twin moon

Chapter 240, Scene 32

It has been three days since the blizzard subsided.Qi Ziyin looked at the ten thousand li ice field reflecting the golden light under the rising sun, and suddenly felt a little glad that he didn't rashly order to set sail again.If they were forced to go to sea three days ago, these three lone ships carrying hope would most likely lose their direction in the wind and snow, and then hit the iceberg reef along the coast, destroying the ship and killing everyone.

Now, the battleship full of supplies is riding the wind and waves in the sea south of Guizhou and continuing to advance westward.In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed, and the color of the sea gradually changed from that of the Chanying Sea in the south.

Although in the eyes of the sailors, the Chanying Sea has always shown a deep black.However, on a sunny day, sunlight can still penetrate the surface sea water, making it a color with a hint of indigo and a hint of turquoise.

But right now, I don't know if it's because the weather is too cold or because of other reasons.The seawater in the south of Guizhou is as thick as ink, swallowing up all the light reflected on it, and only a few inches below the waterline on the side of the boat, you can't see your fingers.

Even if there is a wind blowing, it can only cause some small and fine ripples on the sea surface, and even the wake left by the boat will soon subside.

Dressed in white, Ye Guogong stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the black and white boundary between land and sea in front of him, as if he was looking at a chasm split by a giant axe.On one side of the chasm, there is a crumbling world full of holes; on the other side, there is an unknown where life and death are uncertain.Whether advancing or retreating, it would be a big gamble for him and the entire fleet.

"'The mysterious water is like a slurry, and it does not stir. It is as black as ink, and the light cannot pass through.' Therefore, the sea under our feet has been called the dark sea by boats going north for thousands of years, and it is regarded as an ominous waters. "

Suddenly a voice sounded behind him, causing Qi Ziyin to turn around to look, only to see a purple dress coming.Leng Jiayun stood beside the young man in white, but did not look at him, but frowned slightly and continued:

"It is said that there are countless man-eating beasts lurking under this water area. They are extremely afraid of light, so they spit black juice into the seawater to avoid the sun. Only on nights when there are no stars and moons, the beasts will leave the water and go ashore, calling The sound is like weeping. If there is a boat passing by, it is often mistaken for someone to be in a shipwreck, but they follow the sound, but they fall into their trap."

"That strange beast - sister Jia, has she seen it before?"

Qi Ziyin detected a trace of extraordinary fear from the other party's expression.The purple-clothed woman beside her turned her face and nodded after a long time:
"Back then, Qingwan City had just been restored. After the settlement by the Nuanshui River failed, Baili and I tried to continue westward, in order to find a real place outside the Dasheng Dynasty. A paradise. However, things went against our wishes, all we can see is the vast ice sheet and this dark sea.”

Leng Jiayun paused as she spoke, "And this is the furthest point we have ever been to. Going further west, we will bypass the Ghost Crying Cape at the westernmost end of the Ghost State. The sea is covered with ice floes. Unable to sail..."

"Ghost Crying Cape?" Qi Ziyin heard for the first time that there is such a place in the world.

"This name was chosen by Baili, how about it? It fits his style, right? After passing Guiwai Cape, there is a wider sea. Even Guizhou seems to be just a small island in the boundless ocean. It is said that under the constant north wind all day long, the sea full of floating ice will become more and more terrifying. It seems that the gate of the underworld has been opened, intending to engulf all the living beings in the past."

The woman from Dongli finally turned her head.Although what I said was a terrible memory, I smiled at the young man opposite me, "When we passed the ghost crying cape, there was a sudden storm. The north wind blew across the sea, and the undulating sea instantly formed A thick layer of ice. Immediately, the ice surface was broken again, and the strong wind rolled up more than ten feet of waves, carrying countless debris and hitting the hull. I will never forget the screaming cold—it really seemed like Countless life-threatening ghosts are crying in this barren and uninhabited place..."

As the woman spoke, she seemed to be caught in the memories of that period of narrow escape.The young Ye Guogong looked at her and didn't bother her again.Because he understands that in places where he has been together, he will miss the old man more and more.

But the silence at sea didn't last long, and was broken by a shout from the sentry on the mainmast.

"Boat from behind! Fly the flag of Penghu!"

When Qi Ziyin heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he hurried towards the stern of the ship.From a distance, at the end of the dark sea level, a huge battleship exposed its towering mast.The blue-blue corner flag fluttering on the top of the pole, like a sharp arrow declaring war, shot straight into his eyes.

"Everyone is in place immediately! All ships prepare for battle, prepare for battle!"

The young man stretched out his hand to pull the scarlet belt around his collar, and the snow-white sable fur immediately fell off his body, revealing the black heavy armor inside.After learning that Mulu City was attacked, Qi Ziyin could not suppress his yearning for his homeland.He also knew that if Mo Zeming's deduction was correct, the enemy called Yu Li would appear in this extreme northern sea one day.The young man has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to avenge his country and the innocent people in the city of Mulu.

The five-tooth warship of Peng State is indeed an extremely exquisite creation in the world.Although its hull is huge, its draft is shallow, and it will not lose its balance and capsize.Coupled with huge sails and 26 pairs of long oars that can be rowed manually, the speed in the sea is several times that of the tiger-headed flying fish boat under Qi Ziyin's feet.

Soon, the shadows of more than a dozen warships appeared on the horizon, making Ye's three lone ships look even weaker.However, the young Ye Guogong seemed to have already made a plan, pointing to the Guizhou coast that appeared in sight, and ordered loudly:
"Advance with full sail, before the other party catches up with us, bypass Ghost Cry Cape!"

The sailors on board were all puzzled and worried about this seemingly reckless decision.However, Leng Jiayun, who was always closely following the young man, didn't say much, but raised his hand to hold his shoulder, patted him hard, and then repeated the order again.

As the ghost crying cape in sight became bigger and bigger, and even the reefs on the shore of the cape were clearly visible, the Penguo fleet had chased it to a distance of only a few hundred steps.The enemy army lit a brazier on the ship, and the crossbowman also lit the tip of the arrow, waiting to get within range and deal a fatal blow to the fleet of the Kingdom of Ye.

At this time, Yu Li on the flagship of the Peng Kingdom was sitting in a couch on the high platform at the stern of the ship, not paying attention to the remnants of the Ye Kingdom that appeared in front of him.In his opinion, even if the young master of the Ye Kingdom, who is wearing white clothes, has great abilities, and now he is at sea as a widow to resist the crowd, he is facing himself who has led troops to sea countless times and returned triumphantly. The odds are good.

However, just as the Peng Guojun bent his bow and pulled the string, and ignited the arrow tip wrapped in tarpaulin in the brazier, there was a sudden thunder in the sky.The rumbling loud noise made people feel uneasy.The sky darkened in the blink of an eye, and the originally sunny weather suddenly turned dark like an eternal night.

The thick clouds, like thick ink poured into clear water, rolled, spun and piled up, and then turned into the color of night, eroding all the light that the naked eye could see.

At the same time, the three lone ships led by Qi Ziyin suddenly accelerated.

Yu Li didn't care about that.After all, when he followed Qi Shouyu to build the Zhenlan Fortress on Hailing Islet, he did not see bad weather in the Tiannu Strait, so he immediately ordered the fleet to speed up and outflank the opponent's fleet.

However, when he ordered the first round of attack, he suddenly heard someone on his own ship exclaim.

In the blink of an eye, several thunderbolts illuminated the dark sea again.It was only then that Yu Li saw in horror that a large unknown sea area was gradually unfolding in front of the bow right.On the surface of the sea that had already become choppy and undulating, a wall of waves several feet high unexpectedly appeared at some point.

Under the electric light, the wave wall revealed a strange blue color.In the translucent sea water, there seemed to be some living things swimming around.In the fleeting glare, a large continuously moving shadow was left behind.

But at this moment on Qi Ziyin's ship, the young Ye Guogong had already ordered to turn the bow of the ship, and sailed at full speed to face the still-forming wave wall ahead.

"Attention! Behind this huge wave, there must be a strong north wind! We must rush to the top of the wave before the sea freezes, otherwise the side of the battleship may be pierced!"

Leng Jiayun and Qi Ziyin stood side by side on the podium at the stern of the ship, commanding loudly.Even women who have visited this sea of ​​death have never seen such a terrifying scene.Although the beautiful face was full of determination, it lacked some courage to go forward, but it was a little more awe-inspiring.

As the waves gradually became steeper, the battleship under their feet gradually tilted its head in the water, as if it would lose its balance at any time, tip over backwards, and sink into the vast expanse of black water.Everyone on the ship is now also grabbing everything they can grab before, so as not to fall on the slippery deck and be thrown into the sea.

I don't know how long it has been going like this, but the originally aggressive battleship gradually slowed down.When only the dark cloud with thunder and lightning could be seen in sight, but the mysterious black jade-like wave wall could no longer be seen, the towering bow of the ship suddenly fell downwards, and then hit the sea severely.

The splashed seawater stirred up countless white foams, crossed the bow, rushed onto the deck, and then receded quickly.A gust of extremely cold new wind arrived just as Leng Jiayun had said, blowing on everyone's faces and bodies soaked in water.

The north wind was bitter and strong, and in an instant, a thick layer of frost formed on the brows of the bun.Qi Ziyin felt as if there were countless needles piercing through his skin, straight into the bone marrow.In just a short moment, he even found it extremely difficult to speak.

The young man couldn't help but raised his hand to rub his face, but his fingertips were stained with a faint red.She hastily turned her head to look at the woman in purple beside her, only to see that the wide sleeves covering her face had also been frozen into a piece of ice, hanging down her arms at a strange angle.

Qi Ziyin turned his head to look at the bow of the ship again, and was extremely surprised to see that the sea ahead was freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye.The towering waves are like a mountain raised in the sea.And the lone ship on the top of the mountain under his feet began to slide straight down along the abnormally flat and rapidly frozen water surface on the back of the wave wall!
There was a thunder, and the huge wave wall collapsed suddenly with a loud noise.The young Ye Guogong felt that his feet were suddenly empty, and he was carried by the boat and fell straight down.In his eyes, he could only see a piece of darkness enveloping him, and it was difficult to distinguish where was the sky and where was the sea.And all he could do was hug the railing post on the podium in front of him desperately.

Amidst the noisy exclamation, the turbulent sound of the wave wall and the whistling wind, Qi Ziyin still heard a few muffled sounds in his ears.The sound was not like ordinary thunder, and there was no lightning flashing across the sky afterwards.The body was stretched to the limit, and it was almost impossible for the boy in white to make any movements, turning his head and looking in the direction of the sound.

It turned out that it was the warship of the Peng Kingdom that was trailing behind, struggling to launch the final charge towards the highest point of the wave wall.It's just that the wave wall that had already begun to collapse never gave them a chance to successfully climb over.

On the top of the waves, the sea water that had already condensed into ice, like a huge shield, shot straight at a five-toothed ship that had not yet reached the top.Facing the huge lump of ice smashing towards them like a hill, the Penguin battleship could only do some unnecessary resistance, throwing all the wooden barrels filled with blue flames equipped on the ship into the sea and igniting them.

Blue Flame formed a series of violent explosions in the sea water, and also blasted the ice on the sea surface into countless pieces.However, the shattered ice did not disappear, but was lifted up by the blast wave and continued to attack the Penguo fleet.

Among them, the larger icicles hit the deck and side of the five-toothed warship hard like ice bombs.Although the wooden planks used to build the boat were thick and heavy, after being soaked in ice water for a long time and then suddenly hit by an external force, they became extremely fragile and broke on the spot.

The icy sea water poured into the cabin through the breach, drowning countless sergeants who were paddling hard at the bottom of the cabin.And the people on the deck were not spared, because the countless ice shards blasted by the blue flames were like a rain of ice arrows falling from the sky, directly piercing the Kuijiao leather armor on their bodies, and piercing the flesh, muscles and bones, killing people. Life.

Immediately afterwards, the collapsed wave wall slammed down hard on the Peng Kingdom fleet that was still on the wave wall.Between the surging sea water and the surging ice floes, Yu Li's flagship was instantly engulfed, and after several ups and downs, it finally disappeared from Qi Ziyin's sight.
