It is worth noting that the sail used in this sailboat is not our common cloth sail, but the bamboo sail woven from bamboo strips.

For a long time in ancient times, the sails used by people were bamboo sails, which was mainly restricted by the textile technology at that time could not weave high-strength canvas, even if it was later technological progress, the cost of the canvas made was still very expensive, and it could only be something that the nobles could afford.

As the sails deployed, the sailboat had a noticeable acceleration, and the small boats that followed behind were becoming more and more unable to keep up with the speed of the sailboat.

"Hurry up, row quickly!" The boats were shocked to see such a fast speed, and hurriedly rowed their oars desperately.

If something happens to the sailboat and they can't rescue it in time, then they are responsible.

"Ye Feng, this speed ...... So fast...... It's so fast! The roots of the tree danced excitedly on the boat.

Ye Feng faced the blowing wind, showed a satisfied smile, and said: "Hahaha, as long as our shipbuilding technology goes up, this speed is nothing!" ”

The tree root was very sympathetic to his approach, and couldn't help but look forward to what the tribe's more advanced ships would look like when they came out in the future.

At this moment, a clansman suddenly shouted: "Ye Feng, the wind direction has changed!" When Ye Feng heard this, he hurriedly said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and turn the sails! ”

The current shipbuilding technology of the tribe can only build sloops, and sloops have one of the biggest advantages, that is, they are very easy to operate.

I saw that the two clansmen hurriedly pulled the cable that controlled the sails, and easily pointed the sails at the sudden change in wind direction.

Ye Feng had also fantasized about being able to build a multi-masted sailing ship before, but this kind of sailing ship must be large, and the multi-masted sailing ship control sail surface is a complex system, with his northern understanding that it is only at the level of paper, to build such a multi-masted sailing ship is tantamount to a fool's dream.

In desperation, he could only retreat and go straight to the dhow.

"Ye Feng, it's not right, this wind direction has become wrong!" The root of the tree suddenly frowned and said to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

The roots of the tree craned their necks, looked up at the sail tightly, and quickly explained: "This wind came so suddenly! ”

Ye Feng finally reacted, and hurriedly looked around, and suddenly saw the dark clouds rolling in the sky in the north.

"I'm #*&@$! This damn thief God, the weather is good, no matter how you say it, it will change! ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but curse directly, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and put away the sails, hurry!" ”

The speed of this sudden storm was very fast, Ye Feng had to urge in a hurry, and even his voice was deformed.

He was not sure that the sailboat under his feet would be able to fight against the forces of nature.

Everyone on the boat also saw the dark clouds surging from the north, and their faces also changed.

These people often row wooden boats to fish here, and strong winds and rains will affect their wooden boats, not to mention such a large sailing boat.

They hurriedly followed Ye Feng's instructions and hurriedly collected the sails. Bamboo sails have an advantage to mention, due to their own weight, the speed is very fast when the sail is released, so that you can quickly capture the direction of the wind blowing. However, it is precisely because of its own weight that it is not so easy to put it away again.

"One-two-three, pull!"

As they struggled to pull the cable, the dark clouds on the north side were like galloping wild horses, and in a few moments, the dark clouds instantly enveloped their heads.

"Boom!" The lightning glowed blindingly white, snaking through the gaps in the clouds like a silver serpent.

The once calm river was also angry at this moment, and the river began to swell, and it roared loudly, shaking the people on the sailboat vigorously, as if it were the group of humans who wanted to conquer it with a pile of wood.

The hull of the ship shook suddenly, and the people who pulled the rope with all their strength on it instantly stood unsteadily, and fell directly on the board of the boat. The cable in his hand also slid out.

Brush! The sail, which had been pulled halfway through, was unfurled the moment the cable was unarmed, showing the "advantage" of being able to release the sail quickly.

When Ye Feng saw the unfurled sails, he was immediately frightened, and exclaimed, "It's over!" ”

As soon as the sails were lowered, the speed of a sailboat suddenly increased to a height, as if the throttle had been fully increased.

This caused the crowd, who were about to get up again, to fall to the ground again.

"Everyone, hold on, don't get hurt!" Ye Feng hurriedly shouted at everyone, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and staggered towards the cable.

It was too late to get the sails back up, and he had to cut the cables off.

The hull of the ship was shaking violently, which made what would seem like a very simple maneuver difficult to do at this point, and he almost fell to the board several times.

On the bank of the river, the clansmen looked at the rickety sailboat, and they were already frightened. Not for anything else, it's because their spiritual pillar Ye Feng is on the boat.

"What to do? Ye Feng is on the boat! ”

"Which of you is going to figure out a solution!"

"What can be done about this?"

“……”

The crowd panicked, like a swarm of headless flies, spun around.

And those small boats that followed, they were all working hard to maneuver, the boats were not overturned, and they were all too busy to take care of themselves.

After several attempts, Ye Feng finally approached the position of the cable.

Just as he brought the knife closer to the rope, the hull shook again, and he accidentally stumbled, and finally fell to the ground.

"Damn it!" When he fell just now, the dagger came out of his wrist, but fortunately it only cut a little skin, and if he went a little deeper, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Ignoring the sweat on his forehead, Ye Feng hurriedly stood up again, took out a knife and cut it fiercely on the rope.

After a lot of effort, the tight cable was finally cut by him with a snap.

That's when the unexpected happened!

Because he struggled to stand up just now, several cables were entangled under Ye Feng's feet, and under the pull of the heavy bamboo sail, the cables suddenly tightened, pulling Ye Feng's whole person up deeply.

Ye Feng suddenly felt a strong attack under his feet, and then there was a whirlwind of the sky, bang, his head hit the mast hard, and after hearing the tree root see his name sadly, then his eyes went dark, and the whole person lost consciousness.
