Chapter 1116 Chain Change
The people of Neverwinter were not the only ones to see this astonishing scene.
Earlier, Margaery was standing on the bow of the Yukikaze, looking at the end of the blue sea - this was the sixty-sixth day after the fleet crossed the sea line, and the waves were always coming towards them. The waves surged in different directions, with the waves rising and falling, and the changing frequency was basically the same as the tidal interval in the shadow sea thousands of miles away, as if these seawaters all came from the same place.
If the Whirlpool Sea really has a source, it must be the greatest discovery in history.
In addition to the waves that guide the direction, another thing that makes the businesswoman confident is the Yukikaze.
Its body that does not rely on sails allows it to travel through strong winds and waves without worrying about being overturned. Its huge load can also replenish fresh water and food for other ships. It is the first time that it has come to a place so far away from the land, but there is no sea ship. The ship fell behind, relying on this steel ship that was built with a lot of money.
She has reason to believe that Lei Lei will not return empty-handed from this trip.
"Did you find anything?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Margery smiled and turned back, "If there is really something, the first person to notify you must be the lookout on the mast, so you should ask them."
The opponent is none other than the leader of the fleet, Thunder.
"Not necessarily," he said cheerfully, "They may have discovered it a long time ago, but they said they became mute or lame because they were too shocked."
"Pfft..." Margaery covered her mouth to hold back her image-destroying laughter. What the other party was talking about was what happened when crossing the sea line - when the sea level appeared in front of the fleet like a vertically rising wall, even the most experienced sailors were stunned by this incredible scene. When the climb was officially over, some people's feet became weak due to the sudden upside down environment and they fell off the watchtower.
Usually these veterans can cling to the cables and masts like geckos even in violent storms, but this time they lost their footing and fell in calm conditions, which clearly shows the shock the sealine brought to them.
Lei Lei shrugged, "As far as I know, several chambers of commerce later replaced the lookouts with the best eyesight and replaced them with the boldest ones. After all, it would be too embarrassing to tell this matter."
"Is there still such a thing..." Margery shook her head helplessly, "But after seeing such a strange scene, I think no matter what they find again, they won't lose their composure like before."
"Who knows." Lei Lei patted her shoulder, and his voice suddenly became calmer, "Don't worry, Qiong will be fine."
Margaery also stopped smiling and nodded vigorously, "Well, the sea is her world. I think she will meet us again somewhere eventually."
When sailing on the boundless sea, an optimistic attitude is very important. Compared with meaningless worries, cheering up and continuing to move towards the goal is the mature way to deal with it. Margaery naturally knows this well.
"By the way, I came to see you because the navigation meeting is about to begin." After the two were silent for a moment, Lei Lei tilted his head and signaled, "The other captains have arrived, let's go back to the cabin."
"Well, I understand."
The sailing meeting is where every captain in the fleet gathers on the flagship to report and communicate on the upcoming route, ship status, and resource status. It is usually held every three or four days and is also the key to ensuring the overall health of the fleet. means.
The two of them had just turned around and not taken a few steps when they saw a strange red color suddenly reflected on the blue sea.
The sailors on the deck were all stunned, looking in the same direction, as if they had seen something incredible.
Farther away, several people fell from the top of the pole of the three-masted sea-going ship and fell into the stunned crowd - everything seemed to reappear when they crossed the sea line, which surprised Margery. .
Didn't it mean...this group of people has been replaced by the boldest one?
The businesswoman slowly turned around and suddenly felt that the blood all over her body had froze.
I saw a huge celestial body appearing in the cloudless blue sky. It had a round outline, bright red body, and was dozens of times larger than the sun. But before counting the breaths, there was obviously nothing there!
"Three gods... bless you," she couldn't help but murmur, "Is this what your majesty said... the red moon?"
But Margaery didn't get any response. This scene was so weird and terrifying that even Lei Lei was speechless.
“Woo————————Woo————————”
Just then, the Snow Wind blew its whistle.
A sharp buzzing sound broke the dead silence of the scene and brought everyone back to their senses.
A long whistle means an enemy is approaching!
The two looked at each other and ran towards the bridge in unison.
"What the hell happened!" Lei Lei shouted as he rushed into the command room.
"There is... there is... a ship," the first mate stammered, "It's heading towards us from the southeast..."
"What did you say?" Lei Lei snatched the lookout glass from his hand and pointed it at the direction mentioned by the first mate.
Margaery's heart also sank. They were now thousands of miles away from the Shadow Sea. Let alone people, even birds were rare. How could they encounter a ship?
You must know that this is a new sea area that humans have never set foot in!
She asked another adjutant to pass the observation mirror and followed Thunder's gaze——
"Oh my god……"
The businesswoman took a breath and saw two shadows floating on the sea in the distance. They also had no sails, but they were riding the waves. But this is not the most terrifying thing. The water around the shadow seems to be boiling, as if countless schools of fish are accompanying them.
But she soon discovered that those surging things were not schools of fish, but the last thing that merchants and explorers at sea wanted to see.
Sea ghost.
The fins behind them appeared and disappeared, and occasionally they jumped out of the water. The rising waves reflected a strange luster under the red moon, which reminded Margery of the scene when sharks were fighting for food.
"Give me the order to turn all ships to full rudder!" Thunder roared, "Pull up the sails and move forward at full speed! The rest of us are ready to fight!"
"yes!"
"We're in trouble..." The captain of the Tuna swallowed.
"May the sea god bless you," the other captains prayed.
Any fjord person knows that unless it is a light boat or a strong wind and a smooth current, a sea-going ship cannot outrun the sea ghost. This means that if the other party comes towards them, it will be a matter of time before they are caught up.
But the situation is clearly taking a turn for the worse.
As the distance got closer, Margaery finally saw clearly the true appearance of the two shadows - they were half like ships and half made of accumulated flesh and blood, like monsters whose skin had been peeled off, leaving only their internal organs and skeleton, often with only Only in the worst nightmares would a creature like this appear. When the ribs on the upper part of the package opened, they began to spray out groups of dark green objects towards the fleet, which was a distance of more than ten miles!
The water column caused by the object falling into the sea frightened everyone. Although no ship has been hit yet, there is no doubt that everyone is willing to try what it is.
Thunder Face sank into the water and issued the second order, "Abandon all food and expedition supplies, and keep only half of the fresh water... No, 30% will do! Let the fleet speed up as soon as possible!"
Margery was stunned for a moment, "This way, we won't be able to move forward to deeper seas."
"And with only so much fresh water left, the return journey alone will probably be..." the first mate said with a confused look.
"You can fish from the sea to eat, and you can wait for the rain to drink," Lei Lei took a deep breath, "But if you can't outrun the water ghost and that damn monster, you won't even have a chance to gamble - the adventure has already It’s over, and now there is only one purpose… and that is to survive!”
