vs 284 Luck in misfortune
[Ran^Text^Library] []"Hey~!Bring me an axe!Hurry up!" After muttering a few words helplessly, Long Tianci turned around and shouted at the sailors, and hearing Long Tianci's shout, a sailor ran over with an axe, and reached out and handed the axe to Long Tianci!
But before Long Tianci could catch the axe, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the sailor fell directly into the sea from the stern of the ship because of the vibration, and the axe also fell down with it!
And with the violent vibration of the previous ship, a huge crack appeared in the stern cleat, and it was obvious that the stern was about to be unable to withstand this huge pressure!
Long Tianci knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he kicked on the fence, and the wooden fence was directly kicked off by Long Tianci, and then the section of the fence with the rope flew out of the boat. Chapters are updated the fastest
Finally freed from the drag of the giant killer whale, the ship slowly stopped, but at this time the merchant ship was already full of holes, and it was impossible to continue sailing!
When the sky was dark, the sailors' emergency repair of the ship was finally completed, but the whole night of busyness was only barely enough to keep the ship from sinking, and the rudder was seriously damaged, and the hull was also broken in many places, and in the current state of the ship, it was no longer possible to sail normally!
Although the ship has been abandoned, but the people of this ship can not wait for death here, the boatswain came to Long Tianci with a tired face, and then asked, "My lord, what do you think we should do now?"
"Where are we now?" Long Tianci frowned after hearing the boatswain's words, and then asked!
"Uh~!We've been dragged by that killer whale for a long time, and it's estimated that we've deviated from course, but judging from the currents, we should be at the intersection of the Vermilion Bird Continent and the Qinglong Continent now!" replied the boatswain!
"So fast, doesn't it take half a month to sail from the Vermilion Bird Continent to the Qinglong Continent? How can you reach the meeting point so quickly?" Long Tianci was stunned when he heard the boatswain's words.
"Actually, the distance between the four continents is trapezoidal, and the inner line between the two continents is very close, and the distance is much closer than the regular route, so we are actually at the meeting point now!" said the boatswain!
"In that case, why do you have to set the route so far, wouldn't it be nice to sail directly from the nearest distance?" asked Long Tianci with a puzzled expression!
"My lord, the inner sea between the four continents must not be used as a normal route, because it is full of dangers! The route we are using now is the one that countless ancestors have explored with their lives!" said the boatswain bitterly!
"I don't really understand what you mean, what's going on in this sea area?" Long Tianci frowned after hearing the boatswain's words, and then asked!
"Your Excellency must have heard of the Stygian Sea, right?" the boatswain did not answer Long Tianci's question, but asked rhetorically!
"I seem to have heard of it, I remember that the Styx Sea is a sea area in the center of the four continents, because the waters of the four oceans converge together, so there is no wind and waves on the sea surface in the Styx Sea area, the fog is shrouded all year round, and there are many terrifying sea beasts living there!"
"Since you know about the Styx, you should have heard of the tributaries of the Styx, right?" asked the boatswain once more!
Long Tianci had never heard of this word, so Long Tianci shook his head and said, "I don't have a lot of knowledge about the sea, so I still need you to explain a lot of things to me!"
Long Tianci is quite modest, and if he doesn't know, he will be ashamed to ask, and the boatswain smiled bitterly after hearing Long Tianci's words, and said: "The so-called tributaries of the Stygian Sea are actually the four ocean currents separated from the Styx Sea, because they flow directly from the Stygian Sea, the water quality, organisms and even the environment in this current will be different from other seas!"
"Oh, what's the difference?" Long Tianci felt more and more incredible, the more he listened, the more incredible he felt, isn't the sea interconnected, how can there be a so-called independent sea area? And it is different from the regular sea area? What is this for?
"Maybe it's affected by the quality of the Stygian Sea, the inner sea area between the four continents has four different characteristics, the water temperature in the sea area between the White Tiger and the Xuanwu is terrifying, as long as any creature goes down, don't prepare to come up alive."
"There is nothing strange about the water quality in the sea area of the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird, but there is a very terrible race in this sea area, that is, the thunder eel! Theoretically, it is impossible for only one creature to live in such a large sea area, but in fact, there is only one creature in the whole sea area, and all creatures or ships that enter this water area have never left there alive!"
"The sea area between Qinglong and Xuanwu is completely windless, unless it is a manpower boat when you enter that sea area, you can't get out, and according to legend, there are underwater giants living in that sea area, and they will be destroyed when they encounter ships!"
"The last piece is this sea between the Vermilion Bird Continent and the Qinglong Continent where we are now, this sea is called the Sea of Flame Demons, because in this sea area, the sea will burn for no reason, and the raging flames occupy the entire sea, and no ship can only pass through here!" The boatswain explained the situation of the inner sea between the four continents and Long Tianci for a year, and Long Tianci was a little stupid when he heard this, he couldn't understand why the same sea had four characteristics?
After being silent for a long time, Long Tianci spoke: "According to what you mean, we have entered the inner sea area between the Vermilion Bird Continent and the Qinglong Continent, why didn't I feel any precursors of fire?"
"That's our luck! It's a bit of a peripheral sea, so we don't feel anything, but if we go any deeper, we're really looking for death!" said the boatswain with a bitter face!
"Since we can't go in, let's stop here, and when the rudder is repaired and can be moved, we will change the course from the regular route to the Qinglong Continent!" Long Tianci knew that the boatswain's rich sailing experience would not harm him, so he nodded and said!
"My lord, even if we repair the ship, this ship will not be able to support the Qinglong Continent, we have roughly checked it, the hull is 70% damaged, the rudder can not last long even if it can be repaired, the main mast is about to break, let alone reach the Qinglong Continent, we are not sure if we can travel half the distance alive, for us this is already a blessing in misfortune, if that killer whale drags us a few more nautical miles, our lives may be gone!" said the boatswain bitterly!
Hearing the boatswain's words, Long Tianci was silent, and then Long Tianci asked, "Then what is the best way for us now?"
"My lord, I suggest that you let us go back to the shore, only a regular dock can repair all the damage to the hull, and after the repair, we can go to the Qinglong Continent!" said the boatswain with a serious face!
