Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Storm of Terror
"I couldn't hear what he was saying. ”
Moxi could only hear some fragmentary words, and couldn't help but ask about Xiang Wanting beside him.
"I only heard some storms, what legends, and the wind was so strong that I couldn't hear it clearly. ”
But Xiang Wanting actually didn't hear what the old man was talking about, and when they got nearby, the old man had stopped talking to himself, but looked at the sky like a sculpture, with a deep expression.
Since they didn't hear it clearly, Xiang Wanting and the two of them were no longer entangled, and it happened that Xiang Wanting didn't want to stay on the deck for longer, and just wanted to turn around and leave, they heard a deep and deep voice.
"Children, have you heard of the legend of the Seven Water Gods? ”
Xiang Wanting fixed his eyes, and it was the strange old man who spoke, who was turning to stare at the two of them at this time.
"Are you talking to us, old sir?"
"Is there a fourth person here besides us? ”
Seeing the other party's question, Xiang Wanting saw the appearance of the strange old man clearly at this time.
This old man looks to be around fifty years old, wearing a pair of old-fashioned gold-rimmed glasses, he looks very kind, giving people a kind of grandfather-like feeling who leads the family, and what makes Xiang Wanting feel most interesting is the two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, slightly upturned, looking very dramatic.
In response to the old man's question, Xiang Wanting thought for a moment and said, "You are talking about the mythical and legendary water beast, the Seven Water Gods." ”
The old man smiled and nodded: "I didn't expect that you are not very old, and you have a wide range of knowledge, but what you said is also a little biased, the Seven Water Gods are not a simple water system in the legend, but also have the power to control thunder and climate, to be precise, it should be called the God of the Sea." ”
For the matter of this Seven Water God, Xiang Wanting only saw it in the book, but the introduction in the book only said that this is a creature in myths and legends that has been passed down from generation to generation, and whether there is such a mythical beast has always been a matter of opinion, and it cannot be verified, and I don't know why this old man talked to his two strangers about this topic.
Seeing the expressions of Xiang Wanting and Mo Xi, of course the old man knew what they were thinking, he touched the head of the Tyrant Vortex Frog Emperor beside him and asked, "I see that you all have good soul power fluctuations, you should be the Alliance's rookie War Beast Master, right?"
"Yes old man, we are on our way to the Challenge Pavilion. This time, without waiting for Xiang Wanting to answer, Moxi responded first.
Although it felt a little inexplicable, for a strong man who was following a rank war beast beside him, Xiang Wanting couldn't just excuse himself, so he could only answer the old man's question.
"Go to Mountain Fire Island, it seems that you want to challenge the Fire War Hall on Mountain Fire Island, then you should have water war beasts, right?"
"I don't have a water-type war beast, my war beast is a grass-based four-leaf bear and an ice-type white-browed wolf cub. Moxie replied fifteen-ten.
For Moxi's sincerity, Xiang Wanting doesn't know what to say, he doesn't know what this old man is, what his purpose is, and he will answer when people ask you?
In this regard, Xiang Wanting could only complain in his heart, and he didn't say too much stupidly like Moxi, but replied: "I don't have a water war beast either." ”
"It's a bit dangerous to have no water beasts on the sea, and the storm is coming, so be careful yourself. ”
After the old man said this, he turned around and left the deck with the Storm Vortex Frog Emperor, making both of them feel a little confused.
Let's not say that the two of them don't know this old man at all, so they chatted with each other awkwardly for some reason, and the most important thing is what the person just said, Storm?
Glancing at the dark but calm sea, Mo Xi spread his hands and said: "This old man will not have a problem, and ask us what the Seven Water Gods are, and what kind of storm do you say, Wanting, you see how there is a storm now." ”
Xiang Wanting didn't believe what the old man said, but the powerful intuition of his telekinesis ability told him that the old man really didn't have any ill will towards them.
"I think there must be some meaning in saying this, after all, a person with a rank war beast would not talk nonsense to the two of us in a good manner, maybe it's just that we haven't been able to understand the meaning of his words yet. ”
"He asked us if we had any water-based war beasts, and said that it was dangerous to have no water-based war beasts at sea, could it be that someone was going to be unfavorable to this ship, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he was reminding us of this?" Hearing Xiang Wanting say this, Moxi also felt a little reasonable, and his mind instantly opened up.
Xiang Wanting also admired Mo Xi's rich imagination, but he felt that there should be no such possibility, and the seven water gods mentioned by the old man at the beginning, and the babbling of the gods and gods before, made him feel that things would not be so simple.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Xiang Wanting didn't want to think about it anymore, he patted Moxie on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, just in case, let's be careful, at most put the war beast by our side just in case, it's useless to think so much, let's go back to the room to rest first." ”
After saying this, Xiang Wanting withdrew Xiao Youlong from the soul power space and released the moonlight leopard.
If there is really any emergency, the Moonlight Leopard, whose strength has reached the level of a high-level war beast, is obviously much more reliable than Xiao Youlong, a little guy whose combat power is only level 5.
Seeing this, Moxi also withdrew the white-browed wolf cub and summoned his four-leaf bear.
encountered this strange thing, and Moxi was not in the mood to watch the sea blowing, and returned to their respective rooms with Xiang Wanting.
After sleeping for seven or eight hours before, Xiang Wanting didn't feel sleepy at all.
It is estimated that there are at least twenty hours left before arriving at Wildfire Island, since I can't sleep. , He didn't want to waste time, and it happened that the space in the first-class cabin was spacious enough, so he let the Moonlight Leopard start today's training.
However, the words of the strange old man before also made Xiang Wanting always retain a trace of vigilance in his heart, so he didn't let the Moonlight Leopard train for too long, but stopped after exercising for an hour, let it enter the war beast recovery chamber to recover its strength, and he cultivated his soul power on his knees on the bed.
Since awakening the memories of his previous life, Xiang Wanting found that the speed of his cultivation of soul power was far faster than before, and the so-called soul power in this world was a power closely related to people's souls.
I think it's because the soul of the previous life has not fused with the present life, which has caused his soul power cultivation speed to be unsatisfactory, and now his soul power cultivation speed is at least three times that of the previous one.
If Xiang Wanting's soul power talent was very mediocre before, and even slightly inferior to ordinary people, then now his talent is estimated to be a first-class genius.
Now Xiang Wanting's soul power has reached the level of an intermediate war beast master, and the soul power that can be contained in his body is far beyond the past, if a glass of water is used to describe the sum and capacity of his soul power when he was a junior war beast master, now his total soul power has reached the size of a kettle, and the soul power capacity is the size of a basin.
His current cultivation process is to increase the total amount of soul power, slowly fill this basin with water, and when the water is saturated, that is, when he breaks through to the high-level war beast master.
After condensing his soul power for a while, Xiang Wanting was suddenly interrupted by a violent shaking, and his whole person almost fell off the bed.
"Is it a storm?"
First, the moonlight leopard was released from the war beast recovery warehouse, and Xiang Wanting immediately opened the curtains, wanting to see what caused the hull of the ship to shake so violently.
The dense rain fell like a downpour, and the violent shaking of the hull was the stormy waves from the sea, lapping the hull in waves, and each wave carried a sweeping momentum, making the hull tilt violently.
The light of lightning illuminated the sky on the sea surface, and between the flashes of countless thunderbolts, you can also see clusters of swirling black clouds, like the mouth of a monster in the sky, rolling up a tornado, sucking the sea water into the roll and going upstream, straight into the sky.
The terrifying scene outside the cabin that seemed like the end of the world instantly made Xiang Wanting fall into a stupor, and he suddenly remembered the reminder of the strange old man before.
But this is too exaggerated, where is this storm, this is simply a super super super storm!
You must know that the Xilian is a 160,000-ton luxury cruise ship, and now this giant ship is actually tilted back and forth by the waves, which is simply an incredible thing.
Xiang Wanting even wondered if there was some powerful war beast making waves in the sea that would cause the current situation to happen, and with the noisy sound of the waves, he could even hear the exclamations and cries for help from the lower level visitors.
The sea water seems to have gradually submerged the deck at the bottom level, if it weren't for Xiang Wanting who was still immersed in the cultivation of soul power, it is estimated that he would have discovered the abnormality outside.
Just when Xiang Wanting hadn't come back to his senses, the door of the room was slammed open, and Moxi rushed in with the four-leaf bear.
"Wanting, the storm is really coming! I just went outside to take a look, the deck was split by lightning and a big hole, and now the sailors on the ship are all carrying war beasts to repair the hole, the water has overflowed, everyone is running outside, what should we do now?"
Seeing that Moxi looked like a six-god owner, Xiang Wanting calmed down and asked, "Xiaoxi, you went out to see it just now, can the boat still be saved?"
"I guess it's enough, now the waves outside are higher than the boats, even if the hole is repaired, it won't help. ”
"Then let's go to the deck below. ”
"I've heard that a lot of people have been swept into the sea by the waves, and it's too dangerous there!"
Seeing Moxi's puzzled look, Xiang Wanting explained: "Look at the current situation, the ship is estimated to be unable to be saved, I saw that there is a rescue cabin on the deck before I came, if we can find a rescue cabin and a glimmer of life, we don't have a water war beast, we don't have the slightest ability to survive in the sea, if we wait here, it is no different from waiting for death." ”
As he spoke, Xiang Wanting took out two more mountaineering ropes from the space wristband, threw them to Moxi, and tied himself to the moonlight leopard.
"You tie the four-leaf bear with a rope, be careful when you go down, don't get swept into the sea, let's go down and find the rescue pod!"
