Chapter 1134 Falling Into the Deep Sea

"Woo"

The Yukikaze also sounded its loud whistle at this time. ,. .

That was the signal to set sail.

The four leading ships in the column raised their sails and broke away from the fleet.

Crescent Moon Bay, Sunset Island, Qianshui City, Shuanglong Island...the ships of the four major chambers of commerce followed the Xuefeng and slowly sailed towards the Shadow Sea.

The originally broad field of vision gradually became blurred, and the sunlight dimmed. It was obviously only about a thousand meters away, but it seemed that we had entered a completely different world.

When the water mist enveloped the deck, Carmilla felt the vibrations of the ship's hull disappear.

"What happened?"

"Don't worry, it's just that the power unit has stalled." Margery seemed to see her doubts. "The most important trick to sailing here is to go slowly. If it is a small boat, it is okay. If it is a big boat, it will slide on the water slope. The speed is enough. Look at the back."

Carmilla looked in the direction she was pointing. The ships of the Chamber of Commerce that had their sails raised just now also lowered their sails at half, and some of the sails were in conflict with each other. This is a scene that is definitely not seen during normal navigation. .

In addition, each ship set up a blazing brazier at the front and rear to mark its position, but even so, she could only see traces of two sea ships, and the outline of the third ship was completely lost in the fog. In the middle, the weak firelight was like a firefly that flickered on and off, and the fourth sea ship seemed to have completely disappeared.

"Are we going downhill?" Camilla asked doubtfully. After staying on Sleeping Island for a period of time, she no longer knew anything about the sea. When the rising sea water swallowed up those 'caves' or fissures, whirlpools would appear on the water surface. The small ones were no more than the thickness of a finger, and the big ones were can reach several meters. But no matter what, the seawater will converge towards the center of the vortex from all sides, and the closer it is to the end, the faster it will be.

She had previously thought that the sea was too vast and she could not clearly feel the changes in the ocean currents, but now the fleet had entered the depths of the Shadow Sea, and it was unreasonable that the water surface was still so calm.

She even saw algae floating on the water moving out of the sea!

This means that the direction of the ocean current has not changed at all, let alone converged towards the bottom of the slope, and there is no sign of even turning back, at least in this area!

"It does seem incredible, but that's the fact." Margery nodded. "If the low tide was caused by a huge whirlpool, we would have no idea of ​​exploring it. Because whirlpools that can affect the entire sea, I'm afraid it's deeper than the abyss of hell, and breaking into it is bound to be a dead end. It's precisely because it's so strange that Lei Lei hopes to find out." She paused and looked at Qiong, who was staring at the sea in trance, "It's just human. Ability has its limit, and it is almost impossible to dive into the seabed. It is your help that gives us hope."

Having said that, this place is a bit too weird. Carmilla looked at the wet stone pillars and islands around her, and felt a little confused. It was better that they were closer together, at least she could see the real ones. The rocks in the distance were only black shadows of different shades, just like the claws of a ghost extending out of a nightmare.

"Acridine! Fish! Red fish!" Qiong suddenly shouted.

Carmilla turned her head and saw a bright red "river" suddenly appearing on the right string of the Xuefeng. Although she had been informed by Lei Lei in advance, she still felt heartfelt shock when she saw it with her own eyes.

Ghostly Red River.

A special channel made of fish!

"Stop smacking your lips, the red-scaled fish is not delicious." Margery patted Qiong's head, "As long as you follow the Ghost Red River, you can reach the ruins of the Triangular Tower. Your Highness Tilly should have mentioned it to you. There is a strange instrument like a telescope inside the ruins, which can see a vast continent that has never been seen before, which is also the ultimate goal of our voyage."

"She did tell me."

"It's a pity that our current destination has nothing to do with ancient ruins. Otherwise, you can personally feel the majesty and wonder of that ruins." The 'female' businessman said regretfully.

"No... I'd better avoid it." Carmilla said decisively. If possible, she hoped to never set foot in this sea area again.

"Your reaction is completely opposite to His Highness's." Margaery covered her mouth and smiled.

After sailing slowly for about an hour, the Yukikaze docked at a large island and reef, followed by the three-masted ships of the four major chambers of commerce. After the fleet anchored, the leaders of all parties gathered on the deck of the flagship. superior.

"There are quite a few of them," the adjutant of the Snow Wind curled his lips, "I thought you would drive the ship onto some rock and then cry for help."

"You are not the only ones who have excellent captains and sailors." Naturally, people from the four major chambers of commerce would not pretend they had not heard it. "Steel ships are good, but the people on them are not necessarily the same."

"Okay!" Lei Lei's appearance interrupted the argument in time, "It's the best result if we arrive smoothly. We didn't encounter any dangers on the way, right?"

"No," the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce said one after another, "It seems to be particularly quiet this time, not even a sea ghost was encountered."

"I also find it strange that there are always one or two unlucky people dragged into the water by sea ghosts."

"Or is it that the route we chose avoids ancient ruins, and those monsters prefer to use ruins as their lairs?"

"That sounds reasonable."

Lei Lei pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to calm everyone down, "In that case, let's proceed without further delay. The low tide will last until evening at most, so it's best to go deep into the seabed before then. If nothing is found, we will You must leave before the tide rises, otherwise you will be trapped in the waters of the archipelago and unable to move." He looked at the two witches, "Ms. Joan, Carmilla, we will be handed over next. 'Here you go."

"Acridine." Qiong nodded seriously.

"As long as you can make these people shut up." Carmilla glanced at the explorers angrily, "Let me state in advance that I need to concentrate when I communicate with my mind. Whoever yells nonsense will be beaten. If you cut me off, don’t blame me for not coming back!”

After receiving Thunder's assurance, she put her hand on Qiong's shoulder and closed her eyes. After a slight dizziness, another scene appeared in her dark eyes, which was Qiong's field of vision.

Go ahead, Carmilla said in her mind. If contact is interrupted or you encounter any dangerous situation, you will turn back immediately. Do you understand? Don't be brave, your friends are still waiting for you to go back.

When the word friend was mentioned, she clearly felt a tremor from the other party, and then her whole spirit became firm, I know!

Then Joan jumped back and jumped into the water.

A feeling of coolness and comfort immediately surrounded Carmilla.

All the fatigue seemed to be swept away.

But she knew that it was just an illusion. It was not herself who felt comfortable, but Joan. She shared Joan's happiness.

"How is it?" Thunder asked.

"Everything is going well so far. The depth is about fifty meters," Camilla replied. "Those stone pillars don't seem to be getting thicker, not even the islands and reefs... I didn't see the seabed or undersea peaks." things, they are all separate.”

This is her mission. Although Qiong can move freely under the water, she cannot accurately express what she sees. If she wants to know everything the other party sees as much as possible, only the ability to resonate with the soul can do it.

"The depth is more than a hundred...the light has dimmed significantly, but the scene in the field of vision is still very clear. The stone pillars and islands are still continuing, and there is no sign of the end," Carmilla muttered in a low voice, "Hell, they are too It's a bit too long. Maybe those rocks that look like small islands are not real islands, but..."

"But what?" someone asked.

She swallowed, "It's just a thicker stone pillar."
