Chapter 320

Three days, four days... In the blink of an eye, it was seven days again, and it was already the ninth day after departure. The temperature continued to rise as they continued to go south. This made Zhang Hao and Zhao Dahe very excited, but this excitement could not tell others.

Perhaps the greatest poison that time brings to the world is loneliness. Everyone is still floating in the vast sea. You can't see land, you can't see green, you can only see the vast sea, and deep blue or blue-black.

Loneliness is the only melody.

Outside the battleship is the dangerous green sea of ​​death; although it has been calm these few days, the excessive calm made everyone feel inexplicably uneasy.

In fact, this kind of uneasiness is not necessarily vigilance against danger, but more of a kind of... loneliness!

In this vast sea, where everyone stands, there are only two warships. Compared to the vast sea, it is so small. A 10,000-ton battleship is nothing more than a flat boat when it reaches the sea.

The sea under our feet is full of dangers, and as far as we can see, there is not even an inch of land to stand on. From east to west, north to south, the sea and the sky meet, like a blue cage.

That kind of loneliness, even helplessness, is difficult to express in words. But this feeling is bit by bit devouring everyone's heart.

The faces of the once excited sailors were already numb.

In fact, the biggest threat to sailing on the sea comes from loneliness.

Before I knew it, it was lunch time on the ninth day, and everyone had to eat a bowl of bean sprouts forcibly, and there was always tea. This kind of living habit is not because of Zhang Hao, but...he learned it from the East! This is the experience summed up with life.

But at lunchtime today, there were discordant voices. Finally, some sailors began to mutter that they should return! Some sailors even said that they always felt that there was something bad in front of them-this statement has been recognized by many.

It was still a whisper at the beginning, but in the evening, everyone even started a public discussion, which also reached Zhang Hao's ears.

No matter how brave and high-spirited these people were when they set out, they are finally defeated by loneliness. They started to get timid.

Facing the sea, what you see is the power of nature. Human beings are so small compared to this force of nature. Even in the stage of transforming into a god, it is insignificant in front of this nature.

In the past few days, even Chen Yansong was a little bit tired-in this sea, he couldn't rest assured to practice and rest at all, and he was always in a state of vigilance. In fact, not only Chen Yansong, but everyone.

Zhang Hao is also calculating that during these seven days, the forward speed of the battleship has always been around 100 kilometers; by now on the ninth day, the entire voyage has been at least 18,000 kilometers.

Even if there are twists and turns and battles, the straight-line distance should be 14,000 kilometers.

Calculated according to the ratio on the earth elephant, the entire distance is almost close to the west coast protrusion of the Taurus Island-this is far beyond the northernmost part of the Taurus Island, it should be.

Perhaps, let the ship go southeast and try to find land.

After some calculations, Zhang Hao stepped forward. With the help of Chen Yansong, Zhang Hao's voice enveloped the two warships: "Everyone, I am Zhang Hao. I have a few words to say to you."

Everyone put down their work one after another, looked up and raised their ears.

"Today evening, I heard the nagging of some crew members. First of all, I am very happy that everyone can speak out their hearts instead of being stuffy. But on the other hand, I am not very happy. We are now a whole, what to say? Can't you talk to me, Dugu Junjie, or Zhao Yuhang?

But forget it this time, and next time, I will definitely investigate to the end.

Now I want to ask you a question: Is the arrogance you had when you set off still there? Do you still have the courage to cross the green sea of ​​death and face death as home?

As a cultivator, how much is there left to have the ambition to fight against the sky and enjoy endless joy? "

Zhang Hao's voice echoed on the two warships. Some sailors gradually bowed their heads, but some sailors stood up straight with their heads held high!

"Hold your head up! Keep your head down, is the difficulty over?! The experience of our country has already told us that there is no way out for timidity! Our road needs to be expanded with courage. Our hope needs to be watered with sweat !

Our future...needs to be developed with our lives!

You are all the bravest people. Tens of millions of people in the Qixia Country place their hopes on you, and the group uses the best resources on you. I gave you all the flesh and blood of the demonic beasts in the transformation stage obtained from the first voyage.

Could it be that using too many good things drains your guts instead? "

"Everyone, we have no way out. If I can, I also want to sit in the office of Dayang Group, hug a beauty, drink spiritual tea, and enjoy endless wealth. I have the qualifications!

But I didn't, I gave up these and came to the sea with you!

for what?

In order to let our country stand up, in order to let us no longer accept other people's bullying and blind eyes! In order for our children and grandchildren, no longer accept bullying!

The queen exchanged the jewel on the crown for half a year. Half a year later, if we still can't succeed, can our family still enjoy the current environment?

They all raised their heads, believing that they would be successful.

According to the records of "Earth Elephant", we should have approached the west coast of Taotu Continent, and it is estimated that we will be able to see land in at most three days.

If we return now, it will take at least seven days; and if we continue to move forward, it will only take three days! "

Zhang Hao's voice disappeared, but the atmosphere on the battleship gradually changed. The previous complaints and so on gradually disappeared; the morale when everyone just went to sea seemed to be recovered.

But Zhang Hao also knew that this kind of temporary morale boost would not last long. The considerable influence of the sea cannot be ignored. Three days is also the limit.

Everyone was overtaken by the sea without a choice! I have not seen land or green for nine days.

There is not much psychological preparation, and there is not much professional training, and even the country of Qixia does not have any nautical traditions; it is completely dependent on enthusiasm (three minutes of enthusiasm). And just at the beginning, he explored the dangerous green sea of ​​death, and encountered a mirage dragon before.

And in this vast sea, there are only two small steel warships, which are the places where everyone stays.

It's good to be able to last for nine days before starting to complain.

But... not good enough! Because, it has not been successful yet!

The battleship began to turn and sail southeast; after two days of such calm, the morale inspired by the sailors was rapidly draining.

As the saying goes, a bang and then a decline, the reason here is the same. Zhang Hao was also a little anxious, even if a sea monster came out at this time, as long as he got busy.

If you stay idle like this, something will really go wrong. Man is a very strange animal, as long as he is busy, he will be fine; if he is idle, accidents will happen!

A qualified enterprise will always keep its employees busy, and there are small arts after work, and they must not let their employees idle. Something must happen when you are idle!

However, God seems to have heard Zhang Hao's call. In the afternoon of the next day, groups of "triangle fins" suddenly crossed the sea!

Zhang Hao's eyes narrowed in an instant: It can't be a school of sharks! Or something similar to a shark. Sharks in another world are intimidating. I wonder what kind of sharks here exist?

The triangular fins are like knives slicing across the sea surface, and the black shadows under the sea are more than ten meters long, and there are a whole group of such "ocean monsters"; And sharp teeth.

It's definitely a shark! However, the appearance of these sharks is even more ferocious, with bone spurs and bone armor covering their backs and sides. At first glance, it is not a weak creature.

Tensions began to build on the boat.

But the shark group did not stop around the battleship, but continued southward. It's down south, not southeast. In short, there is no deceleration.

"Chase!" Zhang Hao waved his hand. Shark schools are generally closer to the coast, or the continental shelf - but not too close to the shallow water, where food is abundant.

Zhang Hao is not too sure about the habits of sharks in this world, but he always pays attention to such groups of sharks. At least, have some fun with the current fleet. An appropriate crisis can boost morale the most.

The battleship followed the shark's direction, but quickly lost track. The sharks here are sea monsters after all, and they are extremely fast. However, the direction of its advance is roughly a straight line, and the battleship just moves in this direction. Of course, Zhao Dahe will have to work harder and need to supervise the course.

Speaking of this journey, thanks to Zhao Dahe, if there is no star-stretching technique and Zhao Dahe, the battleship will easily lose its way. Along the way, there were two compass confusions and several cloudy days. It is easy for people to lose their way on the sea.

In less than ten minutes, the battleship completely lost sight of the shark. Following the direction of the shark until the next morning, Dugu Junjie finally couldn't bear to find Zhang Hao: It seems unwise to pursue such aimless pursuit! We should approach the southeast direction is the best choice.

But this time Zhang Hao firmly rejected Dugu Junjie's statement: "The ones I saw yesterday should be sharks, also known as mackerel sharks, a ferocious carnivore in the sea, they are roughly similar to wolves on land.

Unlike wolves, however, sharks hunt in that they have two possible hunting habits. One is the hunting habit of a fixed population, and the other is... smelling the smell of blood, or hearing the struggle of the prey.

Sharks are said to be able to smell blood from afar! Farther away, the struggle of food can be heard. "

Dugu Junjie had a look of disbelief: "Sharks are so magical? Oh, I seem to have read a kind of strange talk, shark sharks have been mentioned, but it is not so exaggerated!"

"Sometimes the reality is more exaggerated than imagined! Just follow along, and you will definitely discover something! Dugu, you have also come into contact with some research in the family, you should have an understanding of the concept of 'speed of sound', right?

The speed of sound in water is at least three to five times that of air, and the transmission will be farther. And the hearing ability of some animals far exceeds that of humans.

For example, the legendary "Listening Beast" can hear voices tens of thousands of miles away.

Sharks can only be heard for thousands of miles, so there is no need to exaggerate, right? "

Dugu Junjie: ...how do you know so much?

How far can sound travel? As far as Zhang Hao knows, infrasound waves were used to detect the internal structure of the earth. One side of the earth emits infrasound waves and detects them from the other side of the earth to detect the internal structure of the earth-infrasound waves can penetrate the entire earth. Sharks can hear infrasound.

Many innate abilities of animals are more mysterious than cultivation!

However, Zhang Hao is even more certain: the 'struggling sound' that can cause sharks to hunt for food thousands of miles away is probably not as simple as one or two people, it is very likely...war! And it was a war that took place by the sea!

Because of Zhang Hao's strength, Dugu Junjie finally had to go in the direction of the shark. But it's agreed, until tomorrow morning at most.

But in the middle of the night, Dugu Junjie's eyes widened - he saw a fire in the front left!

In the southeast, there was a raging fire, and it was obviously a fierce battle.

Because the distance is too far, it is not very clear. But it can also be seen that groups of flaming snakes on the coast are constantly colliding and crisscrossing, and the screams and screams can be heard from a distance.

"It's land, we've arrived at the Land of Terrestrial Land!" A sailor shouted. But everyone's eyes widened quickly, attracted by the war on the shore.

The war there is gorgeous.

Here, the flame becomes the spell of creation. A fire dragon soared into the air, rushing to a height of hundreds of meters. There is the flame phoenix, which breathes out purple flames and melts the mountain.

A flaming lotus flower bloomed, blocking the attacks all over the sky. There were also fire clouds across the sky, and countless fireballs fell, washing the earth like a torrential rain.

More flames surged like sea waves, overturning the ground and battle formations, throwing sections of scorched human bodies into the sea.

There are also flame giants more than 100 meters long, who fell into the river to evaporate, the earth burned, and the mountain peaks were shattered. They waved a flaming long sword more than 100 meters long in their hands, tearing apart defenses one by one.

Suddenly the fire cloud in the sky burst, and a longbow with a length of more than 30 meters appeared. The longbow was golden in color, and golden flames rolled on it. The arrow appeared and flew towards the flame giant like lightning.

The golden arrow shone with the rays of the scorching sun, piercing through the flame giant's chest in an instant, causing the flame giant to collapse. The arrows shot straight into the mountain behind without stopping. Some people on the mountain panicked, but the arrow fell like lightning, and the next moment the mountain burst into a golden flame.

The flames flashed by, and half of the mountain had disappeared. At the same time, the people above disappeared!

Another two masters soared into the sky, one stepped on the fire dragon, the other rode on the fire phoenix, fighting in the sky, sending out bursts of thunder!

"This is the battle of the God Transformation Stage!" Dugu Junjie was shocked, "The God Transformation Stage here actually participated in the battle directly, which is completely different from ours!

Could it be that there is no order here? "

Zhang Hao frowned slightly. The scene of such a war made people feel uneasy, and it even dispelled everyone's surprise when they saw the land.

The battleship stopped and stopped moving forward, so Zhang Hao asked Chen Yansong to investigate carefully and try to find out what happened.

Encountering a war is an opportunity—this is the perfect entry point for the Qixia Kingdom's fleet. But war also means crisis, and the result of being on the wrong side is not good. And the current war...is a little strange and dangerous!

When encountering a war, you need to figure out why, what happened, which side is more reasonable, and which side has cooperation value...

The lights on the boat gradually went out, leaving only a few lights on the side facing away from the shore.

Chen Yansong flew up from the battleship, circled carefully and flew towards the land; while Zhang Hao pointed to the sea and said to Dugu Junjie: "Look, these sharks are here!"

Dugu Junjie: ...

I didn't believe it before, but now I have nothing to say. It turned out to be true, these sharks can smell or hear the smell of food or the sound of struggling from thousands of miles away? This world is so mysterious? But most importantly, how did Zhang Hao know?

Dugu Junjie looked at Zhang Hao with strange eyes, always feeling that Zhang Hao knew a lot of unconventional things. Is it an illusion?

But Dugu Junjie quickly turned his gaze to the front, where the sharks were snapping up a lot of food—the seaside war was still going on, fighting on the seaside, on the cliff, and at the mouth of the river. fire. It seems that there are all fire spells here.

A large number of defeated ones were driven into the sea. On the edge of the cliff, a large number of soldiers screamed and fell from time to time. At the river, there are also a large number of corpses flowing into the sea with the river.

The war has obviously been going on for a long time, and the sea monsters gathered here are not only the sharks seen by Zhang Hao and others, there are even many unknown sea monsters carnival.

Even Zhang Hao could faintly smell the bloody smell in the sea.

Dugu Junjie looked at it for a while, then frowned slightly: "The situation doesn't seem right, it doesn't look like an army war, there are no tactics at all.

Both sides participated in the battle, not only those who had transformed into gods, but many of them could only be regarded as ordinary people!

There are also battle formations on both sides, which are relatively unfamiliar; but most of the battle formations are fighting on their own, which is why there is such chaos. Moreover, the two sides are fighting in such a chaotic manner, with no military order at all.

In addition, both sides seem to be immortal in the battle, as if they are irreconcilable. Such a war... I have never seen it!

Could it be that the commanders of the two sides have agreed to be stupid together? "

Zhang Hao frowned slightly, but gradually saw some tricks—too messy!

After all, Zhang Hao had also been on the battlefield before and observed the war situation. No matter how stupid the general is, such a battle situation will not happen, and it is even more impossible for the commanders of the two sides to be stupid together.

And such a situation made Zhang Hao think of a kind of war: the war of religion and belief!

At this time, Zhao Dahe said: "This kind of war... may be rare in the west of your Fertile Continent. But it is actually very common in other places. This kind of war is a war between sects, sects, and holy lands." !

This kind of war is completely different from the war of the army and the war of the country! This kind of war, because it involves beliefs, even beliefs, ordinary people will be involved, so it is very chaotic and cruel.

This kind of war is most forbidden for outsiders to intervene. "
