Chapter 117: The Netherworld Summons
The reason why Zhu Jiu suddenly changed direction was because after he checked the Lingtu of Zhihai, he found that there was a tide countercurrent marked by the Lingtu dozens of miles away, and if he ran on it, he would definitely increase the speed of the ship significantly.
Therefore, after a little consideration, I immediately decided to go straight to the undercurrent against the current.
Zhu Jiu's move caused many cultivators in the Demon Sea Demon City who were standing behind the heads of the Nine Great Chamber of Commerce to watch in amazement and curiosity.
Among these people, an older man in a gray robe seemed to be quite knowledgeable, and the eyes of the people around him looked at him, as if asking, the old man stroked his beard slightly, pointed to the Zhujiu ship on the picture and said smugly:
"The treasure ship belonging to the Abyssal Chamber of Commerce deviated from the straight line and moved diagonally, and it must have been to increase the speed of the ship with the help of an undercurrent thirty nautical miles away, which was also cleverly thought. ”
Someone next to him asked:
"Then he has the help of the undercurrent, isn't it going to be big and cheap?"
The old man shook his head disapprovingly and explained:
"That's not the case, with the help of the undercurrent, you can certainly sail at a great speed, but you only know one and don't know the other, the place where the undercurrent has existed for a long time, and almost all the people of the nine chambers of commerce know the way, but why is he the only one who thinks of walking with the help of the undercurrent, hey, it is because there are countless reefs hidden in this undercurrent, and it is the most difficult to walk, he wants to use the undercurrent to take advantage of it, unless he has a pair of eyes that see through the seawater, otherwise he must touch a nose of ash. ”
The old man's analysis was reasonable, and everyone was convinced, agreed with it, and nodded one after another.
In fact, not only the people standing in the back position whispered, but also the inner circle of the Nine Great Chambers of Commerce also talked about it lightly, most of them had the same opinion as the old man who spoke just now, and felt that Zhu Jiu's tricky behavior was worth the loss.
It must be known that the 8,000-mile sea route of this tidal ceremony is not allowed to fly in the air, so the dense reefs under the countercurrent have almost become a huge obstacle that cannot be avoided.
Therefore, most people feel that Zhu Jiugang made such a stupid move as soon as he set off, it seems that he has no courage and no strategy, and he is not thoughtful, and the ranking of the Yuandi Chamber of Commerce may be about to decline this time.
These people don't know that Zhu Jiu's sea spirit map has the ability to spy on all things, and although there are many reefs under the sea, they can be seen in advance.
Zhu Jiu steered the Xinghailou ship, broke away from the large army, and rode the wind and waves alone on the vast blue-black sea.
Previously, the Xinghai treasure ship was walking with the crowd in the crowd, with great momentum, and no sea beasts dared to harass it, but at this time, it walked independently, and immediately felt that there was some kind of fierce aura surging under the water, and it seemed that some sea beast was swimming and sneaking around the hull.
Zhu Jiu grinned lightly, he was already itching to try the power of the Star Sea Ship, at this time, a sea beast took the initiative to come over, just in line with his heart, waved his hand to make a move, and a dark blue sea beast relief pattern drawn on the side of the hull immediately shook slightly.
In the next moment, the sea beast pattern slowly detached from the hull of the ship as if it had come to life.
The mouth of the relief sea beast is long and sharp, like a sharp sword, with wings on its back, although it is a relief that is broken down from the hull, it is almost true, the whole body is blue, and there is a layer of oily luster, the body is huge, and it should be close to 30 meters long.
Judging from the appearance, it is really impossible to tell whether the relief beast is a man-made product of a puppet mechanism, or the soul of a ship protection beast directly imprisoned by some secret art.
The relief sea beast broke away from the side of the ship with a sturdy body, and with a pop, splashed all over the sky and pierced underwater.
Then the underwater waves splashed, the sound was amazing, and the explosion was endless, and in a short time a strange-shaped fish with a white belly and a length of about 20 meters floated on the surface of the water.
The strange fish was long and flat, with a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a large bloody hole in its abdomen, apparently killed by the sword-like mouth of the ship's relief-carved sea beast.
Zhu Jiu stretched out his hand and grabbed the dead strange fish slightly, this strange fish whose breath was about the first grade of the third order immediately cracked in its abdomen, and a bright bead was sucked into Zhu Jiu's hand.
Retrieve the relief spirit beast of the escort ship, let it continue to attach to the side of the ship, Zhu Jiu stood on the bow of the boat, and played with the pearl-like sea beast crystal nucleus in his hand while moving forward, but the thoughts in his mind turned over.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that the Sea Knowing Ten Thousand Souls List had blessed the mysterious ability of curses on the fourth order of the ghost python, but why didn't he receive the blessing when he reached the fourth order of the golden giant?
Zhu Jiu remembered that it was written on the heavenly list at that time that as long as it was a special species, it could be blessed with power, could it be that the golden giant was not a rare species?
After thinking about it, the boat had sailed to the target against the current, and the speed of the ship suddenly increased with the help of the power of the water current, Zhu Jiu stopped the rest of his thoughts, and concentrated on using the location of the reef marked on the map of the sea spirit to reduce the ship to a length of twenty meters, making the hull more flexible, and then he urged with all his might.
The speed of this building ship immediately surged, flashing on the sea, lightning speed, the hull was even more flexible like a swimming fish, and it never touched any of the reefs under the sea when it traveled more than 100 nautical miles.
This surprised the countless people in the Demon Sea Demon City who spied through the picture, and the old man who had previously asserted that Zhu Jiu had to touch a gray nose was also quite embarrassed.
The head of the Black Cliff Chamber of Commerce, which ranked eighth among the nine major chambers of commerce, was a thin middle-aged man, and at this time, he turned his head to look at Gong Changlong, and asked:
"Brother Gong, looking at the speed of the star sea ship of your Yuandi Chamber of Commerce sailing in the reef basin on the screen, have you fully grasped the distribution of the reefs below this sea area? It was only revealed at this time, it was really a good plan, it seems that it is a must-win to improve the ranking of this ceremony, hehe!"
Gong Changlong immediately scolded secretly, this guy was uneasy and kind, obviously provocative, and Gong Changlong himself didn't know why Zhu Jiu could shuttle so freely in the reef-filled sea when he first came to the Endless Demon Sea, and replied without showing weakness:
"You ridiculed many times before, saying that the people sent by our Chamber of Commerce to participate in the Sea Tide Hunting Ceremony this time were heroes for a while, but there were brave and unscrupulous people, how could you change your words so quickly, hey! This has become our other plan?"
After finishing speaking, he sneered a few times, and then didn't say anything, and looked intently at Zhu Jiulai, who was riding the wind and waves in the picture.
Zhu Jiu conformed to the changes in the undercurrent at this time, and urged the treasure ship under the seat with all his might, which was really fast.
According to Zhu Jiu's estimation, if he kept passing through this countercurrent area at such a speed, it should not be a problem to be ahead of everyone.
Looking at the locations of the top three chambers of commerce marked by the departure dozens of nautical miles away on the spirit map, these three people had already opened a distance from all the ships behind them at this time, and even the Burning Sun Ship of the Great Sun Heavenly City was thrown away by them more than ten nautical miles.
Zhu Jiu grinned, his speed was not slower than these three people at all, and he went hand in hand.
Looking at the characters later, these people can be regarded as the second camp of the ships of the Nine Great Chamber of Commerce, and they are not far from the flame ships of the Great Sun Heavenly City, and they are more than ten nautical miles behind the first camp, and the competition is also fierce.
Half a day later, Zhu Jiu's boat speed slowly slowed down, and the undercurrent against the current had reached its end, and there was no longer the power to push.
Zhu Jiu, who was standing at the bow of the boat, was not discouraged, he had already thought of the next means of hurrying, opened his mouth and snorted softly, the boat under his feet shrank rapidly, and shrank back to the size of a model of less than a meter in the blink of an eye, and was gently held in his hand by Zhu Jiu who was standing on the surface of the sea, and then the glow of the robe flashed, and the model boat was completely put away.
Zhu Jiu stretched out his hand and lightly pointed at it, and the sea knowledge talisman was volleyed out, and the gate of the netherworld on it fluctuated slightly.
The surrounding sky changed dramatically in an instant, and the boundless black qi surged, and it became extremely cold within tens of meters, as if it had suddenly come from the underworld to the Netherworld Ghost Domain.
From time to time, there was an eerie and cold sound from this black gas with a radius of tens of meters, which made people's hearts chill.
The gate of the netherworld on the talisman slowly opened, revealing a crevice, as if something was about to be summoned from the depths of the netherworld.
Zhu Jiu himself was also deeply curious and watched attentively.
