Chapter 217 Sea Beast Fishing Boat
In the dream world.
Alka wakes up in the night in his dream bubble.
As his eyes opened, he turned to look at the huge crystal floating in his world.
At this time, only a little bit of the dream energy that had been stored in the transparent crystal for a long time remained.
Watching this little bit of energy floating in there, Alka couldn't help but sigh.
“I could imagine that it would cost a lot to use dream energy to flow into reality and construct something physical, but I didn’t expect it would cost this much.”
Alka simply constructed three metal lightning rods with lightning-attracting properties, but he didn't expect that these three rods would almost consume all the dream energy he had stored for several months.
This was the result of using a mirror to reduce the energy required to transition from dreams to reality.
If we use force to break through the barrier between the two, it will cost more, and perhaps the energy injected into the outside will only be enough to build two lightning rods.
It seems that if you want to understand how to spend the least energy to achieve the most results, you can only witness the moment when the barrier between the dream world and reality is broken.
Alka understood the world of dreams, and such situations were not uncommon, but they only occurred sporadically around the world.
Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. After all, the reason why I only have so little energy is because there are too few creatures in the dream range of the forward route, and this place is too desolate.
It might take several days to encounter a target to hunt.
Control your body and float out bubbles.
When Alka came to the outside world, he was a little surprised when he looked at the surrounding scenery.
Because many , these bubbles were water blue and unusually transparent.
You can clearly see from the outside that it is filled with sea water, which means that these are the dream bubbles of marine creatures.
But it was the first time that Alka saw so many bubbles floating around on the forward route.
It seems that this place is no longer as desolate as before.
Looking at the bubbles, Alka turned his head.
Only then did he realize that except for his own dream bubble, there were all kinds of light and shadow creatures outside the dream bubbles of all his teammates around him, attacking the bubbles.
Although there were many creatures, they were all things Alka had seen before, or similar things, so he simply cleared them out.
Arka curiously began to explore the dream world around him.
Indeed, it can be seen that it is a little more lively. There are many dream bubbles floating around, big and small, but all transparent. They are dreams of some wild animals, nothing special about them.
The appearance of these bubbles also means that there are many living creatures in the outside world.
But why did such a change occur in this last paragraph?
Is it because the sea area next to it belongs to the sea god?
Not to mention that it can be confirmed that there are intelligent races living on the route forward.
After making a round and finding nothing special, Alka came to the outer edge of his dream bubble.
A mirror appeared on his face and the Dreamcatcher floated out of his chest.
The two forces began to interact and change the surroundings.
This is Alka's test of strength and some verification of his own ideas.
These are the main things that Alka has been dreaming about during this period.
He wanted to study how to separate part of the dream bubble, and how to build defenses for the bubble so that it would not be disturbed by creatures in the dream while it was sleeping.
This matter has been bothering him for a long time.
It was impossible for him to fall into a dream every time the crew members on his ship rested.
And it is impossible for the creatures in dreams to be so weak every time and not have an impact on their dreams.
But once you really encounter that fatal impact, it will be too late.
Even if it is not fatal, it is unacceptable if it causes excessive harm.
There’s nothing wrong with planning ahead.
Moreover, the time spent in dreams is sufficient, and the external body also needs to use this time to rest.
But obviously Alka gained nothing.
It was not until the early morning that Alka returned to his dream, where he fell asleep and quickly recovered from his mental fatigue.
When you wake up in the morning.
Alka simply washed up and came to the restaurant.
Breakfast had already been set on the table in the restaurant.
After a while, Xia Daiti also walked in from outside.
"Morning."
"morning."
After saying hello, Xia Daiti sat opposite Alka and started eating breakfast.
"How long will it take until we completely cross the forward route?" Alka asked while eating.
Alka doesn't know much about this aspect, and it is usually Xia Dai who pays attention to it.
Hearing Alka's question, Xia Daiti chewed the food in his mouth, pointed at the table and said, "I don't know. After coming here, the water flow in the forward channel is getting faster and faster, and the intervals between strong waves are becoming more and more frequent. I can't calculate how long it will take.
But at this speed, if we continue sailing non-stop, it won’t take more than 10 days.”
Hearing this Alka nodded.
He could feel the ship beneath him getting faster and faster.
Then more people came into the restaurant.
After finishing breakfast, Alka left the restaurant.
As soon as he got outside, he saw a cable floating down and then patted him.
"What's wrong?" Alka asked curiously.
A melodious song came softly. After hearing the song, Alka understood what the song wanted to express and nodded.
"So it has come to this. Come to think of it, I did cause you quite a bit of injury yesterday."
Then he turned around and looked into the restaurant. Seeing Pororo and Jason still having their meal, Alka said, "Don't dawdle. It's time for maintenance today. The Voice of Dawn is already urging us."
"Is it this time?" Jason said, eating the food in his hand quickly.
Pororo simply threw all the food around him into his mouth, stood up, clapped his hands, and walked towards Alka.
Jason followed closely behind, still holding the unfinished food in his hands.
After watching the two's actions and hearing what Alka had just said, Simon followed curiously.
"If you don't mind, let me help too. How about that? I'm very curious about the structure of this ship, and the holes that were repaired yesterday also need to be inspected more closely. To be honest, I've never seen any other ghost ships." Simon walked up and said.
"Other ghost ships? Have you seen others before?" Porro asked casually.
Hearing this question, Jason laughed at the side and said, "You are stupid. Didn't the captain of the ship he once took possess the treasure? Of course, that steel ship is also a ghost ship."
Simon smiled and nodded at Jason's words.
Just like Jason said.
Alka nodded to Simon's request.
After all, it is just routine maintenance and does not involve core areas. It only oils and inspects the surface of the ship's deck, sails, masts and other areas.
And Simon and he also repaired the damaged areas caused by lightning yesterday.
After a day, I did check if there were any problems with yesterday's patch.
Fortunately, these patches do not make the ship ugly, after all, this is a beautiful girl.
Moreover, this is a ghost ship, a living ship. These patches added on it will merge with the ship like flesh and blood, and be perfectly repaired.
Simon told him this knowledge when he was repairing it yesterday.
After picking up the tools, everyone started to do maintenance separately.
Simon followed Alka.
The place to maintain the ship should be on the shore, but it is too difficult in the sea area like the Forward Channel.
After sailing such a long distance, Alka and his companions only encountered two islands in total, and that was because Alka discovered the dreams of terrestrial creatures in his dreams.
If it weren't for this reason, they might have drifted all the way to the end of the sea without seeing a single island.
So I'll just have to make do with it.
The sails were lowered and the ship moved along with the current. Except for a slight slowdown in speed, nothing changed.
Carefully check the sails, especially the degree of corrosion of the material and whether there are any damaged areas on the spells that need to be repaired.
"The spells are arranged so neatly and distributed so perfectly." Simon looked at the distribution of the spells on the sails and couldn't help but say in amazement.
"Do you know anything about shipbuilding?" Alka asked without looking up as he inspected it.
“I learned it while in church and participated in it a few times, but only in an assisting capacity.”
Hearing this, Alka nodded.
The maintenance work is not difficult.
It didn't take long for everyone to finish everything.
At this time, a ding-ding sound was heard from the observation room.
This means there is something going on around you.
Xiadaiti's voice came from above.
"Is there something behind us?"
Hearing this, everyone came to the stern of the ship.
After a while, an object was moving quickly on the sea.
However, it was not directly behind them, but diagonally behind them, at a considerable distance.
Even if he was getting closer to them, he would pass by them and had no intention of getting closer to them.
As the object's speed increased, everyone was finally able to see its full appearance.
"Fish?" Jason looked at the object with a telescope and couldn't help making a strange sound.
It was a creature that looked like a sea fish, but it was huge, about 90 to 100 meters long.
The overall color is light blue, and it is difficult to spot it unless it swims too fast or far away.
"No, that's a boat!" Alka had now turned into a crocodile frog.
A pair of huge eyes looked at the fish-like creature and said.
"Ship?" Julia's voice sounded a little surprised and she looked at Alka.
"But, that's a giant fish-like sea monster, right?"
Julia could clearly feel that the giant sea beast was alive, not just a fish-like ship.
She could still clearly feel whether it was a living creature.
While they were talking, the huge sea fish had already approached their side, and then moved forward quickly from a distance of about five or six hundred meters from them.
There was no stopping during the period, and the distance between him and Alka and the others was kept outside a safe range.
At this time, everyone could clearly see that there were patterns that looked like words engraved on the fish's body, and there was a flag on its back.
There were obviously some strange man-made facilities built on the fish's body, and people were coming and going on them.
It felt as if they had treated the fish like a horse, saddled it, and put room after room on the saddle.
In this way, fish are used to replace boats.
At the same time, they also saw that the people above were also wary of them.
"They are using a giant fish sea beast as a vehicle?" Porro looked at the scene, thought for a while and said.
Alka nodded, her mind returning to normal.
"Maybe that's what you said."
"How interesting! How did they do it?" Lucelia said with shining eyes.
Riding a fish across the ocean is an interesting thing the more I think about it.
And looking at the man-made facilities hanging above, they are just rooms connected by simple suspension bridges.
They even saw weapons on it.
Xia Daiti also slid down from the fish and asked everyone as soon as he came down: "Did you see it? Those people were on the fish's body. They even built something like a house on it."
Everyone nodded, indicating that they saw it clearly.
"So, this can be considered the characteristic of the Southern Storm Sea?" Alka couldn't help but ask.
After all, the South Storm is still the sea area of the God of the Sea, and when , they also made sure that the gate was open.
The appearance of such a ship at this time is likely to be the people coming out of the storm sea.
Hearing Alka's words, Simon said, "But they haven't come near. If they just came out and saw a strange ship, it's impossible for them not to come up to say hello or find out what's going on."
Hearing this, Alka asked himself, if it were him, he would not have just slid past without stopping at all.
"That's true."
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore. I'm leaving here soon, and I'll know when the time comes."
Everyone nodded, this was true.
At least no one else expressed any hostility.
And this method really makes them very curious.
Still chatting about the fish that just passed by them.
…
At this time, on the body of the huge sea fish that had just left, there was a room surrounding the fish head.
A woman with tattoos and wearing relatively cool clothes said, "Did you see whose ship we just passed by?"
One of the people standing next to him shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen a sign like that, I don't know who it belongs to."
They were obviously talking about Alka and his group.
"She didn't come out with us. I'm sure I didn't see the ship or the flag while I was waiting at the gate.
And I never got any intelligence on the ships at that time."
An unknown fishman said.
At this time, the human male sitting behind the desk spoke.
"Are you sure? Are you sure there's no such ship?"
"Of course, I am very sure that I did not remember it wrongly, nor did I see it wrongly." The fishman nodded and said, very confident in his words.
What he is responsible for here is intelligence-related matters, and he will definitely not make mistakes in this regard.
"Really..." the man sitting behind the desk repeated, and then the room fell silent as he was thinking.
And he is obviously the leader here.
At this time, the door was pushed open and another person walked in.
"What are you doing? Why are you so quiet?"
At this time, the leader asked, "Did you see the ship we just passed by?"
The man who had just come in shook his head when he heard this: "No, I was just checking the health of the big bluefish, but I heard the crew members discussing this outside."
"So a ship just passed us?"
"Yes." A member next to him nodded and said.
"Interesting." The person who just came in leaned against the wall and said with an amused expression.
"We are riding on the ocean with the help of big blue fish. How could there be a ship that can travel faster than us? You look like you have never seen that ship, right?"
The fishman who had just spoken nodded and said, "Yes, I have never seen that ship."
Hearing this answer, the man nodded.
"It's a ship we've never seen before, but it happened to be ahead of us, which means it didn't come out of our sea area with us, right?"
Everyone nodded, and they all had similar ideas.
"Then what else is there to guess? Either they are people living outside here, or they are people from other seas."
The man spread his hands and said.
Of course, he obviously felt that this person came from other sea areas.
Everyone here knows that the only intelligent race living outside is the gate-guarding Naga.
"Are there really other sea areas?" the person next to him asked with a serious expression.
Although rumors from the outside world have always been circulating in their waters.
To them, the existence of the Endless Sea is no secret, but the specific information related to the Endless Sea is a secret.
Because this is a road of no return.
This led to a lot of rumors, but when they really looked into them, they found that most of them were rumors and there was very little real information.
Other seas and other gods are also part of the rumors.
Obviously the church is the one that knows the outside world best.
But they are not members of the church.
"Why don't you believe me?" the man turned around and asked, then chuckled and said, "Didn't I tell you that you don't know as much about the outside world as I do?"
The people in this room are the team’s confidants.
Everyone knows the situation of the man in front of him. When he was a child, he picked up a navigation diary from the outside world on an abandoned ship.
Through the records in his diary, he learned a lot of information about the outside world.
And as they truly prepared to go to the outside world, many of his records were confirmed.
"I once read in a diary that the map of the world is semicircular, like a crescent moon.
The entrance to the Infinite Ocean is just ahead, and we will arrive there in a few days, so we must be the people living at the bottom.
The diary said that it took him more than three months to reach the Infinite Ocean. "
At this time, there was a knocking sound on the table and everyone turned to look.
The leader sitting behind the table said, "Okay, there's nothing to worry about. In a few days we will reach the gate to the Infinite Sea. Once we leave the Infinite Sea, we will know everything."
As he finished speaking, everyone shut up.
"Now, let's discuss other matters."
This was just a small episode. He was just curious about the identity of the ship, so he asked these questions.
Since it has been confirmed that they are people from other sea areas, there is nothing to worry about.
A huge blue sea fish was swimming in the sea water, with its upper body floating above the sea surface.
And on this half of the body, there was a huge thing that looked like a horse's saddle.
There are rooms hanging around and on the back of this saddle-like object, as well as simple roads built on it.
The members of this team walk back and forth on this simple suspension bridge, and they live on the backs of fish.
That's all there is to this ship.
