Chapter 652: Supply Station

Sailing at sea is different from traveling on land, and although the sea is wide and pleasant, there are risks involved. Xu Ning soon understood that the seawater could not be drunk, or even bathed, and there was no shortage of food in his cabin, even if the food was eaten, he could catch fish to satisfy his hunger.

The most terrible thing is the lack of fresh water.

There is a lot of wine, but you can't always drink it, and in the evening, Xu Ning and Xia Long found that when they left the Jiangxia tribe, they only cared about putting some air-dried meat and grain, which was already alcoholic, but there was no water at all!

"It's over, I'm going to die now!" Xu Ning said weakly sitting on the side of the boat.

"It's not like that, Brother Xu Ning, the islands in the sea all store zài fresh water, and besides, it's really not okay that we can store rainwater."

"If it's going to rain!" Xu Ning looked at the sky, the sun was shining, the blue sky was cloudless, not to mention the rain, there was not even a trace of cold wind.

"Don't be discouraged, you see, this little dot on this map should be a small island. We went to this place to resupply first, and then continued our voyage, I heard the old people who used to go to sea in the land of water say that all routes cannot go straight, and sometimes people have to take long detours in order to get supplies. ”

"No, but I can understand that."

Xu Ning smiled helplessly, got into the cabin and picked up a jar of wine, sat on the deck and drank it. Although there is a certain amount of water in the wine, it will only get thirstier the more he drinks, Xu Ning also knows that this is a way to quench his thirst, but he just wants to drink.

Escaping death should be celebrated.

The evening at sea is short. The clear sky soon became gloomy, and the stars in the sky seemed more and denser than on land, and the direction of the Big Dipper Array was clearer. Looking up, the stars are so close to humans that they seem to be reachable.

"No wonder they're all going to flee to an overseas wonderland. Because it's so quiet, it's a paradise on earth! Xu Ning said in a daze, half drunk and half awake.

Xia Long was observing the navigation chart, constantly controlling the rudder, and didn't even look back and asked, "Brother Xu Ning, who are you talking about?" ”

"Elves, of course."

"Elves? Are we going to find the elves? ”

"Hehe, what do you think? It's okay to put a comfortable day, but did you come all the way from Qingfeng City to the sea just to see the stars? How. Do you think it's not credible? Xu Ning sat up and asked.

"No, I just think it's a little incredible. For us, the elven race is just a legend, a myth. ”

"If I had told you in the morning, would you still come with me?"

"This, maybe not, but maybe, I think Brother Xu Ning, you have a kind of magic. You can't go wrong with the right things! Sharon fixed the rudder, turned and walked over.

"You're exalting me too much." Xu Ning made a face. The mood is a little complicated: "If you tell you about my background, you must feel incredible, even unbelievable." Even the qiē I am doing now feels like a dream, and it is only when I am drunk that I feel more real. ”

"Brother Xu Ning, what is your goal?"

"The goal at first was simple. I want to protect my relatives and friends, and slowly I have become a weak person in the whole family and living together, as for now, if I say the entire Soul Continent, do you think I'm pretending!? ”

"This ...... Although a bit of an exaggeration. But I'm sure you really think so, after all, you have nothing to do with the Jiangxia tribe, and you still want to help us. ”

"I didn't help you with anything, but Xia Que helped me." Xu Ning said with a smile.

"Oh, I don't understand."

"He taught me that goodness in this world can sometimes be used as a weapon to hurt others."

"Kindness? Weapons that hurt others?! ”

"Don't you understand? It doesn't matter, you'll understand sooner or later. Xu Ning stood up, let the sea breeze blow his heavy head, and said, "I want to get a power to maintain peace on the entire continent!" But it doesn't necessarily lead to peace! Whether it is a human being, a demon beast, or a soul body, all kinds of existence are multiplied in suspicion and strife, and the individual is not important, the important thing is ......"

Xu Ning suddenly felt dizzy and immediately sat down again. The wine is up.

"The important thing is...... What the? Sharon asked suspiciously.

Xu Ning had already fallen asleep, and after a while, he actually snored.

Xia Long smiled bitterly and thought to himself, what a time to sleep! Back in the bow, take the helm, and sail forward!

On the first night at sea, Xu Ning slept like this.

At dawn, Xu Ning was awakened by the feeling of fire in his throat and eyes, and the first word was: "water", but soon he patted his heavy head and sighed. The Qiangmu boat swaying from side to side reminded him that it was at sea and that there was no fresh water at all.

Unexpectedly, a bowl of water was delivered to him.

Xu Ning didn't think about it, he drank it all down! It feels so comfortable, it's better than any jade elixir!

"Strange, Sharon, where did you get the water!"

After drinking it, Xu Ning remembered that this is the sea, and the sea water cannot be drunk!

"Hehe, I naturally have a way." Xia Long said with a tired face.

"What the hell do you do?" Xu Ning felt that something was wrong.

"It's also simple, the wind is cooler at night, and the water in the air will slowly condense when it encounters the utensils, so as long as you pay attention to the direction of the wind, you can collect water."

"So, do you stand with this bowl all night?" Xu Ning said with surprise and emotion.

"I can't sleep at night anyway, while at the helm, while collecting."

"Good brother, you've worked hard." Xu Ning said movingly, and at the same time blamed himself for his willfulness. If he didn't drink, Sharon probably wouldn't have had to work so hard.

"Brother Xu Ning, don't be so polite, we will be able to reach that island soon. Just store some more when the time comes. The sunrise in the east once again illuminated the sea, Xu Ning jumped on the mast and looked into the distance, and a shadow was cast on the sea level.

"Really. Sure enough, there is an island! ”

"We'll be there in half an hour at most! If I'm not mistaken, it must have been the first stop for generations of sailors, and it was also an important supply depot! Sharon also said excitedly.

As a citizen of the Land of Water, I was also very proud to be able to go to the waters outside the Soul Continent in person.

"Left full rudder, rush!" Xu Ning shouted loudly. Like a child.

"Haha! Ha ha! ”

Since leaving the estuary, it has been a tailwind, so the speed is fast, and the Qiangmu boat has also adapted to the bumps of the sea.

It took less than half a pillar of incense to get close to the island, and to be honest, it was really not big, and it was only the size of a mountain peak on land. From a distance, the most striking thing is a mountain peak in the middle, emitting puffs of white smoke in the morning sun.

"The draft here is still relatively deep, Brother Xu Ning, I'll go down and bolt the boat up first!"

Xia Long was obviously much more excited than Xu Ning. After jumping off the boat, he ran quickly on the water, pulling the rope and dragging the whole ship forward. The beach is shallow, and there is not much sand, but there are a lot of black rocks exposed. Xu Ning found that the more he got to the shore, the sea became darker and more turbid.

"Whoosh!"

After Xia Long tied the rope, Xu Ning also flew deep, and the two of them had come to this strange island.

"Here. Is it really a supply depot? Xu Ning said to himself.

"Brother Xu Ning, what are your concerns?"

Look at the withered yellow and thin grass everywhere. and the lonely trees in the distance, Xu Ning became more and more unbelieving.

"Don't worry, Brother Xu Ning, if there is no fresh water here, there will be no grass growing here. Let's go! ”

Xia Lon's words should not be said casually, he has already arrived here, and he must go and see it.

This was the eleventh day Xu Ning had left Qingfeng City. The second day of the voyage at sea.

The sand on the ground was white, and after walking a long way, you could see dead shellfish and weathered crabs and starfish scattered on the ground, and it seemed that the whole island would be in danger of being submerged during a storm or when the sea swelled.

But the more you go inside. The trees and grass grew thicker, and there were even all sorts of wildflowers on the ground that could not be named. In the quiet environment, it makes people feel comfortable, but the anxious state of mind is the same, Xu Ning doesn't know what he is worried about, he looks back as he walks, and always feels that he is being watched.

"Brother Xu Ning, listen!"

Suddenly, Xia Long stopped, Xu Ning listened carefully, and a pleasant sound came from afar.

"Bang la la la ......"

It's clearly the sound of a waterfall!

The scene of crystal clear fresh water immediately appeared in front of him, Xu Ning felt that his throat and eyes began to smoke again, and pulled Xia Long together, and the two of them quickly rushed forward!

"Whoa, whoa!"

After passing through a coconut grove, the peak turned around in front of them, and a white curtain of water appeared in front of the eyes of the two people!

Sure enough, it's a waterfall!

"Haha! Sharon, you kid, really made you right. Xu Ning jumped over excitedly, and with a "poof", the whole person jumped into the deep pool.

Sharon was also relieved.

The waterfall is actually not big, and it flows down from the high peaks in the distance, forming a small pool. It is surrounded by clean sand, and at a glance it is pure fresh water.

Xu Ning picked it up and took a sip, and suddenly felt that the cells in his whole body were rejuvenated!

"Sharon, you can taste it too, it's so sweet!"

"It's not a delusion, the fresh water on the island is indeed better than on the mainland." Sharon picked it up and drank it all, and it was really cool and refreshing!

"You say, if only we could move this waterfall to the boat, haha!" Xu Ning said with a smile.

Suddenly, a strange voice came from overhead!

"Hmph, it's really greedy, it's not okay to steal the water from the holy spring, you have to steal it, I think you are living to the end!"

Xu Ning jumped out of the water with a "whoosh", and stood side by side with Xia Long, and his own water splitting thorn also appeared in Xia Long's hand!

Uncle, there are other people here?! I thought it was an uninhabited island!

A long figure stood on top of the waterfall, with a face as long as a donkey, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a normal person!

But his facial features are still human, he has a pair of white eyes, a big bone-like thing in his hand, I don't know what kind of weapon it is, and there is a dog behind him.

"Your uncle scared me to death!" Xu Ning let out a sigh, "Are you a living person?" ”

"Hmph, stinky boy, listening to your accent, it looks a lot like someone from the Dongzhou Empire!"

"Sure enough, it's a living person, otherwise how can you know about the Dongzhou Empire?" Xu Ning said with a smile.

The people on the waterfall were furious and shouted, "You two bastards, you don't seem to have figured out who you provoked, did you!?" (To be continued......)
