Although it was July, the water was still icy.

Under the icy moon, in the dark sea, hundreds of ships are quietly moored.

After the new era, the ocean lost its ability to store temperature, and the sea breeze was often not strong, but without the obstruction of mountain cliffs and land, it often turned cold.

If it weren't for the power of the sea god, I'm afraid that the ocean, which has been below zero all year round, has turned into a frozen plain.

Due to the unusually cold waters, fishermen often choose to fish in the waters close to the city, but at this moment, the dark deep sea, which was once lonely, the unknown sea of the East China Sea, has welcomed strange visitors.

There are hundreds of ships, large and small, including the Loulan giant ship with a floor square, the steam ship with the ironclad giant ship, and the small plank that can only sit three or two people.

Above each ship, there is a ball of light composed of light magic, providing the most basic illumination, perhaps, enough to tell the story.

Since the day before yesterday, ships have been coming to this sea area, and most of the ships have not broken the light technique, but has become brighter and brighter.

Although the consumption of first-level soul skills is not high, the one who can achieve long-term sustainability is at least a professional night watchman with abundant soul power.

In an old fishing boat, Jiang Shang was sipping hot tea to keep warm, while his soul attendants were playing mahjong together.

There is no need for shili and electricity, when mahjong is an ancient game, in the new era quickly moved towards shijie......

Obviously didn't put on a cold-proof cloak, but Qi Li'er, Sun Hongling, and Luna sisters didn't feel the cold wind, and they were killing time by themselves, while he and Si Luer, wearing cloaks and drinking hot tea to ward off the cold, still felt that it was terribly cold.

I'm still haode.,Light a flame on the surface of the body every once in a while.。 To get rid of the cold, and Siluer, who was getting more and more unaccustomed to the cold, leaned on the chair and fell asleep, his lips were black and his body surface was cold, and he was constantly sleepy, and he was about to hibernate.

"It seems that it will not work. Sun Hongling! ”

Sun Hongling, who was killing at the poker table, didn't reply, and threw the wine gourd over casually.

Jiang Shang took a sip of wine under his tongue and said a word silently in his heart, and then. Above the fishing boat, a quietly burning orange-red fireball floated in the air.

The warmth of the sun, while illuminating this sea boat, made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Even a professional night watchman can only get used to enduring the cold, not like it.

"Sure enough, there must still be a lighthouse in the team, especially Ah Shang's soul light is particularly warm. It's so comfortable to look at people. ”

While the effect of the sun's choice far exceeds that of ordinary one-star soul skills, the consumption will also increase with the range and intensity, illuminating and warming a fishing boat, according to Jiang Shang's soul power. It can only last for 3 or 4 hours a day at most, and even if it is considered the soul power replenishment energy of the Monkey King Wine, it will be 6 or 7 hours at most.

Stand up and stomp your feet. Qi Lier couldn't help nodding, but Sun Hongling on the side laughed out loud.

Although the boy's soul color was also surprisingly warm in the lighthouse, he said so every time he activated his soul technique. Little pony, you. Sun Hongling was accustomed to releasing her poisonous tongue, but she clicked on the notepad on the deck.

"By the way, don't think that you can repay the account by changing the topic, and my next three night shifts will be handed over to you."

"Mine twice." Lulu mending the knife.

"Once, O(∩_∩)O" Luna who continues to mend the knife.

Qi Lier, who failed to change the topic and failed to repay the debt, wanted to cry without tears, and was on duty six times, which means that she could not rest at night for a week.

These days, Jiang Shang has some understanding of the shijie of the night watchman, the shijie outside is extremely dangerous, even in the relative safety of the sea, Luna and the others are still very consciously on duty.

But obviously, it is obviously not a good errand to be alone by guarding the campfire while others are sleeping peacefully.

As a result, when the game to pass the time does not want to involve money, these duties have become the most haode bets, and obviously, at this moment, Qi Lier's luck is not very good.

But in Jiang Shang's view, this mahjong is obviously wrong, Sun Hongling's hand is outrageous, faintly like electricity, there seems to be signs of changing cards.

And the pattern of the mahjong in Lulu's hand is also changing, for those who are good at revising and changing the change of the soul power, it is too simple to modify the pattern on a mahjong.

As for Luna, she is even more outrageously recurring to start directly with Tianhu, crushing the audience with inexplicable strong luck.

When looking from behind, when six whiteboards and seven Dongfang appeared in the hands of the three of them, Jiang Shang was completely confirmed, obviously, they were all cheating.

But he didn't say anything, after all, Qi Lier was the first to be caught, and then there was a competition for thousands of people, since they like to play, they don't have any plans to take care of current affairs.

“…… I know that Weishenme has never won playing cards and mahjong with her before, and Xiao Laoqian deserves a lesson when he encounters a big gambler. Terrific help her on duty once or twice and give her a break. ”

"How much longer? We've been waiting in this ocean for almost twenty hours. ”

He asked about the hired fisherman, and the old fisherman pointed to the deck with a trembling body, dipped his index finger in some saliva, and tried it in the sea breeze before he came to a conclusion.

"It's coming, it's coming, it could come at any time."

Nodding, Jiang Shang relieved himself.

It's been the third day since we left Hemming City, and we're running out of supplies.

According to the prior agreement, I and my party, in this inexplicable sea area, waited for the gate to Penglai, one of the legendary three immortal mountains overseas.

It's been more than a day in this cold and dark sea, and the others seem to be very good at waiting, but he and Siluer can't bear it anymore.

"It turns out that it will be so uncomfortable to leave the solar furnace."

Just lost the visible light and sunlight, only more than two days, I have begun to be a little unable to tolerate this boundless darkness, not only physical cold, but also psychologically uncomfortable.

"As far as the eye can see, it is always dark, but when it is dawn, it is already pitch black, and inexplicably, the eyes instinctively begin to look for the sun stove. Obviously there is nothing, but I feel that something is pressing on my heart, and the depression is so uncomfortable that people are breathless and unable to be happy at all. ”

It would seem even more uncomfortable without the light of his soul skills six or seven hours a day, and it's no wonder that every night watch team expects a lighthouse to walk with them.

"We're still far away." Looking at the professional night watchman on the deck, who was playing and playing as usual in the past, Jiang Shang and Si Luer looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Her lament about the gap is also Jiang Shang's own thoughts.

Backwardness is all-encompassing. Not only personal strength, but also preparation in all aspects is far from enough, which proves the adaptability and tolerance to the darkness.

"Obviously we are already so nervous, they are not affected at all, it seems that we have to continue to work hard."

But what he didn't know was Sun Hongling and the others, but they were already extremely amazed by Si Luer and his performance.

The lightless night of an ordinary city and the darkness of the outside world are two completely different concepts. The shady curtain with the dual attributes of physics and mystery will make people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, it is an endless sense of abandonment and isolation.

This sense of oppression is exacerbated by the geography of fishing boats and the sea.

In order to respond to a variety of environments. The petrification of the Night's Watch at the Academy of Anticipation is trained in the tolerance of darkness.

In the silent and dark secret room, from ten hours onwards, symptoms such as heart palpitations, dry mouth, and anxiety began. Even if you know that this worry is unnecessary, your physical and mental instincts are uncontrollable.

After this. It is also a complete sound-absorbing environment alone, and you can't hear what you say, which is the loneliness and despair that makes people crazy, and in the end, the emotional and physical chaos is completely chaotic, and it may even go crazy.

A qualified night watchman must be able to adapt to silent and dark environments for two consecutive days, then he can stay in the wild for at least two weeks without worrying about psychological problems.

The fear of darkness is a human instinct, just like animals are born with a fear of fire, although they can adapt, but not everyone can overcome it, and many talented night watchmen are directly out of the game because of this.

No one knows how long a mission has to stay in the dark wilderness, and a teammate who can go crazy at any moment is more terrifying than anything else.

Even if you don't go crazy, the chain drop and vision at the critical moment are unacceptable.

According to years of experience, if a person can endure more than half an hour in a silent and dark environment for the first time under sober conditions, or spend a whole day in the field under the guidance of a veteran without obvious psychological problems, then he is 80% likely to pass the next adaptive training.

But what is surprising is that it has been three days now, although Si Luer has some problems, he has reached the standard of excellence, and Jiang Shang seems to have not been affected at all, except for more fatigue and tension, but also in terms of physical and mental indicators, which are no different from in the city.

In the wild, various conditions will prolong the stress caused by the night on the human body, for example, the new humans who can see at night are significantly stronger than the old humans, and walking alone in the dark is far more stressful than when there is a companion, and if there is a lighthouse in the team, then the field mission time can be at least doubled.

"Jiang Shang, have you already done dark tolerance training?"

Jiang Shang nodded in acknowledgement, making everyone show a look of sudden understanding, but after that, it was an even more unbelievable answer,

"Secret Room Dark Silent Endurance Training? Once before, I could only hold on for three hours, and Xiaoyue could hold on for more than six hours. ”

"The first time it was more than three hours, or even six hours? Even if it's a night singer, it's too much. ”

If this is the first time to adapt, then the performance of the Jiang family brothers and sisters has gone beyond the scope of talent advantage and reached an unbelievable realm.

These. Even the well-informed Luna was a little surprised, walking in silence in the dark for three hours, which was nothing among professional night watchmen, but if she reached this standard the first time, it showed that she surpassed the extraordinary night tolerance talent of new humans.

Then, it is also possible to achieve complete dark adaptation through training, and this training is a necessary condition for the qualification of the Night's Watch Lone Wanderer (optional for new humans, additional compulsory for old humans).

"What an enviable talent, it took me at least half a year to adapt to the indefinite darkness. If this is the basis, Jiang Shang will only need a month of simple training, and Jiang Xiaoyue, it will only take a week. Sun Hongling was also secretly surprised.

But there was no time to sigh, and then, the ships that gradually left the sea, the boiling water, but let the long wait come to an end.

"It's coming, Penglai is here." (To be continued......)
