Chapter 15: The Devil's North Wind Belt
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On the second day after leaving St. Hena Island, the Aurora entered the devil's northerly wind belt of the Aoro Strait, and the 10,000-ton giant ship officially entered the turbulent mode.
The Aoro Strait is the southernmost strait of the Ice Wasteland, and is the only way to enter the Northern Ice Wasteland from the Ewindara Islands. Only when he came to the Oro Strait by boat, Zhang Tie really knew why he wanted to enter the ice and snow wasteland only by boat, and the airship did not work here, the most direct reason was the terrifying devil north wind belt in the Oro Strait.
During his year in Qianlong Hall, Zhang Tie still learned something, at least, Zhang Tie had seen the reason for the formation of the devil's northerly wind belt in the Oro Strait from the geography book of Big 6 - this is the strong air convection and cyclone formed by the subtropical low pressure zone of the ice and snow wasteland and the subtropical high pressure zone of the Ewendala Islands.
The terrifying north wind comes from the exchange between different pressure zones on the planet, and because this communication never stops, the terrifying north wind that ravages the Oro Strait does not need to stop. Driven by such a strong north wind, the water of the Aoro Strait formed the fastest ocean current in the upper reaches of the entire Weiyi sub-large 6 - "Wasteland Drifting", and it is also because of this perennial north wind that the sky over the entire Oro Strait has also become a forbidden place for airships.
In this era, no airship can pass through this devil's north wind belt, maybe the aircraft before the cataclysm can, but for the airship, the huge body and limited height of the airship in the air are no different from the kite in the sky for this terrifying north wind belt, and any airship will only be blown south by the north wind here as soon as it gets close to this side, and it is impossible to fly to the ice and snow wasteland.
The devil's northerly wind belt in the Aoro Strait not only made this strait a forbidden place for all air vehicles in this era, but also in the sea, the progress of the Aurora that Zhang Tie was riding on became difficult. The Aurora, which sailed normally close to 18 knots, was on the second day, and in the oncoming waves that were more than 10 meters high, the degree of the entire ship suddenly dropped to about 10 knots.
While on the ship, Zhang Tie learned that the giant ship from St. Hena Island would have to travel for seven days at sea before it arrived at the southernmost city of Eskir in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, which is a window between the Ice and Snow Wasteland and the Ewindara Islands and the outside world, and is also the only city in the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland. Compared to the infinite expanse of the Ice Wasteland, the city of Eskil is not even a grain of sesame on a flatbread on the Frontiersmen's map.
The ticket Zhang Tie bought was the ordinary cabin of the Aurora, and for those who were going to be bumpy at sea for seven days, of course, everyone could not be stuffed in the cabin, so there were some places on the ship for everyone to have some fun during these seven days, such as restaurants, bars, and casinos!
The time on the ship was very boring, in addition to polishing the bright points and cultivating in the realm of soul tribulation, Zhang Tie occasionally walked out of his cabin to ventilate, eat something, and also see what the Oro Strait was like by the way.
During the few days on the ship, Zhang Tie met several new friends—Sam, Gerry, and Iller.
Sam and Gerry are two pioneers and good friends, and after hearing the news that the ruins and the Star of God have appeared in the Ice Wasteland, they come to the Ice Wasteland together to prepare for wealth and try their luck. Illa was a small, down-to-earth merchant who traded furs and food between the Icey Wastes and Ewendala.
The ordinary cabin where Zhang Tie lives is connected to the other three ordinary cabins, in addition to having its own independent space, it shares a small passage with the other three same ordinary cabins, and there is also a bathroom, which is a bit of a school dormitory, and after staying on the ship for two days, Zhang Tie met the other three people.
……
Under the impact of powerful spiritual power, the purple bright point was like a broken embankment in Zhang Tie's consciousness, and the purple light on the bright point flew everywhere, disappearing into Zhang Tie's body, and with the dissipation of the purple light, a little red starlight began to appear in the position of the bright point, and then burned like a torch.
In the warmth emanating from this bright point, Zhang Tie felt that the darkness that shrouded his body seemed to be dispelled again, and the fifteenth section of the spine counted from the tail vertebra was like a metal lock that had been opened, and there was a crisp sound when the card was released, and a crispy and numb feeling similar to ** would only have a refreshing feeling from the central nervous system of the spine, and it was transmitted to Zhang Tie's brain, making Zhang Tie almost can't help but hum.
The fifteenth bright spot on the spine was finally opened by Zhang Tie relying on his own spiritual power.
When the tingling sensation emanating from his spine completely disappeared, Zhang Tie, who let out a long breath, stood up from his bed, stretched his body, and casually received the pyramid crystal in his hand into the space of the Black Iron Castle.
Zhang Tie felt it, and now the strength of his body seemed to have increased a little, and the feeling between his limbs was more coordinated, and the position of the sea of qi where the soul fire had entered the body at the lower abdomen, that is, the place where the bright point of the Divine Palace illuminated, seemed to have a little more light and agile feeling, just like the originally solid mountain belly was dug up a few stubborn stones.
Since he began to ignite the fourteenth bright point, every time he lit a bright point, Zhang Tie felt that there would be a slight change in the sea of qi in his lower abdomen.
If it was when he was in Black Flame City, he would definitely not know what such a change meant, but at this moment, he understood that this was the prelude to gradually opening up the sea of qi in his body, and what was the biggest difference between a ninth-level warrior who had ignited at least thirty-four bright points and a tenth-level strong warrior who had ignited at least fifty-five bright points - that is, in addition to igniting all the bright points on his spine, a tenth-level strong warrior was also opening up a sea of qi.
The Sea of Qi - the sea of battle qi, that is the source of the strength of a warrior.
The difference between a tenth-level strong warrior who has opened up a sea of qi and an ordinary ninth-level warrior is decisive, and the disparity in its combat power and physical essence can be seen from the number of bright points between the two sides, that it has passed the combination of the combat power of a first-level warrior to an eighth-level warrior, that is, from this time on, the gap between each level has truly become an insurmountable moat for ordinary people. The value of some of the awakened top ancestor bloodlines among the Chinese clan was slowly revealed at this time.
Zhang Tie knew that his current strength was still a big distance from the tenth-level strong warriors who had opened up the sea of qi, and for a long time in the future, almost two years, he would not be able to open up the sea of qi.
Forty bright points, each bright point has seven layers of barriers, adding up to two hundred and eighty layers of barriers, one non-leaking fruit can break the three-layer barrier, calculated, even if there are no accidents, there is no other consumption of non-leaking fruits, and if you eat no leaky fruits, you need to eat at least ninety-three to advance to level ten.
Ninety-three unleaked fruits take ninety-three weeks to grow, which is six hundred and fifty-one days, or almost one year and ten months.
And at this moment, I don't have any clue about the most critical advanced cultivation between the ninth and tenth levels, the cultivation content after the ninth level, especially the part that ignites the bright point, even if it is on Qianlong Island, is also a secret legend in the secret tradition, in addition to the need for a huge family contribution point, the level must reach the ninth level, and it also needs to go through a strict review to be eligible for contact and learning, so far, I have not met the conditions in several aspects, so naturally I am not qualified to contact.
It is very possible to be promoted from level seven to level ten within two years, which is already a rocket for others, but for Zhang Tie, it still feels a bit slow, because the so-called ninth level and tenth level, in the eyes of many real masters, can be regarded as the initial stage of cultivation. That's what his master said to himself.
Zhang Tie knew very well that in the later stage, as the number of bright points that need to be ignited at each advanced level is increasing geometrically, the promotion of the non-leakage fruit on his own advancement will be relatively slow, and the holy war is already imminent......
Carefully calculating the time, he hadn't entered the Black Iron Castle for more than two weeks, and after these two weeks of accumulation, there should be two more non-leaking fruits on the small tree in the Black Iron Castle.
Zhang Tie stretched his body in the narrow cabin slightly, and was about to enter the Black Iron Fort with all his might, eat the two non-leaking fruits, and break the sixth-layer barrier on his spine, when his mind had just moved, and the hatch door where he was was knocked on.
"Bang bang bang, Peter, not ......"
As soon as he heard this voice, Zhang Tie gave up the idea of entering the Black Iron Castle, smiled a little helplessly, and then opened the hatch.
Outside the hatch, there were two guys who were also ten ** years old, who looked only a little older than Zhang Tie, and who were also dressed as pioneers. The one on the left of the two is slightly fatter and has a conspicuous lilac head, while the one on the right is slightly thinner and slightly taller, with brown skin, a black head, a tall nose, and sparkling eyes.
"Are you really there?" Seeing Zhang Tie open the door, the slightly fatter guy screamed.
"Is there anything wrong, Sam?" Zhang Tie still asked good-naturedly, not at all unhappy because he was disturbed.
"I haven't seen you out of the hatch since yesterday afternoon, it's going to be stuffy, Gerry and I are going to dinner, so I'm here to call you!" After saying this, Semu stared at Zhang Tie's face and looked at it seriously, "Why is your face a little red, it can't be sick, right?" ”
"Ah, no, I'm just sleeping!" Zhang Tie snorted and said, just lit a bright point, and the qi and blood of the body were stimulated, so his face would look a little red in a short time, as if he had just finished exercising, but there was no need to publicize this kind of thing, so as not to stimulate these two guys.
Sem is only level four now, and Gerry is a little better, and he has just stepped into level five, which is already extremely good among pioneers of their age.
"Sleep?" Gerry looked at Zhang Tie's room, which was so small that he could only put down a bed and a table, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "It won't be a person doing strange things in the room, I know, a person is really boring, and when he does that kind of thing, he can't help but be excited, understand, understand, but staying in the room alone for too long will be bad for his health!" ”
"What did you say?" Zhang Tie asked with some questions.
Then Gerry held one hand empty, moved up and down, and did a movement that 99 percent of men understand, "If it's too boring, let's go to the casino for dinner, I heard that there are a lot of beautiful women there, that guy Illa won more than two gold coins in the casino yesterday, and the ticket is almost half earned." I went to the casino early this morning, and now I'm back to see him! ”
Zhang Tie laughed, scratched his head, he didn't expect that he had been cultivating in the room alone for too long and it would be misunderstood, well, this is indeed strange, it is better to come out for a walk, breathe, anyway, where is the fruit of the small tree, it will be the same when you come back to eat it at night, and you will not run away without leaking fruit.
"Alright, let's go!" As he spoke, Zhang Tie casually locked the hatch of his room, and then walked out of the not spacious passage connecting the room on their side, with the non-slip pattern steel plates under his feet exposed, and came outside.
"I heard that the upstairs VIP cabin room is much better than ours here, the room is similar to the private room of a high-end hotel, the floor of the corridor is still carpeted, and there is a club in the VIP area? The bartender in the club I met yesterday, it was a golden beauty, alas, and wearing the ears of a bunny girl......" Sam said enviously as he walked, "When we have money, what is it like to try to live in a VIP cabin in the future!" That way, I won't be as tired as I am running around every day in the future! ”
Gerry laughed suddenly, "When you have the money and are willing to spend one or twenty gold coins to make a boat, do you still have to run around all day to pioneer the land?" ”
"Yes, what are we going to do in the wilderness when we have money!" Sam reacted at once and patted himself on the head. "Gerry, what kind of life do you think you want to live with money?"
"When I have money, of course, I will get a bunch of beautiful girls to raise in the castle, and use them as seeders every day, striving to reproduce and create a great family!"
Zhang Tie also smiled, these two guys are quite cute.
"Peter, what about you?"
"Me?" Zhang Tie pointed to his nose.
"Yes, even if we are pioneers, we must have dreams!"
Dream? Zhang Tie thought of his dream of lying on a pile of gold coins and watching a bunch of beautiful women shed tears in front of him when he was dying, and shook his head in his heart, everyone has thought about such a day, but in this fucking era, it is the right way to think about how to live.
"If I can live in peace, my dream is similar to that of Gerry!" Zhang Tie said honestly.
"Ha, you're too pessimistic, aren't you, do you just want to live? The casualty rate of the pioneers is not very high, and this time in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, if there are really city ruins, we just need to follow the large army and see the benefits and get a piece of the pie, it should be fine! Sam comforted Zhang Tie and said.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered!" Gerry patted his chest proudly.
"Thank you!" Zhang Tie said with a smile.
"We're friends!"
……
Facts have proved that Zhang Tie's so-called idea of "living in peace and stability" is not superfluous at all, especially in this era, especially in this mysterious sea.
A few people had just had a very ordinary dinner in the ordinary restaurant on the ship, and the whistle on the Aurora suddenly sounded at a certain rapid and short specific frequency, very harsh, like an alarm, when they heard this sound, whether it was Zhang Tie or Sam or Gerry, they didn't understand what this sound meant at first.
However, before a few people could ask someone, a twisted voice with terrified horror was already screaming in the restaurant.
"Level 1 alert, a large dangerous creature is approaching the ship, please take care of something around you that can fix your body......"
As soon as the words fell, the hull of the Aurora shook violently, and many tableware in the restaurant flew to the ground at once...... (To be continued...!)
