113: Volcano of the Sea
Sorry, it's only updated now. Because of the year-end cleaning, I was busy all day today......
——————
Maybe it's because if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future. Or maybe it's the calm before the storm. All in all, the sea has been calm for the next two days, and there has been no more chaos. As a result, the Fuso ship was safe and sound, and continued to sail to the northeast.
On the third day, the ship suddenly turned due north. Due to the tailwind, the sailing speed has increased by at least three times compared to before. Standing on the bow of the ship, he looked down, but saw that the ship broke through the waves, drawing a straight white line on the surface of the sea. Its momentum outpaced that of a galloping horse.
Around noon, the surroundings suddenly changed again. But I saw that the sea surface was southeast, northwest, and everywhere, loaded with heavy loads and floats, all of which were icebergs. The temperature also plummeted. Even if a master of the level of Xi Yinchun and Hu Yuji has achieved success in cultivating early, under normal circumstances, they are not afraid of cold and heat, but they are forced to add two clothes.
As for Le Dashao, he was already fat. At this time, with the addition of several cotton furs, it has changed even more into a round ball, and it is almost impossible to see that there is a person.
Ishida Saburo has a noble status, but he wears a snow-white fox fur fur. The whole person stood there, dressed in powder, like a brocade pavilion and jade tree, with its own wealth and elegance.
Among the crowd, only Cheng Li was still dressed as usual. As a Second Awakened Robber, his physical fitness is better than that of everyone on the ship combined. Not to mention the sea full of icebergs, even if he walks alone in the South Pole or the North Pole, he will act as usual and will not be affected by the cold at all.
There is a proverb called "the tip of the iceberg". This means that the iceberg is extremely large. The part that can be seen on the surface is less than one-tenth of the total volume of the iceberg. Therefore, if the ship sails between the icebergs, if you are not careful, you will hit the underwater part of the iceberg, and the ship will be destroyed and killed.
So at this point, the speed of the ship was forced to slow down again. I can only cautiously, little by little, try to pass between the icebergs.
While enjoying the familiar taste of the cold wind blowing on his face, Cheng Li asked Hu Yuji, "Didn't you say that you can reach the Haijin Grottoes today?
Hu Yuji said: "It's coming soon." These icebergs are all located on the periphery of the Pinjin Cave. As long as we pass through them, we will be able to reach the Pinjin Cave by midnight at the latest. ”
Xi Yinchun exclaimed: "It's really unexpected that the Sea Gold Grotto is hidden in the depths of these icebergs. It is important to know that icebergs are alive and constantly moving with the currents of the sea. Unless someone leads the way, any uninvited ship that dares to invade this area seems to have the only option of hitting an iceberg and sinking to the bottom of the sea. ”
Hu Yuji smiled and said, "It's too early to start marveling now." I promise you, as long as you have the life to step into the real gold cave, you will be amazed until you are completely numb. ”
Facts have proved that Hu Yuji's words are not exaggerated at all. At dusk, the icebergs on the sea surface become thin. In the distance, a glimmer of land shadow appeared at sea level.
But suddenly, I heard a huge earthquake erupting like the sky was cracking. Immediately afterward, I saw a huge black smoke rising into the sky, mixed with billowing fire. At first glance, it was shocking.
Everyone stood on the deck and looked up. It was the first time in his life that Le Dashao had seen such a spectacle. He couldn't help but say with a look of surprise: "Isn't that the Golden Cave on the sea? But how can there be such a huge pillar of fire? Could it be that someone over there is setting fire to the mountain? Or ...... Did you encounter an enemy in the Golden Cave?"
Hu Yuji glanced at him lightly and didn't say anything. Leng Yuxiang sneered: "It's really uninformed. Fuss. ”
was still on Hu Yuji's ship before, of course Le Dashao had to give some face. No matter how Leng Yuxiang treated himself, he would only laugh at it. But this time and that time. Now that everyone is on someone else's boat, Le Dashao naturally refuses to accommodate Leng Yuxiang anymore.
His eyes widened, and he was about to get angry. Ishida Saburo next to him spoke in time and said, "Mr. Le must have never been to our Fuso." If you've been, then you'll know that it's nothing more than a volcanic eruption, and there's nothing to make a fuss about. ”
Le Dashao said curiously: "Volcano? What is a volcano? Why does it breathe smoke and fire?"
This is not an easy question to answer. Ishida Saburo has never thought about this problem, but it is commonplace since he was a child, but if he seriously investigates it, he must ask why, Ishida Saburo suddenly found that he didn't know more than Le Dashao.
Cheng Li said lightly: "In the depths of the earth, there is an infinite amount of fire magma. These earth-fire magma needs to be ejected from the ground at regular intervals, just as humans need to breathe, otherwise they will cause very serious disasters. Where the earth-fire magma erupts from the ground, it is a volcano. That's why volcanoes are also called 'lungs'. ”
Everyone suddenly heard in unison and praised each other.
After another moment, the ship was closer to the volcano. As far as the eye could see, it turned out to be a huge island. In the center of the island is a towering mountain, and at the top of the peak, billowing black smoke and flames are constantly spewing out.
With this peak as the boundary, the east side of the island is full of rocky peaks, strange shapes, inexplicable. It is lava from volcanic eruptions, which has been accumulated over thousands of years.
On the west side of the island, there is a plain with no end in sight. But it is the accumulation of countless volcanic ash over thousands of years. Volcanic ash is rich in nutrients. Therefore, the plains are extremely green, and all of them are tall and abnormal, regardless of the pines and cypresses. There are also all kinds of exotic flowers and trees, all of which are not found in Middle-earth.
Le Dashao seemed to have his eyes straightened. He let out a long breath and sighed, "It turns out that this is the Golden Cave on the Sea. What a place, what a place. This scenery alone is unparalleled in the world. Even if you say a word about overseas fairy mountains, it is not an exaggeration. ”
Saburo Ishida also sighed, "In Fuso, there are many volcanoes, and it is not unusual. But such a beautiful scenery is really not available in Fuso. The beautiful scenery in front of me alone is already worth the trip. ”
While speaking, the samurai Miyamoto Takibei, who was standing next to Saburo Ishida, suddenly reached into his arms and took out a rocket. He lit it with a flint knife and threw it into the sky. I only heard the sharp sound of "咒~" breaking through the air, and the rocket rushed straight into the sky, and then "呯~" scattered and exploded, forming a huge money pattern.
Not long after, a small boat left the volcanic island and drifted towards the sea boat on which everyone was riding. When you get close, everyone can see it clearly. There were five people on board. All of them wore some kind of snow-white clothes with a strange style, but they looked quite solemn.
Three of the men were sitting, with oars in their hands, apparently boatmen. The other two women stood side by side in the bow of the boat, both of whom looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and all of them looked exactly the same, regardless of their appearance and figure. When he laughs, he reveals sweet little dimples. The only difference is that one person has a dimple on the left and the other has a dimple on the right.
The boat was still about three feet away from the big ship, and then it stopped moving forward. The two girls looked up at the same time and smiled sweetly, and said in unison: "But is Fuso Ishida Gongzi's boat?"
Ishida Saburo took a few steps forward, pressed his hands on the side of the boat, and smiled, "I am Ishida Saburo." ”
The two girls said happily: "The master of the Golden Cave on the sea is a maidservant and welcomes Ishida's son." Ishida, please come aboard, our master has already set up a feast on the island, waiting for the big driver. ”
