Chapter 4: The Strange Crystal Ball
A day and a night have passed since the invasion of the deep-sea warships. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe long-awaited rescue ship has not yet arrived. Old Leon's injuries had stopped, but the old captain had fallen asleep after taking the medicine. This old man who wanted to protect Zhu Li lost an arm forever.
The mast of Bauhinia 1 was blown off in two. The sail on the remaining mast was also shattered. The deck and stern were also extensively damaged, but fortunately the remaining half of the oars were still usable, again following the current. After the first mate Green readjusted the route of the Bauhinia No. 1. Bauhinia No. 1 was still driving slowly in the direction of the Seventh Town Guard.
Zhu Li walked out of the cabin with a heavy heart and came to the bow deck. As night falls, two full moons rise one after the other. Opposite hung in the night sky like a pair of horns. The full moon that defies common sense is white and green. The blue and white colors are distinct on the surface of the sea, and they never meet, just like the ship girl and the deep sea in the endless world, as if they are inherently opposites. Only the stars fill the summer night sky with layers and merge into a sea of stars. At the same time, the starlight drooped and shimmered on the blue and white sea. It's like a mysterious world in a fairy tale. The newcomers who came out of the slums were stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of them. Although the Bauhinia Harbor also has a starry sky and a sea, it is really not worth mentioning compared to the tranquil and magnificent scene in front of you.
"What's that?" Suddenly, Zhu Li's eyes lit up. The waves of the sea in the distance rolled and pushed a ball near Bauhinia 1. The moonlight and starlight were attracted by this sphere and converged towards the center of the sphere, which was very mysterious. As if with some kind of mysterious call, Zhu Li jumped from the deck into the sea, and the boy who grew up by the sea swam on the surface of the sea very skillfully, and carefully took the ball in his hand.
The ball was a fist-sized crystal, and Zhu Li took a closer look and saw that half of the inside of the ball crystal was seawater. There was also a large black three-masted ship floating in the water. Zhu Li took a closer look, the pocket ship in the crystal ball was in tatters, the black wooden hull was full of mottled scars, and it looked even worse than the Bauhinia No. 1 at this moment. The sails on the mast were all holes, and on the top of the mast hung a worn-out flag with staggered swords painted on it, a skull?
Zhu Li watched in surprise as the small hull of the boat flickered and floated with the waves in the crystal ball. Wait, why is there a wave in the sea water inside this crystal ball? Zhu Li lifted the crystal ball and was about to look more closely at the moonlight. I saw that the starlight that originally surrounded the crystal ball suddenly closed. The crystal ball suddenly turned into a black stone ball. What the hell is this?
As the crystal ball dimly turned into a stone ball, the blue and white moonlight on the sea suddenly began to distort sharply, and with Zhu Li as the center, a huge whirlpool was quickly generated! The whirlpool was spinning faster and faster, and Zhu Li only felt that his consciousness slowly became blurred as the whirlpool turned. I vaguely heard Sam calling out his name, and then he lost consciousness completely.
And with Sam's shouting on the Bauhinia One, the crew on the night shift all ran out. Watching the huge whirlpool on the sea 'devour' Zhu Li little by little, even Bauhinia No. 1 was pulled by the huge force and floated towards the center of the whirlpool. First mate Green shouted in horror, "Quick, get the boat out of the whirlpool." Sam, go inform the old captain......"
……
Let's not talk about the panic on Bauhinia No. 1, but it is said that two hundred and twenty nautical miles southwest of the seventh sea area of the Endless Sea World, there is a sea area that is shrouded in smoke all year round. Not only are deep-sea warships often seen in this area, but there are also strange undercurrents hidden everywhere in this area. Beneath the surface of the sea there are irregular reefs, a mysterious sea area that is off-limits to all ships in the Seventh Sea. Even the most experienced captains of fishing boats in the Seventh Sea are reluctant to come within five nautical miles of this area.
According to legend, this sea area hides the treasures collected by the Founding Emperor of the Fubo Empire, and those who obtain the Emperor's treasure can rule the entire Endless Sea world. Although few people believe in this legend, there are really admirals who do not believe in evil and rely on their own ships to forcibly break into this sea area. But after losing a hero-class battleship of Maryland, no admiral was willing to set foot again, and it was a 61-class battleship. And the Admiral Fidel, who lost the hero-class ship, not only lost his beloved battleship, but was also nailed to the pillar of shame in the Endless Sea, forever ridiculed by future generations. The hero-class ship girl was not defeated by the deep sea, but was sunk to the bottom of the sea by the undercurrents and reefs in this so-called misty sea, which is really ridiculous. But then again, even the hero-class ship has sunk here, and the danger of this sea area can be imagined.
As for the treasure of Fubo the Great? Hmph, who knows. The founder of the Fubo Empire was a mysterious and restless emperor, and his favorite thing to do was to run around during his reign. Rumors of his buried treasures are circulating throughout the Endless Sea world, but most of them are groundless, and there are some places where there are really some things hidden, but the most precious treasures found are only some resources or blueprint battleship cores and the like. Therefore, after Fidel made such a big joke, few people would be uncomfortable with the Sea of Mist.
And on a small island in the center of this sea area, an uninvited guest came today.
Zhu Li opened his eyes with great difficulty, looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked: "Aren't you on Bauhinia No. 1?" How did it end up here? Could it be the Bauhinia 1 shipwreck? ”
"That's not right!" Zhu Li shook his head, and suddenly remembered that he was sucked into the whirlpool when he was fishing for the crystal ball: "Could it be that the whirlpool is connected to the undercurrent at the bottom of the sea?" So, where am I now? By the way, the crystal ball, what about the crystal ball? ”
Touching both hands, he felt that the ball was in the palm of his right hand, Zhu Li hurriedly raised it in front of his eyes to see that the ball still had not changed, it was still a black stone ball. It's not at all like the glittering crystal balls you see in the moonlight at night. You can't see the sea water inside the ball or the boat at all! What the hell is this! Where are you now?
At this time, it was noon, Zhu Li got up from the sea and began to look at the island in front of him. Not far from Zhu is a large coconut grove, and the coconuts on the coconut trees hang on the trees one by one. Zhu Li's heart was relieved, it seemed that he didn't have to worry about food in a short time.
Zhu Li looked farther away, waist-high shrubs occupied most of the island. Under the shade of shrubs, there is a black building. Is this strange island inhabited?
