…… For several days, the ship remained stuck in the seemingly endless fog. People were gradually becoming exhausted, and the captain was also losing his patience. He hoisted the sails without caring about others and tried to speed up in an unpredictable direction to break through the white fog. But even so, it was of no use. The ocean currents and wind directions became increasingly bizarre, and the fog became increasingly dense. After trying so hard for so long, the ship not only failed to leave, but instead got deeper and deeper into the water. At this point, when the captain measured the wind direction again, he gradually realized that the strong wind was slowly turning in one direction. He tried to escape from that direction as quickly as possible, but the force of the wind had such a huge impact on the ship that it was difficult to stop. Afterwards, he sent people to explore the sea conditions. When he detected the strange direction of the ocean current, he finally understood - it turned out that the fleet had fallen into an enormous whirlpool. The thick fog completely obscured the shape of the vortex, making it difficult to detect.
I don’t know how big this strange vortex is, and how I can escape from it. …… On the deck, the captain was reporting the current predicament to the demon master who had magical powers and could still hold the last bit of hope: "Sir, I'm afraid that we were sucked into the vortex as soon as we entered the fog. We just couldn't notice it at first. It became clear when we fell to the deepest part... but now it's too late." "The ship's speed is not enough to escape the whirlpool now, unless a strong wind blows up the sails... But the wind direction in this area is not accurate, and it is more likely that we will plunge into the whirlpool faster and there is no way to escape." Xi Heng stood quietly beside the ship, looking calmly at the increasingly thick white fog. She could see dozens of meters before, but now she can only see a dozen meters. Xi Heng also heard some sounds of water waves and could sense that the water waves seemed to be rotating. What the captain of the boat said should be correct. Although it is no longer visible now, the ship has indeed been caught in the whirlpool and is sinking deeper. As for how to get out of it, Xi Heng already had an idea in his mind. However, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy... While thinking silently, she raised her eyes to look at the folded sail, wondering if there was any other way. Perhaps it would be possible to use the sword technique to stir up a strong wind, creating a powerful tornado, which could push the canvas and provide some power to the ship. However, this is more likely to cut the canvas and the pole together, and the energy and blood of the Hua Jin warrior cannot last for too long, so he cannot directly push the boat out of the whirlpool. What's more, there is more than just one ship here. Xi Heng glanced back and saw from afar many thick hemp ropes connected to the side of the large ship, linking it to other ships. The hemp rope went deep into the fog and the other end could not be seen. The thick hemp rope certainly does not serve as a dragging function, but rather indicates the direction of the large ship to other ships.
Being in heavy fog, we had to resort to this crude method. If the other ships were separated from the main ship, they would surely be doomed. "Perhaps all the other people who wanted to sail on the ocean in the past have failed here?" Xi Heng thought silently. The extremely thick fog obscures the vision, the chaotic magnetic field makes people lose their way, and there is even a whirlpool that constantly attracts ships to fall in... This is simply a deadly sea. No matter how big mortal ships are, they will never be able to get past this place unless there is technological advancement. In order to escape, one must have enough power and a fast enough speed - which is quite difficult to do. "It is basically a dead end for mortals to come to this place, so those who said they wanted to cross Chonghai were unable to return and did not leave any information..." "But I am not mortal." After she pondered for a while, she turned her gaze back to the captain who looked exhausted and said to him: "I will do my best to resolve this matter tomorrow. Just be ready and continue sailing." "Yes!" Xi Heng ignored him, walked around the deck alone for a while, and then returned to the cabin. Coming to the long table in the cabin, she threw the Chi Ling Tian Fa aside, turned her five fingers, and grabbed her own Xue Hai Da Fa from the inventory like magic. After taking it out, he slapped it on the table, turned directly to the last few pages, and reread the most powerful spells in it. …… The next morning, the fog became even thicker. The visible range of ordinary mortals decreased again. Even though the captain did not leak the news that the fleet had fallen into the whirlpool, people spontaneously felt a vague sense of unease in their hearts. It was as if there was some ghostly monster in the fog staring at them. The thick fog that never dissipates, the strange cold wind from the sea, the strange sound of the water... All these make people wonder whether this place might be their burial place. But before this panic could break out and produce a camp-like roaring consequence. Xi Heng had already sat cross-legged on the dragon head at the bow of the ship, looking around quietly. A few hints of dawn gradually brighten. When dawn rose and the sky became brighter, the girl slowly stood up. Now, almost all the exposed surface of her skin was covered with strange blood-colored lines. Only on the palm, there were some unique patterns painted in the shape of swaying candlelight. Xi Heng grabbed pieces of blue spirit stones from the bag he brought with him and placed them safely around his waist. When a few rays of yellow light appeared in the sky, the girl clenched her ten fingers and chanted a spell.
The fire pattern on the palm of his hand fluctuated, and the raging fire shot up into the sky as before. But this time, Xi Heng used dozens of times more spiritual energy to participate—— The blue and green spirit stones all around him glowed brightly, and the raging fire that shot up into the sky expanded rapidly. The surge of spiritual energy amplified the spell, and a cluster of fire that looked like a blooming flower spread into a heat that threatened to burn the entire world. Xi Heng suddenly pushed his right arm diagonally upwards, and the raging flames in the sky almost replaced the white fog and covered the vision of everyone on the boat. The flames broke through the white mist, and half of the sky was burned red, as if the sky was on fire. The fog quickly dissipated, and the raging fire continued to roar into the distance, spanning an unknown number of hundreds of meters. The long wind driven by the raging fire might have reached more than a thousand meters. The flames filled the sky and the mist around the ships burned extremely thin, and the flames spread rapidly within people's sight. After the raging fire that had been erupting for several minutes finally died down, the flames in the sky turned into pieces of residual light and dissipated bit by bit. Xi Heng finally saw a few rays of sunlight shining from the east. After determining the direction, Xi Heng turned his gaze downwards again. If you lower your eyes, you can see large patches of ripples on the sea surface, which are connected and combined with each other, and vaguely show the shape of many arcs that are constantly rotating inward. "Sure enough...I'm already deeply trapped in the vortex." A fire method is just to determine the direction. Next, she broke free from the constraints for the fleet. ………… Chapter 90: A ray of hope The water flow seems to be pulled by an invisible force, spinning rapidly along a spiral trajectory. The sea surface does not seem to be turbulent and rough, but is much calmer than during a rainstorm or hurricane. But in fact, the situation at this moment is more dangerous than the surging tsunami waves. If the waves are like a violent beast and come at you high up, just do your best to reduce the shaking of the boat. Once you inadvertently enter this constantly rotating sea vortex, you will sink deeper and deeper without realizing it, and it will be difficult to escape. The large ship must have sufficient speed to escape. This large wooden ship without an engine can only rely on the wind to help it escape. However, the wind direction here is also abnormal and chaotic, and it will move to the opposite direction after a while. Expecting the cooperation of the long wind will only lead to worse results. Falling into this seemingly calm vortex is actually a dead end. All most people can do is wait for death and struggle desperately in vain. But this is Xi Heng's boat, and she is not an ordinary person. This huge whirlpool on the Sea of Chong could swallow up all mortal ships, but it could not swallow hers.
Not to mention just a larger whirlpool sea area, even if the ship was swept by a hurricane and was about to be torn into pieces, and hit by violent waves that were more than ten meters high, she could still save it. After all, what she was going to perform on the sea today was the Blood Sea Overturning Technique— Due to the fierce fire, the strange shape of the water flow at the corners of the whirlpool has appeared before his eyes. Xi Heng is now chanting in a low voice: "My blood is the ocean and I am the fire, sweeping the world and washing away all things for reality..." At the same time, the others on the boat suddenly paused in their exclamations at the sight of the blazing fire. Suddenly, a strange and distorted language sounded in everyone's ears. "Love and body are both tainted, life and soul are both tainted——" The murmur was extremely strange and vague, and should have been difficult to understand, but the meaning of the words could penetrate deeply into people's hearts along with the sound. Not far away, the Goddess Chitian, who was imprisoned in the cabin, looked out the window, looked at the figure on the bow, and frowned slightly. The sound of the spell traveled through the air dozens of meters long and fell into her ears very clearly. She just felt something extremely weird. When I opened my eyes, I saw the color of the sky and sea. But when he closed his eyes and listened to the curse, what appeared in his mind along with the sound was replaced by rich blood and scarlet. It seemed that the boat she was on was not floating on the clear blue sea, but was drifting on a thick and sticky sea of blood. The next moment, the countless hands reaching out from the sea of blood would sink to the bottom of the sea. "What kind of spell is this?" A strong sense of panic and uneasiness filled her heart, causing her mind to tremble slightly. Previously, when she saw Xi Heng expending three full spirit stones to create a vast array of flames, she only felt it was a bit spectacular and wasteful. And now that the second spell was activated, she felt a sense of horror in her heart. It seems that a demon is about to descend upon the world and will brutally kill everyone... The boatmen and sailors also felt unspeakable fear, but they didn't know where the fear came from, and they were all at a loss. Xi Heng whispered a spell at the front, and the blood marks on his body turned into light spots that floated in the air, and his skin returned to its fair color. And all around him, countless red firefly-like dots of light were growing larger and larger. The red light spread around the giant ship and also connected with other small boats that followed it, slowly surrounding it like elves. The fleet was no longer surrounded by only white fog, but also by a strange red light. The girl who was manipulating the red dots reached forward and moved them gently. Blood-red spirit stones appeared out of thin air, emitting an exceptionally strange red glow. "Is this... a spiritual stone?" The Goddess of Scarlet Sky, who was watching from afar, felt the familiar spiritual energy wave and opened her eyes wide:
"so much?" From afar, one can see hundreds of spirit stones floating in front of Xi Heng. At the beginning, when Chen Fenghuo was fighting with Xi Heng, she only used magic once. She thought she lost just because of one wrong move. Now that I saw so many spirit stones arranged neatly, I finally understood that the other party didn't put in any effort at all at that time.
