"I don't think so." Luo Ling took a sip of wine and said, "The gods' memories are incomplete. According to He Xiaoxi, she doesn't know what happened here before.
When she was talking about this raging sea that day, I vaguely saw a hint of instinctive resistance in her expression.
Can't a god who can come and go without a trace easily cross this sea? Why is her memory of this place so vague, as if she heard it from hearsay? "
Xiao Chen held his chin and said, "What you said seems to make sense. Now that you said that, I recall the scene when she talked about this place. That's what I felt. So what did you discover during this voyage?"
Luo Ling said: "I tried to explore my spiritual power outward in that environment."
"Oh my god, you're here again. No one knows how brave you are." Xiao Chen grabbed Luo Ling's wrist and used his mental power to carefully feel the state of her body and soul. After a long while, he let go. "No wonder you've been so listless recently. Your soul has been damaged."
"But I did find something." Luo Ling smiled nonchalantly and said, "When my mental power broke through these magical turbulences, I vaguely discovered a strange property behind them. The feeling it gave me was very similar to the feeling when the seven towers turned into crystals."
"Turned into crystal?" Xiao Chen was stunned. "Are you referring to the transformation between dimensions? The feeling of a higher-dimensional space?"
Luo Ling nodded: "I experienced the same feeling when we first crossed the parallel space."
"So the origin of this violent sea is not simple?"
"Well, maybe it involves something very fundamental to this world. But I don't know what it is yet..."
Repairing a ship is not an easy task. Xiao Chen's team stayed on the island for two nights before completing the most basic rest and repair work.
Early on the third day, they left the island and continued sailing west.
The records did not say how far the Violent Sea was from the Western Continent, so Xiao Chen's fleet could only identify the direction and keep moving forward.
At noon on the fourth day, the wizard in charge of lookout reported that he seemed to have spotted a ship in the distance, but for some reason there was some smoke on the ship, so he could not see the ship clearly from high in the sky.
Xiao Chen immediately ordered the two ships to move closer to that side. After more than ten minutes, the people on the ship could already see a faint black spot in the distance, and there was indeed a cloud of white smoke above the black spot.
That ship was also sailing westward, but its speed was slightly slower than Houyi and Xingtian, so the two ships slowly caught up with it.
"Why does this ship feel familiar?" Xiao Chen personally released the Mage's Eye, allowing the Mage's Eye to fly at high speed and catch up with the ship from behind. However, after observing the ship, he was stunned.
"What's going on?" Luo Ling asked.
"You definitely don't believe what I saw..." Xiao Chen scratched his head in confusion and said, "I seemed to see a steamship!"
Luo Ling asked, "Steamboat? Are you mistaken? Aren't they all said to be extremely backward barbarians?"
"It's the kind of ship. You can use the Mage's Eye to see it yourself. It's like... the Titanic in the movie, you know? It's the kind of steam ship with the big chimney."
Xiao Chen ordered a full-speed chase, and when they were close enough to the ship, everyone could see it clearly. Although the mages had already seen its appearance with the Mage's Eye, they were still shocked when it was right in front of them and they could see it clearly with their own eyes.
It was a real steel ship. Both the hull and the buildings on the deck were made of steel. There were two huge chimneys on the ship, from which billowing white smoke came out.
The ship is gray all over, with red patterns painted on the sides and superstructures. The ship has no oars or sails, but from the churning water at the back, it can be seen that more than one propeller is turning underwater.
At first glance, this ship looks about the same size as the Houyi.
Ma Anmin looked at the ship and said, "What's going on? Could it be that we traveled back in time when we crossed the Raging Sea? And we are now in the late 19th century and early 20th century
No, no, although it looks similar in general, many details are very different from those on Earth. Especially the superstructure of the ship, which has a strange and exotic feel. "
Xiao Chen said: "What kind of ship does this look like?"
"There are no guns or fishing nets on this ship. It looks like a cruise ship from the steam age," said Ma Anmin. "If this is exactly the ship made by the people of the Western Continent, then how can this be a backward continent?"
Xiao Chen said: "Continue to get closer to them. We should be able to find out the situation in the Western Continent from them."
Xiao Chen's Houyi and Xingtian were getting closer and closer, and the other ship had naturally discovered them long ago. A few sailors ran to the back of the ship, holding something like a telescope and observing their situation.
Then some people started waving small flags at them.
"There are actually flag signals?" Ma Anmin said.
"What do these guys mean? They seem a little nervous." Xiao Chen asked.
Ma Anmin said: "I don't understand. How can the flag language invented here in the Western Continent be the same as that in other places? Why don't we just shout at them?"
Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.
After a while, the sound amplification array on the ship was ready. Xiao Chen said to a small array on the bridge: "Attention, ships ahead. We are visitors from the East Continent. We have crossed the Raging Sea to come here. We have brought all kinds of goods and friendship. I hope you can let us on board and have a good talk with you."
The sailors were frightened by the sudden loud noise, but they seemed to understand Xiao Chen's words. After he repeated it twice, they sent two people to report to the officer on the ship.
Xiao Chen and the others waited for a while, but the other party did not give any response. On the contrary, the white smoke coming out of the chimney suddenly became more and more, and the steel ship began to accelerate as much as possible.
"Chairman Xiao, it seems that they don't buy your story. Instead, they seem a little scared."
Xiao Chen said: "If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to it, so let's go to their boat to have a look."
Xiao Chen called Luo Ling, Mei Tiantian and Huang Zheng, and prepared to take them to the other party's ship to find out what was going on.
The four of them came to the front deck of the Houyi, then flew up from the front deck of the Houyi and flew towards the opponent's ship.
