Chapter 158: Sudden Storm

Another dawn came, and the sound of a seagull woke up the two men on deck.

Ye Yuechen moved his body and struggled to get up, because he had drunk too much wine, he still felt dizzy now. So with all his strength, he threw the flask in his hand into the sea.

It was only then that he realized that there was a white expanse in front of him, and it was not at all the sunny and crisp scene of the previous day.

"What's going on?" Wang Tianhao also touched his head and got up, he held on to the railing and looked at the sea, but because of the influence of the fog, the visibility was very low, and even the top of the ship's mast was no longer visible.

"Did the boat stop?" Ye Yuechen seemed to feel something strange, because when the ship was moving before, he could clearly hear the sound of the hull breaking through the water, but now it was surprisingly quiet, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

At this moment, Blackboy slowly walked out of the cabin, and the two hurriedly asked what was going on.

"I only found out about this in the early hours of this morning, and now that we're far from the coast, I don't know where it is, it's a very strange white fog, and with such low visibility, I can only set the boat to the slowest speed to avoid hitting the rocks." ”

"I see. ”

"Well, but don't worry, we're not off course. As he spoke, he took out the compass needle to verify that what he said was true.

When the two of them heard this, they were slightly relieved, they didn't want anything to go wrong before they found the holy land of the Qilin, so that if they really died, they would die without turning a blind eye.

The voice of the voice woke up Xiao Ji and the others, and the three of them walked out of the cabin one by one, they were still in a daze, but when they looked at the white curtain in front of them, they all suddenly woke up.

The sea is like a grumpy child, it is moody, its environment is changing rapidly, one second it is calm, the next second it can be a big wave. Of course, they won't know about these Ye Yuechen, but Heizai is no stranger, sailors are all sons of the sea, and they know a lot more about the sea than ordinary people.

Although he was only fourteen years old, he had already followed the people of his village to sea many times, and he had seen all kinds of conditions on the sea, but this layer of white fog in front of him was also the first time.

"Damn, I can't even see the road, what can I do? Can't I stop here all the time?" Yue Ji shook his face, and his displeasure was suddenly revealed.

The black boy shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, it's still early, and when the sun comes out, these white fogs may dissipate." ”

Although hearing him say this, everyone was still a little worried, especially Ye Yuechen, he was more careful, he noticed that after so much time, he didn't even hear the sound of the sea flowing, which was too strange. But he couldn't see the sea from the deck, so he decided to ride the snow and look around.

There was a small cargo compartment on the ship, where Yingxue and the three brute beasts and the food they had prepared were all stored.

As soon as Yingxue stepped onto the deck, she let out a hiss, and Ye Yuechen understood that it must have realized something.

Ye Yuechen stepped on the horseback, and as soon as he pulled the reins, Yingxue rose into the air, and the white wings spread out to set off a strong wind, and the black boy who watched it was amazed again and again.

"Wait for me here, I'll go and see what's going on. ”

"Yuchen, this fog is too heavy, you must not go too far. Wang Tianhao hurriedly admonished.

"Well, don't worry, big brother, I have my own measure. ”

Yingxue took Ye Yuechen and flew high, and flew south for a while, but he still didn't get out of the encirclement of the dense fog, and at the speed of Yingxue, it would be at least dozens of kilometers this time.

Ye Yuechen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, this layer of dense fog was really weird! So he controlled Yingxue to fly low until his feet had touched the seawater.

"How so?" exclaimed in his heart, for when he approached the surface, he could clearly see that the sea was still and not flowing at all.

After continuing to fly south for a while, the fog slowly faded. With his memory, Ye Yuechen quickly flew back to the deck and told everyone what he had discovered.

"Is the sea still?, which means we haven't moved at all during this time?"

"That's right, if we continue like this, we'll probably be trapped here, Blackboy, I think we'd better speed up and continue sailing south. Ye Yuechen suggested.

"Well, well, but if something happens, you must listen to me. After some hesitation, Black Box finally agreed.

Without navigation, it is very dangerous to navigate in such conditions, it is very likely to collide with other ships, it is likely to hit a mountain, or it is to run aground, and the black boy's concern is not unreasonable.

"Pull up the sails. ”

Yue Ji and Qiao Ba have become coolies on the ship, and they basically do all the physical work, although they are very unhappy to obey the orders of a little hairy boy, but they still have to make a very hard look in front of Ye Yuechen, they are really dumb and eat coptis, and they can't say what they are suffering.

The sailboat began to accelerate again with a few people on board, and the black boy was at the helm with both hands, not squinting, and he really had the demeanor of a great navigator.

At first, the sea was calm, but the good times didn't last long when the hull began to shake violently.

Several people were already unsteady on the boat, and Yue Ji held on to the railing and scolded, "Damn, what's the matter, did you little kid want to rob us and bring us somewhere?"

Blackboy glanced at him, but did not speak, still staring warily ahead. He didn't know what was going on now.

At this moment, a strong wind struck, blowing so that everyone couldn't open their eyes, and the mist in front of them quickly rotated, gradually forming a pillar of wind, and some lighter objects on the ship were suddenly sucked into the center of the pillar of wind.

The wind pillar rotated faster and faster, like a ladder connecting heaven and earth. The wind grew stronger and stronger, and finally it rained heavily.

"It's an ocean storm. Blackboy shouted.

"What is an ocean storm?"

"It's a terrible hurricane at sea, so terrible that it can easily uproot trees and topple houses, and it couldn't be easier to overturn our ship. ”

"So what do we do?"

Ye Yuechen shouted at the top of his voice. The hurricane raged relentlessly, and the howling wind had drowned out the voices of the crowd.

It didn't take long for gray clouds to sweep in from all directions, obscuring the last rays of sunlight. The sky was suddenly dark in front of everyone's eyes, and the wind was like a roaring ghost, eager to tear the entire ship apart. This scene is like the end of the world is coming, and everyone's hearts have already risen to their throats.

"Don't panic, everyone, pull down the sails and put the mast down. ”

Black Box is very calm and directs everyone step by step. After the sail was lowered, the hull of the ship stabilized a little, and Ye Yuechen walked up to the black boy with his hand on the railing and said, "Then what should I do?"

Suddenly, a big wave came, and the black boy who had just stood up slapped it aside, and everyone hurried over to help him up. Black boy spat out a mouthful of seawater and said loudly, "The storm is very strong, it has exceeded the ship's capacity, now we can only anchor first, and wait for the storm to pass before leaving." ”

Yue Ji hurriedly rolled on the spot, picked up the big iron anchor and threw it into the sea. The crowd helped the boy and staggered back to the cabin.

The cabin was much better than on deck, there were no strong winds or torrential rain, but the violent shaking and the loud sound of the waves crashing against the hull were still unsettling.

I don't know how long it took, the ship finally regained calm, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, Yue Ji was stuffy in the cabin for a long time, and he couldn't wait to rush to the deck, but he was stopped by the black boy, and he saw that the worry in his eyes had not disappeared.
