It was midday, but the sun was covered by thick clouds, and the slightest raindrops hit Rocky's body, waking him from his slumber.

"Why don't you call me when it's raining, I don't have any majesty as a captain."

Roach hurriedly got up from the recliner, looked around but saw the other two, and stood up to see Ulki and the panda standing in the bow of the boat.

Roach walked towards them, and the closer he got, the more solemn his expression became.

"That's ........."

"The updraft is about to begin."

There was a hint of excitement on Urki's face, and the panda had become accustomed to this thrilling adventure after passing the upside-down mountain.

I saw a tornado forming rapidly on the surface of the sea, and the whole sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it was about to be pressed overhead.

The tornado, which turned out to be only ten meters away, grew bigger little by little, and after ten minutes, it had already covered the sky and the sun, and the storm was mixed with thunder and lightning and coral gravel in the sea, which looked extremely dangerous.

"Are you sure you can get to Sky Island with this tornado?" Roach asked, a little incredulous.

Urki's tone was also a little hesitant, but it quickly settled down.

"That's it, probably the most dangerous of the updrafts we've encountered."

"What then?" Panda said worriedly.

"If you miss it, you may have to wait a long time for the next one." Urki muttered to himself, his eyes undisguised his desire to return to the Sky Island.

Roach nodded, spitting into the sea.

"Let's go, Yang Fan set sail, I believe that as long as the debris in the tornado is avoided, there is no great danger."

"Yes." Urki nodded, and then said, "Then as soon as possible, although this tornado looks ferocious, it doesn't last long." ”

Roach immediately began to prepare, the sails were unfurled, the anchor was raised, and the vodka was much faster than usual because of the strong wind of the tornado.

The shape of the ship is slightly different from before, and an air cushion is installed on the edge of the bottom of the boat, mainly to hold the ship up above the sea of clouds.

"Urki, you'll be in charge of the rudder." Roach nodded at him.

"Okay."

"The panda mainsail is yours."

"Understood."

Roach controls the angle of the sidesail and deploys, and in the ****, they get closer and closer to the tornado, and then plunge headlong.

"Drink!!"

Urki's eyes widened, the muscles of his arms swelled to the extreme, and the rudder he held creaked.

Maintaining the direction of the vodka in such a wind naturally requires a great deal of strength, and even Urki is faintly out of strength.

"If you really can't control it, open the jet port." Rocky shouted at him.

Urki shook his head, he knew that once he turned on the jet, he would not be able to use it again in a short period of time, and once he encountered danger, he would have to resign himself to fate.

"No, I can, absolutely!"

His legs slammed so hard that the deck cracked, and he dug his feet into the plank, using his strength to fight the storm.

Rocky was no better, the direction of the tornado was extremely changeable, and he could only constantly adjust the sidesail and command the panda to control the mainsail to take off and land, so that the boat was more stable.

But even Roach himself didn't realize that his seamanship was growing by leaps and bounds as the voyage experienced danger.

Thanks to the efforts of the crowd, the Vodka made its way through the thick storm layer and reached the center of the city.

The center of the tornado was much calmer than they had imagined, and they couldn't even feel the wind around them, and a gust of wind gradually rose from the bottom of the ship.

"Oooh."

The panda let out an exclamation, the lighter bow of the ship being lifted little by little, while the heavier stern was still on the water.

"Panda closes mainsail."

Under Roach's command, the vodka gradually adjusted, little by little to find balance, and the wind also lifted them towards the sky.

"It's an updraft, it's incredible." The panda muttered to himself, and couldn't help but look down from the edge of the boat, only to see that the sea was already a certain distance.

Roach walked over and patted it on the shoulder, sneering, "Don't forget to land." ”

"Uh......"

As the altitude became higher and higher, the air gradually became thinner, but fortunately, the three of them were not ordinary people, and even the people of Urki, an empty island, became more and more comfortable in this air environment.

But it didn't last long, and the perennial smile on his face began to stiffen a little.

"The wind is decreasing."

"What?" Rocky was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that the vodka began to decline in speed as it ascended.

"I don't know, according to reason, it should be more than enough to reach the empty island." Urki is also a little unclear.

"I see, it's Ironwood." Roach said with a frown and some annoyance.

"This kind of wood is much heavier than the others, I didn't even take that into account, and it was okay to throw away some supplies and goods at that time."

"What then, Captain." The panda felt the vodka that had almost come to a standstill in mid-air, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"It's okay, when the updrafts fade away, we can get back to the surface of the sea little by little." Urki said with some regret in his tone.

"That's good."

Looking at the two who had given up, Rocky kept moving, and a crazy thought suddenly surged into his mind after thinking about it.

"There's still a chance, Urki!"

The two looked at him, only to see Roach pointing to a huge reef in the middle of the storm.

"Press down on the rudder, stab the vodka with its own weapon, the harpoon, and as long as the bow is up, open the jet port."

"Ah, won't this ......" Urki subconsciously wanted to refuse, but saw Roach say categorically.

"It's absolutely fine, trust me, since it's all here, why don't you try it."

Panda and Ulki only hesitated for a moment, and then the two nodded heavily.

Everyone was engrossed in the reef in the middle of the storm, watching it circle around the center of the storm, and when it was parallel to the bow of the ship, the three of them let out a roar at the same time.

"Put !!"

The rudder pressed down, and a harpoon pierced out of it, connected by an iron chain, and the harpoon pierced its end into the hard stone of the reef.

The steady hull shook, and the bow of the ship was turned with the storm, gradually detaching itself from the center.

As the whole ship was pulled towards the storm little by little, the stern began to sink as well.

Roach, who had already stood in the bow of the ship, waited for a long time, and at the moment when the vodka was about to be pulled into the storm, he slammed his knife.
