"Wow - so this is the Western Isles?"

In the cab, lying by the window on a summer night, curiously looking out. As for Yaha, the others had already met countless times, and were now gathered around the chart table to discuss.

The Western Islands are a floating island, the kind of floating island that was fictionalized in the fantasy works of the original world. Large and small rocky islands are scattered in a ribbon above the sea of clouds, the largest being several times larger than the Moby-Dick, and the small one is only the size of a tabletop.

Bounded by the Western Islands, the Etheric Sea takes on a different color. The clouds west of the archipelago are generally darker, the deepest even close to red, and on a summer night, the layers of clouds stretch to the limit of the field of vision, and there is no end in sight.

Having had enough of the view from the window, Summer Night returned to the chart table and stood in the space between Tang Li and Yaha. Yahazheng was gesturing on the chart as he said, "The group of whales we met two days ago was hunted by moths in the airspace east of the archipelago, which means that the airspace is more dangerous than ever for whales.

"So I think it's very unlikely that the beluga whale is still in the airspace southeast of the archipelago, and it's very likely that it is hiding in the airspace near the west of the archipelago, and possibly even further west in the deep sea area.

"Our previous plan was to search the shallow sea area on the west side of the archipelago, and if we didn't find beluga whales, we would go around the archipelago and return to the southeastern airspace, but now, I plan to modify the route - if there is no beluga whale found in the shallow sea area on the west side, we will go directly to the deep sea area to search, and the search range will not exceed 5,000 nautical miles, which is a one-day voyage in a straight line, and if we still can't find it after 2-3 days of searching, we will return to the southeast sea to try our luck."

"What if you don't find it there?" Summer Night asked.

Ahab was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Then let's sail back to Debussota." ”

Xia Ye didn't answer, she knew that if Yaha didn't find Moby Dick, she wouldn't give up so easily, of course Xia Ye didn't want to, but this kind of thing is not suitable to say it now, she can only take one step at a time...... Maybe we'll spot a beluga whale tomorrow?

"The deep sea zone is dangerous, and there are no charts there." The first mate reminded.

"I know." Yahar was prepared for this question: "So I said I would only search within 5,000 nautical miles, and I had been in that airspace and knew where there were aetheric eddies and where aetheric wind shear was susceptible, and I would mark them on the chart so that I could avoid most of the dangers." ”

"It is said that there are creatures in the deep sea that are more dangerous than whales." Tang Li said.

"I've heard that too, but no one can say exactly what it is, and maybe everyone I've seen it is dead." "So, once we're in the deep ocean, we're not just looking for whales, we're looking for anything that might be wrong." ”

"If we do, we'll just kill it." Xia Ye had an expression that was not afraid of the sky and the earth, "No matter how powerful you are, you can't be more powerful than the moth beast that hunted the entire whale group, right?" Even if that moth beast was eaten by my cat, one tentacle was lost. ”

Xiu also "meowed" in agreement.

Tang Li listened and nodded thoughtfully: "Summer Night Dao...... Miss Summer Night was right. ”

"Sister Tang Li doesn't need to be so rusty, if you don't mind, just call me 'Sister Summer Night'." Summer Night said with a smile.

Tang Li nodded again a little embarrassed.

The chief engineer said, "Fuel, enough." ”

This sentence did not need to be translated by Yaha, and everyone understood what she meant. Now there are nearly 30,000 moles of whale oil stored in the cargo hold, even if you enter the deep sea to search, the fuel is more than enough, the only thing to worry about is whether you can get satisfactory results after spending precious whale oil to search for beluga whale.

"If everyone doesn't object, let's search for beluga whales along this route." Yaha said, "Next, let's discuss the battle plan for hunting beluga whales. ”

……

Over the next few days, the Moby Dick sailed north to south along the western side of the archipelago at a cruising speed of 200 knots. For the first day or two, she looked out the window from time to time on a summer night and admired the floating islands of different sizes and shapes, but after two days, she was tired of seeing them.

The lookout never found any sign of whales, and the life of the past few days was so idle that the summer night complained of boredom, but Yaha said that this was the norm of whaling, and it was not uncommon to not find whales, as it was the other day, and it was not normal to encounter whales and moths as soon as they went out to sea.

So, teaching Tang Li's "Maxwell's Dafa" has become the only fun every day in the summer night, and Tang Li has begun to ask various questions in the past few days, at first the summer night can still be answered, but gradually the questions are getting more and more difficult, and the summer night can't answer them.

She had no choice but to tell Tang Li the truth: "When the master taught this method, he was lazy by nature, so ... often fishes, and in the end, when the master is assessed, he barely passes the test with a little cleverness. Therefore, I really don't know how to answer many of the questions raised by Sister Tang Li......

Tang Li said very understandingly: "It's okay, Sister Xia Ye is willing to teach this 'Maxwell Dafa' to this Sword Immortal, and this Sword Immortal is already grateful, how dare he get Long Wangshu." ”

Then she sighed again: "These Japanese sword immortals have studied the 'Maxwell Dafa', and the more they study, the more they find that this method has many changes and profound mysteries, but so many changes can be attributed to the four general outlines, which shows that this method is in line with the principle of 'the road to simplicity', and it is worthy of being a technique that points to the root of the rules."

"As for that 'Electromagnetic Ancestor' Maxwell, he must also be a peerless genius, right? It's a pity that this Sword Immortal couldn't be born in the same world as her, otherwise, I really want to learn from her. ”

After listening to this, Xia Ye blinked and said, "I don't think he can beat you, really." ”

……

In addition to teaching Tang Li, there are only two small things left that can leave an impression on the summer night in the past few days:

The first thing is that the chief engineer seems to like repairs. In the past few days, she took the initiative to take cat food to feed it, and the cat food she brought - it was a whale's wing bone fragment, although it was a little beyond Xia Ye's knowledge of cat food, but Xiu Ji ate it very happily.

I don't know if it's an illusion of a summer night, but I always feel that Xiu Ji has grown fatter and fatter in the past few days.

"Thank you for bringing something to Xiu Ji to eat, Chief Engineer." Summer Night thanks.

After Xiu Ji had eaten his fill, he went to sleep again.

"My name is Xiu." Chief Engineer.

Summer Night nodded her head to indicate that she understood, and then asked, "Do you like cats very much?" ”

"Like, this ......"

Xiu pointed to Xiu, who was sleeping heavily, and said four words, and after nearly ten seconds, she finally said the remaining three words:

"Shapeshifter."

Shapeshifting cats? Summer Night found out that the other party was quite good at choosing a name. She thought about it for a while, and felt that in the future, she might be able to summon her fellow cultivators with "Rift", so she said:

"I also got it by accident, if there are more shape-shifting cats in the future, I'll give you one."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Xiu's dull face that had not changed for ten thousand years.

"Thank you, you."

She thanked her heartily.

After another ten seconds, she added three words.

"You, good man."

Thank you~ Summer Night said in my heart.

The second thing is that Summer Night finally knows the name of the first mate, Nexes.

It's a pretty awkward name, but other than that, she doesn't have any other feelings.

……

After a full four-day voyage, the Moby Dick completed a search of the western offshore area of the archipelago and found no whales.

It's a bit disappointing, but it's expected.

Without hesitation, Yaha ordered the whaling ship to immediately turn northwest and sail into the deep sea.
