Chapter 35: The Gale

Gale is probably the name of a typhoon in this world.

Wang Yue had lived along the coast for several years, and although he did not know much about this kind of climate, he was not unfamiliar with it, so the sudden change in the direction of the wind just now made him think of this section, but he did not want to think that the bow of the ship had been sailing in Huaishui for a long time, and the reaction was faster than him.

Feeling the change in the direction of the wind, Wang Yue looked at the clouds on the horizon again, and if it was the unique cloud phenomenon of the outer circle of the large storm, with his keen perception, he could feel the faint breath of the coastal city in the air, which was undoubtedly sent by the wind from hundreds of miles away.

After a perception and a comprehensive summary of information, the bottom of his heart is an image of a satellite cloud image.

In the sea east of the Five Kingdoms of Huaishang, an incomparably huge cyclone, rotating in a counterclockwise direction, is slowly moving northward.

Their ship was already on the edge of the cyclone.

In coastal areas like these, the wind is southeasterly most of the time, but as soon as a counterclockwise cyclone approaches, the wind direction changes instantaneously.

This is indeed the state of a great storm.

Zhao Chuan has lived in Huaishang for a long time, and he also understands the strong wind here, and when he heard the strong wind coming, he hurriedly responded to the invitation of the bow of the ship, and asked the bow and the crew to find a place to shelter on the river as soon as possible.

"Mr. Gai, the succession of the new monarch of Yongguo is really not smooth, this time the wind is coming, at least four or five days, more than seven or eight days or even half a month, I am afraid that nothing can be carried out normally, and the ceremony must be postponed. ”

"Obviously there is more to the trouble, such strong winds, the wind alone can be a disaster, but they often bring torrential rain. ”

"Among the Huaishang countries, the Yong country is the weakest, and it has a great relationship with this great wind. ”

Wang Yue nodded, and his eagle-like gaze fell on a small village far away.

The people in the small village obviously also found that the sky was wrong, and they shouted in the village and rushed to the village, these people lived on the outskirts of the village, and the houses were mostly mud thatched huts and the like, and the houses had traces of repeated repairs, and it was obvious that their dwellings could not withstand the incoming wind.

When faced with strong winds, they take refuge in the brick and stone houses in the village.

Farmers in the countryside. One by one, they put down their work and began to run to the village.

Later, northeasterly winds began to pick up and clouds approached at the edge of the storm in the distance.

It was the noon when the sun was beginning to show its rays. But in a moment, it was dark.

The bow of the ship loudly instructed the crew of the ship to adjust the sails, and with the help of the gradual wind and downstream, the speed of the ship was greatly accelerated, and soon a river bay with a gentle current, a suitable water depth, and a shore suitable for docking, hurriedly lowered the sails and brought the ship up.

"Boom!" the ship collided with the shore suddenly. Tell some of the guards who accompanied Zhao to stand unsteadily.

The ship's crew was unaffected by this, and walked on the undulating and rocking ship.

Each of them held in his hand a thick rope that connected to the important fixing parts of the front and rear of the boat, and leapt onto the river bank with great skill.

With the strength of more than ten people, the hull of the boat was firmly pressed against the shore, and then seven or eight large trees were found on the river bank, and ropes were tied to them, so as to fix the boat and make the ship and the shore as solid as possible.

After that's done, they get back on board. After cleaning up the ship, the bow of the ship went to the bow of the ship again, and said to Zhao Chuan: "Lord Zhao, Mr. Gai, the strong wind is coming, and there is danger outside the ship, please take shelter in the cabin and wait for the strong wind to pass." ”

Wang Yue and Zhao Cai immediately entered the cabin, and the bow then ordered someone to close the cabin door.

The entire cabin suddenly went dark, except for sporadic light, peeking through the gaps in the hatch that were not tight. People can vaguely see the surrounding scene.

"Cover..."Zhao Chuan was about to speak to Wang Yue, but the ship shook violently.

This is when the strong winds from the outside world become violent, setting off the wind and waves in the river bay.

With this shaking, the wind blew the wind. It poured into the cabin through the cracks in the cabin doors, and although it could not raise a strong wind in the cabin, the air flow surged, causing the cabin to whine like a ghost crying.

The scream was accompanied by the vibration of the cabin door blown by the wind, and it changed direction with the change of wind direction, and suddenly appeared in front of the ship. Turning to the side, behind the ship, it was as if a huge monster was roaring around the ship, pounding the hatches everywhere, trying to rush into the ship in all directions.

Together, the accompanying warriors in the cabin were in a panic, and a warrior suddenly shouted: "There is no need to panic, this is the wind blowing, it is not some demons and monsters, even if there are demons and monsters, you must also ask the sword in the hand of Lord Gere." ”

All the warriors had seen Wang Yue's earth-shattering sword a few days ago, and they all felt that there was such a powerful warrior on the ship, and any demon and ghost would be killed.

However, the gale did not stop with the panic of the people, but blew more and more violently, setting off a bigger wave in the river, and thanks to the fact that the crew had fixed the ship with many ropes very well, the ship only turned from shaking to a large ups and downs.

Rao is like this, but also made the cabin people like standing on the back of the angry ox, standing unstable at all, the bow of the ship has already prepared, holding on to the bulkhead, the rickety command crew took out a lot of ropes, beckoning the soldiers to find a fixed place to tie each other.

Compared with ordinary warriors, those with the strength of a samurai are much better, and the strength of rough operation can be firmly rooted in the ship's plank.

Wang Yue has no influence at all, and in such a situation, he can still move freely.

But as time went on, the wind and waves got stronger.

In less than half an hour, the incomparably thick clouds in the sky piled up, and the whole world was completely plunged into darkness, and a huge amount of rain poured down from the clouds, which was even more severe than the first rainstorm that Wang Yue had encountered in this life.

Large drops of rain fell from the sky and were carried down by the wind, like countless fists made of water pounding on the cabin and the planks of the ship, and splashing into water to gather into stagnant water, but in a moment, the outside of the cabin became like a bathtub, quickly filled with water, and flowed out from the side of the ship.

"The deck of the ship is leaking, and it is leaking into the bottom compartment. ”

In the basement below the cabin, a crew member exclaimed.

The bow's original composure was also a little panicked.

He shouted, "Take basins and buckets and go down, catch water and scoop water." ”

But the situation was clearly more serious than he thought.

Wang Yue sensed that on the deck outside the cabin, there was a crack between the planks and the planks, and for some reason there was a crack that was not wide but long, and a large amount of water was leaking down from the crack.

He didn't have to think about it, he knew that there was a small waterfall below.

It is not enough to simply catch water and scoop water. The leak had to be plugged, otherwise the entire lower half of the boat would gradually be flooded.

Although the wooden ship will not sink, all kinds of daily necessities and goods in the bottom warehouse will be soaked in it.

Once the gale hits, it won't end in a day or two. Without these subsistence supplies, the people on board could not have drowned, but could have starved to death.

"All the samurai on board obeyed orders. Wang Yue shouted: "They all go to the bottom warehouse to help scoop water and carry materials." ”

He asked the bow again, "Is there anything on board that can plug the omission?" ”

"Yes, but if you want to repair it, you have to leave the deck of the boat out of water. It's simply not possible right now. ”

The bow of the ship is a man who has been on the ship for a long time, who knows what the situation is on the outboard now.

Wang Yue sensed the momentum of the wind and rain in the outside world, and said loudly: "How long will it take to repair it?" If it doesn't take long, I can use the power of a warrior to lift out the stagnant water on the deck, and temporarily separate the rain, and if it grows, there is nothing I can do." ”

The bow thought for a moment and said, "It won't take long, it's just tea time, can Mr. Gai last so long?"

"Let's try it first. ”

Got Wang Yue's orders. The bow of the ship immediately went and called for a clay pot from the bottom compartment containing some black gelatinous substance, which the crew placed on a shelf, and then found a torch to light it, and put it underneath and roasted it.

For a moment, the contents of the clay pot gradually showed signs of melting.

Seeing this, the bow of the ship said to Wang Yue: "Mr. Gai, it's almost time to go out." ”

Wang Yue nodded, walked to the door of the cabin, and flicked the door. It took a little effort to push the door open.

In an instant, the outside world wanted to rush in for a long time, and the monster composed of the wind suddenly surged in, and at this time, the boat was lifted by the waves. A crew member standing at the doorway suddenly did not stand still, but was blown down on his back by the incoming wind.

Wang Yue saw that the wind was so violent, and rushed out of the hatch in a hurry, and continued to open a sword wind in front of him and left and right, temporarily forming a cone-shaped barrier. He slashed through the surging air current, causing it to disperse to the left and right, and for a moment the surging wind behind him was extinguished.

"Hurry up, don't ask Mr. Gai to hold on for a long time. ”

Seeing this, the bow hurriedly picked up the jar and rushed out of the hatch first, and the three crew members each followed with a small spoon.

Restoring a ship in a storm can be a dangerous job.

They are all tied with ropes, connected to each other, and the last section is fixed on the ship to ensure safety during repairs.

Seeing that the crew members came out, Wang Yue swept the deck where the crack was located, and violently urged out a sword wind like substance, as if an invisible giant hand was pushing out according to the stagnant water on the deck, and with one blow, the water in the area where the crack was located was almost squeezed out to the outside world, but the water in other areas of the ship's deck flowed over again, and the torrential rain was still pouring rain, so he returned his hand, and the water on the deck accumulated again.

After thinking for a while, Wang Yue said to the bow of the ship: "You follow me closely, within one zhang of me." ”

"No. The bow and the three crew members complied, and hurried into his chamber.

Wang Yue nodded, and then released the sword wind again, this time he continued to release the sword wind above himself, but it was not straight up, but the angle was subtly adjusted, disturbing the air flow, forming a high-speed cyclone with a diameter of about zhang above him.

This cyclone is like a high-speed rotating canopy.

However, if there is an air flow and rain entering, it will be swept into it, and then it will be thrown out, and it is rare that this vortex does not fight against the wind, but only changes the direction of the wind disturbance slightly, so that it merges into it, and helps the cyclone force.

Except for the fact that it was quite difficult to generate a cyclone at first, it was very easy to maintain it later.

"Let's go. Blocking the storm with a cyclone, Wang Yue greeted the bow of the ship, changed the cyclone's movement slightly, and told it to move forward slowly with him, and soon the bow and the three guards reached the crack with him.

He slowly adjusted the strength of his qi to continue to expand the cyclone, but instead of expanding its scope, he only let it spread downward, encircling the top of himself and the inner circle around his body, so that the stagnant water shrouded by the cyclone on the deck of the ship was continuously thrown away by the cyclone.

The bow and several crew members lived in the center of the cyclone with Wang Yue, but there was no wind at all, and it was very calm.

The use of this kind of power is really close to magic power, but this is Wang Yue's current life, and he has seen this use behind the martial arts new world.

The rain, the wind, and the stagnant water were all drained by Wang Yue in a cyclone, and the bow and crew began to repair the ship.

The repair method is simple, directly scoop up the boiled gel in the tank with a spoon, compact and paste it into the gap, plug it, and continue to evenly spread a large piece around the gap, and wait until the gel cools and solidifies, and then it is cemented with the wood of the ship's deck.

In this way, in less than half a cup of tea, the ship's deck was successfully repaired.

"Peng!" At this moment, Wang Yue suddenly heard a loud noise in the distance, obviously not the sound of the wind, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a small boat in the middle of the water, and I don't know what was vigorously colliding with something, and the entire bow of the boat was shattered.

"What's that?"

Wang Yue's eyes were firmly fixed on the bottom of the boat, the wind and waves there were obviously wrong, and there must be some huge living creature underneath. (To be continued.) )
