The sea water is clear and blue, the northwest sea breeze is light, Xue Tong pulled up the sails, the bow of the ship was slightly cocked, light as a flying boat, sailing to the depths of the sea.

Xue Tong smiled and leaned on the side of the ship, looking at the waves surging beside the boat, the yellow beech wood boat had a draft of thirteen feet, the deck was two feet above the sea, and the double mast was twenty feet high, and a total of seventeen white sails were suspended.

Xue Tong went to Wanyu Island, 38,000 miles away from Sogo.

There are 100,000 islands in Wanyu Island, nearly half of which are uninhabited, and several large islands in the center are said to be nearly the size of Jiayuan Kingdom.

The monsoon and ocean currents of the Hopeless Sea go to the direction of Wanyu for most of the year, and Xue Tong needs to arrive before April of the following year, and there is still nearly half a year to go.

Xue Tong's nautical charts were bought at a high price in Wanqianguo, depicting the shipping route and an island and reef southwest of Wanyu Island.

He had never been to sea, let alone to such a distant place, Xue Tong discerned his direction at high altitude, adjusted his direction, and sailed into the course.

After that, except for the vast sea, the land reference is not visible, and the position of the stars and the moon can only be observed, which can be roughly determined.

The hopeless sea voyage is full of unknowns, and once the ship capsizes, it will eventually fall into the sea by relying only on flying magic weapons and cloud control.

Flying magic weapons cannot continue to be used while flying, and even if there are enough twenty or thirty magic weapons, one after another, the hopeless storm at sea is still very likely to overturn the magic weapons.

A big ship is undoubtedly the safest option.

……

Bone golems and vultures roam on the deck, and this place is close to the mainland, and seabirds fly by from time to time, and the vultures spread their wings in pursuit, occasionally catching a few.

The vultures had grown to half a man's height and were ferocious, and their eyes were fierce except when they looked at Xue Tong and the bone golems.

Its claws and beak are exaggeratedly proportioned, and its wings are slightly smaller, which is also an inherent feature of the vulture.

The vultures either claw the seabirds to shreds them to pieces, or they peck off the heads in one bite and kill them without eating them.

"The vultures are slow and ferocious."

Xue Tong smiled and threw out several fist-sized demon snake galls.

The vulture swallowed, the fierce eyes became blurry and tired, Xue Tong whistled, the vulture quickly took a few steps, obediently lying beside him, the vulture drank his blood for half a year when he broke the shell, and the gray dots into the body, and Xue Tong can be said to have the same mind, but Xue Tong is still trained in vulture taming to make him understand his orders better.

Xue Tong also prepared a lot of bone puppet cultivation things, and after the bone golem sucked a dark green centipede inner pill, the light green of the bone deepened again.

The bone puppet was poisonous, Xue Tong caught a five-foot big fish in the sea, and the fingertips of the bone puppet gently cut through the back of the fish, and the big fish soon turned white, and black blood flowed from the corners of the mouth.

"At present, it is not difficult to solve the bone puppet poison, it is enough to eliminate the pill, and the bone puppet is mixed with some common snake venom, scorpion venom, toad venom, centipede venom and the like, and the poison will intensify in the future, and it will be difficult to say how to solve it."

However, the material of the bone puppet is congenitally insufficient after all, and in the past, it was made of a pair of martial arts master's blood bear bones, although a large amount of spirit stones, spiritual liquid, and demon beast pseudo-pills and inner pills were consumed in the later stage, the speed of cultivation was still unsatisfactory.

"It's nothing more than using a large number of demon bear skeletons to boil bone slurry, so that the bone puppet can be soaked in the slurry pool, this method requires a lot of money, but fortunately, I don't lack spirit stones."

When Xue Tong thought of this, the corners of his mouth did not flow a smile.

The hopeless sea water has changed from clear blue to deep blue, and then to the black blue of today.

I have been out to sea for more than a month, and I have reached the deep sea.

Xue Tong took the bone puppet and vulture to cultivate, avoiding boring and even maddening troubles.

……

The sea was sparkling, and the waves crashed against the ship, and Xue Tong faintly heard an extremely low voice from far and near.

"Yes!"

Xue Tong jumped to the top of the mast, and the golden pupils quickly searched the sea.

In the distance on the port side, a piece of silver light at the sea level seemed to be missing, and Xue Tong had not yet identified it, and the black block was gone, and after a few breaths, it appeared closer to the sea.

"Oh my God, what a big fish monster!"

Xue Tong flew out like a bird, his palm lit up, and a thunderball blasted out in the direction of the fish spine.

The thunder burst bead into the water and exploded violently, the thunder arc was straight and straight, and with the help of blue and white light, Xue Tong saw a large swordfish passing by.

His mana was activated, the void trembled slightly, and a golden sword aimed at the fish's head and slashed straight down.

The moment the tip of the sword pierced into the sea, a huge whirlpool suddenly surged into the inky blue water, the waves rose to the sky, the swordfish's tail fin swung hard, and the huge body of more than ten zhang long jumped out of the water, and the golden rainbow sword stuck to the back of the fish and sank into the bottom of the sea.

The "boom" swordfish fell into the sea, causing a huge splash, Xue Tong saw the direction through the water mist, and the lightning strike technique was urgent.

Rumble!

Lightning strikes and finally hits the swordfish.

When the splash cleared, the fish monster was gone, leaving only a pool of red blood foam and large fish scales on the surface of the sea.

"It's dangerous!"

The swordfish's two-foot-long hard bone spurs are very likely to penetrate the bottom of the ship, and the mast ship will be destroyed, and it will be difficult to escape in the vast sea.

……

Thundered!

The thunder roared, and the shaking of the mast suddenly intensified, Xue Tong pushed open the hatch, it was daylight, but the surroundings were dark, only the bright light from a white pillar of light in the distance.

The black swirling air mass outside the pillar of light soared into the sky, and the waves on the sea surface were extremely wide, surging like a hill hundreds of feet away, rushing towards them.

The mast rose and fell between the crests and valleys of the waves, and the waves crossed the deck and slammed into the second floor of the ship, splashing seven or eight feet high.

The sails had long been retracted, and the magnitude of the mast was so large that Xue Tong was unstable on his feet, and he was in danger of falling into the sea or being swept away by the waves at any time.

The ship was caught in the terrifying dark storm of the Hopeless Sea, and once it was caught in the center of the storm, the whole ship would immediately be stirred into powder, and there would be no scum left.

Xue Tong clenched the rudder handle, turned the direction as far as possible from the storm, the rudder creaked, and the force in the waves was amazing.

Huge waves, strong winds, heavy rains, thunderstorms, all night long.

When the storm passed, Xue Tong collapsed to the ground, his arms almost unconscious.

……

The most terrible black sea area past.

"The color of the sea is fading, it seems that we have sailed out of the center of the Hopeless Sea, and we are getting closer and closer to Wanyu Island!"

Xue Tong was happy and summoned the vulture.

For more than four months, the vulture grew taller, its feathers deepened, brown with black, red eyeballs, and black pupils across a golden line, giving people a sense of nobility and awe-inspiring.

The thick vulture claws were larger than Xue Tong's palms, and the claw hooks were sharp, and they could cut the arm-thick wooden stick into two pieces with a single grasp.

The vultures flew around the mast, sometimes swooping down to the deck, sometimes quickly pulling up to the clouds, and Xue Tong popped out a few carved bones, all of which were grabbed by the vultures and devoured into their stomachs.

Xue Tong glanced at the top-grade spirit stone in the spirit pet bag, the color had faded to eighty percent, and under the cultivation of the unusually abundant spiritual energy and snake gall birds, the vulture had grown to the level of the early stage of martial arts.

And the bone golem's soul fire brightened, and the bones sounded softly from time to time, indicating that it was not far from being upgraded.

……

A month later.

With the return of the clear blue waters, and for the first time in months, seabirds appeared, and Xue Tong rose into the air to observe the presence of islands in the distant sea.

Finally, the brig landed on the first uninhabited reef.

The second, the third... Xue Tong compared the nautical chart and showed that it had reached the reefs off Wanyu Island.

"Divert to the northeast, and you should arrive at the inhabited island in ten days and a half months, and you can always get a more detailed map of Wanyu Island at that time."

Wanyu Continent is approaching, but Xue Tong's heart is becoming more and more hesitant: how to deal with the two-masted ship that costs tens of thousands of spirit stones and let it drift on the sea and become a ghost ship, or give it away or exchange it for spirit stone gold and silver; Whether he goes deep into the hinterland of Wanyu Island, or occupies the island as the owner of one party

There are pros and cons.

Just when he was thinking and hesitating, two sloops loomed on the sea, Xue Tong pulled up the full sail, rode the wind and waves and quickly approached, the dhow wanted to escape at first, but then saw that it could not get rid of it, so the rope stopped and approached side by side.

Xue Tong soared across the cloud and landed on the fishing boat.

The fishing boat was six or seven feet long, the side of the boat was full of fishing net buoys, the elm deck was old, and the whole boat was full of fishy smell.

The six fishermen were restrained, and when they saw Xue Tong coming into the air, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

Xue Tong saw someone for the first time in half a year, and his heart was very good, and he said with a pleasant face: "Fishermen, may I ask where this is?"

The older man in the fisherman stammered, "This... Di Yan Ming... Island, dare to ask... Where did the Taoist come from?"

"Oh, don't be nervous, fishermen, I'm from a continent tens of thousands of miles away, and I've been adrift at sea for half a year."

The six of them glanced at each other, looking at each other as if they had never heard of any other continent.

"It's from the continent on the other side of the sea."

Xue Tong thought to himself that it is best if you have not heard of it, and he also wants to know what other continents there are, and he is considering claiming to come from the New World in the future to completely erase the traces of Sogo.

He changed the subject, took out the chart and asked, "Where is Yanming Island and what is the situation on the island?"

The old fisherman recognized the chart, pointed and said, "Returning to the long road, Yanming Island is one hundred and eighty miles away, and there are two thousand inhabitants on the island, who have been fishing for generations. ”

Xue Tong glanced at the fish cabin, half a warehouse of ordinary hairtail squid, covered with a layer of ice chips.

"It seems that the fishermen don't catch many fish."

The elderly fisherman said: "The climate around Yanming Island is changeable, the water is deep and the waves are urgent, and there are really not many fish that can be caught, so the child will just maintain." ”

"Oh, since the environment of Yanming Island is harsh, and there are so many islands in Wanyu Island, why don't you change places?" asked Xue Tong.

"The Taoist chief doesn't know, how can it be so easy for the islanders to migrate, the inland island is prosperous and rich, how can we get there, Yanming Island is the largest attached island of Luosi Island, and it is under the control of the lord of Liang Island, and he must agree to leave."

"What kind of role is the owner of Luosi Island?"

"Since the Taoist chief came from the sea, he must not know much about Wanyu Island, the lord of Liang Island is in charge of sixty-two islands of all sizes, and he is the owner of the wooden anchor level, and the owner of Wanyu Island is divided into five levels: gold, silver, copper, iron, and wood, and the lord of Liang Island is not high in level but can soar through the clouds and fog, and the force is unimaginable." The older fisherman said.

"Yes, so that foreign warriors can operate nearby, and they must be approved by the owner of Liang Island."

"Uh-huh, the little one thinks so too."

"Do you have more detailed charts?"

The fisherman took a cloth embroidered chart from his arms, and Xue Tong exchanged a large handful of broken silver for it.

He didn't go to visit any Liang Island Lord, he had a fancy for Lishan Island, which was nine hundred miles away and five times larger than Yanming Island.
