Chapter 445: Islands

Jiayi and the others followed Lars to patrol the Devil's Sea, and the harvest along the way was quite impressive.

This is really on the top of the volcanic belt, most of the reef is formed by the volcanic lava solidified by the volcanic eruption, and the magma brings a lot of precious metals and gems from the interior of the earth.

It's just that they didn't find the Devouring Grass and Elemental Fruit that Lars mentioned, and they didn't even see a shadow, perhaps because of the volcanic island, most of the islands here don't have many plants.

There aren't too many islands here, most of them are reefs, and there is little soil, let alone plants.

"Mage Lars, are you sure we're on the right track? Truth be told, it's rare to see even magical plants along the way, let alone elemental fruits. ”

Jiayi and the others came to Lars's boat on a skateboard, and asked Lars with some displeasure, with a questioning tone.

The concentration of magical elements in the Devil's Sea is indeed very high, but it has not yet reached the point where the Dao can grow elemental fruits.

In fact, Jiayi's original goal has almost been achieved, and the expectations given by Lars are too high, and the gap in reality is a little too big, after all, although the gems are precious, they can always be bought with money, and there are not too many requirements for the quality of the gems when doing magic experiments.

Lars was not in a very good mood now, but he still explained according to his emotions: "According to the information I have received, it is indeed in this place, in the Devil's Sea, in the southwest direction, where the moon is vertical and the bow and arrow in the hands of the centaurs meet. ”

Lars didn't deceive Jia Yi and them, although he didn't have a certain grasp of the elemental fruit, but he had definite news about devouring the Grass Grass, but now, he was a little out of direction.

Lars took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jiayi: "This is the clue, looking at the description above, there should be nothing wrong here." ”

Jiayi took the parchment, the parchment had no head or tail on it, and the same yellow-brown color was different, it was a black-brown with a little luster, and it looked a bit like a pulp that had been rubbed for too long.

It is written very briefly, a few unclear proverbs, the place where the bow and arrow of the centaur meet the vertical line of the moon on a midsummer night, which refers to the astrological signs, which is not complicated, and there is a brief circuit diagram on it.

This sign is at a specific time, it is a midsummer night, but it is already autumn, and the time is not right, but through calculation, the position of the current star can be calculated.

Kaichi recalled the summer stars, then calculated the location, and then brought it under the current stars, and carefully compared the starry sky he saw last night, it should indeed be around here.

But there's not even a reef here, so where can you see the devouring grass, it can't be underwater, right?

He looked at the parchment in his hand again, this parchment was cut from something, the edges were not neat, it looked like the wound was still very new, it should have not been cut for a long time, and it was even very likely that it was the last few days.

I don't know what it was originally cut from, maybe it was for secrecy.

Flipped to the back, there was a simple magic array on it, because of the lack of details, so the specific effect could not be seen.

"What is this?" asked Kaichi, pointing to the magic array.

"I don't know, it's just this simple picture, I can't see what it is, I don't know what it's for. Lars shook his head.

Jia Yi thought for a moment, it couldn't really be underwater, he shook his head, and said, "I'll go get the sonar and take a look." ”

As he spoke, he returned to his ship, turning up the sonar on the boat to the maximum, and narrowing the scanning range to increase the scanning distance.

Although the sonar on the ship is not as delicate as Jiayi's own portable sonar, because of the volume, the power and scanning range are much larger, since it can't be seen above the sea, then go underwater to see.

After opening the sonar scan circle, sure enough, some found that the sonar came out not long ago, unless it was a coincidence, there was no detection method for sonar, and most of the hidden methods were aimed at the naked eye and mental scanning.

Kaichi stood on the boat and shouted to Lars, "Master Lars, there seems to be something in the northwest direction, a bit like an island, isn't it over there?"

Lars stood at the bow of the boat, facing the direction that Kaichi said, and looked at it from a distance, but there was still nothing in this direction.

"Are you sure? nothing?" said Lars's voice in the distance, and it was impossible to hear the old man at this time.

Jia Yi also blessed himself with the levitation technique, climbed the mast, blessed the far-sighted technique and looked in the direction of sonar detection, and there was indeed nothing.

Although he is a mage, his agility and coordination are no longer as bad as those of some knights, and even Lacey was a little surprised when she saw it, which simply subverted her impression of a mage.

"Go over and look, the sonar shows that there are islands over there. Kaichi shouted at the other party.

The two boats slowly sailed towards the direction that Jia Yi had discovered, slowly getting closer, and the sonar showed more clearly, under the water, showing pieces of reefs, but above the water, there was nothing to see.

Jiayi was a little worried, isn't this just a reef, there are no islands in it? But looking at the sonar, this should not be just a reef, it is obvious that behind this reef, there should be an island, at least out of the water.

They carefully avoided the scattered reefs under the water, but after walking for a long time, they found that there were too many reefs for big ships to enter, but above the water, there was a blue sea at a glance, and there was nothing else.

At this time, he couldn't see the island, Chester flinched a little and said, "Kaichi, are you sure you're looking at the right thing? ”

Although the sonar can detect the obstacles ahead, the reflected waveform needs to be read by itself, and among the people here, only Jiayi is the most powerful at reading the waveform, but it is not a hundred shots, and there are always times when there are omissions.

Kaichi looked at the waveform several times and confirmed that there was no problem with his opinion, and that behind this reef, no more than 2 nautical miles, there was indeed a sign of the existence of an island.

Although he couldn't see it, he didn't give up, and suggested, "Let's take a small boat and take a look, go to the place where the sonar shows that there are islands, and see what the hell is going on." ”

Even if there really aren't islands, it's not bad to see why your own sonar shows the error.

Lars didn't have any opinions, so they changed to two small boats, one with Jia Yi and them, driven by Lacey, and the other with Lars, with one of his students, a magician apprentice, Jia Yi didn't even know his name, and his sense of existence was a little weak.

And the big ships on both sides stopped outside the reef circle, waiting quietly.

Jiayi and they were in front, and Jiayi took his portable sonar to open the way in front, the waterline of the boat was very shallow, although there were many reefs below, but they walked quite easily.

Although sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some bumps, and the bottom of the boat will rub against the reef or something.

Accidentally, Jiayi and their boat hit the reef again, and Jiayi and their boats floated up from the boat, making the boat's waterline shallower, pushing the boat off the reef, changing directions, and bypassing the reef at the bottom of the water.

"Jiayi, how far is it? This is the second time that I almost ran aground. "Chester seems a little unexpected, sonar can't accurately tell how high the reef is from the water, and sometimes it feels like it can be passed but not necessarily.

Kaichi calculated the distance: "There is less than a nautical mile left, and there are far fewer reefs in front of you." ”

It's just that Kaichi doesn't quite understand, theoretically, if you get closer to the island, shouldn't there be more reefs?

Kaichi lowered his head and looked at the sonar, pointing in the direction, mentally studying the waveforms of these sonars, and he couldn't understand why this was happening.

"Jiayi, look. Kaichi was wondering, and suddenly March shook his shoulders so violently that he barely even grabbed the sonar.

He looked up and was about to blame March, but he was suddenly stunned, and following the direction of March's finger, an island suddenly appeared, a lush island, a real island, an island that appeared out of nowhere, without warning.
