Chapter 001: Out to Sea
Ten days have passed in a flash. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOn this day, Li Zhan finally drove his boat and embarked on a journey to find the fish man. It's a pity that Li Zhan is only in the three-dimensional realm now, and he still needs to eat and drink, so Li Zhan doesn't dare to drive the boat too far from land. Otherwise, the ship really sank to the fishman, and without fresh water supplies, Li Zhan would not be able to hold out for a few days.
"Let's go to the Ryukyu Islands in Daming first. Li Zhan took a nautical chart and studied it carefully. As can be seen from the nautical charts, the area from the Fuso Islands in the north to the Ryukyu Islands in the south can be said to be very safe, and the mortality rate in the past decade has been mostly less than 10%. It's different out of this area, the mortality rate is as high as 50%, and the death rate in many areas is 100%, so if there are really fishmen, they must be operating in those areas.
However, if Li Zhan were to set off from the outermost island of the Ryukyu Islands, Jidong Island, it would take him about three days to reach the sea where the death rate is 100%. In this way, if the ship sinks, it will take at least six days for Li Zhan to swim back by himself, not counting other factors. And if you don't eat or drink for six days, you have to swim back to Jidong Island, which will definitely exceed Li Zhan's limit.
"I miss the space bag. ”
Four-dimensional immortals can make their own space bags, but because of the relationship between the long and short sides, the space bags of four-dimensional immortals tend to be very large, otherwise many large things can't fit in.
And if it comes to the sixth dimension, it will be different, after the sixth dimension, there will be no long and short sides, and many immortals can even make the space bag into a space bracelet or even a space ring, and the space inside can be made huge. In the particle universe, Li Zhan's later space ring even became a universe of its own. Of course, many immortals don't make the space ring too big, as long as it's enough. If it's too big, you won't be able to cultivate enough, and you'll have to waste too much spiritual power if you want to get back what you put in. After all, the larger the ring in space, the farther you can move to store things inside.
Starting from Shanghai County in the Ming Kingdom to Taiwan Prefecture in the Ryukyu Islands of the Ming Kingdom, it will take about one day and one night at the sailing speed of Li Zhan's small boat. However, Li Zhan did not prepare to go to Taiwan, the main island of the Ryukyu Islands, but decided to go to the Diaoyu Islands in the north of Taiwan Island. Take a break before continuing to the Far East Island of the Ryukyu Islands. An hour's further east from Jidong Island, there is a Ryukyu Trench, the sea area where the death rate has reached 66%, and Li Zhan decided to try his luck there.
As for why he didn't go directly to Jidong Island, it was because Li Zhan found that the death rate in this area near the Diaoyu Islands was abnormal, reaching 40%. And the nautical chart indicates that in addition to the waters near the Diaoyu Islands. In other areas west of the Ryukyu Islands, there are few places where the death rate exceeds 20%. In the vast majority of sea areas, the mortality rate is below 10%, so the 40% mortality rate in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands is particularly sudden.
Li Zhan sailed for more than 20 hours and finally saw the Diaoyu Islands. Diaoyu Dao is a beautiful island with mountains at both ends and a large flat land in the middle. There are also islands such as Huangwei Yu and Chiwei Yu next to Diaoyu Island, which can be regarded as a good place for fishing and resting. It's a pity that it's such a beautiful sea, and the mortality rate is as high as 40%.
When Li Zhan drove the boat to the vicinity of the Diaoyu Islands, he saw a boat coming towards him. It seems that there are still people who are not afraid of death like Li Zhan, and the 40% mortality rate can almost be said to be a back-and-forth death.
Because Li Zhan's boat was made by himself, the sailing speed was not fast, and the speed of the oncoming boat was at least 3 times the speed of Li Zhan's boat, which was very fast.
Li Zhan just wanted to greet them, but he heard a voice on the boat say: "My lord, it's a small boat, there is only one person on board, it is estimated that there is no goods, and it is over." ”
"A person? a person dares to come?... Don't worry, when you get closer, ask the two brothers to bring him over and ask. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The two of them didn't talk loudly, but unfortunately Li Zhan's hearing was so terrifying that he heard it all word for word.
Li Zhan smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it to be a pirate, no wonder the mortality rate is abnormally high as 40%. ”
Figuring out the reason for such a high mortality rate, Li Zhan couldn't help but be a little disappointed. If there are pirates, then there are unlikely to be fishmen. However, Li Zhan would not make a special U-turn, not to mention that the pirate ship on the opposite side had already sailed towards him at a very fast speed.
The pirate ship quickly approached Li Zhan's ship, and two people walked out of the bow of the boat, shouting at Li Zhan: "Hey, that kid in a single coat, which country are you from? What are you doing here?" It was already winter, but Li Zhan was wearing a single coat, which looked a little different. With Li Zhan's current cultivation, he is no longer afraid of the wind and cold, so he didn't pay attention to adding clothes for a while.
"I'm going to go to the Far East Island of the Ryukyu Islands, but I dare to ask but from here?" Li Zhan shouted at the two pirates. Pirates have guns, and Li Zhan doesn't want to be too strong all at once, but he doesn't deliberately show too weak. After all, pirates are only this boatload of people, as long as Li Zhan is careful, it is only a matter of time before he solves them, and he doesn't have to worry about a behemoth like the imperial court coming to retaliate.
"That's right, this is Diaoyu Island, and 800 nautical miles to the east is Jidong Island, but now our adults have something to ask you, and we ask you to come up. One of the pirates threw a hook at Li Zhan's boat and hung it on the guardrail at the bow, and then the two pirates began to pull the chains.
Li Zhan didn't want to be too calm, so he asked, "What are you adults looking for me?"
The two pirates quickly pulled Li Zhan's small boat to the side of their big ship, and said with a smile: "Our lord asked you to come up, you can come up, so much nonsense, do you want me to go down and invite you?" Pull this iron chain, there is an iron ladder next to it, come up by yourself." ”
As soon as Li Zhan climbed onto the big ship, the two pirates drove Li Zhan towards the house on the other side of the ship.
Li Zhan's height of 1.8 meters is already considered tall in the Great Song Dynasty, but he is still half a head short of these two pirates. The two pirates are about the same height, both about 1.9 meters, and they are also extremely strong, with dark skin, presumably because of long-term exposure to the wind and sun.
This pirate ship is a bit different from the pirate ship on TV. In order to pursue speed, most of the pirate ships on TV are relatively light and small, and this pirate ship is very large, 200 meters long, one end of which is an iron chain, anchor head and other tugboat devices, in the middle is a large deck, and the other end is a three-story building, which looks like there are many rooms.
The two pirates drove Li Zhan to the viewing room on the second floor, threw it on the ground, and said, "My lord, the person you want has been brought." ”
The adult waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”
"Yes, sir!"
The pirate, who was called an adult, was only in his thirties, dressed in a white robe, and was extremely handsome, gentle and elegant. When Li Zhan and the others came in, they were reading a book with a book, and they didn't look like pirates.
