After hearing the sailor's report, not only Ogland, but even Fangzheng, Tiria, and the others walked to the bow of the ship curiously and looked forward. For no other reason than the fact that the story Fox told was too strange and scary. Everyone wanted to witness the Gulf of the Dead for themselves.
And it turned out that this was indeed a wonderful place.
The Gulf of the Dead's geographical location was indeed very outstanding to be able to become an excellent harbor in the Age of Navigation. Not only that, but the seawater here was also unusually clear and bright. Even though it was shrouded in gloomy clouds, everyone could clearly see the aquatic plants and coral groups at the bottom of the sea.
This strange scene even made them feel as if the bottom of the sea was only one step away from them. As long as they jumped off the deck, they could directly stand on the bottom of the sea!
"It's so beautiful …."
Kulia and Nunali leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery below. They could not help but sigh. But Fangzheng frowned because he could feel that there was nothing here!
That's right. The Gulf of the Dead gave Fangzheng the feeling that it was like a fish tank with only water in it but no fish in it. The green aquatic plants, the bright coral reefs, and even the fine white sand at the bottom of the sea looked particularly beautiful. But this kind of beauty only showed an extreme, cold aura of death.
There were no fish, no birds, not even the sound of waves. When the ship sailed through the sea, Fangzheng could not even hear the familiar sound of the sea hitting the hull of the ship.
This damn place is really strange!
Fangzheng frowned. He stretched out his hand and quietly cast a prophecy spell, but he still could not see anything in front of him. In the eyes of a prophecy mage, everything here was like looking at flowers through a fog. There was no clear shape at all. This made Fangzheng even more vigilant. A place that could block prophecy spells was not a good place, especially for a prophecy mage. Although it was not like Fangzheng would run away without prophecy spells, he had already reached the High Rank in this world.
After all, Fangzheng's strength had reached the highest level in this world. Although he had yet to reach the true Legendary-realm, he knew that it was only a matter of time. Furthermore, his subordinates, Nimf, Tiria, and Hecate, were not weaklings. Hecate was even a Legendary existence. Also, if something went wrong, he could still use his Dimensional Points to open the dimensional channel and summon Belo, Souljah and Sudenan of the Three Pillar Ministers to help him. If it really didn't work, he could even summon Shana to help him. Hmm, Fangzheng was really curious about the power that could kill even the gods, was it really that incredible?
What? What if we can't even stop them?
Then … what else could Fangzheng say? If three Legends and a God of Wrath couldn't stop them, then he would be dead for sure.
As the Black Raven moved forward, the scenery in front of them gradually changed.
Shipwrecks appeared in front of them. Thanks to the clear water, they could almost see every part of these shipwrecks. They quietly sank to the bottom of the water like corpses.
Seeing these shipwrecks, everyone fell silent for a while. No one spoke, and even their breathing became lighter. Forcus had returned to his position, holding the rudder tightly as he stared ahead. The water here was very strange. Because the water was too clear, there was no way to judge the depth of the water with the naked eye. Even Forcus could not determine the depth of these shipwrecks. If he accidentally scraped one of these shipwrecks, his Black Raven might become one of these shipwrecks.
"Ding — Ding —"
Standing at the bow of the ship, Hecate silently raised the staff in his hand and kept shaking it. As for the golden rings on the triangular staff, they collided with Hecate's movements, producing crisp sounds.
According to Captain Forcus, the so-called requiem ceremony was actually the sailors shouting and singing loudly while sailing. Well, that was normal. Sailors who lived at sea all year round did not have the knowledge or culture to set up the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams or pray to the gods for divination.
In fact, in Fangzheng's opinion, it was a bit like whistling at night to boost one's courage. He finally understood why there was such a rule. This place was too strange. There was no sound at all. If the sailors acted as they did before, they would become paranoid after a period of time in such an environment, and might even collapse.
Therefore, everyone stayed on the deck and watched each other. There was no need to worry about anyone going missing. Besides, singing together could boost one's courage. It was killing two birds with one stone.
"Ding —"
Even Fangzheng had to admit that as a Grand Shaman, Hecate was not just a persona. She raised the triangular staff and waved it from time to time. The triangular staff produced a series of crisp and clear sounds, which formed a crisp and holy music that reverberated in everyone's ears.
If Fangzheng had to describe it, the piece that Hecate 'played' gave him the feeling that it was a tune produced by the chimes in ancient palaces. It was unknown what method Hecate had used, but when the six tiny golden rings collided with each other, it produced a melody that was as gentle and beautiful as a piano's. Fangzheng did not know the name of the song, but he could feel the artistic conception contained in it. Unknowingly, Fangzheng felt like he had become a traveler who was on his way. Alone in the wilderness, he walked forward. As far as the eye could see, there seemed to be nothing around him except the endless wilderness.
But the next moment, he suddenly saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky. It hung silently in the dark night sky, shining its bright but not dazzling light on him, showing him the way forward ….
Fangzheng did not lack artistic talent. He had once defeated his father and won the title of the world's number one performer. Because of this, compared to others, he could understand the meaning of Hecate's song better.
And because of this, when he looked at the figure of the girl in a white robe in front of him, for the first time, he felt that … this little girl was really cute.
The three summoned creatures around Fangzheng all had different personalities. Tiria was extroverted and lively, while Nimfu was docile and reserved. Hecate was different from both of them. To be honest, back in Shana's world, Fangzheng did not have much contact with her. Of course, at that time, it was mainly because of the "Big Life Poem" that Hecate put more effort into, so Fangzheng did not know much about this witch. He only knew that the little girl was quite smart, and she even slandered Tiria without saying a word.
But this time, as he listened to Hecate's "music", Fangzheng seemed to feel her feelings — — Hecate did not make it obvious like Tiria and Nimf. On the contrary, she used her own way to express her feelings for Fangzheng. She was like the full moon that had always been there for travelers in the dark night. Whether you paid attention or not, she would always be there. If you noticed it, she would be happy. But if you did not notice it, she would not be angry.
Just like this performance, Hecate was as dedicated as ever, silently expressing her feelings for Fangzheng in this way. If Fangzheng felt it, she would naturally be happy. But if Fangzheng was tone-deaf and could not hear it, she would not mind, because this was what she wanted to do.
What a silly and adorable little girl.
Silently watching Hecate's back, Fangzheng couldn't help but nod. Tiria, who was beside him, blinked her eyes and looked curiously at him, then at Hecate. Tiria was not an idiot. Although her perception of music was not as deep as Fangzheng's, she was extremely sensitive to Fangzheng's feelings. She could sense that after listening to Hecate's performance, her big brother seemed to have a better impression of that little girl who played with stars.
That despicable girl!
Thinking of this, Tiria immediately understood that she had been tricked by Hecate again. She snorted, glared at Hecate, and turned her head away.
But this is not the end. You have caused me so much trouble, sooner or later, I will get back at you!
Thud!!
At that moment, everyone suddenly felt the hull of the ship tremble as if it had hit something. The next moment, Forcus' expression changed drastically.
"Drop the anchor and stop the ship!"
Plop!
As soon as he said that, the well-prepared sailors immediately dropped the anchor. Soon, the Black Raven slowly came to a stop. Forcus hurriedly brought the sailors to the side of the ship and looked down. At the same time, Hecate's performance naturally stopped.
"What's wrong? Captain Forcus? "
"I think we hit something … but there's nothing here?"
Forcus initially thought that he had made a mistake and hit a sunken ship, but when he looked down, he found that there was no sunken ship or reef where he had just sailed. But … what happened just now? As the captain, Forcus knew his ship very well. He was sure that the Black Raven had hit something hard just now!
"Something's not right …"
Fangzheng frowned. He looked around carefully. The gloomy sky, the rippling ocean … Wait a minute …! Could it be …
At that moment, Nimf suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Fangzheng's sleeve. She then looked at her master.
"Master, something's not right here!"
After hearing Nimf's report, Fangzheng no longer hesitated. He raised his hands. Soon, surging magical power took shape on his fingertips. His spirit mixed with power went deep into the sixth circle of magic. At the cost of power, he transformed it into the form he wanted …
