Chapter 70: The Sea Storm
The first night of the raft survival arrived.
Except for the hot weather and a bit of wind and waves this afternoon, nothing happened.
To stick to the ten-day period, food and water are naturally particularly important.
Don't worry about food, it's more than enough, even if it's not enough, it's not difficult to catch a few fish from the sea.
The most important thing is drinking water, he only has a total of three bottles of mineral water and a kettle, if he does not distribute the daily share reasonably, it will be very uncomfortable in the future.
Moreover, although the time in the air is said to be ten days, no one knows if there will be a new situation after ten days, so it is better to leave some more water just in case.
Therefore, Zhou Xu decided to strictly control the daily water intake and reduce unnecessary physical wear.
Took out the mineral water and drank a small sip to relieve the feeling of thirst, Zhou Xu hugged the supply bag in his arms, tied himself to the raft with a rope, and began to sleep.
Take advantage of the calm now, seize the time to recuperate, the climate on the sea is impermanent, and the back may not be so comfortable.
If you get used to the feeling of bumps on the sea, it actually has a kind of sleep-aiding effect, and Zhou Xu quickly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden crashing sound under the raft, and the bumpy feeling became stronger, and Zhou Xu woke up all of a sudden!
Zhou Xu hurriedly got up, checked the situation, and found that there were some strange fish looming around the raft, they seemed to be aware of his presence, trying to ram the raft and overturn him!
Zhou Xu hurriedly picked up the oars and tried to sail away from this area, but the group of strange fish caught up with him, and they didn't give up, diving under the raft and constantly going up!
These strange fish say that they are not big or small, let them run into such a collision, and the raft will fall apart sooner or later!
"Do you think I can't do anything about you when you're in the sea?"
Zhou Xu was annoyed, he closed his eyes, and his subtle [knowledge] radiated out, feeling the fluctuations of life energy under the surface of the sea.
Soon, the position of the strange fish under the raft was grasped by him, and with a thought, the alloy arm guard in his right hand quietly disintegrated, turning into thirty-two flying knives!
Whoosh.
The throwing knives were launched into the water, and in a short time, the water around the raft was dyed red, and the impact below was stopped.
Zhou Xu looked at the corpses of strange fish floating up around him, and he didn't know if the fish could be eaten or not, and whether it would be poisonous.
Forget it, it's better to eat compressed biscuits, if it's unpalatable, it's hard to eat, and it's troublesome to make a fire on this raft.
Maybe the raft just drifted to the position of the current, and there were a lot of fish below, killing wave after wave.
They snatched up the corpses of their companions, while also trying to ram Zhou Xu's raft.
Zhou Xu controlled the flying knife to keep strangling, although the raft was safe for the time being, there were more and more fish corpses floating around, the sea water was getting redder and redder, and it also emitted a strong smell of blood.
"Oops, if it goes on like this, sooner or later it will attract big fish."
Zhou Xu realized the danger, picked up the oars, and rowed away vigorously while flying knives to continue to clean up the strange fish under the water.
When he finally got out of the red-stained sea, he saw a huge killer shark leaping out of the sea from a distance, looking particularly eerie in the moonlight.
Zhou Xu's face was full of jealousy, and he hurriedly drew a farther distance.
It wasn't until there was no powerful lifeform around him in the [Sense] sense that Zhou Xu stopped, and his heart palpitated.
With his current strength, he can win if he fights sharks, but there is only one raft for him to stand on this sea, as long as he fights with the larger sea creatures a little, the raft will disperse, and he will not be far from death.
After all, no matter how good he can swim, he can't hold his breath in the sea for long.
At this time, he was a little envious of people with ice lifeforms, who could make ice floes on the surface of the sea at will, and they were not afraid of drowning at all.
Or it's good to have a wooden personality who can make their own wood and build a reliable ship.
Although Zhou Xu has three kinds of life, these three kinds of life are not very useful on the sea, and he really hopes to awaken a useful life grid at this time!
I can only think about this matter, and after learning the previous lesson, Zhou Xu cast [Convergence] to hide the aura on his body.
There are many creatures whose perception is sharper than that of humans, and those strange fish should have been like this before, sensing his life energy, so they attacked his raft.
Fortunately, this is just a group of trash fish with weak combat effectiveness, if he senses that he is a large shark or something, he will capsize by now!
In the final analysis, he was careless, and from now on he tried to maintain a state of [convergence], so that for the fish under the surface of the sea, the raft was just a piece of driftwood on the sea, and they could not perceive his presence, so they would not collide with the raft.
In this way, if there are creatures that can detect his existence, then the strength must be extremely strong, and it is useless to hide, it can only depend on luck!
After Zhou Xu performed [Convergence], the night was finally peaceful.
As the sun rises, the temperature rises gradually, and the circumference in the sun, which is completely unobstructed, is particularly thirsty.
On weekdays in the city, many people think that they are okay if they don't drink much water for a day, but in fact, they drink a lot of drinks and have water in the soup.
On this sea, people are very uncomfortable when they are exposed to the scorching sun, there is no other way to replenish water, and the food they eat is very dry.
The more I want to save water, the more I think about it, the thirstier I become.
Zhou Xu's mouth was dry, and he took out a sip of water from time to time, not daring to drink more.
In this case, he can only abandon distracting thoughts and meditate and practice with all his heart.
In the state of cultivation, if you don't think about this living environment, time will pass a little faster.
The sun rises and the moon sets, day and night, and Zhou Xu spent three days at sea in the blink of an eye.
At dusk that day, the sea breeze suddenly became stronger, the clouds on the horizon moved extremely fast, and the black lightning and thunder roared in the distance.
It seems that a storm is coming!
Zhou Xu's expression became grim, and he knew that his biggest test was coming.
Will the raft be able to hold out in the midst of a raging storm?
If he can't hold on, he's doomed!
Before the storm came, Zhou Xu checked all the ropes under the raft to make sure it was tight and strong.
He tied the supply pack to the wood with rope to make sure it wouldn't fall in the storm.
After making all the preparations, he quietly waited for the storm to come.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the waves became very large, and there was a torrential rain in the sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Zhou Xu lay on the raft, clutched the rope tightly, and began to fight to the death with the sea!
The waves are higher and higher, and the raft goes with the waves, one will rush here, and the other will wash there!
A few times, it almost got caught in the center of the vortex, and the force of the tear almost made it fall apart.
At the critical moment, the life energy in Zhou Xu's body was injected into the raft through the rope at any cost, and [refining] was cast on it.
With the blessing of [Lian], the raft is equivalent to putting on a layer of armor, and its ability to resist wind and waves has been greatly increased, and it has finally not fallen apart!
Throughout the night, Zhou Xu maintained an extremely uncomfortable posture, being washed around in the sea with the raft, and he didn't know how many mouthfuls of seawater he drank.
It wasn't until dawn that the storm gradually passed, and Zhou Xu was finally able to sit up straight.
His whole body was wet, if it weren't for the strong body of the master, such a night of tossing would inevitably have a cold and the like.
This storm was not without a little benefit, the sky was still raining lightly, Zhou Xu drank the remaining mineral water, and then grabbed the water again.
In this way, the water is not worried, Zhou Xu only hopes that there will be fewer storms like this in the future, last night was lucky, luck was almost, he was already swept into the sea!
A new day begins again, and after a night of wind and rain, the sun comes back to barbecue.
Gradually accustomed to all these weeks, his physical fitness is no longer comparable to that of a weak high school student, and under the scorching sun, he calmly visualizes and practices.
In the next few days, Zhou Xu saw the dense fog and the mirage, and there was no danger, and he passed it safely.
His skin was a little tanned, and his clothes were wet and dry, dry and wet, and it was really uncomfortable, and he ended up wearing only a pair of shorts, revealing a well-proportioned muscle.
On the seventh day, the storm struck again.
This time with experience, Zhou Xu was much calmer and passed safely.
When the storm ended and the waves calmed down, Zhou Xu saw from a distance that there seemed to be another raft floating on the sea!
The raft looked like it was about to fall apart, and there was a woman sitting on it, she seemed to have discovered Zhou Xu's existence, and tried her best to control the broken raft and floated towards Zhou Xu.
When I got closer, I found that it was a strange beautiful woman, soaking wet, half of her shoulders exposed, revealing fair skin and beautiful collarbones.
Her face is the size of a palm, but her eyes are big, and she belongs to the type that can easily arouse people's desire to protect.
Zhou Xu was vigilant, and after the strange beautiful woman approached him, she showed a surprised expression. "Is it the life master of Great Xia?"
Zhou Xu nodded quietly. "Also from Great Xia? I'm from the imperial capital, what about you? ”
The strange beautiful woman immediately replied, "I'm from the Demon Capital, but that's great, I thought I was the only one on the sea!" Finally met someone! Woooooo ”
As she spoke, the woman began to cry, and explained while crying: "The storm was too big before, and I ran into some unknown fish in the sea, and my raft was about to break, and my supply bag was swept away by the wind and waves, can I get on your boat?" ”
The woman looked pitiful and pleaded with Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu's eyes flickered for a while, and then a hearty smile appeared on his face, "Of course, get on my boat!" It's good to have one more person to take care of each other! ”
The woman looked grateful when she heard this, "Thank you, you are so nice." ”
Her raft quickly approached, and Zhou Xu picked up the supply bag, leaned back a little, and made way for her.
The woman climbed onto the raft, and Zhou Xu handed her the water she had drunk and a small biscuit.
The woman took it gratefully, but did not eat or drink. "Now the water and food are too precious, I will keep it for now, I am so thirsty that I can't stand it before drinking."
Zhou Xu nodded and didn't say much.
