Chapter 164: The New World
In the evening of the next day, before nightfall, under the command of Sikong Qingyan, thirty ironclad warships, in battle formation, sailed out of the Stars Point.
For this trip, the goal of Sikong Qingyan is very clear.
First, go to Pingliu Island to quell the chaos. Regardless of whether there is still the remains of the Hades on Pingliu Island, she has to turn over the entire Pingliu Island to comfort Sikong Qinghou's spirit in the sky.
Second, head to Tosendai. The secret purpose is to take the ice jade goblin, and Akari wants to show the people of the Xingyao Empire the heroism of this new generation of kings.
Ding Qin was in the ranks and had a single battleship. On the ship, in addition to him, He Yan and Fat Dun, Sikong Qingyan also temporarily equipped them with seven sailors and eight attendants. Indeed, if only the two of them and a wolf are used, it is still very difficult to take care of a big boat.
The fleet was moving at full speed, and in a few days, it had reached the waters off Pingliu Island. The * here has long drifted with the ocean currents and doesn't know where it went, and the ship brought by Sikong Qinghou is still there.
After seeing a fleet coming, what was surprising was that there was still someone on the ship who sent a signal.
"Someone else is still alive! Close at full speed!" Sikong Qingyan's eyes flashed with a little excitement, but also with some hope.
But when their men boarded the ship, there was little hope left. Indeed, there were people alive on the ship, but there were only seven of them. Moreover, all seven of them were seriously injured.
According to them, after Ding Qin and the others left, they continued to fight bitterly with the subordinates of the Hades. Hades's subordinates are large on the island, and they basically go in waves. It's just that, due to the loss of the command of the Immortal King, their attack began to become loose.
The prince's guard is also an elite force in the army. With their tenacious perseverance, with the defense of this ironclad ship, they repelled wave after wave of attacks and have persevered until now.
After listening to them, Sikong Qingyan's eyes were slightly red. She instructed the team doctor to treat the seven people well, and told them that they were going to go back to be promoted to the rank of knight, and then immediately ordered to organize three elite teams to directly land on the island for a carpet search.
In three days, the entire Pingliu Island was indeed turned over by Sikong Light Smoke. On the island, there are still more than 160 remnants of the Hades King, and there are 38 fortifications, all of which were destroyed by her. After that, the living sinners were brought back to the ship to be judged after returning to the Star Empire, and the dead were thrown directly into the sea.
After completing the chaos on Stratoke Island, Sikong Qingyan's mood seemed to be a lot lighter. During this period, Ding Qin stayed on the ship and did not participate in this matter.
He knew that without his involvement, Sikong Qingyan would win.
Moreover, it may be that Sikong Qingyan does not need and does not want him to participate. This is a matter for their royal family, and naturally it should be settled by the royal family themselves.
After the fleet rested for a day, Sikong Light Smoke prepared to continue sailing. Previously, Ding Qin let everyone on his ship leave and said goodbye to Sikong Qingyan.
He waited for the men to leave, and then sailed on his own route.
He didn't want anyone to write down his own route, follow him on adventures, or bring back some unknown troubles.
When the last ship disappeared from view, Ding Qin turned to He Yan and said calmly, "It's time for us to go." ”
He Yan frowned, "Let's go, I was going to leave, why are you so grinding." ”
Ding Qin was stunned.
He Yan didn't seem to talk to herself like this for a while.
Come to think of it, before she came to the Star Empire, she had always been like this.
And when the Star Empire, especially after Sikong Qingyan appeared, she behaved extremely gentle and reasonable.
But now, why did it suddenly change back to the original sharp and crisp style?
Is it because there are only two of them left?
He shook his head, this woman is really not easy to understand.
Ding Qin took a deep breath, determined the course, found the spot in the circular current of Stratoke Island, and sailed the boat out.
This walk is nearly two months.
In the first two weeks, the sea conditions that the ship passed through were quite reinforcing, and there were all kinds of sea monsters from time to time, and the most powerful one smashed a hole in the deck of the ship. Fortunately, the monster was basically just warning and driving away, and didn't really attack, so after leaving its range, it didn't continue to chase.
Two weeks later, the sea conditions on the route improved significantly. The ocean currents gradually stabilized, and the number of monsters decreased significantly. This went on for two weeks.
By the seventh week, the sea conditions had taken a turn for the worse. All kinds of monsters are infested, the ocean currents are extremely unstable, the bottom of the sea is full of reefs, and the weather also has storms from time to time.
This week is the most difficult week for Ding Qin and He Yan.
However, it was also a week of growth for them.
During this week, Ding Qin and He Yan continued to fight against different types of demonic beasts, and their cultivation was promoted by one level each. Especially He Yan, after obtaining the cultivation method specially optimized for her by the bone soul, the cultivation improvement speed has been significantly accelerated.
On the ninth day of entering the complex sea area, the wind was fierce and the waves were raging. Ren is this ironclad warship, and it sways like a leaf in the sea. Ding Qin and He Yan did their best to stabilize the battleship, and as for the course, they were already a little careless.
One night later, the storm departed. According to the compass and astrological signs, they seemed to have been off course for hundreds of miles. And after them, the storm was still raging in the sea at that location.
"Thankfully, it's still in time. Ding Qin slowly exhaled a breath, and his heart was a lot more relaxed. Following the route map, he carefully adjusted the course of the ship and continued on his way.
What surprised him was that out of the storm, the sea area here was unusually stable.
After sailing for another day, He Yan suddenly shouted excitedly on the deck. Ding Qin was inspecting the ship's machinery at this time, and immediately caught up when he heard it, "What's wrong?"
"Look, look, look ahead!" He Yan pointed to a sea, "Look there!"
Ding Qin was puzzled. In the direction she was pointing, it was just a sea of water, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. But the habitual vigilance immediately floated from the bottom of my heart, "What's the matter, there are demonic beasts?"
"You're a demonic beast. He Yan was a little dissatisfied with Ding Qin's performance, but she thought about it and handed over the binoculars, "Look at it carefully, look carefully." ”
Ding Qin took the binoculars and zoomed in again, and there seemed to be something floating on the sea.
Upon closer inspection, it was a piece of wood with fresh leaves on it.
"Is there a tree floating over? Could it be that we are already close to land?" Ding Qin took out the navigation chart, calculated according to the deviated course, and nodded, "Well, that's right, it's really about to get closer." ”
He Yan obviously couldn't stop her excitement now, "Great, great, it's finally going ashore." ”
Ding Qin's heart also swelled with joy.
After two months of drifting at sea and all kinds of tribulations, he has long had a longing for land. Sometimes, even when the two of them see an isolated island at sea, they will slowly lean up and go up to rest for a while.
And how can you not be excited when the two-month voyage is finally coming to an end?
He Yan had already started planning there, "After I go ashore, I will first find a place to take a good bath, then have a good meal, sleep well, and wake up, I will go shopping, buy some new clothes, and see new things......"
Her plan seemed to be perfect, which made Ding Qin can't help but yearn for it.
It's just that Ding Qin has more worries in his heart.
Because they don't know what this Chiyan Mountain will be like.
So far, they don't have the slightest bit of information.
What if, after going up, there are no bathhouses, no restaurants, no inns, no bazaars, no novelties, only all kinds of dangers?
Ding Qin thought of this, but didn't say it. He couldn't bear to extinguish He Yan's hope at this time, and even to a certain extent, he didn't want to extinguish his hope.
The sky gradually darkened, and the gods of the two blurred. They had not seen the land until it was dark. However, the increase in floating debris on the surface of the sea suggests that the land is really getting closer.
After setting the course, Ding Qin and He Yan all returned to the cabin. Although neither of them expressed it, the excitement in their hearts made the two masters not sleep well.
Especially Ding Qin.
In addition to his longing for land, he also misses his father.
If you find Chiyan Mountain, will you find your father's whereabouts?
Although he was not sure, he knew that this was a real and substantial step in the search for his father.
When the sun rose the next day, the two of them arrived on the deck.
In their eyes, a continent appeared.
That's right, a continent.
It's not a mountain at all, or an island. Judging from the visual inspection alone, the area of this continent can reach at least one-third of the Star Empire.
And on their side, there is a very large beach. The golden yellow color of the sand contrasts sharply with the seawater.
Within the beach, where there may be some distance, is the green jungle. At least, from this position, there is no trace of a mountain.
Is this really Chiyan Mountain? But what about the mountain?
Ding Qin looked at the chart again and made sure that it was marked here.
But obviously, a mountain is marked on the map.
However, he did not delve into this. Perhaps, on the chart, it is easier to locate and label such shapes and names.
The boat slowly approached the beach. Eventually, at a distance from the beach, Ding Qin dropped anchor.
He couldn't let the boat go to the beach. In that case, although the inertia of the ship can land smoothly, the ship will also enter a state of grounding, and if you really want to use this ship to leave, it will be troublesome.
After making sure that there were no monsters in the sea, the two of them put down the dinghy and paddled to the beach.
It's a good feeling to step on land!
Not only He Yan, but Ding Qin also felt a burst of joy in his heart. Fat Dun jumped a few times on the beach, and then looked up to the sky and howled.
In the process of adaptation, Ding Qin constantly used a telescope to observe the surrounding situation. Soon, his expression became serious again.
He Yan noticed the change in his expression and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
