Chapter 9 The night is high and the waves are high

When it was dark, a storm broke out. The storm came without warning. According to the general sailing experience, when the storm is coming, the sky is cloudy and

The weather can be anomalous, and a slightly experienced navigator can predict the approximate time of the storm's arrival. This time, however, there was no warning, not even

There was no slightly stronger sea breeze, and it seemed to be a blink of an eye, and a hurricane suddenly broke out on the originally calm sea. The wind came unusually fast, as if

The ship that fell from the sky and didn't have time to retract its sails was tilted badly to one side!

Such a drastic change caught people off guard, and the two sailors on the deck, who had no time to catch them, were immediately thrown into the sea and swallowed up by the waves in an instant.

Nian Jiuling and Leng Yue were also staying on the deck, Leng Yue's whole person was thrown and flying, fortunately, Nian Jiuling was extraordinary, and he flew up and grabbed it

pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, and with his other hand he grabbed a rope so that they did not fall under the boat.

Seeing that the ship was about to capsize, fortunately, an experienced sailor made a quick decision and picked up an axe and cut off the mast. The mast snapped with a screeching sound,

The sails collapsed. This trick is tantamount to taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle. To know that in the middle of the sea it is almost impossible to repair the broken mast, losing the sails

With the help of the rocking oar, it may take a year for the ship to return to land, and there is simply not enough provision on board.

But at the moment it was the only option to keep the ship.

After the mast fell, the ship finally avoided the danger of capsizing for the time being, but the hurricane of unknown origin intensified, and the huge waves set off were like those of the devil

The giant palm tossed the ship up and down like a toy, and the hull let out a terrible moan, as if it would be smashed to pieces at any moment. Thankfully, the ship is strong enough

Otherwise, you won't be able to resist for a moment in this kind of wind and waves.

The boat completely lost control, jolted violently, and drifted with the current. In this case, everyone can only stay where they are, holding on to their lives to be stable

The things in your own body, once you let go, will definitely be thrown out.

Nian Jiuling also held the rope and didn't dare to let go, and hugged Leng Yue tightly in his arms. Leng Yue squeezed at his body like an octopus, and shook his face

Buried in his chest, dodging the almost suffocating winds.

However, when she opened her eyes by chance, she suddenly found a plain figure standing straight on the deck of the bow of the ship, with her back to them

, the long light yellow hair was blown by the wind and danced wildly.

It was the woman that Long Wei had rescued. She stood alone on the violently shaking deck, not clinging to anything to stabilize her figure, but like a nail on the deck, she stood there firmly, motionless.

Leng Yue has always felt that her temperament is a strange combination of purity and charm, and now standing at the bow of the boat facing the back of the huge waves, it is almost demonic.

What kind of character is she? Or is she not human at all? ……

Ren Lengyue's heart turned back and forth, but the storm continued. Long Wei was unusually calm at the moment, pushed away the sailor at the helm, personally took the helm, and let the ship end

The amount rises and falls with the waves, not against the waves.

The hurricane pushed the ship and threw it into an unknown world.

Suddenly, the wind stopped and the hurricane's departure was as surprising as its appearance. Before, it was still a huge wave, almost taking the whole ship

Shattered, it was like entering another world in an instant. A lifeless world. The sea was silent, and the ship floated silently.

The people on the boat looked at each other, wondering why the storm had gone so quickly. Everyone should be happy when the storm is gone, but whose face can also see it

Less than joy. Because at this moment, the whole ship was surrounded by a heavy darkness that seemed to have a weight, and the faint light in the bow of the ship was almost absorbed by the darkness. miscellaneous

I can't see anything.

In my ears, there was not a single sound.

A strange thought arose in almost everyone's mind: compared to the current situation, the stormy sea seemed a little more alive and energetic.

It's so lifeless, and it's even more frightening. Floating quietly in the same place by the boat, everyone dared not take a breath, and always felt in the dark

There is an inexplicable danger hidden, as if the slightest sound will wake up the sleeping enemy.

Long Wei sent the order: "Anchor on the spot, take your weapons, and wait for dawn." ”

Nian Jiuling let go of Leng Yue slightly to see if she was injured. It wasn't until it was confirmed that there was not a trace of scarring that he breathed a sigh of relief. A low face was imprinted on her cheeks

kissed and reassured: "Yue'er is not afraid, Ah Jiu is here." ”

She nestled in his arms with peace of mind. She is really not afraid, as long as she is sure that he stays by her side well, her heart is extremely safe.

Everyone, with weapons in their hands, crouched around the ship.

And the woman stood in the bow of the boat from beginning to end. Leng Yue approached and wanted to remind her to sit down and rest, but when she got closer, she saw her face clearly, but was frightened by the look on her face. Her face was pale, her lips were tightly pursed, and her pupils, which were usually very small, were much dilated at this time, staring intently at the empty darkness ahead.

Leng Yue wisely stepped back - let her stand there. Her appearance was as if anyone who touched her would be torn to pieces by her.

……

After dawn, the surroundings were still chaotic. The sight distance is only three or four nautical miles. Is it a little cloudy? No, the sky is gloomy and doesn't look like a cloudy day

It looks more like there is a fog shrouded in the sea, the sun shines through the fog, and the cold light looks up, but you can't find the direction of the sun.

Long Wei looked up, and there was only the quiet sea in his sight, and there were no islands or land. He tried to determine the direction with the help of the compass, but was surprised

It was found that the handle of the spoon used by the compass to indicate the direction was turned to the left and to the right.

Long Wei's face changed slightly. Even the compass is out of order, it's too weird! It is not possible to determine the current position, even if there is a chart left by the captain in hand, it is useless.

Leng Yue, who was standing on the side, remembered the strange things he had seen before, and comforted him: "The failure of the compass indicates that the magnetic field here is abnormal, this is the case

It is not surprising that it exists in many places on Earth! When he said this, he suddenly remembered that Bermuda had swallowed countless ships and was known as the "Devil's Triangle", and he suddenly stopped.

Long Wei was confused. "What is Yue'er talking about? What does magnetic field mean? ”

"It's not interesting!" Leng Yue, who was oppressed by the ominous premonition, said indiscriminately, "That compass must be broken!" ”

Long Wei tried the method of throwing the buoy into the water again to observe the direction of the ocean current. However, it was found that the sea water was basically frozen.

He consulted with several experienced sailors on board and decided to set sail with the help of his many years of sailing experience and the guidance of his intuition.

They sailed slowly, and the men in the bow closely monitored the situation on the water. From time to time, they take long ropes and tie them to measure the depth of the sea. Soon the wait-and-see people sent out

A warning sounds. They found that the sea was densely packed with reefs, some of which were close to the water, and some hideous dark reefs could be observed with the naked eye. The captain broke out in a cold sweat

Drip. He had been sailing for so many years, and he had never encountered such a vast reef sea.

The ship's mast was cut off in the storm, and the ship's advance could only be carried out by artificial rocking. In fact, even if there is a sail, I don't dare to use it. Such a complex reef area

They could only watch and measure cautiously, walking between the reefs inch by inch.

Long Wei recorded the tortuous route in detail. After a long day of hard work, I compared the reef map I drew with the sea chart, and it was very fast

The current orientation was determined. A black dot was marked on the chart of the old sheepskin, and he was surprised to find that it was the same one they had anchored overnight and set sail in the morning

The location, almost exactly the same.

And the black dot on the old chart may refer to the position of the captain and the captain after they entered this sea area many years ago!

What a terrifying force would it be if even the appearance of the storm was under the control of Misty Island? It's unimaginably powerful. Long Wei suppressed his heart

of awe. His gaze on the chart shifted for a moment to a black spiral marker drawn on it.

The spiral mark was so striking and strange that there was no text to mark it, but he decided that it was the destination of their trip—Mi

Kirishima. Why spiral marking? Is it really a huge whirlpool, as the legend says? The whirlpool at sea for ships, waits

In the catastrophe of annihilation.

The more I stared at this spiral pattern, my eyes seemed to be sucked in, and I was slightly dizzy. He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, his gaze falling on the distance

Sea level.

No matter how dangerous the lies ahead, never look back.

Once the orientation has been determined, you can use the help of the old charts to move forward a little faster.

However, at the end of the day, it was only a few nautical miles away. When it got dark, he stopped in place, not daring to move for half a minute. Longwei arranges the ship

The people on it take turns to rest and watch the night.

Fortunately, the night seemed to be calm and nothing happened.

Only a few people with strong ears, such as Nian Jiuling, vaguely heard the slight sound of surfacing and diving in several times from the side of the ship.

During the day, sailors once went down to catch fish for food, but found that they could not catch a single fish. Not only that, but there were no shellfish on those reefs.

Without any breath of life, it was like a dead sea.

If it's not a fish, what is it?

The four words "ghosts in the water" written on the back of the chart by Captain Iron Hook invariably appeared in the minds of several people.

There are people underwater.

The four words "ghosts in the water" written by the captain on the back of the chart invariably appeared in the minds of several people.

Fortunately, those things that are inexplicable are just patrolling around the ship, and have no intention of attacking. So the few people who noticed it were silent

Zhang, so as not to cause panic among others. Just vigilantly tense the strings in my head until dawn.

After cautiously marching in the reef area for more than ten days, in the afternoon, after Long Wei ascended to the heights to look out, he suddenly ordered to stop advancing.

Leng Yue and the others realized that the situation was different, and immediately gathered around Long Wei.

Nian Jiuling asked, "Why did you stop the boat?" Did you see something? ”

Long Wei shook his head solemnly: "No, it's because I haven't seen anything." ”

Everyone looked puzzled.

Long Wei unfolded the chart on the desk, and his finger tapped not far from the black thread. "We're in this position now. It stands to reason that

You should be able to see the Misty Islands ahead. But just now I climbed up and looked, and the sea in front of me was empty, and there was nothing. To be on the safe side, for now

Anchor in place and observe. ”

The sailors were instructed to keep an eye on their surroundings.

However, nothing out of the ordinary has ever occurred.

At the bow of the boat, there was a sudden melodious singing. It was the woman who was singing.

The lyrics are a strange language that I don't understand. The voice was clean, light, and clear, like the sound of an angel's piano coming from the distant clouds, reaching the bottom of my heart, causing inexplicable throbbing. Everyone was intrigued, stopped what they were doing, and listened intently. She sang for a long time, and the song finally lingered

Finish in the middle of the note. Leng Yue felt that she had seen mermaids, so were they about to become food?

As night fell, and the last rays of light disappeared from the sea, the two sailors who had been standing on the side of the ship were suddenly gone

One.

The remaining sailor let out a cry of terror.

"There's someone underwater!"
