Thinking of the efficacy of Bolo algae, Chen Ziyan felt that Hu Bayi's judgment made sense.
As long as the things in the sea have no reason to attack them, then this protection is enough to 'block' the opponent.
After all, no one would jump into it happily when they see a quagmire in front of them.
Although bald algae is just a kind of plant, in the eyes of sea creatures, it is probably not as clean as a mire, so it is normal to avoid it.
This made Chen Ziyan change his previous thoughts. His original plan was to leave the fishing boat decisively after moving the supplies on the fishing boat.
After all, no matter how fast the things in the sea are, they can't catch up with the moving ships.
This has been verified during the last trip to the Undersea Tomb.
But now the situation has changed. If the Bulu algae barrier really works, it is not appropriate to move rashly at this time.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan asked: "Did that person explain how to disperse this fog?"
Since this fog is the starting point chosen by the opponent, there should be a way to deal with it.
"It can't be dispelled. We can only wait for dawn. As long as the sun comes out, the fog will disappear by itself." Hu Bayi shook his head and said.
Naturally, he would not forget this matter, but the news he received was not very good.
It was precisely because of this that he advised Chen Ziyan not to act rashly for the time being.
Because if the fog cannot be dispelled, they can only wait for the sun to rise. If they provoke things in the sea, they can no longer stop.
The amount of energy and resources spent during this period is still a trivial matter. The main reason is that something is obviously wrong with this sea area. If other dangerous things are provoked as a result, it will be more trouble.
Maybe the situation then would be worse than facing the creatures attacking the fishing boat.
After Hu Bayi expressed his thoughts, Chen Ziyan nodded slightly.
This concern is not without reason!
This sea area is indeed strange. Not only is there a fog that cannot be gotten out, but there are also plague ships and unknown creatures in the sea. There may also be other sea beasts.
After all, even if it is just one area, the ecological chain should not be so thin.
"Then just wait and see what happens." Chen Ziyan quickly adopted Hu Bayi's suggestion.
Time passed little by little, and the previous storm subsided completely, but the Trident remained safe and sound and did not receive any attacks.
This undoubtedly proves that Hu Bayi's guess is correct, and the algae does play a role.
Chen Ziyan secretly kept this in mind. If he encounters a job at sea again in the future, he will have to prepare more of these things.
"Master Chen, it's almost dawn!"
When wisps of morning light filtered through the dim sky and fell on the foggy sea, Wang Kaixuan immediately exclaimed and reminded.
Naturally, Chen Ziyan had also seen this scene. He did not immediately reply to Wang Kaixuan, but first shouted towards the cab: "Master Ruan, be ready!"
If the information from Hu Bayi's interrogation is correct, they will be able to set sail again soon.
As the color of the sky brightens, the density of the surrounding fog begins to weaken, and the range of visibility expands.
It was only a dozen meters at first, but soon expanded to dozens of meters. By the time the sun loomed in the sky, the visibility had reached several hundred meters away.
Although looking into the distance, the sea is still foggy, but this visibility no longer poses a threat to navigation.
But at this moment, drops of water fell from the sky, and Chen Ziyan thought it was raining at first.
After all, on the sea where water vapor is extremely dense, wind and rain are always inevitable.
But when he looked up, he immediately stopped thinking so.
Because in addition to scattered water drops in the sky, there were also more sea fish of different shapes, which immediately aroused Chen Ziyan's vigilance.
After all, so many fish appeared out of thin air, and no matter how you looked at them, there was something abnormal about them.
But before he could think about it, the fish in the air fell to the ground, and for a moment it felt like a heavy rain fell on the sea.
Fortunately, everything is a blessing and a blessing. The falling "showers" composed of sea fish and water vapor, although it brought a little shock, also made the surrounding fog disperse a little faster.
But the next moment, Shirley Yang's voice sounded: "No, everyone, get into the cabin quickly!"
Chen Ziyan subconsciously looked back and saw that in another direction, a huge wave that covered the sky and the sun was pressing towards them, and it was about to reach them.
The Trident was like a solitary leaf in front of this wall of water that seemed like a giant screen connecting the sky.
From this angle, the newly appeared skylight was completely blocked by the huge waves, and the Trident seemed to be in a dark abyss under the sea.
Everyone was stunned by this horrifying sight, but they were all people with good psychological quality, so they quickly recovered and quickly ran towards the cabin according to Shirley Yang's words.
I don't know if the Trident can withstand a wave of this magnitude, but if they continue to stay on the deck, even Chen Ziyan dare not say that he will be safe.
It is more likely that it will be swept into the sea by the irresistible impact, and then it will be really doomed.
Fortunately, they were discovered in time, so everyone successfully entered the cabin before the huge waves hit them.
Boom——
Although Ruan Hei in the cab turned the steering wheel frantically, he was unable to completely avoid the oncoming waves.
However, it was not without success. Thanks to his efforts, the Trident was only affected by the edge of the huge wave, and was not directly hit by this powerful and powerful wave.
But even so, at that moment the whole ship was shaking, as if someone had put it into a washing machine.
"Could this be a tsunami?" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but said, holding a pillar in the cabin and looking at the horrific scene outside.
"This is not a wave, it's a dragon on the water!" However, as soon as he finished his words, he was overruled by Duo Ling.
"Dragon Shangshui? Could it be the Shangshui Dragon that made Haike change his face when he heard about it?" Hu Bayi seemed to have remembered something and asked quickly.
Duo Ling nodded with lingering fear: "That's right."
"Old Hu, what is the water dragon?" Hearing this, Wang Kaixuan was impatient and curious, and looked at Hu Bayi and asked.
Everyone else was the same, casting doubtful glances at him.
Hu Bayi recalled for a while and said slowly: "The dragon on the water is also called the dragon on the water or the dragon on the water. I have only heard of its name before, but this phenomenon is one of the recognized natural disasters at sea. There are different opinions on the specific reasons, and there is no unified one. Explanation, the most scientific way It is because of the imbalance of air pressure at sea that water vapor on the seabed surges out of the sea and interacts with the low air pressure, resulting in a giant water column that looks like a dragon emerging from the water. The huge wave we encountered should be an appendage of the water column coming out of the sea. "< br>
Then he told everyone that if unfortunately it landed in the center of Longshang Water, they would probably not be able to react, and the boat and people would have been thrown into the sky.
"My dear, it's already at this level, and it's just an accessory." Hearing this, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but be speechless.
It was hard for him to imagine what a real dragon out of water looked like.
Chen Ziyan had similar thoughts, but he noticed that Hu Bayi's words seemed to have reservations, so he asked: "What if it is an unscientific statement?" He knew that although Hu Bayi believed in science, he had been studying Qimen Feng Shui for many years. As a skilled man, this belief is not very firm.
It is not difficult to tell from what he just said that this guy must have another excuse.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Hu Bayi was not surprised and said calmly:
"There is indeed another theory. According to the Feng Shui tradition, it is believed that the three remaining veins of the Nanlong originating from Mount Emei merge and condense on the seabed after entering the sea. This location happens to be near the coral spiral sea area, so this sea area can be regarded as Where sea air surges, just like submarine earthquake-prone areas, unusual phenomena in the sea such as "water dragons" will appear frequently. ”
"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded silently.
He feels that both statements are reasonable and have similarities.
But a few seconds later, Chen Ziyan changed his mind and believed that the theory of dragon veins was more reliable.
Because through the cabin window, he saw not only a water column reaching the sky between the sky and the sea, but dozens of giant water columns rushing out of the sea, setting off huge waves.
The scene seemed like seawater pouring into the sky, and the shock was beyond description in words.
At least everyone on the Trident was looking at the sight of the turbid waves in the distance and was in a daze.
But they soon came to their senses. It wasn't because of how strong everyone's will was, but because after a brief moment in the air, the Trident returned to the sea.
At this moment, the Trident's front, back, left, right, and even the top of its head were occupied by sea water, and it was impossible to continue losing consciousness.
As soon as Chen Ziyan came back to his senses, he began to observe the surrounding situation, especially the sky above his head.
Because the dragon ascended to the water, there were not only sea beasts in the sky at this moment, but also the boulders and sand on the seabed, as well as the sunken ancient trees, were all swept up.
Now these things will pose a threat to the Trident below.
Especially those sunken shipwrecks. Once they are hit by them, even the Trident is a ghost ship and cannot withstand it.
Fortunately, Ruan Hei's skills were still very reliable. Although some corpses fell on their heads, he dodged them in time.
And during this process, Ruan Hei did not just avoid it, but took the opportunity to sail the ship away from this dangerous area.
Speaking of which, we have to thank those giant water pillars. If it weren't for the appearance of these water pillars, it would probably take some time for the fog shrouding the area to completely dissipate.
After arriving at the calm sea, Chen Ziyan looked at the dozens of sky-reaching water pillars that were still clearly visible behind him, and finally felt relieved.
Although his skills are far superior to ordinary people now, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid of the scene just now.
But not long after they were out of danger, they encountered new changes. Perhaps because of those towering water columns, the moisture content in the air in this area increased sharply.
Not long after Chen Ziyan and the others left, the clear sky turned gloomy, and soon it became a heavy rain, and the continuous rain curtain connected the sea and the sky together again.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the strong wind and waves rising again, Wang Kaixuan, an impatient man, couldn't help but complain.
His heart had just slowed down, and now it was about to beat again.
"It should be a chain reaction." Chen Ziyan said lightly.
He didn't feel surprised. It would be really strange if nothing happened during such a big battle just now.
And compared to the situation just now, the current heavy rain is not that dangerous, and it is completely within the range that the Trident can handle.
But the next moment, Chen Ziyan realized that he might be happy a little too early.
Because he saw a white coffin floating on the sea not far away. What's more important was that the color of the sea where they were located turned into ink at some point.
It was precisely for this reason that the white coffin was so conspicuous that Chen Ziyan saw it at a glance.
Seeing Chen Ziyan looking out the window, others looked over curiously, and then discovered that the ship was sailing on the inky black water.
Shirley Yang thought for a while and said: "I have heard people say before that there may be a large amount of coal and oil in the rock formations of the seabed abyss. It may be that the dragon water just brought these things up."
< br>
Everyone agrees with his statement because it is in line with common geographical knowledge.
Only Wang Kaixuan had some objections. He thought of the sea anecdotes he had heard from his elders, and said: "Maybe it was the water dragon that washed up the big cuttlefish hidden in the sea trough. It is said that one leg is long." It’s a hundred feet long and so big that if the ink from its belly flows out, it will easily blacken the entire sea area.”
Just when Chen Ziyan and the others were wondering why Wang Kaixuan thought of the giant cuttlefish at the bottom of the sea, they heard the fat man continue to say: "Let's wander around here a few more times to see if we can find the corpse of the giant cuttlefish. We can definitely sell it for a big price." .”
After hearing this, everyone still didn't understand that this fat man was doing his old habit again.
Then he ignored him and turned his attention to the coffin floating on the sea.
There is no way, the color of this coffin is too conspicuous here, it is difficult not to notice it.
But after looking around, no one offered to come over.
Because everyone knows in their hearts that there must be a monster when something goes wrong.
A white coffin suddenly appeared in the dark water. It was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
But sometimes, problems will come to you.
Just like now, Chen Ziyan and the others ignored the coffin and sailed towards the target area. However, as the ocean current surged, the white coffin moved closer to them little by little.
At first I could barely make out an outline, but soon it became clearer.
The coffin is rectangular in shape, and it looks like it should be made of stone, with a flat surface and sharp edges and corners. However, the size is a bit excessive, being two to three times the size of an ordinary sarcophagus.
From the coral polyps on the surface of the sarcophagus, it is easy to see that the coffin must have been on the seabed before, otherwise there would be no such traces.
Then Chen Ziyan noticed that there were several thick chains on the sarcophagus, tying the coffin to an unknown object below.
It is precisely because of the support below that the sarcophagus can always float on the sea.
Seeing that the sarcophagus seemed to depend on him and others, Chen Ziyan knew that hiding was useless, so he immediately changed his mind and planned to fish the thing out to see what happened.
He didn't think the things inside could threaten him.
I ignored it before because I didn't want to cause any trouble.
In fact, the people around him were already full of curiosity, but Chen Ziyan remained silent, so he didn't show it.
Seeing that he had finally made up his mind at this moment, he quickly started to take action.
Although the heavy rain is still falling, it does not prevent them from doing their work.
After the crane suspended the sarcophagus, I finally saw what was underneath.
It turned out to be a turtle skeleton, but the scale of the turtle skeleton was so huge that people couldn't even imagine it until they saw the whole picture clearly. (End of chapter)
