Chapter 161 The 2nd Year Rainy Season
It was night, lightning bolts fell from the sky, huge waves hundreds of meters high hit the flying boat, the sea hurricane roared and swept past, rainwater and sea water splashed down, causing ripples in the defensive formation.
This is the most dangerous section of their route. There is a sea hurricane every three to five meters, almost as if there is no distance. When many hurricanes sweep across the sea, they often meet together. merge with each other to form a larger hurricane.
With so many terrifying hurricanes gathered together, the flying boat is often torn by five or six hurricanes or even more because of its relatively large size, and sometimes it will be struck by lightning. This kind of destructive power has always protected them. The defensive array disturbed by the weather can't hold back, it will break every two or three minutes, Su Qing must be ready at all times, and the moment the array is broken, he must repair the broken array pattern again .
It takes time to repair the pattern, even if it is only for a few seconds, the flying boat will be sucked into the sky by the hurricane, and it can only break free after the pattern is repaired, but it will be sucked up again within 2 minutes.
The deck was in a mess, and the sea water rushed into the cabin. Qi Jiang felt that it was not an option to rely on Su Qing to repair the defensive array. He ran to the cockpit to change the autopilot of the airship to autopilot, and avoided various drifts on the sea like a racing car. Only through the hurricane, this reduces the number of times the defensive array is broken.
Under Qi Jiang's superb drag racing skills, the flying boat would only be torn apart by one or two sea hurricanes at most. This kind of destructive power did not exceed the limit of the defensive array. Finally, the flying boat no longer ran up and down like a roller coaster, but Su Qing He didn't dare to relax, and kept waiting in the formation room.
The seawater on the deck and in the cabin was not dealt with, and the two trees came out to help, sucking it all up and throwing it outside.
At noon of the next day, the flying boat finally left this dangerous sea area. The sky outside changed color. The color of the dark clouds was very light. The feeling of hell coming back to earth.
Qi Jiang returned the driving right to the flying boat and walked out, and walked to the deck with Su Qing who was next door from the formation room.
There was a strong smell of the sea in the flying boat. Qi Jiang sighed slightly, and used the water control technique to gather the water vapor in the air into fresh water, and kept rinsing the flying boat. After washing it for seven or eight times, he didn't smell the sea anymore. fishy smell.
The sun umbrellas, sofas and coffee tables on the deck were put back to their original positions by Su Qing, but the appearance of the furniture changed.
Last night, they went to bed at noon as usual, and they didn’t wake up until the airship broke into the hurricane sea area. At that time, the defense array of the airship had already been broken, and everyone was swept into the air together with the airship. The coffee table on the deck and so on Because it is a product of the old world, it was torn into pieces the moment the defensive array was broken.
"Oh, it finally came out." Su Qing sighed and fell on the sofa, looking at Qi Jiang who was walking towards him, "Brother Jiang, our flying boat needs to be upgraded again."
"The current main material is not suitable for upgrading." Qi Jiang sat next to Su Qing and looked down at him, "Let's talk about it when we find a more suitable material. At that time, I will add the zoom function to it, and I will encounter this kind of material in the future." In the sea area, we can also shrink the spaceship and drive there by ourselves."
"Let me add another set of defensive formations on it." Su Qing thought so, "One set is often used and the other is a backup, so as to avoid being in a hurry once the defensive formation is broken like last night."
"Can it be added to the airship?"
Su Qing sat up with some doubts: "I just add it on the flying boat."
"What I mean is, draw the pattern on the flying boat." Qi Jiang touched his chin, "Then use the set in the formation room as a backup."
"No, our flying boat can't withstand the energy transmission of the teleportation defense array."
"That's a pity. Let's talk about finding suitable materials in the future. Left and right are enough for now." Qi Jiang shook his head regretfully.
Su Qing lay down on Qi Jiang's lap as if boneless, and searched for the introduction about flying boats in the inheritance: "Brother Jiang, after refining the flying boats in the past, there would be room for formations. I remember the pile of ancient books in my family. There is also a corresponding introduction in it, you go and have a look?"
"Then I'll go and see how it's done in the book." Qi Jiang took a few books out of his Qiankun bag.
"Ah, it turns out that simple crafting methods can also refine a flying boat that integrates offense and defense." Su Qing saw some related introductions.
Qi Jiang was flipping through the book and found the relevant introduction.
There will be two branches in the future when the refining tool is developed. One branch is to combine with formations or talismans to make magic tools with more functions. You can choose to complete it yourself, or you can choose to cooperate with other formation masters or talisman masters. One branch It is only by relying on the powerful refining technology to refine a powerful magic weapon.
As for the inscription pattern, Qi Jiang really doesn't have much talent, if he wants to make a flying boat with more functions, he either chooses to complete it by himself, or chooses to complete it with Su Qing.
In the previous practice world, many monks were stubborn, especially the four major auxiliary professions.
Generally speaking, senior craftsmen will first choose to become the second branch to prove their strength. If it is not possible, most people will choose to switch to the first branch, and a small number of stubborn people will continue to stay in the second branch.
This kind of choice doesn't apply to Qi Jiang, he is not a stubborn person, as long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care what method he uses.
He will continue to refine the weapon, and when the time comes to make a new flying boat, if he can't meet the requirements with his technology, he will definitely cooperate with Su Qing.
The flying boat is not the most important thing at the moment. Qi Jiang read the book for a while and continued to tinker with his puppet art. Su Qing lay down on the deck and rested for a while before going to the formation room to add a defensive formation.
After that, Su Qing had nothing to do, so he followed his previous life rhythm, either cultivating, or lying down and looking through the inheritance memory, broadening his knowledge would be of great help to his practice, and could also avoid encountering any novelties in the future You have to ask the Creation Tree about everything.
The rain became smaller and smaller. At night, the dark clouds dispersed and the sky was full of stars. Su Qing went to the deck to look at the wide and calm sea, and then looked up at the rainless and cloudless sky.
The rainy season lasted for a total of five months. Except for the one that rose to heaven three days ago, even if the rain stops at other times, the dark clouds will not completely disperse.
"The season will change again." Su Qing sighed slightly. He was not sure what the next season would be, so he went to the magic room to add a constant temperature magic circle.
After adding the magic circle, he went back to lie on the sofa, and the Creation Tree, who was playing cards beside him, coughed lightly to wake him up: "Would you like to go and study the puppet technique with Qi Jiang?"
"Huh?" Su Qing was puzzled, "Brother Jiang is studying what I want to disturb? I'm not interested in this."
"I'm afraid that if you read all day long, you will become a nerd."
"You want me to learn the art of puppetry, and take over Brother Jiang's work when he can't continue his studies in this way?"
The Good Fortune Tree said angrily: "You know all about it and you still don't want to go?"
"No." Su Qing turned over and continued to look at the inheritance memory, "Why should I go?"
"Help me."
"No." Su Qing has no interest in puppetry at all, "Anyway, Brother Jiang can make the mapping tools and production line we need in the end, so why should I join in the fun?"
"What if you need to make more detailed objects in the future?"
"Then let's talk about it."
"I thought you wouldn't do nothing like Qi Jiang." Xiang Shengshu used aggressive methods to help, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Creation Tree and Dragon Soul raised their heads, as if he was not helping.
Just as Xiang Shengshu wanted to ask them what they were doing, Su Qing sat up unhappily: "Brother Jiang, why isn't he doing his job properly?"
"Look at what kind of cups and knives he made. How can a craftsman make such things." Xiang Shengshu answered boldly.
"Then he didn't want us to live a more comfortable life?" Su Qing looked unkind, "You don't need cups, knives, rice, you don't have these magic tools for life, you can make things you like Any snacks?"
The Creation Tree coughed lightly: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, he didn't mean that, he just thought learning puppetry would be good for you, and he just wanted to use a provocative method."
Su Qing snorted, rolled her eyes at Xiang Shengshu for the first time, turned to look for Qi Jiang, and didn't want to stay with them at all.
Xiang Shengshu was a little unhappy: "Look at him, he actually yelled at me, he didn't cherish it when he got it, and he coaxed me before!"
Tree of Creation had a headache: "Hey, what are you doing to slander Qi Jiang? Isn't this stepping on his bottom line?"
"I... It's not that you said that Qi Jiang's talent should not be used in the righteous way, and he always makes some insignificant magic weapons." Xiang Shengshu slammed the cards on the table.
"I think so, but..." Xiang Shengshu was very helpless, "But my thinking is different from that of Qi Jiang and the others. We old guys are more old-fashioned, thinking that talents should be used to help practice, but Qi Jiang and the others practice to live a more comfortable life, and everyone has a different understanding of the righteous way."
Xiang Shengshu was taken aback for a moment, and then became even angrier: "Oh ~ so, you dare not persuade me to persuade you? Do you want me to be scolded?"
Creation tree:? ? ?Where do I have it?
"I knew it, I knew it, you brought Su Qing here as soon as you found out my key, just to find someone to take the blame for in the future!"
Creation tree:? ? ?
"I'll beat you to death, shameless!" Xiang Shengshu threw himself directly at the bud and swung his bow left and right.
The Good Fortune Tree blocked it with its own buds in a daze, but he had one less leaf than the Xiangsheng Tree, so he didn't block it no matter what.
Dragon Soul also watched the game with a dazed look on the side holding the cards. When he saw the cards Xiang Shengshu put on the table, he turned his eyes and secretly opened it to take a look.
"Ah, Senior Fortune Tree, Senior Xiang Shengshu's cards are so bad!"
Xiang Shengshu's movements froze, he turned around and ran away, Good Fortune Tree finally knew why he reacted so strongly, it turned out that he wanted to regret the card.
"What are you running for? Stop!"
There was a lot of chaos on the deck, and Su Qing entered the room angrily.
Qi Jiang, who was fiddling with puppet parts, looked up, saw Su Qing's expression, put down the parts and walked over quickly: "What's wrong?"
"It's not Senior Xiang Shengshu... Bah, what senior, that bastard Xiang Shengshu, he actually said that you are not doing your job properly!" Su Qing rolled her eyes angrily.
"You don't know about his temperament? He has no bad intentions. Are you angry that he is torturing himself?" Qi Jiang pulled Su Qing to sit on the bed, "Okay, Zhengye in our eyes is different from theirs. What do you care about this?"
"That doesn't discredit you either."
Qi Jiang laughed, took Su Qing's hand and patted it: "Okay, don't be angry anymore, there must be a reason for him to say that, right? Is it because of the puppet technique?"
Su Qing was taken aback: "Did you hear that just now?"
Qi Jiang shook his head and smiled lightly: "Not really, but I can tell when they came to see me draw pictures before, they want you to learn this."
"I'm not interested in this." Su Qing didn't want to learn.
"There is no harm in learning one more skill. In fact, I really want you to help me, so that I can spare time to study alchemy. I haven't touched the alchemy furnace for a long time." Qi Jiang felt helpless Sigh, "Human energy is limited after all."
Su Qing thought about it carefully, if his help can make Qi Jiang more relaxed, then it is not impossible for him to develop an interest in puppetry.
"Then let me learn."
A smile flashed across Qi Jiang's eyes: "Then I'll show you the parts I just made, and if you don't understand anything, just ask me."
"it is good."
Su Qing got up and went with him, and soon the two of them gathered around and started messing around.
On the deck, Dragon Soul, who was watching the two seniors, suddenly said, "Hey, two seniors, Susu seems to be learning puppetry."
Xiangshengshu and Haohuashu who were fighting stopped, and asked in unison in confusion and surprise: "What did you say?"
"Susu went to learn puppet art." Dragon Soul repeated.
Xiang Shengshu's eyes lit up: "My aggressive method worked?"
Tree of Creation felt that Su Qing would not change his mind that easily, unless...
"Is he staying with Qi Jiang?"
"Yeah, I just forgot to shield Qi Jiang when I swept across the sea with my consciousness, and I just heard Su Qing say that I want to learn puppet art."
"Oh, then it has nothing to do with us, it must have been persuaded by Qi Jiang." The Creation Tree was very self-aware.
Su Qing and Qi Jiang stayed in the room for a long time, and they put down their work at four o'clock the next morning to go to rest.
Where they are is their room, and it has everything in it.
"Shall we go to rest on the deck or in the room?" Qi Jiang asked while washing.
"Go to the deck, it's more comfortable there." Su Qing spit out the water in her mouth, put away the mouthwash cup, and took a towel to wash her face.
Qi Jiang glanced at their cabin in the depths of the cabin, which seemed a little closed because there was only one window, and nodded slightly: "After landing, I will change the layout of the rooms in the spaceship and add a balcony for us."
Su Qing's eyes lit up: "This is good."
Qi Jiang knew that he wanted a semi-open room, so he raised his lips slightly and gave a hum, and went out with Su Qing after washing his face.
The sky outside had begun to light up, Qi Jiang counted, and it was only early four o'clock. Although the sun hadn't come out yet, a little golden light could already be seen faintly at the intersection of the sea and the sky.
"If it doesn't rain, it will be dawn soon." Su Qing smiled lightly and lay down on the sofa, "Go to sleep."
"I'll pull up a gauze curtain so that the sun won't be too dazzling and I won't be able to sleep."
"Just wear a blindfold." Su Qing felt that the gauze curtain was too girly and not suitable for them.
Hearing this, Qi Jiang didn't insist, took the blindfold from Su Qing's hand, put it on, and lay down on the sofa with him to sleep.
It really dawned very quickly today, and within 10 minutes after they fell asleep, the sun came out, and the scorching sun shone on the sea surface, making the sea water seem a little clearer.
After the rain stopped, as soon as the sun came out, the temperature was much higher than before. Unlike the cool weather when it rained before, the weather today is a bit hot. Even if the sun was blocked by white clouds, the outdoor temperature did not drop much. .
On the deck, Su Qing and Qi Jiang slept in each other's arms. Because of the constant temperature formation, they were not affected by the high temperature at all.
The flying boat happened to pass by a fishing ground, and the Dragon Soul controlled the flying boat to stop, and after playing the cards in his hand, he said, "I'm going to catch some fish and grill it."
"Go, go." The Creation Tree waved its leaves, flew to the tea table and started making tea, "Stop playing cards for now, I'm a little tired after playing for so long."
Xiang Shengshu also flew over to eat something, and within 2 minutes of eating, the dragon soul flew up from the sea, the airship restarted, and continued to move forward according to the route.
Dragon Soul loves barbecue the most. In order to eat it, he specially learned from Qi Jiang how to make barbecue delicious. Now he is an expert in barbecue.
A fire was lit on the grill soon, and the smell of grilled fish came out. Su Qing moved her nose, opened her eyes slightly, did not take off the blindfold, and continued to sleep after performing an isolation technique with her hands.
Two trees and one soul ate barbecue and snacks, with the tea made by the good fortune tree in hand, lying comfortably on the sofa and enjoying life. When the food was almost finished, they didn't want to play cards very much, and gradually felt a little bored .
Xiang Shengshu flew up and ran over Su Qing's head, then came back, and learned to lie on the sofa to sleep, the roots and leaves soon drooped down, and there was a small snoring sound.
More than three hours later, Qi Jiang got up to cook first. When passing by the love seat, he saw two trees, one soul lying crookedly inside and one pile of rubbish on the ground, and shook his head helplessly and left.
It was past eight o'clock, and the sun was very strong. Qi Jiang was sitting by the pot making wontons. Not long after, Su Qing also got up to help.
"It looks like it's the dry season." Qi Jiang thought that the rainy season would come directly after the snowy season, skipping the foggy season, and this year's season would be different from last year's.
Su Qing hummed lightly: "From this point of view, the foggy season should be mutated for humans and animals."
"The temperature on the flying boat is not high, have you arranged a formation?"
"Well, with a constant temperature formation, one sun should be able to handle it. Let's see if we can hold on when two or even three suns go up."
"We can build a sunshade." Qi Jiang pointed at the top of his head, "Use my feathers to make a sunshade, it can insulate the temperature, and then use your ice and snow feathers to refine a layer of yarn and put it under it. It's going to be hotter."
"Are there enough feathers?" Su Qing secretly rolled his eyes.
Qi Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice became very low and dangerous: "Don't make up your mind, forget what you promised me?"
"I haven't forgotten!" Su Qing shook his head decisively.
"It's better not to forget." Qi Jiang nodded with satisfaction, "Make another quilt, the feathers are enough, you don't need too much."
Hearing this, Su Qing nodded obediently again, and then got up and clapped her hands when she saw that the wonton bags were almost ready, and went to the side to light a fire for the small stove to boil water.
With the spatula in his hand, Qi Jiang went to the sofa and began to count the feathers they fell.
During the previous snow season, they used flame feathers and thunder dragon feathers to make quilts and down jackets. The ice and snow feathers were useless, and they have saved a lot until now. Not only can they be used to make gauze and quilts, but they can also be used Used to make summer clothes.
Qi Jiang had a plan in mind, and after breakfast, he began to refine feathers. Su Qing wanted to come over to help, but under Qi Jiang's persuasion, he continued to work on puppetry.
Another three days have passed, and there has been no rain or even wind for the past few days. The temperature has soared day by day, which is not much different from last year's dry season.
In the afternoon, they came across an island, each of which was small in size and not far from each other. The flying boat circled all the islands in about an hour. There were only some animals and plants on them, and there were no human traces.
Later, they came across many islands one after another. Su Qing wondered if there was any land nearby. Compared with the ancient map, there was indeed a continent right in front of where they were.
The direction of this continent and the direction of the ice coffin are a bit different, Su Qing hesitated: "Brother Jiang, should we go to land to see or go to the ice coffin first?"
Qi Jiang took out the treasure map and found that they were not far from the ice coffin. According to experience, the flying boat would take about three days to get there.
Since it was not far away, it was naturally following Susu's awakening.
"Find the ice coffin first, and come back later." Qi Jiang didn't change the direction of the flying boat.
The direction of the continent is about the same as that of the ice coffin, only a difference of ten degrees. Judging from the previous floating route of the ice coffin, it should have passed this continent.
The same is true for the flying boats chasing the ice coffin. As they advance, the coastline of the mainland slowly appears in front of them.
Soon, this corner of the continent was left far behind by the flying boat again.
In the huge ice cave, a white flood dragon with two horns is entrenched on the ground, in front of it is a white flying lion and an ice crystal phoenix.
"Bai Xuelong, you really don't want to go?" Ice Crystal Phoenix Niao said in a puzzled tone, "We are all ice-type, and we know how useful that ice coffin is to us, and maybe it can make our blood more pure."
"As long as you go with us, that sea monster will belong to you. You are a dragon. Eating that sea monster will be very helpful to you. Why don't you want to go?" No nod.
"I said, that thing doesn't belong to us. Didn't you also fail to keep the ice coffin last time? Are you still determined?" The two-horned white dragon was unmoved.
"The treasure has no owner, as long as we get it, it is ours." The ice crystal phoenix snorted coldly, "It was the sea monster who made trouble last time, otherwise we would have dragged the ice coffin ashore."
"It can't be opened even if it is dragged ashore." The two-horned white dragon rolled its eyes.
"Then don't regret it." Flying Snow Lion snorted coldly, "Let's go, we will go by ourselves."
The ice crystal phoenix frowned, didn't follow, and continued to persuade: "In this way, you are good at fighting at sea, and you will indeed contribute a little more at that time. The sea monster will give you the ice coffin, and the three of us will share the ice coffin equally in the future. This sincerity is enough. "
"I won't go." The two-horned white flood dragon was still unmoved.
"You!" Bingjing Fengniao was so angry that she gave up completely, "Let's go, we will go by ourselves."
"Huh?" The two-horned white flood dragon entrenched on the ground suddenly raised its head and narrowed its pupils, "Those two humans? Why did they come here?"
"What human?" The ice crystal phoenix turned around, with unfriendly eyes, "You mean, someone found the ice coffin in the human city?"
The double-horned white dragon rolled his eyes, and put his head on his body again: "I didn't say that, but I would like to advise you, don't mess around with things that are not yours. people save you."
"You mean that newborn sea monster? What kind of master is he?" Flying Snow Lion snorted disdainfully, "Don't be jealous when we get the ice coffin back."
"Don't worry, I'm absolutely not jealous, and I'll hold a celebration banquet for you." The two-horned white dragon smiled half-smile.
If you can come back.
