Chapter 121: The Flying Dutchman
That's amazing... A ship!
The two are not too far apart, but the sky is too gloomy, and the view blocked by the rain makes him see a little unrealistic.
At this time, the waves hit, Ye Xuan suppressed the curiosity in his heart and hurriedly dived into the water. Wait until the waves have passed, and quickly surface the sea. Wiping the rain around his eyes, he was finally able to determine that it was indeed a boat. Although I can't see exactly what kind of ship it is, if I can meet the ship at this moment, it means that I have the hope of being rescued.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you seen it, there is a boat in front of me!" Ye Xuan was very excited, and at the same time adjusted the angle, letting the waves carry him, and gradually approached the boat.
He didn't expect to encounter a ship in a raging storm.
In such a turbulent storm, people's physical strength will be consumed at an exaggerated rate. Even if Ye Xuan's four-dimensional attribute had reached ten points now, he felt that his body was starting to weaken at this moment. It is no exaggeration to say that if the wind and waves continue to maintain this intensity for half an hour, he will completely lose his strength and eventually suffocate to death in the waves.
Therefore, the appearance of this boat was too timely, and in his eyes, it was like a light that suddenly appeared in the boundless darkness.
It's just that in addition to the excitement, Ye Xuan still has a trace of doubt in his heart, in this kind of stormy weather, there are still ships that choose to sail at sea. Because this rainstorm is not just coming, but has been brewing since last night, and it is not far from Fiji, even ships that are sailing long distances will find a port to dock.
But the direction of this ship, which is obviously opposite to Fiji, seems to be sailing towards the depths of the sea.
But soon, he put aside this suspicion, because if the ship did not sail against the storm, he would have no chance of being rescued.
The audience in the live broadcast room also saw the ship at this moment, and they were crazy about barrage.
"The patriarch's luck is simply no one. ”
"Damn, there are still boats going to sea in this weather. ”
"It's too vague to see what the ship is. ”
"666, Pippi Shrimp. ”
"Well, the raft still didn't survive the next day. ”
"Well, the captain seems to be very irritable. ”
"Meng Xinqiu, where is the anchor?"
"Don't talk, learn and watch well. ”
The waves pushed Ye Xuan forward, and after ten minutes, the distance between him and the ship was only two or three hundred meters.
Only then did he completely see the appearance of the ship, and at the same time, a chill ran down his spine and rushed to his brain, and his whole body stood on end.
What kind of ship is this...... The dark and tattered wooden hull, the broken sails, and the retro shape all make people feel weird. But such a ship is not afraid of the turbulent and violent wind and waves, riding the wind and waves all the way, the sword-like collision horns, cutting through the huge waves, and going against the wind.
"Fake, what the hell is this? Ye Xuan floated on the water, looked ahead in a daze, and muttered softly.
You know, after the beginning of the steam age, wooden boats have been gradually phased out. Today, the ships on the sea have long been replaced by steel ships, and small wooden boats may still exist, but they only exist in inland lakes and rivers. The ship in front of him was a wooden boat, and it was still very large, forty or fifty meters long.
Diving again to avoid a wave, Ye Xuan was getting closer and closer to the ship, and at the same time, he could observe more clearly.
The ship is black and seems to have been in the sea for many years, and the hull is surrounded by dense shellfish and algae. The hull of the ship was rotting badly, and it looked as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind, but at this moment, it was facing strong winds and waves, and it did not look like it was about to fall apart. On the three tall masts, white sails are hung with red dye, but the sails are so badly damaged that it is impossible to see what the pattern is.
In a trance, Ye Xuan had the illusion of returning to the Middle Ages.
The whole ship was dead silent, there was no light, no human figure could be seen, and it sailed quietly, exuding a strong smell of decay.
"Shhh
At this time, although it was raining heavily and the temperature was still about 30 degrees, Ye Xuan felt cold all over his body, and bursts of chills kept rising, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Think about it, dark clouds, storms, rough seas, an old and decaying black ship, sailing silently.
It's so weird!
Not only Ye Xuan felt so, but the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but get goosebumps at this moment.
", scare Lao Tzu in the middle of the night. ”
"The style of painting has changed abruptly, what a weird ship. ”
"Honestly, this ship does look a little scary. ”
"Ghost ship! The cliff is a ghost ship!"
"I have a foreboding feeling that the patriarch should not come on board. ”
"Flying Dutchman?"
"Obediently, it's really TM exciting, it's not in vain that I stayed up all night watching the live broadcast. ”
"If you don't blow it up, you won't be black, just this episode of the show, all the anchors will be blown up. ”
Ye Xuan didn't have the heart to watch the barrage at the moment, but his thoughts coincided with some viewers.
Ghost Ship!
From the moment when humans were not satisfied with the land and began to conquer the sea, the story of the ghost ship gradually began to appear. To this day, legends of ghost ships still circulate among sailors and coastal areas all over the world.
To be honest, ghost ships do exist, and there are hundreds of unmanned abandoned ships floating in the vast ocean, and as for the ghost ships that have supernatural events like in movies or novels, they have not yet been confirmed. Moreover, Ye Xuan himself is an atheist, and he doesn't believe in so-called ghosts and ghosts at all.
Speaking of ghost ships, the most famous is the Flying Dutchman. The story of the ship has been passed down for centuries and has even been referenced in various films, novels, musicals and games. In particular, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" made many people know about this legendary ghost ship.
The current appearance and style of this ship are extremely similar to the ships of medieval Europe, which makes Ye Xuan can't help but think of the flying Dutchman.
"According to statistics, there are hundreds of abandoned ships floating in the oceans today. It's just..."Ye Xuan frowned, paused, and continued: "It's just that those abandoned ships are almost all products of modern times. The ship in front of me looks very old, at least hundreds of years old. Moreover, the hull of the ship is so broken that it can still sail in the storm, to be honest, it is really weird. ”
"I need to make sure there's no one on this ship. ”
After saying that, he braved the waves, tried to keep his head on the water, and kept shouting at the boat in front of him.
At a distance of more than two hundred meters, Ye Xuan was sure that if there was someone on the boat, he would definitely be able to hear his shouts. But a few minutes passed, and his throat was hurting, and there was still no movement on the ship.
There really was no one on board!
"Bang!"
Just when he was out of his mind, a wave came, and he couldn't dodge it, and he was hit fiercely.
This shot was very strong, with huge power, and directly slapped him into the sea, his head was dizzy, and his eyes were black for a while.
