes lit up. "Then what do you think of me??"

Xi Yue was very beautiful. After living in such a simple environment for a long time, she was as fresh and natural as her name.

Xia Wei did not hate her. He smiled at Xi Yue. "We're not suitable."

"Why??" Xi Yue turned to look into Xia Wei's eyes. "Do you think I'm not good-looking?"

"No."

"Then why?" Xi Yue was a person who would get to the bottom of things. Now, she looked like she would pester Xia Wei every day if he did not tell her the answer.

Xia Wei looked into the distance. "I won't stay here."

"Then I'll go out with you," Xi Yue blurted out. Sensing Xia Wei's gaze, Xi Yue patted her chest. "Really, I've always wanted to go out and take a look."

Xia Wei smiled but did not speak.

At this moment, a loud bang came from not far away, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. Xia Wei narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

The mechanism was done.

Xia Wei stood up and walked over. The village chief welcomed him. "We've already prepared what you need and the sails. Are you sure you want to leave now?"

"Yes." Xia Wei nodded. "Let's start now."

He could not wait to see what the world was like.
