"woohoo"
Yukikaze also sounded its thick whistle at this time. .
That was the signal to set sail.
The four sea-going ships at the head of the column raised their sails and separated from the fleet.
Crescent Moon Bay, Sunset Island, Shallow Water City, Shuanglong Island… The ships of the four major chambers of commerce followed the Xuefeng and slowly sailed towards the shadowy sea.
The originally wide field of vision gradually became blurred, and the sun also dimmed. Although it was only a kilometer or so away, it seemed like he had entered a completely different world.
Camilla felt the shaking of the hull disappear as the mist covered the deck.
"What happened?"
"Don't worry, the power unit has just stopped." Margery seemed to see her doubts, "The most important trick to sailing here is to be slow. If it's a small boat, it's okay to say that a big boat depends on the speed of the water slope. Enough. Look behind you"
Camilla looked in the direction she was pointing. The Chamber of Commerce ships that had just raised their sails also lowered their sails, and some of the sails were facing each other, which was definitely not seen during normal sailing. .
In addition, a flaming brazier was erected before and after each ship to mark her position, but even so, she could only see the traces of two sea-going ships, and the outline of the third ship was completely hidden in the fog. In the middle, the faint firelight was like an indefinite firefly, while the fourth ship seemed to have completely disappeared.
"We're going downhill?" Camilla asked suspiciously. After staying on Sleepy Island for a period of time, she no longer knew anything about the sea. When the high sea water engulfed those caves or crevices, there would be vortices on the water surface, the small ones were no more than the thickness of a finger, and the bigger ones could be up to several meters. But no matter what, the sea water will converge from all sides to the vortex center, and the closer it is to the end, the faster it will be.
She thought that the sea was too wide, so she couldn't clearly feel the changes in the ocean currents, but now the fleet has entered the depths of the shadow sea, and the water surface is still so calm, it's a bit unreasonable.
She even saw that the algae floating on the water were fluttering out of the sea!
This means that the direction of the ocean current has not changed at all, not to mention that it has converged towards the bottom of the slope, and there is no sign of turning back, at least in this area!
"It looks incredible, but it's the truth," Margery nodded. "If the ebb was caused by a huge whirlpool, we wouldn't even have the idea of exploring. Because the whirlpool that can affect the entire sea is more likely than The abyss of hell is still deep, and breaking into it must be a dead end. It is precisely because it is so strange that Lei Ting hopes to find out." She paused and looked at Joan, who was staring at the sea in a trance. The limit, it is almost impossible to dive into the bottom of the sea, and it is your help that gives us hope."
Having said that, this place is a bit too weird. Camilla looked at the wet stone pillars and islands and reefs around her, and she felt a little hair in her heart. On the reef in the distance, there are only shadows of different shades left, just like ghost claws sticking out from a nightmare.
"Acridine! Fish! Red fish!" Joan exclaimed suddenly.
Camila turned her head and saw a bright red "river" suddenly appearing on the right string of the Yukikaze. Although she had been informed by Thunder in advance, she still felt a sincere shock when she saw it with her own eyes.
Ghostly Red River.
A special channel made up of fish!
"Stop smacking your lips, red scale fish is not delicious." Margaery patted Joan's head, "As long as you follow the ghostly red river, you can reach the ruins of the triangular tower, His Highness Tilly should have mentioned to you, Inside the ruins is a strange instrument similar to a telescope, which can see a vast continent that has never been seen before, and that is also the ultimate goal of our voyage."
"She did tell me."
"Unfortunately, our current destination has nothing to do with the ancient ruins, otherwise you will be able to personally feel the majesty and wonder of the ruins." The businesswoman said regretfully.
"No... I'll avoid it." Camilla said decisively, if she could, she hoped to never set foot in this sea again.
"Your reaction is the exact opposite of Your Highness." Margery covered her mouth and smiled.
After sailing slowly for about an hour, the Xuefeng stopped by a large island reef, followed by the three-masted sea ships of the four major chambers of commerce and other ships. After the fleet anchored, the leaders of all parties gathered on the deck of the flagship superior.
"It's actually quite a lot," the adjutant of the Snow Kaze pouted, "I thought you guys would drive the boat onto some rock, and then cry and ask for help."
"You are not the only ones who have excellent captains and sailors." The people from the four major chambers of commerce naturally wouldn't think they didn't hear it. "The steel ship is good, but the people on the ship are not necessarily."
"Okay!" Lei Ting's appearance interrupted the dispute in time, "Arriving smoothly is the best result. There is no danger on the way, right?"
"No," said the people in charge of the chamber of commerce, "this time it seems to be extraordinarily quiet, and I haven't even encountered a sea ghost."
"I also find it strange that there are always one or two unlucky people who are dragged into the water by sea ghosts."
"Or did the route we choose avoided the ancient ruins, and those monsters prefer to use the ruins as their lair?"
"Sounds kind of plausible."
Lei Ting pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to calm everyone down, "If that's the case, then it's not too late. The low tide will last until the evening at most, so it's best to go deep to the bottom of the sea before that. If we don't find anything, we must take advantage of the high tide. Leave, or you will be trapped in the waters of the archipelago, unable to move." He looked at the two witches, "Joan, Ms. Camilla, I will leave it to you next."
"Acridine." Joan nodded earnestly.
"As long as you can make these people shut up." Camilla glanced at the explorers angrily, "I declare in advance that I need to concentrate when I communicate with my mind, and whoever interrupts me by yelling at that time, can Don't blame me for not coming back!"
After receiving Thunder's assurance, she put her hand on Joan's shoulder and closed her eyes for a while. After a slight dizziness, another picture appeared in her dark eyes, which was Joan's vision.
Go ahead, Camilla said in her mind, if the connection is interrupted, or if you encounter any dangerous situation, you will turn back immediately, understand? Don't be brave, your friends are still waiting for you to go back.
When she mentioned the word friend, she obviously felt a slight tremor in the other party, and then her whole spirit became firm, she knew acridine!
Then Joan jumped back and jumped into the sea.
A cool and comfortable feeling suddenly surrounded Camilla.
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?" Thunder asked.
"Everything is going well so far, the depth is about 50 meters," Camila replied, "Those pillars don't seem to be getting thicker, even the islands and reefs... I didn't see anything like the seabed or submarine peaks. They're all separate."
This is her task. Although Joan can go down and down in the water freely, she cannot accurately express what she sees. If she wants to know as much as possible what the other party sees, only the ability of spiritual resonance 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 pillars and islands are still continuing, and there is no sign of the end," Camilla murmured in a low voice, "Damn, they are too big. Longer. Maybe the reefs that look like little islands aren't really islands, but..."
"But what?" someone asked.
She swallowed, "It's just a thicker stone pillar."
