Chapter 146: Wheel/Plate at Sea (24)
The shark was like a motorboat, creating a wave like exhaust on the water surface. Amid the laughter of the man in sunglasses, he and his mount rushed towards the wall formed by the seafarers.
With a loud "boom", huge white waves surged up, the shark and the sea guest collided, and the white waves surged, forming a natural wall several meters high.
Everything was like in slow motion. In the rolling white waves, there were splatters of black blood and large clumps of debris that were unclear what they were.
But more things were burned, melted, and annihilated in the ultra-high temperature collision, leaving no trace.
It took more than two minutes for the white waves to calm down. The shark appeared with its rider. The man in sunglasses had his hair blown into the shape of popcorn and his face had a few burnt marks, but his smile was still bright.
He blew a whistle, and the shark obediently carried him to the side of the boat. The young man with ponytail and Su Chen pulled him onto the boat from the left and right.
As the man in sunglasses stepped onto the boat, the shark suddenly jumped up as if waking from a dream, then swung its tail rapidly, and its triangular dorsal fin moved away from the boat very quickly.
"You don't really want to experience it again, do you?" the man in sunglasses shouted with a hearty laugh.
The triangular dorsal fin paused for half a second, then disappeared from the sea surface with a "whoosh".
Everyone: “…”
What on earth has this shark been through?
Everyone has heard the legend of the mad rider, and has also seen with their own eyes how the man in sunglasses used the chair as a mount, easily broke free from the restraints and smashed the skeleton captain to pieces.
However, the visual effect of single-handedly defeating dozens or even hundreds of seafarers was still too spectacular, and even Su Yue couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart that it was so cool.
The sea surface has completely returned to calm, and the seafarers circling the boat are no longer seen. It is not known whether they have all been killed or scared away by the man in sunglasses.
It doesn't matter which reason it is, the boat continues to move forward.
After paddling for about three more hours, they saw the "sun".
.
At first glance, I couldn't even believe that it was the sun. It suddenly tore through the dark night sky and appeared, like a huge balloon suspended in the air, composed of complex color gradients of orange, pink, gold, red, etc.
It looked so close, so close that it seemed within reach, and the entire sea surface was dyed a brilliant red.
If it weren't for the overly brilliant and blazing light, if it weren't for the scorching flames that could be felt from this distance, no one would believe that the ball in the sky was the sun.
With the sun so close, it seems that everything on earth will be burned if it gets close.
This is indeed the case.
Those volcanoes, breathing out flames right below the sun, stretch across the sea level like an insurmountable obstacle.
"No, those things are not volcanoes!" Su Chen exclaimed, "They are flames, flames suspended on the sea!"
Before Su Yue had time to wonder how Su Chen could have such good eyesight, he also saw the so-called "flame".
The upper half of the flame was burning fiercely, with flames of deep red and orange, but the lower half was pitch black. Because it was pitch black, Su Yue and the others mistook it for the wall of a volcano when they saw it from afar.
That is actually just another flame.
For a moment, no one spoke.
Even the breathing was so quiet that it could not be heard.
Everyone realized that this was the "insurmountable flame" in the Moonlight Island legend.
.
The scorching sun hangs low, as if you can touch it if you jump up and reach out.
At this distance, the sunlight brings an ever-burning flame.
The flames split the sea into two, and through the flames, you could vaguely see the clear sea water on the other side.
Cang Zhi jumped into the water to take a look, and soon came up with bad news: below the sea level, there was also a burning flame that blocked the way, and it was impossible to get around it no matter which way.
The "insurmountable flame" has indeed become a barrier that no one can penetrate.
The good news is that there are no living creatures here, no seafarers, sharks, or other dangerous creatures that might cause disturbance. All of them disappear around the flames because the temperature is too high.
When Su Yue and the others were about ten meters away from the flame barrier, they could already feel the temperature of the sea water becoming warmer. As they went further, the temperature became higher and higher.
The boat could only get five meters away from the flame barrier before it started to make a dangerous "hissing" sound and even smelled like it was burning, so they had no way of moving forward and had to stay there.
"Can the rider's skills allow him to rush over?" Su Yue asked.
The man in sunglasses shook his head.
It makes sense. The Crazy Rider's skills can destroy the creatures or walls in front of him, but the flames have no substance. They just burn and devour all life that passes through the wall of fire.
The man in sunglasses was able to smash the enemy unscathed, largely because his skills took into account self-protection. However, even with self-protection, he was not sure that he could pass through such a blazing flame.
They hovered outside the flames, hesitant.
.
The ball of light called "the sun" was too close, so close that the air became scorching hot. When looking through the heat waves, the scenery on the opposite side showed strange fluctuations.
Everyone was sweating, not sure if it was because of the heat or the urgency, as time passed by minute by minute.
It must have been another night, because high in the sky behind the sun, a starry sky appeared. Although the stars seemed very faint under the scorching sunlight, they were indeed clearly there.
It was only afternoon when they arrived here, but the sun's heat did not change at all whether it was afternoon or night.
Even if we wait here for hundreds or thousands of years, the situation doesn't seem to change.
If you stay here for too long, you will just get exhausted from the heat.
Just as Cangzhi tried to move the boat back a little, Suyue suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
"I see." Su Yue said, looking at the starry sky above his head, "This is actually a very simple answer."
"What do you mean?" Cang Zhi was stunned, and everyone on the boat turned their eyes to Su Yue.
"We can actually go straight through." Su Yue said.
"What?!" the young man blurted out, "Brother, you have to understand, that is the 'insurmountable flame'. No matter what living thing gets close, it will be burned to ashes--"
He suddenly realized something and his eyes widened.
Cang Zhi, Su Chen and the man in sunglasses should have realized it at the same time, and Su Yue nodded.
"But we who came down from the ghost ship are not living creatures," Su Yue said. "We are ghosts. We can pass through fire."
Su Yue said, "The seagulls will drag all living things underwater, but we didn't encounter any danger until we reached the turbulent area. They circled around us but didn't attack us. This shows that to them, we are not living things."
"But then the seafarers attacked us." Su Chen asked, "Could it be that we were no longer ghosts by then?"
"That's certainly possible, but I'm more inclined to believe that it was some setting in the turbulent zone that caused them to attack." Su Yue remained calm, concealing the fact that Hai Ke was driven by the ghosts. "You should have noticed later that Hai Ke's condition was clearly not right."
"Indeed." After thinking for a moment, Su Chen agreed with Su Yue's opinion. However, when she looked at the flames that seemed to be able to burn everything, her face turned pale again. "But Boss... I think you should not act rashly."
"Touch your own clothes." Su Yue said.
Several people did as they were told, and then their expressions changed slightly.
"You should have noticed." Su Yue said, "Although it's hot outside, our clothes are not hot."
This shows that the fire really has no effect on them.
If what was just an inference was now a fact, they touched their hands and faces again. Although they were sweating from the heat of the flames outside, the temperature of their skin did not rise at all.
At this point, everyone agreed with Su Yue's opinion.
Even though you know it in your heart, it still requires a very strong mental preparation to actually pass through this flame.
"I'll go first." Cang Zhi volunteered.
Everyone watched Cang Zhi jump into the water. Since there were no living creatures in this area, there would be no additional danger in jumping into the water. This time he did not linger around the flames, but swam towards the flames without hesitation. His figure suddenly disappeared in the depths of the flames, as if he had traveled to another world.
There was no news from Cang Zhi over there, but it was conceivable that this would be the case. After all, the sun hanging overhead and the "insurmountable flames" gave people a feeling that "this is the end of a certain world." The man in sunglasses, Su Chen, and the young man with a ponytail swam over in turn, and Su Yue was the last to go.
When approaching the flames, even though he knew he would not be burned by the flames, the burning sensation was still very obvious. Especially when he was about to pass through the flames, Su Yue could feel the moisture around him evaporating rapidly, but he moved forward unscathed.
He paddled hard and glided through the flames as lightly as a fish.
.
The moment he passed through the flames, he felt light and slightly cool. The next moment, Su Yue was immersed in the clear blue sea. He could even clearly see the fine white sand on the seabed not far below him. It was obvious that this place and the other side of the flames were two different "maps".
Su Yue saw that everyone else was floating on the water, so he also floated to the surface, and then he saw the small island in front of him at a glance.
This is a vibrant island, covered with trees and vegetation. Su Yue and his friends are only a dozen meters away from the island. It is night now. Without the strange sun, the night sky has finally returned to its original color. A full moon is in the sky, and the moonlight shines on the island, casting a gentle and moving glow on the entire island.
Without a doubt, this is the key to the entire game, the deepest part of the map, Moonlight Island.
Su Yue took the lead and Cang Zhi followed behind. Several people boarded Moonlight Island and built a fire on the shallows to dry their clothes. During this time, Su Yue and Cang Zhi went around separately and found a temple in the dense forest.
The temple has a locked door.
The door was covered with totems of strange patterns and there was no way to get around it. Even Su Yue couldn't destroy it violently.
Soon they found two more totem poles on the beach.
When someone stands on the totem pole and presses it down with his weight, the door will open, but once he leaves the totem pole, the door will close immediately.
Moreover, it was useless to use objects to replace people. Su Yue tried to move a stone over, but the totem pole did not move at all.
The meaning is very clear. Not all of them can go in, and at least two people will be left outside the door.
