However, this earthquake came and went away quickly.
In less than half an hour, the entire sea returned to calm.
Only then did the crew and soldiers truly feel relieved.
Immediately, everyone looked expectantly at the giant steel ship at the front with the "Jin" flag flying high.
They believed that His Highness King Jin would definitely have an explanation for these things.
"According to the books I read, the earth we are on is actually a big water ball.
At the very center of the earth is a ball of fire and water, and then outward is a layer of rocky soil.
Then, beyond that is the sea, and the continents we live on are all continents made of rocks and soil stuck together, floating on the sea.
Normally, these continents don't move.
However, as long as there is some stimulation, these continents will directly collide with each other, and the situation just now will occur, earthquakes..."
"Master, when the volcano erupted, did the two continents begin to squeeze each other and erupt the fire and water underground?"
Suddenly, Li Baoding's eyes lit up and he asked thoughtfully.
Li Xuan glanced at Li Baoding with admiration and nodded slowly.
"What you speculated is correct, it is exactly for this reason! And this small island is right at the junction of the continent where we are and the continent opposite. As long as the two continents touch even slightly, an earthquake will occur.
A volcanic eruption occurred!..."
"It's so true!"
After hearing this, all the little bastards looked shocked.
Today, they learned another profound knowledge.
The soldiers around him were all standing far away, looking at Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others who were surrounding Li Xuan with envy on their faces.
Only this group of young gentlemen can listen to His Royal Highness the King of Jin speak about the Book of Heaven.
However, they can listen to part of the content of the heavenly book passed down by these young men, which means that the smoke coming out of the ancestral grave means good luck.
Soon, these soldiers and crew members were all shocked.
Xue Rengui walked to the stern of the ship again, picked up the big iron horn, and began to explain the causes of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that he had just heard from the king according to the words he understood.
Even as I continue to talk, the general meaning has deviated quite a bit.
However, the crew members and soldiers still listened with interest.
His Highness, Prince Jin, is the reincarnation of a sage, and he even knows the way the heaven and earth rotate.
A few days later.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Li Xuan, Li Baoding and others looked ahead cautiously.
In the past few days, the fog among the islands in this sea area has become thicker and thicker. Li Xuan, Li Baoding and others did not dare to be careless.
"Plop!"
Suddenly, a loud noise came from the right side of the fleet.
Li Xuan, Li Baoding and others were all startled and quickly turned to look to the right side of the ship.
"What fell into the water?"
"Hui...Hui Jin Wang, no one fell into the water!"
The soldiers standing on the right had their eyes wide open and their faces full of shock, as if they had seen something incredible.
"Where did that sound come from?"
Li Xuan didn't pay attention and continued to ask.
"Back to King Jin, it seems that not far from the fleet, a big fish jumped out of the water, and then made a noise!"
A soldier replied with a strange look on his face. They just took a glance at it and didn't see it very clearly.
"Big fish?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chusi couldn't help but get a little angry, "Who are you kidding? We are standing on a big ship, so high away from the sea. Even if you fall, you may not be able to make such a loud noise!"
"Back to the Cheng family, Da Lang, what a big fish!"
The soldiers still stuttered and said.
Hearing this, Cheng Chusi couldn't help but stare, and said: "Since it is a big fish, can you tell me where the big fish is?"
"Otherwise, you can come and practice with me later!"
"Maybe it's really a big fish!"
On the side, Li Xuan saw so many soldiers with strange faces, and kept looking into the distance from time to time. He couldn't help but think of something, and suddenly said.
"Master, do you really believe what these bastards say?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chusi was startled and said quickly: "How can there be such a big fish here? Maybe these guys are dazzled by staring at the sea for so long..."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Chusi froze, his eyes suddenly widened and he stared into the distance.
Beside them, Li Baoding, Xue Rengui, and a whole boat full of soldiers were all staring into the distance, their mouths opening wide subconsciously.
Not far away on the right side of the fleet, a fish larger than the steel giant ship they were riding jumped out of the sea.
"Plop!"
With a familiar loud noise, the big fish crashed into the sea, splashing up a huge water column.
Then, before Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others could recover, several large fish of the same size jumped out again around the place where the big fish hit them.
Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others swore that they had never seen such a big fish coming, or even heard of it.
"Is this the Sea Dragon King's family outing?"
After no more big fish jumped out of the sea, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others slowly came to their senses.
"What Sea Dragon King? This is a whale, the largest whale in the world!"
Li Xuan said with emotion.
"whale?"
After saying this, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others hurriedly looked at Li Xuan, wanting to listen to Li Xuan's explanation.
Seeing this, in order to let these little bastards understand the sea, instead of starting to make a fuss when they see something they haven't seen before, and finally involve the sea god, creating an atmosphere of panic for the fleet.
Li Xuan then began to say: "Whales should be the largest fish in the sea. The largest whale in the sea is bigger than the steel giant ship we are riding on, and a meal will cost hundreds of stones of fish and shrimp!
If such a big whale jumped up and hit us, our ship would be smashed directly into the sea and turned into pieces..."
"hiss……"
After hearing this, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others couldn't help but take a deep breath.
After a while, Cheng Chusi seemed to remember something, looked at Li Xuan with admiration, and said: "Master, you just kept asking me to wait because you knew there were such big whales in the sea, and you were afraid that they would smash our ship.
The fleet must be sailing along these coastlines!"
"Fortunately, our fleet did not sail in the middle of the sea, otherwise if these big whales got on it, we would all be smashed into the sea!"
Li Xuan glared at Cheng Chusi helplessly, "These whales usually don't sit idle and jump up to smash your boat!"
"I am afraid that the fleet will encounter wind and waves higher than the giant ship in the sea, or lose its way, and we will definitely die. Therefore, we have been sailing along the coastline..."
…
It was more than a month later.
"Your Majesty, a large continent appears in front of you!"
Xue Rengui walked over with a serious look on his face, "According to the general's observation, that continent is bigger than Japan!"
"mainland?"
Li Xuan was startled, and then shouted to Li Baoding.
"Bring me the map!"
"Yes, Master!"
Soon, a one-foot-square map was placed flatly on the table in front of several people.
"I should have arrived at this big island!"
Subconsciously, I raised my head and looked around. There was nothing but the sea.
Li Xuan shook his head helplessly and pointed at a huge island on the map with the pen in his hand.
"After passing thousands of small islands in a row, we finally came to a big island!"
