Chapter 280
280. What Long Xuan didn't know was that not long after the Divine Dragon Ship left here, another fleet sailed into here.
There were six ships in this fleet, all dilapidated, with traces of cannon fire everywhere on the hull, and even the Black Dragon Pirate Flag hanging on the ship was burned away by half by the fire.
However, the ship flag burned away by half can vaguely see a dragon, but now it has become a broken dragon. This is the ship flag of the Black Dragon Pirate Group.
It's just that they are more cunning. There are six ships in the fleet, but they didn't gather together, but lined up in a long line, with a very long distance between each ship.
In this way, once the ship in front has an accident, the ships behind can evacuate in time, and there is no need to be wiped out here.
Such an arrangement really saved most of their lives.
I saw that the ship in front suddenly had a large piece of liquid crawling onto the deck, and then rushed toward the pirates who were sunbathing on the deck.
"Damn! What is this!"
One of the men had good vigilance and drew his sword in time, cutting the thing flying toward him into two halves.
However, after this thing was cut into two halves, not only was there nothing wrong, but it turned into two independent individuals, both of which could move autonomously.
The Undead Worm divided into two split left and right, and rushed into the two nostrils of this man without reducing its speed. He soon let out a painful scream and rolled on the ground.
This scene was also staged in other parts of the ship.
The liquid creatures that suddenly flew out of the water caught everyone on the ship off guard. Who could have thought that ordinary water was a terrifying life form?
Caught off guard, the people on the ship were hit one after another, and the ship was in chaos, with screams everywhere.
Large pieces of Undead Worms jumped out of the water surface, some drilled into the pirates' mouths, some drilled into the pirates' ears, some drilled into the pirates' nostrils, entering through every pore.
In a moment, the ship was full of corpses, and the deck was a mess.
At this time, the ships hanging far behind stopped instantly. Seeing the tragic scene on the ship in front, everyone on the ship changed their faces, revealing a look of horror, and didn't dare to approach the water area in front at all.
"What the hell is that thing? It's like water but not water, it's so terrifying." A man covered in scars said in shock.
This scarred man was also one of the three Spirit Sea Realm Gu cultivators who had fallen in realm, nicknamed Scar, and was the captain of this mission.
"Captain, what should we do? The Black Shrimp Ship has an accident. Should we rush to rescue it!"
Someone on the ship immediately walked to Scar and asked anxiously.
Scar slapped his back head heavily and cursed angrily: "Rescue what! Are you looking for death! If we go over, we are just sending food to those things!"
"That ship of people is finished! We can't save them at all, you idiot! Hurry up and turn around and run, if you don't run, it will be too late!"
Following Scar's order, the remaining five ships hurriedly turned around and left here quickly.
And the ship in front had no sound at this time, quiet and silent. Looking at the ship at this time, there was not a single living person, not even a bloodstain...
The Undead Worm matter was just a small episode for the Divine Dragon Ship. Next, the Divine Dragon Ship encountered various dangers on the sea, but all passed without danger.
Although the Endless Sea Region is dangerous, in terms of the degree of danger, it is still one step worse than the Death Sea Region.
After all, in the Endless Sea Region, as long as there is Endless Jade, there is a possibility of coming out. However, in the Death Sea Region, as long as the ship's performance is not up to standard, there is basically no possibility of coming out.
So although the Endless Sea Region is very dangerous, it really can't stop the Divine Dragon Ship that can survive in the Death Sea Region.
Just like this, the Divine Dragon Ship has been walking in the Endless Sea Region for two months without knowing it.
And in these two months, as the Divine Dragon Ship walked toward the center of the Endless Sea Region, the ships it encountered began to increase.
These ships came from all regions and were all going to the Sky Island to find treasures.
As the distance to the Sky Island gets closer and closer, he will naturally encounter competitors from other regions. This is an inevitable thing.
Many large ships, when they saw this small Divine Dragon Ship, were all ill-intentioned, preparing to approach and eat it.
There is no law on the sea, and killing people and seizing treasures is already a common thing.
But these ships were destined to kick the iron plate, and after being bombarded by Xiong Dali with a few cannons, they basically became honest.
Also accidentally sank a few ships. Under the pull of the powerful gravity in this sea area, the people who fell into the water basically didn't come up again, and they couldn't even be saved.
On this day, the Divine Dragon Ship encountered two more ships going to the Sky Island.
These two ships were different from the ships seen before. These two ships were actually eight-story treasure ships that Long Xuan had never seen before, much larger than the Money Ship of the Ninth Young Master of the Qian Clan, and the number of Gu cultivators on the ship could be described as a sea of people.
How strong is the force that has the strength to build an eight-story treasure ship?
Long Xuan had never heard of any force having the technology to build an eight-story treasure ship along the way.
So he had to speculate that these two eight-story treasure ships came from a powerful force in Central Earth, or even from further away.
Central Earth is the center of the Western Regions. The strongest forces in the entire Western Regions are basically concentrated in Central Earth, so the forces from Central Earth must not be offended no matter what.
When Long Xuan saw these two giant ships, the first thing he thought of was to take a detour and hide, and run quickly. Such a large ship, I guess it would be difficult to sink it with one shot even with a giant cannon.
However, seeing that these two ships were fighting and had no time to do other things, he didn't leave immediately.
These two eight-story treasure ships obviously came from different forces, the ship types were different, and the ship flags were different.
The flag on one eight-story treasure ship was painted with a strange candle, and the flag on one eight-story treasure ship simply wrote a "water" character.
At this time, these two eight-story treasure ships were conducting an artillery battle at sea. One side of each ship pushed out rows of ship cannons from each floor, and then bombarded each other.
The number of ship cannons on each ship was over a thousand, and the firepower was really not small.
The deafening explosion sound was connected together, without any gaps, blowing up countless waves on the water surface, and the ship body was also full of fire, the battlefield was extremely fierce, and Long Xuan was addicted to watching it for a while.
Artillery battles were going on on the ship, and the water surface was not idle.
That eight-story treasure ship with the candle ship flag released cavalry riding sharks. This kind of shark has great power and can actually ignore the influence of gravity in the Endless Sea Region.
At the same time, the eight-story treasure ship with the "water" character ship flag also released cavalry riding tiger-headed whales, and mixed with the invading shark cavalry.
At this time, the battle situation became more intense. As soon as the cavalry of both sides fought, the sea surface was dyed red with blood, and people were knocked off their mounts and sank into the abyss of the seabed from time to time.
This was his first time seeing cavalry fighting at sea, and he was fascinated for a while.
Compared with land cavalry fighting, cavalry fighting at sea is obviously more demanding on technology.
Because the battle of sea cavalry not only comes from the water surface, but also from the water, requiring the cavalry to have extremely high water skills and lung capacity, and the battlefield situation is obviously more complex.
The knowledgeable Leng Yan walked over and stood side by side with him, introducing him: "The force hanging the candle ship flag comes from the Zhu family in Central Earth. This ship is called the Candlelight Ship. The force hanging the 'water' character ship flag comes from the Shui family in Central Earth. This ship is called the Surging Waves Ship."
"The Zhu family is good at using shark cavalry, and the Shui family is good at using whale cavalry."
"These two major forces have the strongest shipbuilding technology and are the maritime hegemons of the Western Regions. Among the many maritime forces in the Western Regions, it is basically impossible to pick out a maritime force stronger than these two families."
"The Black Dragon Pirate Group is just showing off its power in its own territory. Looking at the entire Western Regions, it is not even worthy of carrying shoes for these two maritime hegemons."
"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Once two strongest forces appear on the sea, they will inevitably move toward hostility."
"So the Zhu family and the Shui family are mortal enemies. They will inevitably fight when they meet."
"Both sides have a large number of important figures who died in the hands of the other side, and they have already had an unresolvable hatred."
"The appearance of these two maritime hegemons here is not a good thing for us. This means that we will face two extremely strong competitors."
"We are completely unqualified to compete with them for treasures. Our trip to the Sky Island is probably difficult."
Long Xuan looked at her and smiled: "You have to be confident in yourself. According to Wu Yaoyao's prediction for you, you finally found the Face-Keeping Fruit in the Sky Island ruins and achieved eternal youth."
"Our trip to the Sky Island this time is a top-tier sign, you can rest assured."
Leng Yan's expression was calm: "Perhaps, but we must be careful next. We must never pin our confidence on ethereal predictions."
"Let's not watch the fun here. Both sides are evenly matched. As long as they are not stupid, it is impossible for them to fight to both sides suffer here."
"This conflict may only be a tentative attack by both sides, and it is impossible for both sides to suffer heavy losses."
"If you think they will suffer heavy losses here, that is absolutely impossible."
"There are already Gu cultivators from other forces on the ship persuading them to fight. I think this conflict will stop soon. Let's leave quickly to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
Long Xuan nodded, listened to the advice and stopped watching the fun, turned the ship's head, and left this place quickly.
Another ten days passed.
Long Xuan stood on the deck and saw a giant island from afar, with dense ships docked on the shore.
The ships were one bigger than the other. Five-story treasure ships were everywhere on the shore. Compared with these ships, the Divine Dragon Ship was undoubtedly the smallest one here.
At this time, there were also dense Gu cultivators gathered on the island, too many to count, but all of them were at the Essence Refining Stage, belonging to different forces from all over the world. At this time, conflicts occurred in some parts of the island, and they were fighting in a melee.
"Is this the Sky Island?" Long Xuan asked subconsciously.
Leng Yan walked over and said: "The Sky Island floats out of the water once every five hundred years, and will sink into the seabed again after a month."
"How could this be the Sky Island? We came early, and the time for the Sky Island to come out has not arrived yet."
"No one can accurately calculate the time on the long sea. The ships that arrived early can only find a nearby island to stay."
"This barren island is undoubtedly the closest to the location where the Sky Island comes out, so almost all the ships that arrived early will temporarily park their ships on this barren island."
"This is not all. As time goes by, more and more ships will sail to this island, including the two eight-story treasure ships behind us."
"By then, the number of Gu cultivators on the island will be enough to exceed your imagination. The Gu cultivators here come from any region in the world, so you must not underestimate the final number of Gu cultivators here."
"Every time the Sky Island comes out, more than 100,000 Gu cultivators will gather here, not including most of those who have been buried in the sea."
Hearing this, Long Xuan's scalp tingled. So many people, is the competition so fierce?
