Chapter 139 Discovering Infinite Progress
At this time, Long Xuan sat in the stern of the dragon boat that was flying rapidly to the east.
Soon a familiar scent of fragrance hit her, and Long Ziyan, who had the same habit as her, sat on his right.
Then he sat there and read quietly. The book he was flipping through was still the same kind of ancient theology book, but it was a different one.
Long Xuan adheres to the principle of not being too overwhelmed with art, and has already taken the time to study divine literature for himself, so he can still understand the contents of her book.
I lost interest after just a few glances. The book records the history of a certain period of time, which is boring. Stories that happened in ancient times can sometimes be of great use, but most of them are useless.
At this time, another gust of wind passed by. Long Ruoxue sat generously on his left, tilted her chin and looked at him, and asked straight to the point: "The formation you designed is very exquisite, but it only uses a basic formation." The magic can trap a third-level formation master. It’s amazing. I still haven’t found the rules of that world’s maze.”
"So far, this is the only large formation that has left me completely helpless. Can you lend me the formation map of this formation? I can exchange it with you for a long-lost formation map."
However, before Long Xuan could answer, Long Qian angrily shouted: "Nonsense! You can also inquire about the formation diagram of other people's cave protection formations? Have you forgotten the unwritten rules of the Gu world?"
There is an unwritten rule in the Gu world, that is, you cannot ask for other people’s formation diagrams of cave protection formations, no matter how familiar you are with them.
Because once the cave master gives you the formation map, you can enter and exit his cave-protecting formation at will. If the formation map is circulated in your hands, more people can enter the formation.
Hence, every cave master will not hand over his cave protection formation map to others, no matter how familiar he is with that person.
So you'd better not talk too much. If you ask the cave master for the secret of the formation to protect the cave, you are breaking a taboo. Smart guests will not mention it. This has become an unwritten rule.
Of course Long Ruoxue knew this rule, but she was just too curious. If she didn’t solve the secret of the maze, she would feel uncomfortable all over. She couldn’t eat or sleep well. She was famously a fanatic.
Long Xuan smiled at her and said, "Buddha said, don't say it! Don't say it!"
What a joke, how could he hand over the formation map to her, even if she exchanged it with him for something more valuable? Even if Di Xin asked for it, he wouldn't give it to her, let alone her?
…
Two months later.
On the dragon boat, Long Qilin looked down from time to time. It was his first time traveling far away. He was in high spirits and was the most active person on the boat.
"Why do we fly so low? And keep flying along the coastline? Flying along the coast must be a long way around, right?" Long Qilin asked doubtfully.
The Far West Land is a crescent-shaped peninsula connected to the Western Land on the map. The narrow part connected to the Western Land is covered by a forest.
This forest is the size of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. There are countless ferocious spiritual beasts in it. It is very dangerous to travel through the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Even the Gu King is not absolutely sure.
Since this road couldn't be taken, the only option was to take the sea route. But what Long Qilin didn't expect was that they didn't fly straight across the ocean, but flew at low altitude along the shore. He was very puzzled.
Long Qian came over and explained with a smile: "It's very simple. If the high-altitude flying target is too obvious, it will be easily attacked by flying spirit beasts, so you can only fly at low altitude in this place. Even so, there is a lot of risk."
“The reason why we don’t cross the ocean in a straight line is because we have many concerns. There are many ferocious spiritual beasts in the depths of the ocean, and they are even more difficult to deal with than the land spiritual beasts.”
"We are traveling in a small boat. The small boat has a small area and the number of patterns it can carve is limited. Therefore, its defense is insufficient and it will be destroyed even if it is touched by a spiritual beast."
“Once the ship breaks down in the middle of the ocean, our fate can be imagined, and we can only end up being buried in the sea.”
"Although the best boat-like spiritual weapons in this world can fly, there are also many flying spiritual beasts in the water, such as dragon-like spiritual beasts. The boat is slow and the only way to die is if it is targeted by the sea dragon."
"So small boats cannot enter the deep sea. The only ones that can sail in the deep sea are large ships. There are enough weapon patterns and formations carved on the large ships, and the defenses can withstand the attacks of spiritual beasts in the sea."
“A more powerful ship is covered with killing arrays and can even hunt sea dragons. The sea dragons are full of treasures and can be sold for a sky-high price when dragged to the land.”
“This is also a way to make money. Some forces earn huge amounts of wealth by going to the deep sea to hunt sea dragons.”
“But big ships are not that easy to build. There are very few forces that can build large ships. There is no force in the Western Territory that has the technology to build large ships.”
“This world is divided into one part land and nine parts ocean, and it is divided into thousands of sea areas on the map.”
“Each sea area has different levels of danger and has different requirements for spiritual ships. Often, the larger the ship, the more sea areas it can navigate.”
“The most dangerous sea area can only be navigated by ninth-grade spiritual ships. Gee, I don’t know which force has the technology to build ninth-grade spiritual ships.”
“The larger the ship, the more resources it consumes. God knows how many resources a ninth-grade spiritual ship consumes.”
“However, the most dangerous sea areas are definitely places that are difficult for humans to set foot in. The more difficult a place is for humans to set foot in, the more treasures there are.”
“Even if the cost of building a ninth-grade spiritual ship is astronomical, it is easy to recoup the cost by going to the most dangerous sea areas.”
Long Qian showed a look of longing. Making big ships also requires the use of formations. This is also one of the fields of his research. He is determined to develop big ship technology for his family and open up a way for the family to make money. In this way, he can also It will be remembered in the history of the family.
Hearing his words, Long Xuan subconsciously thought about researching big ship technology? However, the Five Elements Inversion Formation was moved to the aircraft carrier and roamed the sea unscrupulously. But he just subconsciously thought about it. He couldn't use the big ship now, so why should he build it? However, in the future, the big ship must be included in his own plan.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. It has been bumpy for so long. Let’s stop and rest for a while. If you want to go to the toilet, hurry up. If anyone is in a hurry later, I will not stop for someone alone.”
With that said, Long Qian drove the dragon boat and flew towards a small island below.
Long Lie laughed: "Haha, I should have stopped a long time ago. I'm almost exhausted. If there wasn't a **** the boat, I would have peed while standing on the boat."
“Aren’t you afraid of peeing on your face?”
Long Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. He would pour a sip of wine into his mouth from time to time. How could he not urinate too much? It was a miracle that his bladder didn't explode.
It didn’t take long for the dragon boat to land. Before the boat landed, everyone jumped off the boat eagerly. It was very uncomfortable to sit on the boat for too long.
Long Lie ran the fastest, and it looked like he was really suffocating.
"You guys make a fire, and I'll go catch some game. I've almost faded away from the bird after staying on the boat for so long."
Long Qilin was the second to rush into the depths of the island, preparing to kill some spiritual beasts and bring them back for barbecue.
The rest of the people on the boat were not idle either. They walked towards the depths of the island, preparing to see what elixirs or treasures they could find in the depths of the island, and to catch some prey along the way.
Long Ruoxue sat on the boat and did not move, continuing to study the messy map in her hand, as if she was possessed by a demon, with a posture of vowing not to give up until the Rubik's Cube was solved.
“I’ll leave it to you to make the fire, and I’ll catch some fish.”
Long Xuan didn't want to be idle either. After taking off most of his clothes, he jumped directly into the sea.
At this time, the only person who could make a fire was Long Ziyan. Long Ziyan could only put down the book in his hand and go looking for wood.
After Long Xuan jumped into the water, he ordered the other clones to go fishing, while he himself swam directly to the deepest part of the sea with a clear goal.
Tadigrades are good at withstanding stress and are also very resistant to oxygen. They can live for a long time without oxygen. Especially after turning into a Gu insect, its various abilities are even more exaggerated.
He was fully capable of surviving in the deep sea environment. He swam deeper and deeper, using the ability of Stepping Stars to ignore resistance in the water. He swam so fast that he didn't know how deep he had swum in the blink of an eye.
If Long Qian knew how deep he had dived, he would be shocked. When he dived into such a deep sea, he didn't know how long he would have to hold in the oxygen and how much water pressure he would have to withstand. Even the King of Gu would not be able to survive in that kind of depth. Deeply involved.
Long Xuan didn’t know how long he had been submerged, nor how many meters he had penetrated into the sea. His Tianmeng Soul Armor was already emitting a dark black light due to the terrible pressure it endured.
Finally, when he was hesitating whether to continue diving, he finally touched the bottom of the sea.
Touching the soil under his feet, he looked thoughtful.
The reason why he wanted to dive into the bottomless trench was because he saw progress at this location, and it was represented by the symbol ∞ of infinity.
Once this symbol appears, it means that there must be a shocking treasure here. Although he doesn't know what this treasure is, it is definitely a good thing and worth his trouble to get it.
It was precisely because of this thing below that he sent a message from his soul to Long Qian, saying that it should be convenient, otherwise the ship would not have stopped at this place by chance.
But now it seems that the shocking treasure did not fall on the bottom of the sea, but was buried under the bottom of the sea, which is a bit difficult to handle.
It is quite difficult to dig soil under the terrifying pressure of the seabed, and there is no light here, so there may be some dangers.
Even if he asked his clone to do this, it would still take a lot of time, and the people on the ship obviously wouldn't wait for him that long.
His eyes scanned around the bottom of the sea and found that there was a lot of progress deep in the bottom of the sea, but they were all buried in various locations very deep.
Long Xuan suddenly showed a look of surprise. Isn't it a large ancient tomb buried underneath?
Although he couldn't see clearly what was buried underneath, it couldn't possibly be a mineral vein. The progress of the mineral vein should be dense.
If the treasures are scattered here and there, then the possibility of it being an ancient tomb is really great. Long Xuan's breathing quickened and his eyes showed excitement.
After the last tomb robbery, he felt that his ability was born to rob tombs. Treasures that even the King of Gu could not take away could be easily taken away by his abilities. Now he is addicted to tomb robbing.
There is no other way, the money from tomb robbing is so fast, just finding one is enough to make his net worth skyrocket.
Moreover, the world's top treasures are difficult to find even at auctions, but they can be easily obtained in tombs. He is now really curious about the treasure below that shows infinity and can't wait to get it. dig it out.
But at this time he was really in trouble. When digging a robbery hole here, sea water would have to be poured in. Everything in the tomb might be destroyed by then, and it would be more difficult to obtain it.
