Chapter 310: Sea Monster
Mr. Ding is the most popular teacher in Zhongshan College, although most of the students of Zhongshan College have not attended his class, and have never seen him in person, but from the principal to the first-year freshmen, no one does not know his name, and no one does not know his deeds.
However, this Teacher Ding is not teaching now, and he is now cultivating like most students in Zhongshan Academy.
Skua Island is now used as a training base for Zhongshan Academy to enter the Tianyuan Continent and participate in the finals of the Qinglian Competition.
The arrival of Little Gray has completely changed the ecology here, whether it is flying in the sky or swimming in the shallow sea, Little Ash's killing nature is exposed.
Skuas can be regarded as birds of prey, with wings spread for about one meter and a half, but even so, under the sharp claws of the flying cat, one by one the skuas fell. Ash doesn't hunt for food. In fact, these skuas are very fishy, and the meat is coarse, not very tasty, and the little gray hunts these skuas because as soon as it arrives on the island, it is taken as prey by the skua and wants to hunt it.
The flying cat, who dared to challenge the dragon, was completely enraged. The body of thirty or forty centimeters has a heart comparable to that of a dragon, and the angry little gray is quite terrifying, so this small island, which originally had tens of thousands of skuas, has never seen a single flying bird in just ten days.
On Thief Island, Ding Yi and his five main team members, facing more than a dozen senior students of Zhongshan Academy, are conducting various trainings, Chen Shi'an is very good at tactical guidance, and he can always change the method and design various battle modes. Most of the senior students who are sparring are mainly at the spirit level, and the whole confrontation is still quite intense.
Ding Yi generally only participates in their joint training, and in terms of individual confrontation, no opponent below the Xuan level has yet been able to survive three rounds under Ding Yi's car puppet.
Ding Yi is a special case, Chen Shi'an can not give him much guidance, Ding Yi most of the time, he is practicing the Tiangang Catalogue personally. In his spare time, Ding Yi would go to the library of Zhongshan College to read books.
Sometimes, when inspiration comes, I will also go to Xiaodongsheng Island to refine some mechanism array plates. At the same time, I will also communicate with the teachers who teach alchemy, formations, mechanism techniques, and puppet arts.
The teachers of Zhongshan College are very friendly to Ding Yi, although they are much better than Ding Yi in terms of level, and they are much stronger than Ding Yi in terms of personal ability, but Ding Yi can win the Kirin Award at his age, and the theoretical knowledge is very rich, and the hands-on ability is also good, the key is that Ding Yi has an extraordinary understanding in learning, and can often draw inferences from one another, touching the analogy, such a teenager, is very fond of these teachers.
After the welcome ceremony and celebration, Ding Yi worked very hard in his studies and had a full schedule. He's improved a lot these days.
Zhongshan College is not as good as Xuanzang College, and its faculty and collection of books are much stronger than Xuanzang College. And here, there is also a puppet grandmaster who gave Ding Yi a lot of help on the side.
This puppet grandmaster of Zhongshan Academy is an authentic southeasterner, and he is a puppet grandmaster cultivated by Zhongshan Academy itself. His qualification certification was also completed in the Iron Casting City, and he and Ding Yi had a lot of common traits, both of them were puppeteers who practiced by self-study. It's just a different focus.
The puppet grandmaster's name is Zhong Wu, he is over sixty years old this year, and he has been immersed in puppet art for many years.
Zhong Wu actually has some relationship with Ding Yi, Ding Yi's enlightenment teacher Han Tao, who has followed Zhong Wu for a long time and is deeply influenced by him.
This is an all-rounder, in the construction of organs, architectural painting, alchemy, mechanism arts...... and many other areas have performed well.
The two met and exchanged puppetry together, and they had the feeling of hating each other. Ding Yi learned a lot of puppet art from him. Zhong Wu not only took out his study notes for many years to study for Ding Yi for free, but also told Ding Yi about his failures in the process of self-study one by one, for Ding Yi to learn from, so that he did not take a lot of unjust roads.
The two of them can be said to be the two with the highest achievements in puppetry in the seven southeastern provinces. Zhong Wu also learned a lot of puppet art from Ding Yi's side. After all, Ding Yi still has a Wanli Fu, and he still maintains close contact with the three great masters of Tiangang City.
Ding Yi's various whimsical ideas also benefited Zhong Wu a lot.
However, Ding Yi and their stay in Zhongshan Academy is limited, and the intercontinental battle of the Qinglian Championship, after all, they have to cross the sea to the Tianyuan Continent, and this trip is not a day and a half to arrive.
There are seasonal super hurricanes in the stormy ocean, and no one can guarantee that every trip will be smooth sailing.
Stayed at Zhongshan College for two months, Ding Yihe
They finally embarked on a trip to the Tian Yuan Continent. At the same time, Yunxiang and the others are also going back to the Xuanzang Academy. Yunxiang and their study tour this time benefited a lot, saw the atmosphere of the first-class college, and also experienced a different teaching atmosphere.
"Boss, Boss Long, I can't accompany you to fight across the sea this time, you have to take care of everything. Hu Guiyan, Jian Yifan, Ma Yuan, and Yunxiang all stepped forward to send their best wishes at this moment of separation.
Ding Yi and Long Yan also parted with these partners one by one.
The way to travel across the continent is by sea, and it's October, and hurricanes in the stormy ocean still exist, but not as often as in August and September.
Although the cultivators' mana is extraordinary, they are also helpless in the face of hurricanes and stormy seas. This is the power of heaven and earth, and even the great grandmaster is powerless in the face of this terrifying natural wonder.
However, cultivators have learned a lot in the struggle against nature.
The development of Xiuzhen technology has also found some ways for human beings to challenge nature and conquer the sea.
Although there is no theory to explain the cause of hurricanes and predict the trajectory of hurricanes, some Xiuzhen sects in various coastal cities have made great progress in their understanding of the ocean and accumulated rich marine knowledge with the help of the National Academy of Sciences.
The development of stargazing, shipbuilding, communication technology, etc., has also provided new technical means for mankind to understand and understand the sea. Humans are also gradually moving from shallow to deep seas, where they can explore more uncharted territories.
At the Luogu Wharf in Nanping, Xiang Universe, the principal of Zhongshan College, personally led the team this time, accompanied by Vice President Minghui, General Affairs and Instructor Chen Shi'an, and Shi Yao, the Academic Affairs of Xuanzang College. This time, Zhang Guozi successfully squeezed out the wind chimes, obtained the right to play, and also participated in this Qinglian Competition.
Zhongshan Academy is bound to win this time. The chief and deputy directors of education in the Liuhua Continent, as well as the heads of the education circles in the southeast, all attended the farewell ceremony. Everyone placed considerable hopes on Ding Yi and his party.
Ding Yi and Zhong Wu once visited this sea ship, which is more than 200 meters long, more than 30 meters wide, and more than 40 or 50 meters high, and it is the most advanced seafaring ship in the Liuhua Continent.
The import and export trade of the mainland is all carried out by this kind of ocean-going ships, in addition to loach ships, as well as various styles of large and small sailing ships, all ships without exception, are made of the best wood, carefully designed and built, all ships are equipped with flying fork cannons, spirit stone cannons and other offensive weapons. Because in the stormy ocean there are not only hurricanes, but also terrible sea monsters.
Sea monsters are a common name for sea beasts, and the stormy ocean is inhabited by a variety of sea beasts, many of which are extremely aggressive. These devices on the sea ship are all designed to defend against these terrible sea beasts.
The transoceanic ship that Ding Yi and the others boarded was the one that Ding Yi and Zhong Wu visited. The ship's boss is surnamed Wan, his name is Wanli, and this transoceanic ship belongs to the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce. Ding Yi has a good relationship with the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and on this ship, there are one hundred and ten car puppets from Xintiandi this time.
The whole transoceanic ship, with the cargo hold below and the passenger cabin above.
Zhongshan College and all walks of life in Nanping City are familiar with it, and Wanli has arranged the best guest rooms for Zhongshan College.
As a mountain man, this is the first time in Ding Yi's life to take a big boat, and he is a little excited. You can see the sea at Zhongshan College, but if you want to really appreciate the scenery of the sea, you still have to take a walk on this kind of big boat.
Captain Wanli was very polite to Ding Yi, not only because of the relationship between the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce and Ding Yi, but also because Ding Yi and Zhong Wu had made some improvements to his ship.
These people in Zhongshan Academy are all cultivators, so naturally no one will get seasick, but in fact, when this big ship sails into the sea, the feeling on the sea is completely different from that on land. At the wharf, I still felt that the nearly 200-meter-old transoceanic ship was a behemoth, and when I entered the sea, I found that compared with the vast sea, this transoceanic ship was as tiny as a mustard seed.
Seeing the huge waves of dozens of meters, turbulent and agitated, and the sea boats tossing up and down on this rough sea, this is the real feeling of the majesty of the sea.
The empire has set up spiritual pagodas on many small islands, and on many islands, there are cultivators staying here to keep abreast of the changes in ocean currents and weather conditions around them. These left-behind cultivators, who guide these ocean-going ships, are all unsung heroes. It is with their presence that the ocean-going trade can proceed normally.
Ash doesn't like to stay in the cabin, preferring to climb up to the tallest mast and rest on it. Occasionally, it will also fly high and hunt some flying fish at sea.
This flying Tmall IQ is very
Gao, when it has a catch, it will always go to Yuan Zhen and ask Yuan Zhen to process it.
Ding Yi is a bookworm, he can endure loneliness, he rarely goes out of the cabin, and always stays inside to read.
This is a cabin for four people, and it happens that Zhou Wenhai, Qu San, and Xue Ren have one bunk per person.
Qu San is an active person, he likes to stay on the deck, and Zhou Wenhai also feels that staying in the cabin is too boring, and often goes outside to hang out.
Xue Ren is specially trained, but he is qualitative and has always been by Ding Yi's side.
The transoceanic ship drifted peacefully on the sea for five days. In the middle of the night on the fifth day, Ding Yi felt the bumps of the boat, up and down, left and right. Even Ash, who had always liked to stay outside, returned to the cabin.
"There was a hurricane more than 300 miles ahead, and a message came from Lao Wan's side just now. Zhou Wenhai reported to Ding Yi.
Flying Lynx Xiaoshen, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is also trembling in the face of the magnificent power of nature.
The transoceanic ship had already opened the protective formation, and even so, the big ship still shook violently.
Ding Yi and the others have now entered the deep sea area, and in the face of this capricious natural weather, they cultivators have no way to do it.
After two days of such intense turbulence, the transoceanic ship finally avoided the storm circle of the hurricane. The sea finally calmed down.
Ding Yi walked out of the cabin.
The ship's protective formation has not been removed, and this simple air hood formation can isolate the sea water, and it can also allow the sea ship to have a certain ability to avoid hurricanes.
Ding Yi was a little curious, he saw that many sailors were checking the weapons and equipment on the ship.
Xue Ren had the experience of going to the sea, and he explained to Ding Yi: "After a hurricane, there are often some large sea monsters floating up to feed, which is actually the most worrying thing for sea ships. ”
Ding Yi has not really seen a sea monster, and most of the monsters in the illusion disc have been artistically processed, and Ding Yi even suspects that some illusionists have never been to sea at all.
"What's that?" Zhou Wenhai, who was beside him, pointed to a strange thing that looked like an eye not far away.
Xue Ren looked in the direction of Zhou Wenhai's finger and immediately shouted.
"Black Hitomi! Damn, how did you come across this shit? ”
The long-range weapons on the ship, at this moment, carried out a wave of attacks on this thing that Xue Ren called 'Black Pupil'.
Ding Yi could see clearly that several harpoons more than two meters long had pierced into the strange thing of the 'black pupil'. The eye-like creature is more than twenty meters long, and it looks a bit like an eyeball, Ding Yi is still guessing that this ghost thing has some powerful killing moves, but he didn't see it after looking at it for a long time. It's weird. It didn't seem to be so terrible, like a few flying forks in the whites of the eyes, the spirit stone cannon splashed out a large amount of blue liquid, and it sank after a while.
Ding Yi originally thought that Xue Ren was screaming, thinking that this ghost thing was very powerful, but when he saw that thing, it didn't seem to be very good, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.
Xue Ren's expression was still extremely serious, obviously he knew something about this sea monster.
"Black pupils, there is also a common name called sea eyes, whenever this ghost thing appears, it means that there are a large number of sea beasts under the surface of the sea, and we are in trouble this time. ”
Sure enough, he didn't say his words for long, and the sea water churned, and countless flying fish and swordfish ...... All sorts of fish sprang out of the sea, and the whole sea boiled, and soon several behemoths rose on the surface of the sea.
Those flying fish and swordfish were not aimed at Ding Yi's transoceanic boat, but they were driven out of the water by these large sea monsters and flying indiscriminately.
It's the big sea monsters that are scary!
The air hood of the transoceanic ship can only have a certain protection against some waves and sea water, and those flying fish and swordfish flying in panic can have a certain danger to the personnel and hull of the ship. Not to mention the weird-shaped sea monsters.
An island-like fish monster, a sour squid monster with a kilometer-long tentacle on each of its tentacles, and an imperial sea snake that defy gravity and roll and move on the surface of the sea......
At this moment, it seemed like a large sea monster exhibition, and twenty or thirty super-large sea monsters suddenly emerged from the calm sea.
The people who came out of the cabin to breathe were stunned by these vicious giant sea creatures.
"Come into the cabin......" Xue Ren shouted loudly.
He covered Ding Yi and hurriedly retreated.
Ding Yi subconsciously ran to the cabin, ran a few steps, and Ding Yi stopped. He didn't think that with Wanli and his sailors, he would be able to make the ship pass smoothly through the sea monsters that were raging.
