Volume 1: The Storm of the Sea Chapter 65 Where the Molten Fire Goes
Strange to say, the weather at sea is getting stranger and stranger.
The rainstorms were also intermittent, with longer and longer intervals, and this is the third day of this interval.
After 16 days at sea, there was nothing left of food and water left on the island. The two mussel shells live up to expectations, and they can condense fresh water when raised in seawater, and by the way, they will also precipitate the salt of seawater.
The salt content in the seawater is more than that of the original island spring water, and the mussel shells are not used, and most of them are condensed into small crystals.
As it happens, these sea salts are no longer impurities, and can be used as a good condiment to marinate the fish and reduce the chance of spoilage.
To be honest, it's not easy to get some fish in this vast sea. You don't have to be at the beach in the ocean, and fishing in the sea is not shown. And the people's tools are really poor, so they can only stop and fish with a small boom, and the harvest is very pitiful.
However, there was still no shortage of fish in this sea, and it took a long time for everyone to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the sea after encountering a school of fish and imprisoning a small part of them with runes by Bourcho.
There were a lot of fish caught, and I couldn't finish eating them, so I just took the sea salt accumulated in those days to marinate them.
Others who are alone on the sea may be worried about the water and avoid eating these salty things, but for those who have two mussel shells, there will be no shortage of water.
"In the past few days, the red light of the molten core has become more and more obvious, and even during the day, it is a little bright. ”
Standing at the bow of the ship, activating the core of the molten fire, and maneuvering the ark forward, Viscount Eric was a little worried that danger was coming.
"I'm a little worried, since the Storm Apostles have already walked the oceans, our destination is definitely the Storm Lord's minions. ”
Wandering through this sea, there are traces left by the servants of the Lord of the Storm.
Whether it's the Storm Apostle on the reef island, or the Fusion Fishman after coming out of the lava cavern, or the Ruins Island that caused everyone a lot of losses before, or even the chaos that began between the big octopus and the fleet, it could be the work of the Storm Lord and his minions.
"If we're out of their sight, we might be able to rest easy. But if that octopus is also their eyeliner and finds us, then ...... Alas. ”
Viscount Eric sighed, everyone's situation at this time was really not good. Threats lurk around the right and left, and unknown wind risks await.
"Lord Viscount, no matter how slim the road ahead is, we have to go. What's more, we made a lot of noise on that island, and it was even more upset afterwards. Even if the octopus is their minions, it won't be difficult to find us."
Bourgeo, who was really injecting energy into the Ark, opened his mouth and said, not that he wasn't worried, but that he felt that the viscount was always so worried that the burden was too great, and he needed to relax a little.
"You can say that, but things have to be thought of for the worse. We don't have any power that we can borrow now, and we can say that all the accidents we use are against us. ”
Eric shook his head, a deep sense of unease. Five people are too small on this vast sea, even with one more ship.
Compared with tens of thousands of enemies, how to deal with it is a dead end.
"If we survive, or even go back, do you want to go again, Bourcho?"
It seems that he realizes that his mood is a little gloomy, and his words are also a little negative. Still, Eric intends to lighten the mood and envision the future.
"Well, what else can I do. But I have the ability, and it's much better for me to go on a mission than those gods, at least I have the real material. ”
Bourcho quipped that he had always been dissatisfied with the existing religion of the Empire. Perhaps the faith of the church is too ethereal, or perhaps the current church organization has lost its original purpose and has become different.
For Bourcho now, he already felt the presence of the gods, and if he were to preside over the religion himself, it would be another matter.
"However, my ability is limited, and if I really want to fight with that group of people, I guess I will have to be burned at the stake. If there really is, I might as well be an internal affairs officer for the viscount, and if you can go back this time, your reward will definitely be indispensable. ”
Jokes aside, he is still self-aware, the power of the church is intertwined, even the emperor can't move, he hasn't been able to do it to this extent.
"And what about you, Lord Viscount?"
"If I can really go back, if I can get a fief, then I would rather die in the territory than take another step. The struggle for power is so dirty, and I still have my family......"
Speaking of his family, Eric's heart was touched. His marriage came late but happily, and his children were only six years old. Thinking of the child's gaze, his voice was a little choked, and he couldn't say much.
"I don't know what happened to them......"
"Well, I envy you, Lord Viscount, I'm still a bachelor, nothing. ”
Bourcho interrupted Viscount Eric's exclamation, which could be regarded as stopping his grief.
"If there is a day when the seal is divided, it is not impossible for you to come and be my butler. ”
With a sigh of relief, Eric's mood was not so heavy, and he agreed half-jokingly, half-promised.
The sea breeze still moans in the distance, and unknown suffering spreads in the depths of the ocean.
Another three days have passed, and the torrential rain has already arrived.
A curtain of rain covered the entire ocean, and the rain hit the surface of the sea, and a rain mist appeared on the surface of the sea.
"It's weather like this, and it always reminds me of the destruction of the fleet, and the dreams that drove everyone into madness. ”
Months had passed, but Eric still remembered the scene vividly. That was the initial fear, that was the confrontation and crushing of the mortal and the transcendent.
"The red glow of the Molten Core has reached its limit, and it looks like the entrance to the Lava Lands is extremely close to us. ”
"Lord Viscount, this rain and fog have greatly affected our vision. In a while, we are afraid that we will not be able to find the location of the island. ”
Looking at the mist in the sky, Bourcho frowned, the environment was too harsh, and it seriously affected everyone's vision.
"Be patient, although I don't know if the rain will stop, but our search is still meticulous. ”
"That's nature, Lord Viscount. I'm also using my abilities to explore the surrounding environment, but I haven't encountered an island yet. ”
Bourcho was not rough in his work, and he began to work long before Viscount Eric commanded. It's just that the current environment and the recent situation are too bad, so he can't help but sigh.
"I heard that it's already a vicissitudes of life, so this passage must have been buried at the bottom of the sea......
"Tantalus is the guardian of the prison, and he doesn't even know about these things, no matter what. ”
Eric was worried in his heart, this matter was too important, and it basically decided the life and death of everyone. In case of an accident, then everyone will not only waste their strength in vain, but even their lives will be difficult to save.
"However, Aretz has not recovered yet, his injuries are serious, but how many days have passed. ”
Eric glanced at Alez, who was lying sideways, and the worry on his face could not be concealed.
"No, Lord Viscount, he had suddenly woken up a day ago, shouted and fell back into a deep sleep. This is the third time this has happened. ”
Alez's physical injuries were much better, but his mental injuries seemed to have been hurt a lot. Even if the body was repaired under the maintenance of his own extraordinary strength, he still fell asleep.
"It doesn't look too bad, but I just can't wake up......"
Shaking his head, Aretz was in poor shape. However, since the body can barely maintain a relatively healthy state, the chances of reawakening are much greater.
Eric continues to drive the ark and begins his wandering in the seas, where he must find the entrance to the lava land.
In the afternoon, the rainstorm was slightly reduced, and the rain and fog dispersed a lot. As far as the eye can see, in the distance, a huge island emerges in front of you.
"It's here!"
The core of the molten flame glowed in Eric's hand, and a fiery red light shot out and turned into countless lines in mid-air.
The lines intertwine and twist to create a three-dimensional image of the island. On the three-dimensional map, a little crimson light appeared, and that was the location of the entrance to the lava field.
"Everyone pay attention to vigilance, at this point, even if we want to back down, there is no chance to come back. Whether there are or not, how many enemies there are, be careful. ”
"Yes!
Although the island is still some distance away, it will not take much time to reach the island with the Ark operating at full capacity.
In just half a day, the group came to this island, and as soon as they stepped on this small island, a hot breath rippled from the beach.
On closer inspection, the beach is pitch black, mostly formed by volcanic rock fragmentation. No matter how you look at it, it's very likely that this is a lava land.
"Tsk, it's a lava land, and even this island in the ocean has such a hot smell that even I feel a little palpitation. ”
Knox has mastered the power of fire and is particularly sensitive to changes in temperature. The power of the flames beneath this island was so majestic that even he was amazed.
"Well, this is the entrance to the lava land. ”
"I guess, if none of this power can be the power of the seal, then I can't think of anything stronger than this. ”
Knox replied in the affirmative, the power of the flame was too powerful.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing wrong with that. Now that I'm in the right direction and the entrance to the island, my previous worries are unfounded. ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Eric was relieved.
"Very well, Zelin, you stay and look after Alez. Let's go with me, let's go and explore the mysteries of this island!"
The stakes are still high, but there is no way back.
