Chapter 410 The Black Ship Arrives and the Blue Dragon Appears
The top of the snowy mountain. 【🆆🆆🆆🆂🆃♦♦♦♦🅲♦🅼】
After climbing to the top with great difficulty, everyone was silent.
Because when they looked back, they could see nothing like the snowy plains before.
The fog covered everything, and one could even vaguely hear the sound of the tide.
In the fog, a huge black ship was slowly approaching here.
Although it was still a long way from the Great Snow Mountain, the sense of oppression was extremely strong.
Some people were so scared that they were trembling all over, and they couldn't even stand steadily.
Kong Xiangdong's expression was very strange.
There was solemnity, but more of curiosity.
But soon Kong Xiangdong waved his hand, "Let's go!"
After that, he turned around and walked towards the mountain.
Under his leadership, people sped up and soon crossed the top of the mountain.
Next was a straight road down the mountain.
It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down the mountain, but it is just the opposite on this snowy mountain.
Because everyone took out one of the essential items for traveling on the snowy plains, the sled and skateboard, at the first time.
After they were dressed, everyone began to slide down at a very fast speed.
With the help of gravity, people's speed became faster and faster.
It took a full half day to go up the mountain, but it only took a cup of tea to go down the mountain.
After everyone successfully arrived at the foot of the mountain, Kong Xiangdong led people to the snowy plains without stopping.
This walk took more than a day.
During this more than a day, a lot of things happened on the snowy plains in the north.
First of all, the huge black ship finally arrived before the Great Snow Mountain, and the two had a violent collision.
The huge noise at that time almost made Kong Xiangdong and others think that the sky collapsed.
But it was precisely because of the obstruction of this great snowy mountain that the speed of the black ship slowed down significantly, which also won precious time for people to escape.
Secondly, the coverage of the polar night has been significantly expanded.
In previous years, although the seashore of Wuwang Sea fell into polar night, as long as they crossed the Great Snow Mountain and walked a short distance, they could leave the range of polar night and see the sun again.
But this time, Kong Xiangdong and others walked for a whole day, and it was still dark as far as the eye could see.
Finally, under the influence of polar night, the temperature continued to drop.
In just one day, the temperature fell to the limit of previous years.
You must know that at this moment, they have been far away from the core area of the northern snowfield and came to a place close to the south. The result is still the same. You can imagine how shockingly low the temperature is.
Fortunately, Kong Xiangdong's men are all experienced old seafarers, and they are well prepared, so they can still bear it for the time being.
But what is more difficult than the low temperature is the situation in front of them where there is no hope.
Because no one knows how large the coverage of this polar night is. If it is far beyond the previous northern snowfield, doesn't it mean that even if they cross the Great Snow Mountain, they will not be able to leave this area in a short time?
Coupled with the falling temperature and the nightmare-like huge black ship that could be seen when looking back, an atmosphere of pessimism and despair began to spread quietly in the team.
Many people had lost hope in life and just followed the team almost numbly out of instinct.
Once they encountered any emergency, there was almost no chance of survival.
Looking at this scene, Yang Zhan was worried.
He took a few quick steps, took out the last pot of high-proof liquor in his collection, and handed it to Kong Xiangdong.
"Drink some wine to warm yourself up!"
Nowadays, liquor, especially high-proof liquor, has become the most precious thing in the team.
Kong Xiangdong was not polite. He took the wine pot and gulped down a few big mouthfuls, and then handed it back to Yang Zhan.
Yang Zhan did not take it, "You take it, I still have some."
Kong Xiangdong turned his head and looked at him, and finally nodded, "Okay!"
But Kong Xiangdong did not keep the pot of wine privately, but passed it to the back.
Although the remaining wine was only enough for everyone to drink a small sip, in this kind of weather, every bit of heat was precious.
Because of this small sip of wine, the morale of the team was slightly boosted.
Yang Zhan was not happy, he whispered: "If we calculate according to the distance, we should have come to the edge of the northern snowfield now!"
"Yes!"
Kong Xiangdong did not hide it from Yang Zhan.
In fact, this could not be concealed. Anyone who is interested can find this fact with a little thought.
"So do you think that it is just that the scope of the polar night has expanded a little, or..."
Yang Zhan hesitated, then licked his pale lips, and said hesitantly: "Or has the outside world changed?"
When he said this, Yang Zhan's eyes were full of fear.
Because if the second guess is true, the blow to morale will be devastating.
Even without talking about others, even Yang Zhan himself can hardly accept this reality.
After all, the reason why these people who go to the sea or do the business of going to the sea can endure the harsh environment of the seaside, go through wind and snow, and even take huge risks to risk their lives, is ultimately because of hope.
Although it is hard at the seaside, after this season of going to the sea, these people can return to the outside world, either to support their families or to spend their days in luxury.
It is precisely because of this thought that this group of people can endure the hardships.
But if the outside world also changes suddenly, and the belief that supports them collapses, what will happen, even Yang Zhan can't predict.
Kong Xiangdong shook his head, "No!"
"It should just be that the scope of the polar night has expanded."
"Why are you so sure?" Yang Zhan's eyes lit up, and then he couldn't wait to ask.
"Because of the pigeon." Kong Xiangdong said.
Yang Zhan suddenly realized, and his heart settled down.
"Yes, how could I forget the pigeon."
At that time, they had just crossed the Great Snow Mountain, and the first thing Kong Xiangdong did was to release the pigeon.
And if the outside world also fell into darkness, then the pigeon would definitely not find the direction and eventually return.
But now that the pigeon has gone and never returned, it obviously means that the outside world should be normal.
"Let's go, although the outside world should be normal, it will change if you delay. If you always stay on this snowy plain, it is hard to guarantee that other things will not happen." Kong Xiangdong said.
"Understood!"
Yang Zhan cheered up and turned to shout at the people behind him.
"Everyone, work harder. It won't take long before we can leave this hellhole. Don't get discouraged now!"
Hearing what Yang Zhan said, the spirits of the people who went to the sea were all lifted, and even their steps became lighter.
They trudged for half a day. Although the sun was not visible, judging from the time, it should be morning.
After crossing the snowy mountain, everyone did not stop for a moment. They traveled for a whole day and night. As a result, they still saw a dark scene.
The mood of the crowd inevitably fell to the bottom again.
Some people were tired and hungry, and even cried and laughed while walking. It was obvious that their spirits were on the verge of collapse.
Kong Xiangdong's eyes also showed blood, but his expression was still very calm, and he kept walking at the front of the team.
Yang Zhan didn't even have the strength to speak at this time.
At this moment, he felt dry mouth and wanted to drink.
But the last jar of wine had been drunk several hours ago.
He could only scrape some clean snow from rocks or dead bushes from time to time and put it in his mouth to relieve his thirst.
He didn't know how long he walked like this.
Yang Zhan felt that he was in a trance. If he hadn't looked back occasionally and saw the looming black ship standing in the distant sky, he would even think it was a dream.
After waking up from the dream, he was still resting well in the camp.
Not only him, but the condition of others was not much better.
Many seafarers stumbled and fell to the ground while walking, and never got up again.
At the beginning, people would be panicked and try their best to rescue them.
But after a long time, people became numb, and even looked at those seafarers lying on the ground without any breath, and some people even envied them.
In fact, lying down like this is not bad!
At least you don't have to be so tired!
Just walk and walk!
Suddenly.
The sleepy Yang Zhan felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
He was a little confused at first, not knowing what happened.
But then he heard Kong Xiangdong's shout.
"Close your eyes, don't look at the light, we have come out!"
Those who can walk here alive are the elite among the elite, and naturally understand that they have been in a dim environment for too long. Once suddenly exposed to the light, it is easy to cause blindness.
So when they heard Kong Xiangdong's words, these people immediately closed their eyes.
Despite this, the warm touch projected on the skin still made many people cry with joy.
Is this the taste of sunshine?
Finally, after adapting for a quarter of an hour, Yang Zhan opened his eyes first, and then saw Kong Xiangdong standing on the top of a big tree observing the distant scene.
He immediately rushed over.
"What..."
Yang Zhan wanted to ask what happened, but the scene in front of him made him shut his mouth.
At this time, they had indeed left the scope of the polar night.
But looking back, they saw that the road they came from was completely covered by a layer of gray fog.
Not only that, in this layer of fog that seemed to have taken away all the colors of the world, the silhouette of the black ship could still be vaguely seen.
"What should we do now?" Yang Zhan murmured in a low voice.
"Cold it!" Kong Xiangdong said lightly.
Yang Zhan was a little amused, "Are you still joking at this time?"
"I'm not joking. Now that we have left the northern snowfield, people can leave on their own if they want to, but I will wait here to observe their movements and wait for Zhao Ya's reply!" Kong Xiangdong said very seriously.
Yang Zhan nodded when he heard it, and then said, "Then count me in too!"
"You?" Kong Xiangdong looked at Yang Zhan in surprise.
"Why? After all, we have eaten from the same pot, how can I abandon you?" Yang Zhan said very naturally.
And it was not just him. When everyone learned about the situation, except for a few people who wanted to leave, almost all the others chose to stay.
In the words of these people who go to the sea to fish, it is obvious that this black ship is coming with great force. If the truth is not thoroughly investigated, not only will they not be able to go to Wuwang Sea to fish in the sea in the future, they may not even be able to live in peace.
Kong Xiangdong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and agreed to let everyone stay.
Soon, people rebuilt the camp and assigned tasks to ensure that there were people observing the movements in the distance all the time.
Just when Kong Xiangdong and others finally walked out of the northern snowfield and set up the first observation line on the periphery, Zhao Ya, who was tens of thousands of miles away, finally received the message from the carrier pigeon.
After reading the letter, even Zhao Ya couldn't help but change color.
Because the facts described in the letter were really too horrifying.
The fog rose, the black ship descended, and the dead were resurrected...
These things were superimposed on each other, making it full of weird colors.
But soon Zhao Ya took a deep breath, and then his mind calmed down.
In fact, long before this, Zhao Ya had a rough guess about the existence in the fog of Wuwang Sea.
The black ship that appeared now did not escape these guesses.
What surprised Zhao Ya was the strange attack method of the beast head on the bow.
According to what Kong Xiangdong said in the letter, when looking at the beast head, the dead silence that extinguished all life was enough to destroy a person's spirit.
If it weren't for the reminder of the white-eating bird leader, he would have died at that time.
And Kong Xiangdong also briefly described the image of the beast head in the letter.
Looking at the seemingly true and false sketch, Zhao Ya fell into deep thought.
Because although this sketch is very simple, many places are seriously distorted.
But Zhao Ya felt familiar no matter how he looked at it.
Until he looked at it from a certain angle, a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
Isn't this thing the legendary hell demon?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but think of a rumor about Wuwang Sea.
It is rumored that the depths of Wuwang Sea lead directly to hell, and the fog that never dissipates all year round is floating up from hell.
Now the appearance of this black ship and the beast head statue on its bow make this rumor more real.
Could it be that this black ship really came from hell?
Otherwise, how could the dead be resurrected and fight for it?
But Zhao Ya soon put this idea behind him.
Even if there is hell in this world, without solid evidence, everything is just nonsense.
The current plan is not to think about the origin of the black ship, but how to deal with it next.
Zhao Ya did not dare to delay, and immediately got up and came to the Tibetan, and ordered the young disciples to invite Qin Jianji and Shen Yunshen to come.
When everyone heard what happened in Wuwang Sea, they couldn't help but change color.
"Black ship? Wuwang Sea is blocked by fog all year round, how could a ship appear?" Qin Jianji said in great surprise.
"But it just appeared!" Zhao Ya said in a deep voice, and then looked at everyone.
"Master, two elders, for now, I plan to announce this news as soon as possible so that all sects can prepare."
Guo Luming, Qin Jianji, and Shen Yunshen were all shocked, and Shen Yunshen couldn't help but say: "So what you mean is..."
"That's right, I plan to issue the Canglong Order and spread it to all the major sects in Huawai!"
