Chapter 651: The Beginning of the Voyage
Xia Long didn't understand what Xu Ning meant at first, and when he raised his head to look at the side of the ship, a huge black shadow was cast on the deck. The huge body is like a giant dragon out of the water!
Ten thousand snakes!
"Hiss! Hiss! ”
Spitting out a scarlet core, the snake leader stared intently at Sharon on the deck. Sharon was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, he didn't know when the giant snake appeared, and when it was staring at him.
"Don't be afraid, it's the Water Ten Thousand Snake, one of my five soul beasts." Xu Ning stood up with his body propped up, and took Xia Long's hand to the deck. I have to say that the volume of the water snake is much larger than I imagined, and moreover, it turned out to be materialized. Jin Qilin only sued Xu Ning at the last moment, which is really enough to cheat.
Among the invisible soul beasts, the golden unicorn is a soul beast that acts on armor and weapons because of the ability of metal elements, while the fire phoenix acts on the power of the body's internal qi and meridians, and the other three, the water snake, the female mantis and the earth jade wolf are all soul beasts that can be materialized, but they stay in the real world for a short time and are very limited.
"Five Elements Soul Beast! Materialize! Sharon swallowed a mouthful of spit, still a little incredulous.
"What, are you dissatisfied with the old man?" A cold light shot out of Shui Wan Snake's eyes, staring at Xia Long with a hungry expression.
"No, no!" Sharon shook his head like a rattle.
"Water Ten Thousand Snakes, I don't have time to waste for you, now hurry up and find a way. Get out of the fog. Xu Ning said coldly.
Sure enough, because the water snake was hatched by absorbing Xu Ning's power, it was very obedient and honest in front of him.
"It's strange that you guys have run on this foggy road, and now there are two directions, one to the sea and the other to the inland, which one do you choose?"
"To the sea, of course."
"Okay, I'll do my best, but I'll only be here for a stick of incense."
Xia Long hurriedly said: "You just need to take the ship to the normal route to the sea." If it's not enough time. The boat can also follow the power of the river and reach the ocean on its own. ”
"That's too much time, you guys do it."
The tail of the water snake was raised and wrapped around the bow of the ship, and the whole ship was dragged under its huge body. Sail forward as fast as you can. The fog around them gathered again. It's not that the mermaid oil lamp doesn't work anymore. It's because it's too fast to dissipate. As soon as they entered the mist, Xu Ning and Xia Long were lost again. I don't even know where I am.
"Xu Ning, are you summoning me out to be a tugboat, hum!"
"Don't lose your temper, you soul beasts are all like children!"
"The old man has lived for tens of thousands of years, you dare to say that I am a child?!"
"Say you're not happy? Then bear with it! Xu Ning was not polite at all. Shui Wan Snake didn't refute, let alone dare to kick, but just sped up, and the two of them swayed left and right on the boat.
"Uncle, this group of ancestors is really choking! When I improve my strength, I will definitely train them well! Xu Ning couldn't help but scold, but Shui Wan Snake turned a deaf ear and kept pulling the two of them forward.
"Whew! Rushing! ”
Fortunately, the Qiang wooden boat is strong enough, otherwise it would have to fall apart! The whole ship is like an arrow from the string, and it is almost ready to fly!
"Brother Xu Ning, is it reliable or not!" Sharon asked, grabbing the side of the ship tightly.
"I don't know, I'm running out of strength now, and it's useless to stop it."
Resigning to fate was the only thing the two of them could do, but not long after they were moving forward, Xu Ning heard a huge sea tide in the fog. Sharon's expression was also surprised, and he kept looking ahead.
It didn't take long for a stick of incense to work, and when the water around it began to turn blue, the water snake finally stopped.
"It's not far ahead of the end of the estuary, I'm going to go back and rest first."
The huge snake body then slowly faded in the air, disappearing into a cloud of mist.
"Sharon, you don't feel anything."
"The smell of the wind is very strong, it should not be far away!" Sharon said excitedly.
The fog around is still very thick, but it seems to be a layer of window paper, as long as it is pierced, the bright road is in front of you. For the sake of prudence, the two of them endured their temperament and let the boat drift slowly in the water, which was like a year! It's like there are hundreds of cat's paws scratching in my heart!
"Whew!"
Suddenly, a fresh sea breeze blew away the haze in front of you!
Blue! Sparkling blue!
The sun shone on Xu Ning and Xia Long's bodies, bathing in them, and the complicated feelings that were suppressed in their hearts immediately dispersed, and their eyes were incomparably open.
Is this the first time I have seen such a large surface of water, the sea, in my life?
The calm sea was sparkling, and Xu Ning and Xia Long watched as the Qiangmu boat left a huge canyon, and behind them was the smoky misty road to the sea. The boat had turned into a leaf on the sea, and he and Sharon were like ants lying on the leaves.
"It's huge!" Xu Ning stretched out his arms and breathed quickly.
"It's huge!" Sharon also said in surprise.
"No, why are you surprised?" Xu Ning asked strangely.
"It's also my first time in the ocean, and I've only been in a river or a big lake before." Sharon scratched his head.
"Well, no wonder people say that a mountain is still a mountain high, if you want me to say, the same is true of water, so it looks like the entire Soul Continent is floating on the water."
"There's nothing wrong with that, but I don't understand why people live on land when the world on the water is so big." Sharon sighed. Staying on the surface of the sea, people will forget a lot of troubles, what fights, what hatreds, soon disappear.
"Probably there is a female mermaid in the sea!" Xu Ning said with a smile.
Finally out of the foggy road, here. It's the starting point of the route to your destination!
Xu Ning remembered something, rubbed it on his forehead with his hand, and the little light was not obvious, and then a scroll appeared in his hand.
Unfolding the scroll, a huge image of the ocean slowly appeared inside, and the water patterns in it seemed to be constantly changing, the most prominent was a canyon, representing the place where Xu Ning and Xia Long had just left.
"That's the nautical chart of where we're going." As he spoke, he bit his finger and a drop of blood dripped onto it.
"This picture...... Is it alive? ”
After Xu Ning's blood dripped on it. The color of the entire reel is more pronounced. The bloodstain changed to the shape of a ship, slowly moving forward. This map was obtained from the city of Fan, and it was also the only nautical chart to the lost passage that the elven queen gave her, and its magical Xu Ning still couldn't understand it. But. It is enough to know how to use it.
"This is the result of a lot of spiritual energy infusion. Sharon, I'll leave it to you now, as for where exactly the destination is. You'll know when you arrive. ”
Xia Long was surprised and moved, which shows that Xu Ning completely trusts himself! As Xu Ning originally said, many things are not clear, but when it is time for him to know, he will naturally know.
"Brother Xu Ning, no matter where your destination is, I will follow you!"
"Haha, don't say it, sail!"
"Okay! Let's go! ”
Sharon put away the chart, jumped onto the mast, pulled up the rope that hung on it, and jumped down from it. Using its own gravity, the sails were raised again. The wind was calm at sea, and as soon as the hull was forced, it picked up speed!
"Brother Xu Ning, this ship doesn't have a name yet!"
"Oh, does it matter?"
"It doesn't matter, but according to the rules, any ship entering the sea must have a name, otherwise it will be very unlucky."
"Then I'll follow the local customs, what do you think is a better name?" Xu Ning sat on the deck, soaking up the sun, and said lazily.
"The place we are going to should be very dangerous, and there will be a lot of difficulties in the middle, so it is simply called fearless!"
"Well, yes, what a dreadnought! Only by being fearless can we succeed in doing things! I like it! Xu Ning said approvingly.
With Xu Ning's permission, Xia Long officially engraved the word "fearless" on the bow of the ship!
Xu Ning himself may not know how much wind and waves this medium-sized dreadnought ship will set off in the process of leading to the lost passage!
Xu Ning has been gone for almost ten days or so, and it seems that the quiet in Qingfeng City has been restored, no one is going to trouble the Xu family anymore, and the five major families don't have to tremble to defend anymore, and all the hidden cultivators have been taken back.
The Dongzhou royal clan seemed to be frightened and became very calm, and the usual campaign to conquer the northern barbarians was unexpectedly interrupted.
However, the conspiracy did not go away, but became bigger! Soon, a shadow that will sweep across the entire Dongzhou Empire will appear, and the focus of this crisis is focused on Rashomon!
Xu Ning didn't know about this qiē, but the matter of a qiē was caused by him.
Sun Yuan, the master of Rashomon, hadn't closed his eyes for three days, and in the secret room, all the utensils were smashed by him, and even the walls were damaged. A long chain was tied around his neck, surrounded by enchantments and dangerous charms that prevented him from getting out.
Elder An stood at the door of the secret room with a solemn face, waiting for the news from the Rashomon disciples, and it was not until late evening that one of the disciples hurried back.
"How is it, have you found Xu Ning?!"
"Nope! Qingfeng City's eyeliner reported that Xu Ning had left ten days ago, and his whereabouts were unknown! ”
"What?! How so?! ”
"There is news that he has been in contact with the barbarians in the north, and our people have also inquired, but he has not returned yet."
Elder An sighed and endured, and said, "I know, you go and rest, and by the way, invite the other eight elders here, remember, it must be done in secret at this time!" ”
"My subordinates understand!"
After Rashomon's disciples left, Elder An's face became even more gloomy.
"Xu Ning, although you are gone, the Xu family can't escape! It seems that this catastrophe is inevitable. (To be continued......)
