III - Chapter 3: The Eye of the Storm
"These are homework, homework, you know, it's for the teacher to teach you last time, in short, you have to finish these homework before you can eat!"
On the sea, a huge ship is floating in the waves, and on the ship, a young man is teaching a little girl as a strict teacher, and the fact is that on board, except for the ten sailors who sail the boat, the passengers are their master and apprentice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the Human Demon Continent is not completely supported by science and technology like the earth, it has still entered the steam age in terms of technology, and there are also huge ships that can cross the ocean, otherwise, it is impossible for the army of the lord from the Eastern Regions to appear in the Western Regions, you know, the east and west regions generally do not come and go, because the ocean is too wide, it takes more than a month to cross the ocean, and the weather on the ocean is unpredictable and extremely dangerous. It is said that there is a strange sea area above the ocean, and no matter how big a ship is, even a warship will not dare to enter this sea, and once it enters, it will not be able to come back.
The two masters and apprentices on the ship were Wu Tian and Xiao Soul, and Wu Tian rented the entire huge ship and said that he wanted to go to the Eastern Regions. Between the Eastern Regions and the Western Regions, in addition to warships, there are only a limited number of steamship companies that can pass, and the others will be attacked, and because of this, these companies charge ridiculously expensive, but Wu Tian still rents a huge ship to travel, he has to complete the most basic training for the little soul on the ship, this is a reincarnation of Wu Tian, as long as the last part of Wu Tian's plan is completed, it will become a reincarnation of the little soul.
The little soul has been wandering between the cities in the western regions of the mainland since she was a child, and she has never tried to cultivate at all, and she doesn't know anything about what Wu Tian said, but the little girl can endure hardships, as the so-called stupid bird flies first, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand, she can endure hardships, plus she has a Master, a Master who knows her far better than Little Soul herself, then sooner or later the little soul will completely embark on the path of cultivation.
"yes, a few more swings!"
Wu Tian has been floating on the sea with the little soul for two months, under Wu Tian's teaching and the tempering of special methods, the little soul has been able to swing a big sword that Wu Tian specially refined for him, of course, it can only be swung a few times, the big sword is too heavy, and the hilt is thicker than the poor little wrist of the little soul.
"Well, yes, yes! Remember, you can't eat until you finish your homework for the day!"
Watching the little soul practice, Wu Tian was teaching while eating, half lying on the deck on the deck, not to mention more freehand.
The ship is well-equipped, and the food can be kept in the ice cellar for half a year, of course, it is all food that can be preserved for a long time, and the sailors and passengers of the old ship are only 12 people, there is no shortage of food at all, and the fresh water is even more sufficient. In addition, this time Wu Tian made a lot of money, in addition to giving enough rent to the steamship company, he also paid the sailors and captains for a year, so even if they drifted around on the ocean, the employees on the ship did not complain.
Soon, another two months have passed, in the first two months Xiao Soul has laid a good foundation, and the course arrangement arranged by Wu Tian in the back is much smoother, Xiao Nizi has been able to jump up and down with a big sword, and a set of internal strength has been practiced to a certain extent, although this is only the basic mental method for Wu Tian to let Xiao Soul refine his body, but it is still very beneficial to Xiao Soul.
"Boss. Just as Wu Tian was about to stop the little soul after eating the afternoon refreshments and let her eat too, a middle-aged man walked over to Wu Tian, who was the captain of the steamer.
"Captain, have you eaten, together?" Wu Tian smiled when he saw that it was the captain and beckoned him to sit down.
The captain sat down, but the expression on his face showed that his current mood was not as good as Wu Tian's, and he was already in a hurry.
"Boss Wu, we have been walking at sea for four months, and the food on the ship is only enough for us for half a year, and the food will be bad after a while, this is ...... It will take at least a month from our location to the Dongyu Wharf, and there is not much time, Boss Wu, I think we are ......?"
The captain's meaning was already very clear, he didn't know what Wu Tian was looking for at sea, he only knew that if he continued to look for it, the shorter the rest of the time for them to reach the dock in the Eastern Regions, and if there was an accident in the middle and it was delayed for a little time, then they might lose the opportunity to reach the dock. As the saying goes, deceiving the mountains and not deceiving the water, on this sea, once there is no food and no fresh water, it is really called the heavens and the earth, and the earth is not spiritual, and there is only the share of waiting for death. The ocean is very large, there are very few ships on the mainland that can go out to the ocean, and the chance of encountering them is also very small, and because of Wu Tian's blind command, they have long been far away from the original route, and there is no chance to meet other ships.
"I think it'...... so"
Just as Wu Tian was about to say something, a stout man suddenly rushed from the side, his appearance was full of fear, as if he had just seen something that made him extremely jealous.
"What's the matter? panic!" the captain saw that it was his deputy, but he didn't know why he was not watching from the cockpit.
"We ...... We've seen the Eye of Death!"
"What? Then don't turn around!" the captain was taken aback, he knew what the "Eye of Death" was, this was the most dangerous place in the ocean, this was the legendary strange sea, and no one could ever come out if they entered.
"We've turned around and left. ”
The so-called "Eye of Death" is a large area of the sea, and it is not possible to bypass it, but now it can only turn around and rush back, return to the dock of the Western Regions and then go to the Eastern Regions from the right route.
"Okay, very good!" The captain wiped the cold sweat that had just broken out on his face, he felt that it was no longer important to talk to Wu Tian about what he was talking about, but he had heard that this strange sea area would move, and it was nothing when it was slow, just dodge, when it was fast, it was more than ten times faster than the speed of the steamer, and he couldn't escape at all. "It'...... Did it catch up?"
"......" The captain asked the key point, and the deputy who was asked was even more frightened, which made the captain who asked the captain bring up the heart that had just been half relieved.
"Caught up?" the captain caught the look on the coin's face, knowing that something was wrong, "and what are you doing here?"
"Captain, it's coming after us, but it's not fast, we can turn around soon, and we'll be able to run away!"
It is not as simple as a car on the road to turn around at sea, especially if you want to maintain a certain speed and turn around, you have to sail a very wide arc. Of course, if you are in the near sea, or near an island or something, the bottom of the sea is not too deep, and it is okay to lower the anchor and turn around, but if you want to maintain a certain speed, it will capsize.
The captain didn't rush to the cockpit, the ship was already turning around, and what he could do now, his men could do it, otherwise the ship's mate wouldn't have come to report to him personally. The captain left Wu Tian and ran to the side of the boat to look into the distance. If it weren't for the fog in the east, but the sun had already moved to the west, it was estimated that it would have been dark for a long time, and the captain would not have waited for the ship's mate to report before he knew something was wrong.
The sea area of fog is very large, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance, it is moving, like the black clouds in the sky slowly passing towards the clear sky, not fast, but not slow. Because the sea area is so large, it cannot be said that it is coming for ships, in fact, as long as the ships to the west of it will have the idea of being chased, as long as it is moving.
"Boss Wu, let's not talk about it, we can't be caught up by it, it's over, now there is no way out, we can only rush back to the Western Regions Dock, return to the right route, and we will go to the Eastern Regions." Whether Wu Tian agreed or not, the captain did not ask for advice, but said his plan.
Wu Tian watched the captain leave, and did not make a sound, and finally reached out and nodded a few times, his face was speechless, and he looked back at the little soul who had already sat beside him and said, "I tell you, these people are barbarians, and they don't speak politely at all." The boat was rented by me, and if you say that you will turn around, you will turn around, and you will not ask me a word, Master told you, if they are not a monopoly industry, whoever looks for them, the service is poor, poor, so bad that you can't say it!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the little soul replied heartlessly as she ate the refreshment that was supposed to be hers.
"What is, eat quickly, we are going to pick up someone, the master who ate has already brought it, I originally wanted you to practice for another month before leaving, but now that I have met it, I won't wait. ”
"Pick up someone?" Before the little soul could swallow the snack in his mouth, he looked at Wu Tian with confused eyes.
"Yes, pick up someone, your junior sister!"
Little Soul's junior sister, there will be no one else, because Little Soul will only know one junior sister in the future, and that is Norris. Norris traveled to the other world because of a treasure, and worshipped Wu Tian as a teacher, and the senior sister is the soul of a thousand souls, a little girl and a little soul.
The ship was still turning around in a desperate turn, but the ten crew members on board were lonely to see that their only pair of passengers had left the ship and were treading water, heading for the strange sea known as the "Eye of Death".
This strange sea area, once you enter it, is white, there is no vision at all, at most you can see things three meters away, maybe this is also the reason why all ships can only enter and not exit, after all, it is taboo to get lost at sea. But is it really because of this that all boaters are so afraid of this sea?
"Master, where are we going?"
The little soul has been carried by Wu Tian for two days, and he has been walking on the white sea, giving the little soul the feeling that he has been spinning in place, after all, it is the same scene wherever he goes, and he has not changed places at all. Perhaps because of the special sea area, the sea here is particularly calm, surprisingly calm, and even gives people the feeling of an inland lake, which makes it convenient for Wu Tian to act.
"Master, I don't know, we have to find the eye of the storm, and your junior sister will come out of there. But this area is too big to find. Wu Tian was not in a hurry, but he only knew the existence of this sea area and knew where its magic was, but he didn't have the ability to discern the direction in it. This sea area is so big, that area is countless times larger than a country, and it is extremely difficult to sense a trace of someone's breath in such a large place.
Wu Tian brought enough food, and he was not afraid of starving the little soul, but he came this time to find this dead domain, just to take Noris out, you must know that Noris crossed over from the Kama Continent and almost died in this sea area, and it was fortunate that his two souls of heaven and earth took it away to save her.
Therefore, if Wu Tian can't find the eye of the storm in time and save Noris who came out of there, then Noris will be dead, and this trip to reincarnation will be in vain.
However, the sea area is too big, and being in a hurry can't solve the problem, Wu Tian took the little soul to look for the sea for a month and still couldn't find a clue. Wu Tian already has a small boat in his collection with a space ring, which can be used by his master and apprentice to rest, but I have to say that although the ship is convenient, it does not move as fast as holding the little soul by himself, so when he is not resting, Wu Tian puts the boat away.
"Master, the fog has finally lifted!"
On this day, Wu Tian took out the ship and put it at sea to rest, he closed his eyes and let the boat drift, but the little soul kept looking left and right curiously, not because it made the fog to the surrounding sea area never get tired of looking, but her little heart has been thinking about the possible existence of the "little junior sister" that Wu Tian said, so when Wu Tian rested, she still looked around from time to time, hoping to see someone appear. On this day, the little soul still didn't see anyone appear, but it saw that the sea fog that seemed to exist forever disappeared, and a bright light appeared in front of it, revealing the rough sea.
"Huh?" Wu Tian opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and he also found that his master and apprentice had actually walked out of the sea area that was forever obscured by fog. "Let's go!"
Wu Tian suddenly picked up the little soul in one hand, jumped up after putting the ship away, and swept forward like lightning, he knew that it was impossible to leave the "Eye of Death" by letting the ship move on its own, because the sea water flowed from the outside to the inside, although he couldn't find the direction, he knew very well the reason for the formation of this sea area.
There was no sea fog blocking his vision, and Wu Tian's sense of direction was much better. Although the human eye is easily deceived and sometimes it is better to feel it, but when it is too vast and there is no purpose to be found, it really feels like there is no eye. Well, now the boundary between foggy and non-foggy places is obvious, as long as you carry the fog area on your back, you will definitely be able to reach the place, and at this time, it is daytime, although the sky has been covered by strange clouds, but the light is still enough, and everything near and far can be seen clearly.
Wu Tian didn't know how far he had moved with the little soul in his arms, and when the light gradually dimmed, Wu Tian knew that it was now close to night outside, but he also knew that he was not far from his destination.
"What is that?" In Wu Tian's arms, the little soul suddenly saw something strange.
I saw that not far ahead, the clouds continued to disperse in all directions as if they were erupting, and the sky had begun to darken, and people who didn't know couldn't see anything famous, but they just thought that the clouds were a little strange. However, it wasn't these things that made the little soul feel strange and unwilling to blink, but the strange tornado that was farther away.
Since it is a tornado, it is no different from other tornadoes, except that it is more tyrannical, the wind is more violent, and it looks the same, but it is strange that it is red all over its body, and it looks like a wheal of flames.
As the two of them got closer and closer to the tornado, they began to feel an inexplicable suction, and they kept dragging the two of them in, but this bit of suction naturally couldn't help Wu Tian, but there was a heat wave in the suction, and if it was an ordinary person, it was estimated that it would be roasted now.
Finally, Wu Tian stood a hundred meters away from the tornado with suction and heat, it is estimated that it is right, this tornado is really made of flames, like a fire spirit consciously rolling, moving, not moving fast, but it does feel that it is moving. Due to the suction, the tornado constantly rolls up the seawater, and then due to the heat, the seawater is evaporated, and it loses weight instantly, and the centrifugal force caused by the tornado flies outward, which is the source of the strange cloud formation. With such a large tornado and such high temperatures, the amount of sea water evaporating each time is very huge, and such an action is continuous, it is easy to cause clouds in the sky and sea fog on all sides.
"Eye of the Storm!" Wu Tian stopped moving, knowing that he had found a place, and he had calculated the time, and he should not have missed the time of Nonris's time. "Alright, we're at the place. ”
"Where's my sister?"
As soon as the little soul heard the ground, her big eyes showed excitement, and she kept looking around, just wanting to see some small figures she wanted to see. Children like companions, and although she now has the closest person, that is, her master Wu Tian, she is still very excited when she hears that there will be a junior sister. Now the little soul is already familiar with the words "master" and "sister", and knows that a sister means that she is a little girl who is a little younger than herself, and if such a little friend is with her every day, she will definitely be happy.
"Well," Wu Tian pinched his fingers, "It's almost out, you're ......"
Wu Tian wanted to step forward to pick up Norris, and originally wanted to say that the little soul would stay where he was and wait for him, but the sea water here was pulled by the tornado and continued to flow towards the tornado's location, that is, he could withstand it.
"You go to Master's back and hold Master tight!" Wu Tian thought about it and changed his plan.
"Oh", the master and apprentice have been together for a long time, and the little soul has already regarded Wu Tian as his own father, and there is no strangeness when he first met, as soon as he heard what Wu Tian said, the little soul consciously climbed up on the back of Wu Tian, who was squatting down, and grabbed Wu Tian's shoulders tightly with a pair of small hands, for fear that it would be reversed.
"Hold it tight, Master Stay will pick up your junior sister, but you can't spare your hand. Wu Tian stood up straight, so that the little soul's body was about to slide down, Xiao Nizi quickly bent her feet and circled Wu Tian's waist, and a pair of small hands also grasped it tighter, so that her body was tightly attached to Wu Tian's back, but she didn't fall down.
"Whew", suddenly, the fiery red tornado suddenly continued to splash out in the middle of the long flames, as if the long sock tube had been pierced from the middle. And at the same time, Wu Tian's eyes also narrowed tightly, "Get up!" In the next moment, Wu Tianmeng's eyes widened, and his body rose into the air, this action was so sudden that Xiao Soul almost let go, but fortunately, she has been practicing wielding a big sword these days, and the strength of her little hand is not small, she just stabilized her body and didn't let her body leave Wu Tian's back.
As Wu Tian said, he had been flawlessly distracted to take care of the little soul, and his rising body shot out like lightning, in the direction of the tornado breach that was splashing with flames. (To be continued.) )
