The news sent back by the exploration fleet suddenly made Li Ming feel incredible...
He just asked the fleet to explore the border areas outside the entire Huaxia map. As a result, what he knew now made him understand the official map settings.
The entire spiritual world continent's two imperial territories are all surrounded by the vast ocean!
However, the officials have blocked the edges of the territories of the two empires with a closed map. No matter what method the players use, it is impossible to cross the edge of the map within the territories of the two empires, let alone know that there is a long coastline beyond the map.
Within the entire map of the Spirit Realm Continent, only the ends of the map at both ends of Peace City in the middle have been set by the system to have coastlines. They are located at the northern end of Peace City, the northernmost edge of the Fengwu Mountains map, and the southern end of Peace City.
This map originally belonged to the Holy Land of the Dragon Clan.
In other words, only these two places in the entire Huaxia map can escape the restrictions of the terrain, allowing players to have the opportunity to enter the vast sea. Apart from this, there is no other outlet to the sea.
Moreover, these two seaports have different settings. The seaside map of Fengwu Mountains requires players to find a secret entrance to enter, and then successfully reach the seaside.
However, the seaport south of Peace City is occupied by the Dragon Holy Land. Unless players trigger the crisis mission of the Dragon Holy Land, this seaport can be opened smoothly.
The entrance to the sea of the Fengwu Mountains now seems to have been deliberately set by the system to be a terrain contested by the two camps. Whoever can find the entrance to the Fengwu Mountains first will be the first to occupy this precious seaside terrain and build a seaport city.
The entrance to the Dragon Head Fort is a hidden terrain setting that can only be occupied by whoever triggers the mission, regardless of which camp the players belong to.
Players in the Chaos camp can trigger the Demon Soul mission and help the Demon Soul subdue the Dragon Clan. Then the location of the entrance to the sea will appear immediately. Players in the Chaos camp can directly enter the Elf Valley through the secret passage, thereby truly controlling the southern entrance to the sea.
But this time, the demon soul did not succeed.
Players from the destiny camp, such as Li Ming, happened to help the Dragon Clan resist the invasion of demon souls. After the Holy Land was destroyed, the location of the sea exit also appeared.
Now Li Ming understands why the Elf Valley is set in front of the Dragon Burial Wasteland and is protected by a special barrier. This means that the Elf Valley is actually a neutral map. Players from the two camps can occupy it.
Take full control of the map.
After understanding the situation, Li Ming was even more surprised. The importance of these two sea ports is of course self-evident. What other important settings are hidden in the system?
Is it really as I guessed that the district battle channel is in the vast ocean outside the two seaports?
He became more and more curious...
But the information from the exploration branch leader was not like this. The news that shocked him the most was not revealed until the end!
"Boss, I personally took a ship and took the risk to continue sailing far away along the wide sea. Because during the day, I found that after their fleet entered the archipelago to transport supplies, a small number of ships quietly sailed into the deep sea, so I
I took advantage of the middle of the night when no one was around to let the boat sail into the deep sea. As a result, the journey lasted more than two hours. I almost gave up the search several times, but I was always unconvinced. Who expected that I would find it this time?
We built a unique island..." said the branch leader.
"What island, can you introduce it in detail?" Li Ming was very excited when he heard his tone, so he asked curiously.
"This island is located in the middle of a large expanse of sea. There are no islands within a hundred miles of it. It is just a black round island, and there is a round volcano in the middle of the island, which constantly erupts a huge plume of smoke.
, the 500-meter area around the island that is close to the shore is full of dense stalagmite-like islands and reefs, making it difficult for ships to approach the shore," said the branch leader.
"What's going on? There is such an island. What's its name?" Li Ming's eyes were stunned. The volcanic island described by the branch leader sounded very strange...
"This... our ship can't get close to the edge of the island, so we can't know its name. But after hiding in the distance and circling the island for a few times, we found that there are traces of the activities of the other players on the island. It seems that they have cracked the code.
The secret of this island must have very important settings." said the branch leader.
"The inaccessible island..." Li Ming frowned and thought.
"Boss, this is a screenshot. The lighting is not good at night, so the screenshot is not very clear. You just have to look at it. I will find a way to take a screenshot during the day," the branch leader said.
In the private chat channel, a screenshot of the sea in a dark environment immediately popped up...
In the dark sea, countless light spots reflecting the stars in the sky could be vaguely seen on the wide sea surface, and far in front, a tall round island and a black smoke column suddenly appeared on the sea surface.
From the top of the island, it connects to the sky. From a distance, it looks like a black dragon rising into the sky...
As the branch leader said, the screenshot at night was very blurry, and because the ship could not get close to the island, it was a screenshot hundreds of meters away. He could only slightly see the outline of the island.
"There is no need to take screenshots during the day. The island is very high and there is a vast sea all around. If you go there during the day, you will be discovered by the enemies on the island before you even get close to the island, so they can be prepared in advance." Li
Ming said.
"Then...Boss, I suspect that there is something very important to the enemy on this island. It would be a pity not to find out." said the branch leader.
"Don't worry, sooner or later we will form a fleet to go and have a look. We can't let the other party know now that we have quietly arrived at their territory." Li Ming reminded.
"Understood, we can't alert the enemy." The branch leader smiled.
"In the past two days, your mission is to explore all the sea conditions in the northern seas without being discovered by them. I want to know how many islands are distributed on each sea surface, the wind speed and wave conditions there, so that we can be more convenient in the future.
A large number of fleets entered." Li Ming said.
According to the system settings, there are various wave intensities in the spiritual sea, and each ship has a different level of wind and wave resistance. Therefore, some sea surfaces are inaccessible to medium-sized ships, while some sea surfaces are not dangerous, so we must find out.
Find a suitable route.
"I know, boss, we will definitely find out the situation in the sea area over there as soon as possible in the next few days." The branch leader quickly replied.
"You did a good job this time. After working hard for a few days, you came back to find out the situation and upgrade quickly to make up for the level. I still have a greater responsibility for you." Li Ming said with satisfaction.
There are more than 500 players on these three ships. They are a team specially selected by him, and the players in this group are not just made up. He asked the three guild leaders to specially select those who live in the area from their own guilds.
The real coastal area is composed of players who have grown up by the sea since childhood and have some practical experience in going to sea!
In fact, from the moment he selected the candidates, Li Ming was already thinking about cultivating a group of elite sailing players. After accumulating sailing experience in the game, they could become the sailing core of the entire four major alliances.
These five hundred people took on the task of exploring the coastline of the spiritual world. It was just the first test task given to them by Li Ming. Unexpectedly, they completed it very well... (To be continued)
