Chapter 193: Departure

The next day was the departure time that Rodin and Chin Kov had booked, but fortunately the eight-armed brakes did not damage the port facilities in the slightest, although the eight-armed demons caused serious damage to the inner city, so the ship proceeded as usual. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Packed with bags and bags, they set off for the port, the only thriving place in Sintra today.

Once again, a sum of money was spent bribing the travelers, and the five members of the Wind Brigade and the five children of the orphanage were also transferred to the same ship, and twelve people plus a stallion were able to accompany them.

The Blue Nero was a three-masted medium-sized passenger sailing ship with a blue body of about 20 meters long at the bow and stern, carrying a total of 20 passengers, plus 10 sailors, and almost 30 people on board. Captain Nero was a middle-aged man with a red rosacea, his bronzed skin was unusually rough because of the long blowing river breeze, but he always had a warm smile and was very talkative.

Rodin went on the deck, blowing the moist and cool river breeze, looking out at the endless blue waves, the blue sky like jewels, suddenly felt that the sky and water were colorful, and suddenly opened up, and many complicated matters suppressed in his heart during this time disappeared, so unpleasant.

At the time of parting, Amanda, who came to see her off, was reluctant and said, "Children, listen to your brothers and sisters along the way." After entering the academy in St. Gallen, I worked hard to practice, unite together, and take care of each other! Don't be harsh on yourself in your daily life, and if you don't have enough money, I'll write to you...... It's the first time you go out of the house, don't hold back your heart......" She was like a mother who said goodbye to her children, babbling a thousand words, and gradually the corners of her eyes sparkled, and the five young boys and girls on the deck had red eyes, choked and waved goodbye desperately.

However, after all, they must be separated, and the young eagle can truly spread its wings and soar without the protection of its parents, and sigh at parting, and in the loud and high-pitched bells, Nero the rosacea gives orders majestically and solemnly, raising anchor, hoisting the sails, taking the helm, and paddling.

The sailboat sailed lightly through the water, cleaving the waves and turning its bow out of the harbor, marking the beginning of a month-long journey on the river. Rodin stood on the side of the boat and stretched out his hands to embrace the rough river breeze, whether it was the earth or the royal grace, this was the first time he had taken a boat in the real sense, and he couldn't help but feel pride in his heart, and exhaled, "St. Gallen, I'm here!"

“Veni,Vedi,Veci!”

The sail mast is blown by the wind and flutters violently, the morning sun is just on the left hand side of the fusiform bow, sprinkled with a gentle golden light along the turquoise river, the white clouds and dogs in the blue sky, from time to time there are birds whistling by, the hull occasionally shakes up and down slightly, making a rhythmic sound of "crunching" the river water washing the side of the ship.

Everyone didn't care about his crazy nonsense, and indulged in this beautiful river scenery.

The five boys and girls who had never left home looked left and right in amazement, and had a great time, and after a long time, everyone returned to their rooms.

Due to the size of the Blue Nero, only three bedrooms could be divided into the ship, and the twelve members of the Wind Brigade were crammed into the largest of them. The bedroom environment is quite clean and tidy, and the quilt and bed supplies are new, except for the faint smell of river water. The six bunk beds stand opposite each other, separated by only a corridor in between, with only a thick curtain obscuring the view, leaving little privacy.

Umma, Claire, Eileen, Nanali, and Chanel occupy two half-bunk beds, but the only problem is which of the seven men should sleep in the remaining half-bunks?

If this man is not honest, the woman who is in the same bed with him will inevitably leak the spring light.

"Actually, I can sacrifice my personal reputation, or I'll sleep!"

Chinkov proposed with a serious face, but only Rodin knew his true face of lust, and now he has not recovered from the joy of **** demon knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow, and he still looks like a skin and bones horror.

"No! absolutely not!" the girls did not know him well, and said nothing.

"Why don't I come?!" Lino said shyly, touching his head.

"No ......," the women shook their heads in denial.

Their gaze swept over the seven men, naked as if they were looking at merchandise.

Chinkov, Lino, Chloe, and Rodin are four adult men, and Kenthal, Nesin Vali, and Evans are three boys between Shota and Shotai.

"Well, I said that the three of you didn't take Chanel and Nanali badly, what kind of eyes are they?!

Rodin clutched his head and suggested helplessly.

"No, Brother Rodin, we also sleep separately for men and women in the orphanage, and Sister Amanda will definitely clean us up if she knows that this is such a mess!" Kendall, the handsome blond boy, refused with a flushed face and a righteous word, and the other two teenagers also resisted.

"Naa, what a pure flower bone!" Rodin sighed.

"Or you!" said Erin, Wilde suddenly and teasingly held out her finger to him.

Several adult women looked at each other, their eyebrows and eyes curved, and said in unison, "Rodin, it's decided that it's you!"

The end result was that Rodin slept on the lower bunk, and Nanali slept on the upper bunk, and the little girl, though blushing shyly, was more than happy, after all, he had been in the orphanage and had flown happily with him. For this slender and stunted little girl who is malnourished, normal people will not have any strange thoughts, and everyone will no longer be entangled in this matter.

Because to sail on the river for a month, the issue of food is a top priority. And the most readily available things on the boat are fish, shrimp, crabs and other fresh food. Catch as you go, go down with a big net, and after a while, you will fish out dozens or hundreds of Jiangzhong specialties that are jumping around.

Dahan Croai likes to take advantage of the night when the sailboat is off sailing to the side of the boat to fish, bathed in the moonlight and river breeze, which is very comfortable.

There is no pollution in the Tianzong River, the fish and crab are fat, far higher quality than any water on the earth, and the river water is cooked into a pot, and the fresh fragrance is mouth-watering, and the group is feasting happily, and the belly of the food is round.

In addition, in order to replenish vitamins, experienced sailors have already prepared a variety of canned fruits, and the rich soup has a unique flavor of sweet and sour, which is very popular.

The captain Nero, however, was also cunning, and did not provide cans for free, making a fortune again by peddling them to passengers.

The days on the ship were leisurely and boring, and with the exception of Rodin, a madman who could endure loneliness and practice diligently from morning to night every day, most of the passengers would have some other fun.

For example, fishing with Chloe, chatting, practicing swordsmanship on the deck, playing "playing cards" that I don't know how to take the lead, and listening to Rodin tell the story of "The Demon Ape and Pigman and the Bald Male Priest" before going to bed.

The days passed like flowing water, and one morning Rodin sat on the side of the boat and gazed at the clear water, when suddenly he thought of a method of cultivation -- to deal with a problem that had sprung up in the past few days.

During this time, he had absorbed a considerable number of souls through the Ouroboros pendant - two hundred cannibals, one pure Pygman, petrified monitor lizards, more than a hundred transcendent spirits, and according to the proportion of one-tenth of the pendant's feeding, he had probably received more than 70 soul nourishment. In one fell swoop, the amount of the power of the ancestral dragon has gone from a newcomer who has just entered the bronze rank for more than a month to the level of an ordinary person for two or three years.

Normally, it takes ten to twenty years for a bronze rank force to break through to the silver rank.

This kind of progress is not unfast, but the rapid progress will inevitably produce the disadvantages of a weak foundation, and the facts have also proved that the power of the bloodline fed by the soul is not as mottled as the essence of its own penance, so the control of the power of the ancestral dragon has declined, but it is not as handy as before. The Spirit Beard was too slow to refine the power of the Ancestral Dragon, and even though he spent most of his day on it, it had little effect.

He wants to find a way to refine the mastery method!

Facing the vast blue waves, I suddenly thought of the word "treading water".

"Can I shape the power of the bloodline into flippers to walk on water?"

He can summon his wings to fly without fear of being dropped by a sailboat.

The hull of the ship broke through the waves, and he leaped into the river without anyone noticing.

The cool river instantly submerged him, and a force of ancestral dragon was vigorously transported from the blood, and according to the guidance of the will, a wide duck webbing was outlined near his feet with difficulty. The sailboat quickly left him behind, but he did not slow down, and his heart sank like water.

Whenever the target disappears from sight, it summons its wings and flies near the hull of the ship to try again.

At first, it took him a lot of time to find the right thickness and area of the duck web, more than one day and close to two days, exhausted, his body was slightly swollen from the whiteness of the blisters, and not only was his body hollowed out, but his mind was also consumed, and he was even more tired than fighting with monsters for three hundred rounds.

But he gritted his teeth and persevered!

At first, everyone thought that his abnormality was a symptom of seasickness, and he was quite moved, but he quickly shirked it with his practice.

Two days later, he finally managed to shape the right fins, and he stood up from the river for the first time. There was nothing under his feet except the endless waves, and although his body trembled, swaying left and right with the fluctuations of the current, he did stand still!

However, in just ten seconds, before he could cheer for joy, reality gave him a slap in the face! The thin flippers shattered like a papier-mâché doll, and he fell into the water with a pop, and his mood sank to the bottom.

"Well, why is it still so fragile and scattered when it is washed away by the current, even though it has been put all its heart and soul into keeping the shape of its flippers?"

"If you can't even stand for a long time, let alone walk and run on the river!"

He fell into a bottleneck, tried many times, but still lasted only a minute at most, and in desperation, he even asked Chloe, Uma, Claire, and Linuo.

Several people were dumbfounded when they heard this, and Chloe couldn't help but exclaim, "You are worthy of a cultivation maniac, you can think of such a cultivation method! Shape it into flippers with the power of blood, stand and walk on the surface of the river? I guess I can't even do the first step, right?"

"We can only understand your problem by trying it ourselves. Claire's eyes lit up, but Rodin's inquiry touched a few people.

In the eyes of the sailors of the Blue Nero watching the monkey show, the four powerful men of the Wind Brigade also began to "tread water" like him, but the time was chosen at night when the sailboat was suspended.

Then the rest of the passengers strangely found that every night, there would be some unusually tragic screams and falling water sounds outside the cabin, one after another, and they could not help but shiver in fear and could not sleep at night.

The five boys and girls who knew the inside story couldn't help laughing.

But after all, there is no mental power as a plug-in, and as Chloe guessed, the four of them got stuck in the first step of shaping their fins, and fell into an endless bottleneck, and they had never experienced the training of the power of the bloodline, and their road was very long.

Rodin didn't get the slightest inspiration from them, and he sat quietly and watched a few people stupidly "play in the water", with a blank face.

"Understanding, understanding, experience is enough, where is my understanding?"

He fell into a state of madness in endless crankiness, and liked to sit on the side of the boat and watch the surging river in a daze when he had nothing to do on weekdays, sometimes even sitting for a night.

Occasionally, Nanali, Chanel and a few other companions would come to persuade him worriedly, but he still went his own way.

I don't know how long it took, but a week, two weeks, and the four members of the Wind Brigade were also extraordinary, and finally succeeded in shaping the flippers, and then unsurprisingly became reservoir dogs.

And he saw all the waves rising and falling, the tide rising and shrinking, the sunrise and sunset, and some vague feelings in his heart became clearer and clearer, and finally he had a trace of enlightenment.

"The reason why I can't keep my fins long is because I've been bucking the trend. The river seems to be calm, but in fact there are countless undercurrents, hidden whirlpools under the water's surface, and unpredictable currents, all of which are constantly destroying my flippers. I can't just be still. “

He thought of a novel he had read, in which the master of national art used the vibration of his toes to stand in the river, and the water was no more than his knees.

They are not completely still, their toes are moving, "my fins should also move, go with the flow." ”

If he wants to resist the countless undercurrents in the river, it is impossible for him at this stage.

He began to change his approach and strategy, standing in the river, meditating on the direction of the river, and at the same time slowly moving his flippers, following the current, and following the trend.

Two days, three days, three days without sleep, at a certain moment, he stood in the middle of the turbulent river, looking at the blue sky and clear water, white clouds and dogs, and fish in the river, smiled happily, and stood like this for ten minutes.

Standing longer and longer, and subsequent attempts have made an astonishing discovery, standing in the river is far more difficult than exercise, static is more difficult than moving, when you are still you need to adjust the movement of your fins every moment, and when you exercise, you can naturally adapt to the situation.

"It's sometimes harder to think about a strategy than to put it into action!"

He quickly mastered the key to walking and running on the river, and revealed it to the four members of the Fengse Brigade without reservation.

It's a pity that the progress of the four people is slow and they can't grasp it, so they can only figure it out slowly.

"Treading water" needs to consume the power of the mind to control the bloodline at any time, and the power of the bloodline is also being tempered in the high-speed consumption, and the cultivation effect of the Fa is extraordinary.

Teaching the world, learning the nature, suddenly enlightened.

After successfully completing the practice of "treading water", he came up with other ways to practice by using river water.

How do you maintain a speed in the water that is not inferior to that of the Blue Nero?

The average speed of the sailboat is 8 knots, close to 14.4 kilometers per hour, almost 4 meters per second, which does not seem to be very fast, but the swimming speed of the Olympic champion on the earth is only 2 meters per second.

"Can I try to use the power of the ancestral dragon to shape the surface of the body into a streamlined shape, and add a fish tail and fins?"

"For now, it's better to study the dynamic body shape of the fish in the river first!"

"Practice code name 'swimming fish'"
