Chapter 368: Crossing the Yuan Realm
The New World is a continent that was discovered later than the Eastern and Western Boundaries, and its scale is not large, only two-thirds the area of the Eastern Boundary, but the landforms are diverse and the scenery is magnificent and magnificent. It is the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty in the east and the Yuan Dynasty in the west, which is in line with the doctrine that the Star World is a nearly circular planet.
Yuan is the beginning of all things, born with chaos, the Yuan disaster world is not as mysterious as the Yuan Chu realm, it is rumored that there are sharks under the latter, although few people go, but it has been confirmed.
There are writers in the world who write fairy tales that say that the mermaids are beautiful and kind, and that they are mainly young women, but the oral legends of the sailors are different, and in their mouths, the mermaids are monsters that attract people to cry and then eat them. Rumors vary, so cloning that creature with a mysterious black veil is not as simple as the Yuan Disaster Realm, here, there are only endless storms and raging currents!
As the days passed, the Commander had reached the Yuan Disaster Realm. The waves thundered mercilessly against the hull of the ship, and its huge body moved steadily on the sea, difficult and dangerous. On deck, the sailors were busy.
"Captain, you're about to go to the sinking sea!"
"Change the sails, get ready to stop the ship, and raise the iron plates!"
Today's storm was unexpectedly strong, but Cook was experienced and stood at one end of the deck and stretched out his hand to command.
The sails of the Commander were tucked together and tightly tied with ropes, and the sailors rocked the main pole that could be raised and lowered into the cabin, and then lifted the wooden iron plates on the sides of the ship. The Commander has been modified to become a semi-automated long-distance ship, and at this time, it is specially designed to cross the two worlds of Yuan Chu and Yuan Yuan.
The Commander, who raised the iron plate, was like a wooden shuttle, and when the sunlight was blocked, the headlights outside the captain's exterior lit up.
"What is this?"
Xing Zeyuan stood on the deck, he originally wanted to see the danger of the Yuan Disaster Realm, but he didn't expect the Commander to turn into a box in the sound of the machine and the sound of gears?
"This invention is called a 'swimming wing' and it protects us from water pressure. ”
"But can you really see the way through this?"
The plate armor of the outer wood and the iron in the inner wood is not thick, and it can be put together perfectly, making the Commander like a flat goose egg.
The Commander, who was still shaking violently in the last second, immediately stabilized, and Xing Zeyuan felt his body sink and had a sense of falling.
"Of course!"
Cook looked at the huge swimming wing above his head and said proudly:
"It's easy to use, just shake it up when you're looking at the road. ”
Xing Zeyuan still didn't understand a little, and the geographical knowledge in the school was relatively shallow, so he only taught him how to read maps and how to calculate scales. He also learned the types of ships, and even learned how to calculate the speed of the ship and the resistance of the wind direction, but did not mention the details of crossing the Yuan Disaster Realm.
Because of this, the talents of the Western Regions will regard navigators as fearless adventurers, as a symbol of courage!
Cook seemed to guess Xing Zeyuan's mind and said to him:
"The Yuan Disaster Realm is a chaotic sea area, and we can't cross from it, because the current sometimes sinks and sometimes rises, which is very dangerous and easy to capsize. However, the southern seas of the Yuan Disaster Realm were still found by their predecessors very early, and there was a fixed sea area where the ships would sink, and there were also some sea areas where the currents would rise. Let's use this to pass through the Yuan Disaster Realm!"
Cook never memorized knowledge, but he still knew a lot.
"These wings keep the boat from swaying on the way down or up, making it less likely to cause trouble. ”
That is to say...... We're in the sea now?"
"Hmm!"
Xing Zeyuan was surprised, only a little water flowed in from the cracks in the wooden planks above his head, which was the effect of the wooden planks outside the iron plate. They are more active and can effectively prevent seawater intrusion. But sinking in the middle of the sea is an unthinkable thing!
"How did the people of the past cope with sinking?"
"Hide in a sealed cabin, or put a giant skin on the ship. ”
"Doesn't sound like a swim wing works!"
"Of course, but strictly speaking, I'm only an improver of it, and its prototype appeared a long time ago!"
Xing Zeyuan raised his head and rotated his body to look at the swimming wings, this is the wisdom of people?
"How do you get there?"
Cook walked into the captain's room with Xing Zeyuan and said:
"Don't worry, you'll know when you get to a fixed depth!"
Xing Zeyuan nodded, and Da Gang asked the crew skillfully on the side:
"How many meters?"
"I have dived 1,500 meters. ”
It's only been a few minutes, and you've dived so deep?
"Speed up, the water pressure will be higher next, let's go straight to the calm zone!"
"Yes!"
"Hold on to the handrails above your head!"
Cook patted Xing Zeyuan on the shoulder, and the moment the latter grabbed the handrail, the Commander leaned slightly, and the bow of the ship was facing the bottom of the sea, and the speed increased as a result.
His body slowly pressed against the ceiling, he was both curious and surprised, and then looked at the people around him, they were still talking and laughing. In Xing Zeyuan's eyes, the voyage is very dangerous, they have long been commonplace, and they can face it calmly!
"It's almost three thousand meters!"
Xing Zeyuan frowned, diving so deep, he didn't feel anything unusual. In fact, this is related to the current and the boat that is driving, and Xing Zeyuan gradually understands why Cook said that the boat can't cross the Yuan Disaster Realm. Large boats are steady, so they can move freely in the currents, but small boats are different and can be overturned by a single wave.
"Prepare to unfold your wings!"
Cook ordered the deck to be emptied immediately and the cabin doors locked.
The diagonal boat slowly twists as the swim wings spread out to form a 90-degree right angle to the rim. The sinking force was blocked, and the Commander went straight.
The Commander recovered from the tilt, and the sailors shouted and cursed, saying that someone had kicked him in the head, and everyone looked at ease, this kind of life, they had long become accustomed to it! The adventure that Xing Zeyuan thought was far less exciting than going to Wodev in their hearts.
Through the glass of the captain's room, Xing Zeyuan saw a downward flowing curtain in the dark sea in the stern direction, and the sea curtain did not know where to start or stop, just like that, the never-ending flow rushed to the depths.
The sea was a little dark, but Xing Zeyuan still saw some magnificent scenery from the light in the captain's room, and the swimming wings swayed on the deck, making the Commander keep moving forward in the calm area. The nimble wings of the swimmers swung regularly under the control of the crew, like trilobites with long spines growing on the side of the thorax.
The Commander grew farther and farther away from the noise of the water, and suddenly its ears became quiet, and even the water outside the captain's room was so soft that it seemed that if they didn't move it, it would stay where it was forever.
The world below the ship was pitch black, and a huge skeleton slowly appeared on the front side of the captain's quarters, covered with marine plants, and constantly fluttered with the currents brought by the Commander, like a spirit flag in a giant cemetery.
"What's that?"
Because the Commander was fast, the hundred-meter-tall skeleton was quickly left behind. Xing Zeyuan was a little curious, the huge skeleton was like a legendary dragon.
Just now it was just the dragon's head, its body entrenched in the darkness, the dragon's head upward, as if it was breaking free. But in the end, it can only be turned into skeletons.
"The dark dragon sealed in the depths of the sea, of course, this is just a legend. ”
"Dark Dragon?"
Xing Zeyuan muttered slightly, he had seen the description of it from some messy books.
"It's like me. ”
The boat moved steadily, and Cook turned his head and said:
"Why?"
"Legend has it that the dark dragon is the last trace of the bloodline of the 'Erlei' race, and the 'Erlei' race is unruly, so it caused a racial dispute, and was killed by countless divine beasts united, and the dark dragon was the last, and he fled for a long time, and finally died here!"
"You know a lot!"
Xing Zeyuan smiled faintly and suddenly said:
"Uncle Cook, I'll go back to my room first!"
"Good. ”
Xing Zeyuan left from the side of the captain's room, a little lonely figure, he used to feel that the dark dragon deserved it, because their race was guilty, but now Xing Zeyuan is the dark dragon!
Sitting on the chair that Youyou had sat on, Xing Zeyuan leaned against the wall of the ship and looked at the sea outside the round window, there was nothing in the dark sea, and the dark dragon was really lonely. One person fled, one ran from the Garden of Divine Beasts to this place, and another person died.
The real story is actually not like this, the dark dragon is not a loser, he let countless divine beasts fall before he died, and the already chaotic Yuan Xuan Realm is therefore unevenly undulating, at the bottom of this sea, are the bones of countless divine beasts, and the dark dragon, standing on the bones, is like a victorious king, roaring loudly!
It's just that...... Xing Zeyuan didn't know, he asked himself:
"Am I going to be like it, will I die alone as the last person in the Dream Clan?"
"No!"
The gloomy voice was no longer terrifying, and the rough voice was not deafening, and Xing Zeyuan longed to hear these two voices, because he could find snuggling and encouragement in them.
"Until the energy runs out, we will protect you and will not let you die!"
"Thank you, Uncle Tsubasade. ”
A parallel ship suddenly appeared outside the window, was it the ship of the World Government? From the moment they went out to sea to release the carrier pigeons, Xing Zeyuan was always ready for battle, but soon, his guard relaxed again, because this ship seemed to be just an ordinary merchant ship, but the speed was a little fast!
Xing Zeyuan asked:
"Uncle Winghand, you don't usually come out easily, what's the matter?"
"Yes!"
Xing Zeyuan still knows a lot about Winged Hands and White Tails, and they rarely appear except for fatal moments.
"Your cultivation is not high, and if you continue like this, your body will collapse. Find a time to rest and eat something more than you often talk about...... Elixirs and pills for health preservation. ”
"Got it, Uncle Tsubasa. ”
Xing Zeyuan was very tired during this time, although his daily schedule was very regular, but the intensity of his exercise was too great, and he had a dark disease, so Xing Zeyuan, who was good on the outside, had already been under constant load.
"Get some rest! I'm leaving!"
"Okay!"
Xing Zeyuan was lying on the bed, and he slowly walked up to Gansuo's path, and the latter's body also collapsed step by step. At the thought of Gansuo, Xing Zeyuan suddenly worried, I don't know where Brother Gansuo is now?
"Phew!"
Xing Zeyuan patted his mouth, and asked the ship doctor on the Commander to check his body, some of the injuries were more serious than he thought, and the ship doctor prescribed medicine and let Xing Zeyuan decoction every day. He is a mortal, and he must pay attention to his body so that he can see the young and quiet in peace.
At the same time, the Commander continued to move forward, traversing the Yuan Disaster Realm. This silent and calm zone is free of the restlessness of the sea above, because the dead beasts suppress the vitality of the place with resentment.
"Captain, I checked Xing Zeyuan's body just now. ”
"What's wrong?"
"He didn't have any injuries on his body, but he had problems with his internal organs. ”
"That?"
"All!"
"All?"
"Well, it must have been that the previous battle was too fierce and oppressed to the inside. ”
"Seriously?"
The ship's doctor said with a serious face:
"It's serious, if you are seriously injured in the next battle, you will most likely die!"
"Does Xing Zeyuan know?"
"I didn't tell him all about it, he still thinks his injuries are just minor ailments. ”
"Then don't tell him. ”
Cook squinted, thoughtful as the ship's doctor wondered.
"What he has to do is too big, we can't participate in it and can't stop it, so let's quit early!"
The person he once looked down on has grown to the point of eye level, but unfortunately he is about to die. He couldn't stop it, he had to end it here, and if he didn't tell him because it was useless, or because he didn't add trouble to Xing Zeyuan!
