Chapter Forty-Nine: Bumps, Separation
With a gasp, Zhao Lan finally understood why so many whales appeared in groups.
"Let's go."
It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave. Just came the whale frenzy, and now the tsunami is coming.
Zhao Lan waved the oars wildly, rowed the sea hard, and chased in the direction of the previous whale by the turbulent current.
Anyway, get out of here.
Although Zhao Lan can't locate at sea, it's always right to follow whales, because whales often get lost and rush to the shore to run aground.
It's just that after the whale frenzy just now, Letao and Li Xing don't seem to be so nervous, and they don't think much of Zhao Lan's sense of worry.
"Brother Zhao, it's okay, the big kun swarm just now didn't kill us, and the tsunami you just said must be even more fine."
"Yes, Brother Zhao, I didn't even meet the legendary Kun, what else is there to be afraid of."
Le Tao and the others jokingly lay in the cabin, laughed and watched Zhao Lan rowing hard here, waved his hand and said, "We've been rowing for a day, and we're quite tired, I think Brother Zhao, you should rest first." ”
Zhao Lan didn't speak, looking at the slowly descending mountain behind him with a nervous expression, and turned his head to wave the oars as fast as ever.
The sea rushed from the back of the boat, constantly ramming into the narrow fishing boat.
"But this ship is quite sturdy, I have heard before that the sea must be a big ship, and the small boat will capsize at a random wave."
Le Tao patted the hull of the boat under him comfortably, shook his head at Li Xing beside him and said: "The last time I went to Yangzhou to meet my friends, I saw a few painting boats running on the Grand Canal. But at that time, I heard some people say that this kind of painting boat is useless, and it has to be turned over when it goes to the sea. ”
"I never thought that we could just fish out a fishing boat from those pirates now, and we can row so far on the sea, it's really ......"
Before Le Tao finished speaking, the hull of the boat shook violently, instantly throwing him up from the left side, and half of his body was thrown out of the hull.
It was easy to climb back into the cabin with the help of Zhao Lan and Li Xing, and before he could catch his breath, he heard Zhao Lan say in a light tone.
"Hold on."
A huge wave came from behind the ship, like a continuous mountain peak, and from time to time it threw the boat up the top of the mountain and then into the valley bottom.
"Brother Zhao, what's going on, hmm."
The body was like a ball, constantly rolling around in the cabin, and even a few times Letao, who almost rolled out of the boat, looked at Zhao Lan, who was not moving like a mountain, and asked sadly.
Why did it become like this, it was just a little bump just now, why did it suddenly become like heaven and earth, I am not a kun, I can become a Dapeng flying into the sky.
As soon as Ke Le Tao opened his mouth, before he could say a few words, a stream of salty sea water poured into his mouth, and he was instantly forced to close his mouth.
Zhao Lan leaned down and tried her best to grasp the center of gravity of her body, so as to avoid rolling on the boat like Le Tao, with a blue nose and swollen face.
This was the first time he had encountered a tsunami, and it was also thanks to the fact that many whales had swam before, and even their boats were far away from the range of the tsunami, otherwise, with the location they had just been, Zhao Lan estimated that they should be holding a group of broken wooden planks now, playing Robinson Crusoe at sea.
I don't know how long the bump lasted, the hull finally became calm, Zhao Lan took a light breath, let go of his hands that were almost numb, and fell into the cabin that was still a little shaken.
"Whew~"
Le Tao got up from the cabin with a blue nose and swollen face, and kept screaming from his mouth.
The shaking of the hull just now had tormented him, and the hull was so hard that his face kept bumping into the cabin, and there was no intact place on his face for a long time.
"Brother Zhao, the little monk is gone."
Just as everyone sighed and touched their faces, the little Taoist Wuji, who had been silent, suddenly let out an exclamation.
When Zhao Lan heard his voice, he immediately pushed Le Tao away and walked to the place where the little monk was lying just now, but he found nothing except a broken piece of cloth.
The remaining four people hurriedly searched around the hull, but after all, it was night, and the line of sight was greatly obstructed, and the four of them searched for a long time without finding any trace of the little monk.
Just as the three of them were about to give up searching, Li Xing suddenly pointed to the distance and said in surprise: "Look, is that a little elder?" ”
Zhao Lan and the little Taoist priest looked around for a long time, and finally saw a person lying on his back on the sea in the moonlight that inadvertently shone down, drifting into the distance.
"I'm going to bring him back!"
Zhao Lan took off his robe, jumped into the water, and swam into the distance, Li Xinghe, who was not at ease with the two, took off his robe and jumped into the water, and swam towards the little monk with Zhao Lan.
The seawater soaked Zhao Lan's left shoulder and dipped into the wound on his left shoulder, and the salty sea water instantly eroded his wound, making Zhao Lan can't help but let out a muffled snort.
However, Zhao Lan still frowned and swam towards the little monk.
"You take him back to the ship first, and I'll be there later."
Handing over the little monk to Li Xing, Zhao Lan suddenly said this, which made Li Xing a little surprised, but seeing the coldness in Zhao Lan's eyes, Li Xing was stunned, and dragged the little monk towards the fishing boat.
Seeing Li Xing leave, Zhao Lan took out the short sword from the ring, took a deep breath, and sank to the bottom.
The wound was soaked in seawater, and there was already a little blood, and just when he handed over the little monk to Li Xing, Zhao Lan clearly saw a shark slowly approaching him.
Hungry sharks are generally not picky eaters, and sometimes they will eat any creature in the water, but relatively speaking, they will eat the bleeding food first.
If it was Zhao Lan who swam to the fishing boat with the little monk now, it is estimated that both of them would be unable to escape death.
But when Zhao Lan sank into the water, he found that a wound on the leg of the little monk who was slowly leaving was slowly diffusing blood.
And the shark only glanced at Zhao Lan slightly, then turned his head and swung his tail and rushed in the direction of the little monk.
Worst!
Its original target was the little monk.
Zhao Lan, who discovered this fact, immediately swam towards the shark with his arms open, but in the seawater, his movements were far less agile than that of this ocean overlord.
When he saw that the shark was about to bite the little monk's leg, several dolphins suddenly rushed out of the oblique thorn and slammed into the shark's body, pushing it to the side.
Zhao Lan floated to the surface and saw that the shark's fins were still dangling around Li Xing and the others, so he bit the knife in his mouth and swam over again.
The dolphins surrounded the little monk and Li Xing, and the sharks could not break through their encirclement, so they could only swim in circles around Li Xing and the others; Finally, under the escort of the dolphins, the little monk was finally sent to the fishing boat.
The shark could no longer chase the little monk's body, so it swam in the direction of Zhao Lan again following the smell of blood.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Lan took the knife from his mouth and sank into the sea again.
The shark is a creature that will chase you until you reach the shore unless you kill it.
I remember reading a book called The Old Man and the Sea, which seems to tell such a story.
The shark swung its body fiercely and rushed towards Zhao Lan, and the huge jaws under its head were also wide open, like an invincible giant hole that could move, and instantly rushed in front of Zhao Lan.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Lan held the sword tightly in his hand, twisted his body lightly in the water, and raised the sword to the shark's mouth.
**How can it be compared to the Edman alloy, the dry sword slashed into the corner of the shark's mouth lightly. And Zhao Lan's side body also deftly flashed the shark's collision, and the short sword in his hand also cut through the shark's body, opening a huge hole in its left body.
But I don't know if the shark's flesh is too tight, when Zhao Lan drew his sword, he felt a suction force frantically sucking his short sword, Zhao Lan kept pulling it out many times, until the oxygen in his mouth was almost exhausted.
The shark's body trembled wildly with severe pain, its huge mouth opened wide as if it let out a silent roar, and its writhing blood-dripping body swayed quickly into the distance, wanting to escape from Zhao Lan, the enemy who had brought him great trauma.
But before it could swim far, a group of sharks that had gathered at the smell of blood rushed towards it excitedly, tearing it to pieces in an instant.
Zhao Lan wanted to put the cadre into the ring, but tried several times in a row, but he was unsuccessful.
Struggling to the surface, Zhao Lan found that the ring on his right hand was originally red like blood, but for some reason, it turned into a gray stone at this moment.
Damn, is this stained with someone else's blood?
Zhao Lan thought about it and guessed that it was probably because the sea water had just been mixed with the blood of the little monk, and the ring lost its effect.
Looking up for the fishing boat, Zhao Lan was surprised to find that he couldn't see the trace of the fishing boat at all.
Thinking of the moment when he couldn't draw his sword just now, Zhao Lan suddenly understood that he didn't know how far he had swam away when he was carried by a shark......
Looking up, while the sharks were sharing their food companions, Zhao Lan picked a direction and swam along.
Fortunately, Zhao Lan swam for less than ten minutes, and then saw that there seemed to be a piece of land in the distance, in the direction of landing, Zhao Lan swam for an hour, and finally at the moment when his arms were numb, he was washed up on the shore by the high tide of water.
Lying weakly on the soft sand, Zhao Lan turned over and panted on her back to the sky.
It's safe!
The wind blew through Zhao Lan's body, making him shudder, got up and looked at the sea behind him, Zhao Lan headed towards the land.
Either way, at least find a place to spend the night.
But as soon as he stood up, he felt his head dizzy for a while, and he stroked his head and walked a few steps, Zhao Lan's body suddenly weakened, his head hit a stone under his feet, and he fainted suddenly.
