Chapter 41: Opportunity Under Danger
Large raindrops continued to fall from the sky, and the people of the Autumn Wind Wheal landed on the Demon Spirit Continent just at the moment when the thunderstorm arrived on the archipelago.
If you taste the rain with your mouth, you will notice that it has a salty and bitter taste, and it is actually caused by thunderstorms that roll the sea into the air and fall.
Watching the thunderstorm sweep across the islands, everyone in the Autumn Wind Group was terrified, if they hadn't run fast, they would have been caught in the thunderstorm now.
"Zuo Qiu, do you say that Wu Yan is still on the island?" the madman suddenly asked.
Zuo Qiu just shook her head lightly, obviously she didn't think that Wu Yan would be able to observe the arrival of the thunderstorm in advance, and staying on the island in this situation would be a life of death.
At sea dozens of miles from a thunderstorm, Wu Yan struggles to steer the wooden boat to keep a safe distance from the thunderstorm, while Derpy stands at the bow to guide him.
Derpy's mother, who lives in this area, often encounters such extreme situations, and over time learns to use the direction of the wind to determine the direction of thunderstorms in order to anticipate and avoid danger.
This ability to dodge danger has long been carved into the blood, and Derpy can also predict the direction of the thunderstorm, and with Derpy leading the way, Wu Yan can always avoid the thunderstorm.
The heavy rain had already poured Wu Yan's whole person inside and out, but Derpy on the side didn't have anything, the airtight feathers on his body had their own waterproof function, and the stupid feathers on Derpy's head were still standing as always.
Wu Yan, who has always liked dryness, was naturally envious, so he simply cast a demonization to cover his entire body with scales, although it was not as good as Derpy's feathers, but the scales would not absorb water, which was much better than the clothes on his body.
Under the influence of thunderstorms, the sea is not calm for a moment, in order to better control the direction of the wooden boat, he also deliberately added a sail, but even then it is still extremely difficult to control the direction in the sea with strong winds and waves.
"I'm really going to find myself guilty. ”
Although he complained, Wu Yan's movements in his hands did not relax for a moment, as the saying goes, if you are reluctant to let a child trap a wolf, how can you get what you want without paying some price.
Fighting the sea at sea is very laborious, but fortunately he still has a lot of hook fruit on his body, which can replenish his energy in time, and he will also give Derpy one every time he eats, after all, it is also very physically exhausting for Derpy to fly into the sky to observe the movement of thunderstorms.
In this way, he and Derpy relied on the fruit of the hook to support them on the sea for two days, and they followed the thunderstorm all the way to a bay in the Demon Spirit Continent, and the thunderstorm quickly weakened and disappeared when it hit the land, and the sea was suddenly calm.
The whole bay extends from the sea to the inland, and it is full of large and small sand and stones, and these stones are all blue-black, and the sea retreats to form a calm and waveless pool inside, and the whole pool of water presents a deep black against the background of the blue and black stones.
Along the way, Wu Yan searched all the way along the shallows on the shore but did not have any big gains, there were many dead fish, shrimp and crabs on the beach, but these demons that had been dead for too long had already dispersed, and they had no effect on him at all.
"No, I couldn't get anything after all the hard work of following the thunderstorm. ”
Just when Wu Yan thought there was no hope, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in a waterhole in the bay.
Wu Yan immediately came to his senses, eager to spread and take two steps, all the way to the edge of the waterhole, as the thunderstorm disappeared, the swelling sea quickly returned to normal, and this waterhole should have been left behind when the sea water rose.
This waterhole is about the size of a football field, and if it weren't for the movement on the water, he probably wouldn't even look at it, but the water vortex just now is not small, and it is obvious that there should be a big guy inside.
Wu Yan came to the edge of the waterhole, the whole waterhole was crystal clear, and when he saw the huge black shadow under the water, Wu Yan was so shocked that he was a little speechless.
The whole fish is huge, with a flat body, eyes on the top of the head, and meat wings extending outward on both sides, and a slender tail on the end.
"Isn't this a ray?"
I'm a good girl, he is still the first time to see such a big ray, I remember that he used to go to the aquarium when he often saw this kind of fish, but the largest is one or two hundred pounds, such a big fish is probably worth the weight of more than ten elephants.
If this head is in the sea, it is definitely the king of the overlord level, but it is difficult to even turn around in this small pool, if there is no heavy rain and no tide rising for nearly half a month, this ray may only be able to wait here slowly.
Fortunately, when it met Wu Yan, although it was a death, the meaning of dying in his hands was very different, at least it could give full play to some surplus value.
It's just that how to get this fish out, don't you have to jump down and catch it, he thought about it carefully, it is impossible for him to go down and catch it himself, this fish is not very easy to bully at first glance, at least he has the strength of the five tribulations, he is not the opponent of the five tribulations on land, let alone in the water.
And although Xiao Hei is at the peak of the Four Tribulations and is about to break through the Five Tribulations, he is still not good at underwater combat, as for Xiao Zi, as a purple centipede that is afraid of water, Wu Yan does not expect it to be able to play a role.
"If only Derpy had the strength of the Five Tribulations. ”
Tiger stripe carving is very good at fishing, and the tiger stripe carving at the same level has a great restraint effect on fish, so why hasn't Derpy swallowed so many hanging hook fruits and not broken through to the trend of three tribulations?
Derpy, hovering above the water, also sees a ray lying motionless at the bottom of the water, and Derpy shows great interest in this, constantly skimming the water, but it never dares to rush into the water, such a big fish is not something it can deal with now.
The underwater ray also noticed Derpy on the surface of the water, and the water in the entire waterhole became uncalm with its wings swinging, and a trace of blue-purple light flashed from the skin on the ray's back.
"Oh no, get out of here. ”
Derpy was frightened, and hurriedly flew into the air, and there was no damage, as for Wu Yan's loss of not being able to fly, he was hit, and the whole person collapsed on his body and was scorched black, fortunately, he jumped out of the waterhole in advance and cast a demonization to cover his body with scales, although the whole person was numb by electricity, but it was not too harmful.
Wu Yan looked at the waterhole with palpitations, but he didn't dare to get any closer than half a step, if he hadn't escaped fast just now, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out there.
"I didn't expect this to be a ray that can generate electricity. ”
It's hard to do now, I don't even dare to approach the water's edge and talk about hunting, I thought the other party was a turtle in an urn, but I didn't expect it to be a caged tiger It's really difficult to do.
