Chapter Forty-Three: Drifting at Sea
[Seven Water Gods, what is this?]
There was an inexplicable blue symbol on his body, and although it was disappearing immediately, Xiang Wanting couldn't help but get nervous, and asked the Seven Water Gods in the sky with his telekinesis.
[This is, a gift]
Obviously, the tone of the Seven Water God sounded very happy, although I don't know what this mark does, but since the other party said that it was a gift, it should always have some use.
It's just that Xiang Wanting can't figure out what the effect of this mark that was left on the back of his hand and disappeared for a long time.
Another thing that made Xiang Wanting very concerned was that just now the Seven Water God actually said that he was the first human being to communicate with it in hundreds of years, so did it say that it had lived for hundreds of years?
The average lifespan of human beings in this world is only between eighty and ninety, and the lifespan of ordinary war beasts, the lowest like some insect war beasts may only survive for twenty or thirty years, and the highest life expectancy, such as turtle war beasts, will not exceed two hundred years.
Obviously, the lifespan of the divine beast seems to be far beyond the lifespan of humans and ordinary war beasts.
The sky suddenly darkened again, and in Xiang Wanting's line of sight, a huge shadow covered the sky above the rescue cabin, and the Seven Water Gods came to the top of his head with the blue clouds, and he could almost see the appearance in the Seven Water Gods' pupils.
I didn't notice it when I looked at it from a distance, but when I looked closer, the size of the Seven Water Gods was indeed amazing, and even the size of the pupils was almost no smaller than the rescue cabin.
Moxie was also stunned by the scene in front of him, and his mouth opened wide in a daze, and he couldn't speak as he looked at the huge head in front of him.
Anyone who comes into contact with a divine beast at such a close distance for the first time is estimated to be in a state that is no better than Moxi, but Xiang Wanting has a much stronger reaction than Moxi because he is mentally prepared, but his hands and feet involuntarily tremble slightly.
[Human, I remember your appearance, there will be a period later]
A moment later, the Seven Water Gods suddenly rose into the air and returned to the blue cloud, and in a few blinks of an eye, the blue cloud disappeared without a trace in the sky, as if it had never appeared.
Xiang Wanting thought to himself, are all divine beasts like this, coming and leaving suddenly, which is unpredictable.
"Soul back, the beasts are gone. After a while, Xiang Wanting patted Moxi, who was still holding his mouth open like a sculpture, until this time Moxilai suddenly screamed and recovered.
"I see the legendary beast!"
"Yes, yes, I know you saw the beast, and you said that now that the storm has stopped, and the wind and waves have subsided, should we find a way to go back to the ship. ”
Xiang Wanting felt that since everything was normal, it was impossible for them to really take this rescue capsule back to land, and now that the sea had returned to calm, although it had been damaged to a great extent before, he estimated that the Xilian should still be saved and would not sink.
And it's been more than a day since the Xilian left the port of Xilian City, and if it drifts, I really don't know where the rescue capsule they are sitting on now will drift to.
But now Xiang Wanting and they are facing another problem, neither of them has a water-based war beast, and Han Ge, who has a water-based war beast, ran to join in the fun by himself just now, and now they haven't come back, if there is no water-based war beast, they don't seem to have a way to get the rescue capsule back to the Xilian.
"Hey, Wanting, look, is that Han Lao. ”
Just when Xiang Wanting was at a loss, Moxi suddenly asked excitedly and loudly.
Sure enough, a figure on the sea came from the direction of the Xilian and looked at the evening pavilion, isn't this Han Ge who left before.
However, Han Ge's current appearance is also a little embarrassed, although the wind and rain on his body are still on his body, but it has turned into a rag-like shape, and the hat he was wearing is gone, his white hair stands up inch by inch as if he has been struck by lightning, and Xiang Wanting couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Old Han, why did you have this hairstyle like this?"
"yes, it doesn't matter to you, right?"
Xiang Wanting saw Han Ge step forward and opened the hatch, and immediately asked about him.
"Don't mention it, if I hadn't dodged into the boat so quickly, I would have almost died. ”
Seeing that Xiang Wanting asked them about themselves, Han Ge did not hide it, and after he sat back in the life-saving cabin, he told them everything that had just happened.
It turned out that Han Ge wanted to get closer to see the appearance of the Seven Water Gods, so he sat in the Vortex Frog Emperor all the way to the front of the West Lotus, and happened to be unlucky to encounter the scene where the Star Whale Emperor sent out an energy beam to penetrate the West Lotus.
Fortunately, Han Ge's Vortex Frog Emperor reacted quickly enough, hid to the side in time, and opened the energy passport, which allowed Han Ge to escape the catastrophe, of course, his clothes and hair were also swept away by the aftermath of the energy beam before he became this embarrassed appearance.
After narrowly dodging an attack, Han Ge didn't dare to continue the waves, not to mention that near the Xilian, he could already clearly see the appearance of the Seven Water Gods, so for the sake of safety, he simply hid on the Xilian, until the Star Whale Emperor disappeared and the Seven Water Gods left, he ran back to find the two of them in the Wanting.
"Old Han, it's just right that you're back, and only your Vortex Frog Emperor can take us back to the Xilian. ”
After Han Ge finished talking about his previous experience, Xiang Wanting said this.
"There's no going back. Showing a bitter smile, Han Ge shook his head and said, "I just came from the Xilian before, at that time, the water seepage on the deck was already very serious, and the hull of the ship was also pierced by the energy beam of the Star Whale Emperor, and a large amount of seawater had poured into the bottom of the ship, and the entire Xilian was sinking at a very fast speed now, and it was estimated that it would be a matter of time before it sank completely." ”
"What about so many people on board?"
Hearing what Han Ge said, Xiang Wanting couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, worried about those people on the boat.
"Don't worry, fortunately, the storm has stopped now, although the boat will definitely not be saved, fortunately, there are still a large number of life rafts on the ship, and now most people have already sat on the life rafts, as long as they can wait for rescue, there will be no problems. ”
Sure enough, Xiang Wanting saw the shadows of hundreds of orange boats in the distance next to the Xilian, although the life raft was definitely not as reliable as their survival cabin, but at least if the ship really sank, the passengers could temporarily save their lives.
As for whether they can get out of danger, it depends on whether the rescue team at sea comes quickly, and anything can happen on the dangerous sea, so no one dares to guarantee that these people who are on life rafts can wait for others to save them, and they can only resign themselves to fate.
Xiang Wanting's previous worries about the lives of these people were just out of humanitarian concern.
So now that he knows that these people are safe for the time being, he has let go of his hanging heart, and as for the future, he doesn't think about it anymore, at this moment, even he himself is now unable to protect himself, and he is not a virgin, where will he eat salty radishes and worry about it, and he has always cared about other lives and deaths.
"Old Han, what should we do next?"
Now, according to what Han Ge said, it is impossible for the Xilian to go back, and Xiang Wanting can only ask his opinion, after all, this kind of thing is only he has the most experience.
After pondering for a moment, Han Ge said slowly: "Now there are nothing more than two plans, the first is to wait for rescue here, but to be honest, the chance of waiting for rescue after encountering a shipwreck at sea is too slim. ”
"And what about the second one?" Obviously, Xiang Wanting is not very optimistic about this first plan, after all, he has tried it before, and there is no signal on the communicator on the sea, and he can't even send a distress message, so who are they waiting for rescue?
Seeing the attitude of Xiang Wanting and the others, Han Ge talked about the second plan and took out a circular compass from his arms.
"The second plan is like this, I now know that Mountain Fire Island should be in the southwest direction of our current position, and Mountain Fire Island is much closer to us than Xilian City, so I think my war beast will drag the rescue capsule all the way to the direction of Mountain Fire Island. ”
"But this speed is too slow, and in the case that the route is not very clear, it will take at least ten days and half a month to reach Mountain Fire Island, and Han Lao, if you are a war beast, it is impossible to have such physical strength to drag the rescue capsule for such a long time. ”
Xiang Wanting raised his own questions, after all, the second plan that Han Ge said didn't sound very realistic.
"There is no problem in terms of war beasts, I also have a water war beast, if the two are rotated, there should be no problem of physical exhaustion, food can be caught directly from the sea, but fresh water is the most urgent problem we are facing now. ”
Han Ge added with some concern: "And I also saw it on the Xilian just now, it was flooded everywhere, and there was no fresh water and food at all. ”
Hearing that Han Ge also had a water-based war beast, Xiang Wanting was relieved, water and food were really not a big problem for him.
"Then there is no problem, Han Lao, I have put a lot of fresh water and emergency food in my space storage equipment, it is estimated that if there are three of us, it will be enough to save one meal for about half a month. ”
Mo Xi on the side also hurriedly said: "In my space storage equipment, there are also a lot of fruits, vegetables and meat, and I also bring a lot of fresh water. ”
Xiang Wanting saw Moxi's smiling appearance, and secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that not only himself before going to sea this time, but Moxi has also made sufficient preparations, although it is normal to bring some ingredients as a foodie, but even the quotation has brought a lot of fresh water, obviously scared by the previous experience in the Fuye Forest.
Now that the water and food problems at sea have been solved, and Han Ge's powerful war beasts help drag the rescue pod and deal with the wild war beasts in the sea, the three of them unanimously decided not to wait for rescue and set off directly in the direction of Mountain Fire Island.
And the Xilian, not long after their departure, gradually sank into the sea and gradually disappeared into the sea level.
