Chapter 309: Storm

"Dad, are we going fishing so early?"

The pier, a small fishing boat.

A ten-year-old child asked, forcibly opening his sleepy eyes.

Father is untying the ropes tied to the dock and preparing to set sail.

"Recently, the world has changed again, and I heard from the people who have come back that the wind and waves have become stronger."

"But I've heard that the dangerous damn fog has cleared a lot outside, and some people have gone to explore, but the fog is also thicker."

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing."

The father said to himself, regardless of whether his son could understand it or not.

It was only then that he said it that scared his son.

"The big ruin is coming, are you afraid of those terrifying and weird monsters?"

The kid nodded, that's what he feared the most.

"I'm afraid, then we have to set sail early to catch more fish, so that we don't have to be busy later, and we can safely hide in the church of the secret sect of Dagon."

"May the great sleeping god bless us."

“Ph’

.”

After untying the rope, the father held his hands and prayed.

And muttered a string of obscure languages that didn't seem like humans or any known life could have created.

Father didn't really know, but it was passed down to him by the Potions masters of Dagon's secret sect who had obtained their power from Cthulhu.

Tell him it's a prayer to the great being Cthulhu.

The children also began to pray in the same way as their fathers.

And the man also came to his senses and began to help his father with things.

The steam engine starts, the boiler burns, and the kid throws the coal piled up in the warehouse.

For today's steam city, white steam, which is rarely seen, begins to spit into the sky through chimneys.

Magical energy has been widely popularized, and the performance improvement it brings is not comparable to that of the steam engine.

However, there is still the only advantage of using a steam engine, and that is that coal is cheaper than magic energy.

It's just that the steam engine is hard to find, and the steam engine used by their ships is handed down from their ancestors.

In addition, the fishing boat is also equipped with a magic machine, but it is usually used when returning home.

Determined the direction of progress, and looked at his son, who was blackened by charcoal.

Father touched his head: "When we have money next year, we will change to a larger pure magic energy fishing boat, and then we won't have to burn charcoal." ”

Hearing this, the son shouted happily, "I want to be the captain!" ”

Gradually, the voyage also reached the fish-infested sea after two days.

My father lit the lights around the boat to attract the fish, and then cast a large net to catch it.

The strange-looking, ugly fish gradually converged.

Every time you pull it, it's a pretty good harvest.

The father wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled excitedly.

If nothing else, this time the cabin will be filled and you will be able to go back early.

But if nothing else, the accident is about to happen.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting darker.

This is a sign before the storm is coming.

But my father didn't care at first, and based on experience, it was still a long time before a complete storm came.

Before the advent of completeness, despite the small size of his fishing boat.

But it was strong enough, it was something he believed in, otherwise he wouldn't have carried them out of the waves and storms so many times.

It's just that as time passes, a thin layer of mist begins to fill under the gloomy sky.

Father frowned, this is not a good thing.

Once you get lost at sea, it's not good.

My father decided to start sailing back.

With all the fishing tools put away, the fishing boat started again.

But as they continued to sail, they were able to discern the direction through experience at first.

The fog behind them was getting thicker and thicker, and it was obscured by dark clouds, so that no outside light could shine in except for the lights of their own fishing boats.

The whole sea was pitch black, and everywhere the light lit it was billowing mist.

They are like lonely boats adrift above the bottomless abyss, and in the abyss, no one knows what horrors exist.

Lost his way, my father didn't dare to drive indiscriminately, otherwise he might go farther and farther.

I had to stop here for a while, waiting for the fog to clear.

And lit the emergency lights on the fishing boats, hoping that the rest of the fishing boats passing by could see it.

The child looked at the dark surroundings with great fear, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Dad, I'm afraid, won't we go back?"

His father immediately soothed his emotions.

"Don't be afraid, being scared will only make you more afraid, forget what I told you before?"

"We have to be in awe of the Sea of Death, but don't be afraid, being afraid will only make more bad things happen, you know?"

The child nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Well, we'll go back as soon as the fog clears."

They began to wait for the fog to lift, but it turned out not to be what they had hoped for.

A strong wind blew over the sea, but the fog was not blown away.

On the contrary, it looked even more intense, with the wind rolling wildly, and the sound of the whirring wind, like a ghost wailing with teeth and claws.

Even more terrifying.

The waves brought up by the strong winds also began to cause the fishing boats to shake violently.

The storm may be coming early.

Father frowned, it was the worst weather he'd ever faced, not one of them.

Although the child's face tried to keep his father not afraid, his eyes were already full of fear.

You have to get out of here now, even if you're going in the wrong direction.

The use of the steam engine was stopped, and the more powerful magic machine was turned on.

With the wind and waves blowing, the fishing boats began to sail again.

But as the voyage progressed, the fog subsided a little, but the wind and waves became stronger.

The waves swept over and hit the fishing boat heavily, crumbling.

It feels like you're going to fall into this bottomless abyss at any moment.

Father is at the helm with all his might, but to no avail.

The direction that had just been corrected was immediately slapped crooked by a huge wave.

Under the wind and waves, their fishing boats are like toys.

He even wondered if he was going in the wrong direction, heading towards the center of the storm.

But all thoughts were quickly dissolved with a huge wave.

This blow almost overturned the fishing boat, spilling the contents of the fishing boat on the ground, and the father and child also crashed into the fishing boat.

The father covered his head and hurriedly hugged the crying child.

He knew that this time he was afraid that he would not be able to escape, and he could only pray that they could survive this storm smoothly.

Although the father knew that the odds were slim, because a huge wave could overturn their ship at any moment.

But my father began to pray, and that was the only thing he could do now.

But just as the father had finished praying, the child he was holding in his arms immediately pointed in one direction and shouted:

"Look, there's light! It looks like a ship is coming! ”

The father, who opened his eyes, looked in the direction his son was pointing.

In the distant storm and mist, a faint green glow emanated, and the shadow of a large ship revealed from it.

And like a storm, he sailed straight toward them.

My father was stunned when he saw the shadow of the big ship, because the type of ship had been obsolete decades ago.

And I've never seen a ship with a green light.
