Chapter 182 Wretched development, don't wave (2)
Everyone showed confusion and even panic on their faces, but Marco Polo looked excited.
"Oh, do you understand artificial excavation?" Marco Polo felt that he had already said it clearly before, but unfortunately they still didn't understand, "This is not a natural sea, it was dug by hand, and its status is similar to an inland river!
Simply put, it is not the islands that divide the originally connected sea area, but the water area that divides the originally connected islands.
Moreover, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east. Although it is not obvious enough, you can still see it by carefully observing the water. They artificially led the sea water to the west of this place to the east."
"So, as you say, this is just a river that was chiseled. Is the river so wide?" Baili Xuance raised his eyes and looked at the vast water surface, expressing his doubts without any concealment.
"Why, do you look down on the river?" Marco Polo learned from Baili Xuance's usual way of raising his eyebrows and teased with a smile.
Baili Xuance couldn't help but give Marco Polo a blank look when he heard this, "Who usually looks down on He?"
A navigator like Marco Polo has countless seas in his mind and no river in his heart.
Marco Polo was defeated and stopped quarreling with Baili Xuance, and instead explained:
"This river is different from other rivers. This river is almost as wide as the sea. So I want to see what kind of human resources technology can dig such a river. And what do they want to do when they introduce these sea water.
The end of the lower reaches of this river must be much more interesting than the other side, or even the place we are going to."
After Marco Polo explained, the panicked expression gradually faded from everyone's faces, but there was no big reaction. Especially, there was no reaction Marco Polo had expected at all.
Everyone just looked at Marco Polo quietly, as if Marco Polo had not finished speaking.
"No..." Marco Polo was discomfortably seen by everyone, "Aren't you curious? Live on an island with sea water all around you, why do you need to chisel a piece and divide the island into four?"
"No curious." Everyone shook their heads in a strange tacit understanding, and even Baili Xuance, who had always been curious, did not leave.
Marco Polo was choked and said nothing for a moment. He calmed down and couldn't help but grab Baili Xuance and asked, "Why? Why don't you feel curious at all?"
Baili Xuance was grabbed by Marco Polo and his shoulders were slightly hurt, but he held back, just silently glanced at the two packs of snacks in his arms, and then said righteously: "The tiger doesn't give much snacks. We calculated yesterday, and it just reached the original island."
Baili Xuance’s implication is very obvious - if you change your route casually, it is easy for everyone to lose their appetite, do you know?
Although the original route does not lead directly to the other side, it does not have to go all the way to the end of the river like now. Who knows how long this river is and how much time they will take more than before.
Marco Polo's lips sagged and said incredibly: "Are you going out for adventures or traveling around?"
During the adventure, isn’t it normal to have short water and food shortage?
At worst, when he got there, he started looking for food. He didn't believe that everything was like Pei Qinhu's place, except for dogtail grass and orchids.
"What do you think?" Gongsun Li asked in a cold manner. She remembered that this question was not the first time Marco Polo asked.
Marco Polo instantly recalled the advertisements he and Baili Xuance in the Qingyu Sect, and he really wanted to travel back and change the slogan.
Anyway, the money I got is not circulated in this world of spending, and now it is no different from a stack of waste paper.
"Then, that..." Marco Polo immediately made up a new accusation reason, "Generally speaking, the land downstream of the river will be fertile and densely populated. We will most likely not be hungry when we go there, but we can replenish the supply.
so,1adys and gent1emen, let’s go and brush your equipment together!”
Marco Polo became more and more excited as he spoke. Everyone was not moved. He was already very moved. If it weren't for the lack of room on the ship, he would have stood up and walked two steps now.
"No." Everyone shook their heads and said in unison: "Don't slutty breed, don't be slutty."
When it comes to verbal battles, Marco Polo alone can definitely not be able to say a group of people.
So after seeing everyone's firm and unified attitude, the excitement flashing in Marco Polo's eyes dimmed little by little, and he even gave up the strategies of defeating them.
Marco Polo lowered his head, picked up the oar weakly, fiddled with it as if he had accepted his fate, and began to adjust the direction of the boat.
When the Qingyu Sect inspires everyone to come out, Marco Polo thought that this time he could embark on an unknown journey with a group of "like-minded" friends.
But he never expected that he would be a boatman who had no independent decision in the end, and could only shaking his oars and sighing endlessly.
After Marco Polo accepted his fate, Li Bai thought about it, but finally took out the map and looked at the situation depicted on the map.
Judging from the map, the island where Pei Qinhu is located is located in the north of this water area, occupying a huge area, almost occupying the entire north, and even faintly encircling the east and west. Imageally, Pei Qinhu's island is crescent-shaped.
The other three directions are all small islands with scattered stars. If the map is accurate, there are four small islands from west to south; there are seven from south to east.
The island originally planned by Li Bai and his team was the largest of all islands from the west to the south. The place Marco Polo wanted to go to was also the largest of the seven islands from the south to the east.
However, this water area is very wide and long. The route to the island to the east is obviously more than twice as long as the route to the island to the southwest.
Seeing this, Li Bai frowned.
Longer, more changes will occur.
As Baili Xuance said, Li Bai was worried that there was not enough food to eat, on the one hand; on the other hand, he was even more afraid of encountering uncontrollable dangers.
Their goal of this trip is to go to the center of Huahua World. According to the map, the center of Huahua World is in the southwest, so there is no need for them to go east.
However, Li Bai stared at the route that had grown more than twice as many times as possible on the map. His mind was turbulent, and the light in his eyes was bright and fainted several times. Finally, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Let's go east to take a look."
"Why?" Gongsun Li asked subconsciously.
Marco Polo raised his head, his eyes instantly filled with anticipation.
When Zhen Ji heard this, she also stared at the long line and said, "Li Jianxian thinks that at such a big cost, the island in the east must be the most exciting of these many islands?"
Marco Polo's words are not entirely false propaganda, but there is still some truth in it.
Li Bai turned his head and looked at Zhen Ji sitting beside him, smiled, and said, "It's still Ah Mi who understands me the best."
