Chapter 7: Stepping into the Western Regions
"Whew, that's exciting. ”
After the battle, this was the first sigh of Li Changfeng and others.
"Yes, it's a good thing that the big octopus didn't think of us as enemies, otherwise it would have been miserable...... Although it is also a spirit period, it is the overlord of the sea after all. ”
"It's a little strange, but you can meet someone so sensible, who usually gets angry with us a long time ago?"
"yes, that's kind of weird...... Not to mention this, there are sea monsters here, and there may be a lot more dangers we have to encounter along the way. ”
"It's okay, more is more, it's been so many years, haven't we all come here like this. ”
"It's nothing, it's just the people on this boat...... I'm afraid I can't stand the toss. The ups and downs are fine, but the sea beast is much more terrible than the wind and rain. ”
Li Changfeng and the others expressed their feelings, and at the same time worried about the trip.
"You don't have to worry about this, those of us who eat by the sea have long been accustomed to this. A few people just need to protect the ship, and the rest don't have to worry...... We've been through this all the time, and there's nothing wrong with that...... It's just that the guests on the boat can't hold on. ”
At this time, the deputy captain came over and said these words to Li Changfeng.
At this time, everyone also thought of the merchants on the ship. They are different from everyone, they are all mortals, and if they have the experience of drifting at sea all the year round, it is easy to be unable to bear it.
"If you want to make a lot of money, you naturally have to pay a lot of money...... I can't stand this wind and waves, how can I talk about making money. Deputy Captain, don't worry about them, since they are all on board, they must be prepared. ”
After Yueli finished speaking, everyone also felt that what she said made sense. However, the truth is different.
The merchants were indeed prepared, with supplies to protect them from the cold and heat, dry food for travel, and a change of clothes. Even prepared for encountering sea beasts.
However, these are not well prepared. In their image, even if the sea beast attacked, it was just a little more wind and waves, and the ships of the adventurer's guild could easily solve it.
But the reality is completely unexpected, so terrible things are within the range of encounters, so how unsafe this trip is. In addition, the bumpy ride was also more than expected, and several people who were not resistant to fainting had already fainted.
Not to mention them, the appearance of the sea monster and the big octopus also exceeded the expectations of the crew. Usually, there is a lot of movement in other sea areas, and it is more difficult to travel. But when you get to this sea of silence, it will be much calmer.
Even if the sea monsters have been infested all these years, they have never been seen in the waters of the Silent Sea. Because this is the territory of some super sea beasts, sea monsters can't survive here at all. And those powerful sea beasts have a high level of intelligence, and they will not take the initiative to attack passing ships at all.
Therefore, this sea of silence has become the most peaceful sea.
But now, the Sea Demon Beast has appeared in this sea. Even though it has only been a short time since leaving the junction, it is possible that this can happen. But this time it happened.
It may be very different from the meaning of what happened. If it happens, it means that the sea monsters can really survive in the territory of those sea beast bosses, and this sea area will no longer be peaceful.
And if the most peaceful sea area is no longer peaceful, the difficulty of navigation will inevitably increase a lot.
While Wang Ling was healing the businessmen who had fainted, Li Changfeng and his crew began to think of a way. The situation in the sea is different from before, and the method has to change slightly.
"I'll start with my opinion, I'm not boasting, but I think the most important thing about this kind of thing is the observatory I'm on. If I had detected it earlier, we would have avoided the danger earlier.
But the problem is that you can see a thousand meters at the farthest away, and you have to be at least 800 meters to see clearly. To find a problem like before, at least within 600 meters, that's my limit. ”
"There's nothing wrong with what he's saying, and that's really our limit. Here's what he's been working there all year round to do.
The rest of us are much worse than him in this regard...... By the way, don't you really have any exploration or anything, can't that serve as a lookout?"
"It's not really a problem in terms of functionality alone, but the problem is that it's the sea. Let's not talk about whether we can detect it or not, the most important thing is to find out, if we cultivate, the sea beasts living here may regard us as enemies.
After all, no living creature wants to be snooped on. ”
"It's going to be a difficult problem......
"Brother Li, what about us then? Our cultivation is not so high, so we shouldn't attract so much attention. And although our exploration range is smaller, the radius of five miles should still be enough. ”
"No, you are guests, not suitable. ”
As soon as Feng Yan finished speaking, the deputy captain refused. How can there be a reason for guests to contribute?
"Don't say that, since we're in the same boat, the people on board must want the voyage to go smoothly, and we'll be better off if we do a little favor.
Or you can think of it this way, we do this voluntarily, and you shouldn't be able to control what the passengers do voluntarily. And we're just sharing this information with everyone so that we can be a little bit more secure. ”
After Feng Yan said this, the deputy captain really had nothing to refute. As long as the passenger does not do anything that endangers the voyage, he really can't control it.
So, he accepted the kindness.
"Thank you a few more for that."
Then, under Li Changfeng's arrangement, a few of them carried out an exploration mission.
The exploration of the seven people formed a huge intelligence network, and they could clearly know what was wrong with the surrounding sea. In addition, their cultivation is not very high, so it is not easy to let the sea beasts go too far, and they can avoid risks well.
Of course, it takes a lot of effort to continue to investigate this kind of thing, even if they are voluntary, it is unreasonable for the ship not to express it. Therefore, the deputy captain still prepared three delicious meals for the seven people as a reward.
Although they are all worldly things, if the seven of them eat happily, they will not feel so tired mentally.
In addition, they are not surveying day and night, but are only responsible for daytime. At night, it was Li Changfeng who was in charge.
If you can still feel some sea beasts at close range at night, it is basically that they have already stared at this ship, whether they will deal with it too much, and it is no longer a matter of consideration.
After they joined, the voyage went a lot smoother. As soon as they notice something is wrong, when they say it, the captain reacts according to the situation.
In this way, the ship avoided many unnecessary risks, and the navigation was much smoother.
Now, after a month of sailing at sea, I can now see the land and nearby islands in the distance. Yue eBook
By this time, everyone understood that their destination, the Realm of Chaos, was coming.
"Watch out, it's time to enter the realm of Chaos. ”
After the little brother at the lookout finished speaking, everyone entered a state of alert again, as before. Or rather, their expressions were more nervous this time than the previous ones.
As the ship moved forward, they gradually discovered something wrong.
First of all, the sky, the color of the sky is getting darker and darker, but it doesn't look like a storm is coming at all, because the sea breeze is still calm. This kind of sky seems to indicate that something is going to happen.
Then there was the water, which got darker and darker as the ship went. It's as if this is not a sea area, but a large inkpool.
At this time, the inkwell was not calm, and ink was tumbling in several places. And where everyone is staring, is the ink that moves.
Then, they clearly felt the breath of life beneath the ink. There is no doubt that they are sea beasts. But unlike the usual breath, these sea beasts feel very bloody, and seem to have killed thousands of people.
Suddenly, the protective shield of the ship appeared. Before they could realize anything, they felt the ship shake and heard a loud crash.
Then they saw a huge fish that had crossed over the hull. Its overall appearance looks like an ordinary grass carp is magnified many times. But its scales are not attached to its body at this time, but are slightly outward, making it look much larger.
In addition to this, they also saw many strange-shaped fish, which had little in common except for the common "big" characteristics.
And they, now, are working together to destroy the ship on which the wind killed them.
They carry out sabotage, Li Changfeng, they definitely can't ignore it. So countless ice arrows shot out from around the ship and stabbed the fish fiercely. But this did not seem to frighten them, but only provoked them to be fierce, and made their offensive even more fierce.
But the highest cultivation of these fish is only just in the Spirit Gathering Period, and they are not the opponents of Li Changfeng and others in the Spirit Gathering Period at all. After a brief stalemate, the tide of battle quickly turned one-sided.
After the battle, the captain suddenly ordered them to dock near the nearest island, and he was in a hurry.
Past experience has taught the crew that if the captain does not listen to this, the consequences will be very disastrous.
So, the ship soon stopped at a nearby island.
Just as they were docking, suddenly a strong wind blew and rain came quickly.
The storm came without warning.
Now that the wind is dead, they really believe what Li Changfeng said before. If you look at the distance and go straight ahead, you will have to fight the storm.
When they thought of this, they looked at the sea and realized that they were thinking too simply.
Storms are a common occurrence for these crews. But why didn't you brave the storm this time? That's because this storm brought not only a little wind and moon, but also a lot of sea beasts.
At this moment, in the midst of the wind and waves, there were many sea beasts, all of them in different forms, but they all roared and swam forward. If something stops them from moving forward, they will not hesitate to destroy it.
At this time, if their ship sailed here, even if it could withstand the storm, it would not be able to withstand the impact of so many sea beasts.
Seeing this scene, the seven people were a little stunned.
"What's the matter? I'm afraid? There are so many terrible things in the Realm of Chaos. I'm afraid I can't do it now. ”
"I'm not afraid, it's just that we haven't really seen this meeting, and we didn't react for a while. ”
"Oh, I don't think so...... Let me remind you once again that when this storm passes, this ship will not dock again without accident, and will directly reach the Realm of Chaos.
When the time comes, you'll have to disembark and live in the Realm of Chaos. In other words, you only have three or four days to think about it.
You have to think about it, once you enter the realm of chaos, it will be difficult to get out. And even if you go out, what you have experienced in it will become a shadow.
You have to think about it, it's really not a place to go casually. ”
Li Changfeng said these words to everyone, and his words were very sincere, and everyone could feel them. He wasn't just trying to stop them from moving forward, he was thinking about them from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you Brother Li for your concern, we are ready. It's hard to trust people in this place, but we can trust each other. And our cultivation is not going to be impossible to mix up here for a day. ”
Feng Yan also said this sincerely.
"Then I won't say anything.
Remember, you can survive here, as much as you can, and don't be too public. If you don't have enough strength, it's a dead end to publicize here.
Then, good luck to you guys. Don't let us live, we don't want the mercenary group we want to join without a leader. ”
After that, everyone chatted a little more. Li Changfeng told everyone all about his experience of surviving in the Chaos Realm for three days. As a local, Yemo didn't express any opinion on this, but listened to it like an outsider.
Soon, the storm passed, and the ship continued to sail. After some previous disasters, this last journey was quite smooth and there were no accidents.
Soon the ship docked. The crew did not land on the mainland, but only carried out the handover of cargo by means of tools and people on land. And the place where passengers can disembark is not the short staircase that comes with the ship, but a rope ladder.
The merchants went down the rope ladder.
Feng Yan and the others saw that the place was not high, so they had the idea of jumping directly. But this was quickly stopped by Li Changfeng and them. They didn't say anything, just pointed to the rope ladder.
Their meaning was obvious, that is, to ask them to climb down the rope ladder like ordinary people.
This surprised the wind and the others, and then they had to start hiding their identities when they landed?
When the merchants disembarked, the wind killed them and they dismounted. After getting off the boat, Li Changfeng and the others just waved goodbye to them and didn't say anything.
The first thing the seven people saw after landing was the people who came and went on the dock, and none of them seemed to be very angry, and their expressions made people panic.
But all this made it clear to them that they had now ascended to the realm of chaos.
