Chapter 253: Jumping into the Sea

Jacques was glad to have evacuated early, and when they found that they could not avoid the oppressive clouds in the air, they immediately decided to break away from the south, where the storm was less.

Locked in a southerly flight, however it didn't take long for the wind to get stronger.

The airships were also involuntary in the high winds, and the wind speed was much higher than that of the sea, even though they were already far from the core of the storm.

François handed Annan a wooden box he was carrying, picked up Claudia, and walked to the deck.

Stumbling out of the cabin, Claudia saw François and Annan hurrying over in the corridor.

Oh no! The boat is leaking!

The sound of the wind and waves muffled the breaking of the wood, until a stream of sea water rushed into the chamber and was stirred by the water, and Claudia suddenly came to her senses.

So she was thrown around, and even accidentally hit the narrow bunk, hitting her forehead painfully.

She didn't know how she insisted on lying down, but she couldn't rest at all, and the big waves pushed the boat up, and then fell down from the waves more than ten meters high.

Suddenly, the storm showed a big wave on the sea that she had never seen before, and the boat was bumpy and undulating, which made her feel uncomfortable, and finally she couldn't hold on anymore, and left the captain's room to vomit.

Claudia felt that the previous hour was probably the most difficult hour of her life, perhaps the last hour of her own.

......

Then Fabian shouted calmly: "Claudia, Jacques, the sea is Claudia!"

"What can it be? I'll take a look. "Fabian has the best eyesight, and after turning on Eagle Eye, he can see the text of a book from a distance of 100 meters.

Marianne, who was lying on the edge of the hanging basket and looking at the sea boredly, suddenly shouted: "Look, what's in the sea?"

Jacques estimated that the remnants of the source stones in the drive were still enough to return to land, so he kept flying west at an altitude of kilometers.

Fat Orange looked at Lily and stopped, smashed his mouth, and stuck his tongue out on his front paws.

Everyone shouted for luck, and at this time they also understood that the airship was not equipped with a navigation formation, and it could not drive away the strange beasts in the sea. Fortunately, the big fish that had just attacked was not strong and failed to cause damage to the airship.

The big fish fell into the sea and disappeared.

"Smack!"

Two lightning bolts fended off the water column, and the third grazed the side of the big fish.

Lily at the end of the hanging basket hurriedly turned her hands and pushed continuously, firing three lightning arrows in a row, which was a skill for her to show speed.

"Be careful!" Jacques hurriedly shouted.

The yellow fish's eyes showed a look of resentment, and the closed mouth of the fish suddenly opened, revealing two rows of dense white deep teeth, and then a column of water came out of the fish's mouth and headed straight for the airship.

But after all, it was in the air, and the big fish still couldn't fly, and after 100 meters out of the sea, the lift came to an end, and after a short stagnation, it fell to the surface of the sea again.

The big fish is more than five meters long, with its huge head hanging from two yellow fish eyes the size of a basin, and it struggles to swing its tail in the air, as if it wants to fly into the sky with such a movement.

A huge black shadow broke through the sea and jumped into the air, and everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be a big cyan fish.

"Whoa!"

Fabian, who is familiar with Fat Orange's abilities, explains, "There are strange beasts approaching us!"

"What's going on?" said Marianne, helped up by Lily, rubbing her strands.

Before the others could react, they were thrown to the back of the basket, and Marianne even fell to the ground.

Without hesitation, Jacques grabbed the lever and pulled back hard, and the airship rose diagonally.

Fat Orange's fat paws pierced through the back of the paper and tore a hole in the map, "Rise into the air! Hurry!

"This emperor is also here, more than a hundred miles away from the mainland, and we have been blown to the east. Fat Tangerine poked the tip of his claw in the same spot, then made a mark in the direction of land.

"I've got it!" Jacques pointed to a location on the unfolded map.

Everyone didn't dare to talk and bother, kept quiet, and finally had to lie on the side of the basket and look at the sea without a word.

Ten minutes later, Jacques got the next sun position, and since there was no pen and paper, he had to calculate silently in his mind, and Fat Tangerine was also silently calculating and preparing to proofread Jacques's results.

"Wait another ten minutes, and I'll be able to calculate our approximate latitude and longitude when I measure the position of the next sun, and then see if we have enough energy to fly back to the mainland." Jacques informed everyone of the situation.

Fat Tangerine corrected: "No, no, it can't be calculated like this, if we lose three sub-silos of gas, the energy consumption we need to stay afloat will be doubled." ”

A stream of vines hung down from the top of the airship, and Fabian slid down the vines into the gondola, and after standing firm, he said, "Three of the twelve compartments were damaged, and we lost a quarter of our lift. ”

Blown by the high winds, Jacques could no longer figure out where the airship was, and they had abandoned many of the airship's baggage in order to keep it stable in the high altitude.

The airship hovered at a distance of about three or four hundred meters from the sea, and Jacques took out his sextant, looked at his watch, and then aimed at the sun, and after a few data, prepared to calculate their position.

After another half hour, the sea was calm again, and the sky was cloudless, as if the storm that had destroyed the world had never appeared.

"Don't look at the long time of the protective shield just now, but the energy consumption is mainly when it is turned on, which is about the same as the consumption of the secondary blocking cavalry. Anyway, the emperor can probably use it once or twice, and if you don't use it, half a year will pass naturally. "Fat Orange is helpless, and when it uses up all this energy, it returns to its salted fish state.

"Fat Orange, how much energy do you have?" Jacques asked quietly.

After another ten minutes, Jacques judged that it could take off, so he asked Fat Tangerine to collect the golden ball, and the airship took off again. However, Jacques no longer dared to rise in the sky, who would have thought that the wind speed in the high altitude would be much greater than the sea surface.

After more than ten minutes, everyone obviously felt that the wind and waves had subsided, and the rain had only thinned out, and they came and went in a hurry.

The sudden storm comes and goes fast.

The waves fell like a hill, pushing the golden ball of light with the current, not knowing where it was going.

Everyone screamed and covered their eyes as the airship slapped the sea, only to find that they were unharmed, only Fat Tangerine smiled and admired their horror watch.

In the end, Fat Orange had to make a move and wrapped the entire airship with a golden ball of light, but in this way, the airship's ability to float disappeared and fell straight to the sea.

When the wind pressure was at its highest, the airship was almost torn apart at high speed through the clouds, and the sound of metal cracking could not even be muffled by the wind.

The deck was chaotic, and it was impossible to see the distance in the rainstorm, except for the faint sight of running figures, and the occasional scream muffled by the waves.

François bowed his head and whispered in her ear: "The ship is dead, we must jump into the sea to survive......!"

As soon as Claudia was about to speak, François jumped out of the side of the ship and into the sea.
