Chapter 36: Cargo Sails in the Great Waves

Since the sailing ship was in the middle of the strait at this time, and the sudden strong wind had no direction, it was difficult to withdraw from the middle of the strait. If you keep going, the rough waves ahead can easily overturn the ship.

A sailor who could not stand the wind swooped down and ran back into the cabin, shuddering and squeezing into the crowd.

"What's going on outside?" asked the sailor as he entered.

"Ahem, don't mention it, it's unfortunate that I've been at sea for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a big storm and waves!" the sailor wrapped himself in his clothes and sighed heavily.

"Will the boat capsize?" a timid voice suddenly asked.

"Oh, it's hard to say," the sailor shook his head, his face cloudy.

As soon as the words were finished, after word of mouth, the crowd began to be restless, and they began to rub their hands and stomp their feet. And the initial sentence "may capsize" gradually evolved into "the boat is going to capsize", and when it reached Xiao An's ears, Xiao Kian was also stunned. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly remembered Bai Ling'er who was still in the dormitory.

"She's not still sleeping, is she?" a worried thought flashed through Xiao An's heart.

The slightly thin body struggled to cut through the crowd and squeezed towards the gangway. When he finally squeezed to the gangway, Xiaoan found that the gangway was also overcrowded at this time. Facing the unfamiliar faces, Xiao Kian smiled apologetically and squeezed up the narrow gangway.

The spiral ramp itself is narrow, and at this time it is crowded with people, and it is difficult to squeeze up from below. The mood of the crowd was already anxious, and the people congested on the gangway could hardly see the scene outside, and their hearts were naturally even more anxious, and they all eagerly wanted to go downstairs to see the situation.

At this time, Xiao An, who was going up against the grain, undoubtedly made them more irritable, and slowly squeezed up the gangway, Xiao Hai was greeted with angry eyes and sharp and mean invectives all the way. Xiao An lowered his head, ignoring the ruthless faces of the anxious crowd, and only had one belief in his heart: hurry to the dormitory to wake up Bai Ling'er.

By the time we got to the third floor, there weren't many people on the gangway. Turning the corner, Xiao An hurriedly opened the door curtain, and at this time, Xiao An saw that the deck chair on the counter was empty, and the fat administrator had disappeared.

Pushing open the door of the dormitory, a strong wind poured in, blowing Kogishi's clothes up suddenly. Xiao An glanced at the dormitory, there was no one in the empty dormitory at this time, and Bai Ling'er's bed was also empty.

What Xiao An didn't know was that not long after she left the dormitory, Bai Ling'er had already felt the hull of the boat shaking, and when she woke up from sleep, she immediately got up and got out of bed, and squeezed into the crowd along the gangway.

Bai Ling'er, who was still looking for Xiao An in the crowd at this time, naturally didn't know what to do, Xiao An had already returned to the dormitory to find himself at this time.

The slender body stood on tiptoe in the crowd, Bai Ling'er's eyes were not without anxiety, and her eyes scanned around, but she couldn't see Xiao An's figure. Biting her thin lips, Bai Ling'er, who was helpless, was squeezed around by the crowd.

In the midst of anxious shouting, the ship suddenly turned sideways, and the crowd fell to one side. Bai Ling'er stumbled under her feet and was almost pushed down by the crowd because she didn't stand firmly, but fortunately, her body was blocked by a table, so there was no accident. Amid the panic, some people began to scream.

The captain's body on the observation deck also shook suddenly, and then a cracking "rattle" sound was heard, and the captain looked behind him, only to find that the largest sail was slowly falling.

As the wind intensified, the hull of the ship shook more and more, and seeing that the sails could no longer play any role, the captain gave an order, and all the ropes were untied, and the huge sails fell to the ground with a bang.

Today's cargo ships can no longer adjust their direction and whirl up and down in the big waves. Perhaps all that was left for now was the will of heaven, and with a heavy breath, the captain closed his eyes in despair, as if resigned to fate.

At this time, the cabin was already in chaos, and many people who had fallen to the ground because they had not stood firm were ruthlessly trampled under their feet, and the screams, cries, and cries for help were all mixed together. Bai Ling'er, who didn't find the small shore, was squeezed to the edge by the crowd, grabbed the edge of the window casually, and she saw the waves rolling up not far from the window, a hundred feet high.

The wind began to howl on the sea, and the dark clouds in the sky rushed away, and those dark clouds gathered rapidly over the sea. Under the dark clouds, the light in the cabin quickly dimmed, and the panicked people began to wail. A few loud thunderbolts followed, and silver lightning burst out over the sea. In the blink of an eye, in the midst of dark clouds, a torrential rain poured down.

Providence did not seem to favor these people, and the whirling sailboat in the heavy rain was gradually swept into the center of the hurricane. The black waves lifted the sailboat high and then threw it down, splashing into the sky. Some of the people in the cabin who had not grasped it were thrown out of the boat and swept into the waves. And Bai Ling'er, who was holding on to the edge of the window at that time, had already been thrown out of the cabin when the sailboat fell from the sky, if he hadn't used blood magic to grasp the window, I am afraid that he would have been buried in the sea at this time.

Immediately after that, the sky swirled, and after falling with a bang, the hull had begun to break in many places, and it was no longer solid. Along the cracks, the raging waters began to seep into the ship. After the cabin was flooded, the crowd rushed upstairs. At this time, only Xiao An was still on the spiral staircase, squeezing hard downstairs, searching for Bai Ling'er with a panicked expression.

Seeing the crowd rushing upstairs, Bai Ling'er, who was already soaking wet, stood in place at a loss, and did not see Xiao An's figure as far as his eyes could see. In the blink of an eye, Bai Ling'er was left alone in the huge leisure cabin, as if abandoned by the crowd.

The hurricane's swept water rushed in from the bow deck, but in a matter of moments, the water in the cabin was knee-high. In the huge waves, the hull of the ship shook violently again, and Bai Ling'er's whole body was already soaked with seawater.

After the crowd dispersed, Bai Linger walked in the knee-high water, searched all the corners and did not find a small shore. When she reached the gangway, her eyes couldn't help but redden, and she felt so lonely and helpless for the first time. Gritting her teeth, Bai Ling'er pretended to be strong and walked up.

As if sensing something unusual, Bai Ling'er raised her head, her eyes moved slightly, and she saw Xiao An who was stuck at the staircase on the second floor, and Xiao An also saw Bai Ling'er at a glance at this time. When their eyes met, a warm current poured out from the bottom of her heart, Bai Ling'er pursed her thin lips, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she immediately showed a happy smile.

Xiao An, who had been worried in his heart, saw that Bai Ling'er was safe and sound at this time, and the huge stone in his heart was slowly put down, and the corners of his mouth also showed a relieved smile.

Dragging her wet skirt, Bai Ling'er squeezed hard towards the gangway. Xiao Kishi was also squeezing down hard, and seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Xiao Kishi clenched his teeth firmly.

"Here!" Although the distance was already very close, it was out of reach, Bai Ling'er exclaimed anxiously.

But as soon as the words fell, an earth-shattering wave swept over, and suddenly the hull of the ship suddenly rose to the side, and the turbulent sea water poured in instantly. Those who couldn't squeeze up the gangway but didn't hold on to it fell into the sea one after another when the hull turned sideways, and Bai Ling'er was almost taken down by the crowd.

Immediately after a louder "quack" sound, the hull of the ship had begun to disintegrate. The surging sea water quickly submerged the leisure layer below him, and seeing that the sea water had risen rapidly upward, Bai Ling'er showed a frightened look in his eyes.

Steady from the turmoil just now, Kogan found that the hull of the ship was sinking into the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye. Raising her eyes to look at Bai Ling'er again, she had already stretched out her slender arm at this time, and she was looking at herself firmly

"Xiao'an" didn't reach Bai Ling'er, who was Xiao'an, and suddenly cried out in fear.
