Chapter 271: Storm Island (2-in-1)
"Captain Jiang .." Captain Thousand wanted to stop them, trying to find other entrances around the storm remnants.
But as Jiang Cang's words just now fell.
Takehiro had already drawn the sails and answered them with laughter and the sound of breaking waves, the men of the Herald, who were not afraid of the order.
What about even the most feared storm on the sea?
Captain Jiang's words are rushing.
At the same time, accompanied by the Pioneer into the storm area.
Everyone saw that although the sky was full of dark clouds and lightning and thunder, it did not seem to have any effect on the Pioneer at sea.
At best, the wind was stronger, and the sails were blown as if they were about to break away from the poles, allowing the ship to move at an off-the-beaten-thru speed and the waves to surge.
From a distance, it was as if a large hand had grasped the Pioneer and pushed it towards the center of the storm, and the ship rose and fell with the water, but on the whole it was clear and harmless as it was often encountered at sea.
In a short time, however, the huge shadow of the pioneer was no longer visible on the gloomy sea.
And at the same time, in the storm area a mile away.
Jiang Cang and the others also didn't know what to do, because their ship was heading towards the center of the storm, and they didn't need to take the helm, nor did they need to observe the unclear environment around them, it seemed that they were shaking like this, jolting with the sea water of the ship, and waiting, just like waiting for the Pioneer to sail into the center of the storm.
Just looking up, this scene of lightning and thunder, the dark clouds scattered on the sea all around, it seems that you are in the thunderclouds, this needs to be careful.
"The clouds are like the condensation of the sea.."
At this time, when everyone was observing and guarding the vicinity.
Xiao held on to the pole of the boat, looked at the sea for a while, and suddenly said to Jiang Cang and the others: "I have been observing for a long time, and I found that the sea water nearby seems to be 'evaporating', and gradually blends into the dark clouds around it... This is a bit similar to the usual rain cloud formation, but it is a lot faster, maybe it is the influence of the aura of this world, I don't know this a little.."
"The clouds must have been formed by water."
Hearing what Xiao said, Takehiro, who was leaning against the sail pole of the ship, smiled.
At the same time, he glanced at the sails blown by the strong wind above his head before he continued: "Everyone understands this truth, you just say that it is all the influence of aura." This wind is also a spiritual wind, and the dark clouds are also spiritual clouds. Originally, there was aura everywhere in this world, just like the Lingwu world. ”
"That's not what I meant." Xiao shook his head, he didn't care that everyone was in this environment, and Master Wu still had the heart to ridicule his own affairs.
Because what they said was right, and what they were going to say next was to take advantage of him.
"The treasure at the center of the storm is most likely underwater.." Xiao expressed his speculation, "Because of a high probability, or perhaps because of the influence of the treasure, the 'dark clouds' will form in the sea here?" ”
"In the books, on the TV.." Yun Mu had a different opinion, "Or some of the treasure places we encountered in the Yuan Energy World, aren't they all very strange environments?" ”
"That's true." Xiao didn't refute, "I just said my guess and asked the masters to prepare." It's possible that we'll fight in the worst possible environment, like..."
Owl pointed to the gloomy front that he couldn't see clearly in the distance, "In the water." ”
"Unlikely." Jiang Cang looked into the distance and pointed in the direction of the road he came from, "According to the news that Lao Zuo and they scattered, the location of the treasure is an island, or the so-called gods, and it has surfaced. So, I'm guessing whether it's an island, or land, and it's unlikely to be in the water. ”
"Just land.." Wu Hong touched the pole of the boat, and he didn't say anything, because he had never fought in the water, and he didn't like to fight in the water, which would affect his combat power.
The shadow sat behind the boat the whole time, listening to the conversation, but it was quite quiet and easy to ignore.
Yun Mu heard that the boat was quiet, only the thunder was nearby, so he didn't say anything, and he would see if the dragon head who knew everything was right, or the little brother who also knew everything guessed right.
Yunmu believes that everyone thinks this way.
Especially when he saw Brother Wu looking at Brother Xiao from time to time, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, as if as long as he waited for Brother Xiao to guess wrong, then what greeted Brother Xiao would be from a wave of spiritual language blows.
And when everyone thought like this, they waited for the Herald to break through the dark clouds and go to the location of the treasure.
Nearly two miles away, outside the storm zone.
Captain Qian and the others looked at the direction in which Jiang Cang's ship disappeared, still struggling, still confused, but at the same time, they didn't move.
"It always feels weird.." Captain Qian stared at the storm and dark clouds, and his heart wanted to go, but he was afraid.
But people die for money, birds die for food, and they are universal everywhere.
In addition, a few captains saw Jiang Cang and the others daring to rush, and played a leading role, and saw that it was okay to look at it now.
Their minds were alive again, not like Captain Qian's struggle, but they looked at each other from a distance of 100 meters, and shouted and encouraged to the captains: "Captain Jiang, they have passed... In case there is treasure in it.."
"yes.." A one-year-old captain, Captain Yan answered, "Where is the location where the treasure is hidden, where is it not dangerous?" We have been sailing for so many years, and we still have less fighting? In particular, we must know that Captain Jiang and they are 'pioneers of celibacy'. We really got the treasure, we have a share? ”
The blonde young man struck the pole wrapped in metal skin with his sword, and when he saw the captains looking at him, he bowed and invited, "I support the opinions of the two captains. Also, friends, you see, now that Captain Jiang is demonstrating, are you still afraid? ”
The blond young man said, and shouted to Lao Zuo, who was always keeping an eye on the storm area nearby: "Mr. Zuo, if I am unfortunately killed, please take out some savings and give them to my family." ”
"Rest assured.." Lao Zuo withdrew his gaze from the storm and shouted to the people who were looking at him: "My Lao Zuo has lived on the island all my life, and I don't want to be poked in the backbone by my old friends on the island. ”
When Lao Zuo said this, he clasped his fists at everyone and said: "Several captains are my friends with Lao Zuo, when did I lie to you?" ”
"Let's go!" Captain Qian saluted Lao Zuo, and let the crew members, who were a little nervous and scared, and some excited, set sail and walked through the area that Jiang Cang and the others had just passed.
"Is there really nothing to do.." The rest of the captains saw Captain Qian and the others taking their heads, and they couldn't suppress the thoughts of looking forward to the treasure in their hearts, so let's go together.
I have to say that the people called by Lao Zuo are all people who dare to fight, and when someone agitates now, they are really easy to get started.
It was only when they were on board and entered the storm area together.
As more than a dozen ships were swept across the sea by the wind's acceleration, it seemed to disturb the formation of the dark clouds nearby, upsetting a kind of balance.
When they had reached a mile or so, the sea was broken by the ships, and the waves rolled over.
Suddenly, a gap arose in the middle of a dark cloud, and with a loud 'boom' sound, a flash of thunder seemed to lose its restraint and fell heavily on the three poles of Captain One-Eyed Yan!
Suddenly there was a 'click' sound.
Accompanied by the 'creaking' sound of wood cracking, the screams of the crew, and the sound of falling into the water.
Captain Yan at the bow of the ship looked back and saw the thick sails of a few feet high ignite and fall, and the boat swayed back and forth for a few breaths, stopped in place, and drifted with the current.
There are also crew members on the sea who have just dodged the falling sails and subconsciously jumped into the sea.
"What about the captain.." The first mate organized the crew to put out the fire, and with the screams, rescued the crew members who had been hit by the pole from under the sails.
But the sails were useless, half of them burned, and the poles were all broken.
In such a storm circle, on the vast sea, if it is not repaired as soon as possible, it is undoubtedly death.
The only cloudy eye left by Captain Yan revealed some sadness, I don't know if it was for life and death, or for the ship.
Because this time it was fortunate that everyone acted together.
"There's something wrong with Lao Yan.." Captain Qian was right near Captain Yan, a hundred meters apart.
When he saw that Captain Yan's ship had been struck by lightning, and the ship had gone off the fire, and he couldn't save himself, he was righteous enough, so he stayed in this dangerous area for a while, temporarily changed the direction of the sails, and gradually approached there against the wind.
Lao Yan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the thousands of captains and them coming.
But Captain Qian scolded Lao Yan, "Don't fucking be sad about your broken ship!" Hurry up and let the brothers come to the side of the boat, I'll throw the locks! ”
Captain Qian shouted, and no one from the nearby captains came to save people, but their eyes were all looking here.
They shook their heads, sighed, and wanted to be saved, but everyone was not far away, and someone was blocking the sea.
"If there is no Captain Qian's rescue, Lao Yan will be hanging.." A bearded captain shook his head and looked at the old Yan and their ship behind, and gradually became farther away, and there were dark clouds nearby, and they could no longer see clearly.
Only the roar of the captain of the thousand ships was faintly heard in the thunder, as if to prove that they were still alive and still trying to rescue them.
"What are you doing? Let people get on board! ”
in the rescue area.
Captain Qian roared, and the crew of his ship threw fifty-seven ropes at Captain Yan one after another, and forty-eight of them were not slanted by the strong wind, hooked on Captain Yan's boat, and motioned for them to hurry up.
Captain Qian's first mate was also busy, constantly discerning the direction of the wind, changing the sails to rise and fall, and maintaining a distance from Captain Yan.
"Go to the ship of Captain Thousand .." Captain Yan beckoned to the crew who were still rescuing the ship, don't save it, don't save it, let's go.
When the crew heard the order, they were either sad or able to escape, so they all dropped what they were holding, grabbed the ropes on the ship's board, and climbed over one by one.
A few dozen crew members, including those who fell into the water, sat on a ship of a thousand captains, which was more than enough.
And Captain Yan was the last to take the rope and came to Captain Qian's ship under the anxious eyes of everyone.
From start to finish.
With Captain Yan's order, a meaning of 'leaving' emerged, and they didn't have the appearance of crying to death for their own ships, letting others persuade them, and not leaving.
But if this is the case, Captain Qian is the first to let people abandon the rope and turn around and leave.
This is not ruthlessness, it is the fulfillment of them.
They love their ships so much that they should immerse themselves in the sea.
It's hard to play out a gothic plot like that.
"Cut the rope!"
With the sound of thanks from the ship, Captain Qian ordered the sails to be lifted and chased after the people who had long been unable to see clearly.
And on the other side, five miles away at the storm.
Jiang Cang and the others saw that this place seemed to have entered the center of the storm, and the dark clouds were as if they were around them, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
Only the occasional thunder in the rear faded away, and the sails were stirred by the wind, facing the strong wind, which proved that everyone was still moving forward.
Until the wind stopped, and they walked up another hundred meters, as if breaking through a layer of barrier. ’
The people on the boat looked ahead, and the dark clouds around them were gone, but the sky was as dark as ink, the sky was dark and foggy, and it was drifting and raining heavily.
But Jiang Cang looked at it at night, but saw that three hundred meters away, there was an island that was about five kilometers long, like a giant beast crawling on the surface of the rain curtain sea, surrounded by dark clouds, as in the previous storm scene.
And this island is a 'dense mountain forest', washed by heavy rains.
Occasionally, lightning flashed, and Xiao and the others also saw this scene clearly, in addition to finding the island in front of them, they also saw that this heavy rain seemed to surround the entire island.
Perhaps it was the sea water in the storm location that rolled up and poured into the inside and outside of this 'storm island'.
But I don't know if it's the effect of electrolysis of water or any chemical reaction, but there is no fishy smell in the falling seawater, just like ordinary rain, but it is a bit peculiar.
"It's land." The shadow stood up at this time, looking at the island in front of him in the rain, his clothes were a little strange, and the rain did not invade.
"Land.." Wu Hong is smile, the aura is shocking, driving away the rain and dew, he is best at ground combat, or the sea, as long as it is not in the sea.
At the same time, he also looked at the contemplative owl, pondered for a moment, and was about to say something.
However, the owl took the preemptive action, directly blocked the rain around him, and said to the dragon head, "It's good if it's land, there are no supernatural people who are proficient in the water system among our pioneers, and if they encounter a battle in the water, it will affect their combat power to some extent." ”
Xiao said, looked at the cloud wood sheltering from the rain under the sails, and said to the dragon head who did not shelter from the rain for some reason: "And I always feel a little strange about this island, if there are any creatures on the island, and can grow in such a bad environment, plus this island was still in the depths of the sea before. I believe that there are creatures on the island, they must be very tricky, I hope you master should be careful. ”
"There is an aura in the rain." Jiang Cang turned around and looked at everyone, "Only by running the mental method can you perceive it." It's not much, but don't waste it. ”
"Is that so?" Yun Mu stepped out of the sails, drenched in this ordinary rain, closed his eyes and sensed a little, and there was really an aura contained.
Then Brother Jiang definitely has some way, he can 'see' the aura without running the exercises.
Otherwise, you can't find out so quickly, but these are small things.
Because the realm is high, it can naturally be discovered.
"Twenty breaths of practice time wasted.." Wu Hong shook his head, drenched in the rain generously, and opened his mouth to the sky, even drenching and drinking, which was more realistic.
Jiang Cang ignored them, looking at the island in front of him in the dark rain, to be precise, a huge shadow in the mountains and forests on the island.
"This island is in the deep sea." Jiang Cang glanced at the shadows, and then said to the people who were drenched in the rain: "And this island can grow so many trees, maybe because it is growing wildly under the washing of the spiritual rain. ”
"Only this explanation can work." Xiao nodded, "If it's really an island in the sea, you won't be able to grow trees that can only be found on land in a short period of time. The place is surrounded by storms, and the seabirds and the sea breeze cannot carry the seeds... I always feel a little strange.. Unusual.."
"We'll talk about it later." Jiang Cang set the itinerary.
Everyone did not speak, meditating and recuperating their spirits.
After the last 100 meters, the ship docked.
Jiang Cang and the others got off the boat, docked, and each took out their weapons, and cautiously walked towards the huge shadow in the forest.
Because they were on the ship before, the terrain was high, and there was occasional thunder and lightning, Xiao and the others also saw this strange scene and wanted to see it.
But when everyone walked more than 200 meters and came to the dense forest, it was raining heavily, but they saw that this huge faint was not a ruin, a treasure, or an island creature, but the corpse of a whale with a length of more than 40 meters.
Its body was swollen, rotten, and white under the heavy rain, and trees passed through its corpse, but relatively speaking, there was no bloody scene washed by the rain.
And from this scene, everyone did not guess wrong, Lao Zuo's news is also right, this island is indeed from the island in the deep sea. ’
