Chapter 012: The Storm
It's easy to understand: the appetite for such a large sea king is naturally amazing, and you wouldn't think they grew up eating plankton in the sea, right? In this world, only fat people can drink cold water and grow meat, okay?
And they are already at the top of the marine food chain, so naturally there will be no natural predators, and the appetite is amazing, and it is natural for them to fight for food, so gradually the concept of domain is born, like the tigers in the roaring mountains, it is impossible to get together unless it is the mating season.
After the old fur dog said this, everyone's doubts naturally disappeared. He shouted and aimed at the flesh and blood of the two sea kings, and it took him half a day to fill the cargo hold before he would stop.
The appearance of these two sea kings naturally caused losses, but it also made the adventurer earn a lot of money - the royal chef on the ship took local materials and cooked a feast of 100 fish, and while feasting, he could challenge the achievement of "Prisoner of Food" directly reached two-thirds of the progress. And the sea king-type flesh in the cargo hold can also be sold for a lot of money on the next moored island, compared to the damage of the Abyss and the efforts of everyone, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Half a day later, the damaged Abyss set sail again, and after half a day of intense repairs, the hull finally recovered to eight points, but if it encountered another sea king attack, I am afraid it would not be able to hold on. Fortunately, this time, everyone's crow's beak did not come true~~
Two days later, there were less than eighty nautical miles left to the next island, Tuluga, and at the speed of the Abyss, that is, a few hours' journey.
It was the afternoon, the sun was just right, the breeze was coming, the water was not rippling, and the sea was sparkling.
But soon, the storm came. The sky darkened, as if night had fallen early. Lightning flickering in the dark clouds flickered on and off like a light bulb with unstable voltage. There was a faint thunder in the clouds, as if the sea god was roaring.
The waves raised by the hurricane were tens of meters high, and they were pushed over layer by layer, like high-rise buildings that could move, and they were smashed down to the sky.
If you want to survive the wind and waves, you must move forward against the wind. Only by facing the wind and waves and standing on the cusp of the wind and waves can we laugh and be proud of this unpredictable ocean.
Most of those who are able to survive in such a sea have extraordinary courage and wild character. They are either unruly, or resolute, or bold and open-minded, or fierce and domineering. Only in this way can we bravely advance in the rapids and brave the wind and waves.
Under the command of the old fur seal, the pirates on the ship struggled to rock the oars, and one after another orders were given, the sails were dropped, the swings were swinging, and the helmsman was desperately controlling the balance of the ship, head-on towards the huge waves of the flood peak, and the pirates shouted the trumpet, and the movements were uniform.
Lin Xiao stood on the bow deck, his feet stuck to the surface of the ship as if they were rooted, not moving at all. In front of the majesty of heaven and earth, he neither resisted nor flinched, but just faced, stared, watched, and savored, as if he were looking at a painting, completely unaware that he was in the painting.
"Boss Lin Xiao! It's windy and rough! The boat looks like it's about to run out! "I heard the cries of adventurers.
"Did an appetizer before the official mission stump you?"
"This appetizer is a bit hard and stuck in my throat!"
"Don't worry, the ship won't be destroyed so easily," Lin Xiao said and looked at the sky overhead, "But it looks like we still have to do something to ensure safety." ”
"Do what?"
"Then it depends on what the trouble is." Lin Xiao replied leisurely.
A huge wave hit, grabbing a pirate and throwing him into the ocean. The pirate danced in the air and screamed, miserable and desperate. In this kind of weather, being swept into the sea, the fate is almost doomed.
Lin Xiao didn't raise his head, raised his right hand, and flew over the air with his hook and claw to climb the wall to grab the pirate, and snatched him back from the sea god's hands.
The pirate fell to the ground, looked around in surprise, obviously couldn't figure out why he came back again, and had already been kicked in the ass by the first mate: "Bastard, if you're not dead, hurry up and get to work!" Twelve degrees of corners! ”
Lin Xiao looked at this scene calmly: "Everyone pay attention to protecting the sailors, without enough sailors, the ship's ability to move will be greatly limited." ”
"Got it!"
The Abyss marched bravely through the storms. Fortunately, there is a large amount of flesh ballast cut from the sea kings, and the risk of tipping is greatly reduced when the chassis is stable.
Lin Xiao no longer pays attention to sailing, and leaves professional things to professional people, even if he looks like he is in this vast sea, he may not be better than the professional old pirates.
The storms at sea are still fierce.
For those who have not experienced stormy seas, it is always difficult to imagine how people can protect themselves in the face of the majestic power of heaven and earth. The pirates cursed loudly in bad weather and worked tirelessly to keep the wooden ship from capsizing.
For adventurers who have not yet been able to control nature and whose strength has not yet defied the sky, sea combat is compared to comprehensive strength, compared to water, compared to ships, compared to ship control knowledge, compared to people's understanding and adaptability to nature, compared to the use of weather changes, and compared to various unplanned factors. Many adventurers who were not good at water warfare had slightly pale faces, and their faces were pale as they rose and fell in the storm.
The storm in front of him was like a hurricane whistling in a secret room, low and with a peculiar mezzle, and the wind and waves rose wave after wave, washing over the ship.
Some of the adventurers who were adept at the water looked at the raging storm with excitement in their eyes.
The more sassy ones also opened their shirts, revealing their bronzed chests, opened their arms, and shouted abruptly to the sky: "Let the storm come more violently!" "But it smells of Shawshank redemption
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for a huge tornado to vortex in the center of the ocean, and the spiraling wind column went straight to the sky, connecting the clouds at the top and the sea at the bottom, like a giant standing on the sky, sucking the sea water into the air, pouring out a water cloud canopy, fluttering and sprinkling from the sky, creating a violent storm in the area.
"Oh!" At this moment, even the face of the adventurer of Sao Bao changed.
Although this spectacular scene was shocking, it also made everyone's hearts fall to the bottom, and even Lin Xiao looked at this huge pillar of wind in amazement, wondering what kind of disastrous consequences would be if this tornado rolled towards him.
The pillars of wind were spinning rapidly, whining and whirling across the sea, and lightning slashed down one after another, illuminating the night sky. The sound of the wind in my ears is like the roar of a big truck engine, which shakes people and makes people's minds be greatly tested at this moment.
A hint of despair rose in everyone's heart. Under the power of heaven, the strength of the adventurer is still too weak, and all everyone can do is struggle and try to survive.
The storm was like a storm, everyone was fighting and struggling in it, and I don't know how long later, a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in the sky. The sun broke through the clouds and spilled onto the ground. Although it is only a wisp, it brings infinite vitality. The storm came and went quickly, and the dark clouds in the sky retreated and disappeared, and the sky was bright again. The seaspouts also gradually dissipated, and the sea suddenly calmed down.
The sea, which had been raging and turbulent just a moment ago, now became like a gentle woman in the faint light, and the slight waves crashed against the side of the ship, making only a calm splash.
The people who survived the catastrophe began to cheer wildly again, and then the sharp-eyed adventurer suddenly pointed to a few black dots on the horizon in the distance, and said loudly:
"It's a naval warship!"
At this time, the cue of the master also suddenly sounded:
"Ding: Trigger side quest"
