Chapter six hundred and twentieth trapped
The Morning Star quickly turned the bow of the ship and galloped towards the north. When the crowd saw the big ship suddenly turn for some reason, they immediately became a little panicked, but at this time Fang Yi's voice had already heard from the bow of the ship.
"These are ravens in the sky. The challenge level of more than 20 crows is already higher than level 35. Everyone understands what this means. Bypassing the 'raven wall' to the south seems to be a shortcut, but the number of ravens there is at least twice as many as that at sea. If we go there, our ship will probably not be able to save it!"
While Fang Yi had already taken back the injured Supreme Treasure to the pet space, he said firmly: "So now you would rather risk the pirates, and the ships should never approach the coast!"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and couldn't help but mutter to each other. Now this is true in the game, but most of the people present are professional players who run business in the game. If they are not lucky, the loss of the last one can no longer be described as painful, so everyone's expressions are a little hesitant.
The reason why Fang Yi explained to the players on the ship so seriously was that there was a threat of pirates in the north, and it was farther from going to and from north to bypass the crows than from near the coast. For these businessmen, if they were delayed on the sea for one more day, the business opportunities on the other side of the sea might be fleeting, and everyone would have to take risks.
But this is not the issue that Fang Yi is most concerned about. At this time, Fang Yi held the side of the boat and looked at the crows that covered the sun. The doubts in his heart could not be resolved for a long time.
Time goes back two days ago.
Fang Yi fell on a reef and went offline to check the information. After searching patiently for several hours, Fang Yi finally found a trace of clues - the raven itself is a kind of wild animals, with such a large-scale, abnormal gathering. One is controlled by people, and the other is for food and territory.
So after Fang Yi went online again, he forced himself to get into the cold sea water and swam to the coast before his energy was exhausted.
Some people say that this place is so close to the merchant ship channel, why didn’t Fang Yi take a boat to avoid the ravens in the sky? The reason is very simple. It’s time.
Ordinary merchant ships set out from Xueshan City. To reach the capital of the Tumis Empire, Aragon City, the largest harbor city in Tumis, usually take twenty days. This voyage takes longer than to reach the farther Eastern harbor, because the sea routes after bypassing the Oslam Mountains are covered with reefs, and non-experienced sailors cannot pass.
But Fang Yi rode a dragon, otherwise. He could arrive in just five days at most, so if he could find a way to avoid these crows, Fang Yi would not want to take a boat.
...
Fang Yi and Ji Feng acted separately on the coast, trying to find a breakthrough, and by the way, they also saw what mysteriousness was on the coast. However, they did not expect that Ji Feng, who had a sensitive sense of smell, soon discovered a jaw-dropping place. Even though Fang Yi was knowledgeable, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
In a V-shaped bay, an unparalleled corpse of an creature lies on the beach gravel, emitting a foul smell, and countless ravens flew up and down around the corpses of the giant beast.
If it weren't for the sea breeze that kept blowing and he was wearing Altaïr's mask, Fang Yi would probably be spit out immediately by the smell.
The huge corpse showed a strange light blue color. Half of the body was densely packed, covered with thin scales about a foot long. The huge tail fins and pectoral fins showed the identity of its ocean giant beast! The two eyes of the corpse were similar to fish, without eyelids, and maggots had already grown in the black giant eyes, which made Fang Yi feel disgusted.
What surprised Fang Yi the most was the size of this giant beast. Fang Yi had also seen many large ones and had lost weight. In the official promotional demo, the figure of the ancient dragon is also well known to the majority of players. However, compared with the sea beast in front of him, the ancient dragon plus its neck and wings add up. It is not as big as the tail of this corpse!
Fang Yi was reluctant to give up this clue and sneaked up quietly. Unexpectedly, he could see some tricks. These ravens who were fighting for carrion actually took them under Fang Yi's eyelids and changed. The originally black and shiny feathers became dark and dull within ten seconds, and fell down rustly, revealing the hideous and terrifying flesh scars covered by the feathers.
"Damn, is this Resident Evil? This is..."
Fang Yi felt cold in his heart when he saw it, and couldn't help but complain. The game is a magical world, so naturally no one will do virus research, but those evil and unknown magic are much more terrifying than Resident Evil.
After spending three minutes walking around the corpse, Fang Yi discovered another discovery - there were about a dozen deadly wounds on the side abdomen and neck of the sea beast, and the scales and flesh had been soaked into a miserable white color, but it did not look like it was bitten by teeth, but it seemed like it was cut with a sharp blade.
Looking at the good corpses in front of you, then looking up at the dark shadows in the sky, Fang Yi estimated that there were probably many such corpses elsewhere on the coast, otherwise it would be impossible to attract such a large group of quarrels.
The undersea beast...the crazy raven...
What does this mean? There is a drastic change at the bottom of the sea? Ximen Port and Xingmucheng often see mysterious corpses washed ashore by waves, but they have not seen such "grand occasion" at present?
But what does this have to do with me? Changes are born under the sea, and I can’t do anything about it...
...
The next day, Fang Yi hiked a few more laps on the coast and found several corpses of different sizes and shapes. Seeing that there was no sign of the crows dissipating, Fang Yi decisively changed his mind.
If the source of this incident was on the shore, Fang Yi would not mind spending a few days or even a week to do this task, dispersing the crows and continuing to ride the dragon, but if you can't find clues, it would be a waste of time, time is not waiting for anyone...
So early this morning, Fang Yi thought that the merchant ships coming and going were about to arrive, so he rode the Supreme Treasure out of the coast - the silver dragon's claws were almost touching the sea, but after flying out for more than thirty seconds, he was discovered by the ravens again. I don't know if this group of black goods had a grudge against flying things, Fang Yi could only barely hold on for a while and jumped into the sea to escape again.
Then there was everything that followed.
***
As the morning star sailed rapidly, Fang Yi's frown slowly relaxed. The closer to the center of the falling star sea, the smaller the density of the crows. Although there were still scattered ravens falling on the ship to attack, it was no longer a threat. The NPC guards on the ship could cook these things.
With Fang Yi's insistence, the Morning Star finally drove northward. Fang Yi explained the pros and cons, and Fang Yi himself is a celebrity in the game, so everyone's trust in him has invisibly improved. Those merchants who are worried about wasting time are not so determined even if they have objections - after all, compared to losing some profits, losing is still the worst result.
Holding the cold boat side with both hands, a faint smell of the sea floated in his mouth and nose. Fang Yi recalled that he had been busy on the deserted coast these days, and couldn't help but start to sigh at his extraordinary "good luck". He finally rode a dragon on a long trip...
"Hello,"
Just as Fang Yi was staring at the ravens all over the sky, a sound of greeting came from behind him. Fang Yi had already heard the footsteps behind him. At this time, he turned his head and looked at him, and his eyes lit up.
Standing behind him was a female human mage. Her long black bangs drifted in the wind, covering the white and pink sides of the opponent. Because of the sea breeze, the deep black gold-inlaid mage robe was also tightly attached to the female player, outlining a wonderful curve.
The female mage looked at Fang Yi with some curiosity with her brown eyes, her expression and movements were generous, and she seemed to be an extroverted girl.
"Haha, hello," Fang Yi smiled and waited for the other party to explain his purpose.
"I never thought I could meet a legendary figure like you on a merchant ship in the Falling Star Sea," the female mage Bei Chi Wei Lu raised her hand and shook her hand with Fang Yi, and said with a smile: "My name is Bai Feifei."
"I don't need to introduce myself," Fang Yi withdrew his right hand, feeling the remaining smooth touch, and his heart moved slightly.
"I was wondering if you were invited to join our adventure team, would it be a bit unnecessary?" Bai Feifei smiled hurriedly, stretched out his hand to close his hair flying in his ears.
Fang Yi had a good impression of this generous girl, but just smiled and shrugged, and didn't say anything to refuse.
After some conversation, Fang Yi realized that the other party and his team were a fixed adventure team. They were all on the boat now, and this time they were going to Tumis. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened.
"Under normal circumstances, there are only about a hundred or so communities of rotten ravens, which is too abnormal this time."
Bai Feifei and Fang Yi stood side by side at the bow of the ship, hugging the smooth oak staff, looking at Fang Yi and saying, "Master, do you know the reason?"
Fang Yi raised his eyebrows, and when the female mage's tone was obviously in her words, could she still know the inside story of this change?
"I really don't know about this, but it's definitely true that there is a mission line,"
Fang Yi took off his windshield and was wearing a mask. He wanted to touch his chin habitually, but what he could touch was the smooth lower edge of the mask. "What do you know?"
Seeing Fang Yi's playful expression, Bai Feifei smiled and leaned his staff against his shoulders, and wrapped his arms around his chest. "Talking to smart people is easy. Actually, I know some inside information that can guarantee the authenticity, but it does not guarantee that these news is necessarily related to the situation in front of me."
really!
