【Chapter 259】 A trip to Kenting
The target of the trip was the Spratly Islands, the southernmost tip of the South China Sea. Starting from the Zhoushan Islands, it has been going south, passing through Wujiang Province and entering the Taiwan Strait between Minjian Province and Taiwan Island, which can be regarded as truly entering the South China Sea from the East China Sea.
It lasted three days and three nights, not that Lu Zheng's speed was not fast enough, but that he stopped and walked along the way, paying great attention to the various conditions in the sea area he passed, and carefully investigating anything worth noting.
Minjian Province and Taiwan Island face each other across the sea, and after passing through the three major islands of Laiyu Islands, Penghu Islands, and South Peng Islands, Lu Zheng finally arrived at the first stop, Taiwan Island Shoal.
Under the rolling waves of the Taiwan Strait, there is a shoal connecting Dongshan Island and the western part of Taiwan Island, which is scientifically known as the Strait Land Bridge or Dongshan Land Bridge.
It is called a shoal, so the water depth is very shallow, and the deepest place is only fifty or sixty meters. In the shallowest place, Lu Zheng's dragon tail can stay on the bottom of the sea, and most of the dragon's body can climb on the bedrock protruding from the sea surface.
The shallows are made of coarse sand, fine sand, and gravel, and the water is covered with dunes and depressions. The reason why I chose to stay again is because there are also a lot of corals in the shallows of Taiwan Island, and it is the confluence area of the three main currents along the coast of China, such as the cold current, the monsoon stream and the Dongying Black Current.
There is also one of the most anticipated marine animals here, the dolphin.
It's just that Lu Zheng came at a bad time, and the dolphins only appear in groups in this sea area from December to March of the following year, chasing fishing boats and juggling into the water, the scene is spectacular.
Dolphins are active in tropical waters. Lu Zheng has not seen one in the East China Sea for more than half a month, which shows that its number is indeed very rare in the East China Sea.
However, Lu Zheng was not discouraged in the slightest, because the Nansha Islands are near the tropical sea. As long as you arrive at the Nansha Islands, you don't have to worry about seeing smart and clever dolphins.
The shallow waters of Taiwan Island are shallow and sunny, and there are a variety of corals and rare fish under the sea. Here, Lu Zheng can really feel the gorgeous sea view on TV.
The gravel on the seabed is old and the most crystal clear. The crisp and clean shell sand, washed by thousands of years of waves, the edges and corners are polished very smooth, and a handful flows freely from the fingertips. There are often one or two small shells left in the palm of his hand, and the feeling of rubbing makes Lu Zheng feel intoxicated.
The sky is blue, the sea is blue, and the sun shines on all kinds of corals, and there is an indescribable beauty.
There's just a problem. made Lu Zheng very entangled. That is, his thirty-meter-long dragon body, which can barely be spread out at a depth of fifty or sixty meters, but at a depth of only seven or eight meters, inadvertently, either the head is exposed or the tail is exposed.
The feeling of being trapped in the shallows is very unpleasant.
Even one evening, when Lu Zheng was observing the coral reef, he casually wagged his tail and overturned a fishing boat, and the fisherman's frightened urine came out.
In the spirit of work and entertainment. Since passing by the legendary Taiwan Island, Lu Zheng decided to go ashore and take auspiciousness to see the scenery of Taiwan Island, and by the way, take a look at the legendary Taiwan sister.
The landing place is Kenting, a famous seascape holy place known as the end of the world on Taiwan Island. Kenting, located in Pingtung County, Taiwan Island, is bordered by the Pacific Ocean in the east, the Taiwan Island Strait in the west, and the Bashi Strait in the south, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with coral reefs as the main geology, beach shells, collapses, sand waterfalls, and tropical rainforest plants and a wide variety of migratory birds.
With auspiciousness, he carefully led the way to the customs of Kenting. I tried the local Yipin lo-mei, crispy soup dumplings, duck winter noodles and other special snacks.
As a goddess-level beauty, Jixiang is very eye-catching everywhere she goes. Lu Zheng took Jixiang to walk around Kenting for an afternoon, only to find that the legendary Taiwanese sister was overshadowed in front of Jixiang.
It was nearly noon. Take advantage of the sunny day. With Jixiang came to Baisha Beach and took a walk on the beach, Lu Zheng suddenly asked, "Jixiang, do you want to go diving?"
For a long time, Jixiang has been a fox fairy, but in fact, his essence is more afraid of water. When Lu Zheng turned into a dragon, she stayed in the Dragon Palace, and she never really swam underwater.
"Hmm......" Ji Xiang Zhiwu said, pursed his red lips and looked at the water, his eyes were full of entanglement: "But I...... I can't swim. ”
Of course, this is not a problem of ability, but a problem of origin, the fox fairy was born on land and grew up on land, it is okay to flutter and flutter in the water, if you really dive into the water, I am afraid it will not be too comfortable.
This situation is like Sun Dasheng can't even beat Monk Sha in the Tongtian River.
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, and a whirlpool longan appeared in the palm of his hand, the whirlpool longan can not only clarify the divine sense and enhance cultivation, but its most unique thing is that it can make people not drown in water.
Jixiang also knew the preciousness of the Xuantan longan, and said: "Brother Zheng, we don't have much longan." I'll leave it to my uncle and aunt, who need this more than I do. ”
The owl, which transformed into a macaw, quipped on the side: "Little fox fairy, you are really self-taught. Before I passed the door, I knew how to please my parents-in-law. ”
"Kill you or not?" Jixiang blushed and flashed his little fist at it.
"Little brother, ahh......hh ”
Pure faith power, and it is also a great tonic for owls. It's just that there are only a dozen treasure trees in the whirlpool, and only seven have produced fruit, except for the one given to the Tang Scarlet carp, the rest add up to less than ten Whirlpool longans.
Of course, parents should reserve a few to come out, and it is quiet.
Lu Zheng took her hand, put the dragon's eye in her palm, blinked and said, "Of course it's not for you, you have to receive some benefits." ”
Jixiang's eyes were shining, he held the dragon eye of Xuantan, kicked the owl away by the way, and then quickly pecked Lu Zheng's lips, and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, Brother Zheng." ”
"Wow!"
The owl that flew back with a dead skin stretched out its beak and said pitifully, "Little brother, I want this seat too." Come on, you can ravage this seat as much as you want. ”
Ji Xiang grabbed the feathers on its ears, flicked its head and said, "If you are here, don't you think a bird swimming in the water will scare people?"
"Could it be? I'm so cute...... Hey, wait a minute, this seat ......."
It was grumbling, and Ji Xiang took Lu Zheng's hand and ran towards the waves in front of him. Standing hand in hand in waist-deep water, Ji Xiang and Lu Zheng glanced at each other and put the whirlpool dragon eye into their mouths.
Crystalline light bloomed from the center of her brow, and then moistened her whole body like a wave. When her eyes slowly opened, her skin seemed to be more supple and smooth, and her eyes were tender and watery.
The owl flying overhead was indignant: "It's not fair. I don't have any bird rights at all. ”
"Next!"
A whirlpool dragon eye appeared in Lu Zheng's palm, and he threw it towards the distant sky.
The owl's eyes lit up, and a swoop over and swallowed it in its mouth, and in the white light it flew high, and then its wings folded, and it fell into the sea like a cannonball, and cried out: "Kang is busy and despicable, come and die dog!"
Ji Xiang chuckled, took Lu Zheng's hand and followed, diving into the azure ocean. (To be continued.) )
