Chapter 553: Set Sail
This wasn’t the first adventure for everyone, so they had experience and prepared quickly and thoroughly. Offering everything from tents, medication, weapons, food, water and more, they also took into consideration the fact that they were going to sea, procuring additional equipment accordingly.
However, the primary task was to figure out which sea area they were heading to. For that reason, Gu Fan had studied an ancient map. Finding it completely indecipherable, with no idea about the locations on it, he gave up, lacking the ability to correlate the ancient map with a present-day one.
Their only hope was the notebook left behind by Gu Chuanshan. After reading through it, Gu Fan found out where they were heading - to the most mysterious Triangle Sea Area in the world.
"My God, are we going there?" All were astonished upon hearing the destination. Known as a place to avoid, countless ships had vanished mysteriously in that sea area, never to be found again.
The sea area was hemmed in by three pieces of land, situated at the three points of a triangle, hence its name, the Triangle Sea Area.
In the Triangle Sea Area, there are countless islands, many of which are extremely irregular. They twist and turn, extending like walls. Many such islands, grouped together with extensions here and there, make it hard to navigate, giving the feeling of being caught in a maze.
Nobody knows how many islands there are in the Triangle Sea Area, but one thing is certain - there are more than 3,000, big and small. Rumors even suggest some islands host something so mystifying and scary that no one dares to set foot on them.
There are endless rumors about the Triangle Sea Area. Some people say there is a spatial vortex there, into which many of the missing ships plummeted and vanished. Others say it’s an alien testing ground.
The eeriest rumor about the Triangle Sea Area that Gu Fan had heard was a claim of seeing a ghost ship during a voyage. The ship was intact and looked new, yet unlike modern steel vessels, it was wooden. Even stranger, people dressed in 200-year-old clothes were seen moving about on the ship.
