The wind rose, and inky black clouds followed the footsteps of the wind, filling the entire sky. It was dark, and it was still seven or eight o'clock in the morning, but because the sun was obscured, it became dim at six or seven o'clock in the evening. As the clouds in the sky became more and more dense, a sullen atmosphere weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, and the hearts of everyone in the fleet couldn't help but sink.

"This cloud is not very good!" Xia Di raised his head and looked at the sky, and the feeling in his heart was even worse.

At this time, the busy people on the ship had just activated the Yuan Qi Circle on the ship, connecting the three large ships in a triangular shape, and the huge waves roared and rolled. Under the agitation of the strong wind, one wave after another jumped high and rushed up to a height of seven or eight feet, turning into countless beads of water and smashing down their heads and faces, drenching the people who were still working on the board of the ship with a strong wind. The wind swept the waves like a pair of big hands tossing the ships on the sea. Although the ships were linked together and had better stability, the waves could not sink it to such a degree. But there are a lot of people on the ship who can't stand it, even if many of them are so-called acquired warriors, and they have a strong ability to resist the dizziness and flipping of the sea. But no matter how strong this resistance is, it can only cope with ordinary waves. In the face of this almost earth-shaking change, even a person like Li Jingxuan who has entered the Qi Cultivation Realm is a little unbearable, let alone others.

"How big is this storm, and how long will it last?" asked Li Jingxuan with a bitter face. The constant shaking made his stomach flutter like a river and a sea. Although he hadn't opened his mouth to spit it out yet, the discomfort in his stomach still made him sad and didn't want to speak.

"How big is it? Do you see the clouds over there? The clouds are sagging in the shape of a funnel, and it looks like a dragon is about to hang. Standing beside Li Jingxuan was Xie Liuyun, the captain of the Zhongyuan, who pointed to the vague cloud pillar in the distance to the east and said, "Don't look at the wind and waves now, in fact, this is just an appetizing dessert for this storm." More amazing storms are yet to come. The storms haven't started yet, and if you want me to say when they'll end, I don't know. ”

"Really?" Li Jingxuan said softly, and lowered his head with a white face. At this moment, the discomfort in my stomach became more and more severe.

At this time, a loud cry came from afar: "Boss, the ships are all connected." ”

"Everything is finished?" Xie Liuyun's thick eyebrows suddenly raised upward: "Pass my order, except for the necessary personnel on duty, all the people on the deck will enter the cabin for me, find something to tie up, and fix it there!"

"Yes!" Xie Liuyun's voice sounded in the sky like thunder, and the people in the distance immediately heard it.

"Is it necessary?" Listening to Xie Liuyun's order, Li Jingxuan asked him puzzled.

"The wind and waves will continue to be strong. If you don't want to be hit by the wind and waves, or if you bump into something bad in the cabin, you'd better do what I say. Xie Liuyun said: "This is a suggestion. If you don't do what I say, I'm fine! But I won't be responsible for the consequences of this. ”

"Ah, I see!" Li Jingxuan nodded clearly.

He knew that these were all Xie Liuyun's experiences. At that moment, he returned to his cabin according to Xie Liuyun's instructions.

At this time, Tang He was already in the cabin. He obeyed Xie Liuyun's instructions, and although he didn't really tie himself with ropes, he also tied a few ropes to the hook in the cabin and used them to pull his body. That's like the bus handle Li Jingxuan saw in his previous life.

"You're back!" Tang He saw Li Jingxuan coming back, and immediately greeted him, and told him at the same time: "I have already tied the rope for you with the buckle over there, you just need to buckle it hard." ”

"Well, I see. Thank you!" Li Jingxuan sincerely thanked Tang He.

However, he thanked and thanked, but he didn't directly use the pull ring or anything like Tang He. Instead, he walked to the middle of the cabin, looked for a slightly more spacious place, and just half-squatted up and took up his horse's steps.

"What are you ......" Tang He was a little surprised by Li Jingxuan's behavior.

"Now the cabin is shaking badly, but not to the point of madness. I think I can hold on a little bit, so I'll take the time to train! I think my strength will improve somewhat. Li Jingxuan replied with a smile.

"Training, horse step, this is a very basic thing, you are now in the qi induction period, even if you have entered the innate stage, how can you still practice such a basic?" Tang He asked puzzled.

"The more basic it is, the more useful it is. If you practice for a while, you will be used for a while, and you will be idle now anyway. Li Jingxuan didn't care about this.

"Cultivator Maniac...... It's really always the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. Tang He shook his head gently, but he let go of the hand holding the rope, got down from the bulkhead, walked to Li Jingxuan's side, and tied up his horse like him.

"Why can't you ......?" Looking at Tang He's actions, Li Jingxuan was a little strange.

"You've worked so hard, I can't be left behind. I don't want to be seen as a slacker. Tang He replied with a smile.

"Okay!" Li Jingxuan stopped talking at the moment, just closed his eyes and did what he had to do.

Time passed in the silent cultivation of the two. Because they have to control their bodies to fight against the rocking ship anytime and anywhere, both of them are dedicated to it. For a while, it didn't seem boring.

By this time, the sea was already boiling. Since the wind and clouds gathered, the waves rolled and surged, and the lightning and thunder also joined in. Lightning tore at the dark clouds and slashed them apart. But under the howling wind, these dark clouds gathered again, rushing and roaring over the sea, black and oppressive, which made people shudder.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt rang out. Where the thunder erupted, a round, sun-like thing, emitting a dazzling blue light, fell from the sky to the earth.

At this moment, between the cracks of the dark clouds, the show of strength shone proudly, and from a distance it looked like a horde of terrible black demons, dressed in golden velvet clothes, wielding shining swords made of gold, and letting out a terrible roar. Their loud curses and threats were as vast as the ocean, like raging waves, and they continued to gallop into the distance, making a loud noise like a mountain suddenly cracking and falling to the ground, smashing the earth to pieces, and then flying with it towards the boundless sky, turning into a rain of stones. Therefore the sound was like the roar of the sky as it shattered into pieces and fell from the inky firmament...... That's how the clouds are ringing.

"What a group of demons are dancing!" Xia Di sighed. He glanced out the window and shook his head slightly, but then shifted his gaze back to the scroll in his hand. Xia Di is a disciple of Confucianism, and for him, reading books is also practice.

In the cabin, the candles flickered, and the light flickered on and off, dazzling, but this did not affect Xia Di's reading in the slightest. He still gently turned the pages and opened a new one to read. It can be seen that at this time he is completely immersed in the book, but he is not affected by the world outside the window in the slightest.

As time passed, the world outside the window became more chaotic.

The rain was falling. The white and bright raindrops fell on the deck of the ship, and many small droplets of water splashed with beeps. The water droplets have a strong fishy smell in them, which is faintly disgusting.

At this point, there weren't many people standing on the deck. Except for a few sturdy men who were tied with ropes to the top of the mast and looked out into the darkness to look at the light in the distance, everyone, including the captain and helmsman, hid in the cabin. They looked out at the world through the crystal window on the side of the cabin, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the ship.

Outside the window, the wind, clouds, rain, and waves are mixed together, connected together, and they are all black and cold horizontally and vertically. Everything is wrapped in it, and it is impossible to distinguish which is the sky, which is the sea, and which is the clouds. Everyone on the boat only felt that there was chaos in all directions, and all kinds of messy sounds sounded and confused.

"......Whew" another gust of wind whistled past, the inclined rain channel, pulling the sky and the bottom of the fall, I can't see one by one, just a piece, a burst, like countless arrows shot from the ground, and like thousands of waterfalls falling from the sky.

In just a few quarters of an hour, the heavens and the earth were completely stirred into chaos, the water in the air fell down, and the water on the ground flowed everywhere, becoming a gray and dim, sometimes white and bright, a water world.

"It seems that the climax of the storm is coming soon. The wind is about seven now. In the cabin at the highest point of the Zhongyuan building, Xie Liuyun looked at the situation outside the window while estimating and calculating the countermeasures in front of him. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly lowered his head and shouted at the brass pipe that transmitted the sound: "There is a cross wave coming, and the steering wheel is 45 minutes to the right, and the bow of the ship meets the waves." ”

"No!" the helmsman replied loudly, and he quickly fiddled with the rudder in his hand to adjust the direction of the ship.

The surging waves crashed violently against the hull, and the undulating waves shook the hull of the ship. However, these are all small winds and waves, and with the sturdy structure of the ship itself, such winds and waves cannot affect it at all. Although the ghost cry of the waves crashing into the gaps in the bulkhead is terrifying, it is only terrifying to hear. As long as it doesn't meet the huge waves that form a white line, there is no problem at all.

As for what to do in the event of a huge wave, it is entirely up to the captain's judgment and the control of the helmsman.

When the waves come sideways, if the ship does not rush head-on, the narrow hull of the ship is afraid that it will be broken by the waves like sugar cane. This is true even for a large ship like the Zhongyuan, which does not have an excessively long aspect ratio.

However, under Xie Liuyun's command and the cooperation of the helmsman, the cross wave finally passed. As the waves passed, the people on board, the sailors, quickly began to move.

They had to go down to the bottom of the cabin and be responsible for draining the seawater that had penetrated into the cabin through the gaps in the bulkheads. This is unavoidable, no matter how good the sealing performance of the ship is, some leakage will inevitably occur under such a storm. When the waves come, the most important thing is to save yourself. But when the waves pass, these things that should be done must also be on the agenda.

"Ten sailors go to the deck, twelve sailors go to the bilge, fifteen sailors go to the pumps......! I don't know when the next wave will come, and everyone has to move a little faster. The ship's first mate then gave the order.

Although the captain and helmsman worked together to ensure that the boat did not suffer any damage from the impact of the cross waves, accidents were inevitable. As a precautionary measure, it is feared that the "thousand-mile embankment will be destroyed in an anthill", and after the cross waves have passed, it is necessary for the appropriate person to inspect the vital points of the ship.

It's not a good idea to walk on a slippery deck in a storm, to wander through a water-seeping cabin, and to do all this delicate work. But for the sake of their own lives and the lives of others, everyone had no choice but to do so.

Ships are relatively enclosed spaces, and after living in such a space for a while, people on board already have "We are one." "Thoughts.

The commanding man gave a loud order, and the busy sailors did their own thing, each in place, each performing his duty, and in the storm, everyone was trying to save the ship.

However, the leak happened to rain overnight.

While everyone was battling the storm, a soaking sailor broke into the cabin of the building on top of the ship.

"Thank you...... Lord Xie, no, I found a green demonic cloud in the sky ahead, and they were only less than three miles away from us. The sailor stammered shocking news.

"What?" Xie Liuyun stood up in surprise as he sat in the captain's seat, and he hurriedly asked the comer: "How big is that demonic cloud?"

"It's three miles square......," said the sailor, nervously.

"Sanli, I'm not afraid there are hundreds of krakens here!" Xie Liuyun frowned tightly: "It's actually coming at this time...... It seems that these krakens are the culprits of this storm. Pass my orders, ring the alarm bell, and prepare for battle!" Xie Liuyun ordered loudly.

"Yes, sir!" said the sailor, who quickly went out.

After a while, the alarm bell rang out, and a red lantern etched with the Yuan Qi Circle was also lifted high and hung on the ship's mast. The people in the fleet suddenly got busy, and the worshippers who had been staying in the cabin also arrived at the command towers of their respective ships. And the sailors who were really in charge of the battle also arrived at their respective gun positions in the dense sound of alarm bells.

As the largest and most sturdy heavy sea ship in Qianguo, the Zhongyuan and its kind not only have a huge loading capacity, but also have a strong self-defense capability.

When the bell of warning was sounded, this hideous fortress of war revealed its hideous minions in the storm.
