On the deck, the boatswain commanded seven or eight sailors to vigorously turn the thick wooden poles connecting the sails, and adjusted several sails by means of pulleys, cleverly turning the south wind into a helping ship to sail eastward.

This is a very clever sailing skill, unless there is a headwind, the wooden sailboat can always use the wind to sail like the right destination, but if the wind is not in the right direction, the kinetic energy loss will slow down the boat significantly.

Just after noon, the white sun slowly set westward, and after having lunch in one of the most spacious and comfortable cabins of the caravan flagship, Zhang Lisheng routinely walked out of the cabin and set off against the strong wind.

In the age of wooden sailboats, the risks of sailing were enormous, especially in bad weather, and it was incomprehensible to have the opportunity to safely hide in the cabin and take the risk for no reason.

However, the role played by the young man was originally an eccentric scholar who would rather dissect animals in a barbarian tribe than enjoy the glory and wealth of the civilized world, and some eccentricities were quite normal.

When Zhang Lisheng walked on the deck, the wind direction was changing all the time, affecting the direction of the wooden boat, and after a while, the bow of the ship began to rotate slowly, looking up at the weather vane on the mast, and the boatswain, who was not tall, but looked unusually strong in the angry wind, immediately shouted loudly: "Left, turn left three degrees to fix."

Quick, quick, quick, haven't you eaten, and if you are so busy and foolish, I will throw you into the sea and feed the fish. ”

At the roar of the boatswain, the sailors gritted their teeth and their faces flushed. He pushed the thick wooden pole out of the groove and pushed it with great difficulty, and finally brought the bow of the boat back to due east.

When the young man heard this roar, he felt the speed of the wooden ship like a turtle, turned his head to look at the sailors who were working under the mast, and could not help but show a sneering smile on his face, and muttered, "It is really sad to be in a barbaric age.

But it doesn't matter, soon I will bring 'civilization' to the mainland...", his ill-intentioned words had just landed, and suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him, "Your Excellency Li Sheng. I didn't expect you to go out for a walk in such weather. ”

"Mr. Vitas. There is a proverb in my hometown, 'If you take a hundred steps after a meal, you can live ninety-nine', and for people like me who don't exercise much, a walk after a meal is the only secret to longevity that can be done. Of course, you have to stick to it.

I didn't expect to run into you. ”

"Oh. There are so many proverbs in your hometown. The middle-aged businessman, whose ship-shaped hat was almost blown off by the wind, grabbed the brim of his hat and strode to Zhang Lisheng's side, looking at the clouds in the distance that were constantly blown away and regathered by the hurricane, and unconsciously said worriedly: "I didn't go out of the cabin for longevity, but Mr. Birch sent someone to find me in the cockpit to have something to discuss." ”

"The Navigator is looking for you out of nowhere. Zhang Lisheng asked vigilantly: "Is the weather not good?"

"Hmm... Oh no, no, no, no, it's not bad, it's just that it might be a little hidden," Vitas smiled reluctantly as if he felt speechless, shook his head and stopped talking nonsense with the young man, "I'll go first, don't worry Your Excellency, it's not a big problem." He strode towards the wheelhouse in the bow.

"How can a trade wind with such a chaotic wind be fine. Looking at the back of the middle-aged businessman who was less hypocritical and pretentious, and heard the boatswain in front of the northwest side start shouting loudly again to order the sail to be adjusted, Zhang Lisheng pursed his lips and whispered to himself.

Then he turned a blind eye to the sailors on the deck, who were getting nervous and scurrying around like flies, and walked to the side of the ship to look down.

Under the boat, the waves of the strong wind are slowly rippling, but there are no waves, which is not the same as the usual situation where the waves must be rough before a storm comes, and it seems to reduce the risk, but it gives people the feeling of first accumulating and then exploding.

However, for the god Wu Li, who has the power to manipulate water, the sea that will always be his 'home field' is impossible for him to be frightened, and he leaned over the deck and waved his hand gently, and the light waves of thousands of kilometers under his feet were instantly smoothed by him, turning into a mirror that could clearly illuminate people's faces.

"This is the power of the gods, the power of the gods, maybe not as strange as when I used to transform into a big worm;

Maybe it's not as powerful as when he transforms into an ancient brute beast, but this is the true invincible strength...

However, it is better not to show this strength unless it is absolutely necessary, after all, I have only just started on the path of the gods, and it is easy to be 'trampled to death' if I get carried away. Muttering to his mouth to disperse his divine power, the young man whispered a reminder to himself in the water, turned and walked around the deck for a while, returning to the cabin.

After digesting the seeds of the resurrection of the gods and inheriting the power left by the ancient gods, the 'witch' path practice tantric method no longer has much significance for Zhang Lisheng, and in the future, he only needs to draw the power of faith through an unspeakable 'channel' that can cross all obstacles between him and the believers, and the strength can continue to increase.

This kind of absorption does not need to be carried out by the gods at all, as long as there are enough believers, everything will happen naturally, and from the point of view of quantity, the young man now has far more believers than he needs.

With the general pious attitude of the Wuli people, being able to gather 50,000 or 60,000 believers is actually enough to ensure that Zhang Lisheng's divine power will not be dispersed, and the limit of the amount of power he can draw is 150,000 to 180,000 believers, and no matter how much he gets, the benefits will become minimal.

This is the reason why in addition to believers, the time to become a god is also one of the two most important yardsticks to measure the strength of the gods, without the refining of time, the gods will not be able to bloom with infinite power, and the gods without the support of enough believers will always be able to wander at the beginning of the path of the gods.

As for mortal creatures such as 'spirits' and demigods, if they have not taken that crucial step, even if they can use their faith power to improve their strength with talent or various bizarre methods, they are absolutely not qualified to have a 'believer' that truly belongs to them, let alone anything else.

With the passage of time as he became a god, he was naturally mastered by Zhang Lisheng, and he was quite satisfied with the power of the power of the gods he mastered, but he was anxious about the way to increase the power of the gods.

Fortunately, the excess amount of faith power provided by the Wuli people was stored by the totem pole and was not wasted at all, and burning these faith power was enough for the young man to increase the power of the gods a hundred times, and he was cautious, he was not afraid that those powerful beings would be enemies with him, but the feeling of idleness made him the most uncomfortable.

In desperation, Zhang Lisheng could only lie on the bed and close his eyes to kill time by thinking wildly, but I don't know how long it took for the cabin to suddenly shake violently, forming an angle of fifty or sixty degrees with the sea, swinging back and forth.

In the days when sailing ships were the main means of transportation at sea, the presence of a wooden bed in the cabin instead of a hammock meant that the occupants had a very noble status, but when the storm came, this respect seemed redundant, as if the cabin wood that had withstood a strong earthquake, although it was fixed to the floor and did not roll, still threw the young man out of the way.

"What a big wind and waves..."Zhang Lisheng, who was successful in cultivating boxing skills, did not use his ability to stabilize his body, but turned over lightly in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground, and the soles of his feet walked to the round window next to the bulkhead like a magnet to look out, and retreated and made his debut.

It should be late at night, but the sky that covers the sea has taken on a strange pale red color, and the sun is about to set in the west, but the rolling clouds are still shining faintly.

The air was full of rain clouds, but not a single rain fell, and countless clouds twisted and condensed together under the drive of the strong wind, forming all kinds of hideous shapes, like countless monsters in the air with their teeth and claws, planning to tear everything below to pieces.

In addition to driving away the dark clouds, the hurricane also set off stormy waves on the sea, and waves surged everywhere Zhang Lisheng's eyes, and the waves were three or four meters high from the sea, as if they were going to beat the ship into powder.

When leading the Wu Li Expeditionary Force to conquer the Hell Islands across the sea, Zhang Lisheng encountered many storms and ocean currents, and at the most critical moment, he even used the power of the green dragon to break through the storm clouds to make the fleet safely off the line, but the bad weather he encountered before was completely different from the storm he saw now, both in terms of scope and that kind of oppressive feeling.

"Hell, if it weren't for me today, these landers would be 100% dead..."After shaking in the cabin like a roller coaster for a while, I saw that the rain finally fell from the clouds with the silver snakes scurrying in the sky, and then in the distant thunder flashing, there were several tornadoes that ran through the sea and sky and slowly appeared, Zhang Lisheng muttered with a gloomy face.

The turbulent young man was not afraid, with his power to control the water, even if the sea was completely turned over, he could still save a wooden boat, but if a tornado hit, he would not be able to save the flagship of the fleet without revealing a flaw, the wooden sailing ship was too fragile compared to the iron ship, and it would inevitably produce a vision when guarded.

However, in the current situation, Zhang Lisheng does not have much choice, in order to lead to the route to the 'Angry Sea Area', he can only try his best to quietly save the merchant ship.

Thinking that the young man would not delay any longer, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and made a slow pressing motion, and suddenly the swing of the wooden boat under his feet was reduced a lot.

Feeling that his power to manipulate the water was stronger than expected in the storm, Zhang Lisheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his heavy mood just now became a little more optimistic, but at this moment, he suddenly saw that with a monstrous wave suddenly emerging from the sea, a merchant ship in the distance flew into the air, tilted back to the sea, and happened to collide with another adjacent sailing ship.
