Chapter 415: Old Wolf and Auntie
I did panic a little at the time, but I quickly calmed down.
Since I was a child, Master has told me that no matter what kind of predicament you are in, don't give up hope easily, sometimes you think you are going to despair, but in fact hope is all around you.
I controlled my strength and slowly swam up, quickly scanning my surroundings.
In addition to the endless sea water, the only thing that appeared in sight at this time was those blue leather tubes.
I swept my eyelids and quickly looked down at me, where the stone man's corpse was slowly sinking at an even speed.
At that moment, I suddenly understood what those inflatable skins were for, the body density of the stone man was quite large, it was difficult for it to float to the surface by its own strength, and those skins were to provide it with buoyancy.
Thinking of this, I immediately put my mouth on the barrel of the gun, reached out with a hand, and brought seven or eight leather tubes over, and then I cut off the leather pipes, and grabbed them and floated towards the water.
The buoyancy provided by seven or eight skins at the same time was quite large, and as I ascended, I could clearly feel the water running down my back and arms.
Soon, I followed them to the surface less than five meters above the water.
In the process of ascending, I had put away the blade of the gun and handed it to my right hand.
The last distance of more than four meters was still for me to swim up with my hands and feet, and this distance alone almost consumed all the breath in my body.
As soon as I came out of the water, it was really the feeling of pulling out the clouds and seeing the sun, I couldn't hold it anymore, and I changed the air several times, and finally let my lungs relax.
At this time, the sea had returned to calm, and the sound of me breaking through the water reached the boat, Lu Shengcai and Yunshang quickly ran to the stern of the boat to look at me, and then they drove the lifeboat to rescue me back on the sailboat.
When I got on the boat, I was pulled up by Fiser and Lilith on a rope, and I was almost out of strength like a dead dog overboard.
As I lay on the deck, Fiseu immediately leaned down, opened my eyelids with his fingers, and pulled out a flashlight to see if my eyes were still responding to the light.
I quickly waved my hand to push him away.
I wanted to shout "You get up!" But after a few rounds of tossing in the sea, I really don't have any more energy to do at this point.
In an extremely complicated tone, Fiser asked me, "You drove the water away?" ”
I didn't want to speak, so I just closed my eyes and let my strength recover quickly.
Here I have to thank Gu Jianping, if it weren't for his five-bird guidance technique, it is estimated that this trip into the water, my life would have to be directly explained.
It was also thanks to his five-bird guide that I was able to recover quickly from my last serious injury.
I don't know how long I lay on the deck like this, until I was almost regained my strength, and then I sat up on the deck and let out a long breath.
Yunshang immediately handed over hot water, and I took a few sips, feeling that my body was basically warm, and then I stood up with Lu Shengcai's support.
Fiser leaned over again and asked, "You drove the contents of the water away?" ”
I nodded and responded, "Kill it." ”
As I was talking, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, how did Fiseu know that there was something in the water, and he supposedly only saw the skin that I had lifted out of the water.
It's just a bunch of skins, what is there to "drive away"?
I frowned: "How do you know there's something in the water." ”
Fesser sighed: "As soon as I saw the skin bag you raised, I felt that my eyes, and when I looked back and thought about it, I remembered that it was the skin shed by the kraken, so many skin bags appeared at the same time, it means that the kraken must be attached to the bottom of our ship, and looking at the size of the skin bag, that kraken is very likely to be a mother, like this kraken, it will only appear in the black sea." ”
So, what I just encountered under the water did come out of the Black Sea?
Lilith brought me a dry blanket and draped it over my back, and I remembered that I was soaking wet from top to bottom, and I didn't want to get wet, because I was at risk of catching a cold.
We're mortals after all, not like freaks like Feser and Lilith.
Then I went back to the cabin to warm up, and I had to bring two more clean clothes with me, which I now have to replace.
For the next two days or so, we have been drifting in the uncharted seas, and the road has been relatively calm, except for the wind and rain and the rough waves, and we have not encountered other tricky situations.
The only trouble is that the hatch was swept away by the wind before, without the barrier of this door, the rain outside always pours into the cabin, Lu Shengcai and I stared at the hatch in two shifts, as long as there was too much water coming in, we hurriedly found something to block the door hole.
This door is the only way to get into the cabin, and you can't keep it barricad, and sometimes Feser and Lilith have to come in for a meal or something.
By the way, in the past two days, we have been completely acquainted with Faser and Lilith, and Lu Shengcai felt that the names of the two of them were tongue-twisting, so he simply gave them nicknames, Fiser called "Kill His Ball", and Lilith called "Old Woman", given that he once gave me the nickname "Big Head", so I seriously suspect that his nickname is quite problematic in terms of aesthetics.
Look at the nickname I gave him, Dog Leftover, how catchy and down-to-earth.
In view of Lu Shengcai's nickname being too harsh, I combined it with Yun Xiang, and in the future, I will call Fiser "Old Wolf", because his surname is "Wufu", which translates into Chinese as wolf, and Lilith will be affectionately called "Auntie" by us in the future.
At first, Lilith didn't like the title, thinking that we called her old, but I told her that we were treating her as an elder and respecting her, so she happily accepted it.
From now on, there will no longer be necromancer Fiser and the enchantress Lilith in our team, but instead there will be an old wolf with a stinky face all day long, and an aunt who has lived thousands of years and still struggles to pretend to be tender and never tire of it.
Saying this, I suddenly felt that the two of them were much more likable.
Two days later, on the morning when Lu Shengcai was guarding the hatch and I was sleeping in a chair, I was suddenly awakened by a howl outside the cabin.
I immediately jumped up from my chair, reached to my waist with my right hand, and reached near the team with my left hand, ready to draw the barrel and head of the gun at any time, and Lu Shengcai also stared at the door with a nervous face.
In the sound of the pouring rain hitting the plank, I faintly heard the sound of hurried footsteps, which became clearer and clearer from far and near.
After carefully distinguishing it for a while, it was determined that it was an old wolf running on the boat.
Not long after, he appeared at the door of the cabin and shouted at us at the top of his voice: "Yes, yes, the course is right!" We walked around the uncharted waters and got back on the right course. ”
His voice was completely hoarse because of his overexcitement, and as soon as I heard this movement, I came back to my senses, and the howl just now also came out of his mouth.
Alas, a false alarm.
