Chapter 67 Howling Fjord
It was 4 a.m. on April 4th and 10 p.m. during game time. The night sea was moonless and overcast.

Dachun rested and ate several times in the game to regain his strength and continued to drive on autopilot. Outside of the game, I just ate a bucket of instant noodles and used my tablet to analyze the composition.

I was tired and drowsy all night, but inadvertently and seriously I suddenly figured out how to use a plug-in that I had not had time to study for many years. I suddenly became energetic. The soul of the former top student was burning brightly, and I was getting better and better. Work hard, all the roads are connected, and the composition is really working!
Then adjust the parameters repeatedly, and the composition still works! Send the design to the 3D CAT software and try again, and it still works.

Dachun was overjoyed. Maybe there was no need to go out and find a master. This level of intelligence would probably work with that Qifanda. And with my amateur composition skills, even if I can't survive in the game, I might be able to shamelessly add 3D modeling master to my resume when I go out to find a job!
After the breakthrough, Dachun's energy increased greatly and he felt no sleepiness at all.

Looking at the map, we are almost there, a narrow channel between two pieces of land.

I have to say that it took me all morning and the whole morning to activate Four Seas Soul. The time cost of normal sailing is unimaginable. This trip to sea is really not suitable for players who want to do missions and fight monsters. Fortunately, I still have a Small clone.

Before it’s too late, go to the game website to review the information on Windhowling Fjord in detail.

In the game background, the Howling Fjord is actually similar to the Mazeren Strait in reality. The mountains on both sides of the bank are high, steep, and the terrain is tortuous. The winds are high, the waves are violent, there are many whirlpools, and it is foggy. When the wind is particularly strong, it makes a powerful whistling sound, hence its name.

In the era of great development, there were many powerful sea monsters in various sea areas. In comparison, this route was relatively safe and short-cut. It was once busy. However, with the opening of the Golden Channel to clear out sea monsters, this route was not cost-effective and was completely abolished. The fleets of the Great Chamber of Commerce will no longer pass here, and pirates will not appear here either. There are also abandoned supply port camps left over from the pioneering era inside the fjord. That's all the information, and there are no relevant discussions from players on the forum. It feels like a barren land.

But in the spring, I learned something new, and I immediately discovered the connotation from this simple information - there was no mention of the sunken ship! In order to cover up the secret, you don't want latecomers to salvage it, right? And dragons emerge from the poor mountains and rivers. Are there really no sea monsters here? Was he also deliberately not mentioning the secret?

Then you should contact the mermaid and ask for advice. Would it be okay to have a word with her over a long distance?

Give it a try, the skills of the sea clan guards are activated.

Then there was a buzzing blind sound in my ears - the system prompted: The Sea Clan's personal guards are in contact, please wait patiently...

Damn, you have to be patient. It took 4 hours last time to contact the whale. How long will it take to get further this time?
While waiting for the trip, the wind in front began to get stronger, and the sailing mode began to change from lowering the sail to paddling. The boat became more and more rocking. The sound of howling wind could be heard in the distance, and the outline of the mountains in the dark night could even be vaguely seen.

——System prompt: Arriving at the sea area of ​​​​Wind Roaring Fjord, this is not a navigation convention route, and the automatic driving will stop.

You have to row the boat by yourself. Eat first to regain your strength.

Then contact Elian: "Ellen, are you free now? I need your radar."

Ailian's slightly tired voice came: "Are we here? Hurry!"

Dachun felt nervous: "How is the situation over there?"

Elian sighed: "There is bad news and good news. The bad news is that your six magic stones were found by the dog-legged demon pet."

Da Chun's heart twitched. Although he had been ready to give up for a long time, it was really uncomfortable to lose it: "Where's the good news?"

Elian smiled and said: "The good news is that after they got the magic stone, they started to arrange a magic circle around the hiding spot of the crystal bat, so as long as we win the magic stone, we can still get it back, and at the same time, we will continue to give the crystal bat time to hide. . I am still considering whether to quietly move the magic stone to interfere with the opponent when they are using the magic circle."

Dachun was very uneasy: "The magic stone must be guarded by a magic pet, right?"

Elian smiled and said: "Didn't I transform into a toad before and attack the dog-legged demon pet? I just continued to transform into a toad."

At this point, Elian's radar started to alarm: "There is a reef!"

It's useless to rush over there, just do your best to get it done here.

With the radar, Dachun directly ignored the influence of night and fog, and could even see the surging underwater vortex. This feeling was really indescribable.

Entering the canyon, the waves crashing on the shore were like rolling thunder, the boat was bumping like leaves in the waves, and the howling wind was like the roar of the devil - Dachun felt that he had seriously underestimated the danger here, or that he was unlucky to come when it was windy. .

I had to take a sip of century-old cassava wine to increase my physical strength limit and restore my health, as long as I didn't get drunk.

——System prompt: You get the attribute bonus of special cassava soju, the upper limit of physical strength is temporarily increased by 38%, the physical recovery speed is increased, and you are resistant to fear, trembling, and cold. Approximate duration: 1 hour.

Damn it! Just take one sip and add 38% without getting drunk. The price/performance ratio is much better than before after blowing a bottle. But before, it was for the purpose of leaving the body, and there was nothing we could do about it.

Soon, Dachun's physical strength was not enough, but the rocks everywhere here gave Dachun a chance to breathe. He first approached a sharp and thin reef and tied it with a cable.

It has to be said that a small boat also has its advantages. If you switch to a big boat, you will probably have to hit it head-on.

Just rowing and rowing like this, Dachun pushed hard in the canyon for an hour, but there was still no Black Flag Order asset displayed. What makes me even more anxious is that an hour has passed and I haven’t been able to contact the mermaid, and there is no one I can ask questions to.

Is there a possibility that the ship sank to pieces and was not subject to the black flag order? Or is it too deep to be seen on the sea? But since the event has been triggered, it must be there.

Finally, the sound of water ahead was like a dam bursting, and the radar revealed an underwater vortex, like a storm cloud map. It also indicated the bend in the canyon. This is where a ship is most likely to lose control, and the possibility of sinking is extremely high! Even so, the Black Flag Order still didn't appear. We can't count on it. Old Wall Lamp had a point. Over the past century, there must have been masters who had come with the Black Flag Order. Their failures might have been due to their excessive reliance on it.

Dachun approached a reef and tied up the boat again, and retrieved the Four Seas Soul from the boat: "Ellen, I'm going to dive down and have a look."

Ailian was also quite solemn: "It feels very scary. If there is no sea soul, ordinary people will definitely be swallowed by the whirlpool if they go down."

Dachun took another sip of soju to replenish his status: "If there is a sea monster attack, your sacred ring is ready."

"understood."

After preparations were completed, Dachun went into the water. The barrier formed by the Four Sea Souls greatly offset the impact of the strong currents.

Dive 50 meters! Professional diver depth.

Dive 100 meters! The limit of human diving without equipment. At this point, the huge water pressure has reduced the barrier by a large circle. The radar was full of whirlpools, and it was impossible to detect the existence of the sunken ship.

Approaching the whirlpool, a huge suction force pulled Dachun's sea soul barrier into a deformed balloon. Dachun panicked and felt that he had to retreat before it was too late! As long as we keep moving forward, we won't be able to get out even if we find a sunken ship in the whirlpool.

Then, instead of moving forward, we should investigate at the edge of the whirlpool. At the very least, we should find out how deep the water is! Whirlpools are usually caused by convection. In this case, it could be caused by the tides, or there could be a deep pit or crack on the seabed, and the shipwreck might be in that pit.

Dive 150 meters!
——System prompt: ...your expert-level swimming proficiency has been greatly improved.

Great! Now I feel uncomfortable if I don't get a skill upgrade every day.

Diving 200 meters!! The barrier was nearly crushed.

Dachun then realized that the Sea Soul barrier wasn't omnipotent underwater; it would burst if the water pressure became too great. Was this the end? Or had his judgment been wrong from the start? Should he trust the Black Flag Order and continue searching?
At this moment, Ailian was surprised: "My treasure hunting skill detected a magical reaction in the vortex."

Huh?
Dachun also opened it, and sure enough! This wave reaction was like a space gate! If there is a space gate—holy crap! This is not just a shipload of gems, the hidden map is advanced!

The key is, can you afford the gamble?

Dachun was both excited and confused: "Ailian, it seems to be a space gate——"

Ailian was just excited: "What are you waiting for, rush in!"

I knew you were greedy! Dachun was sober at that moment: "How about we go back to the boat and wait for the tide to end before going in? Maybe the whirlpool won't be so severe by then, and we can still get out alive."

Ailian chuckled, "Can you guarantee that there will be a space gate after the tide ends? You know, the mermaid's space spell is activated by the power of the tide. The same is true for the whale."

Dachun suddenly realized! This means that I am not unlucky to come here, but at the right time!
"Then let's go!"

The Great Spring barrier was fully activated, and under the pull of the vortex, it rushed towards the vortex at high speed! This speed was far beyond imagination, and large bubbles rose from the periphery of the barrier. This was clearly... a supercavitating torpedo!
Because traditional torpedoes have always struggled to break a certain speed limit underwater, the greater the thrust, the greater the resistance, resulting in a bullet's ability to only penetrate one meter underwater. However, by adding bubbles to the torpedo, allowing the bubbles to wrap around the torpedo's surface, a supercavitating torpedo with astonishing speed was created...

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your swimming speed far exceeds the limit of your current skill. Your expert swimming level has been upgraded from level 1 to level 5, and you have obtained the achievements: Carrying weight +8, Stamina +8, and an additional achievement: Life +8!

Holy shit, swimming leveled up 4 times! Isn't this just like when Intermediate Running got sucked in by a space door and leaped to Expert?

Dachun became more excited and sped up. As he got closer, he saw that the cracks deep in the vortex were emitting shimmering spatial fluctuations!
——System prompt: Congratulations! ...Your expert swimming level has reached level 10...

Wow, it leveled up again in just a few seconds! Send me a Master...

Enter the rift, and the scene changes—System prompt: You have reached the secret abyss underground sea. Warning! You are falling from a great height, so you must fully cope.

It is indeed a hidden map!
Dachun felt like he was being washed down a waterfall. Below him, the red light of magma illuminated the vast underground space. It was an underground sea where seawater and magma steam blended together! A pile of shipwrecks was faintly visible in the sea.

——Black Flag Order Tip: The Chamber of Commerce’s asset, the Obsidian, has been discovered.

Damn, finally a prompt is given. Is it necessary to give a prompt at this time?

Ailian suddenly exclaimed: "There are stones ahead!"

Holy shit! Sea Shark Soul is dodging at full speed...

　Book lovers, keep reading, keep reading, it only counts if you read for dozens of seconds, something big is going to happen.
