Being twisted for no reason, Ruan Chi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then raised his forehead and said, "What are you doing?" Scared? Could it be that you are afraid of thunder? ”

Li Huangrong found out that the person she was holding was Ruan Chi, although she was a little timid by the lightning and thunder outside, but she still let go of Ruan Chi very stubbornly, "Who...... Who is afraid. ”

At this time, there was another violent shaking outside, and the people in the cabin couldn't stand firmly, Li Huangrong still had something to say, but she was immediately made out of balance by this bump, and fell into Ruan Chi's arms again.

Ruan Chi also subconsciously hugged her, and his body rolled to the side uncontrollably, but Ruan Chi was quick and grabbed a wooden pillar at the moment of falling.

"Ahh

Li Huangrong in her arms was so frightened that she looked up, and when she raised her head slightly, she realized that it was Ruan Chi who saved her, so she whispered, "Thank you...... Thank. ”

Ruan Chi grinned, did not tease her, but glanced at the cabin, although the bump just now caused a certain amount of confusion, but the others almost grabbed some fixed objects and successfully stabilized their bodies.

"What was the impact just now? Why is the boat jolting so much? Auf said in a deep voice.

"It feels like something hit our boat, so let's go out and have a look." Li Yuanlong thought about it and said.

"Brother Yuanlong, I'll accompany you." Li Yinong grabbed his hand and said.

"That's not good, Yinong, you're a magician, your skills are limited, you shouldn't go out with me." Li Yuanlong refused.

Li Yinong thought about it and felt that it was indeed difficult for him to move in the bad weather outside, so he nodded. "Okay. I'm just going to stay here. ”

said. Li Yinong cast a few buff spells on everyone, and also specially built a light barrier to surround everyone.

"I'll come with you, too." Auf stood up and said to Li Yuanlong.

Li Yuanlong nodded and did not refuse again, and walked outside the cabin without saying a word, and Auf followed.

"Why don't you go?" Li Huangrong was already a little worried, but when she saw that Li Yuanlong and Aofu had gone out, she saw Ruan Chi standing motionless. I can't help but be a little dissatisfied.

"What's my business? Haven't they already gone out? Ruan Chi rolled his eyes and said, he is in line with the principle that more is better than less.

"Coward, must you be afraid that the wind and rain outside will be swept away by the sea?" Li Huangrong pouted.

"Oh, I don't know who is cowardly, they are all holding my waist now." Ruan Chi suddenly said in a strange voice.

When they said this, Li Huangrong was shocked to realize that she was still twisting Ruan Chi's waist in a very intimate posture, and she was so frightened that she let go of her hand.

Fortunately, Li Yinong's Light Barrier had been opened, and even without Ruan Chi, Li Huangrong could stand firm now.

The scene of the two "flirting and scolding" happened to be seen by Li Guojing not far away. A hint of the end clearly flashed in his eyes, needless to say. This stupid boy must be thinking crookedly again.

……

Time passed little by little, the wind and rain outside became stronger and stronger, and the boat was shaking from time to time, although it was not as strong as at the beginning, but the bumpy Cheng dù was still quite large.

At this time, Li Yuanlong and Aufu, who left the cabin and ran out of the deck, both walked back, their bodies were wet with rain, and even their hair kept dripping.

When Mach saw his regimental commander returning, he was the first to step forward and ask, "Regimental commander?" What's the situation out there? ”

Auf said with a solemn face, "It's very not optimistic, in addition to the storm, we found that a large number of sea beasts appeared on the sea, and the first attack just now was caused by those sea beasts hitting the ship." ”

"Sea beasts?"

Hearing Auf's words, everyone present except Ruan Chi showed a worried look.

The sea beast is not an ordinary sea creature, but a sea monster similar to the magical beast that lives on land, and can also use magic.

It's bad enough to encounter a natural disaster-level storm, but if you still encounter a sea beast, it's simply not a way to live, you know, fighting a sea beast at sea, most people will be limited by the environment and be at a disadvantage.

Seeing everyone's worried looks, Li Yuanlong stood up and comforted, "Don't worry, the situation is not the worst, I observed with Captain Auf just now and found that although this storm came very violently, it should not have completely reached the level of natural disasters." As for those sea beasts, although there are many of them, most of them are small sea beasts, and with the defense power of our ship, they should be able to withstand them. ”

Li Yuanlong's words were still very effective, and the others quickly calmed down after listening to them.

"I think it's imperative to strengthen the ship's defenses, such as carving some magic, so that it can counteract the attacks of those sea beasts." Among the eleven convicted people, a middle-aged man dressed as a magician said.

"Mr. Perrault is right, our top priority is to keep the ship." Li Yinong nodded in agreement.

Sailing on the sea like this, and there is no land around them, the only thing they can rely on is the "Penglai" merchant ship they are currently taking. If the ship capsizes, they will be buried in the sea, no matter how powerful they are.

So, under Li Yinong's arrangement, among the eleven convicted people, including the middle-aged man named Perrault, a total of 5 magicians began to carry out the work of magic engraving.

The so-called magic engraving is actually the magic after chanting, and the magic is poured into the inanimate inorganic matter in the form of drawing runes.

In addition to marking defensive magic, this magic mark can also mark offensive or curse magic, and can be activated as long as the activation conditions are met.

This technique was originally developed when magicians were making magic items, and it was later popularized when it was used for temporary tasks that required magic seals.

Of course, this kind of temporary magic mark, the effect of magic when activated will be greatly reduced, but now the situation is critical, and everyone can't care about it so much.

The work of magic engraving requires a lot of attention, and now that the hull is shaking, it is even more difficult, so in order to let Li Yinong complete the engraving smoothly, Li Yuanlong deliberately found a few people. Guarding their side. to ensure that there is no error in engraving.

"It's finally good!"

After almost half an hour. Li Yinong wiped the fragrant sweat on her forehead, she was the most powerful magician here, so the time to complete the engraving should be faster than others.

When Li Yinong engraved the sixth-level magic of "Guardian of Light" onto the hull of the ship, the magic was automatically triggered, and a layer of white light that was about the same as there was immediately covered the entire ship.

In order to strengthen this magic, Li Yinong consumed a lot of magic power, and the engraving originally required the mental power of the caster, so after completing the engraving. Li Yinong was a little overwhelmed.

At this time, the wind and waves outside made the cabin shake again, and Li Yinong lost her balance for a while and fell, but fortunately Li Yuanlong helped her in time.

"Yinong, are you alright?" Li Yuanlong looked at his fiancée with pity, and personally took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

"I'm fine." Li Yinong shook his head lightly and said.

Later, the other four magicians of the Wings of Judgment also completed the engraving, and as the magic engraved on the hull was activated, various defensive spells with different attributes protected the entire ship.

"You've all worked hard until the engraving is complete. Rest well tonight, as for the vigil. Leave it to us rough people in physics. Auf walked over and said to the five magicians, including Li Yinong.

Because of the protection of defensive magic, the cabin, which was shaking violently, was much more stable. Li Yuanlong and Auf began to arrange for people to stay behind to observe the changes in the storm outside, while the rest went back to their rooms to rest.

Ruan Chi was not arranged by them, so he returned to his room very early.

In the long night, the storm did not stop at all, and a merchant ship as large as the Penglai was like a small boat rising and falling with the churning sea in this bad weather environment, as if it would be swallowed by the sea anytime and anywhere.

This is the power of nature, and human power seems very small in front of it.

I thought that tonight should pass like this, but when Ruan Chi lay in bed and slept until midnight, a violent jolt outside woke him up.

"What's the situation?" Ruan Chi sat up when suddenly there was a loud bang, and the whole ship shook violently as if it had hit a mountain, and Ruan Chi could even hear the screams of those people outside.

Without saying a word, I got up and ran out, but at the door of another room, I saw a wet wolf bèi running out, and this person was Mach.

"What are you doing and you're wet, are you taking a shower in the middle of the night?" Ruan Chi said with a smile.

"You just took a shower, and there was a hole in my room, and sea water rushed in." Ma He didn't expect that the scene of his wolf bèi was seen by Ruan Chi, and he shouted unhappily at the moment.

Seawater?

Ruan Chi was stunned for a moment, then looked down, and sure enough, he saw water gushing out of Mach's room, and there was a gradual tendency to increase.

Not only Mahe's room alone, but also many people's rooms have a very strict water seepage, needless to say, it must be related to the loud noise just now.

At this time, Ruan Chi saw Aofu and Li Yuanlong walking down from the deck, their faces were solemn, and they knew that something was wrong at a glance.

"Brother Auf, Brother Yuanlong, is something happening?" Li Yinong, who was wearing pajamas and a coat outside, walked up and asked.

"It's a bit of trouble, the number of sea beasts outside has suddenly increased somehow, not only that, but there are also three large sea beast overlords among them."

The so-called sea beast overlords are actually similar to the leaders of the sea beast group, their status is higher than that of ordinary sea beasts, and they have a certain amount of wisdom, and they are responsible for commanding the king of sea beasts in the surrounding sea area.

Hearing the appearance of the Sea Beast Overlord, everyone's faces turned ugly again, and they thought that they should be able to sit back and relax with a few layers of defensive magic engraved on the ship, but they didn't expect that only a few hours had passed, and a new situation had reappeared.

It seems that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

"The presence of several large sea beast overlords at the same time indicates that our ship has inadvertently entered the territory where they are fighting for territory, and the only way now is to leave this area immediately." Li Yuanlong said in a deep voice.

"But now that the wind is still blowing outside, it is very dangerous to reopen the ship, and if we bypass this area, it will take us half more time to return to Penglai." Beside Li Yuanlong, a Huaxia clan member whom Ruan Chi had seen spoke up.

"It's better to take a long detour than to stay here." Auve expressed support for Li Yuanlong's Jianyidao.

"That's how we decide, let's go and restart the Demon Crystal Power Furnace immediately and leave this sea area immediately." Li Yinong nodded.

But at this time, Ruan Chi, who had been watching the excitement, suddenly asked, "Why do we have to take a long detour?" Can't you just kill those sea beasts outside? ”

Ruan Chi seemed to have asked a very idiotic question, and everyone looked at him with a strange gaze.

"What's wrong? Am I wrong? Ruan Chi asked with an innocent face.

"Idiot, you want to fight sea beasts on the sea, and in this bad weather, are you crazy?" Mach was the first to speak sarcastically.

Li Yinong looked embarrassed and explained softly, "The combat effectiveness of the sea beasts in the sea is very strong, plus there are so many of them, it is difficult for us to defeat them, and the most important thing is that once we attack those sea beasts and provoke them, they will attack our ship frantically, if the ship is destroyed, we will be in danger." ”

"Yinong is right, fighting at sea is indeed very passive for us, and avoidance is a direct solution, although this brother's idea is good, but it is very unrealistic." Although Li Yuanlong said this, obviously, when he looked at Ruan Chi, his eyes still flashed with a trace of contempt like everyone else.

Obviously, in Li Yuanlong's eyes, Ruan Chi is just a little ghost who doesn't know the height of the sky.

"Brother, you're taking too much risk by doing this." Auf couldn't stand it, so he gently pulled Ruan Chi and said something in his ear.

"I really didn't see it." Li Huangrong simply covered her face, with an expression of not knowing Ruan Chi.

Seeing that everyone ignored Ruan Chi, Ma He was proud, "Hear it, don't think that you have a little strength and just come here, you don't have any common sense at all." ”

In the face of Maher's taunt, Ruan Chi just shrugged his shoulders, "I don't understand this, but I don't think there is a problem with my method, rather than a detour, I would rather kill those monsters that stand in the way." ”

With that, Ruan Chi walked towards the exit of the cabin under the shocked gaze of everyone.

"Is he crazy?" Li Huangrong looked at Ruan Chi's back and muttered.

After Ruan Chi stepped onto the deck, he could clearly see how fierce the storm outside was, the sky was black and oppressive, and he couldn't see anything except lightning and thunder.

Because the wind and rain hit his face and his eyes could barely be opened, Ruan Chi thought about it and opened the system menu, changing the option of "equipment hidden" to "equipment display".

Ruan Chi usually hides his equipment, and he looks like he is just wearing a cloth coat, but now he has modified it to display equipment, and equipment such as the armor of giants and the mask of ghosts and gods immediately appeared in a burst of blue lightning.

Ruan Chi immediately turned into a heavily armed armored knight. (To be continued......)
