Chapter 142: Crossing the Lake

Lu Yi led everyone to hand over the gold and boarded the largest official ship, and the people who boarded the ship for the first time were like curious babies, looking around, looking here and there, it was very fresh. I have to say that this official ship is still built at a very high level, and the entire official ship is made of third-order materials. The hull is made of thousand-year-old black cypress, which is characterized by oiliness, strong waterproofness, light weight and good buoyancy. The hull is covered with a thick layer of black iron and silver synthetic metal materials, which are rust-proof and impact-resistant, and the bow and stern are each equipped with two anchor guns, and the huge flying anchor is two feet and four feet long, with adult thighs thick, and the front end is a three-pronged anchor hook, which is extremely sharp and can easily penetrate the body of a third-order demon beast. The cabins are divided into three levels, the lowest floor is where the sailors control the official ship, the second floor is 300 rooms for guests to rest, and the third floor is a hall for people to eat and entertain. Each of the three mainmasts is as thick as three people hugging each other, and on them hang sails made of black tarpaulin, and the sails are engraved with a formation to bless speed. There are also a lot of defensive arrays engraved on the entire hull, and there are hundreds of soldiers stationed in the garrison, and there are also three third-order monks and twenty second-order monks, and the defense force is not strong.

Such a large official ship can carry 1,000 people, every day from the twilight city and the ferry port, because the twilight city is far away in the middle of Luoyang Lake, more than 6,000 miles away from the shore of the lake, the official ship needs to sail for four days and three nights to arrive, for this official ship is also equipped with food and entertainment facilities for people to relieve boredom. After Lu Yi and the others boarded the ship for half an hour, the entire official ship was basically full, and the guests on these boats were basically ordinary people, as well as some low-level monks of the first and second order, after all, monks above the third order would not care about a low-grade spirit stone except for those like Lu Yi and others who took a boat to try it, and basically rented a flying mount to go to Dusk City, only these ordinary people and low-level monks were not easy to survive, and they would not be so extravagant that they would spend spirit stones casually.

"Toot-toot-toot!" Three horns sounded, and a group of monks came from the town, led by three mid-third-order monks, followed by twenty second-order monks, thinking that this was the monks' escort of this ship. When they boarded the ship, the ship swayed lightly and set sail.

The big boat slowly sailed out of the ferry and began to accelerate gradually, Lu Yi and others curiously lay on the side of the boat and looked down, only to see that the lake water had slowly changed color from the clear bottom, the color of the lake water became darker and darker, and gradually turned into dark green, the underwater situation was no longer visible, Lu Yi released his spiritual power, and he could only reach a distance of hundreds of zhang underwater. From time to time, small fish jump out of the water, and there are many water birds in the sky, constantly shooting into the water to prey on fish and shrimp. Soon, everyone could not see the land, and the ferry had disappeared into the sky, at this time, a third-order monk walked to a main mast on the deck, took out a lower grade spirit stone, and embedded it in the mast, a flash of spiritual light, the sail on the mast slowly rose, and the magic circle on it also operated, and the speed of the big ship instantly increased by more than 10%.

A few hours passed, and the other two sails of the big ship were all raised, and now the speed of the big ship had reached its maximum, and as the big ship went deeper, the wind and waves in the lake gradually increased, but the big ship was still very stable, without the slightest turbulence. Now on both sides of the ship, there are ten soldiers standing on each side, and low-level demon beasts have begun to appear in the water, and the water birds in the sky have gradually disappeared. The first day of the voyage was very smooth, Lu Yi and the others basically spent the day on the deck, and even at night, everyone did not miss the opportunity to admire the moon on the water, and stayed until the second half of the night before returning to the guest room to rest.

When everyone got up early the next morning to watch the sunrise, Lu Yi keenly found that the guards on the deck had increased, not only soldiers, but also a few more second-order monks, and their spirits were very nervous. Lu Yi released his spiritual power to investigate, and sure enough, he found that there were a lot of demon beasts hidden in the water, but the level was not very high, most of them were second-order demon beasts, and occasionally third-order demon beasts were also in deep water, thinking that higher-order demon beasts should be in deeper water. In the evening, Lu Yi found that the number of soldiers on the deck had increased to fifty, and the number of second-order monks had also increased to ten, and it seemed that this night should be the most dangerous night on this water trip. Before going to bed, Lu Yi told everyone to be smart at night, after all, everyone is sailing for the first time, and once they encounter a situation, they will definitely not be as comfortable as on land, and he has not slept all night, practicing fingering, while always paying attention to the movements around the big ship.

This night was still peaceful, when a round of red sun hung high in the sky, Lu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he is not so unlucky, although he is also a little hopeful that something will happen in his heart, but for the sake of everyone, it is still important to be safe. Lu Yi was in a reverie when he suddenly heard an exclamation from the side of the boat opposite: "Big fish! look! Lu Yi heard that he hurriedly looked to the opposite side, only to see that on the water surface a hundred zhang away from the official ship, a fish's back was exposed, the cyan fish's back was more than one zhang wide, covered with watermelon-sized scales, this thing body does not know how big, only the part that exposed the water surface is about ten zhang long, and there is a fish's dorsal fin on it, the bony dorsal fin is the size of a small table, and the four bone spurs are upside down on the fish's back like a spear, and there is a transparent membrane between the bone spurs to connect the four bone spurs into one. After the back of the fish floated on the surface of the water for a few breaths, it sank into the water suddenly, and then a huge tail exposed the water, and slapped suddenly, causing a splash dozens of feet high, and the next moment, the giant fish disappeared without a trace.

This scene couldn't help but remind Lu Yi of what Jin Dongzi had said back then, "If you can go up the mountain, don't go to the sea!" At that time, Jin Dongzi's explanation was that he would rather enter the night mountain forest to experience than go to the Chaos Sea, because the demon beasts in the Chaos Sea are far from being comparable to the demon beasts on land in terms of number and size. Seeing it today, Lu Yi really understood the meaning of Jin Dongzi's words, this is just a small Luoyang Lake, there are such huge demon beasts, if it is in the boundless chaotic sea, I don't know what terrifying existence will survive.
