Chapter 438: Scenery of Dongyu
Li Qi is still trudging, but now he is finally about to leave the ‘coast’ and arrive at Dongyu.
Although it is the coast, it is now 20,000 to 30,000 miles away from the real ‘shore’.
However, it is still considered a coast, after all, the world is still quite large. Although the sea here is already hundreds of miles deep, it is still considered a ‘shallow sea’.
And the shallow sea is actually the most vibrant, with a large number of small fish and shrimps, sufficient sunshine, and nutrients washed down from rivers on land, all of which make the shallow sea more vibrant.
As for going further, to the deep sea, there will not be such a rich ecology there now.
It’s just that… that kind of place has already left the ‘mortal’ ecology.
Although the shallow sea at this moment seems to be very fantastic, it generally abides by the rules of the ecosystem, with many mortal creatures and ordinary fish and shrimps.
However… because it is in the world, it is actually not very ordinary. It should not be a problem for the mortal fish here to unite and kill a few ninth-grade creatures.
But when you reach the deep sea, the situation will begin to change.
There are only spirit beasts, divine beasts, monsters and real dragons.
The deep water vapor in the deep sea, as well as things like the remains of the Dragon King, and the most terrible storm in the deep sea, the Gangfeng layer from the whole world, have shaped it into a zone where only the strong can survive.
Especially the Gangfeng layer.
Li Qi knew that at the end of the East China Sea, the easternmost part of the world, there was a cliff, and water kept falling from the edge of the border between the sea and the void, forming a very spectacular, huge waterfall spanning countless miles, and then being rolled up by the Gangfeng and spread to the whole world, completing a water cycle. (See Chapter 337)
Therefore, it can be seen that the Gangfeng layer is attached to the disc continent of the world like a soap bubble. According to this structure, the closer to the center, the farther the Gangfeng is from the ground, and the closer to the edge, the closer the Gangfeng is to the ground.
On the ground, there is the steam from the ground to counteract, so it is just an ordinary strong wind.
But in the East China Sea... the Gangfeng layer is tightly attached to the sea surface, and such a storm will raise huge waves hundreds of miles high, even if the seventh rank is trapped in it, it will be difficult to extricate itself.
The big storm from the Gangfeng layer, all kinds of giant sea monsters, spirit beasts, and all kinds of demon dragons roaming around that absorb the water of the East China Sea to practice...
That is the truly cruel place in the East China Sea, and it is also Li Qi's destination.
Finally, after two and a half days of trekking, Li Qi finally arrived at Dongyu.
The road pointed by the mirage seems to be right.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's wrong, he can always find the way, it's just a matter of spending a few more days, a small matter.
The Dongyu that Li Qi came to this time is Dongyu 4632.
Dongyu, a cooperation between Lidao and Donghai, is essentially a large-scale agency with more than 6,000 seats distributed throughout the coast of the East China Sea, which is convenient for receiving guests who want to come to the East China Sea.
Li Qi has always been very curious about Lidao.
Lidao is similar to Wudao, both of which are second-rate Taoist schools in the world. Although they do not occupy one of the nine places in the world, they have their own influence in various places.
For example, the Principle Dao has a deep connection with the Human Dao Mohist School, and is also somewhat involved with the Wu Dao, and is even more closely related to the Spirit Dao. It is said that the Principle Dao was initially involved in the development of the Taoist external alchemy method...
Now, Dongyu in the East China Sea was also created by the Principle Dao...
Perhaps, is there a possibility that the Principle Dao and the Martial Dao have such a core existence, controlling these second-rate Dao sects to spread their roots everywhere in the world?
In this way, although they cannot occupy the nine lands of the world, they can still maintain their own status and inheritance.
If there is a chance...Look for similar clues, maybe you can get a deeper understanding of these second-rate Dao sects.
Thinking like this, in front of Li Qi, the "Dongyu" finally appeared as originally expected.
However, it is not quite the same as the imagined Dongyu.
The Dongyu that Li Qi imagined should be a giant mechanical island, just like the one in science fiction novels, a large island made of metal, like a city, floating on the sea in some way.
After all, the book he read recorded the existence of Dongyu, but did not say what Dongyu looked like.
However, when Dongyu appeared in front of him, he was still stunned.
It was not an island, but a puppet.
A super, incomparable, extremely huge and towering puppet!
The puppet was roughly humanoid, with hands and feet, standing on both feet -
That's right, standing, Dongyu... stood on the seabed, that is to say, this puppet must have a body of at least 500 miles long, he stepped on the seabed, and then kept walking on the seabed.
However, although it was in human form, it did not look like a human, because his head was not a human face, but some kind of... mountain?
Li Qi didn't know how to describe it. This was not the face that a humanoid creature should have. No... This giant statue had no face at all.
It was just a simple disc installed on the neck, and a city stood on the disc.
In addition, there were two discs on both shoulders.
Then, two hands were raised, each holding two discs.
In this way, five discs, plus countless buildings similar to "metal mountains" inserted on them, are the full picture of "Dongyu".
And this giant, carrying five discs, walked step by step on the seabed.
This giant has a huge size, which can be seen from its body that is hundreds of miles long. Therefore, the five discs are also extremely huge. You can clearly see many people living, walking, and flying on them.
There are constantly magic weapons and mounts coming and going in each disc, as if different discs are different urban areas, responsible for different social functions.
On the chest of the giant, there is an extremely large and moving deep-water port. The ships coming and going are all made of magic weapons and sail into this port.
There are also flying magic weapons, but it is obviously for outsiders to come to the East China Sea.
Even people like Li Qi who have read travel guides know that flying magic weapons are not practical in the East China Sea.
As the ocean voyage progresses, the gale layer will become lower and lower, closer and closer to the sea surface.
After all, the gale layer is a flat soap bubble structure. The closer to the outer edge of the world, the lower the gale layer, and the more easily the flying magic weapon is affected. In addition, the East China Sea does not have the ground vapor to resist, so it is a very stupid thing to use flying magic weapons in the East China Sea.
See it this way? So is the diving magic weapon better? After all, you don't have to worry about the gale layer in the water.
But in fact, it's not. Although you don't have to worry about the gale layer, you have to worry about the undercurrents and sea beasts in the water.
So, the boat is still the most practical.
Floating on the water, you don't have to face the sea beasts anytime and anywhere, you can use buoyancy to resist the gale, and when necessary, the boat can actually dive, and you don't even need to use the diving function.
Just sink it, it's hard for practitioners to drown anyway.
Witnessing the 'Dongyu 4632' in front of him, Li Qi suddenly had an idea.
Could it be that all Dongyu are this kind of giant puppets? Then how many can this thing beat to death in a fight?
It's a bit scary.
Li Qi's mind was full of random thoughts, but Lao Ma's footsteps did not stop. With the explosive growth of speed, he rushed to Dongyu.
Li Qi passed by many things, and it can be seen that the population density increased rapidly near Dongyu.
Here, all mortals have been screened out, and everyone is at least ninth grade.
Without the ninth rank, there is no qualification to step into the deep sea.
Li Qi could see some people flying in the air, some riding various means of transportation, of course, the most common were boats.
Some were running on the water, and some were riding different mounts, such as big fish, or various exotic beasts, white wolves, lions, and tigers.
There were even many horses, and there were many dragon foals like old horses.
Of course, the coolest one was the strong man that Li Qi passed by before. He actually rode a dragon, stepped on the dragon head, and whistled through the crowd, attracting more attention than Li Qi.
But Li Qi took a look and immediately turned his head away.
At least the cultivation of the fifth rank or above, what's the big deal about riding a dragon?
But, if you look at it this way...
Dongyu's strength seems to be very high, and my seventh rank is really a bit precarious. It's probably not that easy to gain a foothold here.
Fortunately, I didn't come here to gain a foothold, but just to travel and do something by the way.
Thinking about these things, Li Qi finally came to the range of Dongyu for 100 miles.
However, just after entering this distance, a loud noise was heard!
It was not the sound of explosion, but a very clear human voice, which was the human language familiar to Li Qi, and it was a lively female voice, but the volume was too loud.
But the voice sounded in Li Qi's ears with a huge decibel: "Newcomer! Please come to me to register your identity and go through the formalities!"
Hearing the words of going through the formalities, Li Qi was stunned.
Is this place humane?
Didn't they say that the way of natural evolution never cares about these things?
Thinking of this, he began to look for the source of the sound.
Looking around, no one responded, it seemed that only he heard this sound?
Fortunately, the direction of this sound was very clear. Following this direction, Li Qi saw... a giant whale.
That was really... huge.
The sea whale exposed its back, crossed the sea, and divided the seashore into two.
However... In the past few days in the East China Sea, Li Qi has become accustomed to this kind of giant beast. Although the giant whale in front of him is dozens of miles long, it is just like that.
However, is it the sound made by this giant whale?
Li Qi thought about it and took the initiative to gather all the information from the real knowledge rhyme and the information flow vision, and he really saw the clue.
The giant whale in front of him seemed to be able to emit a unique sound wave that only certain people could hear.
It was really interesting.
Moreover, there were many people around the giant whale, and various means of transportation were stacked up, as if they were all going to register.
In this case, let's go and ask.
Ask why, "registration", a humane thing, would appear on Dongyu.
Li Qi rode the old horse and walked towards the giant whale. The giant whale seemed to feel the direction from which Li Qi was coming, so it did not yell at Li Qi.
But she was still emitting sound waves, and from time to time other people covered their ears, their faces full of pain, obviously shocked by the sound of the giant whale.
Soon, Li Qi came to the edge of the giant whale, but saw the giant whale speak again, and made the previous female voice: "Please get on me, there are people responsible for registration on it."
"People?" Li Qi was stunned and couldn't help asking back.
What's wrong with people? What's the matter, this is the East China Sea!
But the giant whale did not respond.
Li Qi had no way of asking the giant whale, so he had to prepare to get on her back.
The old horse soared into the air and quickly came to the back of the giant whale.
Li Qi looked carefully and saw that there were indeed many people on it, but... they were not ordinary people.
They were indeed human beings, and they were quite orthodox human beings from all over the world, but their bodies had undergone a considerable degree of transformation. Half of their bodies had been inlaid with various parts. It can be seen that those were miniaturized magic weapons.
There were various races, and they were doing business in front of these half-human and half-magic weapon "people". It was quite fast, and basically just a circle in front of them was done.
From this angle, Li Qi could see that the breath of the registrant was collected, and then the breath was stored for registration, and then they could leave.
I have to say, it was quite humane...
However, the human way should not have such extreme physical transformation. After all, for them, such transformation is meaningless. They have no method that requires such transformation. It is purely a burden.
In other words...
Li Dao?
Is Li Dao managing Dongyu?
I haven't heard of it.
Thinking about this, Li Qi asked Lao Ma to stand aside while he went to line up.
The line was quite long, about two or three miles long, all on the giant whale, and there were new people joining the line continuously. If they didn't line up quickly, it would probably take another half an hour.
There were many huge beasts and other strange races in the line, but at this moment they all used the art of transformation to reduce their bodies so as not to occupy too much space, and they all lined up honestly.
Li Qi was also a little excited while queuing.
This was the first time I had seen a real, pure person of the Way of Reason. Maybe we could communicate a little and understand the Way of Reason.
After all, what you see in books is not true after all, and what you learn from books is shallow.
The line lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Although the line in the first two or three miles was very long, everyone was very conscious, and there was no clichéd queue-jumping or anything like that. The order was well-organized and the efficiency was extremely high. It was Li Qi's turn in two quarters of an hour.
Li Qi walked forward with great interest, his True Know Yun was fully opened, and his information flow vision was also opened, ready to analyze the pile of magic weapons on the other party.
However, when he just made contact, Li Qi's expression suddenly became serious.
A special barrier bounced the power of True Know Yun away!
This was the first time Li Qi encountered that there was something that could bounce True Know Yun away.
You know, in the past, either it could not be scanned, such as scanning Teacher Zhu Fengdan, who was directly transparent in True Know Yun's eyes and did not exist.
Or it could be scanned, and then the information would be read slowly.
For the first time, True Know Yun was "rejected" by something.
What is the magic weapon on the other party?
