Chapter 22: The Legend of the Seven Islands
Everyone almost accompanied Wang Tian back to the cockpit, now at such a critical moment, Zhou Yu and they must keep an eye on Wang Tian, even if Wang Tian dies here, the four of them are different.
As it got closer, the pirate ship continued to fire its guns in this direction, sending a loud thunderous roar, followed by the scene of the water being stirred up by the water next to the ship.
I don't know if it was a misaimed mistake or deliberate, every shell was close at hand, but it didn't hit their ship.
"Boom !!"
Another splash of water splashed in the sky, Chen Yu covered his ears with his hands the whole time, and curled up in a corner in fear.
Zhao Shuangzi was also full of horror, but she was pretending to be calm, and the only one who really looked calm was Lin Xue.
She had been observing the movements of those pirate ships, and Zhou Yu was the caretaker Wang Tian to prevent him from deliberately causing trouble.
Soon, their ship turned around and headed back, but they had now sailed a certain distance, and after a long night of sailing, they no longer knew how far away they were from the desert island before.
"Boom !!"
With a loud bang, another cannonball was heard, this time hitting the deck of their ship with unmistakable accuracy, directly shattering a large area of the deck, and the sparks spread, and the whole ship began to catch fire.
"Zhou Yu, we can't stay on the boat anymore, or let's jump into the sea!" Lin Xue suddenly came back to discuss with Zhou Yu.
Zhao Shuangzi also said: "I also think Lin Xue's method is feasible, I would rather drown at the bottom of the sea than be blown up without a whole body!"
Zhou Yu also knew the current situation, and he was not optimistic, he looked at Chen Yu, who had not spoken on the side. The real worry is this girl, everyone can swim, but she is the only one who is a landlubber.
Seeing the pirate ship getting closer and closer, and their shells getting more and more accurate, and at this time, even if they didn't have those pirate ships, and continued to track them, the ship could not be saved, and the fire spread and became more and more violent.
So Zhou Yu made a decision: "Give up everything and jump into the sea!"
"Understood!"
Zhou Yu ran to Chen Yu's side and hugged her directly, and then the two of them immediately jumped into the sea. Lin Xue and Zhao Shuangzi followed.
At this time, Wang Tian was at a loss for a while, and shouted: "You wait for me, don't leave me!"
Then he jumped down, but it seemed that he was also a landlubber, and he threw himself in the water a few times, and frantically shouted for help, but the more he shouted, the easier it was for his mouth to pour into the seawater.
The surrounding waters were not clean, as debris from the ship's explosion spread everywhere.
He took a big sip, and he didn't know how much waste he had in his stomach.
Seeing that he was about to drown in this sea water, he didn't expect that Lin Xue would come in at this time to save him.
Lin Xue swam to his side, then tried to bring him to the surface of the water, and found him a wooden plank for him to support. "Hold on to this, life and death are fateful, and you can ask for more blessings for the rest!"
"Thank you... Thank you..."
Wang Tian looked at Lin Xue very gratefully, and then followed.
On the other side, Zhou Yu made a bold move, he knew that they didn't know how far away from the previous island was, Chen Yu would not be water-based, if he really entered the bottom of the sea, it would be really unlucky. So he directly let Chen Yu sit on his neck, carried Chen Yu on his back, and the two of them paddled forward together, but he didn't expect that the method he suddenly came up with would have a remarkable effect.
Their speed is very fast, after all, Zhou Yu is using both hands and feet, and Chen Yu is helping to stroke with his hands.
Although Chen Yu felt embarrassed at first, his whole body was soaked in the sea, and the two of them were so close that their skin was close to each other.
But after a long time, she didn't bother to care about this, after all, now is a special time, and it is still important to save her life.
Zhao Shuangzi's physical strength is not bad, and he has been following Zhou Yu all the time, and it can be said that he will not leave an inch.
Lin Xue was a little worse, but she didn't lag too far behind.
After wandering the sea for about ten minutes, they could no longer see the pirate ships when they looked back.
The pirate ship must have abandoned the ship before searching for them, and it didn't find any of them.
At this time, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it could be regarded as a temporary escape from danger! Before, he had only cared about running for his life, and Zhou Yu didn't feel a little uncomfortable. Now that he suddenly calmed down, he felt that the back of his neck was hotter, more than Chen Yu's legs, and he always felt a little weird.
Not only him, but Chen Yu was also shy. But no one said a word.
They swam to a reef where they could finally rest for a while. Sitting on the reef, they could already see the island from afar.
Zhao Shuangzi climbed onto a reef and gasped: "Whew... Call... I'm tired of the old lady, but I can be regarded as seeing the island. If I continue to swim like this, I feel like my whole body is going to collapse, I would rather feed the sharks in the sea, I don't want to swim anymore, I can't swim anymore..."
Lin Xue looked at Chen Yu's side, smiled meaningfully, and quipped: "It's still Chen Yu's sister who is well treated, this big ship is destroyed, and there are still mounts." ”
“......”
Hearing this, Zhou Yu and Chen Yu were both a little speechless. Moreover, Chen Yu hurriedly got down from him and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, wait for me to swim over by myself!"
"Are you sure you can?"
"Hmm!"
Chen Yu now answered in the affirmative. However, when she was actually left alone to jump into the sea and prepare to swim over, she realized that she had thought things too simply.
The sea was like a bottomless pit, an abyss, and countless pairs of illusory hands were dragging her feet underneath, trying to drag her down, but she could only wail weakly, without the slightest chance to resist.
In the end, there was no way, Zhou Yu jumped down to save her and carried her on his back, probably because he escaped death, he was a little excited in his heart, and subconsciously teased her: "Don't be too nervous and leaky, Chen Yu." ”
"What?"
At first, Chen Yu didn't react, and Zhou Yu made a yellow joke about her. By the time she reacted, it was too late to scold Zhou Yu. They had left the reef and returned to the surface of the sea, swimming towards the island.
After a lot of hard work, I finally returned to the beach, and everyone was afraid.
However, Zhou Yu has a new discovery, that is, Wang Tian seems to be a little different from Lin Xue. He was like a faithful little brother, always following Lin Xue's side, and after coming up, he immediately went to find some leaves to stand on tiptoe for her to sit on.
Although I don't know what he really thinks in his heart. But on the surface, it seems that he is still very good to Lin Xue, probably because Lin Xue saved him before.
Lin Xue looked at Zhou Yu a little seriously: "Zhou Yu, it seems that we won't be able to leave this desert island in a short time, the big ships have already been built, but I never expected that there are pirates in the surrounding waters..."
Without waiting for Zhou Yu to answer, Wang Tian took the initiative to participate in the discussion at this time: "This is not only pirates, there are seven desert islands like this." ”
"Ahh
"The seven islands are far apart, and the sea level is not the same as each other, but they are connected to each other and cannot be seen from the human eye," Wang said. It is said that every island has an island, and our island is located in the heart of the seven islands, so it is not realistic to escape from it secretly..."
"Then you still ran away alone?" Zhao Shuangzi asked.
He smiled awkwardly: "I just want to gamble, take advantage of the darkness, see if I can escape..."
Just when everyone was talking happily, suddenly there was a loud noise in the distance.
"Boom !!"
I saw a splash in the surrounding sea, it was a cannonball from a pirate ship!
Zhou Yu clearly saw that the pirate ship that had been tracking them before was actually heading towards their small island not far away!
