Chapter 914: The Horizon of the New World
After the encounter with the White Sea Dragon, the Dragon Strike Ship accelerated and left the current sea area.
Fortunately, there was no fighting noise or bloody smell to attract more powerful predators.
The White Sea Dragon is already one of the overlords of the ocean. If there is another stronger one, it is hard to imagine what kind of monster it will be.
Anyway, it is highly likely that a Dragon Strike Ship alone cannot deal with it.
In the next few days, the crew, craftsmen and engineering-related logistics personnel inspected the Dragon Strike Ship thoroughly.
The front deck was partially damaged and the side of the ship was slightly damaged. Apart from this, the Dragon Strike Ship was basically intact, and the core structure such as the keel was not damaged, which basically did not affect the navigation.
This made everyone feel relieved.
In this vast ocean, the Dragon Strike Ship is their only support. If there is a problem with the ship, everyone will have to feed the fish.
The same is true for the upper hunters. After all, even a sea dweller like Az can't swim to the new world.
In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, Gordon criticized Az, who caused this unprovoked disaster, and also reviewed his own problems.
After all, he also participated in the fishing.
After that, Az was forbidden to fish "too big" fish on the boat.
You can use insects to catch small fish, or use small fish as bait to catch big fish.
But if you want to use big fish as bait, take a hook longer than your palm, and use several fishing rods to fish for things with "dragon" in the species classification as before.
I will throw you into the sea!
The attack of the white sea dragon was just an episode in the voyage. In the days to come, the hunters exercised, fished, and maintained their weapons, and everything returned to normal.
As they gradually got used to this kind of sea life, the second half of the voyage was inevitably a bit boring.
Of course, in the perilous ocean voyage, "boring" is not a negative word, on the contrary, "exciting" is.
The dull and regular life seems to speed up time. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a month since we set sail.
It was another sunny day like yesterday.
Gordon sat on the railing of the bow and looked at the sea level ahead of the route.
"You are on the deck to enjoy the breeze and you are armed?" A teasing voice came from behind.
Gordon knew who was coming without looking back. "I was scared by the white sea dragon that time. Just carry it on your back. It's a training.
Are you not seasick?"
Anshil, who came to Gordon's side, said, "It's time to get used to the sea these days."
"Ah." Gordon let out a long breath, and the whole person seemed a little listless. "It's January, and the hunting ban in Shuretson Hill is coming to an end. It's time to come, right?"
Anshil glanced at this guy who was gradually losing patience. "I asked the navigator before. We are moving along an ocean current. The route will definitely not deviate. It should be these two days."
"Dang-dang-dang-!"
There were bursts of rapid bells from the observation deck at the top of the mast.
"We can see the coastline. We are here!" The lookout shouted.
Gordon and Anshil looked at each other, raised their hands to launch ropes with catapults, climbed to the horizontal bar, and looked to the north.
The coastline of the New World is already in sight.
The Starry Stronghold has been particularly lively these past two days.
Just a few days ago, the peregrine falcon released by Mecca from the dragon-beating ship arrived at the Starry Stronghold carrying a letter.
There are very few ships between the New and Old Worlds. The last time a ship came with a letter from Mecca was more than three months ago.
From this letter, it was confirmed that ten high-level hunters and a large number of technicians that Starry urgently needs will arrive. Everyone was very excited.
Except for a few old guys, the high-end combat power of the current New World Survey Team is really scarce.
The commander-in-chief's grandson ran to the Ancient Tree Forest without saying a word, saying that he would bring back the best prey to entertain the newcomers.
The chef of Starry, an Elu who is so tall and strong that he doesn't look like Elu, carefully polished his kitchen knife, prepared seasonings, and prepared to show off his heroic cooking skills.
Researchers from the Vegetation Research Institute contributed the New World fruits and vegetables that they had carefully taken care of on weekdays. They knew that people who had stayed at sea for a long time were actually more interested in fresh fruits and vegetables than meat.
The commander-in-chief arranged for people to repair and clean out many rooms and houses as accommodation for new companions.
Hearing that among the ten upper hunters who came this time, there were three young "couples", so he specifically asked to build a few more hunter cabins with larger areas.
Each room should be able to accommodate not only two people, but also several more in the future.
As for the layout of the house, it was not too complicated.
For many people, it is a pleasure to decorate a new home by themselves. In addition to the furniture that can be customized by craftsmen, the numerous strange animals and plants in the New World can also be used as embellishments in the house.
Just like some people like to keep small animals such as circling rabbits and jungle Archaeopteryx as pets at home.
Some people even make a large fish tank and fill it with wonderful fish species they caught. It is a kind of enjoyment to watch them swim around when they have nothing to do.
"Hahaha! Old friend, haven't the newcomers arrived yet?"
The commander-in-chief, who was standing beside the huge table, looking at the densely packed investigation reports on the table and thinking about something, was awakened by the sudden loud laughter.
He turned his eyes to the sturdy old man who was striding over, "You actually have a day to run back by yourself?"
"Haha, don't make me sound like a homeless person who ran away from home."
The old man, known as the Grand Commander, laughed and said, "I chased the guy who just came to the New World to the Big Ant Mound, but I lost him, so I had to come back first.
It is said that many powerful young people will come this time? Ha! There will be people to help later!"
The commander-in-chief did not pay attention to the "hahahaha" tone of the Grand Commander. He had long been accustomed to the way this guy spoke. "After the most intense and serious wave of ancient dragon riots at the beginning of last year, the New World has calmed down a bit.
I received a letter from Mecca before. It seems that the situation in the Old World is similar. Although it is not as calm as in previous years, it does not feel like the ancient dragons are running all over the continent.
To be honest, I am a little uneasy. This situation is a bit like."
"The calm before the storm?" The Grand Commander laughed and added the second half of the commander-in-chief's sentence.
"That's what I mean." The commander-in-chief sighed.
The Grand Commander stepped forward and patted the Commander-in-Chief's shoulder. Although the Commander-in-Chief was also a muscular old man, he still staggered.
"Don't worry so much about the future, you will go bald."
The Commander-in-Chief rubbed his shoulders and took a step back helplessly. This guy has been like this since he was young.
The Grand Commander hugged his unimaginably thick arms, "Although it is the calm before the storm, I always feel that this calm period will last for a long time.
It may not be until the next ancient dragon crossing that the hidden danger will be truly detonated."
The Commander-in-Chief frowned, "How did you make this judgment?"
The Grand Commander bared his not-so-white teeth, "Intuition, hahaha!"
The Commander-in-Chief sighed again and was about to say something when the leader of the logistics squad ran over.
The excitement in her tone could not be concealed, "A flare rose on the sea, and the observer found the shadow of the ship. It was a dragon-beating ship from the old continent.
It's the special investigation team, they are here!"
