Critical at sea
The morning on the sea is poetic, picturesque, dreamy, and illusory. The big ship in the sea lay quietly, and everything seemed so quiet and mysterious. Ke Yan and Ji Huan hung up the sails and went to the bow of the boat to quietly watch this gift of nature.
Now a round of red sun is about to jump out of the horizon magnificently, dyeing the junction of the sea and the sky into a golden light, on the phosphorescent sea, flickering, jumping countless lights, a little mysterious, a little far away, occasionally a breeze blowing, the clear and beautiful light waves, layer by layer, circle by circle, rippling, it is really a beautiful landscape.
It makes people have an infinitely beautiful reverie.
Ji Huan stood quietly at the bow of the boat, letting the sea breeze blow wantonly, blowing his hair and his thoughts. Then he woke up his thoughts.
The boat was bought by Ke Yan at a great price, so there was a lot of food and fresh water in the boat. The ship began to move on the sea, undulating with the waves, towards the center of the unknown sea.
The sea is the most dangerous place, and when she is angry, the waves are so strong that they can swallow up a ship weighing a thousand tons at any moment. When she was quiet, she was rippling again, like a child.
But even on the quietest sea, there will be undercurrents underneath the sea, creating a place of death one by one. So no matter what you can do on land, you have to follow the rules of the sea here. Ke Gong and Ji Huan have no experience in boating, so they don't know what kind of sea area will have undercurrents and what kind of weather will cause violent storms. You can only look for the direction and follow the waves to the Lingyun Continent.
More than ten days have passed since the two of them drifted on the sea, and now they are on the vast sea, not knowing whether they are sailing in the right direction, nor whether the fresh water in the boat can last for a few days. It was as if groping their way forward in the night, surrounded by vastness, and at the junction of sea and sky, they seemed to have sailed out of this world.
Ke Gong and Ji Huan were a little worried, after all, the sea was ruthless, and there was really no chance of survival if an accident happened here.
Ke Gong took the helm, Ji Huan walked to the bow of the ship, and looked ahead, but saw that there was still a vast area ahead, and there was no trace of land at all. Disappointed again. Suddenly, he saw a black patch in front of him flying in his direction, and when he saw it clearly, he realized that it was a black cloud. A storm is coming. It's true: the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.
Ji Huan hurriedly informed Ke Gong and asked him to stay away from this black cloud as much as possible now. Ke Gong heard Ji Huan's notice and hurriedly turned the bow of the boat. But in the end it was too late, and soon the sea was thundering and the wind was raging. Big drops of rain began to fall.
Ke climbed onto the sails and cut the tangled ropes with a knife. He immediately crawled down with Ji Huan. At this time, the ship rose and fell in the storm, and the waves crashed against the boat one after another. There was a torrential rain in the sky, and large raindrops hit the ship, as if determined to sink the ship, and bombarded it violently.
The boat swayed from side to side and could capsize at any moment. Ke Gong and Ji Huan grabbed the rudder of the ship and controlled the direction of the ship. The storm was getting stronger, and the two of them were swaying from side to side on the boat, and they couldn't stand at all.
At this time, Ji Huan called Ke Yan over, handed him two talismans, and said to Ke Yan: "This is a water avoidance talisman, which allows us to move freely in the water for a short time." Ke Yan took the talisman, placed it on his body, and continued to fight the storm.
The ship had fallen apart now, and it seemed only a matter of time before it sank. At this time, Ji Huan suddenly seemed to hear a shout, and the voice was very neat, but at this time, the danger of the storm was far more dangerous than the cry in his ears, so he didn't care, and continued to try his best to keep the boat stable. But in such a big storm, the strength of the two of them is simply insignificant.
At this moment, a large wave suddenly rushed towards them in front of them, and the wave was at least 100 meters high, and the vibration of the huge wave pushed them backwards for a long distance. This is no longer what the ship can bear. So both of them took out the water amulet and prepared to jump ship to escape.
Suddenly, when the huge waves came, they were blocked by a behemoth, so that the monstrous waves did not directly slap on this "small boat", Ke Yan and Ji Huan took a closer look at this behemoth, only to find that this was a sky whale, a hundred meters tall, and he was in front of the big boat. But if you look closely, the whale is covered in wounds, and a trail of blood appears in front of them.
And following the direction of the whale, Ji Huan and Ke Yan saw two big ships, saying that they were boats, but they were not so big that they were not in danger of being overturned in this monstrous wave.
When the raft approached, Ji Huan found that on the raft were nearly 100 white-skinned troops, and the battle columns were neat, and at first glance they were troops with many years of experience in life and death battles.
The white-skinned commander on the raft also saw Ke Yan's big ship, perhaps to him, the ship was like it was already in a bag, so he glanced at the ship and ordered dozens of white-skinned warriors to board the ship and grab it. He continued to chase whales.
Ke Yan also saw the white-skinned leader on the raft, and the two looked at each other, and the boat and the raft passed by. And the dozens of white-skinned warriors received the order and immediately boarded the ship. Ji Huan and Ke Yan knew that a big battle was inevitable, so they took up arms and prepared to fight.
The first white-skinned warrior to board the ship was also surprised to see that there were only two people who "greeted" him, but the situation did not allow him to think about it, so he immediately raised his axe and slashed at Ke Yan.
Then the second and third white-skinned people also boarded the boat, and when they saw their partner lying on the ground, they became angry, raised their weapons and killed Ke Yan and Ji Huan, who raised their weapons to resist. At this time, the other white-skinned people also boarded the ship and immediately joined the battle.
Ji Huan and Ke Yan now have the experience of fighting with the white-skinned clan, and know that although their strength is huge, their combat skills are insufficient, and some tricky one-hit lethal means are not available, so this time fighting with the white-skinned clan seems to be easy, and in a short time, Ke Yan and Ji Huan killed these dozen white-skinned warriors.
After that, Ke Yan glanced back in the direction of the raft, which had been submerged in heavy rain, and only an afterimage could be seen. Ji Huan and Ke Yan didn't know why these white-skinned clans were chasing and killing Sky Whales, but they both knew that this race would be a disaster for the Zhongzhou Continent.
The rain is not as heavy as it was just now, and the waves have not appeared 100 meters high. It seems that this disaster can be avoided. After about half an hour, the rain stopped. The sun was shining, looking up, a transparent blue sky, like a silk handkerchief, and some fine and white clouds stayed in the blue sky, like flowers embroidered on silk handkerchiefs.
It seems that the storm just now is just a fantasy of the two of them, how can there be a storm in such a beautiful sky. How could there be a crisis, but both of them knew that the danger just now was real, and the wound on their hands proved that there was a battle just now.
The ship continued to sail forward, and it seemed that it was just a small episode in the voyage, but neither of them knew whether the unknown journey was still in danger just now.
