Chapter 40: Shipwrecked

"Let's go, get to the deck. After watching Moxi fix him and the four-leaf bear with ropes on both sides with a climbing rope, Xiang Wanting took the lead and walked out of the smashed hatch with the moonlight leopard.

The shaking of the hull became more and more violent, the hull kept tilting back and forth, and many passengers in the corridor could not stand still at all, and many fell to the ground, crying for help in a panic.

At this time, whether you are a rich person in first class or not, no one will be interested in helping you when you are too busy to take care of yourself, and money status has no role in disaster.

Xiang Wanting naturally didn't have time to take care of these people, and although Moxi also swayed from side to side, fortunately, his four-leaf bear was huge, and being tied to the four-leaf bear also prevented him from becoming one of the people who fell to the ground in the corridor.

With his telekinesis, Xiang Wanting's body could float for a short time, and the violent shaking of the hull had no effect on him, and in the chaotic scene, no one would notice his abnormality here.

Soon, Xiang Wanting and the Moonlight Leopard took the lead in rushing out of the corridor on the top floor, and Moxi also followed closely with the four-leaf bear.

The wind and waves outside had reached an alarming level, wind and rain were intertwined, lightning and thunder were mixed, and the fierce rain hit Xiang Wanting's face, almost making him unable to see the road down.

Braving the wind and rain, Xiang Wanting came to the side of the restaurant on the first floor, which was crowded with people at this time, and many guests who lived on the lower floor used the restaurant as a temporary refuge.

"Wanting, it's too stormy outside, what should we do now!?"

"There's no way, if you stay here, you'll die, do you remember where the rescue pod is on the deck?" The violent sound of the waves made the communication between the two not smooth, and only loud shouting could hear what they were saying to each other.

Xiang Wanting looked through the glass of the dining room and glanced at these people who were hiding inside and did not dare to move around at will, all of which were full of fear, human beings were so pale and powerless in the face of disaster.

As the water level slowly rises, it also means that they will not have a long safe period here, and when the water rises, the restaurant will definitely be flooded, and the end of these people hiding on the first floor is not much better than those on the deck who are swept into the sea by the strong wind.

Moxie nodded and shouted, "I remember!" on the west side of the deck, as we got on the boat and passed there, I saw several small rescue pods parked there. ”

"Let's go, you lead the way!"

Mo Xi naturally had no opinion on Xiang Wanting's words, and immediately left the eaves of the restaurant and walked outside, but he almost slipped and fell to the ground after taking a few steps.

Because the wind and rain outside were too strong, and the ground was full of water, Moxi himself had reached the point where it was difficult to move an inch, so he had to sit on the back of the four-leaf bear and direct the four-leaf bear forward.

At this time, the advantage of walking on four feet is reflected, the four-leaf bear can move slowly and steadily on the ground, and Xiang Wanting carries the moonlight leopard that is drenched like a soup dog, and follows closely behind.

The situation on the deck was not ideal, those sailors all brought their war beasts to repair the large hole that had been split by lightning, although they barely blocked the hole to prevent the water from continuing to overflow, but they could only withstand it for a while, and the situation was not too optimistic.

An unlucky sailor was swept into the dark sea water with his own war beast when the waves hit the ground, and if it wasn't for Xiang Wanting to stabilize his body with mental power in time, he would have almost been swept into it together.

At this time, no one would bother with Xiang Wanting, and the two teenagers walked along the deck all the way to the west, and finally saw the rescue pods that Moxi had mentioned.

The rescue cabin is not big, it looks seven or eight points similar to the lifeboat, and the whole body is reinforced with metal materials, that is, it has a transparent metal cover more than the ordinary lifeboat, plus a metal door, which can accommodate about seven or eight people.

On the side of the deck, where three rescue pods were docked, secured to the railing with arm-thick ropes, Moxie tried to untie them, but to no avail.

In desperation, the four-leaf bear directly spat out a green beam of energy, and finally broke the rope, and Xiang Wanting hurriedly tried to find a way to open the hatch.

The downpour hit his face, which made Xiang Wanting's vision a little blocked, and he didn't know much about the structure of this kind of rescue cabin, so he really couldn't find a way to open the hatch for a while.

After fumbling for a while, he found a square opening the size of two palms on the hatch of the rescue pod, and found the knocker that opened the hatch from inside.

"Wanting, is the hatch open?"

"Right now!"

Xiang Wanting made a effort, but he didn't open the iron ring at once, it really took a little effort to open this hatch, even with his current mid-level war beast master's physique, it was a little untouchable, no wonder those rescue capsules were placed here at will, which ordinary people really couldn't open.

Fortunately, Xiang Wanting still has the hidden means of telekinesis, and with the blessing of telekinesis, after a "crunch", he opened the hatch of the rescue cabin.

Holding the moonlight leopard into the rescue cabin, Moxi also followed, but the four-leaf bear was too large to get into the rescue cabin, and Moxi had to withdraw it to the soul space.

When the two men closed the hatch, they discovered a very serious problem, how could they get such a large rescue pod into the sea?

Is it obviously unrealistic to wait for the sea water to completely submerge the hull? This is obviously unrealistic, although the Xilian is leaking everywhere, but it is a large cruise ship, it is really impossible to sink for a while and a half, if it is discovered that the two of them occupy a rescue pod before this, then they probably will not have any good fruit to eat.

"What should we do in the evening pavilion, we can't get the rescue pod into the sea!"

Moxie also found out about this problem and couldn't help but get anxious.

Xiang Wanting pondered for a moment and said, "Xiaoxi, if you let the four-leaf bear push the rescue pod into the water, will you have time to take it back?"

"No, it's too late. Moxie shook his head affirmatively, if this was the case, it would be almost abandoning the four-leaf bear on the deck, and this rescue pod was all made of metal, weighing thousands of pounds, and the four-leaf bear might not be able to move it.

Just when the two of them were at a loss, the hatch of the rescue pod was suddenly opened, startling them, and they thought that the sailors on the ship had discovered them and wanted to arrest them.

But after the other party opened the rescue cabin, he suddenly got in, and closed the door of the rescue cabin as fast as lightning.

"Is that you?"

It wasn't until the hatch closed that Xiang Wanting saw clearly that the person who suddenly entered the rescue cabin was the strange old man they had met on the deck before.

"Two children, we meet again. ”

The old man shook his hand at them, said hello to them, and remembered that the old man had already said that there would be a storm, but they had not believed it before.

Thinking of this, Xiang Wanting felt that this old man must not be simple, and just wanted to say something, the old man interrupted him with a smile: "This Xilian won't last long, time is pressing, now is not the time to chat, you should sit tight first." ”

Before Xiang Wanting and the others could figure out why they wanted to sit firmly, the entire rescue capsule was suddenly lifted, drawing a parabola in the air and flying towards the sea.

"I'll go, is it so exciting!?"

The last picture that Xiang Wanting could see through the hatch was that the man stood up and had a two-person-tall Vortex Frog Emperor and made a gesture of throwing things.

The rescue capsule rolled and swirled in the air, and after a pop of planting into the sea, it slowly floated up, although the sea surface was turbulent, but fortunately, this rescue cabin was designed for shipwrecks, and it was very well taken into account, even if it hit the reef, there would be no problem.

The two teenagers who had experienced this kind of thing for the first time, including the moonlight leopard, had Venus in their eyes after experiencing the 1,800-degree rotation of the life-saving capsule, and they were uncomfortable and speechless, but the old man looked like an old god at ease, as if he was used to this kind of scene.

And just when Xiang Wanting and the others hadn't come back to their senses, the Storm Vortex Frog Emperor on the deck also jumped off the sea with an ordinary sound, swam to the side of the rescue cabin, and lifted the rescue cabin on his back.

"You two children are really naΓ―ve, you must know that this kind of rescue pod on the ship has no function of driving, if there is no water war beast to help you move forward, you can only go with the flow, and the final outcome is most likely to drift at sea for two or three days and then die of dehydration. ”

The rescue cabin that was dragged by the Vortex Frog Emperor on his back also became much more stable in the wind and waves, and the old man waited for Xiang Wanting and the two to ease up a little, and explained to them in a serious tone.

If you don't say that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, Xiang Wanting listened to the old man's words, and felt that this sentence was really reasonable, if this experienced old man happened to appear today, the ghost knows if they would have a chance to escape from the boat in the end.

In other words, in fact, this old man saved the lives of Xiang Wanting and the others in disguise.

For his life-saving benefactor, Xiang Wanting naturally immediately became much more respectful, and thanked: "Old man, thank you for your help today, we didn't believe your words before, I'm really embarrassed." ”

"My name is Han Ge, I've been crazy for decades longer than you, if you don't mind, children, just call me Old Han. The old man smiled absently.

"Old Han, thank you really for today, but how did you know that the storm was coming?"

"I'm a little older than you, so I'm a little more experienced than you, because I'm a legend researcher, and in order to verify the existence of legendary beasts, I have been floating on the sea all year round, and today's big storm didn't come without warning. ”

"So today's terrible storm is related to the legendary divine beast?" Old Han's words made Xiang Wanting seem to think of something, and asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, to be precise, it is not only related to the divine beast, but also related to the legendary Seven Water Gods. ”
