I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"The weather is not very good, and we will soon reach the windless zone. It seems that there is a storm."

Scholar Ah Xiang looked at the gloomy sky ahead and said.

"There will be storms in the calm zone?"

Lu Jian couldn't help asking back.

He doesn't know much about the calm zone, and he's not sure if the calm zone in this era is the same thing as the future one, but since they're all called the calm zone, isn't it a little strange to have the atmospheric movement of the storm? science?

Uh, many things in foreign lands are not very scientific.

"Actually, the storm in the dead zone is a good thing for us because we can travel a lot of distance in the dead zone as long as the wind direction is right."

Ah Xiang did not show a very nervous expression, but relaxed a little.

"I remember furling the sails in case of a storm."

Shia glanced at the white sails blown by the wind on the mainmast.

If the sails are not furled in the strong wind, the ship will soon capsize due to the air current, or the mast will not be able to withstand such a strong wind and break.

Most of the typhoons perceived by humans are weakened by long journeys and land. The real typhoon can only be seen on the sea.

Under the influence of seawater, the air pressure in the center of these typhoons is extremely low, which will break through the limit of human cognition.

Like the one in front of Lu Jian.

In the windless zone, huge cloud clusters have been condensing for the past two days, forming a deep black layer of clouds at this moment, isolating the sky.

There was a wave on the sea, making the sailing of the ship no longer stable.

Looking forward, one can see the pure black clouds, countless lightning flashes and flickers, huge and thick thunderbolts hit the sea, and a fiery silver flower spread out in the dark sea water, illuminating the dark deep sea.

After Lu Jian finished eating, he came to the bow and looked forward.

It can be seen that there is a clear boundary in the sea.

Here beyond the boundaries, the waves surge and ride the wind.

Within the boundaries, the sea is calm, without any waves, like a mirror.

Even when the thunder and lightning fell into the boundary, it looked pale and powerless, as if it possessed some extraordinary power, it resolved all conflicts and contradictions, and returned everything to nothingness.

boom -

During the sound of thunder, Lu Jian saw that the lightning that was trying to break the silence within the boundary began to slow down after entering the field. The original swiftness disappeared, leaving only the slow current gradually building in the air. It took shape, and finally fell into the sea, spreading like fireworks, and annihilated invisibly.

The dead zone appears to be more than just the absence of wind.

It seems that this place completely violates the laws of science, and can make everything that enters the windless zone stagnate and stand still.

"Let me try."

Shia came to Lu Jian's side, condensed a mass of invisible magic power in her hand, and an arrow flew towards the boundary of the windless belt.

A moment later, the invisible arrow entered the windless zone, and it moved forward tenaciously, but finally decayed and disappeared at a distance of several hundred meters after entering the windless zone.

"Not just the wind is stopped, but all movement is gradually stopped as a result of the pollution."

Shia murmured.

If there is no ability to resist pollution, then after entering the windless zone, the airflow will stagnate at first, then the ship will not be able to move, and finally human body functions will fail, and even the growth and reproduction of bacteria will tend to stagnate.

This is the real stagnant space.

For Shia and Lu Jian, these pollutions should not be a problem.

But for the people on board, it is a little troublesome.

Shia glanced at the sailors, then said to Nagamasa.

"Captain, let's wait until night before entering the calm zone."

"Night? Why?"

Changzheng didn't quite understand that the storm was about to spread. If you want to rely on the wind to enter the windless zone, now is the best time. If you wait until night, you may miss it.

The typhoon at sea moved very fast and was fleeting. It was still noon, and after midnight, the typhoon might really leave them.

But since Shia said it, Nagamasa didn't dare to ask more.

He hasn't really been to the windless belt, he's just heard from his seniors, and he's still a little excited now.

"Fill up the sails and pull down everything on the deck."

The captain Changzheng commanded.

The sailors got busy.

Lu Jian knew very well that Shia should wait until midnight to pray for a suitable spell to resist the pollution of the windless zone. Although this matter can actually be handed over to Leopard, but letting an incarnation of an Outer God protect human beings is always a good idea. Something is wrong.

When the sailors cleared the deck and returned to the cabin one after another, the rain began to fall.

At first, it was just light rain, but soon, the rain became heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder, accompanied by waves.

If the anchor is anchored at this time, the ship may not be able to withstand the pull and break directly, and can only drift with the current, relying on its own weight and stability to fight against the storm.

"Let the storm come harder!"

Captain Changzheng stood beside the rudder wheel. He relied on his own steering to control the direction of the ship, so that the bow of the ship faced the direction of the surge, because if the hull of the ship was level with the waves, it would easily intensify the overturn and cause the ship to tip over.

Now that there is no sail power, only Nagamasa's rudder can control the fate of the ship.

The wind was howling, and the thunder was winding like a long snake in the clouds. The sailors sat in their cabins, closed their eyes, and prayed to the gods who didn't know where they were.

At the bottom of the cabin, Shia also closed her eyes tightly, but she was waiting.

At midnight, the ship was engulfed by the storm, and it had reached the edge of the calm zone and the normal sea area, and was about to rush into the calm zone.

Captain Changzheng was drenched all over. He saw a quiet world in front of him. In that silence, madness and terror were brewing.

There was no room for resistance, and the entire ship rushed into the windless zone.

At the same time, in the cabin, Shia opened her eyes.

===813. No wind belt long voyage===

The moment the ship rushed into the windless zone, Nagamasa felt that something had changed.

He heard that the roar of thunder and lightning became low, and the raging storm not far away suddenly calmed down. The noise that filled his ears disappeared, and there was only a silent world.

He felt that even the air was stagnant, his breathing became difficult, the originally light air became heavy, and even his own reactions began to become sluggish.

However, at the next moment, like a spring breeze blowing against his face, Changzheng felt that everything had returned to normal. He took a deep breath of fresh air, turned his head, and looked at the storm behind the boat.

The strong wind outside the windless belt still continued, but in the windless belt, the years were peaceful.

The boat stopped less than [-] meters away from the edge of the windless zone. It seemed that even with the storm, it would be difficult for the boat to take advantage of the situation to go deep.

Or to put it another way, most of those who can sail in the calm zone have some kind of extraordinary ability.

Changzheng looked into the depths of the windless belt, and he saw that the sea water was smooth and flat like a mirror surface, without the slightest sea breeze to make ripples, so he took a button from his pocket and threw it into the sea.

I saw the button submerged in the water, which caused a little spray, but soon, the spray calmed down and returned to its original calm appearance.

"There's really no wind here."

When Nagamasa was feeling emotional, he saw the sailors coming out of the cabin one after another, looking around curiously.

"What are you doing in a daze, take out that device."

Changzheng hastily commanded.

The sailors hurriedly carried the heavy equipment up and installed it at the stern. Chang Zheng poured a barrel of wine, threw the burning wick into the spark plug, and started the steam engine.

"Ok?"

Finding that the machine was unresponsive, he pulled again on the string used to set the piston in motion.

This time, the pleasant sound of the engine running finally sounded.

The propeller turned, and the whole ship began to move slowly.

"It's pretty good, but it's a bit wasteful."

Changzheng sighed with emotion, gulped down a big gulp of the wine in his hand, and then poured the rest into the steam engine.

Lu Jian also came to the deck.

Shia's spells ensured that the surroundings of the ship would not be polluted. Lu Juan looked around with [True Sight], and countless words emerged.

[The power that will make everything stand still surrounds here, don't stop your steps]

[There seem to be some unusual things ahead, be careful]

[If you die here, your body will not decay for hundreds of years, isn't it very touching! 】

[Better keep your voice down, in this quiet place, any movement will attract their attention]

"It seems that there are other creatures here."

This is normal, the treasure map has drawn those monsters, although the windless belt will make everything stand still, but there must be creatures that can rely on their own extraordinary ability to save.

This can also explain that in such a quiet sea area, if something can move normally, it will definitely be noticed by those monsters quickly.

like now.

Lu Jian glanced at the rumbling steam engine.

The next moment, he felt some throbbing.

Coming to the bow of the ship, under the reflection of the starry sky, Lu Jian saw some kind of black shadow gathering under the calm sea ahead.

Pollution attracts each other.

These monsters that can move freely in the windless zone must have endured a lot of pollution, and they will also be eager for other pollution. After catching someone entering the windless zone, they will follow the movement.

In Lu Jian's [True Vision], he could see the whole picture of the monster.

It was a long snake-like monster, about as thick as an oil tanker, with sharp scales covering its body and pale bone armor covering its head, just like the monster drawn in the treasure map.

It's just that Lu Jian saw it clearly this time. It's not that the bones are wrapped outside the skin, but the head itself has only bones.

Without skin and muscle blood vessels, the head was empty, and blue flames shone in the two eyes. The flames also burned violently in the sea water, illuminating a large area of ​​the sea and dimming the stars.
