Chapter 322: A group of behemoths suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea
Nie Zheng stood on the deck, his brows furrowed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking up at the sky, the sky was still overcast, the black pressure was a little dull, and the calm sea was without wind and waves, like a huge piece of transparent glass, dead and dull without any life of the sea.
What a weird sea, as if ...... Dead in general.
"Damn, what the hell, what the hell is this sea area, why is it that when you get here, all the navigation and detection equipment on the ship is out of order."
Nie Zheng sighed deeply, took out the navigation map again, and studied it carefully, to see if he could find a route out of this "Dead Sea" from it.
According to the markings on the map, this Dead Sea seems to be connected to the Wind and Thunder Sea, and as long as you pass through this Dead Sea, you can find the Wind and Thunder Sea.
However, according to the map marking, the area of this Dead Sea is very large, and the wind and thunder sea area where the legend hides the "Immortal Island" is located in the center of this Dead Sea.
The entire periphery of the Thunder Sea is enveloped in this strange and calm Dead Sea.
Looking at the strange Dead Sea in front of him, Nie Zheng muttered to himself.
"This silent sea area is too weird, if there is no accurate course, the destroyer will enter it is very likely to keep going around in circles in this sea area, and it is even possible to pass by the wind and thunder in the center of the Dead Sea, now all the navigation and orientation equipment on the ship is out of order, and the destroyer is completely blind here, hey, it's not a way to go on like this, it's really a special fuck! ……”
Counting yesterday, Nie Zheng's destroyer had entered the Dead Sea for thirty-six hours.
During these thirty hours, although the destroyer maintained its maximum speed, it never made it out of the Dead Sea, let alone found anything out of the ordinary.
By this morning, Nie Zheng was beginning to wonder if the destroyer had begun to circle around in this sea area.
No one can answer this question.
He just wants to go back the same way now, and it is estimated that it will be a little difficult.
Because, the sea in this area is overcast, and the sun in the sky is not visible at all.
Except for the night, during the day, this sea is so gloomy that you can't tell what time of day it is, whether it is morning or afternoon, the light is always so gloomy and dim.
Fortunately, there is a mechanical clock in Nie Zheng's cabin, because it is not an electronic device, it is not affected by this sea area at all, and Nie Zheng can clearly know what time it is.
Being able to know the time accurately may be the only thing Nie Zheng feels fortunate about at the moment.
Since all the high-tech navigation and orientation equipment on the destroyer has failed, Nie Zheng can only send the crew to observe with the naked eye.
Several crew members, all of them stood on the observation platform at the top of the ship, holding navigation binoculars, constantly observing the sea around the destroyer to see if they could find anything.
Nie Zheng sat on the smooth side of the boat, looking down at the calm sea, looking at his shadow reflected in the water, feeling a little anxious.
Being trapped in this dead sea for nearly two days will be a little impatient if it is anyone, and Nie Zheng is not a particularly patient person.
In an irritable mood, Nie Zheng began to think wildly.
"Am I too whimsical? Where is the Immortal City so easy to find? If you were able to enter the Immortal City so smoothly, it is estimated that the seven-colored spirit fruit in it would have been taken away long ago! Now trapped here, in a dilemma, what a trouble! ”
"Hey...... Hongyu is ruined for my meridians, if I can't successfully obtain the seven-colored spirit fruit back, I am afraid that she will also become a weak waste, she has fallen into such a miserable appearance in order to protect me, no matter what, I have to find the immortal city and bring the seven-colored spirit fruit back to her......"
"But after entering this strange Dead Sea, I really have no choice, what should I do......"
Just when Nie Zheng was thinking nonsense, suddenly, an observer standing on the top of the ship suddenly said loudly: "Report sir, on the sea surface five kilometers to the left of the destroyer, a group of huge unidentified objects suddenly appeared, and at this time, that group of unidentified objects is swimming towards our destroyer. ”
"Unidentified object?"
"They're like...... It seems to be a bit similar to a whale! ”
"Whales?"
Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment, hurriedly picked up the binoculars, and looked in the direction pointed by the observer.
Sure enough, I saw dozens of gray-brown giant fins on the calm sea a few kilometers away.
Just looking at the fins that appeared on the surface of the sea, Nie Zheng felt that this was a group of huge whales, of course, this was his first subjective impression after seeing it.
Because apart from whales at sea, Nie Zheng really couldn't think of any other marine creature that could have such a huge flipper.
However, things can't be inferred according to common sense, after all, this is a strange otherworldly antiquity, even dragon pythons, water monkeys, giant bats...... These strange beasts and fierce beasts all exist, so it is not surprising that some extraordinary strange beasts and monsters appear in the ocean.
With the help of the telescope in his hand, Nie Zheng observed carefully.
The parade of those "whales" was not very fast, and it was estimated that the speed was about the same as that of a destroyer.
In order to find out what they were, Nie Zheng ordered the destroyer to slow down, and at the same time, the crew on the destroyer was all ready for battle.
What torpedoes, cannons, bazookas...... and other heavy firepower weapons, all armed.
In this strange Dead Sea, Nie Zheng must be vigilant, in the face of a group of giant fish swimming, it is more reliable to take precautions, in case the group of "whales" see that the destroyer is not pleasing to the eye, and are ready to attack the destroyer, although they can't help the destroyer weighing four or five thousand tons, but it doesn't look troublesome.
Soon.
As this group of "whales" got closer and closer to the destroyer, Nie Zheng, who boarded the observation platform, finally saw their whole picture clearly.
"Wow, what a big bunch of whales!" Nie Zheng lost his voice and marveled.
This group of whales that floated their fins out to the surface of the sea are extremely large, each of them is more than ten meters long, and it is estimated that they weigh dozens of tons casually.
"Huh? Why do they still have birds on their backs? ”
Suddenly, Nie Zheng was surprised to find that this group of whales was floating on the back of the fins on the surface of the sea, and there were many red-headed seabirds crouching on them.
These seabirds are red-headed and white-feathered, petite in size, and according to Nie Zheng's visual inspection, it is estimated that they are at most the size of sparrows.
I saw these red-headed seabirds, standing on the fins and backs of the giant whale piecemeal, constantly pecking at the dead skin and parasites on the back of the giant whale.
"When I was on Earth in the past, I used to hear about birds cleaning crocodiles and rhinos of parasites from their mouths and skin, but when did whales start to get together with birds? It's really the biggest in the world, and there are no surprises! ”
Nie Zheng observed for a long time, and the group of giant whales carrying red-headed seabirds finally swam a few hundred meters away from the destroyer.
Fortunately, the whales were docile, and they were not at all hostile to the destroyers that appeared nearby, on the contrary, they actually swam along the sides of the destroyers in groups, and from time to time they spewed thick columns of water into the sky.
When this group of whales came to him, Nie Zheng finally saw clearly.
Judging from their appearance in the water, they do look a bit like the common whales in previous lives, but they have several long gill slits on their backs, which are not found in ordinary fish.
What's even more bizarre is that the red-headed seabirds crouching on the back of the giant whale, they don't seem to be afraid of the whale at all, and they keep burrowing in and out of its huge "gill slits", squeaking and screaming, looking very happy.
After a few minutes, the giant whale, with its red-headed seabirds, gradually overtook the destroyer and swam towards the sea ahead.
Looking at their departing backs, Nie Zheng suddenly felt that he had discovered something.
"Red-headed seabirds? With so many red-headed seabirds, they can't stay on the whale's back all the time, and besides, the whale can't stay on the surface all the time! Seabirds need to breed and nest, so they have to find land to do so! ”
"It's spring, it's the season for animals to mate and lay eggs, and the giant whales carry so many seabirds, is it to help them cross the ocean and go to a special place to lay eggs?"
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng raised his head and looked ahead again.
Suddenly, the group of giant whales floating on the surface of the sea, they all let out an unusually loud chirp, and then sank neatly to the bottom.
Just as the whales chirped, all the red-headed seabirds crouching on the fins of the giant whales screamed and flapped their wings, and then flew towards the sea in front of them.
These red-headed seabirds do not fly very fast, estimated to be 50 or 60 kilometers per hour at most.
Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly ordered the crew: "Sail at full speed, follow the flock of birds in front, where they go, we will go." ”
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving Nie Zheng's order, the destroyer started at full speed and sailed at full speed.
Thousands of red-headed birds, they fly over the sea, just like the blue sea, suddenly blooming a piece of rhododendron, very beautiful.
Nie Zheng stood on the deck, looking at the red-headed seabirds that had been flying in front of him, for some reason, he faintly felt in his heart that this group of red-headed seabirds should have gone to Changsheng Immortal Island to nest and breed.
As long as you follow them, you should sail out of this eerie Dead Sea.
In this way, Nie Zheng's destroyer kept following behind the flock of birds, sailing forward unswervingly.
Every half an hour, the whales float to the surface, and then the red-headed seabirds rest on their fins to rest, and the whales surface for more than ten minutes, and then sink to the bottom, and then the red-headed seabirds continue to flap their wings......
