Chapter 351 Conjectures about the Blank Era [5K]
Not far away on the sea level, the battle between the young captain and three fifth-level powerhouses was still going on fiercely.
I saw the faces of these four fifth-level strong men with murderous intent. They were constantly using powerful killing moves that could split mountains and rocks, making the surroundings full of lightning flashes and howling winds.
During the collision of vast energies, waves of deafening noises were emitted, and huge waves were set off on the sea surface, one layer above the other.
The aftermath of the huge waves crashed against the sides of the ship, and the salty sea water continued to surge onto the open deck where everyone was sitting. There was a wet scene everywhere.
For a moment, the sky changed color and the sea was rough. The scene was very shocking.
However, just as the four people were fighting fiercely.
Without any warning, the young God's Chosen Son and the three fifth-level powerhouses suddenly stopped moving in unison. A pair of extremely sharp eyes suddenly looked at the distant sky, apparently sensing something.
The other illusions on the ship also quickly reacted and all looked in the same direction.
In just a moment, everyone's faces, including the young Son of God's Choice and the three powerful fifth-level experts, changed from initial disbelief to uncontrollable horror.
The next second, the huge wave, which was more than a hundred times more powerful than before, swept over madly with lightning speed!
The three giant ships from the opposing camp were immediately torn into pieces by the roaring giant waves, and were instantly annihilated in the surging water.
For a moment, the whole scene seemed like the end of the world was coming.
The sudden huge wave brought an unstoppable overwhelming force.
Without any suspense, he devoured four unprepared fifth-level powerhouses, and then frantically approached the three-masted giant ship where everyone was.
The roar of the huge waves, the frightened screams of the surrounding phantoms, the shattering sound of the wooden hull being torn apart... everything came to an abrupt end in an instant.
As a dazzling light flashed before their eyes, everyone returned to the dark and damp underground cave.
Because of all this, it happened in a flash of lightning.
After a long while, looking at the faint fluorescence emitted by the magic moss around him and the hull that had become mottled again, Lei Xiao finally came to his senses. Ye Cang and others around him also looked at each other with lingering fears. With.
As for Qin Qian and the other four lords, except for herself who could barely remain standing, the remaining three people, Feng Ling, Jiang Hao and Pan Zhi, had already fallen down on the deck, still with frightened expressions on their faces, and kept mouthing. Panting.
Looking at the panic-stricken faces of the other lords, Lei Xiao, who was also in a state of shock, couldn't help but take a deep breath and try his best to calm down his throbbing mind.
The sudden huge wave that seemed to be able to swallow everything was undoubtedly far beyond everyone's imagination.
"I remember that when I first visited the Elf ruins, I once heard Jiang Li say that the only thing that can be confirmed about the blank era three thousand years ago is that large-scale wars and disasters occurred."
"These two points are the reason why many ancient cities were completely reduced to ruins. Of course, these are not only human races, but also many races such as elves, dwarves, and winged humans."
Looking at the mottled giant ship from three thousand years ago under his feet, Lei Xiao pondered in his heart: "It can be seen that, if it is not what I expected, the last moments of this ship are likely to have encountered such a thing. Disaster."
Recalling the shocking scene just now, Lei Xiao, who suddenly felt his scalp numb, walked slowly to the round rudder that had become dilapidated again, and continued to ponder.
"In addition, in the blank era, the chosen sons of the gods of various races disappeared, and Wang Xi speculated that after the blank era, for some unknown reason, the gods no longer favored this world..."
"It is easy to conclude that there was probably a full-scale war between all races and gods."
"In the end, the angry gods sent down divine punishment, which led to the destruction of many majestic cities of all races and the disappearance of the chosen son of God."
Gently stroking the mottled wooden texture on the ancient rudder, Lei Xiao continued to think.
"But if this is really the case, then a new problem will arise."
"Since all races have suffered divine punishment, the gods should alert all races and let all races remember this lesson. Why is there a strange historical gap period, the so-called blank era, where all races forget everything? ”
"This puzzling approach is obviously against common sense."
Feeling the rough and wet touch on the mottled and partially covered rudder of the ship with magic moss, Lei Xiao frowned and fell into deep thought again.
"The most important thing is, how should we explain the crossing of one billion lords from other worlds? By the way, there are also the catastrophes that may occur in the future..."
Puzzled, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly and continued in his heart: "It is not difficult to see from this that this matter is obviously far from being as simple as I imagined. There must be more hidden things in it. A well-known secret.”
"If my prediction is correct, whether it is the blank era three thousand years ago, the no longer favoring the gods, the disappearance of the chosen son of God, Wang Xi's first time travel more than six hundred years ago, or now, the arrival of our billion lords , the catastrophe that is about to happen in the future..."
"All of this must have some potential connection."
Lei Xiao took another deep breath and focused his attention on the giant ship in front of him again.
"Judging from the situation in the illusion just now, at the last moment when the illusion ended, this giant ship should have been shattered by the huge waves. How could it be intact and have nothing to do with the sea? here?”
"Or, as I speculated before, there were really powerful space magic experts on the ship at that time, who teleported the entire giant ship to other places in times of crisis?"
"...That's all, it's better to seize the time now and take the next step. We'll talk about other things later."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao's frown relaxed again.
I saw him taking steps, stepping on the creaking open-air deck, and saying to the people around him who had just recovered from the shock: "Okay, everyone, cheer up, let's Explore the cabins of this giant ship. ”
"Yes! Lord!"
Huzhang, Ye Cang and other subordinates who had been on alert immediately bowed and saluted.
Qin Qian and others, who were still a little frightened, also responded one after another, and then followed.
After easily opening the entrance to the cabin below, following the footsteps of Huzhang and Ye Cang, Lei Xiao, holding a light crystal, entered the interior of the giant ship.
Following the sturdy wooden stairs and entering the dimly lit cabin, a strong musty smell immediately entered Lei Xiao's nose.
After sniffing his dry nose, Lei Xiao noticed it through the light of the light crystal.
The first thing that caught his eye was not the narrow corridor or the dense cabin layout, but still the spacious space on the first floor.
In this vast space, 10 magic cannons were lined up on the left and right sides near the ship's side, completely covered with dust.
The front ends of these magic cannons all extend out of the ship's side through special windows, and are arranged very neatly. From a layout point of view, they are almost exactly the same as the open-air deck on the upper level.
"Lord, this is the second magic gun deck."
Ye Cang put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "After checking the appearance of this giant ship at the beginning, my subordinates discovered that this giant ship has a total of three magic cannon decks."
"They are the first magic cannon deck, which is the open-air deck just now, the second magic cannon deck where we are currently, and the third magic cannon deck below."
Ye Cang still maintained a respectful posture and continued: "And below is the ballast tank at the bottom."
"That's it."
After listening to Ye Cang's introduction, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately ordered everyone to unfix these magic cannons and put them all into the [Eye of Dawn].
So far, there are 40 second-order fire-type magic cannons waiting to be repaired in this storage ring.
"Lord, according to the design style of this huge ship, the main cabins should be concentrated at the bow."
Ye Cang's elegant voice rang in Lei Xiao's ears again.
"I understand, let's move on."
After clearing all the magic cannons here, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to walk forward under Ye Cang's guidance.
Not long after, the group arrived at the front half of the second magic cannon deck.
Here, there are indeed many large and small cabins.
After careful observation, I saw that most of these cabins were open and there was nothing special about them.
After some searching, Lei Xiao found out.
Most of these cabins are ordinary sailor dormitories. Among them, a large number of magic oak double beds are still as solid as ever, and even personal items such as furs spread on them can be vaguely recognized.
As for the ground, there were some rusty metal water cups and empty wooden barrels scattered around.
At first glance, the atmosphere of life is very strong, just like the sailors on the ship, it seems that they will come back, but everywhere is covered with a thick layer of dust. Apart from this, no other valuable items were found.
After that, everyone came to a cabin that was obviously a kitchen. In this cabin, it could be observed.
On the stove made of stone, there was a huge metal pot. When the dusty and mottled lid was lifted, a black unknown object was stuck to the pot wall, as well as a completely rusted metal spoon.
Most of the surrounding storage barrels and lockers also have a layer of black like this.
"Lord, these black objects are completely rotten food residues."
After carefully examining it for a moment, Huzhang took a step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and said: "What's in the iron pot is even a pot of stew whose original appearance has long been lost."
"That's it."
Looking at the dark residue in the cauldron, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
After such a long time, such a complete change is indeed common sense.
"Brother Shachen, have you discovered a problem?"
Qin Qian's delicate face was full of doubts, and she said, "We didn't find even a single corpse along the way."
"Captain Qin Qian, isn't this a normal thing?"
Jiang Hao shook his head and said in confusion: "Back then, the people on the ship must have left because of some emergency, leaving this huge ship here alone."
"However, not a single personal item is missing in these cabins, and food is still cooking on the pot. This makes people suspicious."
Qin Qian frowned and spoke again.
"That's true."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully. Naturally, he had already noticed this.
However, as Jiang Hao said, at this stage, there is really no reasonable speculation except that the sailors on the ship left in a hurry and had no time to carry their personal belongings.
"Judging from the current situation, there is only one possible explanation."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then concluded: "That was three thousand years ago, after encountering that sudden huge wave, someone on this ship used some kind of powerful teleportation magic in order to avoid the disaster, or It was the corresponding high-level magic scroll that teleported the entire giant ship to other places, and then to this underground cave.”
Nodding to everyone, Lei Xiao continued: "In the end, the people on the ship had to choose to abandon the ship and leave due to some emergency. This led to the current situation."
"Your Lordship is right."
Ye Cang frowned and thought for a moment, then bowed and said: "This is indeed the most reasonable speculation."
"Okay, let's continue the search."
Lei Xiao half-raised the light crystal in his hand and took his own steps again.
After careful investigation, the group found no other new discoveries on this floor.
He quickly passed through the nearby stairs and arrived at the third magic gun deck below.
In the front half of the third magic gun deck, in addition to the same layout as the previous floor, Lei Xiao and others also discovered a new large cabin.
Entering it, Lei Xiao noticed.
This cabin can be said to be extremely spacious, covering more than a hundred square meters, but its layout is extremely simple.
There are only two large translucent crystals embedded in the bulkhead of the cabin near the ship's side.
I saw that these two large crystal stones were one meter square in size and were in the shape of a perfect cube.
Under the light of the light crystal, even though the surface is covered with a layer of dust, it still gives people a crystal clear feeling, which cannot block its original brilliance at all.
On the surface of the crystal, you can vaguely see that it is engraved with strange magical patterns composed of various lines, which looks quite magical.
"It turns out to be this kind of thing!"
Upon seeing this, Lei Xiao's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
This kind of translucent crystal stone is naturally familiar to him.
It was the enchantment crystal that was found in a cave in the old mining area of Gelin City together with Su Ru, Su Mo, Sun Qi and other five lords!
At that time, Lei Xiao found two pieces in total.
Among them, there is an unknown barrier that stores an unknown race. Only powerful magicians with the bloodline of the corresponding race can activate it.
The other piece is brand new and vacant, and can also store a new enchantment for future use.
"As we all know, building various functional magic barriers is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive matter."
"This can be seen from the previous situation of the Magician Squadron building the "Eye of Insight". ”
"And this kind of enchantment crystal, which can directly unfold a predetermined magic enchantment as long as the corresponding magic power is injected into it, is undoubtedly an extremely convenient item!"
Thinking of this, the joy on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious.
"Lord, it seems that this is the magic shield cabin of this giant ship."
Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "At the beginning of the battle, a large number of powerful magicians will be gathered here to give two barrier crystals and supply magic power at the same time."
"That's it."
Lei Xiao nodded, walked forward, and murmured to himself: "So, these two enchantment crystals store the kind of magic that I saw in the illusion just now. A powerful defensive barrier for the cannon? ”
When he got closer, Lei Xiao opened the attribute column of one of the barrier crystals while feeling delighted.
【Name: Barrier Crystal】
[Resource level: Level 4 (rare)]
[Specifications: 100cm*100cm*100cm]
【Purity: Grade A+】
【Storage Barrier: Wall of Fortress】
[Remarks: This is a barrier crystal of excellent purity, installed on the flagship of a certain legendary human sea overlord.
Among them, there is stored an efficient defensive magic barrier, which can block all physical and magical attacks from external enemies at the same time if the magic power is sufficient, without affecting the counterattack of our own personnel inside the barrier.
Only human magic powerhouses can activate and use it, and at least 100 second-level magic powerhouses, or powerhouses of the same strength, are required to supply energy at the same time to maintain the normal operation of the barrier. 】
"The two pieces are almost identical. Are the stored barriers called "Fortress Walls"? ”
Rubbing his hands together excitedly, Lei Xiao secretly jumped for joy in his heart.
"In this way, as long as it is placed in the territory, once a foreign enemy invades, it will undoubtedly play a huge role! Let's go back and study the specific effective range."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Two enchantment crystals of the same size have been carefully taken out by the knotweed.
Moreover, the maid Aling, who carried cleaning utensils with her, wiped it with a special magic rag and made it sparkling again.
After receiving the storage ring given by Lei Xiao, the subordinates naturally packed in many commonly used personal items.
“Very good.”
Nodding to the two of them, Lei Xiao casually put the two enchantment crystals into the space bracelet.
Seeing this scene, Qin Qian and the other four lords did not express any opinions.
Just now, although they also checked the attribute column of the enchantment crystal.
But at this stage, the magic experts under their command can only be described as extremely scarce.
Not to mention a hundred second-level magic experts, even recruiting one more first-level magician is a very rare thing.
Therefore, this kind of thing is naturally useless to them.
It's better to ask Mr. Sha Chen later if he can exchange for some useful equipment.
Blinking her long eyelashes, Qin Qian looked at Lei Xiao who was not far away with a look of joy on her face, and swallowed involuntarily.
Judging from the excited expression of Mr. Shachen, he has obviously reached this condition that people look up to...
After everything was sorted out, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said to everyone: "Then, let us continue to see if there are any other good things on this giant ship." (End of Chapter)
