Chapter 221: Green Island

Standing on deck and looking into the distance, Lukka didn't realize that he had just crossed a line that few people had tried in the Sunset Islands for years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, Daniel's voice came from the stern of the ship: "Captain!

"Why, is it uncomfortable?" Lukka asked with concern, and the killer whale threw all sorts of fish into the boat, adding a lot of delicacy to the Silent Reaper's table.

"Not really, it seems to feel like it's too far from home. Daniel could understand what Pippi Shrimp meant, but the killer whale was stubborn and couldn't convince it.

"Well, after all, it never left here. Lukka followed Daniel to the stern.

Pipi shrimp jumped high from the sea, fell into the water and turned its head backwards, the meaning was clear: I want to go back!

"You can talk to it, right?" Lukka asked Daniel, nodding his head, and he continued, "Tell him that we'll be away for a while, and if he wants, he can wait around here for us to come back." ”

Bidding farewell to the killer whales, the Silent Death moved on.

After another week of sailing on the vast sea, Leon pointed ahead and said to Luca: "One day at most, we will reach the Lens Trench." ”

Lukka nodded, and the sea ahead was so calm that not even a small island could be seen.

"The nearest island will sail from here for at least two months, and this trip is probably out of sight. Leon said with some regret.

"The winter solstice is the day after tomorrow, right?" Lukka counted the days.

"Yes, it shouldn't be a problem to catch up, there's still time to recuperate. Leon replied.

Lukka originally thought that the trench was only different from other seas in depth, and he stood on the deck, and without the help of measuring instruments, he would not know whether he had reached the position at all.

Half a day later, when the Silent Death sailed into the edge of the Lens Trench, the clear colors in the field of vision made Luca, a rookie who had no idea about the ocean landscape at all, react immediately, the depth here is unusual.

The closer the sea is to the shore, the lighter the color will be, and this common sense Luca still knows. The waters of the Sunset Islands are not deep overall, but there are some deep areas where the water is a deep blue.

But now, in front of the Silent Death, a straight dividing line had split the sea into two parts, one side was the deep blue of the ordinary deep sea, and the other side was like ink.

"This sea is poisonous!" shut up and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly held back such a sentence.

Leon laughed out loud: "It's just ordinary sea water, and the dark place is the extent of the trench." ”

"The surface layer is ordinary seawater, but down a few hundred meters, it's different. Daniel said.

"What's the difference?" asked Phil curiously.

Daniel suddenly turned into a ghostly state, and the whole person went straight down the deck, and after a long while, he returned to everyone wet, and said:

"No, after a hundred meters, I won't be able to get there. But at least the sea water above is not abnormal, and the dark part below, I think the mineral content is probably different. ”

"Can Crete see clearly?" asked Nora.

Crete shook his head: "This distance is already out of my field of vision. ”

Lukka didn't have time to study the water conditions right now: "Anyway, as long as we don't fall into the sea, it shouldn't affect us, right?"

Daniel nodded.

Crete agreed: "Let's look ahead, for example, there is an island ahead." ”

"Huh?" This is not the first time that Luka has encountered the island that suddenly appeared, the island last time was sunk to the bottom of the sea by him, so that he still owes Thea hundreds of millions of silver coins.

"No way! I remember clearly, there is no island here!" Leon grabbed the telescope and held it up in front of him.

"There are no islands on the trench, and this is not a continental shelf, which is not scientific. Phil followed suit.

"Then look up, what's ahead?" Nora, pulling Phil's head forward.

A green land came into view, not very large, and it seemed to be full of lush vegetation.

Leon put down his binoculars, took out his sextant and pocket watch, and measured them carefully.

Crete measured the same with his own tools, and the two men looked at each other and nodded to each other.

"What are you doing?" said Phil, who was about to jump between the two men.

"The location of that island is the coordinates you gave. Crete said.

"There is an island, but we use a small boat to set up those devices, and it is not easy to locate the floating ones. Lukka could have thought about it.

"No kidding, that island doesn't look right!" Phil said.

A sigh sounded in Luca's ear, and he looked back with a smile: "Don't be so pessimistic, no matter what, just drive over and take a look?"

"Who's sighing?" asked Ollie alertly.

"It's not me!" "It's not me!"

At this moment, even Lukka put away his smile.

After another two hours of sailing, the island became clearer.

"I can see a little bit now. "It's not really an island, to be exact." ”

"What's that?"

"It's a mass of plants floating on the water. Crete held up the binoculars and affirmed, "Or rather, a floating island made of aquatic plants." ”

"Ahh Leon patted his head, "I've come across something like this farther to the west, where plants like aquatic weeds are entangled and float on the water, and it's possible to float here." However, I've never seen such a large clump of aquatic plants!"

"Alas!" another sigh came.

This time, everyone heard that the source of the sound was the green floating island.

"Why don't you fly over and have a look?" Lukka said to Shut Up.

"I'm not going, I'm going to let Thea go! she's flying faster than I am. "Shut up, I'm almost tucking my head into my shoulders.

"Me neither, no!" Thea's voice trembled.

"Alas!" the sigh frightened Thea to jump so high, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Luca sighing, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "You guys are so bold!"

"Why don't you take a peep?" said Ollie, remembering that Luca's spell worked well when playing cards.

"It's not far enough, the peeping eye can't fly so far, you have to get closer. Shut up and replied for Luca.

As he spoke, the floating island was getting closer and closer, and the swaying notes and leaves of the plants on it were clearly visible, and the sighs were one after another, denser and denser, and it didn't take long for them to become endless.
