Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 260: Supernatural disasters
In this fantastic and mysterious sea of this extraordinary world, risks are everywhere.
In addition to the climatic extreme weather phenomena such as tsunamis and storms, there are many weird disasters that are unique to this world, and they can be called "extraordinary natural disasters."
"Black Dyke", "Blue Hole", and "Broken Wave" are the typical representatives.
From the time humans walked out of the coastal waters and began to sail far away, their threats to surface ships and seafarers have always existed.
Destructive power and danger are inseparable from Xuan Zhen!
Among them, the "broken head wave" is the easiest to understand, and the wizards have the most abundant research materials on it.
Obviously, in the study of such dangerous natural disasters, wizards who possess both power and spirit of knowledge have much more advantages than pure scholars.
The "broken head wave" is plainly in the deep sea, and the sudden peaks and valleys are far beyond the strange waves of the same kind.
It is said that the largest "broken wave" ever witnessed, the height difference is close to 40 meters!
You must know that even in the wind wave height comparison table compiled by the Iron Cross Church of the "Goddess of Kingship and the Sailing", the wave height caused by a Category 2 hurricane with a maximum of 37 meters per second is only 5 meters.
It is conceivable that the "decapitation wave" can really be decapitated!
Even if it is the most powerful battleship of the first class representing the secular world of mankind, if it encounters such a "broken wave" in the open sea, it will be easily broken like a weak straw.
Then he was sent a one-way ticket to the bottom of the sea by the deep trough of "Broken Head Wave" and completely disappeared into the sea.
is clean and will not leave even the smallest ship board!
The principle of "Blue Hole" is that even the knowledgeable wizards of various universities are a little bit uncertain.
Through year-round observation and collection of historical data, it can only be determined that its weird effect is: random teleportation!
A blue water hole with a diameter ranging from several kilometers to tens of kilometers appeared without warning on the calm sea, and then all the sea water, fish and shrimp, algae... even passing ships in this area, Will be randomly teleported to another place by magical power.
may be another sea area, it may be on land, or even the sky.
Eighty years ago, the southern colony of the Kingdom of Falitis reported a ship crash from the sky. Although it caused a heavy loss to a plantation, fortunately there were no casualties.
Of course, if you don’t count the original crew on the ship...
More "blue hole" victims disappeared without a trace, and never appeared in front of the world again.
Some people have speculated that the destination of the "Blue Hole" may be more likely to be on the bottom of the deep sea, or even... another world!
This is also the main reason why no powerful wizard dared to enter the blue hole and try it out for himself.
"Black Dyke" may not be as harmful as the former two, but its impact on the world is even more far-reaching!
because it has a direct connection with the famous "Shadow World".
"Shadow World" is a fantasy world that coexists with and parallels the material world of human life. It is a dark realm glowing with gloom, which can be understood as a projection of the material world.
There are also mountains, rivers, continents, oceans and even various human urban buildings in this world.
But everything in it is distorted, full of contrasts of black and white, and the colors are monotonous, which is a place that normal humans don't want to stay for long.
The so-called "black dike" is a peculiar phenomenon that occurs when the "shadow world" and the material world overlap at a certain moment.
In most cases, things that exist in the shadow world will appear randomly in this world!
Of course, if a barren area in the shadow world manifests in an inaccessible place in the material world, of course it won’t have any effect.
As long as the world separates over a period of time, the "black embankment" will naturally disappear.
But if a nest of powerful shadow world creatures becomes a "black bank" and descends on a prosperous city of mankind, it must be a terrible disaster no less than the invasion of evil gods!
However, this time Aiwen and the others had bad luck, but they weren’t terribly bad.
First of all, what they encountered was not the expected "Mother of the Sea Monster" to kill chickens.
Secondly, the scale of the "black dike" that appeared this time is not too large, but a circular island reef formed by two reefs.
The radius of the island reef is about seven kilometers, the middle is low and the surrounding is high. It just so happens that the "horn of storm" that hasn't dodged in time surrounds the lagoon in the middle.
There are even gaps in each of the north and south directions that communicate with the outside sea, but they are too thin and too shallow to allow the "Storm Horn" to pass through.
Fortunately in misfortune, from the "surface" it seems that there are no large shadow creatures on the reef that sneaked over, or that there was no shadow of any shadow creature.
Besides being trapped and unable to move, "Storm Horn" is not dangerous for the time being.
the other way around.
If you are unlucky, this time it happened to hit a large-scale "Black Embankment" invasion.
It is possible that just the tsunami caused by the overlap of the territories can cause the "Storm Horn" to be buried directly in the sea, not to mention the powerful alien creatures that entered the material world together with the "Black Dyke".
"Aven, in the information I have learned before, the time of the existence of the ‘black dike’ is uncertain.
is possible from a few hours to a few years, the smaller the scale, the faster it will disappear.
A ‘black dike’ of this size, I think the duration may be between half a day and two days. Do you think we have to wait for it to disappear naturally, or go up and take a look? "
Since it was certain that they would not be trapped forever, Milan began to feel a little eager to try.
The more big events I personally experience, the faster my "prophet" ability improves. A small probability event like "Hei Dike" can be hit by oneself. It would be a waste of this rare opportunity if it weren't for going up and looking at it.
did not answer Milan directly.
嗖! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...
A group of needle-tailed Swifts have been shot out under the command of Ivan, and lined up to conduct a dragnet-style reconnaissance on this small island that suddenly appeared.
The three armies have not moved the intelligence first!
The islands are not too large, and the terrain is not complicated. A group of pin-tailed Swifts conduct reconnaissance from the air very fast.
feedback quickly passed to Aiwen’s heart: ‘There is no shadow of any animal, safe! ’
The island is safe at least from the perspective of seabirds.
As for whether there is something hidden in the fine crevices of the underground or the rocks, they are really powerless with their abilities. This is also the defect that Ivan is planning to improve in the next step.
In fact, "Galliott Ornithology 3.0" was already on the agenda when it was passed on by the "Living Chemistry School".
just wants to achieve the effect that Ivan expected, and his current apprentice-level spellcasting ability is still a bit short.
The transformation design has been completed, just wait for yourself to break through the official wizard, you can officially start!
"Go, Milan and Gary will follow me up, and the others will stay at the Horn of Storm.
Level 2 alert! The gunner is ready to support at any time! "
Passive waiting has never been Aiwen’s style. Even if you don’t do anything, you have to wait for a day or so. It's better to go to this island to find out.
Even if there is any danger, it is better to be detonated when all personnel are on high alert than to be stolen from the tower unknowingly.
So, Ivan raised the alert level of "Storm Horn" before setting off, just in case.
"Observe your command, the captain! The gunner is in place!"
The three of them traveled together. Ivan didn't use [jumping] for convenience anymore, but honestly put down a long boat and rowed to the shallows nearest to "Cape Storm".
咚——
Soon, the longboat was directly drawn onto a pure black beach, and the bottom of the longboat lightly hit a rock and stopped completely.
Gary alone drags the longboat to the shore like a leaf to prevent it from being swept away by the sea.
"Vigilant formation, let's go!"
This time I replaced it with a full-body heavy armored Garry top at the forefront. This is a high-level item from the "Alchemy School" branch of "Alchemy Equipment and Enchanting Engineering".
In addition to being absolutely hard, the biggest advantage is... floating on the water!
At this time~IndoMTL.com~Iwen finally got his wish as a noble caster.
Although, the actual combat witchcraft he can use as a spellcaster can be counted with two fingers...
Squeak! Squeak!
A group of people moved forward slowly.
Although all the gravel under their feet is almost non-reflective black, it is rare in the material world.
But apart from the fact that the color is similar to ordinary volcanic rock, there is no need to think about holding a stone from another world to exchange for gold.
Not far from the place where they landed, some weird plants like mangroves grew, half submerged in the sea, and the trees grew long like black and purple long eggplant fruits.
As a "biologist" who is just starting out, Irving is of course very interested in plants in this different world.
Although there has never been an introduction to this plant in the occult books he has read before, it does not prevent him from using his experience and the spiritual sense of being a "living chemistry school" wizard to pick some that are fully mature. Long eggplant-like fruit.
By the way, I also took a little black sand as a sample.
As for the microorganisms, viruses, etc. from another world that some people may be worried about, Aiwen said that he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
The natural phenomenon of "black dike" has not known how many years it has existed in this world. Over the years, a certain delicate ecological balance may have been reached between the two worlds.
Nature’s ability to regulate is actually much more tenacious than human imagination.
Maybe this kind of plant in my hand was countless years ago, but it may actually be the aborigines of the material world.
