It may be that the two sides that clashed before were tired, or they were divided into winners and losers, so the original violent water attribute aura on the sea surface calmed down a lot compared to before.

It's just that the storm brought by the battle is not so easy to subside, so Liang En and the others can only brave the rain pouring down like a waterfall and the endless wind, riding the wind and waves all the way forward.

"What a powerful force!" Sensing the residual spiritual power in the air, Liang En, who was originally complacent because of the growth of hundreds of years of cultivation in a short period of time, slowly calmed down in his heart.

As a fellow cultivator, he could clearly feel how powerful these beings who could change the world with their gestures were, and he was the same as an ordinary person facing a cultivator compared to that kind of power.

As his mentality gradually stabilized, Liang En felt that the original shackles on his body had been broken, and his control over the previous sudden increase in spiritual power had also risen to a new level.

"What a surprise!" Liang En sighed after sensing the changes in his body, and then summoned up his spiritual power and shouted outside, "Ao Lei, have you found anything?" ”

"Yes!" At this time, Ao Lei, who had turned into a dragon and floated above the mast, looked into the distance and shouted, "Go west, if there is no problem with the wind and the flow of the sea, they should be trapped near the ocean current——"

"Okay!" After listening to Ao Lei's analysis, Liang En commanded the lantern gods on the ship to operate the ship to the west, and then searched in the southwest direction little by little under Ao Lei's command.

"See—" Just over three hours after her departure, Ao Lei suddenly let out a cheer and rushed into the surrounding water, and soon a piece of wood was thrown onto the deck.

"This is the side panel of the ship." Picking up the wooden board and taking a look, Liang En figured out what the purpose of the wooden board was, "Judging from the traces above, this side board should have been cut down by someone on its own initiative." ”

The discovery of the side panels was a good thing, because when the deck of the ship was flooded due to a storm, the sailors would cut off part of the planks to drain the water, which meant that the ship was in danger and did not sink immediately

"That boat should be in the southwest direction." After listening to Liang En's words, she jumped into the water and spun around twice, and Ao Lei flew into the sky again and pointed out where the ship was most likely to be now.

It's not easy to find a ship from the complex meteorological and hydrological conditions around it, and only dragons like Ao Lei can trace the traces of that ship from the complex sea conditions.

After continuing to sail in the storm for about half an hour, the blue-black mountains appeared in view, and after a brief examination of the instrument, Liang En found that it was the Noto Peninsula that appeared in front of him.

The Noto Peninsula is a peninsula jutting out of the Whale Sea in the north-central part of the island of Honshu. It is the largest peninsula on the Toei side of the Whale Sea. The shallow hills are undulating, with valleys in between, making it one of the most fertile lands on the island.

At the same time, the peninsula happened to be in the middle of the northern route from west to east from the Liaodong Peninsula, so it was theoretically possible that the migrant ship ran aground somewhere on the peninsula.

Just a dozen minutes after rounding the tip of the peninsula, Liang En saw a little fire on the shoreline, and the silhouette of two large ships stranded in the shallows under the light of the fire.

"If I'm not mistaken, there's only one missing ship, right?" After repeatedly confirming that there were two boats on the shore, Liang asked Ao Lei, who had transformed into a human form.

"That's right, I'm sure one of the boats is the missing migrant boat, but the point is what is the other boat?" Ao Lei asked as she looked at the ship in the distance seriously.

"It was like a European sailboat." After a closer look, Liang En probably judged the type of boat, "A Caravera." ”

"Calavera? What is that? After hearing a term that she had never heard before, Ao Lei was full of curiosity. I have never heard of such ships. ”

"Because this kind of ship, a relatively new type of Western ship, may only be thirty or forty years old from its birth, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it-"

During the storm, Liang En carefully steered the ship to avoid the surrounding reefs and approach the shore, while introducing Ao Lei to the strange ship that ran aground on the shore.

The inventors of the Calavera were the Portuguese on the Atlantic coast, and unlike many people think, European sailing was very backward until at least the 14th century.

This situation was purely due to the fact that European sailing ships at that time were either sailing in the Baltic Sea or the Mediterranean, all of which were closed or semi-enclosed, and there were few winds and waves, so naturally there was no need for highly skilled ships.

Therefore, only the Portuguese, who faced the Atlantic sea breeze, invented the Calavera sailing ship in order to cope with the complex sea conditions of the Atlantic.

This type of sailboat is characterized by hanging the middle part of a long truss from the upper end of the mast, which slopes down against the end of the bow and is secured with a rope, and the other end is upturned so that it can rotate freely around the mast.

In this way, the triangular sail itself can be effectively balanced, with the help of the wind to turn freely and move forward in adverse conditions, which is also a manifestation of the Europeans learning the Abel dhow.

However, unlike the Arab ships, the hull of this ship is a flat structure, with a length-to-width ratio of 3.5:1 and a displacement of about 150 tons, and it is precisely because of the more robust manufacturing method that it was able to survive storms.

Historically, this type of sailing ship is a representative of the light ocean-going sailing ship in Europe, and the first person in Europe to cross the Cape of Good Hope rode on this Calavera sailing ship, which was the cornerstone of the first Portuguese colonial empire.

"But why would such a ship appear in the Far East?" Liang En muttered to himself.

Because in his memory, the Age of Discovery for Westerners should have gradually begun more than half a century later, and the time to reach the Far East should have been even later.

However, it is impossible to know the reason for this by thinking alone, so after getting ready, the ship controlled by Liang En began to approach the coast.

It was not easy to get close to the reef-filled coastline on a dark night full of storms, and thanks to Ao Lei's reconnaissance, he was able to get the boat close to about 50m from the shoreline.

Whoa—

With a sound of metal grinding, the anchor was thrown into the sea, and then the largest lifeboat on Liang's ship was slowly lowered into the sea under the manipulation of the lantern gods.

"Let's take a closer look at the boats." After taking a look at his surroundings, Liang En pointed to two boats not far away. "We need to determine the situation of those ships before we can proceed to the next step."

"No problem." Ao Lei nodded slightly. The index finger of his right hand bent and tapped on the side of the ship, and in the next moment the boat sailed like an arrow from a string towards the two ships that looked as if they were stranded on the reef.

Due to the surrounding mountains, the wind and waves in this area were not too strong, so the small boat piloted by the two men soon approached the Calavera sailing ship that was closer to them.

And as soon as they approached the sailboat, they saw a huge crack in the side of the ship that almost ran through the entire length of the ship.

"Don't look, the ship is finished." With just one glance, Liang En pronounced the death sentence of the sailboat. He didn't think that a ship with even a broken keel would have a chance to float again.
