Although we know where to break this barrier, we still cannot grasp the power of the ancient ship. No one knows how powerful it is, and it is unpredictable. Whether we can successfully find these six bodies
The coffin is still unknown.
But I always have a bad premonition, always feeling that something big will happen this time. This feeling makes me unable to calm down, I feel very panicked, and I am always in a state of tension. I hope my worries are unfounded.
Before setting off, we replaced the batteries of our high-power flashlights with new ones, and then re-checked the weapons and equipment. Now everyone has less than a handful of bullets left in their hands. Ammunition is very tight.
There are not many grenades left. Once the bullets are used up, we can only fight with knives. This is the most difficult thing for us. If there are enough bullets, there is no problem in saving lives. Without bullets, it means that the number of grenades is reduced.
Half of the life force is gone.
We first walked along the stern of the ancient ship to the bow, and then walked around from the bow to the other side of the ancient ship, and then continued walking toward the stern. This way we can have a general look at the appearance of the entire ancient ship. Is there anything wrong with the appearance?
The obvious damage can be seen almost at a glance, and it is also easier to find a suitable position to board the ship.
From stern to bow, this ancient ship has a total of four sails, one at the bow and stern, and two in the middle of the ship. These four towering large sails make this ancient ship look more majestic.
But people like me seem so insignificant under the ancient ship.
But when we walked around from the bow to the other side, we discovered that we no longer needed to use ropes to climb onto the ship this time, because the ladder of this ancient ship was right in front of us.
This ladder dropped from the top of the bow to the ice, as if it was specially prepared for us. It was just right. It was really strange. It seemed that the purpose was to welcome us on board. It was so weird.
"There is actually a ladder? It's great. I don't have to climb the rope anymore, and my hands don't have to suffer." Martin looked at the rope in front of him and said a little excitedly. Looking at him like this, he seemed to be very interested in climbing the rope.
fear.
"Why are you so happy? This ladder was lowered for no reason. Don't you feel weird?" Jiao Ba said with a cold face.
Martin said disapprovingly, "What's so strange about this? Mr. Jiaoba, you are too worried. This is just a ladder. There's no need to make such a fuss, right?"
"Jiao Ba is right, it's better to be careful. No matter whether there is danger or not, we can't be careless. You guys wait for me below, and I'll go up and take a look first." Mr. Mai greeted, and then started to climb up the ladder to the boat.
After he successfully climbed onto the boat, he waved for us to go up. Chang Shan set off for the second time. He grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up. The surface of the rope ladder was also covered with a layer of ice, making it very slippery. If you don't pay attention,
If so, it will be easy to fall off the rope ladder.
For the sake of safety, we only climb one person at a time, which can also avoid unnecessary injuries. First, we are afraid that the load-bearing capacity of the rope ladder is not enough. If there are more people, the weight will definitely increase. This rope ladder is hundreds of years old. If it can withstand
If you don't keep it in place, it will break easily, and it will be really dangerous then.
The second is to prevent slipping. If the person climbing on top suddenly slips, when he falls down, the people below him may also be knocked down. So this is too dangerous for one person.
Even if you fall down when climbing a rope ladder, the rest of us below can still be somewhat useful.
In about half an hour, all of us climbed onto the ancient ship, and I was the last one to board. Only when I climbed onto the ancient ship did I notice that there was no cabin at all on the bow, except for the deck.
There are only some other supplies on the boat, such as buckets and ropes.
We had no choice but to start walking along the bow to the stern. When we were almost in the middle of the ship, a step appeared. Under this step was the entrance to the cabin we were looking for. On both sides of the entrance, there were
There are two steps.
But the entrance to this cabin is somewhat special. It actually has two hatches. Normally, there is only one hatch on the deck. Go down the hatch and you will find the cabin inside.
But there is no hatch on the deck of this ancient ship. Instead, there are two entrances in the middle of the ship. Moreover, the overall structure of this ancient ship is also very different from other ships. Although these six ancient ships are all different,
Logically speaking, they should all be similar.
But the structure of this ancient ship looks more like a small watchtower. The bow must be flat, but starting from the middle of the ship, the floors are getting higher and higher, especially at the stern. There seems to be a very big
There are obvious lofts and the style of the building is like a courtyard. It looks quite artistic. However, because it is blocked by sails, the view is somewhat unclear and it is not very obvious. But it is certain that the building was built
The style is definitely different.
"So the entrance to the cabin is here, Mr. Mai, shall we go down?" Jenny asked.
Mai Lao shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's go to the stern of the ship and take a look."
We walked down the steps, then walked up the steps on both sides of the hatch, passed the third sail, and almost reached the stern of the ship. At this time, it was more obvious.
The first thing that appeared in front of us was another step. This step was very high, probably as high as two or three stories. After going up this step, it was a building that was basically the same as a courtyard. As expected, it was what I had seen before.
Pretty much. This small courtyard is very unique. There is only a large round table in it, and the rest are wooden stools. It looks more like a place for eating and chatting.
"The construction of this ancient ship is very artistic. When I was down there, I couldn't see it very clearly. But when I came up, I realized it was quite special." I walked into the small courtyard and looked around and said.
"The ancients were quite elegant. They actually built such a unique environment at the stern of the ship. It was very charming to drink and chat here at night, blowing in the wind and admiring the moon." Li Xin said with admiration.
But Chang Shan suddenly said, "This is not a place to eat. It must be used for observation. You see, the building in this courtyard is the highest point on the entire ancient ship, except for the sails. The view is relatively small."
It’s relatively open, so it’s perfect to use this place as a lookout point.”
"Do you want to be a lookout point here? Is this the stern of the ship? There are sails blocking the front. Why don't you look out at the bow of the ship, but here?" I asked without understanding. I felt that this shouldn't be the case. How do you see this place?
It's like a leisurely place to eat and drink.
Mai Lao looked at us and said, "Chang Shan is right, this is for lookout. There is a lookout point on the bow of the ship, and naturally there is a lookout point on the stern of the ship. When going out to sea, you not only pay attention to the front, but also to the surrounding environment.
You have to pay attention. When people went to sea in the Ming Dynasty, there were no radars, let alone advanced instruments. The only way was to use telescopes to observe the surrounding sea areas, so we built such a lookout point at the stern of the ship."
"Even if this is the case, why don't other ancient ships have this lookout point?" I still don't understand. Although I have been at sea for many years, I really don't know anything about the construction of ancient ships.
Mai Lao pointed to another ancient ship in the distance and said, "Actually, there are them on every ship, but they are built in different shapes. You see, some ships have some particularly high pillars at the stern, which are second only to those sails."
, and on top of that pillar, there will be a small observation tower. The sailors will take turns to stand on the observation tower and be responsible for observing the surrounding situation. In fact, it has the same basic properties as this observation tower."
Along the way, there was almost nothing that could stump Mr. Mai. The ancient ship he pointed at could only be seen as a ship shape, and the observation deck on it was not visible at all. But I thought about it carefully, and it seemed that
This is indeed the case, and what he said makes sense.
After listening to what Mr. Mai said, Jenny suddenly expressed some understanding and said, "Oh, that's it. Mr. Mai, you really know a lot. I admire you more and more."
Mai Lao waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "This is not a skill. Many people know it, including Chang Shan and Jiao Ba."
Jiao Ba just smiled and did not answer, but Chang Shan said, "I also inferred that after all, this place is built so high that it cannot be just used for eating, and the location here is very good, suitable for a lookout point, but from here
It can be clearly seen that the owner of this ship must have been relatively high-status at the time."
"The owner of this ship? Are you just talking about the owner of this ship, or..." Jiao Ba asked with squinted eyes, not knowing what his words meant.
"Of course I'm just talking about this ship. There are currently six ancient ships here, which means there are six mages. But none of us have thought about this question. Is there one of these six dark mages?
Where is the leading mage?" Chang Shan glanced at us as he spoke.
"You are right, there is always a leader in everything, and there must be one among these six mages... I understand what you mean, you are saying that this ancient ship is probably that*
Is it the *master's burial place?" Jiao Ba looked at him suspiciously and asked.
Chang Shan nodded and said, "Well, that's what I mean. However, four ancient ships have been excluded so far. These six coffins are very likely to be on the same ship, but there is also another possibility that it is the most senior **
The master himself has an ancient ship to himself, and the coffins of the other five masters are buried in another ancient ship."
After Chang Shan finished speaking, Jiao Ba's eyes suddenly changed. He rolled his eyes and said, "It makes sense. According to normal analysis, there should be six ancient ships, and each ancient ship should have a coffin. But
Now that we have eliminated four ships and only two remain, it is very likely that they are what you said."
