Chapter 721: The Strange Thing in the Shura Sea
How big is the Shura Sea? This is not clear from the wind, but judging from the map, the distance between the continent of Mu and the continent of Atlantis can be at least a thousand nautical miles according to the scale of modern Earth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Judging from the speed of artificial rowing in this world, even if it is rowing day and night, I am afraid it will take two days to cross this Shura Sea.
After learning about this approximate time, they simply calmed down and enjoyed sitting on the boat.
Although the wooden boat they were on was old, it was not small, and after holding some goods, the remaining space was completely suitable for a dozen or so people to sleep, and there was no crowding at all.
There were hundreds of wooden boats in the fleet, but so many wooden boats rowed in an orderly manner, and it can be seen that these boatmen had plenty of sailing experience.
On their wooden boats, the rower was the old boatman. Don't look at the old people, but the degree of fitness is not lost to the young people, the lower body is covered with burlap trousers, but the upper body is like a few rags worn casually, and the exposed chest and abdomen reveal a little solid muscle.
He propped up a long penny and poked into the water one by one, and the wooden boat sailed quickly and steadily forward under his operation, maintaining a relative balance with the other ships.
Beside the old boatman, there were two young men, both holding oars, but they did not come forward to help, but chatted with each other, talking and laughing at the scenery.
Lifeng is a little puzzled, but the stranger is still to come. The old boatman rowed hard for a while, and after about two hours he stopped, and then gave the rower's seat to a young man, and smoked a dry cigarette himself.
And the young man seemed to not like to work, and there was a little rowing, and he was even in the mood to chat with another young man.
In this way, the speed of the wooden boat naturally slowed down greatly, and Lifeng looked at the fleet, and found that the entire fleet was a mold, and the speed had all decreased, where was there any momentum to force the Shura Sea.
Lifeng really couldn't figure it out, so he asked directly: "Master, why did the fleet suddenly slow down?" ”
There are also Yuan Li, who have this question, and after hearing the inquiry, they all stopped chatting, and looked at the old boatman.
The title of "master" is already very common in the modern world, and aside from the real master-apprentice relationship, for unnamed skilled workers, the honorific title is "master".
However, the old boatman didn't know this, and he replied with a smile: "If you look at the surrounding boats, you can see that all the main forces of rowing have been replaced, not to slow down, but to conserve physical strength, and to concentrate on the outbreak in that section of the devil's sea, which is the sea area that is really to be forced!" ”
"Devil's Sea?" The few people from the wind looked at each other, and the word reminded them of the Bermuda Delta of the modern earth, also known as the Devil's Sea.
"Master, we don't know much about the Shura Sea and the Devil's Sea, can you tell us about it?" Lifeng then asked. He had already planned to ask this question on the coast, but he didn't have the opportunity at that time.
The old boatman took a few puffs of dry tobacco, looked at the birds passing in the sky, and said leisurely: "Of course, it's not a secret. There is nothing terrible about the Shura Sea as a whole, its terrible place is just a devilish sea area in the central area, but whenever a ship passes by, a series of strange things will happen, and it is scary! ”
This statement and phenomenon are really similar to the waters of Bermuda. While Lifeng was pondering, Yuan Li continued to ask: "What's the strange thing, let's hear it." ”
Referring to the strange things in the Devil's Sea, the old boatman took a few more puffs of dry smoke, and after a while, he said: "There is no pattern in the strange things that occur in the Devil's Sea, and it is impossible to say what will happen. There have been large fleets of ships that have been completely covered in seaweed, and there have also been cases where swirling currents suddenly appear on the surface of the sea, swallowing up a large number of ships. There are even strange ships that suddenly appeared, broke into the fleet, and smashed many ships, but when they came back to their senses, the strange ships had disappeared. ”
Speaking of this, the old boatman paused, and after thinking for a moment, he continued: "There is another bizarre thing, a fleet sailed normally in the Shura Sea, sailing through that devil's sea area, and nothing strange happened at that time, but the destination it arrived at was the north of the Mu continent by mistake!" At that time, the Northern Pluto Divine Beast didn't know what it was doing, and it set off a monstrous wave in the Beiming Sea, so that the entire fleet of people was brought back to the Beiming Sea by the big waves, and they have not been able to come back until now. ”
The people of Mu Continent are already familiar with these strange things, but it is the first time they have heard of them in Lifeng, and they can't help but be a little surprised and shocked. Among them, the shock of the Northern Pluto Divine Beast was the most, after all, when they left this world, they might still have to pass through the Beiming Sea.
The old boatman didn't seem to look at Lifeng's expressions, and continued to burst the news: "In addition, one thing I once experienced made me a little panicked when I think about it now!" At that time, I was in a large fleet of ships, with more than 50 crew members on board, and they were all vigilant when they passed through the Devil's Sea, but nothing strange happened until they were rowed out of the Devil's Sea. I thought we were lucky this time, but just as we were about to relax, we found that there was an extra person on the bow! ”
"One more...... Who is it? Manli asked with some trepidation.
The old boatman said, "It was a woman dressed in red, wet, with her head bowed all the time, and her long black hair rippling in front of her shoulders, standing motionless at the bow of the boat. At that time, we were nervous, and when we saw this strange woman appear, we were all very frightened, especially her red clothes, which were as if they were dyed with human blood, terrifying! ”
This kind of experience, they have actually encountered similar things in Lifeng, but in the mouth of the old boatman, they still have a feeling of fear. However, they did not interrupt and continued to listen.
The old boatman took a few puffs of dry tobacco and continued: "I was proud and bold, and I went up with courage and asked her who she was. But just as I was about to touch her, she suddenly raised her head, and at that moment, I found that she had no eyes, nose and mouth on her face, and her whole face was pale and white! ”
Speaking of this, the old boatman trembled almost subconsciously, and after coming back to his senses, he said: "Her head was raised so suddenly, I really had no defense, and I was so frightened that I almost fainted!" However, fortunately, nothing happened at that time, and the woman in red quickly disappeared. We thought it was just an ordinary strange thing, although we were afraid, but we didn't take it to heart, on the contrary, we were glad that no one died on this trip. However, we were too early for joy, and when we landed on the dock on the Atlantis mainland, as soon as the dozens of people on our ship came ashore, more than thirty people suddenly died violently! ”
