C2347 Great Xia Water Continent
The pier is big.
There are at least a few thousand ships docked along the pier, and a large portion of them are being transported by large docking containers. Countless cranes are busy unloading and loading...
They were very busy.
The cargo ship that Wang Xiao and the others boarded was Peace 11.
It was a huge cargo ship that weighed tens of thousands of tonnes. There were dozens of sailors on the ship. It was very imposing.
At this moment, the crew members of Peace 11 were quickly loading up.
Large containers were being loaded onto the cargo ship through the cranes, and the food line was also sinking.
Wang Xiao and the other three walked on the deck. Under the lead of Fatty, they slowly walked towards the driver's seat.
Young Master Hua seemed very bored along the way. Looking at the male sailors, Young Master Hua was very disappointed. "Little brother, are all the crew members male?"
"Yes," the fat man said.
"Why are there no beautiful sailors?" Young Master Hua asked. Young Master Hua pursed his lips. He seemed to think that such an arrangement was unreasonable.
The fat man explained, "Uhh... Because cargo ships like us drift on the sea all year round. We also have to be responsible for transporting goods and other heavy physical work. Normal female crew members can't handle this kind of work. Naturally, they're not willing to participate in the work! Besides, Our route has to cross several dangerous waterways and straits every time. Pirates and bandits often appear. Robbing and robbing houses is a common occurrence. Let alone the female crew members, even the male crew members are unwilling to participate in this ship. Nowadays, the salary of the workers was getting higher and higher. "However, it's getting harder and harder to hire people."
Speaking up to this point, Fatty pointed at the crew members who were moving the goods around him and said in a soft, helpless voice, "Look, these crew members are all temporary recruits. All of them are old veterans. They were forced to come here to take part in the adventure due to their livelihood."
Wang Xiao looked at the crew members around him and found that they were all old, weak, and disabled. They did not look like the configuration of a proper shipping company.
Wang Xiao asked, "We have to pass through many dangerous straits and rivers on our way to Jinlu?"
Wang Xiao did not understand.
According to Wang Xiao's knowledge, it should be fine to travel from Pinghai Province to Jinlu through the Pacific Ocean. In the middle of the ocean, there was no channel or river.
The fat man explained, "Gang Master Wang, you don't know anything. The path we take is different from the normal one. As for the specific route, our captain will explain it to Gang Master Wang in detail."
Wang Xiao nodded. "Thank you."
The fat man smiled and said, "Gang Master Wang is too polite. This is what I should do."
Young Master Hua said, "Little brother, there are no female crew members on the ship. You go out to sea for ten days and half a month. What if you get lonely halfway?"
Wang Xiao glanced at Young Master Hua helplessly.
Wang Xiao felt that Young Master Hua was too lecherous. Moreover, his lecherous nature was blatantly shown without any disguise.
As expected, he was the same as Sun Dafu.
Wang Xiao couldn't help but quicken his pace and walk to the front. He did not want to walk side by side with Young Master Hua. Gu Loong and Elder Yao also quickly walked forward, no longer with Young Master Hua.
The fat man was also speechless at Young Master Hua, but under the invisible pressure, he still answered honestly, "What else can we do? We can only think of a way to solve it ourselves."
Young Master Hua was disappointed. "Is your captain the same?"
The fat man was confused. "What do you mean?"
Young Master Hua laughed. "Do you think your captain will take Honey with him?"
The fat man shook his head and said, "No. Our captain is not that kind of person!"
The fat man looked down on Young Master Hua. He thought Young Master Hua was too vulgar. However, the fat man did not dare to show it. He could only patiently explain, "Our captain has been working on shipping for thirty years. He has experienced countless setbacks and storms. However, there has never been a single thing that has ruined the captain's morals. Our captain is the role model for many shipping companies! "
Young Master Hua was not interested in whether the captain was a role model. He was disappointed.
Young Master Hua still did not give up. He asked. "Will you stop somewhere along the way?"
Fatty said, "Of course. The sailing route we take is different from what ordinary people know. It is a long journey. We need to stop three to five times to complete the supply of oil, food, and water. Otherwise, we can just go to Jinlu. "
Young Master Hua's eyes lit up. So, there must be many cities and towns parked along the way? "
Fatty said, "Of course. " We parked the biggest towns along the way, and it was very bustling. Most of them are paradise for many navigators and adventurers. "
"That is enough. That is enough..." Young Master Hua started to look forward to the future while drooling. He thought there must be a lot of beautiful women in the towns that were docked. He would definitely have fun when the time came... Oh no, it was not as simple as playing around. If Young Master Hua wanted to get drunk and die, he would just find dozens of beautiful women and then surround himself in the middle, living the life of an emperor.
"Kakaka..."
Young Master Hua was very happy. He could not hide the smile on his face when he caught up with Wang Xiao and the others.
Wang Xiao looked at him and asked, "Young Master Hua, why are you smiling so happily?"
Young Master Hua laughed and said, I say, brother, life is short, you need to enjoy it as soon as possible. I say, you people are the immemorial tablets. You don't know how to find happiness in time. " You are like me, Mr. Hua. Although I just set sail, I have already planned a happy journey in the future. "
Wang Xiao said slightly. "This time, we have a great responsibility. We are on the verge of death. Many people are worried. Why did you say it was a happy journey? "
Young Master Hua laughed. Hehe, brother, you are not Sun Dafu. Even if I told you, you would not understand. I will not tell you. "
Wang Xiao was speechless. He didn't want to waste any more time talking to Young Master Hua.
"Gang Master Wang, this is the cockpit. The captain is inside. You guys go in!" Fatty opened the door of the cockpit for Wang Xiao and the others and welcomed them in. "My name is Fatty Seven. I am the captain's assistant. If Gang Master Wang needs anything, please tell me to do it at any time."
Fatty Seven was very respectful to them. Wang Xiao nodded slightly. "Alright, thank you."
It seemed that Lei Ming was quite reliable. The ticket he got for himself was very high.
After entering the cockpit, Wang Xiao saw a large control room. As a huge cargo ship, it was equipped with all the necessary equipment. It was very complicated.
On the other side of the cockpit, there was a large leisure space.
There was a huge leather sofa with a very stylish mahogany coffee table in the middle. It was very tall.
The captain was sitting on the sofa making a pot of tea. When he saw Wang Xiao and the others come in, he got up and greeted them warmly. "Gang Master Wang, please sit."
After welcoming the four of them to their seats, Wang Xiao started to size up the captain.
He saw the captain was in his forties. His blue eyes showed that he was a foreigner or a mixed-blood.
What surprised Wang Xiao was that he was an expert.
Earth Rank!
Even a captain needed to reach the Earth Rank realm?
Could it be that this shipping route is really dangerous?
"Gang Master Wang, I knew you would come a long time ago, so I prepared some good tea for you. Everyone, please! " The captain poured a cup of tea for the four of them, then he also brought a cup of tea himself and slowly drank it.
Wang Xiao said slightly, "The tea is good!"
The captain smiled. "My name is Mark. I am a gold mixed. Gang Master Wang has brought honor to my ship."
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Captain Mark, you are too polite. I will have to trouble you on the way to Jinlu this time."0
Mark was very respectful. "Gang Master Wang, please don't say that. It is my honor to be able to help you go to Jinlu. However, the living conditions of this ship were very simple. I'm afraid that Gang Master Wang will be wronged. "
Wang Xiao said, "By the way, Captain Mark. I just heard that our ship does not use normal sailing routes. "
Mark looked around and said, "That's right. Because we are going through illegal routes this time, we cannot use normal channels. "
Young Master Hua asked, "Could it be that there are other channels to travel from here to Jinlu other than crossing the Pacific Ocean?"
Mark smiled. "Yes! We do smuggle all year long on the Peace. We have never been on an ordinary sailing route."
"What route did you take?" Young Master Hua asked.
Mark said, "We go to the Great Xia Water Continent."
"The Great Xia Water Continent?" Wang Xiao did not understand. Wang Xiao had never heard of this term before.
Mark said, Gang Master Wang spent most of his time in Huaxia, so it's normal for him not to know about the Great Xia Water Continent. Actually, the Great Xia Water Continent is a special sailing route. It was discovered by ancient adventurers. "
Wang Xiao was very curious. "I'm all ears."
Mark said, "There was a poet named Li Taibai in the Tang Dynasty. He wrote a poem that had been passed down for thousands of years. The Yellow River water came from the sky and flowed to the sea. It never came back. It was not the Yellow River water that ordinary people understood. It was the Great Xia Water Continent."
Wang Xiao murmured the poem. He felt that the poem was filled with a vast aura of the universe. "The Yellow River water in Li Taibai's poem came from the sky. Ordinary people could understand it because the Yellow River was too vast. The waterfall hung upside down, as if it came from the sky. Actually, it did not seem like it, but it really came from the sky. It's just that this sky isn't the sky that ordinary people call it. It's the Great Xia Water Continent."
Wang Xiao and the others were very serious. Mark continued, "You guys must be very curious. Where is the Great Xia Water Continent?"
Mark pointed to the sky above his head and said, "In fact, the Great Xia Water Continent is in the sky above us. It's just that ordinary people can't see it."
Young Master Hua stared at the sky above him. "Since the Great Xia Water Continent is above us, why can't we see it?"
Mark said, "We can't see it with the naked eye because it's the Great Xia Water Continent!"
Young Master Hua did not understand.
Mark turned to Wang Xiao and said, "The water on the Great Xia Water Continent is the water from the sky. It contains spiritual energy. Every grass, tree, and tree on the Great Xia Water Continent contains spiritual energy. Therefore, the entire world of the Great Xia's water continent is able to float above our heads. "Because they have spiritual energy."
Wang Xiao was stunned. "There is such a good thing? There is actually a place full of spiritual energy in this world?"
Mark said, "That's right. Not only do ordinary people not know about the Great Xia Water Continent, but even many powerful cultivators do not know about it. "
Wang Xiao was stunned. If he hadn't heard so much from Mark today, he wouldn't have known about the existence of the Great Xia Water Continent.
Mark continued, "Ordinary people only know that there are seven continents and four oceans in the world. Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. What they do not know is that there is actually still the fifth ocean, the Great Xia Water Continent!"
