After accepting Song Yan's three first-grade Xuandan pills, the boatman took out a piece of animal skin directly from his arms, with the route map drawn on it.
Everyone was filled with hatred for this. It was obvious that the boatman was ripping them off.
"Senior Brother Huang, do you want to teach that hateful guy a lesson?" Chang Sunrou stared at Gu San with unkind eyes and asked Song Yan for his opinion.
"Junior sister Zhangsun, do you think that boatman is stupid?" Song Yan asked meaningfully.
Changsun Judao: "How is it possible? That guy is too cunning."
Song Yan nodded: "Since he is not stupid, why would he dare to blackmail us so blatantly? It would be fine if his cultivation level was higher, but he is just a body-refining warrior. Who gave him the courage to blackmail us? And he also Acting so confident?"
After hearing Song Yan's words, everyone looked thoughtful.
"Is it the Holy Martial Academy?" Zhou Yi said.
"Most likely." Song Yan nodded again: "If I'm not wrong, this boatman will play a big role in our next voyage. If we touch him rashly, we will lose more than we gain. Isn't he greedy? ? At worst, we just bribe him!"
Hearing this, everyone agreed deeply, and at the same time, they admired Song Yan even more.
Song Yan didn't know if the boatmen on other boats would be as cunning as the ones on their boat, but he knew that someone would definitely suffer from this group of boatmen.
For the first hour, Song Yan and others could still see other ships.
But an hour later, the distance between them had been stretched far, and it was difficult to see other ships.
The ship was not big, and after accommodating eleven people, there was not much free space.
For the first three or four hours, many of them were quite interested in the sea view around them, but gradually they became numb and sat on the boat to meditate and adjust their breath.
Song Yan did not adjust his breath, but went to sit next to the boatman and asked him for advice on how to maneuver the boat and identify the direction.
Boatman Gu San seemed cunning, but he was actually a happy person. After Song Yan gave him another first-grade Xuandan, he taught Song Yan the skills of boating and how to identify the direction in the sea without hesitation.
Song Yan has strong mental strength, excellent memory and learning ability. He mastered the ability to operate a boat in just one hour.
This small boat was not made of wood, but of a metal he had never seen before. It was very light but very strong, somewhat similar to the titanium alloy used to make airplanes in the real world.
Moreover, there is a power formation engraved on this boat, which can make the boat fly with just a little effort.
The power cultivated by warriors in this world is mainly used for fighting and attacking, but it has little effect in increasing life span.
This mainly depends on the environment of the world.
After all, the human race is the weakest among the three races of humans, demons, and demons. If the force was not strong enough, the demons would have swallowed up all the bones and dregs. Therefore, humans are more willing to focus on how to enhance the attack power and destructive power of warriors. aspect.
But the formations in this world are quite exquisite, which makes Song Yan very interested.
The formations he had seen at Qingwei Sect included illusion formations, defensive formations, and gravity formations. This time, he also saw a power formation.
If the human race focuses on researching formations, they may not be able to create Dongli formation aircraft, various formations, trains and cannons in the future.
It's a pity that humans still focus on the practice of martial arts.
As for formations, they are only auxiliary things and few people study them.
After learning to maneuver the boat and identify the direction, Song Yan took out the route map and studied it.
From Haizhou to Holy Spirit Island, it is about 14,600 nautical miles.
This small boat can barely travel 1,200 nautical miles a day, so as long as it doesn't take too long, it shouldn't be difficult to reach the Holy Spirit Island within the stipulated time.
Suddenly, Song Yan put away the route map because he sensed that the speed of the boat suddenly increased a lot.
Subconsciously, he soared into the sky and reached an altitude of tens of meters. He raised his eyes and looked forward. During his chat with Gu San, he once mentioned that there are many whirlpools in the sea. Once he falls into the whirlpool, he will will be swallowed up.
Sure enough, a huge whirlpool appeared more than ten sea miles ahead.
When Song Yan landed on the boat again, everyone else stopped adjusting their breath.
"Did something happen to Senior Brother Huang?"
Song Yan said in a deep voice: "A large whirlpool appeared about ten nautical miles ahead. Everyone quickly helped Brother Gu row the boat and took a detour."
Everyone was ready and quickly picked up the oars on the boat and started rowing. However, except for Song Yan, the others didn't know how to row at all. Therefore, they all started to do it together, which made the boat spin in place.
Song Yan quickly explained to them the techniques of rowing.
Half an hour later, the boat finally got around the whirlpool, and everyone was a little frightened.
Because except for Song Yan and the boatman, no one knew how to row, they were almost pulled into the whirlpool.
"In three hours, we will reach a small island, and we will rest on that island tonight." Song Yan said to everyone.
Everyone has no opinion on this. After experiencing the whirlpool incident just now, everyone has confirmed Song Yan's leadership. If he hadn't discovered the whirlpool in advance and taught everyone the skills of rowing, it is very likely that everyone would have been involved. In the whirlpool.
Even if they could barely escape with their lives, it would be difficult for them to survive on the vast sea without a boat.
Three hours later.
A small island is in sight.
After floating on the sea for several hours, everyone longed for the feeling of being down to earth, so they all picked up oars and rowed together. As a result, the speed of the boat increased several times, and they arrived at the island in less than half a quarter of an hour.
After dragging the boat onto the beach, Song Yan divided everyone into four teams. One person and the boatman Gu San stayed at the beach, and the other three teams were in groups of three, looking for dry firewood, hunting, and fresh water respectively.
Considering Gu Xie Huayu's temperament, Song Yan asked her to stay on the beach.
Song Yan, Yin Zhengyang, and Changsun Rou were in a team, Zhou Yi, Tianyi, and Changsun Haoran were in a team, and the remaining three were in a team.
Everyone was very efficient. In less than half an hour, they found enough dry firewood and fresh water. Song Yan, who was in charge of hunting, also captured two first-level monsters.
Soon, two bonfires were burning on the beach, making bursts of crackling sounds.
Zhou Yi thought he had good barbecue skills, so he and Song Yan each took a monster to barbecue.
After taking out the demon cores, Song Yan threw the two demon cores directly to Gu San. The other party did not dislike it and happily accepted them.
Less than half an hour later, the monster that Song Yan was responsible for roasting had turned golden, and rich oil and water continued to drip from the barbecue, causing the campfire to emit bursts of hissing sounds from time to time.
Looking back at Zhou Yi, although the monster beast responsible for roasting was almost cooked, some parts were burnt. In terms of sales, it was far inferior to Song Yan's.
Seeing this, Zhang Sunrou couldn't help but praise: "Senior Brother Huang is really amazing, he even has such great skills in barbecue."
