Chapter 776: No Man's Desert Island
Just when Ye Tian was looking at this logbook and was puzzled in his heart, suddenly a big wave hit him, more than ten meters high. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This level of huge waves is very rare, which shows the intensity of the storm this time, and it can be regarded as Ye Tian's luck is too bad.
Under this huge wave more than ten meters high, the three-masted galleon suddenly lifted half of its hull, almost at a right angle of 90 degrees to the sea, which means that the whole ship stood upright on the sea!
In this case, most of the time the boat will capsize, and only with great luck and skillful piloting can you avoid danger and let the hull fall back to the surface.
Ye Tian was alone at this time, and he obviously couldn't save the ship by relying on his piloting skills, so at this critical moment, he rushed out of the cockpit, came to the deck, shouted, and slapped his palms hard at the bow of the ship.
I saw that the hull of the ship was subjected to Ye Tian's majestic palm power like a mountain and a sea, and the thousand-ton galleon immediately shook, the bow of the ship fell downward, and the whole ship fell back to the sea smoothly.
And that's not all, after the ship fell back to the surface, the huge rebound force caused the hull to lift again, and in the huge waves like leaves in the wind, there was a danger of capsizing at any time.
Ye Tian was in a big swing at this time, came to the middle of the hull, stepped on his feet, like the roots of an old tree, and took root on the hull, and then transported the kung fu of the jack pendant, and the force of tens of thousands of catties under his feet stabilized the hull.
Originally, in this kind of strong wind and waves, the ship had to have ballast weights to stabilize the balance of the hull, but the ship's hold was ballast only a few pieces of pig iron, and the weight was not enough, so it was thrown high by the wind and waves.
But under the suppression of Ye Tian's deep internal force, he actually stabilized the hull of the ship, and his strength alone could be compared to hundreds of tons of ballast iron! It can be seen that over the years, Ye Tian's internal strength has made great progress, and if it were three years ago, when he encountered this situation, he could only sit and wait for death.
After finally stabilizing the hull, Ye Tian ran back to the cockpit and readjusted the course, because under the huge wind and waves just now, the direction of the ship had been affected and changed the course.
But when Ye Tian looked at the data on the dashboard, he frowned, he was in a very awkward position now, there were huge storms blocking the way in front and behind, there was a huge storm on the route back to the island was hitting at high speed, if he continued to return, he would face greater wind and waves.
And there is also a huge storm waiting for him on Dongying's side, and he can't go in the direction of Dongying, the only thing he can go to now can only be the northwest and southeast.
But Ye Tian knew that there was an extremely dangerous sea area in the northwest, where there were many undercurrent whirlpools, and all ships would avoid that sea area, which was a forbidden place for navigation and a cemetery for sea ships.
So the only thing he could go to was the southeast, and there was no other choice, Ye Tian adjusted his course, and in the gap between the two big storms, he headed towards the southeast, and now he had to escape from this dangerous sea area as soon as possible, and save the ship first and then think about going back.
Sailing in the gap between two storm belts, the air currents on both sides were very chaotic, he could not use the sails, only relied on machine power, but fortunately, there was enough fuel to sail at sea for more than a month, and he did not have to worry about returning home.
After full power, the three-masted galleon struggled in the storm zone, and it took more than two hours to finally sail out of the terrible storm zone and usher in a sea area with a warm sun.
When he saw the clear sky again, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and Ye Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time he had already deviated from the route of the island for more than forty nautical miles.
At this time, Ye Tian originally planned to anchor here, wait for the storm to pass, and then return to the island, but after thinking about it, the storm didn't know when it would stop, this kind of big storm might last for a week, he couldn't anchor at sea for a week, right?
But where is there a place to go in the nearby seas? At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly remembered the strange nautical chart on the logbook, didn't the map record a mysterious island?
If you look closely at the current coordinates, it is only sixty nautical miles away from that small island! In other words, it will take about ten hours to get there.
Driven by curiosity, Ye Tian decided to find the mysterious island, and after adjusting the route, he entered the automatic cruise system, and he moved a reclining chair and lay on the bow deck and fell asleep, this day was really tired.
I don't know how long I slept this night, but suddenly a cold wind blew, and Ye Tian was full of excitement and woke up suddenly.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the stars in the sky, it was already late at night, Ye Tian rubbed his eyes, got up and saw that the sea was very calm at this time, and the three-masted ship was sailing smoothly.
Walking into the cockpit, Ye Tian got some food, and looked at the nautical instrument while eating, at this time it was already more than two o'clock in the morning of the next day, he actually slept for ten hours, and from the nautical instrument, it was only a two-hour voyage from that mysterious island!
Ye Tian suddenly cheered up, he had slept for ten hours, and he had eaten enough, he couldn't sleep again tonight, he sat on the bow of the boat, holding his glasses, and waited with anticrative expectations for the appearance of the island.
Looking at the calm sea and the stars in the sky, the sea at this time was unusually quiet, only the roar of the engines of the sailboats, and no other sound could be heard.
Ye Tian originally thought that this environment was quite poetic, but after more than half an hour, he felt that something was wrong, because the sea near here was really calm and a little scary, and it stands to reason that the sea should be so gentle.
"The sea is not stagnant water, as long as it is flowing water, it is impossible to be so quiet, what is going on?" Ye Tian frowned, walked to the side of the boat, and looked into the sea.
But the sea was so calm that I didn't see anything.
Nothing? Ye Tian was suddenly shocked, he immediately ran to the cabin, took out a bag of fish food, and threw it into the sea, this kind of fish food is specially processed, it has a strong fragrance, as long as there are fish nearby to smell the smell, they will soon come to feed, it is the bait used by fishermen to catch marine fish.
But after the fish food was thrown down, for half an hour, the sea was still very quiet, and no fish came to grab the fish food!
Ye Tian couldn't help but be shocked, "How is this possible?" The sea around here should be a place rich in fish, how can there be no fish? ”
After thinking about it, Ye Tian decided to go to the sea to see it himself, so he changed into a diving suit, carried an oxygen cylinder, and jumped into the deep sea.
After entering the water, Ye Tian had profound internal strength and was not afraid of the cold invasion, he turned on the searchlight on his head and swam towards the deep sea, but when he dived into the bottom of the sea more than 100 meters deep, he was surprised to find that there was not even a single fish in the sea near here, not even any living creatures!
The bottom of the sea is full of rocks and gravel, and there are no aquatic plants! If there were no aquatic plants, there would be no food for the fish, and naturally there would be no fish and other marine life.
Ye Tian swam around the bottom of the sea in amazement before returning to the boat, which shocked him.
"Why isn't there any life on the ocean floor around here? Is this a Dead Sea? Ye Tian frowned and thought, it stands to reason that this shouldn't be, because this is the center of the sea, even the Dead Sea shouldn't appear in this kind of place.
"There must be something strange in the waters around here!" Ye Tian's gaze looked ahead, there was still an hour's voyage to reach that mysterious island, he had a hunch that there were no creatures alive in the nearby seas, most of them had something to do with that island, although he couldn't tell where this hunch came from.
During the next hour's voyage, Ye Tian kept going into the water to check, and he found that the closer he got to the island, the more desolate the sea beneath the nearby sea became, and the sea area dozens of nautical miles nearby turned out to be a lifeless Dead Sea!
Finally, at about four o'clock in the morning, a dark island appeared in Ye Tian's glasses, which surprised and excited him.
This island wasn't supposed to be in this area, but it did! What secrets are hidden on this mysterious island?
Ye Tian stood on the bow of the boat excitedly, watching this island become clearer and clearer in his vision, and after more than an hour, at six o'clock in the morning, the first rays of sunlight rose from the sea level, and the entire sea surface suddenly turned red.
This small island is very small, only about two or three square kilometers, the island is full of black stones, a stone mountain one after another, the highest place is about fifty meters high, the whole island is not very large, the whole island is almost clear at a glance, and it is completely lifeless, without any animals and plants.
As soon as he approached this small island, Ye Tian felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart, and he couldn't tell what was going on, as if something on this island was watching him, which made him feel very uneasy.
But as far as the eye can see, there is no living life on this island, and the beach here is also a golden sand, but there is nothing on the beach except sand.
Ye Tian tied the cable of the boat to a big rock, lowered the anchor, and after parking the boat, he jumped onto the beach and stepped on the soft sand, which made him feel itchy under his feet, which was very comfortable.
Ye Tian immediately looked around the place near the shore and found no signs of biological activity, which made him a little strange.
"It looks like a desert island devoid of any life, but why did the owner of the sailboat mark it so big in his logbook? And he has been here many times, is there anything on this island that is worth his investigation? Or is there some other secret hidden? Ye Tian frowned and thought for a long time to no avail, after all, he was not a scientist.
This kind of thing is still left to the scientists to have a headache, Ye Tian shook his head, and planned to go back to the deck to rest for a while, and wait for the storm to pass, and then return home.
But just as Ye Tian was about to return to the deck, he inadvertently looked down and couldn't help but be shocked, because he suddenly saw that in addition to his footprints on the beach, there was actually another line of footprints! And it looks like the footprints weren't made by humans!
The strange footprint was only four toes, and it was wider and larger than a human's foot, making it look a bit like the legendary Bigfoot, and judging by this footprint, it was definitely taller than a human.
"This is when I was on patrol just now, and that thing appeared? But where is it hiding now? Ye Tian suddenly became curious, he followed this series of footprints to trace the past, and finally he found that this footprint actually came out of the sea and went towards the depths of the island, so it seems that this thing seems to live on this island?
