438 Deep Sea Storm
Although Nolina knew that the young people around her were peeking, she had always dared to love and hate, and since the parting was imminent, she would not see Taxiu for a long time. She didn't want to hide her feelings, so she endured a trace of shame and stepped forward to take Ta Xiu's hand, pretending to be generous and said: "We are back to the fox clan, you have to take good care of yourself in the future, don't be hungry, and don't take risks casually...... Well, that...... See you in half a year. After saying that, our brave instructor Nolina stood on tiptoe and quickly pecked Ta Xiu's mouth, and then flipped back into the carriage amid the laughter of the boys and girls of the fox clan around her, hiding in it and not daring to come out.
The brave female instructor of the fox clan turned out to be shy and timid.
Tassiu walked back in front of Alice, staring deeply into her clear-as-a-spring eyes. It's as if they're doing silent communication.
"I'll marry you. β
"No, you're going to marry Nolina in the future......"
"But I only want you. β
"There are many things that you can't help yourself when you become a beastmaster. As a saint, I can't help myself. β
"I don't want to ......"
"Just help me, help Xiao Ai and the fox clan, okay?"
Ta Xiu was speechless, could it be that he had a desire for a woman for the first time, and his desire to marry Alice as his wife was destined to be unrealizable? What is the status of the holy daughter of the beast clan in the clan? Can she marry someone? Ta Xiu still has no idea, but he will always figure it out and find a way to solve it.
Alice finally returned to the car. Lower the curtain and block Taxiu's view. The two carriages started slowly, and a group of young men and women from the Fox Clan's Tantric Camp followed the carriage closely. Nolina finally couldn't help but pull the window and stare at Taxiu silently, her eyes clouded with tears.
At this time, the window of the saint's car was also opened, revealing Xiao Ai's face full of chicken women and gossip: "Hey, Taxiu! The saint wants me to tell you that you are not allowed to attract bees and butterflies outside, otherwise...... Ouch!" Xiao Ai stuck out her tongue and quickly retracted her little head.
Taxiu couldn't help but laugh.
......
Back in the courtyard, which had become empty, Taxiu felt the silence of no one. Remembering that some time ago, when Tina, Inithia, Cliff, Old Man ErnΓ©, and Dani were all there, the courtyard was full of activity. By the way, how did you forget about Dani. Taxiu patted his head, as if he hadn't seen Dani since the finals of the martial arts tournament.
Walked to the small room where Dani lived, knocked on the door, and there was no response. With a push, the door opened. Everything in the room was neatly arranged, but there was no sign of Dani. This was the first time Taxiu had stepped into Dany's room, and he didn't notice anything special except for a faint girlish scent.
On the table in the room is a clay kettle with a note pressed underneath. A passage was written on it with slender and elegant strokes: "Please forgive me for saying goodbye, Lord Taxiu, I have found news of my enemy, and I have set off." I'm sure we'll meet again when we have the chance. β
The last date on the note was just yesterday. It seems that Dani had left before yesterday's undead incident in Sharman City. Due to yesterday's chaos, the handmaidens of the Serpent Clan were also in chaos, and as a result, no one noticed that Dany had left.
Well, all the people are gone......
The feeling of emptiness in my heart is even stronger, which is the sense of loss brought about by Alice's departure. The same feeling may only be experienced when the dragon girl master leaves. However, at that time, there was still a good brother Xiao Hei with him, and he didn't feel bitter after crazy cultivation every day.
By the way, where did Xiao Hei go? Did he go to steal food alone?
Tasho walked out of Dani's room, blinking at the brightening golden dawn outside. Then he noticed that Cliff and Blackie were walking into the yard with Blanche and Worm.
"Why are you together?" Taxiu just asked, when he saw the excited Cliff put his arm around Xiao Hei's neck and said excitedly, "Boss, Xiao Hei took me out for breakfast early in the morning." The maid in the house is gone, and no one makes breakfast, but ...... Today's meal outside was so cheap, and I met Blanche, who invited her to a free meal. Hey hey ......"
Is this single-celled guy worth being happy like this just for breakfast?
Ta Xiu patted his head and said to Cliff speechlessly: "By the way, I'm going to continue cultivating, what are you going to do?
"No, no! Resolutely, no!" Cliff said with a very firm glare, "I sneaked out this time, and I will definitely be locked up again when I go back." I've thought about it, it's better to be confined at home than to follow Boss Taxiu with you. "After all, the days with Taxiu are much more interesting than staying at home with a dull night, although sometimes the days can seem too thrilling, but there is no doubt that it will help you grow your strength.
"Well, since you've decided, come with me to the experience. Our goal is the five forbidden places on the mainland. β
"Whew! It's so exciting! I knew it would be nice to follow the boss!" Cliff's excited eyes lit up, and he threw his head back and let out a heartless cry. He didn't realize what kind of terrifying existence the forbidden land on the continent was, and if he really knew, he probably wouldn't be so excited.
Taxiu's gaze fell on Blanche. She was wearing the standard school uniform issued in the Wizard Academy today, and a simple mage robe wrapped the girl's delicate figure very concavely, so she didn't dress up deliberately, but she had a fresh and moving taste. Her long hair was coiled behind her head, revealing her fair neck, which looked very clean and neat.
She carried a not too small burden on her shoulders, dressed as if she was going to go far away.
"Blanche, what are you?"
"My teacher and thief, Mr. Saint-Ernest, is in a hurry to return to the Vought Empire because of the undead. Before leaving, the teacher asked me to come to you. Blanche said generously, but the shyness flashed in her eyes.
Taxiu scratched his head, of course he had a duty to Blanche. His eyes came to the worm, he, shouldn't say it was her, after the last battle, he had already found out that she was actually a little girl, but for some reason he always liked to dress up as a little boy. At this time, she was the same as usual, with a cloth bun wrapped around her head, a sleeveless vest and a white pony coat, a wide blue belt wrapped around her waist, and fat bloomers and pointy boots.
Seeing Ta Xiu looking at him, the bored insect with his hands behind his head pouted and said, "Don't look at me like that, it was Master Ernest who asked me to continue cultivating with you." β
"Damn!" Ta Xiu, who had felt a little lonely before, looked at the three people and one beast in front of him, they all blinked at him, and suddenly felt like he was sheltering pets for those old guys. However, having these partners is a good thing.
"Alright, our spearmen mercenary regiment has been resurrected. Ta Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said casually, but as he said this, he suddenly remembered that when the spearmen mercenary group was established, weren't the members of the group at that time just these partners now? It's back again.
Shake your head and put some senseless exclamations aside. Ta Xiu said to a few partners: "Okay, since you have joined, let's prepare." I want to leave the Snake Clan today and go to the Endless Blue Sea, one of the five forbidden places on the mainland. His voice stopped: "By the way, before leaving, I still have to go and say goodbye to the Beast King, and by the way, see if I can find him to borrow a boat to go to sea, by the way, which of you will sail the boat?"
Taxiu's gaze swept over, Xiao Hei blinked innocently with wide eyes, Cliff's head shook like a splashing wave, and Blanche shook her head and smiled helplessly. Finally, the eyes came to the insect and stopped - forget it, this little frustration is even more unlikely to sail.
"Hey, hey, Brother Taxiu, what kind of eyes are you?" The height was only as high as Ta Xiu's chest, and the shortest insect among the four felt the distrust in Ta Xiu's eyes, and couldn't help but jump up and raise his fist in protest: "Don't underestimate me! We snake people are all masters of playing with water!"
"Alright, that's you!" Taxiu nodded with great satisfaction: "Everyone packed up everything they were going to bring and got ready to go." β
Basically, everyone had nothing to bring, except for a few torn clothes from Cliff. Blanche herself had already packed up the baggage, and Taxiu threw important things into the gold belt and storage ring. Easy plus enjoyable. Insects are even simpler, just one person, nothing to bring.
An hour later, Taxiu and his party came to the Snake Clan's palace.
"What? the Beastmaster has left?" Tasho asked, somewhat surprised. Turning around and exchanging glances with Blanche, Cliff, and Worm, it means: How can these peak powerhouses run faster than rabbits one by one! The King of Seals was the first to flash, followed by Douglas Magister and Saint Ernest the Thief, and he didn't even have time to say hello to himself when he ran. Then the Beastmaster also walked silently.
I'm afraid that now the only master in the entire snake clan is Anastasia, right?However, thinking about her indifferent temperament and unfriendliness to herself, Taxiu shuddered and gave up wanting to say goodbye to her.
Originally, I wanted to ask the Beastmaster for some financial or in-kind support, but now it seems that I don't want to think about it. When he arrived at the beach, Ta Xiu counted the gold coins on his body, and spent nearly sixty gold coins to buy a very old dhow from an old snake fisherman.
The boat wasn't too big, and it could accommodate a dozen or so people, which seemed to be enough for Taxiu. The key is that the old man who sold the boat blew his fishing boat into the sky and the earth, if it weren't for the Taxiu they showed very sincerity and gold coins, the old man would never have been willing to part with love.
Finally got rid of the entanglement of the old man who sold the boat, and Taxiu divided the work of several people. Blanche and Worm keep an eye on the fishing boats, while Tashim, Cliff, and Blackie go back to the city to buy some food and fresh water. Originally, Ta Xiu didn't care about this, he used to hunt at will when he was wandering in the wild, and when he was hungry, he would roast some meat and eat it himself, and when he was thirsty, he would take a handful of sweet stream water, and he didn't have to think about food and water at all. Fortunately, the reminder of the insect reminded him of the difference between land and sea.
By the afternoon, everything was finally ready. Taxiu and the others happily rode the evening breeze and sailed out of the sea. Although Ta Xiu can swim, he has been under lakes and waterfalls before, and this is the first time he has experienced sailing to the sea by boat like this, so when he looks at the blue sky around him, the rolling waves with white foam, and the birds flying in the sky, he feels that everything is very new.
Blanche sat on his shoulder, she had been living in the Vought Empire, and she had no experience of wandering independently under the wing of her teacher, and when she saw the sea, she inevitably felt the same novelty as Taxiu.
Except for the bugs that were jumping up and down excitedly, a helmsman and lookout, Cliff had no interest in the sea, and had a seasickness reaction, and lay down in the corner early. Blackie is a little better than Cliff, but apparently doesn't have much interest in the sea, except for the seabirds that circulate and fly, and occasionally hisses, hinting at Taxiu catching a few of them and coming back for a tooth sacrifice.
At this time, Taxiu and the others naturally did not see it, and not long after their boat sailed out of the sea, Miss Sasha's carriage galloped to the seashore. Then Sasha hurried out of it, led by the guards who reported the news, to the beach, and looked at the shadow of the sailboat fading away, her eyes showing strong anger.
After a long time, Miss Sasha flicked the horsewhip fiercely, making a crisp pop in the air, and turned around and said coldly: "Go back!"
If you leave like this, don't you even have a shadow of me left in your heart? Taxiu! We will meet again! I will definitely torture you by all means! Let you know the consequences of offending me!
......
The vast expanse of the sea and the salty sea breeze blowing in front of you give people a different kind of style. The warm sea breeze carries the last heat of the setting sun, like a lover's hand gently caressing the hair.
Lonely sail boat, infinite blue sea, sunset sky, seabirds low back. Everything is poetic.
But no matter how good the scenery is, people will get tired after watching it for a long time. By the time the twilight had fully fallen, Cliff had finally adapted to the bumpiness of the sea. He got up and rushed to Taxiu and said exaggeratedly: "Boss, I'm hungry, let's roast some meat and eat it." β
"Good. Tassiu finished his chat with Blanche, and when he turned around to take out the piece of meat from the package, he paused for a moment, then looked at Cliff and said, "Do you think we can make a fire on the boat and barbecue the meat, aren't you afraid to burn a big hole in the bottom of the boat and feed the sharks together?"
"Khan, yes, what to do?" Cliff was dumbfounded.
"Alas, I should have bought a stove and come back, I forgot. Ta Xiu smiled bitterly and looked at the raw meat in his hand, what should he do now?
Cliff looked at the meat in Taxiu's hand, touched his hungry stomach, and said weakly, "Or...... Let's try eating raw meat, I heard that fish can be eaten raw, and the meat should be about the same, right?"
"If you want to eat raw, try it yourself!" Taxiu casually threw the meat into Cliff's arms.
Blanche couldn't help but laugh on the side: "You can't eat raw meat, it will ruin your stomach." By the way, I've brought some scones made of snake fruit powder, why don't you eat a little bit to cushion your stomach first?"
Hearing Blanche's words, Cliff's eyes lit up, and he casually tossed the raw meat aside and came up. Xiao Hei, who had just woken up, lowered his head and sniffed at the raw meat, since it was cultivated by the tower into the habit of eating cooked food, it had a bad mouth, even if it was not roasted well, it didn't care about it, let alone this piece of raw meat?
Little Black swung his head and effortlessly pushed Cliff aside, then stretched his neck and opened his big mouth to bite off the flatbread that Blanche had just taken out and ate it beautifully.
Watching the fragrant scones stained with little black saliva gradually disappear, Cliff couldn't help but cry and said, "Little Black Boss, you can't do this...... I haven't eaten anything since the afternoon, and I'm dying of hunger. β
Blackie looked up, glanced at him with disdain, and kicked him with his foot, and the mass of raw meat that had been thrown on the ground and no one cared for was kicked back in front of Cliff.
"Poof, haha!" Blanche and Taxiu couldn't help it, and finally burst into laughter when they saw Cliff eating turtles.
"What's going on?" Worm got into the cabin at this moment, touched his little pointed nose and glanced at the crowd suspiciously: "I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Let's start with the good news. Cliff raised his hand.
"Oh, the good news is that I caught some sea fish, and I can eat it as is. As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged at the hatch, licked his tongue and took out a small dagger, and then took out three palm-sized silver sea fish as if by magic, put them on a wooden board and carefully cut them, and soon divided the sea fish into thin and transparent sashimi under the gaze of Taxiu and the others.
"Wow, I'm going to eat! I'm starving!" Cliff pounced on like a starving ghost, grabbed five or six slices, and stuffed them into his mouth. "Well, the fish is delicious, not fishy at all, delicious!" he muttered vaguely, continuing to challenge the fillet. The worm rolled his eyes at him, and continued to cut the rest of the fish as well, otherwise there would not be enough to eat.
Xiao Hei smelled the smell of fish from a distance, sniffed his nose and hesitated. It's obviously not cooked meat, why is Cliff's idiot still eating so happily?
Taxiu didn't grab the little fish meat from Cliff and Worm, and asked curiously while taking the scones handed over by Bu Xingqi: "By the way, Worm, you just said that there is another piece of bad news, what is it?"
"Oh, as far as I can tell, there's going to be a storm coming. Worm said calmly.
There was a sudden silence in the cabin, and Cliff's hand ceased to catch the fish. Even the most nervous ones understand what a storm at sea would be for this broken sailboat.
After a while, Cliff stammered, "Good worm, you didn't mean to scare me, did you?"
"You think I'm so boring?" said the worm, touching the tip of her nose and being unhappy.
Kerry was speechless, and a pair of eyes swept over Taxiu: "Boss, do you have a way if you encounter a storm?"
"Please, I'm not a god. Taxiu smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt a warmth in his hand, and Blanche's hand silently reached over and shook it with him. This is a sign of determination to face it with Taxiu no matter what.
Taxiu smiled slightly, and held Blanche's hand with his backhand, and his originally anxious mood suddenly calmed down.
"That'...... By the way, you have a sand Gu worm, you should be able to take us out of the storm, right?" Cliff glared at Worm with a look of anticipation.
"Cliff, are you an amphibious sand Gu when I am a sand Gu?" the insect patted his forehead with a "you are hopeless" expression. Everyone knows whether sand sinks well when exposed to water.
"Then Blanche, your magic should be able to get us out of danger, right?" Cliff turned to Blanche for help, but Blanche shook his head and smiled wryly. In the face of the power of nature, I am afraid that only the existence of the peak powerhouse can barely fight for a while, and with Blanche's current strength, there is still a long way to go.
In the moments when they were talking, the waves on the sea suddenly became bigger. The sailboat, which had been relatively stable, began to rise and fall with the ups and downs of the waves. Xiao Hei's reaction was the most sensitive, and he bit the rope on the boat: "Quack!"
"Damn, is there really going to be a storm?" Cliff froze for a moment, then jumped up and looked out of the cabin. Under the slightly dark twilight, a large cloud visible to the naked eye was rapidly converging in their direction like flowing ink. An oppressive and dreary atmosphere pervades the heavens and the earth.
The waves on the surface of the sea made an uneasy "whoosh" sound, sometimes high and sometimes low, as if they were struggling in vain.
At this point, anyone can see that the storm is coming.
Cliff's face turned pale all of a sudden, he had been playing with the worm for a long time, but to be honest, he didn't think that the worm was telling the truth in his heart. The sea is so big, how can you be so lucky to encounter a storm as soon as you come out?
But the scene in front of him clearly reminded him that the worm was not joking.
Cliff stared at the distracted eyes, glanced back at the insect sitting cross-legged in the cabin, with his hands on his chest and a calm face, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is there really a storm?"
"It's true. β
"Then how can you be so calm?" Cliff almost burst out.
The insect tilted his face up, and his little nose was raised high: "What can I do if I don't calm down? β
"Ahhhhh
Only Ta Xiu noticed that a trace of panic flashed on the little face that seemed to be calm.
There was already a faint roar outside, the roar of the hurricane's winding waves. The power of any individual is small at this moment.
"For a while, everyone hugged the things around them. If the boat is overturned, grab the wood, hold hands and try not to get separated. "The only thing Taxiu can do is to calmly remind everyone.
The next moment, a hurricane descended.
The manic storm lifted the giant*, and the tiny sailboat was like a fragile toy in the eye of the storm. Tens of meters high waves constantly jump and fall, throwing the sailboat up to the top and then to the bottom.
Huge waves crashed against each other, churning the deep sea into a boiling mess. The black hurricane swirled and grew stronger, reaching the sky and the ground. From afar, it looks like a black dragon soaring in the night sky!
"Roar!"
At this moment, the little sailboat is so helpless and fragile in the hurricane, in the giant *.
And the fate of Taxiu and the others has been closely linked to the sailboat. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
