Chapter 209: The Storm Is Coming (4000 Words) (2-in-1)
"Dudu~"
Before nightfall, with a loud whistle, the Flying slowly left the docks of Haichao Town and sailed in the direction of sunset.
For it, Haichao Town is just a temporary anchoring harbor, and it can't stay for a long time after all.
It's like a city bus, except that its service range is much wider than that of a bus, and it has to travel back and forth in a sea area.
At this time, Zuo Tengyun was in a small but well-equipped room with luxurious decoration.
It was in exchange for a high-class ferry ticket that he had bought at a considerable cost.
With billions of dollars, but he can't find a channel to spend it for the time being, Zuo Tengyun has no choice but to use this to improve his living standards.
If you have wealth, but continue to live a miserable life, that is not thrift, that is stupidity.
After all, money will depreciate.
After a while, the sky was replaced by night, and Zuo Fujiyun stood alone on the shoulder of the bow of the ship.
The sea breeze at night is a bit cold, and when it blows on people who are thinly dressed, it will definitely make people shiver and get goosebumps all over their bodies.
As a result, the people on board were largely reluctant to come to the deck, preferring to attend the banquets held on board at this time.
In this regard, Zuo Tengyun is not afraid, no matter how thin his clothes are, no matter how cold and strong the wind is, he only feels that it is Xu Xu and the wind now, because his physique is far from being comparable to ordinary people.
He looked up and saw the starry sky.
"Da Na~" (The night here is not the same as in the forest.) )
The Miao Frog Grass beside Zuo Tengyun also raised her head and looked at the night sky, she compared it in her heart and said her opinion.
"This may have something to do with the fact that the sea is very wide, but if you look around, do you feel like the sea and the sky are wide?"
Hearing this, Zuo Tengyun smiled slightly.
Miao Frog Grass doesn't know what the sea and the sky are, but she still understands the word broad.
She thought to herself and felt that this made a lot of sense.
Indeed, in the forest, she can only see the night sky through the cracks in the canopy, and the way she sees the night sky may be similar to that of a frog sitting in a well and watching the sky.
After coming to the sea, although she could not see the slightest green place, the life here was not inferior to that of the forest, and it gave her a sense of freedom.
"Oni~" (Is that so?) )
Ghost Stone suddenly appeared, scratching his head with gas-like claws, and wondered.
He used to live in the forest, but when he saw the night sky, he was flying around in the air, and he didn't think it was any different from the forest.
After saying this, Ghost Stone seemed to feel something, immediately turned his head to look in a certain direction, and then instantly became invisible.
It's not just Ghost Stone who is like this, but Froggrass and the Shelled Ninja also turn their heads to look in the same direction, with a wary look in their eyes.
Seeing this, Zuo Tengyun of course knew that this was a relationship between them and discovering that someone was coming to him with the help of their ability to perceive life energy.
Seven or eight seconds later, a burly man appeared in his field of vision.
Zuo Tengyun remembered who this man with a navy blue turban on his head, sharp eyes, and even fierce words, the other party was the boatswain on this ship, and his name was Mixon.
The reason why he recognized this person was that this person personally came to the door to introduce himself, and the other party offered to invite him to serve as a temporary guard on the ship.
It's a pity that the remuneration is a bit picky, only 200,000 yuan, how could Uncle Zuo Tengyun, who is already full of money, look at this little money, and decisively refused.
It may be that he has lost this person's face, and the other party's face suddenly became ugly, his eyes were full of surprise and hidden anger, thinking that he had offended this person, and he didn't know why this person came again.
"Mr. Zuoto, we met again, I didn't expect to see you here at this time, why don't you go to the banquet held on the ship, is the food prepared by the chef on the ship not to taste?"
Maxon's face at this time was no longer gloomy when he was rejected by him, and he was like seeing a friend he hadn't seen for many years, and he was the first to greet Zuo Tengyun with a smile on his face.
It's a pity that his face is really a little fierce, and his eyes are also fierce, even if he is smiling, he is still enthusiastic, and it also gives people a very unreal feeling, similar to the smile of a tiger, hiding a murderous intention.
Small kiosk app
Zuo Tengyun was already a person who had seen blood, and among the opponents he killed was a gym-level powerhouse, of course he couldn't be frightened by Maxon's tiger smile.
But he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, he smiled politely and said: "Of course not, the food tastes very good, I am used to traveling alone, and I am not very accustomed to the atmosphere of this banquet, so I came here to blow the wind, but the boatswain is loyal to your duty, which is admirable." ”
"Where, where, this is just my duty, at this night, the water spirits in the sea are the most likely to attack, I, who are begging for a living at sea, can't be careless at this time, otherwise ten lives will not be enough."
When Mixon heard Zuo Tengyun, a trainer with outstanding strength, praise him like this, he was secretly happy in his heart and said with a grin.
"I see, it seems that I am a little careless, I am afraid that it is not safe to come here alone, thank you boatswain for reminding me."
Zuo Tengyun showed a sudden expression and said gratefully.
This is true, and he is indeed grateful for Maxon's reminder.
This sea is different from the forest, he came here rashly alone, if something happens, he is really to blame.
At this time, he finally realized that he was in a wild area even on the ship, and the strength of the wild elves in this sea was no worse than that on land, maybe the territory was much stronger than that on land, and if he accidentally fell into the sea, it was estimated that he would be unlucky.
"Sure enough, it's still a little inflated."
Zuo Tengyun secretly admonished himself.
"Where the duty lies, there is no need to be grateful, besides, with your strength, Mr. Zuoto, as long as you don't meet those unimaginably powerful king-level elves, it is more than enough to escape."
Maxon waved his hand, recognizing Zuo Tengyun's strength.
Zuo Tengyun didn't expect Maxon to be so optimistic about his strength, but he wouldn't really expose his true strength because of a compliment from the other party, and laughed at himself: "The boatswain has won the award, and I'm just a small elite-level trainer, it's not a big deal, if something happens, you need to take on more responsibilities." ”
"Elite?"
Mixon was surprised, and then suspicious.
He didn't have much contact with Zuo Tengyun, and he didn't understand Zuo Tengyun very well, so he didn't believe Zuo Tengyun's words.
And he is a measured person, since he feels that Zuo Tengyun wants to hide his clumsiness, and faintly reveals the attitude of rejecting people, he has to temporarily swallow the matter of inviting Zuo Tengyun to serve as a temporary guard again, and said with a smile: "No problem, but it is windy here, and it is easy to catch a cold after staying for a long time, Mr. Zuo Teng should go back early, goodbye." ”
"Well, I will, boatswain."
Zuo Tengyun nodded.
This is the end of the conversation between the two.
Then, shortly after Maxon left, two sailors, one of whom was very dark-skinned, came to the bow deck.
Zuo Tengyun has good eyesight, he can see it very clearly, and he knows that this person is definitely not black, he is simply tanned, but it is the first time he has seen a person who has been so tanned.
This person's outfit is the same as that of another sailor, wearing a standard sailor suit, with an ordinary face, which is difficult to take out when thrown into a pile of people, but he has a pair of very charming blue eyes, and it is these eyes that attract Zuo Fujiyun's attention to this person.
Looking left and right, he was just an ordinary sailor, and after a few glances, Zuo Fujiyun withdrew his gaze, and then left with a group of elves.
And when Zuo Tengyun left, the dark-skinned sailor kept staring at him with the corner of his eye, and there was a bit of murder hidden in his eyes, but this killing intent was only a flash, making it difficult to detect.

In the middle of the night, in the captain's room.
The old captain was standing straight, looking intently at the sea outside the glass in front of him, his cloudy eyes revealing a bit of solemnity and worry.
At this time, a thick layer of clouds had appeared over the sea, and thunder snakes flashed from time to time on the sea in the distance.
As a man who has spent most of his life at sea, he had no idea that this was a sign of an approaching storm.
"Damn, I didn't expect to encounter a storm just after leaving Haichao Town, this time I don't know if it was caused by natural formation or a powerful water spirit, I hope it's the former."
Old Captain Jack said with a frown.
"yes, I hope it's not the latter."
Hank, the deputy captain on the side, echoed, he seemed to remember some bad experience at this time, his face was ugly to death, his eyes showed a look of fear, and his body trembled involuntarily.
When the old captain saw the appearance of the deputy captain, he was disdainful, but he did not say anything to mock.
Because he knew why Hank was afraid to be like this when he was a seven-foot man, in fact, the dangerous experience at sea was too torturous, and not everyone could easily cross this hurdle.
Hank will become like this, which has something to do with the wild king-level elf battle that the Flying Smuggled encountered last time.
At that time, Hank was very unlucky on the deck, and the huge waves formed by the aftermath of the battle between the two powerful king-level elves swept him off the deck into the sea.
But because of this, the huge psychological shadow that fell, every time I encountered a storm, I couldn't help but be afraid.
The old captain was a nostalgic man, and he had worked with Hank much longer than Mixon, but with Hank's current appearance, he would certainly not be able to hand over his beloved Flying to such a waste when he retired.
"I hope I can earn enough pension after this time, I've had enough of this terrible life at sea, it's just a pity that my Flying Ship didn't know it would fall into the hands of that bastard in the end."
Old Jack sighed in his heart.
He then picked up the ship's wired phone and called Boatswain Michael to his room, and then handed over the helm to Hank for the time being.
He was old and lacked energy, and the work of the vigil could only be entrusted to the able-bodied deputy captain.
Before leaving, Old Jack comforted Hank appropriately, telling him not to be too nervous, and if he couldn't hold it, he immediately called the inside line to tell him.
。

Shortly after Old Jack returned to his room, there was a knock on the door, and then Mixon's voice rang out from outside the door.
Old Jack opened the door for Michelson to come in, and asked, "How's things going?" ”
"It's not very smooth, it's an unsociable guy, and he's very vigilant, it's estimated that he has been traveling alone for too long, and it's very difficult to find him to cooperate."
Mixon sat down on a couch and shook his head.
"Normal, you continue to contact him, as much as possible to reduce his vigilance, but before the next port temporary dock, you have to give me an explanation, this time is different from before, it is a certain big man who personally explained, that person really doesn't want to and doesn't have to force it, I don't believe that when it comes to the moment of danger, he can still stand by and watch, this vast sea, he can't do without us."
The old captain said disappreciatively.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best."
Hearing this, Maxon nodded, his mood was much lighter, and he showed a wicked smile.
"You don't want to do a set behind what you say on the surface, you must do your best to win it over, you must know that the road to fly separately when the disaster comes, if we can't bind him with the chain of interests, he is very likely to drop the chain at a critical moment, you don't joke with your own life."
Old Jack was an old man, and he could see Maxon's careful thinking at a glance, and immediately beat him with a straight face.
Maxon's heart sank, and he removed the careful thoughts that had just been born in his heart to coerce Zuo Tengyun to participate in the war.
The captain was right, if he couldn't use interests to move Zuo Tengyun, something really happened, and the consequences were difficult to predict, who knows if Zuo Tengyun would flee immediately at that time.
Think about it from another perspective, if this kind of thing happens to him, maybe he will really abandon the others and run away immediately.
Next, the two continued to discuss the smuggling, and then dispersed.
。
。
"Boom~"
A loud roar of thunder rang out.
The storm had finally come, and the sea had become frenzied, and under the influence of the strong wind, the waves were constantly rising on the surface of the sea, and the Flying was staggered, but fortunately everything on board had been fixed beforehand, otherwise it would have been very uncomfortable for the people on board.
At this time, on the bow deck, a sailor in a raincoat was swearing and making his rounds.
Soon, on his way to the stern of the ship, he was met by another companion who was also wearing a raincoat, a common sailor with dark skin, who they liked to call a because of his dark complexion.
Just as he was about to call this companion as usual, a long tentacle suddenly flew out from under the ship and wrapped around his body.
The sailor is also a seasoned trainer, and as soon as the tentacles appeared, he immediately grabbed the Poké Ball on his waist with his hand, ready to release the Pokeball.
But he never expected that at this time, the companion in front of him would actually punch him in the head, knocking him to the head.
Then, before he could scream, he was pulled into the sea by his tentacles.
