The next day.
Woo woo woo...
On the clear blue seaside, a huge ship that was four to five hundred meters long and one to two hundred meters wide moved slowly, making a whining and hissing sound.
The huge ship was engraved with two large golden characters 'Jade Dragon'.
The power source of the big ship is naturally not the turbines, steam, etc. of the big ships on the earth, but the spiritual array, and the source of power is not gasoline, diesel, etc., but sea crystals.
After this trip, it is said that just the sea crystal alone will cost tens of thousands of yuan.
On the ship, the crew has arrived.
In addition to the fifty newly recruited crew members, there are also the original 300 crew members of Yulong Trading Company, plus Miss Xuan's maids, servants, etc., for a total of 359 people.
The crew has two roles. First, they serve as bodyguards. Even the inhabited area of Da Luo Sea is not absolutely safe. They often encounter some sea monsters. If you are unlucky, you encounter some tyrannical sea monsters. In case of danger, the crew can protect people or cargo in times of danger.
Second, the crew can hold up the sails. Although the main power of the big ship comes from sea crystal, it is still equipped with huge sails. When there is a sea breeze, they can hold up the sails and rely on the wind to travel, but it will save a lot of money. There are fewer sea crystals, thereby reducing the cost of going to sea. On the other hand, if you get lost at sea, there will not be enough sea crystals. With a big sail, the big ship can move, and there is hope.
After more than three hundred crew members boarded the ship, under Jin Chi's order, they were divided into groups of two, especially the new fifty crew members, who were all assigned an old man as a match.
Grouping with Su Chen was a dark-skinned, tall, and friendly-talking man.
The man's name is Huang Teng. He is more than 2,400 years old and is on the second level of the Human Realm. He has been a member of Yulong Trading Company for more than 300 years and has gone to sea more than a hundred times in total. He is a veritable old man on board. He is very experienced and knows a lot.
now.
Because the wind was strong and the direction was good, at Jin Chi's request, the sails were set up.
All the crew members were under the big sail and raised the sail quickly and in an orderly manner.
Su Chen and Huang Teng were also among them.
While Huang Teng raised the sail skillfully, he said: "Su Chen. First of all, you need to be skillful in raising the sail, especially in cooperation with other people. Relying on one person alone is a drop in the bucket and is useless."
Su Chen nodded.
He was really not very good at hoisting the sail, and it was his first time trying it.
"Of course, whether you do a good job of setting up the sail or not, in fact, is not that important. Now that you are on the boat and going to sea, the most important thing is safety. Now, you can't feel it. After a while, you will know that there are storms on the sea. How terrifying.”
Huang Teng said, his face obviously serious: "Even though our ship is so big, if a real storm comes, it can overturn or even blow up our big ship. Remember, if a storm comes, Now, grab the sea rope nearby and don’t let go no matter what.”
"I know, Brother Huang." Su Chen smiled.
Huang Teng continued:
"In addition to terrifying storms, you will almost encounter sea monsters every time you go to sea."
"The area of Daluo Sea is said to be ten times or more than that of Daluo Tian. It is boundless. Even if it is the face of the human domain, it is several times that of Da Luo Tian. Anyway, Da Luo Sea is just one word, big, and Da Luo Sea There are really all kinds of sea monsters in the sea, all kinds of strange things.”
"There are even rumors that there are cities and dynasties built by undersea people in the dangerous and uninhabited areas of the sea 100,000 meters deep."
"Of course, this is a rumor. No one knows whether it is true or not."
"However, all kinds of sea monsters are real, and some of them are very aggressive. They like to attack big ships and are eager to eat human flesh. They are very scary."
"If you encounter a sea monster, your first thought must not be to run away, but to gather together. There is strength in numbers. We, hundreds of crew members, must gather together, and then follow the orders of the ship's commander to attack together. Defense will make you safer.”
… …
Su Chen continued to nod. In his heart, he still had a good impression of this dark-skinned child who often went to sea. He was very friendly and kind.
"Hey, going to sea this time is not easy!" As he spoke, Huang Teng suddenly sighed.
"Why?"
"The remuneration price for this trip to sea is more than three times that of the past." Huang Teng said with concern: "No one is a fool. Since we have given so much remuneration, it must not be easy..."
As he spoke, Huang Teng lowered his voice: "It is said that our trip is to escort Miss Xuan to Nanying Island. I don't know where Nanying Island is, but Chuanyin is a place close to the dangerous area. This escort trip The journey is not close! Moreover, the closer you get to the dangerous zone, the more terrifying sea monsters you encounter! You are a newcomer, so you are not lucky to encounter such a mission on your first trip!"
Next, Huang Teng's mouth was not idle, and he talked about a lot of experience in going to sea.
Su Chen was not annoyed, and kept listening patiently with a smile on his face.
soon.
Half a day passed.
The shadow of Haiwu City is gone, and there is endless sea in all directions.
The speed of the big ship is getting slower and slower because the wind is getting lighter.
"Everyone, please stop and rest." Finally, Jin Chi said, he was going to use sea crystal power.
The crew members straightened up and wiped the sweat from their faces. Most of them seemed to be in a good mood, talking and laughing. Some people took out some dry food from their space rings and ate it. The so-called dry food was various kinds of food. Pickled sea fish.
The sea breeze was blowing and the sun was high in the sky. It was a good weather.
The ship was huge, and its several hundred crew members were slightly spread out and seemed to have disappeared.
"It's forbidden to go to that area." Jin Chi raised his hand again, pointed to the front area of the deck, and said in a deep voice.
The forwardmost area of the deck is the best and offers the best views of the ocean.
It is the area belonging to Miss Xuan.
Except for Wu Like, not even Jin Chi could pass.
Many crew members looked at the front of the deck with envy and awe. At this time, Miss Xuan was leaning on the railing, like a beautiful scenery, isolated and independent. Beside her, the maid Xiao Qing was obviously in a good mood. , giggling, talking to Wu Like in front of him.
Wu Like also had a warm spring smile on his face. He was handsome and tall, and he was talking about something. However, his eyes looked at Miss Xuan from time to time. Obviously, he wanted to talk to Miss Xuan more and arouse her attention more. Note that unfortunately, Miss Xuan seems to be a very talkative person.
"One day, it would be great if I could join the Yunteng Sect and become a disciple of the sect!" Huang Teng was extremely envious: "I have always dreamed of having a glorious sect, but unfortunately, my martial arts talent is limited."
Huang Teng raised his head and looked at Su Chen, and said solemnly: "Brother Su, you are young, and you are already on the first level of Heavenly Dao. If you work harder, you may reach the third or even fourth level of Heavenly Dao before you are a thousand years old. By then, , you have a good chance of entering a small sect, you have to work harder!"
Su Chen nodded.
