Chapter 7: Breaking the Ice
The ships traveled on the sea for five days, and finally saw land on the morning of the sixth day.
However, because the weather was particularly cold this year, a thick layer of ice was formed on the surface of the sea near the shore.
Because of the negligence of the crew, the ship did not realize until it hit the ice, fortunately the ship was not fast and the hull was strong, so it did not cause damage, but the huge impact sound and violent shaking still woke up the people of the ship.
When Lin Qi and Firefly rushed to the deck, they saw that Qu Yitong was already standing at the front of the bow, and there were several crew members standing on the deck.
Firefly took Lin Qi's hand and walked towards Qu Yitong, Qu Yitong glanced back slightly, but didn't say anything.
In the distance, the outline of an island can be faintly seen, and in this cold winter, it has long been covered by heavy snow, and although it is gloomy in the eye, it is still white.
I didn't expect the legendary Yingzhou Island to be in front of me, it was Lin Qi, and I felt like a dream.
At this time, Firefly was holding Lin Qi and was already behind Qu Yitong.
"Auntie, can't the boat move?"
Although there is no damage to the ship at the moment, if you want to break the ice in such a situation, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, if the weather does not change, and there is no effective way, I am afraid that this boat of people will be trapped on this ship.
Lin Qi came to the side of the boat and looked down, only to see that the ice was thick, it was difficult to see the whole picture, and he didn't know how deep he was, I was afraid that the ordinary method would not work.
"Auntie, is there any other place where I can enter the island, I'm afraid this harbor won't work. ”
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Qu Yitong glanced at him, but he chuckled, and then turned around and walked towards the crew not far away.
"Go back to your place and get ready to sail!"
Lin Qi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the other party to insist on going from here, but in any case, forcibly breaking the ice would definitely not work, but he also knew that Qu Yitong was not a fool, who could become a grandmaster, which one was not talented and scheming, and he just didn't know what Qu Yitong wanted to do at the moment.
At this time, Qu Yitong gave an order, and walked back to his place, and the crew quickly dispersed, and there was no doubt about him, which seemed to be not just a kind of trust, but more like a kind of worship.
"Lin boy, do you know, although this Yingzhou Island is big, but because of the natural terrain barrier, the entire island, but only here can land on the island, for many years, no one dares to come to the East Island to attack, to a certain extent, it is also profitable. ”
Hearing Qu Yitong's explanation, Lin Qi suddenly realized that although the forces of the southeast, northwest and northwest, from the entire map, may only be this Yingzhou, the smallest force, but Lin Qi has never heard of it, nor has he seen any record of the conflict between the Central Plains and Yingzhou Island in the literature.
If you want to disintegrate Yingzhou Island, it is possible unless it is destroyed from the inside, so the rebellion of the ghost-faced people ten years ago, although it did not shake the foundation of Yingzhou Island, it seems that the impact on Yingzhou is still very far-reaching, but maybe there is a lesson from the past, Qu Yitong should also pay enough attention to it, maybe there is already a countermeasure.
"Auntie, what now. ”
Even the little girl could see that it was not feasible to drive a boat to forcibly break the ice, she frowned, her expression was serious, she was really worried about Qu Yitong, but the cute aura on her body was exposed.
"Lin boy, if it were you, what would you do?"
Qu Yitong did not answer the firefly directly, but turned around and asked Lin Qi.
"If this was the only way, maybe I would choose to break the ice, but if you ask me what to do, I don't have a clue for a while. ”
Lin Qi can also be regarded as telling the truth, although he can summon a fire dragon and use it for icebreaking, but at this time, if he wants to forcibly open a passage and open the way for the ice-breaking of the sea ship, I am afraid that with his ability, it is not enough to do it.
"Heh, is that so, it seems that your cultivation of the nine grades is just used to bluff people. ”
Hearing Qu Yitong's mocking words, Lin Qi didn't have any disgust, but heard some different flavors from it.
"Please also ask my aunt for advice. ”
Lin Qi was respectful, bent down and bowed to Qu Yitong, which could be described as extremely pious, but this time, Qu Yitong really did not ridicule him again, but looked at him slightly meaningfully and laughed.
"It is worthy of being a disciple of Xia Xuanting, and he is really smart and tight, so it is not in vain for me to bother with some words. At this time, Qu Yitong tapped his feet and jumped to the top of the fence, "You two, follow me!"
After speaking, Qu Yitong immediately jumped off the sea boat and fell on the ice of the sea.
This ice surface is strong and heavy, and it can naturally withstand people to step on, Qu Yitong walked on the vast ice surface in a red shirt, but it was extremely conspicuous.
Lin Qiyingli glanced at each other, so they flew down together and came behind Qu Yitong, and the two followed her side by side, and at this time, a Ling Ran breath suddenly revealed from Qu Yitong's body.
The breath had already wrapped Lin Qi and Firefly almost instantly, but there was no aggression, and there was even a wonderful but strange feeling mixed in, Lin Qi was paying attention to the wonderful feeling around him, but he suddenly felt the entire ice surface, and seemed to tremble.
I only heard a loud click, and the place where the three of them walked behind them instantly broke into countless pieces of ice floe at this time, some sank into the water, and some floated to both sides.
Lin Qi and Firefly were taken aback, looking back at this situation, the shock in their hearts can be said to be indescribable, you know, Qu Yitong is in front of them, every move is watched by the two of them, but they really didn't find out what Qu Yitong had done.
But such a thing, apart from Qu Yitong, who can do it on the scene?
"Don't look, keep up!"
Hearing Qu Yitong's words, Lin Qi and Firefly realized that they had been left behind, so they quickly gathered their minds, walked a few steps, and rushed behind Qu Yitong.
"Lin boy, I don't know if you've heard the phrase 'Nine Grades Contradict the Trend, Grandmaster Rebel Against the Sky'?"
Hearing Qu Yitong's question, Lin Qi was obviously stunned for a moment, of course he knew this sentence, and this sentence was even very famous in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't understand Qu Yitong's intention in saying this.
"Yes. ”
"Now that I've heard it, it's Jiupin again, and I have some insights. ”
"Ah, maybe, but I've just been promoted to Jipin, and I don't know much about many places. ”
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Qu Yitong sneered again.
"I don't know much, I can say this kind of thing, I'm afraid you don't know what Jiupin is!"
Lin Qi has been promoted to the ninth grade, and naturally knows what the ninth rank is, so of course Qu Yitong's words are a bit exaggerated, but Lin Qi doesn't know how to refute it at all.
"Jiupin is against the trend, and the grandmaster is against the sky...... In my opinion, it's really an exaggeration!" At this time, Qu Yitong explained to Lin Qi while walking, and the solid ice behind the three of them was still breaking in an orderly manner.
"Lin boy, in your opinion, what is the most powerful force in the world?"
Hearing this question, Lin Qi thought for a while, but he didn't know how to answer, if he simply traced the essence of power, he was afraid that there was no limit.
"It's the force of nature!" Seeing that Lin Qi didn't give an answer for a long time, Qu Yitong asked and answered himself.
"The power of nature?" Lin Qi didn't know what the power of nature was, but the concept was relatively general, and he didn't know what Qu Yitong meant.
"Wind can tear the sky, water can subvert boats, everything in nature actually has a power that you and I can't fully explore!"
At this time, the momentum on Qu Yitong's body changed suddenly, and in an instant, the wind swept up, and the chill was chilling, but it was all around the three of them.
"The so-called reversal is to change the momentum of nature, through the help of the power of nature, to strengthen or change their own ability, for example, this cold wind, sometimes he can be a sharp blade that tears the enemy, sometimes it can become a barrier to protect itself, but the key is, how do you make these natural forces can be used for you as you like, for you to transform, this is what a nine products should pursue, to do!"
As he spoke, Qu Yitong's momentum changed again, the cold wind around him dissipated instantly, and the power surrounding the three of them gradually became peaceful at this time, but at this moment, the ice road behind the three of them suddenly made a loud noise, not only deafening, but even the entire ice began to tremble violently!
In addition to being shocked, in a trance, Lin Qi seemed to hear the sound of the waves churning!
"It's seawater! The water under the ice is churning!"
At this moment, Lin Qi suddenly discovered that Qu Yitong broke through the ice through something! But how did the sea water covered by ice turn up the surging waves, and even there was such a huge sound, but people had no way of knowing.
"Borrowing the potential, responding to the potential, changing the potential, this is a nine-product can only do, but in the final analysis, these potentials from nature are originally there, but the power of the grandmaster is to be able to create the required potential through communication and integration with nature when the potential does not exist, although after all, you can't get rid of the word nature, but the power contained in it, do you know how far-reaching?"
A seat, although the little girl Firefly seems to understand it, this is also related to her lack of cultivation, but Lin Qi has stepped into the threshold of the nine products, and has already felt the world she can see, so the harvest is really not small!
In fact, after Lin Qi entered the ninth grade, he was a little confused about his current situation for a long time, maybe only he knows, and now he may need to know like this, although he has not seen Qu Yitong's expression, but Lin Qi must have done it intentionally.
"Auntie, can Firefly reach this realm, can you help Xiao Qi?"
The original intention of Firefly to do things is always to consider Lin Qi, which makes people feel both cute and touching.
In fact, Lin Qi is the same.
At this time, Qu Yitong chuckled.
"If you look at it purely from the perspective of talent, you are much stronger than Lin Xiaoqi, and now you may not be as good as him, but it is also because of age or experience, when you are fully mature, after enough study, I think it is not too much for you to surpass Lin Xiaozi. ”
I didn't expect Qu Yitong to rely on Firefly so highly, but after listening to it, Firefly just smiled gently.
"I don't need to surpass Xiao Qi, I just hope that I can always stand by Xiao Qi's side. ”
At this time, Qu Yitong just smiled and didn't comment on anything, and by this time, the three of them were already closer to the coast, and so far, the sea boat has not even stopped.
"Okay, let's unleash your momentum together, now it's time for you to see the higher level of the world!"
Although it is not clear what Qu Yitong wants to do, so far, the woman who is called the god killer and the aunt of the two has really been doing things that are beneficial to the two of them, so Lin Qi and Firefly also trust Qu Yitong very much, so they gradually began to release their momentum slowly.
At this time, although the momentum of the two was completely released by their own consciousness, but under the wrapping of Qu Yitong's momentum, they were immediately fused by the other party's momentum, but even so, the two still did not lose control of their true qi, and even gained a new and strange feeling.
Suddenly, the two of them only felt that the front of their field of vision suddenly became clear, and for a moment they seemed to know the conditions of the sea water under the ice, and at this time, Lin Qi discovered that Qu Yitong's true qi had always relied on this way to continuously merge into the sea water, so the sea water was under the ice, constantly setting off monstrous waves, even if it was invisible, it could also cause an almost terrifying effect.
In this almost magical feeling, the group of three people did not stop stepping, and they really approached the coast, and the sea ships behind them were unstoppable, like bamboos, and they continued to march towards the harbor along the new route opened up by Qu Yitong.
At this time, the whole picture of Yingzhou Island finally gradually appeared in front of Lin Qi and Firefly, although the whole island was covered in silver, but beyond the harbor, through the offshore dwellings, people can see the tall mountains and dense jungles in the distance.
At this time, Qu Yitong turned around and smiled at the two of them.
"Welcome to Yingzhou Island, my hometown!"
