Endless route

Chapter 275 45. Suspicions on the ancient battlefield

Cranes hovered high in the sky over the valley. Two huge moons cast silvery white light. The shadow of the mountain cut the valley in half. A large number of abandoned ancient ships were stranded at the bottom of the valley.

Those ancient ships are either bright or dark.

His stomach was disemboweled and lying all over the floor.

It's as weird as a corpse cave.

After a cursory glance, I'm afraid there are not just hundreds of them. Counting those that are so mutilated that there are only remains, there are also a large number of countless fragments. Maybe two hundred are enough to stop them.

"Master Immortal, there are so many ships. It seems to me that these ships were damaged due to the war." Ji Dao stared down at the ancient ships and shouted in surprise.

"Go down and have a look."

Zheng Yun clutched the feathers on the crane's neck tightly. When the crane flew, the high-altitude air-conditioning penetrated into his hair and blew on his scalp, making his scalp chilly and his body a little cold.

"Oh, if I had known that this was such a weird situation, I would never have chosen the white crane, or the immortal can see far."

Ji Dao sighed softly.

In order to show off this time, the cranes he chose were all bright-colored, and each one looked more fairy-like than the other. They looked very dazzling under the moonlight and could be seen hundreds of miles away.

I wanted to appear holy in front of people.

But I didn't expect this place to look like this.

"Let's talk after we get down."

Zheng Yun didn't say much.

So far, no danger has been observed, but the crane is stable and comfortable.

Ji Dao sat cross-legged on the back of the crane. His gray-white Taoist robe remained motionless in the strong wind and could not fall off at all.

"Down!"

Ji Dao ordered in a low voice.

The four cranes flying above the valley slowly fell downwards, circling downward in circles.

Before the crane landed, Zheng Yun raised his eyes and looked at the terrain in all directions. He saw that the valley was extremely vast. It was several kilometers wide from east to west, like a dry river.

Moonlight shines into the valley.

There are countless dark and gloomy mountains and forests.

Looking further afield, hundreds of kilometers are covered with high and low mountains, surrounded by endless mountains. This boundless cliff is truly worthy of its name.

There are some details if you look closely.

All mountains are close to a thousand meters in height.

Although there is no water in the layers of valleys, the overall mountain topography is similar to that of the river. The valleys are connected to the mountains. Although the mountains are endless, the valleys are all connected to each other.

Like a boundless formation or a natural maze, the mountains are intertwined horizontally and vertically like a giant net, enveloping the entire Wuhaixianzhou, making people dizzy just looking at it.

This terrain is weird.

It is suspected that a large river washed out.

Extremely rare on the Endless Route.

If the ancients came to this kind of place, they would probably like it very much, because this is almost a natural formation.

Ancient military strategists could arrange troops and make numerous calculations in complex terrain, and this boundless cliff is extremely complex, similar to a Go board, with endless variations of moves.

When Zheng Yun looked out.

The crane has fallen into the valley.

The ruins of the ancient city underfoot gradually became clearer, and the surrounding terrain became more obvious, until the crane completely fell into the open space.

"Master Immortal, something is wrong, something is so wrong!"

Ji Dao jumped off the crane's back, and right in front of them was a Ming treasure ship. At first glance, it looked like a ship from the mid-Ming Dynasty, but it was completely broken into two pieces by the disembowelment.

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary break.

The key point is that the fracture of this ship is very shocking. There is a hole in the middle of the hull, but there is no wreckage of the hull around, as if it was bitten off by a huge mouth.

If you use a human metaphor.

The entire abdomen of the boat was missing, and there was only a huge gap in the body, but there was no trace of the intestines, viscera, and bones. It might have been swallowed by something.

Several people stood in front of the boat.

At a glance, you can see into the interior of the cabin through the fracture, and you can even see some human bones and a large number of intact furnishings.

"It's really weird."

Zheng Yun took a deep breath.

They have also walked through many dangerous places with ghosts and ghosts. After seeing it at this glance, it is still unclear that this place must have shocking secrets.

In ancient times, a naval division usually had one or two hundred ships. This bright spot and the dark blind spots were at least the number of two naval divisions, and there were still a large number of incomplete hulls that were difficult to estimate.

These ships were obviously battle damaged.

They were captured here by the enemy, and the battlefield was in the valley below them and could not be moved to other places.

Regardless of whether the entire naval force was wiped out, or other navy commanders escaped or suffered a tragic victory, so far, this was the heaviest loss they had seen with their own eyes.

Previously, there was only one boat in the Strait, and a boat master died in the attack of the endless sea monster. That incident had a great influence, was famous in history, and was known to all the people around him.

This place is silent and nameless.

It seemed like just an ordinary battlefield.

"Master Immortal, when the boat master was here, he probably encountered something terrible." Jidao walked to the edge of the ancient ship and muttered as he looked at the ferocious fractures on the hull.

The ship was one hundred and forty to fifty meters long. It was bitten by something for at least twenty meters, and it was cut off at the waist.

Look sideways and to the right.

It was the same ancient Ming Dynasty ship, but the injuries were different. The entire bow was gone, and the fracture was even rougher, as if it had been slapped to pieces by something.

This is completely different from diving into the strait.

The culprit of the shipwreck in the Submersible Strait is the Kraken. He can only jump out of the sea and fight with the sea guards. He relies on numbers to win. Even if the entire navy is destroyed, it is impossible to break the ancient ship.

It was a fierce battle.

The two sides fought at night in the foggy sea, with lights flashing and torches flying into the sky. They fought to the death with swords and swords all over the ship. They fought for three days and three nights, until one side was completely dead.

But the battlefield in front of us was different.

All the injuries of the ancient ships were fatal blows. The entire hull was in pieces and was completely sunk in an instant.

This conclusion is easy to draw, because no ship can withstand such heavy damage and will sink in just a few minutes.

The enemy must be huge.

For example, the shocking sea beasts recorded in ancient books.

If the boat master was unprepared and was caught off guard and was attacked and killed by the opponent, then it can be imagined that the boat master must have suffered heavy casualties and even had no ability to fight back.

This could be a massacre.

The Ming Dynasty Marine was the one who was slaughtered.

"..."

Zheng Yun looked serious.

Even if these ancient ships are stranded on the ground, they are still behemoths with a length of one to two hundred meters and a height of tens of meters. They are much larger than the row residential buildings in the old community.

They cover the valley horizontally and vertically.

Under the moonlight, it is full of vicissitudes of life and eerie feeling.

Just looking here, Zheng Yun could almost imagine that the entire boat division was sailing through the valley at night while riding the wind and waves, and the huge sea beast suddenly attacked from the bottom of the valley.

The only giant sea beasts Zheng Yun could think of were deep-sea octopuses or squids. Their huge, sticky tentacles broke through the sea surface, and holding the ancient ship was like a child holding a toy in the bathtub.

After the first ship was attacked.

The other ships in the navy quickly warned, and their lights shot up into the sky, but they could never illuminate the entire sea. The small swords in their hands seemed even more powerless in front of the huge tentacles.

"I'm afraid there was water here before, but how can we control the dryness of such a huge valley?"

Ji Dao looked into the distance. The surrounding mountains were covered with black shadows, like sky-high barriers, completely cutting off the world.

"Be vigilant."

Zheng Yun lowered his head and looked at his feet. The soil was hard and it would be impossible for anything to break out of the ground. However, if the ones attacking the boat master were not sea monsters, then they would be extremely dangerous.

The gravity here is similar to that of Heaven.

The possibility of huge creatures appearing is high.

If a giant beast really attacks, then they may also have to wait for death. The immortal corpse cannot withstand the slap of the giant beast, the ghost figurines have no time to spread poison, and the cold immortal has no time to eat.

They only brought four meters of Hanxian.

Hanxian takes time to eat, and if he has enough time, he will definitely be able to finish the meal. But in a hurry, Hanxian may only be able to chew the skin of the giant beast's feet and give people pedicures.

Unless the Immortal Sacrifice Cave is cleared and all Han Immortals are invited out.

Hanxian can fight if he reaches a height of thirty meters.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yun couldn't help but sigh. Although the monsters on the endless route were astonishing, the Ming Dynasty was by no means helpless and could kill the opponent with a mortal body.

Magic is magic after all.

Daming has a lot of cards in his hand.

After observing on the spot for a while, several people got into the ancient ship to look inside, trying to find some written records to get a glimpse of the battle that took place and what happened to the boat master.

They split up.

The ancient books and papers in the ancient ship had long been reduced to ashes over the years. Ji Dao rummaged through and found several exquisite leather scrolls with sea charts, while Zheng Yun picked up some Triton waist badges and battle armor.

In addition, Zheng Yun also discovered.

There was a cabin full of cannonballs.

These shells are artillery shells, round and black, of unknown material, and stored in special wooden boxes.

The Shenji Battalion existed in the Ming Dynasty, and it mastered firearms in the early Ming Dynasty, which was the prototype of firearms and artillery in later generations.

Ancient ships of the Ming Dynasty usually had multiple cannons, but these cannons were usually only used to deal with pirates. Zheng Yun had never heard of a version of the navy's artillery using magical means.

There are no relevant discoveries in the archaeological community.

Triton has left no magical tricks in the world, and all the artillery discovered are basically normal versions.

However, when he was studying swordsmanship with Jidao before, Zheng Yun had seen how the ancients played with swords. Not only could they kill people from a hundred meters away, but they could also chop people into livestock with one sword.

These shells shouldn't be simple either.

Perhaps it is the ghost version of the cannonball used by the Ming Dynasty Navy in naval battles with the enemy. It is a true war instrument. No one knows what is inside.

This is the first time Zheng Yun has seen this kind of thing.

The dangerous places they explored before were either completely controlled and abandoned by Triton, or cleared and blocked by Triton, or simply created by Triton themselves.

Without exception, those dangerous places with ghosts and ghosts have been completely eliminated by Triton. They are the historical legacy of Triton's ancient buildings.

But this time is different.

There are a large number of cannonballs stored in the sunken ship of the navy, which shows that when the navy entered this valley, they were at least prepared and had even planned for a long time to have a naval battle with their opponents.

Although the whole army was wiped out.

But with the Ming Dynasty's national strength and capabilities, if a naval battle starts with an opponent, the preparations required are beyond what ordinary people can imagine. The enemy can resist, but he and others cannot.

Therefore, Zheng Yun did not dare to move. If he reached out and touched one, triggering a cannonball and making some messy things, he and others would be wiped out.

After walking around.

Zheng Yun and Ji Dao met outside the ship, and the two sides communicated and discovered that as soon as Ji Dao heard that there were shells, he quickly got back into the cabin with a flashlight, leaving Zheng Yun at the door to study the chart.

These charts are key clues.

They had already taken a crane to overlook the terrain here before, and now they could see from the sea chart that the layers of mountains, rivers and rivers on the chart were this boundless cliff.

There is indeed no sea here.

But there are several big rivers.

The map was very clear. Hundreds of years ago, there was a big river under their feet, flowing east-west and into the distance.

Expand the entire chart.

The chart is more than five meters long. Judging from the zoom level, it should describe at least a thousand miles to the left and right. Every corner is similar terrain, with mountains and rivers intertwined in layers.

The river flows eastwards in one breath, and ends at a large lake hundreds of miles away. Immortal gates are painted on the lake, marked with special small characters. The name of the large lake is Wangjing.

The Immortal Gate is the Sea of ​​Mist.

The ancients entered this place from the Sea of ​​Mist.

The previous speculation was correct. There must be a sea of ​​mist on this planet, but a problem also arose. There was clearly a river under the feet, but it dried up at this moment.

How did the ancients block rivers?

Could it be that dynamite was used to blow up the mountain?

The total amount of water on a planet is constant. Even if Triton has the ability to move mountains and fill lakes, block rivers and bury lakes, the rivers and large lakes will definitely have a home.

Think of this.

Zheng Yun found that he had entered into a misunderstanding.

In fact, Triton does not need to expend much effort to isolate the Sea of ​​Mist. It does not even need to fill up the sea and lake. It only needs to fill the bottom of the Sea of ​​Mist with soil to raise it a few meters.

The structure of the Sea of ​​Mist may be the same as that of the Black Jade Pillow. The Black Jade Pillow was even removed from the Sea of ​​Mist. The Black Jade Pillow only takes effect in the mud and will close when buried.

"Master Immortal, they are all good things!"

Ji Dao suddenly ran out, holding a big cannonball in his arms, and opened his mouth to the sky with joy.

"Do you recognize them?"

Zheng Yun stepped back and asked.

"Yes, I took a closer look just now. These ammunitions are all in good condition, and many of them are still usable. If we want to leave the Heavenly Palace in the west in the future, we can use them."

Ji Dao said with a cheerful smile.

He had known Zheng Yun's wish for a long time, and his discovery this time was quite timely. Tiangong is a Taoist fairyland, and there are ancient books and Tiangong magic, but there are no war equipment.

Now there it is.

There are so many ancient shipwrecks here, at least a fully armed and complete boat division. Although they have all sunk, there is enough left in them for them to pick up a lot.

I can pick up treasures again.

And there’s not much risk.

This is a naval officer who is serious about naval battles. He brings countless good treasures with him to fill the void in the Heavenly Palace.

The only pity is that this boat division was created hundreds of years ago and was smashed to pieces by the enemy. The above methods are a bit outdated and should have been eliminated by later generations of sea guards.

"If you want to pick it up, pick it up."

Zheng Yun looked at Ji Dao's joyful expression and sighed. Their contemporary Supervisory Immortal Division was really hard and sad. They picked up the relics of the ancients every day, which was almost the same as collecting rags.

"Master Xian, with these things, we, the Supervisor, can also fill up a ship. In modern terms, Master Xian, you are the captain, I am the first mate, and everyone else is the crew."

Ji Dao held the cannonball happily.

"It's not that simple."

Zheng Yun frowned deeply as he looked at the wreckage of the ships.

This planet is just as Ji Dao said. Since the Sea of ​​Mist was filled by the ancients, it is a lost place in the cracks. If you want to go to the next planet, you can't go here.

If you want to go to other lost places, you still have to leave the Heavenly Palace in the west and use the tortoise shell chart in Ikwan Palace to sail away.

But you must be fully prepared.

The Ming Dynasty was forced in ancient times to cut off subsequent shipping routes even if it reclaimed the sea. I am afraid that there are not just one or two scattered abandoned places behind it, but all of them are abandoned places.

Combined with the last words of the adoptive father and others.

I don’t know what will be behind this.
