Chapter 359: Endless Sea, Preparations
"Hmm...... this is a tidal barrier? It stands to reason that if you want to pass normally, you can only take this opening that was blown out by the Morning Star, but at present, the risk is very high, and it cannot be ruled out that the Bailong Sect will stay here, come and do a boat, and teach you how to pass through this channel you marked?"
Wang Yu's hand swept over the huge map, and his gaze and gaze stayed on a scale-to-scale reproduction of an astonishingly large sky-blue irregular area, which was blue like the ocean, but there was a clear dividing line around it that was divided from the normal Endless Sea area.
This is one of the few known wonders of this world, where gravity and a large number of known parameters are completely confused or opposite.
In this area known as the tidal barrier, the main gravity is reversed, and the water will flow backwards when it enters this area, and the endless sea turns upside down here, forming this tidal barrier.
The dividing line of the gravity anomaly area of the tidal barrier is roughly based on the sea level, and if the ship passes through it, if it goes directly into it, it will be torn in half by the gravity reversed at the junction, of course, this is only part of the danger, otherwise the tidal barrier would not be so difficult to cross.
The upper limit of this inverted sea is the dissociation layer, that is, the top of the tidal barrier, which leads straight to the dissociation layer.
And in this area, the height of the dissociation layer is quite unstable, once you enter it, in the face of the tidal barrier, all kinds of chaotic and powerful anomalous marine activities that are far greater than the normal ocean are several levels, once they are thrown to the upper layer, it is very likely to be captured by the dissociation layer, and those who have no room for resistance will die without a place to bury.
It is actually quite easy to avoid being captured and killed by the dissociation layer, after all, its height is very high, and it is not easy to cross such a thick layer of sea to reach the top and be torn to pieces by the dissociation layer.
Speaking of other threats, the gravitational conditions inside the tidal barrier are also very fatal, gravity is an almost random parameter in it, and gravity can invert at any time while traveling inside the tidal barrier.
External factors such as water pressure are completely unascertained, and you may be exposed to the level of shallow sea water one second, and the next second it has risen to the extreme weight of tens of thousands of meters of ocean.
In short, there are so many dangers to tidal barriers, including the extreme environmental biomes that live within them, that few ships will try to cross them, after all, there is not much to be gained.
Although some of the treasures bred inside the tidal barrier have their own irreplaceable roles, if you want to encounter them, then "looking for a needle in a haystack" is not an adjective, and it is really not worth risking your life on this luck.
Before the explosion of the Morning Star, in addition to the organization called "Explorer" on the mainland, a great knight was formed to base the strength of the peak, and the peak powerhouse belonged to the legendary peak fleet.
With the strength to transcend the limit, it forcibly broke free from the shackles and broke through the tidal barrier, and recorded the situation of the endless sea area beyond the tidal barrier, no other fleet can break through this natural barrier.
So generally speaking, if you want to cross the tidal barrier, the only feasible way now is to take the gap in the anomalous area, when the impact of the Morning Star explosion swept across the continent, the whole world was changed by it, and the tidal barrier that seemed to be like the axiom of heaven and earth was also broken through, and a gap appeared in one of the areas.
Within the gap, the tidal barrier returns to the normal ocean, allowing ships to navigate the surface of the sea normally, safely crossing this dangerous area and exploring the seemingly endless ocean.
The team of explorers returned to the mainland after a long journey, documenting some of the conditions outside the tidal barriers.
Outside of the tidal barrier, there seems to be no continent as huge as the continent where Wang Yu and the others are at the moment, only some large-scale archipelagos, and the creatures living on them are also quite different from those on the mainland.
The reason for the explorers' return is also simple, the endless sea voyage has made them feel indescribable loneliness, this endless ocean seems to be slowly swallowing everything, and the farther they go, the more they realize their insignificance.
Then the nameless fear that came from the bottom of their hearts engulfed them, no matter how strong they were, whether the Great Knight or the Legend could not support the curiosity that drove them to continue to explore the unknown and seek the unknown.
Of course, there were a few outliers in the team of explorers who did not feel the sense of fear, but became more and more excited, and instead of returning with the large group, they chose to continue sailing outward to explore the unknown areas of the Endless Sea, and hundreds of years have passed since the detachment, and these people who chose to continue sailing are still not heard from.
"In the end, the perception and influence of our intelligent races on this world is just like that, the vast area of the Endless Sea is completely black in our eyes, and even the impact of the invasion of abyssal creatures has only affected our continent, which is pitifully small compared to the Endless Sea."
"I'm sorry, I'm a little off topic, but it's a feeling I got from seeing a lot of information about the Endless Sea when I was investigating the route, but that's really not the point."
"When I checked the information, I found that in fact, the tidal barrier had a passage through which the tide barrier was blown up by the morning star."
"However, due to the severity of the restrictions and the fact that no one has deliberately explored the area, the existence of this passage is completely obscured by the reputation of the gap, and almost no one knows about it, and it is not recorded in most of the information."
"Fortunately, this is the Sky Machinery City, which has a huge number of secrets that are not recorded by the outside world, and I can only know this path after carefully searching and checking it, if you want to avoid the minions of the Dragon Worship Sect, it is a very good choice to pass through the sea tide barrier through this path."
Ziggy first sighed a little, and then began to introduce how the channel he drew passed through the tidal barrier without passing through the gap blown up by the morning star, and there was a high probability that there was a dragon worship on that side to be guarded at all times, and the risk was too great.
"This place seems to be the territory of the merman clan."
Wang Yu looked at the place where the channel and the tidal barrier intersected drawn by Zigger, flipped through his memory, and remembered that this place seemed to be the territory of the merman clan.
The mermaid clan is similar to the mermaid in the traditional story of the earth, with a human body and a fish tail, and they are generally very good-looking, and they are very good at singing, but they really meet Wang Yu's first impression of them.
The reason why this race is not counted among the five races is that they can actually only live in the Endless Sea and the coastal sea, and the ocean beyond is the territory of the deep sea giants, and those super giant creatures bred by the vast ocean are difficult to compete with with manpower.
In addition, the overall strength is average, although you can turn your legs and feet ashore, but you will be weakened twice, and at the same time, there has never been any Roland, and a talent like Sulla has been reduced to the same level as the goblins who live with the dwarves now.
By the way, there are also fish people, and those guys with fish heads but human bodies can be said to be the shortest of a hundred schools, and there are few longs, except for being able to breathe underwater and run on shore, there is almost no merit.
There is no brain, and there is no combat power, and they are fighting each other with wooden sticks on the shore of the Endless Sea all day long, arguing from day to night, and the actual combat power is about a quarter of a giant crab, so that Wang Yu was very suspicious of the meaning of the existence of this group of guys when he knew about this group of fish-headed people.
Later, knowing that these five scumbags can survive until now is because of the favor of the Lord of the Sea and the Storm on this group of fishmen, he began to doubt himself, and then compared the believers and aesthetics of the Night Lady a little, and he came to the conclusion that the Lord of the Sea and the Storm is estimated to be a fish-headed person, otherwise why would he give these fish-headed people so much sunshine, and the merman clan does not have this treatment.
"Yes, that's it, this information itself was written by a scholar of the merman race, and their race is also the only race that has simple activities inside the tidal barrier by virtue of its innate advantage, so I accidentally knew the changes that the tidal barrier would occur at a specific moment."
"Every year when the color of the Magic Moon advances to red, one of the areas within the Merman Clan's territory will gradually open a passage over time, and when the Magic Moon completely turns bloody, that passage will also completely penetrate the Tide Barrier."
"Exists in a Blood Moon
For a few days, this passage would remain until it collapsed when the blood began to fade, and the mermaids had used this passage to leave the tidal barrier, and it was generally safe to be sure."
Ziggy spoke in more detail about the passage he had chosen, and the method of crossing the tidal barrier.
"Hmm...... It's already the Deep Blue Moon now, which means that in about half a month, the Moon of Magic will turn into a Blood Moon, and if we want to cross the Tide Barrier within this year, we will at least be on the shores of the Endless Sea."
Avia looked out the window, it was night too, and the bright magical moon in the sky was a deep blue color, unusually beautiful, and she said her judgment of what to do next
"Is it the effect of the gravitational pull of the moon in this world?"
Wang Yu muttered in his heart, without thinking about it, there are too many things that the science and technology that the earth already has in this world cannot be explained, and the fact that the light moon will change color is strange enough.
The Magic Moon changes three colors in a year, bright yellow, blue, and blood, and the time ratio is about 90%, 9%, and 1% respectively.
For the most part, the Magic Moon is bright yellow, nothing special, and the blue Magic Moon will cause a tide of mana, which can be both good and bad for mages.
During the Blood Moon, some strange things will pop up, and at the same time, some creatures and even intelligent races will also be affected by the Blood Moonlight, and their spirits will be abnormal and even fall into frenzy, and the power of the Night Clan will be greatly enhanced during this period.
However, the creatures of this world have stayed together with the magic moon for hundreds of years, and they have long been clear about this set, even if it sounds like a very mysterious blood moon, Wang Yu himself has experienced a few times and found that it is just like that, those werewolves howl like *** It is also quite funny.
"Professor, do you know any mermaids, when the time comes, the ships will have to rely on those professionals, and we still have too little experience in this area after all."
Wang Yu raised his head and asked Qi Ge, Qi Ge is so old, he should know a lot of people, maybe he knows a few merman clans, and the elf elders are all his friends.
"You are really embarrassed for me, it was my sister who fled from the Endless Sea to the mainland with me and Noelle, how dare you stay near the Endless Sea, how can you know the existence of the mermaid race. It's going to be."
Zig showed a helpless wry smile, saying that he really didn't have any friends of the merman clan, and he brought the sea chart this time with the original intention of discussing it with Wang Yu and them, in fact, he was not very willing to involve Wang Yu and Avia in the affairs of the dragon clan, out of the Endless Sea, the risk will rise rapidly, if you can......
"Hmm...... It's a bit of a hassle, and it's not right, I remember that the Endless Sea is beyond the snowy peak of Santa Anna on the side of Sewintan, and it just so happens that the mission of the Night Church is quite smooth there, maybe there will be followers of the merman tribe, and it is not okay to go around that side."
Wang Yu patted his head, this indifferent archbishop now remembers that his followers are good.
