Chapter 469: Qiongya Island
Since encountering the electric ray, Du Wu and his party have not encountered any danger again, and have been drifting in the water for half a day.
The mirage in the middle surfaced several times to breathe in the fresh air, and the people sitting in its belly did not get depressed.
Du Wu asked Ruyi: "Sister, is Qiongya Island so far away? β
Ruyi stroked Du Wu's hair lovingly, and said: "My silly sister, we set off from Nanban Port and went straight to Qiongya Island from the sea, which is naturally very far, thousands of miles away. In fact, Qiongya Island is less than 200 miles away from the nearest land, that is, less than 200 miles, so we can reach the mainland in one day if we sail to the mainland with a smooth wind and water, and it is not so far. β
Only then did Du Wu understand that this was the case, and couldn't help but laugh at the naΓ―ve question he asked.
Mirage Xiaobei said: "Master, Aunt Ruyi is right, we have been drifting on the sea for more than a thousand miles, not far from Qiongya Island, which is indeed less than two hundred miles away from the nearest port on the mainland. It's just that there are many reefs on the sea near Qiongya Island, and there are cloud blockades, so it is difficult for people who are not very experienced to find the specific location of this island. It is familiar with the location, and it also requires a strong level of boat handling to arrive, and after a while, the elders will know what Xiaobei means when they see the geographical environment around Qiongya Island. β
At this time, the mirage scallop is still drifting below the surface of the water. Everyone found that the terrain here was really different from what they had seen before.
Originally, the bottom of the sea was a plain, but here there are many mountain ranges. These mountains are rocky and come in a variety of shapes. It's like a mountain range on land. There are even novelties.
Because of the mountains on land, people look up from the foot of the mountain, and only when they reach the top of the mountain can they see a different scenery.
In the middle of this sea, it floats between the peaks of the mountains, and you can see the peaks of different shapes and strange shapes.
There are 10,000 peaks here, which plunge from the bottom of the sea to the sea, and even expose the sea, forming reefs or islands. There are also thousands of cliffs, bottomless.
The further he went, the peaks became denser and denser, and Mirage Becky carefully adjusted the angle of her body, dodging the peaks and rocks along the way.
Xiaobei said to everyone: "Elders, this is not far from Qiongya Island, let's float to the surface." The surface of the water is a little easier to walk than the bottom. β
Everyone nodded. Becky slowly floated up and gradually emerged from the water.
Above the sea, the wind and waves here are not as strong as they were just now. Everyone sat down again outside the shell of the mirage shell. Enjoy the scenery along the way.
I saw that there are many peaks under the sea, and the peaks are exposed to the water, forming patches of reefs. The most terrible are the reefs that are not exposed to the surface of the water, and are not far from the water, and ships sailing here, if they do not know the terrain very well, are very likely to run aground, or run aground, or the ship is wrecked and killed. Therefore, in this sea area, very few ships pass by, except for the disciples of the Qiongya Sword Pavilion, who are strong in martial arts and familiar with the terrain, no one else dares to come here.
This is also the reason why Ruyi took the Nalan family to hide here, Suwon San'er has a huge naval army, and it is extremely difficult to attack here, let alone attack, their warships are too large to pass through this reef area. Only people like the Sea Devil can sneak in here.
You can see a large island in front of you, and on the edge of the island is a large golden sand beach with many very tall trees growing on the beach. These trees are very different from the common ones, they have no branches, and a main trunk stretches straight into the sky, growing huge leaves at the top of the highest point. There are also some huge fruits growing on the top of the tree, and I don't know what kind of tree it is.
