Chapter 260 Paranormal Disasters
On the fantastic and mysterious sea of the Transcendent World, risks are everywhere.
In addition to the extreme Celestial Phenomenon such as tsunami and rainstorm, there are many strange disasters that belong to this world alone, which can be called “supernatural disasters”.
“Black Embankment”, “Blue Hole”, and “Broken Head Wave” are three typical representatives.
The threat to surface ships and seafarers has always existed since humans went out of the waters and sailed in the open seas.
Destructive power and danger are indistinguishable!
Among them, the “dead end wave” is the easiest to understand, and the wizards have the most abundant research materials on it.
Obviously, in the study of this dangerous natural disaster, wizards with both strength and intellectual curiosity have many advantages over pure scholars.
“Breakhead waves” are in the deep-sea Sea Territory, and the sudden peaks and troughs far exceed the strange waves of the same kind.
It is said that the biggest “dead wave” ever witnessed, the height difference is close to 40 meters!
It should be known that even in the wind and wave height comparison table compiled by the Iron Cross Church of “Kingdom and Navigation Goddess”, the wave height caused by a Level 12 hurricane with a maximum of 37 meters per second is only 15 meters.
It is conceivable that the “decapitation wave” can really be decapitated!
Even the most powerful Level 1 battleship representing the Mortal World of mankind will be easily broken like a weak straw if it encounters such a “decapitation wave” in the open sea.
Then, I was sent a one-way ticket to the seabed by the deep valley of the “dead end wave” and completely disappeared into the sea.
Clean, not even the tiniest piece of board will be left!
The principle of “Blue Hole” is that even the knowledgeable wizards of various universities are a little uncertain.
Through year-round observation and historical data collection, it can only be determined that its strange effect is: random transmission!
A blue water hole with a diameter ranging from several kilometers to dozens of kilometers appeared on the calm sea without warning, and then all the seawater, fish, shrimp, algae and even passing ships in this area, will be randomly transmitted to another place by the magical power.
It could be another Sea Territory, it could be on land, it could even be in the sky.
Eighty years ago, the Southern Continent colony of the Kingdom of Phalatis reported a sky-ship crash, which caused heavy damage to a plantation, but fortunately no casualties were reported.
Of course, if not counting the original crew members on the ship
More “Blue Hole” victims were disappeared without a trace and never appeared in front of the world again.
Some people speculate that the destination of the “Blue Hole” may be more likely to be seabed in the deep sea, or even another world!
This is also the main reason why no powerful wizard dares to enter the blue hole and try it out for himself.
Compared with the first two, the “black embankment” may not be so harmful directly, but its impact on this world is far more profound!
Because it has a direct connection with the owned “shadow world”.
The “Shadow World” is a fantasy world that parallels and coexists with the material world of human life.
This world also has mountains, rivers, continents, oceans and even various human city buildings.
But everything in it is distorted, full of black and white contrasts, and the colors are monotonous and boring, a place no normal human would want to stay for a long time.
The so-called “black embankment” is a peculiar phenomenon that occurs when the “shadow world” and the material world overlap and overlap at a certain moment.
In most cases, things that exist in the shadow world will randomly manifest in this world!
Of course, if it were a barren piece of land in the shadow world manifesting in a place where the material world deserted, it wouldn’t matter.
As long as the world is separated after a period of time, the “black embankment” will naturally disappear.
But if a powerful shadow world creature’s lair becomes a “black embankment” and descends into a prosperous human city, it must be a terrifying disaster no less than the invasion of Evil God!
However, this time Alwin’s luck was bad, but not terribly bad.
First of all, what they encountered was not the expected “Mother of Sea Monsters” to kill chickens.
Secondly, the scale of the “black embankment” that appeared this time is not too large, just an annular island reef formed by two reefs.
The radius of the island reef is about seven kilometers, and the middle is low all around and high, which just encloses the “Storm Horn” that did not dodge in time in the middle lagoon.
There is even a gap in the north and south directions that communicates with the outside seawater, but it is too thin and too shallow to allow the “Storm Horn” to pass through.
Unfortunately, from the “surface”, it seems that there are no large shadow creatures smuggling over on the island and reef, or there is no shadow of any shadow creatures.
Aside from being trapped unable to move even a little bit, the Horn of the Storm is not in any danger for the time being.
Conversely.
If you are unlucky, this time it happens to hit a large “black embankment” invasion event.
It may be that the tsunami caused by the overlapping of the boundaries can make the “Cape Storm” directly buried in the sea, not to mention the powerful alien creatures that enter the material world together with the “Black Dike”.
“Alwin, according to the information I have read before, the existence of the ‘black embankment’ is uncertain.
It is possible from a few hours to a few years, the smaller the scale, the disappearance The faster it will be.
I think the duration of a ‘black embankment’ of this size may be between half a day to two days. Do you think we should wait for it to disappear naturally, or go up and see What?”
Since it was certain that it would not be permanently trapped, Milan began to be eager to have a try.
The more major events you experience, the faster your ability to “see” will improve. A small probability event like the “black embankment” can be hit by oneself.
Milan was not answered directly.
sou! sou! sou!
A group of needle-tailed swifts have been teleported out under the command of Alwin, lining up to pull the net on the suddenly appearing island reconnaissance.
The three armies have not moved the intelligence first!
The island is not too large and the terrain is not complicated, and the reconnaissance work carried out by a group of pintail swifts from the air is extremely fast.
The feedback quickly reached Alwin’s heart: ‘No shadow of any animal, safe! ‘
The island is safe, at least from the point of view of the seabirds.
As for whether there is something hidden in the ground or in the tiny crevices of the rock, they are really powerless with their abilities, which is also the flaw that Alwin is preparing to improve in the next step.
In fact, “Garriott Bird Transformation 3.0” was already put on the agenda when it got the inheritance of “Living Chemical School”.
I just want to achieve the effect that Alwin envisioned, and his current apprentice-level spellcasting ability is still a little underwhelming.
The renovation design has been completed, just wait for the official breakthrough of your own wizard to officially start!
“Come on, Milan and Gary follow me, the others stay behind ‘Cape Storm’.
Level 2 alert! Gunners are ready to support anytime!”
Passive waiting has never been Alwin’s style. Even if you don’t do anything, you have to wait for a day or so. It’s better to go to this island and find out.
Even if there is any real danger, it is much better to be detonated when all the personnel are on high alert than to be unknowingly stolen from the tower.
So, Alwin raised the alert level of the Cape Storm before he set off, just in case.
“Your Excellency Captain! The gunner is in place!”
With the three of them walking together, Alwin no longer uses [Wave Jump] for convenience, but obediently and honestly put down a longboat , rowing toward the nearest shoal from Cape Storm.
Boom——
Soon, the longboat was directly paddled on a pure black sand beach, and the bottom of the longboat gently hit a reef and stopped completely.
Gary himself dragged the longboat ashore like a leaf to prevent it from being swept away by the sea.
“Alert formation, let’s go!”
This time, Gary, who has been equipped with heavy armor, is at the front. This is from the “Alchemy Tool” of the “Alchemy School”. and high level stuff from the “Enchanting Engineering” branch.
In addition to the absolute hardness, the biggest advantage is that it floats on the water!
At this time, Alwin finally got his wish and enjoyed the treatment of a noble sorcerer.
Although, the actual combat magic that he can use as a sorcerer can be counted with two fingers
creak! creak!
The entire group moves forward slowly.
Although the gravel under their feet is almost completely non-reflective black, it is rarely seen in the material world.
But apart from the fact that the color is actually similar to the normal Fire Mountain Cliff, it is completely unnecessary to expect to exchange a stone from a foreign world for gold.
Not far from where they landed grew some odd mangrove-like plants, half-submerged in seawater, with long, black purple eggplant-like fruits.
As a budding “biologist”, Alwin is of course very interested in this foreign world plant.
Although there was no introduction to this plant in the mysticism books I read before, it did not prevent him from picking some plants based on his experience and the spirituality of being a “living chemical school” wizard. Fully ripe long eggplant-like fruit.
By the way, I also took a little black sand as a sample.
As for the microorganisms, viruses, etc. from the foreign world that some people may be worried about, Alwin said that it is not necessary to take seriously.
The natural phenomenon of “black embankment” has existed in this world for many years. In the long years, some kind of delicate ecological balance may have been reached between the two worlds.
Nature’s ability to regulate is actually much more tenacious than human imagined.
Maybe the plant in my hands was actually an aboriginal in the material world countless years ago.
