When Jiang Tian packed up his luggage again and went down to the deck, he saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky at an unknown time on the sparkling blue sea, illuminating everything. Except for the mess on the deck, Apart from our own ship, which is undergoing constant repairs, all other ships have disappeared.
And on the horizon below the bright moon, there is a sudden black spot. However, without raising the sail again, this large whale-class ship followed the invisible current and slowly traveled a long distance in the direction of the black spot.
Soon after, as the sea current became increasingly swifter, thick chains attached to heavy stone anchors were thrown into the sea one after another from the bow and stern of the ship, slowly anchoring the hull that continued to move forward. Only then did Jiang Tian clearly see that there was a strange island in front of him.
Numerous wrecks of various shapes and sizes form the main part of the island. The gaps between these wrecks are already covered with various dense seaweed barnacles, as well as crookedly grown large and small vegetation; they are gently trembling, floating and humming with the sound of the sea water hitting the shore.
"What's so strange about this? It looks like it's filled with evil spirits at first glance, so it's better not to approach it rashly." However, when the man with dark skin and gray temples saw this, he said solemnly: "Heitou Zhusi, can you The watermen leading the oars try to get around this place."
"Old bow, I'm afraid it won't work at this moment." The leader of the watermen with a dark bronze complexion named Heitou Zhusi immediately took the order and left. After a while, he turned back and replied: "The reverse current is too strong and the wind is not right. If you take off the oar in a hurry, you may not be able to go very far before being swept back."
However, as the sky gradually turned white, there was still no change in the direction of the current and wind on the sea; instead, the force impacting the hull in the water became stronger and stronger, and obvious vortices near the ship could even be seen. It rolled over the hull with a roar, and set off waves of water ripples like fish tails.
At this time, the old captain once again received a whisper from a close confidant, and his expression changed slightly. Finally, he sighed loudly: "Since it is the superior's order, let's put down a few boats and let them go investigate. At least , we must believe in the immortal who protects our ship."
After a while, several large boats with six long oars were slowly put into the water; carrying five or six sergeants/team members on the same boat, together with three specialized watermen/rowers; they descended along the gentle sea surface. The undercurrent rushed out far away like the wind, and in a moment it was close to the shipwreck island.
As the ship got closer, I felt more and more how huge and broad the wreckage island was under the moon; I don’t know how many wrecks and debris were gathered together. So much so that when you look through a monocular, you can see that there are rotten shipboards and debris everywhere, as well as keels, masts and other embedded components.
And among these chaotically piled shipwrecks and aquatic vegetation, there is still a faint mist. It's like the remains of a giant beast lurking in the waves, full of creepy weirdness; it also seems to be waiting for prey and sacrifices to come to you.
Just these watermen were manning the rippling big boat, looking for a suitable place to land along the edge of the wreckage island; when they saw the boat suddenly swaying heavily, the sergeants/team members on the same boat jumped up one after another. , flew across the sky several feet and landed on the island.
However, the person who moved one step faster than them was the armored person that Jiang Tian had summoned again. Under the blessing of the moonlit night, it was like a swordfish in the turbulent sea water; it rushed to the edge of the wreckage island in a few seconds; and silently stepped onto the shore where the rotten ship planks were stacked.
And following the disappearing wisps of moonlight, walking among these dilapidated shipwrecks, you can find that the style and structure of these shipwrecks, as well as the material and shape of the remaining sails, are obviously far different from those of the Tang Dynasty in China. style; and no new wreckage fragments were seen.
This also made Jiang Tian, who was observing secretly, breathe a sigh of relief. Because this also means that the other ships in the same convoy were only scattered by the sudden wind and rain, rather than being gathered on this strange shipwreck island after encountering unexpected shipwrecks and damage.
So what he needs to do now is to find out the source of the abnormal undercurrent gathering in this large sea area on this shipwreck island. In other words, based on Jiang Tian's consistent experience in dealing with various abnormal situations, this island of shipwrecks is very likely to be another anomaly.
Such anomalies that invade the world usually infiltrate and affect the surrounding ecology; they even bring along some strange accompanying alien species with various weird abilities. However, when Person A went deep into it and walked a long distance, he still found no trace.
There are only some broken shells of barnacles and shellfish left by the high tide; not even the crustaceans and worms that are normally active among the roots; there are no traces of any birds, reptiles, or other creatures. Everything was so lifeless and silent.
Even the saline-alkali-tolerant mangroves, banyans, custard apples and other low shrubs clinging to the mud of the ship's hull are half-dead green and yellow; the winding branches are still white like frost flowers. Salted; salted? The next moment Jiang Tian realized what he was doing, he immediately issued an order: "Send the signal, everyone, wait, turn around and return immediately. No one is allowed to stay; violators will be dealt with according to military law."
As Jiang Tian activated the "amplification" and "micronization" modules, his shouts instantly penetrated the sea surface several miles away, and also resounded and rippled around the edge of the wreckage island. The remains of the broken hulls and remains from the burial period were being explored and surveyed. The sergeants/team members all started to wake up and turned around and left.
Just a moment after they rowed against the current and struggled towards the big ship, Man A, who had already penetrated deep into the center of the island, also saw a huge geothermal fountain pool a hundred paces wide surrounded by withered trees; There was a faint thunderous movement, and yellow slurry was spraying out all the time.
However, in Person A's special gray vision, the bottom of the large fountain of the yellow hot spring is a large mouth of flesh and blood full of strong biological reactions; connected to the thick inner walls of the pipes and numerous living veins of different thicknesses ; An unknown existence that extends deep underground.
After confirming that most of the boats were close to the anchored ship, with a thought, Jiang Tian controlled Man A to reveal a sinking mine the size of a water tank; he threw it into the intermittent jets of the yellow hot spring, It quickly sank amidst the hissing sound of erosion, turning into a muffled sound that shook several feet.
