The wind element detector couldn't help but make a buzzing sound. Jita was wrapped in a blanket and stared at the direction of the crystal light in the dim environment. The dial of this simple detector had eight crystals. She looked at the one in the north. That one had not lit up for a long time, and there was not even a trace of background clutter.
Fang Plover's voice came from the sound transmission tube: "Jita, have we gotten rid of them?"
"It seems to have been thrown away." Jita glanced at the crystal again, "Brother Ed, there has been no movement in the north."
Fang Plover's voice of relief came from the other side of the microphone. Those Kaolin people chased them for two days and two nights, which made him almost think that they had gone crazy. Whenever he mentioned this matter to Sylvide, the latter smiled and said, it was about that time. The prime minister paid too much attention to her father.
However, he also thought privately that a hidden secret leading to the third world might indeed be worthy of such attention.
Luo Hao, who was outside, heard the conversation inside. At this time, he opened the curtain and walked in, interjecting: "Captain, if we get rid of the Kaolin people, I suggest that we stop for inspection. Before When I checked the pipe with the problem, the pressure inside was getting bigger and bigger, and I was worried something was wrong.”
"Okay," Fang Plover replied. In fact, even if it is not undergoing maintenance, the Seven Seas Traveler still has to find a place to rest. Because I was in a hurry when I left Tansnier, the upper deck has not been completely built yet. It is usually fine, but it will cause big problems if there is any bad weather.
However, there are timber and other materials prepared on the ship, and it will not take long to repair the deck.
Another point is that they also have to stop to look for supplies. There is still enough food on the ship for a week, but the water is really gone. They urgently needed to find a place to stop and find a source of drinkable, clean water.
"Wait another hour," Fang Plover looked at the clouds outside the window. "If there is no movement from the north after an hour, we will descend below the clouds first."
"No problem." Luo Hao responded over there.
An hour later, everything was still fine.
Xiang Xiang and Luo Yu got up, replacing Luo Hao and Jita who had been on duty for twelve hours. For the past forty-eight hours, they had been working in pairs to maintain the operation of the magic cabin.
On the sailing team, Baggins and Parker also changed classes with Big Catman and Pasha. In fact, the manpower of a team of two is far from enough to control the eleven sets of sails (including side sails) of the Seven Sea Traveler. , two longitudinal sails and six triangular sails, but this is only a last resort choice due to insufficient manpower.
And when the wind direction doesn’t change much, it’s still barely usable——
At this time, the Seven Seas Traveler began to slowly descend in altitude and passed through the cloud area.
Fang Yu also rubbed his eyebrows. He had not slept for almost twenty-four hours. Others could take turns, but he, the one giving orders, could not do it. Sylvide and Baggins can take over for him, but they have their own jobs after all.
After the sailboat broke through the clouds, the first priority was to figure out where they had arrived. Theoretically speaking, they sailed south for two days and two nights. If they did not deviate, they should have entered the range of the Misty Fjord.
That was the area they originally planned to choose as a shipbuilding site——
When the sailboat broke out of the clouds, Fang Plover found that his premonition was not too wrong.
Under the clouds, thick fog filled the air, like wisps of smoke. In the distance, only the outline of the cliff could be vaguely seen, and a steep rocky mountain was slowly passing under the Seven Seas Traveler.
The landform below is a typical Kongxia. "Sylvid," Fang Plover said, "help us determine the coordinates."
The ship officer lady was in front of a standing cabinet. After hearing his words, she turned around and nodded slightly, put a roll of maps in, closed the glass window, and walked back to the star tracker.
She observed the scale of the track erected above, then moved the horizontal track with her hand, and then picked up an instrument to measure it.
Tian Lan's voice came from the sound tube at this time: "Do you think we are so lucky that we just happened to drive to the place that Miss Sylvide mentioned before?"
But Fang Plover didn't expect their luck to be that good, otherwise the fjord that Sylvide said could be used as a site for a shipyard, which would be an excellent place to rest.
However, the Misty Fjord stretches from Durin in the east to Nognis in the south, covering an area nearly one-third the size of Istania. It is really difficult to sail to the right fjord in this area.
And the facts also shattered their illusions.
Sylvide straightened up from the star tracker. "We should be near D2340781 and D2350780. This place should be right in the middle of the Misty Fjord," she smiled. "It's quite far away from the place I mentioned."
In the speaking tube, Tian Lan let out a disappointed "Oh".
However, Fang Yu was not disappointed. This was a matter of course. He had no hope in the first place.
"Ed, this place is far away from the normal route," Sylvide looked at the star tracker and suddenly said, "Generally speaking, no ships will come here. It seems that we have deviated a lot."
"Is there any danger here?" Fang Yu asked.
Sylvide shook her head, "I don't know much about this place either."
She said softly: "There are generally two routes through the Misty Fjord, east and west. The one to the east goes north along the Misty Fjord, passes through the southern foot of the Crimson Mountains, and then enters the southern border of Kaolin. The one to the west goes directly to Hanrui. The open sea reaches Nognith."
Sylvide raised her head and looked at the heavy fog outside the window, and continued: "People know very little about the Misty Fjord. Generally, few people come here. In the past, this was a hiding place for pirates. Later, even the number of pirates gradually decreased. ”
Fang Plover frowned when he heard this. This place sounded like an inaccessible and unknown place, because it was too troublesome to take risks in the fog, and the misty fjord had no special output, so the caller was willing to Few people come here.
This kind of place should be circled on the map with a thick, red pen, and then marked with the word "danger". But there is nothing they can do at the moment. The Seven Seas Traveler has to find a place to dock and rest, even though it looks like there is a lot of trouble here.
"Let's move along the fjord first," he thought for a while and said, "retract the sails, slow down, and be careful not to hit the mountains. If we find a suitable place, we will stop to replenish our supplies."
All persons on duty shall be in the sounding tube.
After the sail was furled halfway, the speed of the Seven Seas Traveler slowed down. It would take some time for it to reach a height enough to see the land below clearly.
The lights in the kitchen turned on, and the orange light cast into the clouds. Miss Attila boiled water and prepared to cook. She had to prepare steaming food for two groups of people for twenty-four hours, and Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao all relied on their help.
Siesta brought hot drinks to the two people in the captain's room, and Fang Plover took it after thanking him. He was not idle at this time. He checked the information about the creatures in the Misty Fjord on the community, and found out that this place was due to There is no sunshine all year round, and the surface vegetation and biological communities are actually quite poor. Most of the flying creatures live here.
This made him frown even more. If flying creatures, wouldn't they also be a threat to the Seven Seas Traveler?
The horned lizard was crawling around on his desk, tilting its head and looking at him with dark eyes from time to time. Kitta placed its nest on the ceiling of the captain's room. This guest of the Seven Seas Brigade It was here that he settled down again.
And he has no intention of treating himself as an outsider.
Nini and Miss Goblin were on the other side of the desk. She was lying on a pile of books, showing her white fangs, staring nervously at the uninvited guest, threatening it with her eyes not to come near.
Tata fiddled with a bare page in front of him and quietly helped him check things in the community.
Fang Yu looked at the two little sisters. Everything that happened in the world not long ago seemed to have no impact on them. After Nini 'ate' Descartes' magical power, there seemed to be no change except that the flames she sprayed became brighter and her teeth and claws became more active.
The only change is that he can have some induction to his Cang Zhihui, but it is not as obvious as in Descartes' world. He planned to find a time to experiment, but he obviously didn't have the opportunity at the moment.
On the other hand, the abilities that Miss Tata displayed in the spiritual world at that time were naturally not something he could see again in the real world. But now that we have the Seven Seas Traveler, with the help of Fairy Heart, maybe Miss Tata can exert one-tenth of her abilities.
This also requires finding time to test it properly.
As if sensing his gaze, the elf lady turned around and looked at him calmly with her emerald green eyes: "Mr. Knight, do you need to inquire about anything else?"
"By the way," Fang Plover finally came back to his senses, "Please help me check the news on Istania. Are there any repercussions for our actions?"
Tata nodded quietly and turned back.
However, the search results are as expected. The information here should not have been sent back to Kaolin yet. People in Kaolin have not responded yet, and the community is also quiet.
But since he did that, he naturally expected the consequences. Sooner or later, Kaolin Kingdom would be wanted. The Super Competitive Alliance, because their previous negotiations broke down, might also come to trouble him.
He still had to explain to the Stargate Port that fortunately, his relationship with the military was probably the only consolation. Otherwise, he would not dare to make such a decision rashly.
In addition, the battle not long ago ended with Descartes' complete defeat. But according to Xing, when the world collapsed, most of the people who stayed in it would never come back.
This made him think of the people in the Dragon Fire Guild. If they never come back, where does that mean they went? Did he return to Earth, or disappear completely?
With this question in his mind, he couldn't help but want to ask someone from the military for confirmation. Of course - now was not the time.
After the Seven Seas Traveler parted the fog, the outline of the empty gorge below gradually became clearer.
This place is even more barren than imagined. There are only bare cliffs in the distance amid the heavy fog. The rocks are gray and form various shapes in the fog.
Those rocks with teeth and claws slowly retreated, silently, like a mime.
Fang Yu looked at everything outside the window. It was hard to imagine what supplies could be found in this place. However, the element detector on the ship detected a water element-rich area to the east. He thought there would be a river there.
He didn't dare to think about food. He just hoped to find a clean water source in that place.
He ordered the Seven Seas Traveler to adjust its course, but soon, they encountered the expected trouble——
That's an Arrow-tailed Hawk.
Tian Lan first saw this huge bird flying under the side of the Seven Seas Traveler on the watchtower. The little girl was so frightened that she kept screaming in the sound tube.
"I saw a big bird," she shouted in horror, "It, it, its wings are as big as a sail. Come out quickly, is it going to attack us!?"
When Fang Plover opened the door from the captain's cabin and came out, he saw Baggins looking up in one direction in the mist, and others were coming up from below the deck.
"An arrow-tailed buzzard." The experienced old sailor turned back and looked at the square plover and said.
Fang Plover knows that kind of creature - a giant raptor that preys on the sea and the sea. It is usually used to living in isolation and has a strong sense of territory. The adult level can reach level 27 or above, and can grow to one-third of the Seven Seas Traveler. With its size and high intelligence, it is a flying creature that is very threatening to sailboats.
He didn't expect that they were so lucky to encounter this thing right away.
At this time, the whistling wind came, and Fang Plover raised his head and saw the raptor flying past the Seven Seas Traveler. It flaps its huge wings and rolls up vortices, with a wingspan of at least twelve meters.
The giant bird flew over the sailboat, and its two iconic arrow tails disappeared into the mist in an instant. The air flow it brought up almost made the Seven Seas Traveler shake.
Fang Plover opened his mouth——
An adult Arrow-tailed Buzzard, and it seems to be larger than the ordinary Arrow-tailed Buzzard. I am afraid it is an elite individual.
"We have broken into its territory," Baggins said at this time: "Be careful, it may attack us next."
"What should we do?" Ai Xiaoxiao's voice was trembling. She didn't expect that there were so many dangers above the sea. The giant bird's fangs and claws frightened her. When she closed her eyes, she seemed to have seen herself being killed. Swallowed.
"Just shoot it down," Parker said carelessly: "Use a ballista. Don't we still have a ballista?"
But Fang Plover knew that this suggestion was purely a joke. The ballista could not keep up with the speed of the Arrow-tailed Hawk, and since the ballista was on the bow of the Seven Seas Traveler, the big bird would not easily enter the shooting range.
The fog is thick now, and it is difficult for the Seven Seas Traveler to keep up with the agility of an Arrow-tailed Buzzard. He glanced at the half-installed gun mount at the stern of the ship and thought that it would be great if the Magic Cannon from the Artisans Guild had been transported over, as it would come in handy right now.
Moreover, the batch of combat structures promised to them by Her Royal Highness the Princess also stayed in the Tansnir Artisans Association and came to nothing. They originally thought that they had sufficient funds at the moment, so these things would be in vain.
But I didn’t expect that before I arrived at the next port, I would encounter a situation where these things would be used——
He had used all the flexible structures he had in reserve in the previous battle, but now he couldn't find any means to fight. There were still some 'Silver Bees' left, but they posed no threat to this big bird. .
However, Fang Yu was still calm. He looked at the mast first and shouted: "Tianlan, come down first, be careful it may attack you."
He immediately said to Baggins and the box: "Mr. Baggins, you go up, one on the left and one on the right, wait for it to come over and see if it can try to attack -"
"No problem," Baggins was an old sailor after all. He responded, pulled out his scimitar, and climbed up the mast in three strokes.
Box also nodded silently, with a very indifferent look, and walked over, just looking up at the mast in a daze.
Tian Lan was so frightened that she was hiding in the watchtower. After hearing what Fang Yu said, she hurriedly responded, but she looked like she was about to cry, "How should I get down?"
Luo Yu, on the other hand, raised his head and said, "Tian Lan, you can just jump."
"Then I really jumped."
Tian Lan cringed out of the watchtower and looked down with a pale face, but she was still brave enough to close her eyes and jump out with all her strength.
But at this moment, with an eagle cry and a roar of wind, the huge raptor once again appeared from the side of the Seven Seas Traveler. It flapped its wings and swooped down towards the blue sky in mid-air.
Tianlan opened her eyes when she heard the sharp cry, and almost screamed in fright when she saw this scene: "Help!"
But Fang Plover had expected this scene, thinking that the cunningness of the Arrow-tailed Falcon was indeed well-deserved. At this moment, a gunshot was heard from behind him, firelight burst out, and a golden light crisscrossed the giant bird.
The arrow-tailed buzzard flapped its wings to avoid the shot——
It turned around in mid-air and looked down. Within its dark pupils, a very beautiful woman was holding a silver firearm. She was pulling the bolt, and a golden shell bounced down with smoke. .
But before it could make a decision to swoop down again to retaliate against the opponent, Baggins on the mast turned the scimitar back and bit it in his mouth, then with a forceful movement, he swooped down from mid-air.
Pounced on the back of the huge raptor.
The arrow-tailed buzzard obviously didn't expect that there was another person on top of the mast. It was shocked and turned over, trying to throw Baggins off its back in mid-air. But the boatswain grabbed its long feathers, took the scimitar from his mouth with his backhand, and was about to stab it.
The bright silver light reflected in the eyes of this flat-haired monster. At the last moment, it had an idea and slid sideways towards the mast. Even if Baggins slashed his head, the strange bird would probably pay for it - but if he hit the mast like this, he would probably be in danger.
"Mr. Baggins," Tian Lan fell slowly after Luo Yu cast a wind feather technique on her. She raised her head and saw this scene. She couldn't help but yell, "Get out of the way!"
Fang Plover also shouted: "Mr. Baggins, get out of the way!"
The boatswain turned around and had no choice but to give up the inevitable blow. He stretched out his hand, grabbed a cable that came across, swung it in mid-air, and landed back on the mast.
The arrow-tailed buzzard chirped triumphantly, looked back, and immediately prepared to turn around in mid-air, then extend its sharp claws to pounce on the boatswain. Arrow-tailed buzzards are extremely aggressive birds and have a strong sense of revenge.
But it was only halfway through turning when the box below suddenly shot under the first mast with an arrow. He drew out his rapier with his backhand, a flash of silver light flashed, and the cable tied there broke.
The sail that was rolled up in the air lowered with a roar, covering the Arrow-tailed Hawk head-on. No matter how cunning this big bird was, he never expected this scene and was caught on the spot.
Its wings were entangled in the sail, and it suddenly lost its balance, and actually hit the bow of the Seven Seas Traveler. The huge impact almost caused the sailboat to sink, creaking and tilting toward the bow.
Everyone subconsciously grabbed the railings or cables around them, and Fang Pliong grabbed Ai Xiaoxiao who was sliding down in that direction with his backhand. At the same time, he shouted to Luo Yu:
"Trapped it!"
In fact, he didn't need to say anything. The moment the arrow-tailed buzzard hit the ground, Luo Yu had already raised the elemental staff in his hand.
