Not long after he returned to the cabin, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and a large dark cloud followed in the direction of the passenger ship.

A few minutes later, Shi Jiu felt that the bed board he was sitting on shook violently, and he had no choice but to give up his cultivation for the time being, and then looked out of the cabin.

The sky was now cloudy, and a gale was blowing on the sea, and the sea was slapping wave after wave against the lone boat.

This sudden bad weather suddenly made everyone in the ship nervous, and many people showed a look of fear.

Now that the voyage is just over halfway through, and there are still 5,000 kilometers to go from the land border on the other side, if something happens to the passenger ship at this time, the consequences will undoubtedly be catastrophic, and there will be no rescue at all.

The passengers on the ship, including the captain and crew, were basically ordinary people, and there were very few cultivators, including Shi Jiu, there were only two or three people.

Just when everyone was nervous, there was a crackling sound outside the cabin, and the torrential rain poured down, which made everyone in the ship even more afraid.

Shi Jiu couldn't help frowning, the current situation was indeed a bit dangerous, the violent storm and the turbulent Gulan Sea made the only passenger ship within a radius of thousands of miles seem weak and helpless.

The wind and waves were getting stronger, the rain was more violent, and the passenger ship was like a kite with a broken string undulating in the huge waves, and away in the strong wind.

The original course had long since been deviated, no one knew where the passenger ship was going, the women and children could not withstand the pressure, and the cries resounded throughout the cabin, and even the men did not know what to do, some had already resigned themselves to their fate and sat down on the deck, while others clasped their fists to their chests and muttered silently. Only the captain and a dozen crew members are still fighting hard to control the passenger ship that has lost control and bring it back to its previous course as much as possible.

At this time, the passenger ship was jolting even more, and all the items on the table and the stands began to fall on the deck of the cabin in large swaths, and the sound of various shattering and shaking made the already frightened people even more pessimistic, and the atmosphere of despair enveloped everyone.

Shi Jiu couldn't sit still, walked out of his cabin, and walked towards the captain's room.

In this situation, he knew that something had to be done, or the result might be really bad.

Shi Jiu's body was light and agile, and he quickly passed through the violently undulating aisle of the cabin to the captain's room at the bow of the ship.

At this moment, a middle-aged man of about fifty years old was trying to control the rudder in his hand, and a young crew member was holding the lower part of the rudder with both hands, trying not to turn it too fast.

"Smack"

The door to the captain's room was opened, and Shi Jiu walked in.

"Whoever let you in, hurry back!" The middle-aged man just took a quick look at the young man who came in, and immediately scolded.

And Shi Jiu didn't seem to hear it, and said after approaching: "Captain, I don't mean anything else, I just want to come over and help, now you should be very short of manpower." ”

After saying that, he looked directly out the window at the deck.

Outside, the storm was raging, and more than a dozen crew members were struggling to tow and control the sails in the face of huge wind and waves.

By this time, these people were all soaked, and under the dense raindrops, their eyes could only narrow into a slit, and their hands tightened the reins that controlled the sails, but the wind was too strong for the sails to turn to their normal positions.

The middle-aged man was anxious, if the sail could not return to its original position, the passenger ship would still not be able to control it, and the bad weather outside the window did not mean to stop at all, and the whole ship could encounter accidents in this way.

"Captain, I'll go outside and help them, one more person will give them more strength."

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Shi Jiu walked straight out.

"What's the matter with this young man? Aren't you afraid of death? ”

The middle-aged man showed a hint of incredulity, but soon returned to his previous state again, trying to control the direction of the ship and try to return the ship to the right direction, otherwise it would be very easy to get lost and sink in this sea.

Out of the captain's room, Shi Jiu came to the deck in front, the rain soaked the clothes on his body in an instant, looked at the sailors who were trying to pull the reins not far away, and then walked over quickly.

"Brother, can't you pull the reins?" Shi Jiu walked to the side of the sailor at the end and asked loudly.

Hearing a loud inquiry from behind him, the sailor who was pulling the reins subconsciously replied loudly: "The storm is too great, and the reins that fixed the sail before have been torn off, and the sail must be fixed in place again, otherwise the ship will not obey!" ”

"And where is the fixed position of the sail?"

"There are two fixed positions on the main pole to pull the sail in our direction and hold the ......"

Halfway through the sentence, the sailor at the very end realized that something was wrong and looked behind him, only to see a young man standing behind him, looking up at the main sail ahead.

"Who are you? It's too dangerous here, hurry back! The sailor scolded.

But the next moment, the young man, who was wet by the rain, was gone.

"Hell, what about the man? It can't be swept away by the wind, right? The sailor hurriedly turned his head left and right, but he didn't see the young man just now.

Above the main mast, Shi Jiu's vibrating wings struggled to adapt to the stormy air environment, and after several minutes of attitude adjustment, they could finally hover in mid-air.

"The next step is to fix the sails."

Shi Jiu vibrated his flying wings, came to the bottom of the main sail, and then leaned directly on it, and then held the lower crossbar of the sail upwards with both hands, and slowly turned against the direction of the wind.

"Huh? The sails seem to be turning? ”

On the deck, sailors who were trying to pull the reins suddenly noticed that the reins in their hands showed signs of being moved.

"Look, the sails are really turning our way!" At this time, the sailor at the front noticed that the main sail was slowly turning.

"It seems to be true, is it because the wind is light?" One of the sailors was puzzled, but immediately shook his head in denial: "No, the wind is still very strong!" ”

"Wait, what's that? It seems to be a person! ”

The sailor at the front noticed a figure under the sail, and the figure was trying to turn the sail as best he could.

"Really, there is indeed a person, is he helping us turn the sails?"

"Whether it's or not, everyone work harder, and the sails will be in place soon!" The sailor at the front spoke.

Soon, with the combined efforts of everyone and Shi Jiu, the main sail was rotated to the correct position, and at this time, the three sailors at the front quickly climbed the main mast and skillfully tied the reins to the fixed clamping position, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the captain's room, the middle-aged man also breathed a sigh of relief, the main sail was in place, and the rudder was finally controlled.

"Who the hell is that young man?"

The middle-aged man saw the whole process of Shi Jiu helping to turn the sail just now, but due to the dim light, he didn't see the other party's face clearly, but he immediately thought of the young man who walked into the captain's room before and said that he wanted to help.

"The other party didn't lie, it really helped us." The middle-aged man thought secretly, and then a wave of gratitude rose in his heart.

To be honest, in this harsh environment, middle-aged men don't think that anyone will be able to help them, even if someone really helps, but in the face of such a harsh and dangerous weather, most of them will retreat, after all, no one will gamble their lives to do such a dangerous thing.

So Shi Jiu's help, and it really helped, made the middle-aged man a new man grateful.

Just as the sails were fixed and the deck was a little relaxed, a sudden gust of wind struck and swept one of the sailors standing at the back into the sea.

"Help, help me!" There was a loud cry for help from the sailors who were caught in the sea.

"It's not good, Xiao Wuzi was blown into the sea by the strong wind!"

The sound of help in the sea was heard, and the sailors on the deck, realizing that someone had fallen overboard, looked nervously towards the cry for help.

Following the dim light, everyone saw the figure in the distance undulating with the huge waves, and it was getting farther and farther away.

"What to do? People are getting farther and farther away, do you still want to save them? ”

"It can't be saved, the boat can't pass at all!"

The people on the deck looked in horror at the figure that was about to disappear in front of them, and they didn't know what to do.

At this time, a figure in the sky quickly flew towards the figure on the sea in the distance, and when the figure was about to sink completely into the sea, his right hand directly grabbed the collar of the opponent's back, and then pulled the figure out of the sea with the hard fanning of the flying wings.

"Look, Xiao Liuzi has been pulled out of the sea!"

The sailors on deck cheered when they saw it.

Soon, Shi Jiu flew to the deck and sent the figure he had rescued to a dry sailor.

"Thank you so much, brother, for not only helping us turn the main sail, but also saving our people." The lead sailor thanked him.

Behind him, the other sailors also thanked Shi Jiu one after another.

"We're all in the same boat, and helping you in this situation is helping myself."

As soon as Shi Jiu finished speaking, he suddenly felt his heart sink, as if something bad was about to happen.

In the next second, the entire passenger ship was shining, and in an instant, it was pitch black, and then a thunderclap resounded across the sea, and everyone was startled by the sudden lightning and thunder.

Just as everyone was about to take refuge in the cabin, a lightning bolt that was extremely thick like a huge golden dragon quickly burst out of the dark clouds and slammed into the raging waters below.

Boom - Boom - Boom -

The huge lightning like a golden dragon directly hit the sea, instantly triggering a monstrous wave, and the passenger ship where Shi Jiu was was like a fallen leaf in the wind, sinking up and down in the huge waves, and could sink at any time.

Everyone was frightened, clinging to what they could rely on and praying eagerly in their hearts.

Shi Jiu didn't enter the cabin, because the uneasiness in his heart became heavier and heavier.

He looked up at the cloud-covered sky, where there were frequent flashes of light and a dull thunder, all of which seemed to foretell that something terrible was about to burst out of it. At this time, there was movement on the sea on the side of the hull, Shi Jiu subconsciously looked at it, and suddenly his eyes widened, revealing an incredible expression.

I saw that a large whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea surface that had just been struck by lightning, and as the surrounding sea water frantically poured into it, the whirlpool became larger and larger, and soon affected the passenger ship.

As if beckoned, the passenger ship sailed straight down the whirlpool with the surging waters.

This scene also completely frightened everyone on the ship, and despair once again enveloped everyone on the ship.

At this moment, nature showed its dangerous side, and even Shi Jiu was affected, and a trace of pessimism welled up in his heart.

Although his mood was a little heavy, Shi Jiu did not despair, and after calming down, he unfolded the flying wings behind him and flew directly above the passenger ship.

In mid-air, Shi Jiu clearly saw that the passenger ship under him was rapidly rotating around the whirlpool along the whirlpool, and kept leaning downward, if it was not stopped, it would not be long before the passenger ship would sink in the whirlpool, and everyone would die.

"I can only fight it!"

If it was just one person, Shi Jiu was confident that he would be able to leave here safely, but there were many women, children, children and innocent people on the passenger ship, and he couldn't bear to watch these people die, so he quickly made up his mind in his heart.
