On the Seven Towers

Somewhere in the Wild Sea.

Xiao Chen stayed in the captain's cabin of the Houyi, tied a rope around his waist, and fixed himself to a pillar. All around him was a man secured in a cabin. Next to him was Ma Anmin, the captain of the Hou Yi, who was on the pillar next to Xiao Chen, and the other sailors who were manning the ship were fastening themselves to pillars and chairs as the Hou Yi rose and fell with great amplitude. With.

Looking out from the window of the captain's cabin, the surroundings are surrounded by terrifying looking waves. The sea water is so blue that it turns black. The undulating waves exceed the highest position of the Houyi's mast. The sky is gray and black, and dark clouds almost completely obscure the sky. , it is impossible to tell whether it is day or night. The surrounding air is also mixed with lightning and turbulence formed by magic elements. These turbulences carry a wild atmosphere and are no less powerful than the magic of the great magician. However, when they come near the Houyi and the Xingtian next to them, they will be neutralized by the power of the artifact made by He Xiaoxi.

However, the artifact can counteract the turbulent flow of magic, but it cannot stop the raging waves. The magic shield can withstand the impact of the waves, but it cannot stop the ups and downs of the ship's hull.

Ever since Xiao Chen and the others entered the violent sea, sailing in such huge waves was something they would encounter every day.

At first, everyone was not used to it. Many people got seasick and vomited every day. However, after sailing like this for more than ten days, everyone has adapted a lot. Even in bad weather like today, they are very skilled in fixing themselves in a certain position. position to avoid collision.

The ship broke through the crest of a wave and fell into the valley. The seawater that covered the sky hit the bow of the ship. However, there was a shimmering shield outside the Houyi and the Xingtian not far away. The seawater hit On the shield and then dissipated, like glass with water splashed on it, making the world around it a blur.

Xiao Chen said: "Fortunately, we have re-strengthened these two ships. Otherwise, according to the original structure of the Holy Sword, this ship would have fallen apart long ago after ten days of tossing in such sea conditions."

Ma Anmin said with a little worry: "Chairman Xiao, we can't be too optimistic. In the past few days, I have been observing the condition of the bottom of the ship with my mage's eyes. The damage to the bottom of the ship is getting deeper every day. Our shield cannot take care of the position below the ship." , although the keel has not been damaged, but if this continues, one day the ship will be unable to withstand it. I really don’t know how many more days it will have to sail in this environment.

Unfortunately, we cannot determine our current position and can only use the compass to determine the approximate heading. The unpredictable waves here made it almost impossible for us to judge the distance we were going. It was very likely that we sailed for most of the day and were pushed back half the distance by the waves. "

"According to the records in previous documents, the expedition team from the Seven Towers era spent nearly a month crossing the violent sea. Our power should be stronger than theirs. It has been more than ten days now, and it may have been no longer possible." Far away." Xiao Chen said.

Ma Anmin said: "I don't know how they crossed this sea back then. We had so many preparations, but it was still so difficult. The situation at that time was really unimaginable."

"With magic props and the power of saints, it should be nothing more than these." Xiao Chen said: "Don't underestimate the mages of the Seven Towers era. Think about it, they had much more magic resources than us. , the number of saints is much greater, and they are even thinking about how to banish the gods to other spaces.”

"That's true." Ma Anmin nodded, "But I think there is always something wrong with their actions. Maybe it's because they are not really led by time travelers."

At this time, Xiao Chen suddenly raised his head, "It seems that the waves have become smaller, is that right?"

The perceptions of the people around him were not as sharp as his, but after his reminder, they found that the height of the wave was getting lower little by little, and the power of the wave was indeed not as strong as before.

The heavy rain slowly turned into drizzle, the colors in the sky lit up little by little, and the sea became calmer. After about half an hour, they sailed out of the previous sea area, and the environment ahead began to look different from the past ten days or so. different.

After another half hour of sailing, the magic turbulence in the sky became less and less until it completely disappeared.

When the long-lost sunshine pierced the clouds and shone outside, forming a huge spot of light, everyone on the two ships was boiling.

Houyi and Xingtian turned off the artifacts and magic shields and sailed all the way west.

They did not have a sea map of this half of the world, so they were not moving very fast. Xiao Chen arranged for a group of mages to continuously use the magic of the mage's eye to explore the surrounding and underwater conditions.

They walked out of the Raging Sea in the morning. In the evening, a mage discovered seagulls in the sky. Following the direction of the seagulls' flight, they found a small island.

This small island is somewhat desolate, with only a few rare trees, a small hill and a small freshwater lake. But a place on the north side of the island is a very good natural harbor.

So Xiao Chen ordered the fleet to rest and recuperate here. The damaged areas of the ship need to be reinforced, the failed magic circle needs to be repaired, and the crew members who have not been ashore for a long time also need to step ashore for a few feet.

In the magical world, even if there are a lot of space storage facilities, warships like Houyi and Xingtian need to install a lot of weapons and defense facilities, and the water and food reserves are relatively limited after all. Therefore, replenishing fresh water from the shore is also very important.

That night, the crew members resting on the island set up tents and lit bonfires. There was a noisy bonfire party.

Outside the campfire circle, Xiao Chen held a glass of wine and walked towards Luo Ling who was looking up at the sky.

"What are you thinking about?"

Luo Ling took the glass, shook her head and said: "Nothing important, but I have been thinking about a question these two days. Why can this violent sea maintain such a state for tens of thousands of years, or even longer? What exactly generated it, and what maintains its movement?"

Xiao Chen laughed dumbly and said: "I didn't expect you to pay attention to such scientific issues now. If you ask me, this is a magical world, and there are too many things we can't understand."

"I think the power of this violent sea is not much worse than the power of the recorded natural god, right?"

"They are not the gods of creation, it is normal that their power cannot compare with nature."

"I am curious why the gods seem to be deliberately avoiding this area."

Xiao Chen said: "Didn't He Xiaoxi say that there is nothing they can pay attention to on the other side?"
