"Of course there are ways. The simplest way is to reunite more compatriots to alleviate the signs of mental madness."
"A ship must have at least a thousand people... If there are less than a thousand people, the chance of collective madness within a year is very high."
"If it were a big ship with ten thousand people, it wouldn't go crazy in ten years!"
"If there are less than a hundred people, there is a high chance that they will go crazy within a month."
"A person who enters the Sea of Demon Gods alone will go crazy within three hours." The gorgeously dressed Flaming Horned Man with gray hair and beard shook his head, "Of course, if your will is high enough, you may persist.
longer."
"How to resolve madness?" asked the young man.
"When you are looking for a world, you have to find a land no matter how hard it is. The Yanjiao people are animals that live on land. Only by setting foot on land can you feel at ease."
"Or activating the sheltering ability of the 'Source of the World' can also alleviate the signs of madness, but it can only alleviate it, not eradicate it... Alas, how difficult it is to lose your hometown..."
Seeing this, Zhang Ming's heart froze.
The matter of mental madness is indeed worthy of attention, but there is no need to worry too much, because he is currently far stronger than the strongest Flaming Horn man in history!
165 times the mental strength of ordinary humans, giving him great courage.
Even because of the heightened emotions, the spiritual value is actually at an unprecedented full value!
[Spirit: 3334/3334] (What about the Homeless? What about the Sea of Demon Gods? Now you can’t wait to challenge the Sea of Demon Gods alone to witness the hell difficulty game.)
"This attribute panel is really second-rate..." Lao Zhang couldn't help complaining.
After a while, the little white turtle finally finished its math homework and rolled over while pushing the ancestor's turtle shell. It also felt the unpleasantness ahead, shaking its head and tapping the turtle shell. p>
It's divination.
The closer you get to the mysterious area, the more thrilling a sixth sense you feel is brewing in your mind, as if there is some big crisis waiting for you ahead.
Xiaobai is not old, and his combat ability is not high. He has only learned a lot of life-saving abilities, and divination is naturally one of them.
But its divination technology...
It can only be said that it is better than nothing.
Zhang Ming also picked up the leaves of the World Tree and studied the shining "Source of the World".
Both of these supernatural items can mysteriously resonate with people's thoughts.
As long as you think about it, you can activate the "shelter" function of the source of the world, and generate a small hidden world with the ship as the core.
The leaves of the World Tree are even more mysterious, somewhere between illusion and reality.
Through the front and back of this withered leaf, one can contact the "Gaia consciousness of the Earth" and the "Gaia consciousness of the Xuanwu Continent" and sense the direction of their existence.
The two worlds adopted a warmly welcoming attitude toward Zhang Ming, who had made great contributions.
After a while, Zhang Ming slowly woke up from this contact.
"The earth - it's far, far away, so far away that it can only sense a vague direction... It's really far away to a certain extreme."
"The Turtle Island is not far away, it's right behind you."
Zhang Ming is actually quite curious as to how the function of "making a phone call" through Gaia consciousness is realized. He really wants to see his friends, tell them about his recent experiences, and tell them the fact that he has already set off.
But he is reluctant to pay for the energy of the "source of the world".
After all, we haven’t left the Xuanwu world yet, so it’s really irrational to squander energy indiscriminately...
In addition, the broadcast signals that Comrade Li Xianfeng sends conscientiously every day are also transmitted from these leaves. Although the Gaia of the earth continues to weaken, there is no problem in doing this small thing.
Zhang Ming suddenly asked: "Shimama, if I plant this leaf in the soil and identify this sailboat as a world, will it have a miraculous effect? Maybe I can plant the 'source of the world'
'?"
"The so-called world has no strict definition, right?"
"Plant it into the soil." Shimama was stunned for a moment, but seemed to have no objection.
Zhang Ming found a wooden flowerpot, got some soil from the botanical garden, and inserted the leaves of the world into it.
"This ship is our world, and the creatures on the ship are the sum total of this small world."
"If Gaia consciousness can be formed, please protect our ship and make it unsinkable."
The withered yellow leaves seemed to have no reaction, but something seemed to have happened, so that Lao Zhang watched suspiciously for a long time, and even activated his "extraordinary vision", but he could not observe the results.
"Alas, even if a small world is formed, it is too weak."
"There are only three intelligent beings, plus some vegetables and some microorganisms. How can these rags form Gaia consciousness..."
Zhang Ming sighed, put the flowerpot into the big shell, and then lay in the bedroom, listening to Comrade Li's broadcasts for eight years.
"...We strongly condemn the deployment of a large number of troops by the United States along the border. Currently, the United States has deployed one million troops and more than 100,000 drones near the border. We strongly oppose war alert actions that are not conducive to world peace."<
/p>
There was news about war every day. Lao Zhang was almost immune and rolled his eyes: "You guys go ahead and fight. We have been condemning it for so long but we still haven't fought... When will we fight and when will we broadcast it again, is that okay?"
……
The heavy rain in the mysterious area comes and goes quickly.
Until the early morning of the next day, the closed dark clouds disappeared and were replaced by a few lazy clouds like cotton wool, which reminded people of the clouds they had eaten when they were children.
There is really nothing to hesitate about this time.
After divining the weather, Xiaobai thought that the wind would be sunny and sunny in the coming period, and the wind direction was also quite suitable. Zhang Ming raised the sail excitedly, and the wooden boat crossed the dividing line bit by bit. "Sea of Demon Gods, here I come!"
Everything seemed like nothing happened, just like a small fish jumping from a lake into the sea.
The lake doesn't care.
The sea doesn't care.
Only Xiaoyu cares about himself and is extremely excited.
But at this moment, Zhang Ming suddenly felt a sense of sadness of leaving his hometown!
Even though Xuanwu Continent is not his real hometown...he has lived here for eight full years!
A sudden feeling of homesickness and strange hallucinations flooded into my mind.
Eyes, dense eyes!
The deep black ocean has infinite depth and breadth.
Buried in its deepest part are all kinds of terrifying creatures, the most conspicuous of which are huge animals including super life forms. They are crowded together and cover the bottom of the sea endlessly.
In the gaps between the giant beasts and between their legs and bellies, mammals, including intelligent species, reptiles, amphibians...
Further up, the ocean current surges black water, which is countless trilobites, sturgeons, cystic worms, jellyfish, sponges...
In the sky, hundreds of billions of birds formed a vortex of dark clouds covering the entire sky, but because of exhaustion, they fell into the sea one after another.
Everything is completely silent, and countless eyes are staring at you!
The eyes of giant beasts, the eyes of trilobites, the eyes of birds and butterflies, and...
And...
"Boom!" The lightning flashed in his mind, breaking through this obscure and strange illusion. Zhang Ming suddenly came back to his senses, panting heavily, sweating profusely, and found that his mental value had actually dropped by 330 points.
!
Almost 10%!
He endured the stinging feeling in his mind, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the endless blue-black ocean.
Breathe out, breathe out.
Breathe out, breathe out.
It took half an hour before he calmed down.
"Li Xianfeng mentioned on the radio that ordinary people will have a series of mental symptoms when entering the mysterious zone for the first time, but not many people go crazy directly."
"However, in the scene just now, the mental value was reduced by 330 points, which is enough to make an ordinary human go crazy more than ten times. Is it because my perception is relatively high, and the hallucinations produced are particularly serious?"
Zhang Ming frowned and analyzed the strange hallucination just now: "For a super being like Xuanwu, something will remain even after death. The hallucination just now may be caused by the death of something..."
"There are many powerful species that died here."
This phenomenon can be regarded as a disincentive given to him by the Sea of Demon Gods.
In addition to the psychological shock just now, he may have been affected by the long-term influence of the Demonic Sea.
In other words, he has a Debuff that reduces mental value for a long time - "Homeless Man", which is even more deadly.
Of course, mental value can be restored.
Having a good meal, playing interesting games, and learning some useful knowledge can all make him feel better.
As long as the daily recovery amount is the same as the reduction rate, the problem is not too big.
"Xiaobai, why are you so rich?" Zhang Ming smiled and pretended not to care, and looked at his friend, "Don't be afraid... be afraid that I will send you back. It's still too late to regret it now."
The little white turtle hid in the ancestral turtle shell and shivered, but soon, it poked its head out and shook its body with high morale.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
(Restore the glory of our ancestors!)
As for Shimama... there is nothing to worry about with this rotten stone. Even if Zhang Ming has been dead for ten thousand years, it might still be alive and clinging to some creature to read again.
Turning around again, the "Xuanwu World" completely disappeared.
No matter what method is used, there is no way to observe the existence of the Xuanwu world.
This is also the best evidence of "the world hides itself".
"I'm really gone this time. I hope we can meet again one day...Thank you for your protection, goodbye! Thank you very much! Goodbye!" Zhang Ming waved his hand, saying goodbye to the Xuanwu World with a little reluctance. p>
"From today on, I will live a more homeless life."
"Maybe I will encounter some scary monsters...but there is nothing to be afraid of. I am very strong now!"
Suddenly, he heard the sound of flapping wings, turned his head quickly, held his breath, his pupils dilated, and he said "um" in his throat.
Monster?!
I really encountered a monster from the Sea of Demon Gods!
Brother or sister, who are you?
Why are you on my boat?!
"Gah!!"
Shimama, who was stuck to the mast, was so happy when she saw a monster appearing. She also said "Hmm", and then repeated the uninvited guest and let out a loud "Gah".
It’s a…bird!
A very big bird!
Just standing on the deck, at a height of almost 3.8 meters, he is more than twice as tall as Lao Zhang. The aura he stands there is majestic and quite astonishing.
Its mouth is also extremely large, and there is a large throat pouch underneath.
An...enlarged version of the pelican!
"Quack, quack, quack!" The big pelican yelled at Zhang Ming with a fierce look on his face, flapping his two huge wings, creating a gust of wind, as if he wanted to challenge Zhang Ming's authority as captain.
"Did a bird from the Xuanwu World follow me...Have you forgotten the name of my mushroom monster?"
Zhang Ming suspiciously picked up the ice spear behind his back and walked forward with a murderous look on his face. Today I will have a taste of bird meat.
When the pelican saw the cold light of the ice spear, its bell-like eyes widened, as if it sensed something, and immediately stopped flapping its wings.
With a shrinking look, he took two steps back to the edge of the boat.
"Ga! Ga!" the pelican roared.
Zhang Ming tried hard to recall the types of seabirds on the desert island. It seemed that... there were no pelicans?
Otherwise, such a big bird should have left an impression.
Could it be that this pelican has been living in the mysterious area?
Thinking of this, his brows suddenly relaxed, and his desire to eat birds was greatly reduced. Instead, he wanted to find out how this guy survived, and did he have any special skills?
When Zhang Ming put down the ice spear, the pelican became arrogant again, yelled and made provocative movements: "Quack, quack, quack!"
"Can it recognize the strength of the ice spear?"
"You don't think I can't beat you without using the ice spear..." Zhang Ming thought this silly bird was interesting, so he tied the ice spear to his back and picked up a fish bone.
Spear.
Fish bones have no supernatural properties, they are just hard enough. There are hundreds of them in the warehouse.
As it turned out, the pelican was really not that scared. It screamed "Quack, quack, quack," as if it wanted to scare Zhang Ming away.
Shimama, who was stuck to the mast, discovered the novel toy and yelled back happily: "Quack, quack, quack!"
This passage has the characteristics of a mysterious spiritual language, and Zhang Ming can't help but have a vague fantasy of a pelican scolding in his mind.
As a result, the big pelican heard it himself, shook its huge head, and imagined a pelican spraying wildly at it.
The big pelican became angry. After discovering its competitor, it became more and more energetic. It raised its head and spat at Shimama, and screamed loudly, as if it would not give up until it defeated the opponent.
.
The only thing Shimama is afraid of is tongue twisters. She will not give in when she is a troll and will repeat the past exactly as it is!
So inexplicably, the first day in the mysterious area was spent in the sound of "quacking".
