The Divine Bird Blue Luan and the Whole Gale Eagle also stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the gloomy and chaotic sea ahead.
The Blue Luan turned its head towards Li Jun and chirped a few times.
"Big Brother Teng, Little Blue said that there is no way to cross the two to three thousand Li of the chaotic sea." Li Jun looked towards Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingshan looked at the chaotic sea and said with an unconcerned smile, "It's only two to three thousand Li. This chaotic sea is not much stronger than the Bright Moon Island's Nine Rhythm Treacherous Currents!"
"You guys rest. The tungsten wood vessel will cross this sea tomorrow morning." As Teng Qingshan said this, he turned around and walked towards the mast, lowering the two sails.
Li Jun widened her eyes and said, "Big Brother Teng, you still want to go into the sea?"
"Little Jun, enter the cabin." Teng Qingshan didn't say anything more. He took off his shoes and threw them into the cabin.
He then strode towards the bow of the ship and grabbed the iron chain and carried it on his shoulder. He turned his head and grinned at Li Jun, "Have a good sleep. Come out when the tungsten wood vessel stops shaking. "
"Be careful." Li Jun hastily said.
As soon as the words were spoken, Teng Qingshan leaped up and dived into the chaotic and gloomy sea like a sharp arrow.
"Plop!" Water splashed everywhere.
The iron chain continued to go deeper into the sea. Soon, with a clang, the iron chain became taut.
"Walla ~ ~"
A vigorous and unparalleled force passed through the iron chain to the entire tungsten wood vessel. The tungsten wood vessel, which was originally advancing slowly, suddenly sped up — —
Boom — —
It cut through the waves!
The tungsten wood vessel was like a swordfish as it rapidly charged into the chaotic sea.
The sudden increase in speed caused Li Jun to involuntarily take two steps back. "Screech ~ ~ screech ~ ~" When the Whole Gale Eagle and Blue Luan realized that the tungsten wood vessel's speed had increased, they also cried out excitedly.
Their cries echoed in the sky above the sea!
The tungsten wood vessel broke through the waves and advanced at an astonishing speed in the Demonic Sea, a place that people of the Northern Sea Continent feared.
… …
Night fell, but the tungsten wood vessel still advanced rapidly.
Dawn arrived, but the tungsten wood vessel did not slow down.
The sun rose from the horizon and gradually rose higher until it hung high in the west of the sky. Only then did the tungsten wood vessel finally leave the chaotic sea area.
*****
On the afternoon of the second day after the tungsten wood vessel left the chaotic sea, the ocean appeared to be very calm. The tungsten wood vessel also slowly advanced towards the north.
On the deck of the tungsten wood vessel.
"Screech ~ ~" The Whole Gale Eagle held an Iron Leaf Fruit in its beak and carefully placed it beside the Blue Luan.
The Green Luan glanced at it, then closed its eyes to rest, not eating at all.
Seeing this, the Whole Gale Eagle blinked its eyes helplessly.
"Big Brother Teng, look at Little Grey and Little Blue." Li Jun was grinning so much that her eyes turned into crescent moons. At this moment, "Little Jun, look!" Teng Qingshan's voice rang out. Li Jun turned her head in surprise and saw Teng Qingshan pointing to the northwest.
In the northwest direction, there was an island.
"Big Brother Teng, we saw an island before, but it was a deserted island." Li Jun scrutinized the island in the distance and said, "Could it be that there are people on this island?!"
"Smoke!"
Teng Qingshan's eyes lit up as he looked at the island. With his eyesight, he could indeed see the thick smoke on the distant island.
"If there are people, then there should be people." Teng Qingshan quickly lowered the sail and used both hands to paddle the two oars. His powerful strength caused the oars to paddle extremely quickly and powerfully.
"Walla ~ ~"
The tungsten wood vessel immediately sped up and sped towards the island.
After a moment — —
"It is indeed thick smoke." Li Jun said in surprise.
Teng Qingshan smiled, but his heart was filled with emotions. He had been on the road for half a year. To be exact, he had stayed on the Bright Moon Island for nearly four months. He had been out at sea for nearly a year.
"I finally saw the people of the Northern Sea Continent." Teng Qingshan's gaze suddenly swept across the distant sea.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan frowned.
In the distant sea, there was a huge ship departing from the other side of the island ahead. Because the distance was too far, even though it was a huge ship, it was only the size of a finger at Teng Qingshan's position.
"Does this island have a fleet that communicates with the outside world?" Teng Qingshan thought to himself.
While pondering, the tungsten wood vessel quickly reached the shore.
"Big Brother Teng, there are definitely people on this island. Moreover, there are quite a few of them! "Li Jun said confidently.
"Oh?" Teng Qingshan smiled as he looked at Li Jun.
"Look at the beach, there are quite a few footprints." Li Jun pointed and said.
Teng Qingshan smiled as he dropped the iron anchor and stopped the tungsten wood vessel.
"Let's get off the boat." Teng Qingshan picked up his Reincarnation Spear and jumped off the tungsten wood vessel with Li Jun.
"Screech ~ ~" Blue Luan immediately flew over and simultaneously turned its head towards the Whole Gale Eagle and screeched twice. The Whole Gale Eagle immediately let out a high-pitched screech and obediently circled above the tungsten wood vessel before returning to the deck of the tungsten wood vessel.
Li Jun covered her mouth as she laughed, "Big Brother Teng, Little Blue asked Little Grey to stay behind and watch the boat."
"It can't be helped. It just isn't willing. With Blue Luan's strength, it has no choice but to be obedient. "Teng Qingshan also laughed. The relationship between the Whole Gale Eagle and Blue Luan was also a topic that Teng Qingshan and Li Jun often talked about and laughed about.
"Let's go and take a look at the island."
Teng Qingshan glanced at Li Jun and said, "Follow by my side and don't go away." Li Jun could feel Teng Qingshan's concern, so she responded and obediently followed by Teng Qingshan's side. Blue Luan flew above Teng Qingshan and the others.
The island wasn't small.
After Teng Qingshan and Li Jun walked for about half a Li, on a desolate road, Teng Qingshan's complexion slightly changed.
"What's wrong?" Li Jun asked in surprise.
"A burnt smell!" Teng Qingshan's eyes sharpened as he said, "The smell of burnt corpses!"
"Ah." Li Jun sucked in a breath of cold air.
Teng Qingshan's six senses were very sensitive. Although they were far away, Li Jun couldn't smell it. However, Teng Qingshan had already smelled it. "Big Brother Teng, what happened on this island? The smell of burnt corpses? Could it be that you smelled it wrong? "Li Jun couldn't believe it.
"It can't be wrong." Teng Qingshan frowned and held the Reincarnation Spear.
They walked for another four to five Li.
Teng Qingshan and Li Jun arrived at a place where humans lived.
"This, this is —" Li Jun's complexion turned slightly pale.
Teng Qingshan narrowed his eyes and a cold glint flickered in his eyes. On the ground in front of them, corpses were scattered everywhere. Some of the corpses had their heads chopped off, some had a big bloody hole in their chest, and some pieces of the corpses were scattered everywhere.
Some of the wooden houses and the like were constantly burning, and from time to time, crackling sounds could be heard.
Just by looking at the corpses in front of him, he could see that there were at least over a hundred corpses.
"Massacre?" Teng Qingshan was puzzled. Even in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, massacres would still incur the wrath of both men and gods. Some bandits and horse bandits would only occasionally slaughter a village in order to intimidate the other villages.
In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, massacres were very rare.
"Li Jun." Teng Qingshan noticed that Li Jun's complexion was pale, and her eyes were strange.
"Little Jun, what's wrong?" Teng Qingshan walked over and placed his hand on Li Jun's shoulder.
Li Jun immediately hugged Teng Qingshan as tears streamed down her face. Teng Qingshan's mind was quite sharp. Suddenly, he remembered … … that year, Li Jun's entire family was also massacred by bandits. Her entire family died, and only she and her mother managed to escape. In the end, even her mother was killed.
Massacre … …
"Sigh … …" Teng Qingshan patted Li Jun's back lightly.
After a while, Li Jun calmed down and came out of Teng Qingshan's embrace. She whispered, "Big Brother Teng, I'm sorry. I made your clothes wet."
"It's okay." Teng Qingshan comforted, "Little Jun, learn to be strong!"
"Yes!" Li Jun lifted her head and looked at Teng Qingshan as she nodded.
"Let's go and see if there are any survivors on this island." Teng Qingshan felt that Li Jun's mind was in a mess, so he held Li Jun's hand and walked forward.
The two of them walked forward.
Li Jun lifted her head and looked at Teng Qingshan in front of her. His tall figure, his resolute gaze, and the thick hand that was holding her felt waves of warmth. Li Jun was like a small boat that had found a harbor. Her heart calmed down.
A shy smile appeared on her face as Li Jun let Teng Qingshan hold her hand and walked forward.
… …
On the pirate island, Teng Qingshan held Li Jun's hand and walked for a while. Along the way, they saw corpses everywhere. There were about seven to eight hundred corpses! Including those that Teng Qingshan didn't see … … there were probably no less than a thousand corpses on the entire island.
Not a single survivor!
"They are really ruthless!" Teng Qingshan looked at the thick smoke around him and suddenly recalled the big ship he saw before they reached the shore. He thought to himself, "There is a high chance that so many people died on this island. It must have been done by the people on that ship! "
"Big Brother Teng." Li Jun pointed at an obviously tall house not far away and said, "Look at the ground over there."
Teng Qingshan swept his gaze and immediately fixed his eyes on the ground. A half-burned, incomplete book was lying on the ground.
"Book?" Teng Qingshan was delighted.
"Yes … … Emperor Yu went to the Northern Sea Continent several thousand years ago! Now, several thousand years have passed in the Northern Sea Continent. Who knows what will happen? "Teng Qingshan was very clear about this.
According to Emperor Yu, when Emperor Yu was still alive, the population of the Nine Prefectures was only a few hundred million.
Now, it was ten times more!
After several thousand years, what would the Northern Sea Continent become? No one knew.
"Book!" Teng Qingshan immediately ran over and picked up the book. For Teng Qingshan … … it was better to rely on books to increase his understanding of the Northern Sea Continent.
Teng Qingshan and Li Jun both stared at the incomplete book. The cover was yellow bast paper and they opened it to take a look.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan frowned.
Li Jun also blinked her eyes.
"Big Brother Teng … …" Li Jun looked at Teng Qingshan, and Teng Qingshan looked back at Li Jun. Their expressions were as innocent as they could be.
"This is what I am most afraid of!" Teng Qingshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The words on the book were also square characters, but every stroke and stroke was much more awkward. Every word was like a painting.
"I can't read!" Li Jun's face was filled with helplessness.
She was a young girl from a rich family and had been taught well since she was young. She knew the four arts: zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. But now … … she couldn't read and became illiterate.
"This is what I'm most worried about! When Emperor Yu came to the Northern Sea Continent, the Northern Sea Continent already had millions of people. By that time, the words would have already been formed! Although there had been some changes over the course of thousands of years, it was still an inheritance. However, it's impossible for it to be exactly the same as the writing of the Nine Prefectures. "Teng Qingshan shook his head and smiled helplessly." I didn't expect that I would also become illiterate. Even if I get the book, I won't be able to understand it. "
