Chapter 260: Super Natural Disaster
In this otherworldly fantasy and mysterious sea, risks are everywhere.
In addition to the cliché extreme celestial phenomena such as tsunamis and storms, there are many strange disasters that belong to this world, which can be called "extraordinary natural disasters".
"Black Causeway", "Blue Hole" and "Broken Head Wave" are typical representatives.
Ever since humans moved out of the near seas and sailed far seas, they have always posed a threat to surface ships and seafarers.
Destructive and dangerous are indistinguishable!
Among them, the "guillotine wave" is the easiest to understand, and the wizards have the most abundant research materials on it.
Clearly, in the study of such dangerous natural disasters, wizards with both strength and intellectual curiosity have a far greater advantage than pure scholars.
To put it bluntly, the "broken head wave" is that in the deep sea, the sudden peaks and troughs are far more than the weird waves of the same kind.
It is said that the largest "broken wave" ever seen, with a height difference of nearly 40 meters!
You must know that even in the table of wind and wave heights compiled by the Iron Cross Church, the "goddess of kingship and navigation", the wave height caused by a category 12 hurricane with a maximum of 37 m/s is only 15 meters.
It is conceivable that the "decapitated wave" can really be decapitated!
Even if it is the most powerful first-class battleship representing the secular world of mankind, if it encounters such a "broken wave" in the open sea, it will be easily broken like a weak straw.
Then he was given a one-way ticket to the bottom of the sea by the deep trough of the "broken wave", and completely disappeared into the sea.
It's so clean that not even the tiniest plank will be left!
The principle of the "Blue Hole" is something that even the knowledgeable wizards of various schools are a little uncertain.
Through perennial observation and historical data collection, it can only be determined that its strange effect is: random teleportation!
On the calm sea, a blue water hole with a diameter ranging from several kilometers to tens of kilometers appeared without warning, and then all the seawater, fish, shrimp, algae... Even passing ships will be randomly transported to another place by magical powers.
It could be another sea, it could be on land, it could even be in the sky.
Eighty years ago, the Southern Continent colony of the Kingdom of Pharytis reported a shipwreck in the sky, and although it caused heavy damage to a plantation, fortunately there were no casualties.
Of course, if you don't count the original crew on board...
More victims of the "Blue Hole" disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again.
Some people speculate that the destination of the "Blue Hole" may be more likely to be on the bottom of the deep sea, or even... Another world!
This is also the main reason why no powerful wizard dares to enter the blue hole and try it out for himself.
Compared with the first two, the "Black Causeway" may not be so directly harmful, but its impact on the world is more far-reaching!
Because it has a direct connection with the famous "film industry".
The "shadow world" is a fantasy world that is both parallel and coexisting with the material world in which human beings live, and it is a dark realm with a glowing glow, which can be understood as a projection of the material world.
In this world, there are also mountains, rivers, continents, oceans, and even various human urban buildings.
But everything in it is distorted, full of black and white contrasts, and the colors are monotonous and boring, which is a place that no normal human being wants to stay for long.
The so-called "black embankment" is a strange phenomenon that occurs after the intersection and overlap of the "shadow world" and the material world at a certain moment.
Most of the time, there will be random manifestations of things that exist in the shadow world in this world!
Of course, if it is a barren land in the film world that manifests in a place that is inaccessible in the material world, of course it will not have any effect.
As long as the world separates after a while, the "Black Causeway" will naturally disappear.
But if the lair of a powerful shadow creature becomes a "black embankment" and descends on the bustling metropolis of mankind, it must be a terrible disaster no less than the invasion of evil gods!
However, this time, although Aiwen's luck was bad, it was not extremely bad.
First of all, what they encountered was not the expected "mother of sea monsters" to kill chickens.
Secondly, the scale of the "black embankment" that appeared this time is not too large, just a atoll-shaped reef formed by two reefs.
The radius of the reef is about 7,000 meters, low in the middle and high in the periphery, just enough to enclose the "Storm Horn", which could not dodge in time, in the lagoon in the middle.
There is even a gap in the north and south directions to communicate with the outside sea, but it is too thin and shallow to allow the "Storm Horn" to pass through.
Luckily, from the "surface", there were no too big shadow creatures on the reef to smuggle in, or no shadow creatures were seen.
Except for being trapped and unable to move, the "Storm Horn" is not in any danger for the time being.
Conversely.
If you're unlucky, this time you just happened to hit the big "Black Causeway" invasion.
It may be that just the tsunami caused by the overlapping realms can cause the "Storm Horn" to be buried directly in the sea, not to mention the powerful otherworldly creatures that enter the material world together with the "Black Causeway".
"Aven, in the information I have learned before, the time of the existence of the 'Black Causeway' is uncertain.
It can range from a few hours to a few years, and the smaller the scale, the faster it will disappear.
I think the 'black embankment' of this size may last between half a day and two days. Do you think we're going to wait for it to disappear naturally, or do we want to go up and take a look?"
Now that they are certain that they will not be trapped permanently, Milan are starting to get a little jumpy.
The more major events you experience, the faster your "prophet" skills improve. The small probability event of "Black Causeway" can be bumped into by yourself, and if you don't go up to see it, it will be a waste of this rare opportunity.
There was no direct answer to Milan.
Whoosh!Whoosh...
A swarm of pintail swifts had already shot out under Aven's command, forming a line to reconnoiter the island that had suddenly appeared.
The three armies have not moved the intelligence first!
The island is not too large, the terrain is not complicated, and a flock of pintail swifts can carry out reconnaissance work from the air at a very fast speed.
The feedback quickly reached Evan's heart: 'There is no shadow of any animal, safe!'
At least from the perspective of the seabirds, the island is safe.
As for whether there is something hidden in the ground or in the tiny crevices of the rocks, they are really powerless with their abilities, and this is also the flaw that Evan is ready to improve next.
In fact, "Galiot Bird Transformation 3.0" was already on the agenda when it was inherited by the "Living Chemistry School".
It's just that he wants to achieve the effect that Aven expected, and with his current apprentice-level spellcasting ability, he is still a little less hot.
The transformation design has been completed, and you can officially start it when you break through the official wizard!
"Let's go, Milan and Gary will go up with me, and the others will stay on the Storm Horn.
Second Alert! Gun Commander is ready to support at any time!"
Passive waiting has never been Aven's style, even if you don't do anything, you have to wait a day or so, so it's better to go to this island and find out.
Even if there is any danger, it is much better to be detonated when all personnel are on high alert than to be unwittingly stolen from the tower.
Therefore, before Evan set off, he raised the alert level of the "Storm Horn", just in case.
"Your Excellency, Captain, the gunner is in position!"
The three of them walked together, and Evan did not use [Jumping Wave] for the sake of convenience, but honestly put down a longboat and rowed towards the shoal closest to the "Storm Point".
Knock –
Soon, the longboat was paddled directly onto a piece of pure black sand, and the bottom of the longboat gently hit a reef and came to a complete stop.
Gary alone dragged the longboat to shore like a leaf, preventing it from being swept away by the sea.
"Alert formation, go!"
This time, Gary, who was already equipped with full-body heavy armor, was at the front, which was a high-end product from the "Alchemy Instruments and Enchantment Engineering" branch of the "Alchemy School".
In addition to being absolutely hard, the biggest advantage is... Float on the water!
At this time, Ai Wen finally got his wish and enjoyed the treatment of a noble spellcaster.
Although, the actual sorcery that he, the spellcaster, can use to count with two fingers...
Crunch!
The group moved slowly.
The grit beneath their feet, though almost completely non-reflective, is a rarity in the material world.
But except that the color is actually similar to ordinary volcanic rock, it is completely unnecessary to expect to exchange a stone from another world for gold.
Not far from their landing site grew some strange plants that looked like mangroves, half-submerged in the sea, and the trees had long fruits like black-purple eggplants.
As a fledgling "biologist", Evan is certainly interested in this otherworldly plant.
Although this plant had never been mentioned in the occult books he had read before, it did not prevent him from picking some long eggplant-like fruits that were already fully ripe with his experience and spiritual sense as a wizard of the "Living Chemistry School".
By the way, I also took a little black sand as a sample.
As for the microorganisms, viruses, etc. from another world that some people may be worried about, Evan said that he does not need to pay attention to it at all.
I don't know how many years this natural phenomenon has existed in this world, and in the long past, some kind of delicate ecological balance may have been reached between the two worlds.
Nature's ability to regulate is actually much more tenacious than humans think.
Perhaps the plant in his hands was actually the aboriginal of the material world countless years ago.
