Chapter Forty-Nine: Conquer the Eye of Death!

Under the command of the whip in Lauder's hand, the sailors moved with the last glimmer of hope, the sail rope was tightened, the noose kept turning, and the canvases made of camel animal leather were raised, which were strong enough to withstand the storm and wind.

The rest of the men threw all the cargo piled up on the deck off the ship in order to lighten some of the sailboats.

Lauder watched the shipload of goods being thrown into the water one by one, his heart was dripping blood, but there was nothing he could do, his life was always more important.

The howling and fierce winds and swirling currents made the huge sail warship look like a fallen leaf that could capsize at any moment, and the hull of the ship kept shaking, as if it would sink to the bottom of the sea in the next second.

Lynn's response was simple, relying on adjusting the angle of the sails and using the strong wind to balance the hull, which was an extremely delicate operation, but the sailors on the ship did not know what aerodynamics was, but they all had decades of sailing experience to manage the situation.

The ship slowly turned under Lynn's control, and moved at full speed in the direction of the current......

"Wizard, you can't be mistaken, there's a maelstrom over there!" Lauder, who had just made the sailors move, turned his head to look at the course, and his whole body was frightened.

Are they trying to escape from the maelstrom, or are they rushing to their deaths?

He now believed the words of the helmsman, who did not understand the ship at all!

"Of course I know that there is a maelstrom, and what we need to borrow is the power of the Eye of Death!" Lynn said solemnly.

The sail warship sailed at a speed of only seven knots, and it was almost impossible to break free from the suction of the vortex, and the only way was to make the direction of the warship parallel to the direction of the current, circle the maelstrom for half a circle, and finally accelerate out with the help of strong centrifugal force!

In fact, Lynn didn't have any experience in sailing, but he had been tested on starship piloting and knew how to use the planet's gravity to reverse accelerate, and the principle was similar for both sides.

In short, rush in and then get thrown out!

Lynn explained very briefly, but Lauder didn't understand a word, but only vaguely felt that it made sense.

"We must be crazy!" Lauder muttered to himself, he never thought that one day he would actually drive a boat and rush directly into the maelstrom!

Except for Lauder, the rest of the sailors soon discovered that there was something wrong with the ship's course, but they didn't even have time to despair, because several sail ropes on the deck could not withstand the strong wind and broke directly!

In such a critical situation, the only way to temporarily rely on manpower to forcibly tighten the sail rope to avoid affecting the navigation of the warship.

Lynn kept adjusting the rudder, and with a violent and brief shock, the hull suddenly deflected to the right, and then stabilized again, and the surging water drove the sailboat forward rapidly, and rushed towards the maelstrom very firmly.

There was a deafening muffled sound in the distance of the sea, like thunder rising from the ground, and in the thin black mist, a corner of the maelstrom was soon revealed to everyone.

It looked like a huge funnel in the sea, a huge amount of water was constantly spinning into the bottomless abyss, and at the bottom of the whirlpool, it was gray and cold, exuding a palpitating smell, and it was impossible to see what was hidden in it......

Looking at the maelstrom of terror, Lauder's face turned pale, and the reaction of those sailors was even more unbearable, and many of them began to babble nonsense.

"Mom, I'm coming for you......"

"It's the stars, I see the stars!"

……

Lynn vaguely sensed that something was wrong, the maelstrom called the Eye of Death seemed to be able to affect the human spirit, and it seemed that this thing was not a natural phenomenon caused by ocean currents or gravitational tides.

You have to get out of here as soon as possible......

But it seems that the speed of the ship is still a little worse!

"With fireballs, seven o'clock!" Lynn shouted loudly, but Jonny didn't understand, and pointed out the direction.

The silver-haired girl immediately understood, urged the [Demon Hand], and a huge mass was immediately condensed in the palm of her hand, and threw it towards the side and back of the sail battleship.

Lynn did the same at this time, and the two huge fireballs collided together, and the violent shock wave shook the hull of the ship, but the impact force also increased the speed of the warship again!

The constantly shaking sail battleship rubbed the edge of the maelstrom very dangerously, and rushed out at a speed several times higher than usual under the action of strong centrifugal force!

At the same time, the violent sound also woke up Lauder and the others, allowing them to get rid of the spiritual influence of the maelstrom, seeing that the incomparably terrifying "Abyss Giant Mouth" was far away from them, and everyone's faces showed expressions like the aftermath of the catastrophe.

After a brief lull, eager shouts erupted on the deck, and everyone was venting their joy of fleeing death.

"It's amazing, we really escaped from the maelstrom!"

"This must be a miracle!"

"When we get ashore, we will get married immediately, and we can't wait any longer!"

……

All the crew members celebrated excitedly, and the two bearded uncles hugged each other excitedly and kissed each other's cheeks.

"First mate, when you get through this sea area, take out all the wine I treasure, and let everyone celebrate." Lauder's hands and feet were trembling, but seeing such a joyous scene,

"But, Boss Lauder......," the first mate on the side stopped talking, and then said cautiously. That case of yours has just been dropped by us......"

Lauder's expression immediately froze, and endless grief welled up in his heart, most of the rare treasures he had accumulated over the years were stored in the wooden boxes on the deck, and now they were all gone!

Lauder even had a thought in his heart that he wanted to rush into the maelstrom and salvage all his money.

But this is just delusional after all......

While his heart is painful, Lauder has not forgotten the heroes who "conquered" the Eye of Death.

"Thank you so much, Wizard, for saving us all! If you are sent in the future, please feel free to command......" Lauder looked at Lynn, reached out and took off his hat and put it on his chest, bowed and saluted.

The originally noisy deck suddenly became extremely quiet, and the sailors and shipwrights present all made the same movements as Lauder, which was the highest respect for the voyagers.

If they were so afraid of Lynn after the Battle of Harbor, they were now respectful from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone had just experienced the power and terror of the Eye of Death, and they were naturally extremely grateful and convinced to Lynn who led him to escape from the pursuit of death.

"What to do next, please continue to instruct!"
