At night, the wind and waves in the Oro Strait became stronger, and the temperature began to get colder, on the deck of the Aurora, the sailors on the ship were busy repairing some of the facilities damaged by the deep sea monster with the lights on, and the metal railing on the left side of the ship's side where Zhang Tie was located had been mostly destroyed, and the sailors and seamen on the ship used ropes to knot a net and pulled up a guardrail on the side to prevent someone from accidentally falling.
With the temperature of the sea in the Aoluo Strait, if an ordinary person really falls, even if he can swim, it will be difficult to hold on to the water for five minutes and he will die of hypothermia.
The aurora that anchored and stopped was more bumpy than it was during operation, so the sailors standing on the deck were cautious one by one.
Tonight, the stars in the sky are dim, and the sea is also dark, and the fluorite lamps hanging on the side of the ship can not only illuminate the place of more than ten meters on the side of the ship, but also farther away, the surging waves are like endless black mountains one after another, blocking people's sight.
Of course, the so-called darkness is only for ordinary people, for Zhang Tie, after he stimulated his dark vision, there is not much difference between the so-called day and night, the so-called night and darkness, that is, there is an extra layer of golden background light in Zhang Tie's dark vision.
The corpse of the deep-sea monster that was floating not far from the Aurora a few hours ago and the hundred-meter-long giant tentacles on the sea surface are no longer visible when standing on the ship at this moment, and if that thing is on the sea, as long as the wind and waves are strong, it will be blown south and drift away.
Zhang Tie came from the stairs on the left side of the deck to the bottom deck area of the Aurora.
A manager on the Aurora was surrounded by fifty or sixty passengers who were somewhat agitated at the staircase of the lower deck, and Zhang Tie managed to squeeze through the crowd.
The crowd was in a mess, many were shouting, others were crying, "I repeat that none of the ships sailing from the island of St.
Hena to the Ice and Snow Wasteland have any insurance, and no trade group or insurance company is willing to insure the ships and passengers on this route to and from the Oro Strait, which is the most dangerous route, and for hundreds of years, we cannot provide any financial compensation to the passengers who have died today, except to mourn and express regret, and your ticket does not include the cost of insurance, as you can see from the place where you bought the ticket."
The ship's management was explaining loudly, but his explanation was quickly drowned out by a large number of angry voices.
Zhang Tie couldn't manage such a thing, and it had nothing to do with Zhang Tie, so Zhang Tie just silently walked to the lower deck, the rooms in the ordinary cabin were above the three decks of the Aurora, and below the three decks of the Aurora were the economy class and the cargo cabin on the ship.
The hull below the third floor was also attacked by the Deep Sea Monster, and there was some damage, but it was not as serious as the damage suffered above the third floor.
Like above, the bottom area of the Aurora was also very lively at this time, with a large number of crew members gathered in the middle of the hull, using several crane towers, steel ropes and pulley sets to pull up a section of tentacles of the severed deep-sea monster with a length of more than 50 meters from under the ship.
Among the tentacles of the deep sea monster, the length of this tentacle is short, about half the length of the original, but its weight, Zhang Tie observed, it is estimated that it is also hundreds of tons Many people living in economy class are watching the excitement below, and some even come forward to help, and hundreds of people are busy here.
The sailors were commanded by a fat man in a chef's uniform.
"Everyone be careful, the deep sea monster is the top ingredient in the sea, much more delicious than the octopus meat you have eaten, those who like sea food are willing to pay a lot of money to eat this, but unfortunately, the Aurora is already fully loaded, and this thing cannot be kept for a long time on the ship, or it will deteriorate and stink in two days, if you can transport the body of this deep sea monster back, then you will be rich" "Chef Haig, is the meat of this deep sea monster really as good as you say," a crew member at work asked aloud.
"Of course," the fat chef said proudly, "you don't look at its tentacles so thick, in fact, its meat is very tender when cooked, a bit like a sea cucumber, and this kind of deep-sea monster, its flesh contains very high nutrients, and this creature is full of qi and blood energy, which is very beneficial to people, and eating this kind of meat often can make people get a stronger physique, I heard that in the past, those powerful Slavic tribes in the ice and snow wasteland were masters like Mr.
Samaranch, They will regularly go out to sea to hunt the deep sea monsters, and use the flesh of the deep sea monsters to train the powerful warriors of the tribe."
"Haha, then we'll have a good fortune in the next few days."
"Come on, boys, I'll give you a taste of the Kraken barbecue in a while, and I'll let you eat until your tongues fall off" The head chef waved his hand imposingly, and the sailors on the ship cheered, cheered together, and worked harder.
The words of the ship's head chef named Haig strengthened Zhang Tie's determination even more, if he let these good things float away in front of his eyes, it would be like a crime.
Beneath the stern deck of the Aurora is its engine room, which is noisy, low-level, and filled with a strange smell of turpentine, so it is rarely visited, especially at night, when it is quieter.
Only two gray fluorite lamps lit up in the entire stern section, barely illuminating a small area, all around it was pitch black, there were few people around the deck near the stern and on both sides of the ship's side, and the sound of the surging waves crashing against the hull of the ship was all around the stern, and the waves splashed from both sides of the ship and flew to the deck.
Zhang Tie came to the stern, looked at it, and found that there was indeed no one around, so the whole person jumped lightly, and without making a sound, he threw himself into the sea from the aft deck.
At the moment when he just entered the water, Zhang Tie activated the rune effect of a swift movement technique in his sea of consciousness.
As soon as he fell into the water, Zhang Tie felt the undercurrents of the sea water surging under the action of the strong north wind.
On a small scale, the undercurrents in the sea go southward, but when the undercurrents go south, there are also some undercurrents around that are surging northward, and the backwells compensate for some strange voids in the ocean created by the southward surging waters and undercurrents.
Although this is only a small area of water ripples, it also forms a cycle full of strange charm, and on a larger scale, Zhang Tie knows that the opposite of the most famous southward northerly drift here is a northward compensating current generated in this sea.
The ocean currents here are also bright and dark, south and north, yin and yang, and there are medium-sized currents under the large ocean currents, and there are small undercurrents under the medium-sized ocean currents, and there are smaller surges under those small undercurrents.
Although these currents are different in size, they are an organic whole, each of which is connected to each other, and its existence structure is exactly the same regardless of its size, even if it is the ocean current across thousands of miles of sea or the surge in a small area around Zhang Tie at this moment, it presents a strange homogeneous characteristic in the difference.
A strange realization arose from Zhang Tie's heart, at this moment, Zhang Tie's mind thought of the Taiji diagram representing the traditional Chinese culture, Zhang Tie felt that the back and forth of the ocean current completely formed a perfect Taiji cycle, and in this cycle there was also a certain strange law with the construction of geometric fractal laws.
There seems to be some mystery hidden in the middle.
Zhang Tie's head suddenly lit up with a little light, and the shadows of several vague thoughts flashed in his mind.
Just when Zhang Tie was slightly stunned and wanted to take a good taste of this feeling, the aura that appeared in his mind disappeared all of a sudden, so that Zhang Tie could no longer catch it, so he could only give up temporarily and put aside those strange thoughts and thoughts.
Although Zhang Tie was still wearing a piece of clothing in the sea, the thin piece of clothing did not affect his activities at all, he was like a fish, he felt the direction of the flow of the surrounding sea water a little, and as soon as he turned around, he dived towards the south.
The deep sea monster is a creature with a very strong sense of territory, which is the characteristic of almost all powerful creatures, generally if there is such a deep sea monster here, it is impossible to have any powerful sea monsters within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, which is why Zhang Tie dared to let go into the sea so boldly.
Although Zhang Tie is already very confident in his speed in the water, and feels that it is impossible for any sea creature to swim faster than himself in the water, no one can say what kind of surprise this mysterious sea can bring to him, in case this thing is a male and a female.
Zhang Tie didn't want to rely on his current small body to face the same deep-sea monster in the sea again.
With this in mind, Zhang Tie raised his vigilance and carefully searched for it in the sea.
Zhang Tie's search route is to start from the stern of the boat, in a Z-shaped fan to search south, with his own feeling in the sea, Zhang Tie knows that the tentacles and bodies of the deep-sea monsters drifting or half-sinking into the sea, during this time, at most, they have moved dozens of kilometers to the south, and the size and tentacles of the deep-sea monsters are too big and too long, if there is such a thing in the water, it is absolutely impossible to miss it if he searches south in this way along the direction of the wind and the direction of the sea surge.
Zhang Tie's speed was very fast, just a few minutes, as soon as he left the Aurora at a certain distance, he increased his speed in the water to the level that he had been rushing in the sea a few days ago, because during this time, after eating a bunch of fruits, his strength and physical endurance increased a little, and slowly, Zhang Tie's speed in the water exceeded the maximum value he could reach a few days ago.
Zhang Tie felt like driving a supercar in the water, his body was the body of the supercar, and the size of the runoff that he controlled through his mental power to suck the seawater into the Black Iron Castle was the accelerator, which was very enjoyable.
And under his dark vision, the scenery in the sea is still colorful in front of him, the whole sea is a golden ocean, all kinds of fish, shrimp and sea creatures one by one or even in groups of people cross by him.
The sea is windy and rough, but below the surface it is relatively calm.

After only a few minutes of cruising in the sea, Heller's voice appeared in Zhang Tie's mind again, and the spatial and terrain transformation of the Black Iron Castle was completed.
On the premise that the basic energy reserves, merit and aura values of the Black Iron Castle were almost exhausted, at this moment, a low-temperature ice cave with a length of about 600 meters and a width and height of more than 100 meters had been constructed below the northernmost 100 meters underground of the Black Iron Castle.
Because this ice cave is purely used as a grain warehouse, Heller used the regular geometry used in standard buildings when constructing it, and the entire low-temperature ice cave is a large square warehouse, which is divided into 21 large and small natural intervals.
The temperature of the entire ice cave was controlled by Heller below minus 45 degrees Celsius at the time of generation, and the humidity and other indicators of the entire ice cave space are the most suitable for storing food.
It was only through the space gate of the Black Iron Castle that he sensed the situation of the entire ice cave a little, and Zhang Tie knew it in his heart.
"By the way, does this ice cave need a lot of energy from the Black Iron Castle to maintain" Zhang Tie asked Heller in his consciousness, and the Black Iron Castle taught Zhang Tie a truth, that is, there is no free lunch in the world.
"It only takes a small amount, because the Black Iron Castle is a relatively closed but efficient energy circulation circle, and the energy to change the temperature of this ice cave, whether it is absorbed or released, is carried out inside the Black Iron Castle, this is an energy cycle, so to speak, the castle lord only needs to throw a few bricks into the Chaos Pool, and after the Chaos Pool completely transforms those bricks into energy forms, those energies are enough for this super-large underground ice cave to operate at this temperature for hundreds of years, The same is true of the cave where the flaming red lotus is planted. ” As soon as Heller said this, Zhang Tie had no doubts.
Just a few minutes later, Zhang Tie spotted the severed tentacles of a deep-sea monster half-floating in the water.
That tentacle was nearly 100 meters long, and the diameter of the thickest part was taller than Zhang Tie's, just a cursory glance, the weight of this tentacle reached several hundred tons.
If it was on land, Zhang Tie would not be able to get such a big thing into the Black Iron Castle, because he couldn't pick it up at all, but in the water, Zhang Tie had a tricky way, after locking the huge tentacle with his spiritual power, Zhang Tie grabbed one end of the huge tentacle with his hand, and then directly opened the space absorption channel of the Black Iron Castle in the water, and when he sucked a huge amount of seawater into the Black Iron Castle, he also sucked the huge tentacle into it.
This method is a technique that Zhang Tie explored when he was on the main road in the sea a few days ago, an object that can float in the water or on the water, its gravity and buoyancy are just equal, although it exists, but it is in a special state of "zero weight" for the Black Iron Castle, and it can be used in this way to get it into the Black Iron Castle.
The sea water was poured into the Pool of Chaos, and the huge tentacle was thrown by Zhang Tie into the largest warehouse in the newly built underground ice cave.
It was the first time to do such a thing, even with Zhang Tie's ability, he felt a little difficult after sending the tentacles of such an extra-long deep sea monster to the Black Iron Castle.
But it was all worth it, as long as he thought of the efforts he had just made to make himself have hundreds of tons of meat reserves in the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie's whole body was full of energy.
In the next half hour, Zhang Tie found two more severed tentacles in the sea, and both used the same method to send the tentacles into the Black Iron Castle.
An hour later, more than 70 kilometers southeast of the Aurora, Zhang Tie saw the body of the deep-sea monster floating on the water like a hill.
The eight tentacles on the body of the Deep Sea Giant have been severed, and there are also wounds on the body that have been cut open by the Star Moon Sword Saint, and now there are only some mutilated, long or short five tentacles that are still attached to its body.
Zhang Tie circled around the deep sea monster in the sea, and found that the eyes of the deep sea monster had been gouged out at the moment, and the eyes of the deep sea monster seemed to have some other effect, but Zhang Tie didn't care about this, as long as its body was still there.
This thing is too big, even if he uses the method just now, it is difficult for Zhang Tie to get it into the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie in the water thought about it, and simply took out his Pisces Sword, first cut off the several tentacles that were still attached to the body of the deep sea monster one by one, cut them down, and got them all to the Black Iron Castle, and finally left a mountain of meat to deal with for the end.
In his life, Zhang Tie had never done such a tiring thing, and by the time Zhang Tie had finished dismembering the Deep Sea Monster and getting it into the Black Iron Castle for a while, it was already four hours later.
Zhang Tie, who had never felt tired in the seawater, also felt that his body was a little fluttering this time, and in the process of collecting the entire body of the deep sea monster into the underground ice cave of the Black Iron Castle, it was a huge test of Zhang Tie's mental strength and physical strength.
This job is really not something that ordinary people can do, in this process, the sharp and ultra-long Pisces sword helped Zhang Tie a lot in this process, as long as Zhang Tie with the sword in his hand runs the battle qi and uses everything, the Pisces piece of several meters long sword blade will leave a huge wound on the body and tentacles of the deep sea monster, one tentacle of the deep sea monster Zhang Tie only needs to circle around it, like cutting down a tree, it can be quickly cut off, if it is a shorter sword, this process may be more difficult.
After doing this, Zhang Tie's heart was filled with an unusual sense of satisfaction and security, this time, Zhang Tie finally knew what it meant to "have food in your hands, don't panic in your heart", the ancient Chinese saying is really honest and don't deceive me, Zhang Tie sighed in his heart, so a bunch of meat mountains are placed in the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie estimates that there are at least four or five thousand tons, no matter how long the holy war will last in the future, Zhang Tie knows that he no longer has to worry about having no meat to eat, not only himself, Even if you count your own family and those women and friends, this deep sea monster is enough for these people to eat for a hundred years.
This trip's cultivation, even if it is only for the sake of these meats, is not in vain.
Thinking about the soul tribulation fruit and these mountain-like flesh in front of him, he didn't expect that this deep-sea giant demon would be cheap in the end, Zhang Tie almost laughed.
Almost five hours after leaving the Aurora, Zhang Tie quietly climbed up the stern ramp of the Aurora with his tired body and wet clothes.
When Zhang Tie climbed up, there were several passengers on the deck at the stern of the ship, and those people watched Zhang Tie climb up from the sea, one by one was dumbfounded, one of them was directly frightened, thinking that he had encountered some legendary sea monster, how could someone climb from the sea to the ship in the middle of the night, that person pointed at Zhang Tie, and even stammered, "What are you?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm also a passenger on the ship, I accidentally fell off the boat just now, fortunately, I'm good at water, and I finally didn't drown" Zhang Tie said with a palpitating face, took off his shoes as he spoke, poured out the seawater in his shoes, and then carried his shoes, wearing wet clothes, ignoring the surprised eyes of those people, and returned to his ordinary cabin.
A few people were left looking at each other.
When Zhang Tie returned to his cabin, Ile was opening his door with sleepy eyes, as if he wanted to get up at night to go to the toilet, seeing Zhang Tie, Ile's eyes widened suddenly, and he seemed to wake up all of a sudden, "Peter, what are you doing here?"
"I fell into the sea from the boat while sleepwalking, and then swam in the sea by the way" Zhang Tie smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and then before Iller could say anything, he opened his cabin door by himself, closed it with a "bump", and never came out again.
"Sleepswim in the sea, you can swim back" Iller looked at Zhang Tie's hatch and whispered two words out of his mouth, "This madman" In the next five days, Zhang Tie ate something made with the deep sea monster in the restaurant on the ship for five consecutive days, don't you say, the taste is really good, fresh, fragrant, and tender, although that thing is not the staple food, but Zhang Tie who has eaten it for six days does not feel tired, especially after baking that thing with some food, Zhang Tie feels that the taste is absolutely amazing.
And thinking about the inventory he had in the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie even dreamed of laughing out loud.
On the sixth day, the scarred Aurora, one day longer than scheduled, finally arrived at the only city in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, Eskir City.
In the past few days, through chatting with other people on the boat, Zhang Tie learned that Eskier actually has a strange meaning that makes people laugh in the local language, calling the place where our king is coming On the morning of August 2, 890 in the Black Iron Calendar, it was raining lightly in the city of Eskil, and the whole port was in a fog.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie stepped off the deck of the Aurora, and after eight days of turbulence, his feet stepped on the land of the Ice and Snow Wasteland for the first time:
