Chapter 235 Active Volcano



The next day, the fleet continued to head south. Wang Zhen followed the instructions of his master and still deviated slightly to the east instead of heading directly south.

As the fleet moved southward, it felt a little hotter every day, and after three days everyone changed into thin clothes.

After drifting in the boundless sea for three days, everyone fell silent, and Li Zhi looked into the distance with a deep look in his eyes.

The little ones no longer had the initial excitement, so Wang Zheng had to tell them stories, ask them to help with cooking, and teach them how to fish in order to distract them so that they could feel time passing more easily.

Fortunately, there are plenty of oranges, wine, and rice wine on the ship, as well as beans. All we have to do is burn coal to distill the seawater and grow some bean sprouts. There's no need to worry about vitamins.

"Legend has it that Penglai Island is in the South China Sea. There are flowers that never fade, rare animals, elixirs of immortality, and gods and gods with great powers. However, legend has it that Penglai Island is dragged by an old turtle, so it moves around everywhere. Whether you can encounter it depends on fate."

The king was sitting on the deck, talking animatedly, and the little ones in front of him were listening with great interest.

Xiao Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "So, we have to go there quietly. As long as we get to the big island, no matter how big the turtle is, it can't bite us. After all, a turtle can't bite anything on its back."

Li Dan nodded vigorously and agreed: "Senior sister, I will help you play it when the time comes."

Wang Zheng put down the telescope and nodded, "According to the records, this is indeed a volcano, but it is unusually large, and the smoke and dust it spews out is harmful to the human body.

Wang Zhen ran over from the bow with an excited look on his face, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Sir, we have discovered land. It is a very large piece of land, and there are wonders on the land."

Several little guys watched with telescopes, exclaiming from time to time. The pent-up anger in their hearts had long since disappeared.

Then Li Zhi turned around and looked at Wang Zheng and asked, "Why did the chief steward speak so freely about these things?"

Wang Zheng was silent, and finally sighed and said: "I don't know whether it is true or not, but in my opinion, if there are really gods in the world, they must have a seat in the court, because in terms of natural resources, China is definitely second to none."

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Haha, the chief steward is really confident in his country."

Li Zhi nodded, sat cross-legged beside Li Dan, and said, "Since we have discussed it, let's talk about it when we meet."

Wang Zheng was also watching the wonder in the distance. It was indeed a huge active volcano. There were no active volcanoes in the Central Plains, and the few active volcanoes in the entire Chinese land were all on the border. It was natural for Li Zhi and others to be curious.

Wang Zheng explained with a smile: "It's just a story. It all has a routine. Just follow the legend and exaggerate it a little. Of course, when telling a story, you can set a line and then slowly fill it in."

At each level, he is given some skills, elixirs, magic weapons, enemies, friends, beauties, and masters. Mixing these together makes for a wonderful story."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "For example?"

Then we can use 30 large ships to pull it back to Hong Kong no matter how big it is. If that doesn’t work, we can send more large ships over. We can always pull it back. From now on, Penglai Island will be called Hong Kong Island.”

Li Zhi came over from the bow and stood behind Wang Zheng. He looked strange and said, "It's hard to drag such a big turtle back home, as it can carry the island around."

Li Zhi took the telescope and looked carefully into the distance, and found that there was indeed a large piece of land. It was so large that the boundary could not be seen even from a long distance away. There was a high mountain above the land, and thick smoke continued to rise from the top of the mountain like a chimney, forming a huge cloud of smoke in the sky.

Wang Zheng thought about it and said with a smile: "For example, if a young man wants to cultivate immortality, we can first set up some levels of immortals according to the legend, and then let the young man cultivate to the next level.

Xiao Yuehua said, "Maybe the big turtle is hiding in the water, waiting for us to let our guard down so that when we pass by, it will suddenly pop its head out and bite us."

Li Zhi got up with an excited look on his face, walked quickly to the bow, and asked, "What wonder is this?"

Li Dan looked carefully at the land in the distance and said with some disappointment, "It seems that there really is no big turtle."

It would be best if everyone on the boat wore sunglasses and covered their mouths and noses with cloths just in case. We will slowly approach and explore the surroundings first. Once we are sure it is safe, we can discuss landing on the island."

Wang Zheng puffed out his chest and said, "Of course, I am proud to be a Chinese, and this heart has not changed for thousands of years."

"Does the chief steward think this is a volcano?"

Wang Zhen followed behind and explained, "Some of them sound like the volcano stories from the border areas, but I have never seen a volcano, so I don't know if it is true or not."

Li Zhi nodded without comment. After pondering for a while, he sighed and said, "There were novelists before the Qin Dynasty. Could it be that the legends about gods and immortals were just stories made up by those guys?"

Xiao Yuehua waved her fist angrily and snorted, "If I catch that old turtle, I will beat it up, then put it in a big iron chain and take it back to Hong Kong to keep it, so that it won't run around and Your Majesty won't be able to find it."

Li Zhi nodded.

Li Dan was a little worried now. "What should we do? If the entire land is an island, then this turtle is too big. One bite from it will surely tear our boat apart."

Li Dan imitated Xiao Yuehua and waved his fist, saying, "Father, we are not afraid. I have discussed it with Senior Sister. We will shoot it with the Eight Oxen Crossbow first, but we have to replace the spear tip with an iron dart, otherwise it will be shot to death. The iron dart is specifically used to shoot its head and stun it.

Land appeared in sight, but it was actually still very far away. Wang Zheng's worries were a bit unnecessary because the volcano was actually in the middle of the land and the smoke and dust from the eruption could not drift to the seaside at all.

The two little guys’ worries naturally wouldn’t arise.

However, without the giant turtle, no one in the fleet went to the island for the time being. Instead, they circled around the island, wanting to see how big it was.

An hour later, Li Zhi became impatient. "This is not an island at all, but a continent. Let's find a place to go ashore and take a look. The island is lush and green, and I don't know if anyone lives there."

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go around again. Since the land is so vast, there must be rivers. It will be more convenient to go up along the river."
