Boundless sea.

This is the eighteenth day that Zhao Ya and the others have come out, but as far as the eye can see, there is still only the endless sea.

The sea reflected the scenery of the sky, and it was as if the whole world had been destroyed, and only this black ship remained, and it was extremely lonely.

In the control room, Shi Bolong was humming a little song in his mouth and drinking wine in a wheelchair.

Zhao Ya on the side was studying the thick nautical atlas.

Shi Bolong looked sideways for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "My lord, this navigation atlas was given by the Tianji Gate when I bought this black ship, and most of the information on it has expired, and there is not much reference value for the current voyage at all, so you don't have to look at it all the time." ”

For all those who make a living on the boundless seas, the most important thing for their lives is the sea information, in addition to the boats.

It is no exaggeration to say that a detailed and accurate piece of nautical information is invaluable.

In particular, information on off-the-beaten-path areas away from busy sea routes is invaluable.

The reason for this is that the infinite sea is mysterious and dangerous, and it is very risky to drive rashly without a reference.

In addition, the sea is not as good as the land, and the information is constantly changing, which leads to the preciousness of nautical information.

And the navigation atlas attached to Tianjimen is basically a big road cargo, and the information recorded in it is basically some busy sea information, plus so much time has passed, so there is not much value at all.

Zhao Ya said without raising his head: "I know, I'll just take a look." ”

Although the outdated nautical information is useless for navigation, it is very useful for Zhao Ya.

He can see a lot of things through this.

For example, the composition of this side of the world, and how many worlds are connected by those busy sea routes, etc.

Shi Bolong pursed his lips when he heard this, and then stopped talking.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhao Ya finally raised his head and let out a sigh.

He had read all of this thick nautical atlas, and his understanding of the outside world had deepened.

But the more this is the case, the more incredible Zhao Ya feels.

Because the world is just too big.

Each of the seaways in this nautical atlas connects many worlds, and each of them is no smaller than the outer worlds, and some of them are unimaginably vast in size.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Infinite Sea, and it is not known how many areas have not been recorded or even visited by no one.

Therefore, as Zhao Ya, who has received a complete scientific education, it is really hard to imagine how big a planet can carry so many worlds.

It stands to reason that planets have a limit to their volume, and they become stars when they reach an extreme value.

But soon Zhao Ya put this thought behind him.

This world is obviously not to be measured by the standards of previous lives.

Otherwise, this boundless sea alone would not have been possible.

"Where are we now?" Zhao Ya asked.

Shi Bolong glanced at the positioning on the water screen, "I have left the no-man's land, and I can reach the nearest sea route in a few days." ”

The speed of the black ship on the sea was very fast, and the timing of their coming out this time was very good, and the road was calm, and they sailed out of the fog of the Wufu Sea without encountering any obstacles.

When they came to the boundless sea, not to mention those raging sea monsters, they didn't even encounter the bigger wind and waves, so they sailed out of the no-man's land so quickly.

"Well, so you're about to reach the first world?" Zhao Ya asked.

"That's right, I see what the first world was...... Well, it is the Xiashan Tiger Realm, a world that respects the horizontal alchemy technique, which belongs to the Dachengyuan Baoshan, and its strength is in the middle. Shi Bolong told the information he knew.

This is also the reason why Zhao Ya is not in a hurry to get rid of him.

After all, as a disciple of the Worry-Free Longevity Palace, he has been wandering on the sea for so many years, and his experience is very rich, which is far from being comparable to relying on his own information.

For example, now, not only does he know what the first world he arrives in after coming out, but he also knows his backstage and what he is good at, and the division of strength levels.

This also provides great convenience for future voyages.

Of course, this is not to say that Zhao Ya relaxed his vigilance against Shi Bolong.

On the contrary, after these years of contact, Zhao Ya's vigilance against Shi Bolong has increased instead of decreasing.

Because the more he understood, the more he realized that this Shi Bolong was by no means an ordinary person.

If nothing else, let's just say that after his limbs were broken by himself, instead of resentment, he sat in a wheelchair every day, drinking a little wine, looking very happy.

This kind of forbearance alone is very human.

However, Zhao Ya did not show hostility, but behaved very enthusiastically, as if he had relaxed his vigilance against Shi Bolong.

Shi Bolong's performance was similar.

Both of them actually knew each other's thoughts, but they didn't mention it very tacitly, in order to maintain the fragile harmony on the surface.

There was a knock on the door, and the snake girl walked in with a tray.

"My lord, it's time to eat!"

"Let it go."

"Yes!"

The snake girl bowed her head and respectfully put the food on the table, and was about to withdraw.

At this moment, Shi Bolong came to the table in a wheelchair, first glanced at the food, and then looked at the snake girl with a smile.

"I can't see it, your cooking skills are on the rise now!"

Although it is just a few ordinary side dishes, it is full of color and flavor, and it is appetizing just by looking at it.

The snake girl didn't say anything.

For this former master, the attitude of the snake girl is not far away but also not close, unless necessary, she will never say a word to him the rest of the time.

At this moment, Zhao Ya spoke.

"Alright, you go down first!"

The snake girl gave a deep salute, then turned and went out.

Looking at her departing back, Shi Bolong smiled, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Ya.

"You're going to ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the control room.

The two of them were slightly stunned at first, and then rushed to the console.

I saw a picture appear above the water screen.

Above the vast expanse of the sea, a huge ship is speeding at great speed, and behind it are several smaller ships in hot pursuit.

From the data marked on the water screen, it can be known that this scene happened only five or six nautical miles away.

The key point is that the direction in which the ship that rushed to the front is where Zhao Ya and the others are now.

Shi Bolong's face also became a little solemn.

"It's a pirate hunting, and the one at the front should be a merchant ship, but it can't run away, because these pirate ships have been modified and are much faster than ordinary ships."

For Shi Bolong, who has been adrift on the boundless sea for more than ten years, this kind of scene is certainly not the first time he has encountered it, and the method he has adopted to deal with it is also very simple, that is, to avoid it.

Because the actions of these pirates are usually carefully examined and carefully prepared.

After all, there are so many merchant ships at sea, you have to know which merchant ship doesn't have a backstage that is too tough to provoke, and at the same time it has to be loaded with valuable hard currency.

It takes a lot of time to prepare.

Therefore, once the pirates are in action, they will not easily change their targets, and even if you pass by, as long as you put on a posture of staying out of the situation, these pirates will not be out of trouble.

Zhao Ya naturally has nothing to do with this resolution.

Zhao Ya is not opposed to helping within the scope of his ability, but now this situation is obviously not within the scope of his ability.

So under the joint control of the two, the black ship slowly moved away, and it was considered to give way to the position.

At the same time, the ship, which had just been five or six nautical miles away, was already in sight.

After observing through the periscope for a while, Zhao Ya said in a deep voice: "Can you see which caravan this is and which force the pirates behind it belong to?" ”

Shi Bolong shook his head, "I can't see it, not only I can't see it, but it is estimated that no one in the entire Ten Thousand Realms can do what you said." ”

"The forces in the Ten Thousand Worlds are intertwined, and there are many caravans, not to mention the pirates, many of whom even disguise themselves as caravans and become pirates once they encounter a suitable target."

"In this kind of chaotic situation, it is impossible for anyone to tell so clearly, let alone that neither side has raised the flag, it is even more impossible." Shi Bolong said.

In fact, Zhao Ya just asked so casually.

He didn't expect Shi Bolong to know everything.

What he was most curious about was what exactly was on board this merchant ship, so that he was chased by so many pirate ships.

And at this moment, the merchant ship that rushed to the front also discovered Zhao Ya and them, and then as if they had found a life-saving straw, they immediately sounded the whistle.

"Hehe, this is asking us for help." Shi Bolong said for a long time, and at the same time peeked at Zhao Ya, wanting to see what his reaction was.

In Shi Bolong's opinion, this Zhao Ya can unite many warriors to stop him at the beach for the sake of the people in that small world, which obviously proves that he is a person with moral thoughts.

It can't be said that this kind of person is bad, but in the outside world, it is often this kind of person who dies the fastest.

So he wanted to see how he would react to the merchant ship's call for help.

As a result, he didn't expect Zhao Ya to be unmoved at all, but immediately manipulated the console and drove the black ship farther away.

Shi Bolong was a little surprised, and finally couldn't help asking, "You don't plan to save it?" ”

"Save? Why save, do you know this merchant ship? Zhao Ya asked rhetorically.

Shi Bolong shook his head, "I don't know!" ”

"That's not the end of it." Zhao Ya said lightly.

Shi Bolong was a little speechless, and at the same time felt a trace of despair about his situation.

With such a terrible person with a stable mood and a clear mind guarding day and night, how can he get out?

And just as Shi Bolong was thinking about it, the control room of the merchant ship was filled with an air of despair.

A twenty-eight-year-old cardamom girl looked at the black boat on the water screen that was indifferent and even took the initiative to retreat, her face was full of despair.

"Miss, why don't we stop the ship and surrender now, these pirates are generally for money, as long as we agree to their requests, we can save our lives, and as long as our lives are still there, then there is still a chance to turn over." An old man said with a bitter face.

But the girl was unmoved, "Don't say it, this ship carries the hope of family revival, if it falls into the hands of pirates like this, then our Yang family will have no chance to turn over." ”

"But what now?" The old man said with a sad brow.

The girl gritted her teeth, "This black ship is a high-end model of Tianjimen, and being able to afford such a ship obviously proves that the other party's strength is extraordinary, and now it happens to meet us, then only it can save us!" ”

"But the other party has just made it clear that he wants to stay out of it!" The old man said with a puzzled face.

"It's useless to show your attitude, if you don't want to come out, then I'll force it to come out!" A sly look flashed in the girl's eyes, and she ordered.

"Turn around and rush towards the black ship."

The old man was startled.

"Miss, it's ...... for you to do this."

"It's nothing, for the sake of my family, I can only sacrifice the other party!" The girl said coldly.

The old man originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the resolute expression on his eldest lady's face, he knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he could only sigh secretly.

He knew these newly grown children too well, especially the eldest lady who had just turned twenty years old and took charge of a merchant ship on her own, which showed how favored she was in the family.

And because of this, she wants to express herself more and more.

For example, this time it was actually just a routine voyage, but it turned out to be a lot of things given by this eldest lady.

The revival of the family is actually a pretext, and the real purpose is that she doesn't want to return home on the first mission.

But this old butler, who has lived in the boundless sea for most of his life and has great experience, always feels uneasy in his heart.

Will the people who can afford such a high-end black boat be the easy ones?

Will the eldest lady's trick backfire and put herself in a place of no return?

And just when the butler was panicking in his heart, the merchant shipping industry had already adjusted its direction, and they rushed towards Zhao Ya.

In the control room, Zhao Ya and Shi Bolong raised their eyebrows at the same time after seeing this scene, and then quickly glanced at each other.

"Tsk, are the merchant ships doing things so violently now, and others don't want to save them and pull them into the water?" Shi Bolong sighed.

"Is this ship sturdy?" Zhao Ya asked suddenly.

"Who do you ask? The other party or us? Shi Bolong said.

"Let's do this!"

"It must be strong, and even the price is different, in order to buy this black ship, I almost took out the bone marrow and sold it, just the merchant ship opposite, I can buy it for five...... it! ”

Shi Bolong exclaimed, because at this moment, Zhao Ya controlled the black ship and crashed head-on.
