The salty sea breeze on the beach was blowing, Xie Qingke turned his back to the sea, pinched his hands into a gesture, and said to everyone on the shore.

“nice！”

Jusha said with a smile, and then jumped on the ice floe first.

The other five people in the Ninth Courtyard also smiled, jumped on the ice floe, and the seven people stood up, which only occupied less than half of the area.

The students of the Second Academy looked at it with some greed, but they did not move.

"Come along, too." Xie Qingke looked at the rest of the people and said.

"This ...... Is that possible? ”

"What's not to do? I don't know what is in the sea, and a few of us may not be able to deal with it, since we have met, let's take care of it together, and when the situation is discovered, it is not too late to separate again. ”

Cheng Lin said with a smile.

The rest of the participants also agreed.

Although there is competition between the faculties, there are limits to this competition.

Especially at this moment, there are not only monks of the Xia Kingdom, but also people from the Su Kingdom, and it is always good to help out in this situation.

"This ...... All right...... I'm really bothering you too much tonight. ”

Song Xianzhen was a little embarrassed.

As the head of the major colleges, the students of the Second Academy naturally have their own arrogance.

Song Xianzhen, as the first in the Second Academy, although he seems to be calm and not arrogant on the surface, his pride is hidden inside.

If it were usual, they might not accept Xie Qingke's invitation at all, if nothing else, just for "pride".

Tonight, however, they saw the dragon attacking, and then they were almost involved in an international diplomatic incident.

If it weren't for the people of the Ninth Academy, to be precise, Cheng Lin and Xiao Ningyu would have helped, they might have been forcibly taken out of the projection at this moment, and then subjected to severe interrogation, which is very likely.

It is conceivable that once you get involved, the better outcome is that your future will be ruined.

This experience not only allowed them to inherit the favor of the Ninth Academy, but also wore off a lot of pride in their hearts.

It's just that in this way, Song Xianzhen and others always feel that they owe too much.

"We may still work together in the future, and we will see this as a matter of course."

"Okay, then let's push the ice floes."

So the team of the Second Academy also jumped up, and one of the students with the "wind" attribute blew a strong wind backwards, pushing the ice floe towards the depths of the sea.

……

It's an amazing experience.

More than a dozen people stood evenly, and the members of the perception system of the two teams were like two radars, constantly scanning the surroundings.

The rest held their weapons cautiously, prepared for possible crises.

It's dark at night.

The salty air currents on the sea are surging.

The sky was originally quite bright, but at this time, it was also covered by dark clouds, making this strange sea area more and more mysterious.

The trainees took out their searchlight flashlights from their backpacks and turned them on.

As a result, more than a dozen stabbed towards the endless sea like lightsabers in a sci-fi blockbuster.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't break through the 100-meter range around them.

"There is fog floating in the sea."

Liang Pi said.

This is something that everyone has discovered, and it is this mysterious fog that blocks the detection of perception.

"We have reason to believe that there is something hidden behind this fog, and my personal guess is an island." Liang Pi said again.

This time, someone finally asked, "Why?" ”

"Do you remember the voice that came to our heads earlier?"

"That tune, you say?"

"The poem at the end of the song, to be exact...... I'll call it poetry, it's those sentences recited by Cheng's predecessors, remember? There is a sentence that mentions 'an island surrounded by the sea'. Liang Pi explained.

His words awakened everyone's memory.

"I remember that too, it's very likely."

"The sea...... Island...... Dense fog ......" Fu Zhongting lowered his eyebrows and muttered, "Don't you think this is familiar?" ”

"Familiar? ...... are you referring to?"

"There has been an island projection before, and the one with Cheng's predecessor's image is also an island wrapped in dense fog." Fu Zhongting's tone was serious.

There was silence on the ice floes.

After a while, the fourth-grade girl in the second courtyard spoke:

"I think I probably understand what you mean, the last projection confirmed that the island is the place where the sect founded by Cheng seniors is located, and it can be speculated that the dense fog surrounding the island is also the handiwork of Cheng seniors, so this time, what we see in front of us is very likely to be a 'mountain gate ruins' left by Cheng seniors, or a similar existence?"

"Clever! That's what I mean. Fu Zhongting glanced at her appreciatively.

The girl couldn't help but sketch the corners of her mouth, a little proud.

"There is some truth to your analysis, but combined with the images of the dragon rushing from earlier, it is clear that this has something to do with those mythical creatures."

Song Xianzhen also interjected, and turned his head to look at Cheng Lin: "What do you think?" ”

"Huh? I think...... Makes sense. ”

Cheng Lin hid his embarrassment.

It's strange to be confronted with speculation and discussion.

Just when Cheng Lin was about to change the topic.

Suddenly, he felt the ice floes under his feet flickering slightly.

Xie Qingke's voice changed slightly:

"The flow of water has changed, and we are going deeper into the fog!"

Everyone stopped talking and looked around cautiously.

The surrounding fog really became much larger, and the field of vision was further narrowed, and now, everyone could barely see the surrounding area of more than ten meters.

"My perception is failing."

Zhu Sha's face was slightly ugly.

"Mine too."

The students of the Second Academy also spoke.

"Don't panic, keep your position, don't mess up the formation...... We're not on flat ground right now, and it's not easy for us to capsize. Cheng Lin said, by the way, he made a joke that was not humorous.

His voice was calm, with a sense of tranquility that made people involuntarily relax.

With that, he looked down at the water ripples on the edge of the ice floe.

It was found that upon entering the area, the ice floes were moving almost against the current, which inevitably slowed down the travel speed.

Everyone was silent, nervous, and there was only the sound of the ice floe breaking through the water for a while.

The silence is terrible.

Suddenly, one of the team members exclaimed briefly.

As soon as everyone turned their heads to look, they only felt that the ice floes under their feet sank slightly, as if they had hit something.

Then, the bright light of the searchlight flashlight was concentrated.

"It's a ship, a very dilapidated ship!"

It was said.

It was indeed a wooden boat, not very large, just one of those inshore fishing boats, which could only accommodate a few people.

The ship was in tatters, the bottom was almost rotten, and all that was left was rusty metal and remnants of rotten wood that could barely be pieced together in a shape.

The boat was clearly coming downstream.

Immediately after the collision with the ice, there were some signs of disintegration.

As the ice floes continued to move forward, the wrecked ship finally fell apart completely, turning into a few tattered and damp pieces of wood that scattered on both sides.

"What's going on with this ship? They were clearly not used by dragon-like creatures. ”

Xiao Ningyu asked.

Cheng Lin pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Naturally, this was not used by the dragons, but should be the fishing and hunting tools of the dragon servants.

Although the island is not small in size, its resources are still limited, and considering the background of the end of the French era, the dragon servants cannot return to land, so they can only rely on fishing and hunting for food.

It's just that Cheng Lin was a little surprised that after so many years, the ship hadn't completely rotted away...... Well, it should be the effect of this ritual formation.

……

The fog was thick and the vision was obstructed.

Against the current, there was nothing around but the source of the searchlight.

The surroundings were unchanged, giving the students the illusion that they were not moving forward at all.

Only Xie Qingke, who maintained the existence of the ice floe, and the Second Academy student who was constantly creating thrust, could confirm that he was still sailing through the declining spiritual energy reserves in his body.

Strive against the stream.

I don't know how long it has been, it seems like a few minutes, and it seems like hours.

Finally, the sound of the ice floe colliding was heard again.

"Peng."

Cheng Lin and the others clearly sensed the vibration under their feet.

"What did you hit again?"

"Is it still a boat?"

Someone asked.

After a two-second pause, I got an unexpected answer: "We...... It seems to be docked. ”

Dock?

Cheng Lin looked over suspiciously, only to see that the front end of the ice floe was hitting a pitch-black, round stone.

The surrounding water is extremely shallow, covered with sand and gravel, and only the tail of the ice is still submerged.

The ice floe seems to have inadvertently climbed onto a beach.

"Don't move yet."

Song Xianzhen said a word, and then took out a glow stick from his backpack with his backhand.

It's the kind of thing that shines on itself and illuminates a certain area when thrown over.

He threw it forward, and the glowstick sank into the fog and disappeared, only to make a "click" sound, as if it had fallen to the ground.

Then, a little light shines through the fog to guide its landing.

"Everyone be careful to go ashore and don't separate!"

Seeing this, Cheng Lin said, jumped off the ice floe first, and walked forward.

It was dark and the fog obscured the last bit of starlight.

Even if the "wide-area vision" is turned on, Cheng Lin's vision is greatly limited.

With a dagger in one hand and a flashlight in the other, he cautiously explored his surroundings to make sure there was no danger.

Too much time had passed, and Cheng Lin didn't know what the island had become.

"Safety, the fog in front seems to have faded a lot."

Cheng Lin walked a few hundred meters inside, then turned around and said.

Everyone went ashore and found that it was indeed a beach-like terrain, empty, only stones.

After taking a few steps inside, I could clearly feel that the terrain was rising, which confirmed my previous speculation about the "island".

And the fog has indeed become a lot thinner.

With the help of lights, the field of view was restored to about fifty meters.

Then, to their surprise, a broken wall appeared in front of them.

"It's a ruin!"

Zhu Sha's tone was excited, and his eyes lit up.

Immediately, everyone took out their mobile phones and recorded them with the lights, while moving forward cautiously.

The walls are tattered and long.

In the darkness, there was an air of desolation.

Instead of rushing over it, they walked along the walls, trying to get a sense of the terrain.

After walking for a while, they suddenly stopped.

Here, a huge gap appeared in the city wall, and at the gap stood a tall arch, also dilapidated, with countless cracks on the surface, and grass and trees in the gaps were rampant.

"There seems to be words on it!"

Suddenly, Fu Zhongting keenly discovered that on the top of the arch, there were several quaint, strange and unfamiliar "words".

Cheng Lin looked up, he couldn't interpret it through knowledge without having obtained the "dragon language".

But he recognized the appearance of the two "words" - he had seen similar patterns.

Therefore, he instantly understood the meaning of these two words:

"Dragon City."
