Half a month later...
"Red, red sea!"
After three and a half months of sailing.
This day.
It's just dawn.
I heard someone on the deck shouting: "Found it, found the red sea."
Jiang Xuan quickly opened the window to take a look.
Enter the eyes.
The sun shines on the sea, but the sea surface is not dark blue or abyss-colored, but reflects light red ripples, as if there are gems hidden under the sea.
"Yes, it's right here."
Lin Zhennan came to Jiang Xuan with excitement and held the nautical chart, holding up the chart to show him: "The reason why the sea here is light red is because the seabed is covered with a kind of red shells. Mr. Jiang, we
We have arrived near Yi Island."
Don’t wait for Jiang Xuan to answer.
The lookout on the mast waved again: "Ahead, there is a small island ahead!"
Hear this.
Jiang Xuan climbed onto the mast in two steps and looked forward, and sure enough he saw a small island.
"Leader Lin..."
Compared to the excited crowd.
Jiang Xuan thought more and said to Lin Zhennan who also came to the mast: "They say Wangshan is a dead horse. This small island appearing on the sea level in front of us is twenty or thirty miles away from us, right?"<
/p>
"More than that."
Lin Zhennan replied: "This island is actually very big. Although you can vaguely see the island now, it is actually at least a hundred miles away from the island."
Hundreds of miles!
Jiang Xuan talked about this distance, and couldn't help but glance at the light red sea around him: "You said before that the reason why this sea is light red is because the seabed is covered with red shells."
Speaking.
Jiang Xuan raised his head and looked at Lin Zhennan: "Did you send someone to go into the water when you came here last time?"
"Yes."
Lin Zhennan did not hide anything: "The old man didn't let us land on the island, but we were idle on the sea, and we were curious why the sea was red, so we sent a few people with good water skills to dive down, and finally found
A lot of red shells."
Hear this.
Jiang Xuan found it incredible. You must know that this place is still hundreds of miles away from the abandoned island, but the red shells have already extended here. If the same is true in other directions surrounding the island, this means that the red shells are covered with hundreds of miles.
Here.
"Is there something in the shell?"
"No."
"Nothing at all?"
"Nothing at all. We fished in many places, but no matter where we fished from, all we fished out were empty shells with nothing inside."
Lin Zhennan said bluntly: "This place is like a cemetery of red shells. I heard some old people at sea say that some turtles have turtle cemeteries. As long as they feel that their life span is about to end, they will return to the cemetery to wait for death.
I think these red clams may also have this kind of nature, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why there are hundreds of miles of red clam cemetery here."
Can’t explain it?
In fact, not necessarily.
Jiang Xuan looked at the red sea in front of him. Although this place is located deep in the ocean, it should be inaccessible.
But if, as he thought, this was the ruins of an ancient immortal sect, these red shells might have been thrown here artificially.
After all.
These shells, which turn the sea surface into a red color, are very beautiful to look at, and they are also delicious.
People from the ancient immortal sect raised red shells in captivity here, then ate them and threw the shells into the sea.
Day after day, year after year.
As a result, this spectacular red sea was formed.
Of course.
This is just his personal conjecture, and it’s hard to say what happened.
"Ashore."
Look at the mountains, jungles, and beaches in front of you.
Jiang Xuan ordered: "You are not allowed to go to the island without my order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
Lin Zhennan nodded repeatedly.
See he understands.
Jiang Xuan suddenly said again: "Leader Lin, have you really never been to the island?"
Lin Zhennan was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Xuan continued: "You have been the leader of the Nanwu Alliance for six or seven years, right? You have spent so much time writing down the route, haven't you ever been curious about what is on the island?"
Lin Zhennan immediately shook his head.
"Don't worry, I'm just talking casually." Jiang Xuan said easily: "If it were me, and a mysterious old man was my boat, and I landed on a mysterious island, I would definitely know it after writing down the navigation chart.
Take the time to come and take a look, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night. As for you, I'm not a fool, so I don't know what you will choose."
Hear this.
Lin Zhennan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Jiang, I have never been to this island."
"Maybe."
Jiang Xuan said nothing more, but looked at the island in front of him.
This island is actually very big.
Make an estimate.
It must be hundreds of square kilometers anyway.
After calculation, the territory of Macau is 3.9 square kilometers. The island in front of us is at least three or four times larger than Macau. If there is fresh water on the island, three to five million people can live on such a large island.
Not a problem.
In addition.
The island has undulating mountains and dense trees.
The only regret is that although there is a green forest, there are no traces of birds surrounding it, making this island a bit more dead.
Of course.
I can understand it too.
The island is located in the deep sea, with no mainland at all on the left and right.
The flying ability of birds is not enough to span such a long distance. Only islands within three to five hundred miles of the continental shelf can be inhabited by birds.
"Stop..."
There are still four to five hundred meters away from the island.
Jiang Xuan directly ordered the ship to stop and the Maple Leaf stopped on the sea.
"Everyone stays on the boat. No one is allowed to go to the island without my order."
Speaking.
As soon as Jiang Xuan stepped on the deck, he shot towards the coast like an arrow from a string.
Tap tap tap...
Walking on the water all the way.
Although Jiang Xuan does not know how to cross the river with a reed, his Baishou Cloud Skill is not bad, especially after reaching the Grandmaster realm, the true energy gathers under his feet, as if he is stepping on a big net, and a few dragonflies can touch the water.
Standing on the beach of Yidao.
"Huh?"
As soon as Jiang Xuan landed, he felt like he was being watched.
Illusion?
Jiang Xuan looked into the jungle on the island.
Enter the eyes.
There are so many shrubs in the forest that it is impossible to see what is inside.
"Interesting!"
Jiang Xuan is also a talented and bold artist.
Not only did I not flinch after I noticed the prying eyes, but I became more and more eager for the next trip.
"Sure enough, something is targeting me."
Jiang Xuan strode into the jungle.
As soon as I entered, I heard the sound of trampling dead leaves deep in the jungle, and the feeling of being spied on became more and more obvious.
But look left and right.
The thing he was spying on was very secretive. After looking around, he didn't see anything, but he found a stone tablet.
"Yuan Ling..."
Jiang Xuan recognized the handwriting on the stone tablet. Because it was so old, the handwriting on it was very blurry. It took a while to confirm that the third one was the character "贝".
"Yuan Ling Bei..."
What?
The fourth character was really unrecognizable, and Jiang Xuan could only guess at it: "Bei Chang?"
Hiss!
If it is Yuan Ling Bei Chang.
This shows that this ruined island is not the site of the ancient Immortal Sect, it is just a resource point at best.
Look behind the stone tablet again.
There are also two words behind it, and together they are: "Kong Ming!!"
What does it mean?
Kongmingzong?
Yuan Ling Bei Chang?
That’s what I mean.
Jiang Xuan looked around again, but there were no other stone tablets.
"Huh?"
Jiang Xuan is about to continue searching.
Chapter completed!
