Chapter 106: Successful Escape, Mysterious Island
The captain's exclamation made Xiao Yao's heart "chuckle", and he knew that the situation was even worse than expected.
"What is the eye of the storm?" Xiao Yao asked.
Cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and the captain said in despair: "It is a huge whirlpool formed by earthquakes and storms under the sea, and anything that is caught in it will never come out alive." ”
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "We have to quickly find a way to avoid it, if we continue to stalemate like this, we will definitely die." ”
"Now we are traveling with the wind is very dangerous, it is estimated that it will not be long before the cargo ship will be brought into the eye of the wind, you should quickly inform everyone to paddle against the wind, as long as we survive the eye of the wind and disappear, we can escape this fate. The captain said.
"It's not easy to swim against the current when the wind is so strong. Xiao Yao said in a deep voice.
"Look there. ”
The captain seemed to see a lifesaver, and excitedly pointed to the northwest direction.
Looking for it, a small island suddenly appeared in his sight, Xiao Yao was overjoyed, and immediately understood the captain's intentions, and hurriedly said: "I'll go and organize everyone to row over together." ”
"Please, everyone. The captain said solemnly.
Nodding, Xiao Yao didn't waste time and ran quickly.
When he came below, Xiao Yao briefly explained the situation, and then took the lead and rushed out, and everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, so they followed out......
At this time, dozens of young sailors on both sides of the cargo ship were swinging their slurries against the fierce wind and waves, trying to change direction, but they still could not stop the speed of the cargo ship.
"Is there a better way to control the cargo ship to move forward?" This method of hitting stones with an egg obviously couldn't control the dangerous situation, Xiao Yao grabbed a sailor's arm and asked hoarsely.
"There is a big oar at the stern, and if you can shake the rope of the oar, the underwater oars will swing from side to side, and perhaps we will still have hope of escaping death. The sailor said.
Hearing this, Xiao Yao took Uncle Huo and went to the stern of the boat in the cold night, and asked the others to help the sailors continue to paddle, after all, the strength of these people is far more than ordinary people.
The crowd did not dare to procrastinate, and hurriedly dispersed to join the paddle team.
When Xiao Yao and the three of them came to the stern, they found that the big oar that the sailor said was indeed big enough, and the eaves rope that shook alone was the thickness of an arm, if the wind and waves were calm, it was estimated that it would take five or six sailors to shake together to make the underwater oars swing, but now the difficulty has increased several times.
It is difficult to return, there is no choice at this time, Xiao Yao grabbed the eaves rope and tried to shake it, but he didn't expect that he couldn't shake it at all with his own strength, which shows the difficulty.
Seeing this, the dry fire and the cold night also joined in, as the three of them exerted their strength at the same time, the eaves rope finally moved slowly, and as the oars swinged, the pressure of the people paddling on both sides suddenly decreased, and the speed of the wood pulp swaying also accelerated......
The cargo ship gradually turned around, slowly approaching the northwest direction, and with a glimmer of hope, everyone gathered their strength......
The storm continued, the mysterious eye of the storm devouring everything it could, the cargo ship was as small as a leaf, and even so it continued to break free from the eye of the storm with its own strength.
After a while, the cargo ship finally got out of the area swallowed by the eye of the storm, although it was still dangerous to go against the wind, but it was many times more dangerous than the one who had just been, at least everyone could control the cargo ship.
"Everyone, work hard, it's about to land. The captain shouted excitedly.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on everyone's faces, and the ghost door was closed and walked away, this feeling is not something that anyone can experience, and a few people were even more excited to shed tears.
"Plop~"
As the huge anchor was thrown into the sea, the cargo ship finally reached the edge of the island, and everyone was lying on the ground panting weakly, obviously exhausted.
After a short rest, the group came to the island.
The island is small in size, the size of a village, and there is no vegetation on the island as far as the eye can see, except for a rectangular smooth rock in the center, surrounded by colorful pebbles and shells, and a silvery gray sandy beach where everyone is located.
"It's strange that I've been sailing this sea for more than twenty years, and I've never seen this island. Scratching his head, the captain said with a blank expression.
Stunned, Xiao Yao turned his head to look at the captain and said lightly: "This island is too small, maybe you have never paid attention to it, right?"
"No way, I spend more time at sea than on land, and I don't dare to say that I know it very well, how can such a large island not be seen. The captain said categorically.
"Could it be that it grew on its own?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"When I saw this island just now, I didn't have time to think about it, and now that I came here, it always feels that something is not right, so it is better for all of us to be cautious. The captain reminded.
Hearing this, everyone also raised their vigilance, and finally escaped death, and now no one is willing to risk their lives, although this island does not seem to be abnormal, but let the captain say this, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of unknown fear.
Xiao Yao didn't think so, after all, this island is real, he doesn't believe that it will become a demon or something like that eats people, and the storm still hasn't stopped, so it's better to stand outside and blow the "sea breeze" to see the scenery when he returns to the shaky cabin.
"Go back and rest, and we'll go inside. Xiao Yao said casually.
"I'll go with you. Leng Ye said.
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Since Brother Leng also likes to walk in the storm, I welcome it." ”
"Less, I just don't like being in the cabin. With a blank look, he said indifferently in the cold night.
Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Yao said that he was noncommittal, and immediately nodded kindly to the captain, and then walked towards the island with the wind on his waist......
Seeing that the three of them insisted on exploring, the captain didn't say much, so he had to beckon everyone to go to the cabin to escape the storm first.
"Whew~Whew~"
Walking against the wind, the three of them are all two-eared, and even opening their mouths slightly will pour into a stomach of sand, so they have no choice but to stretch out their hands and gesture to show their meaning.
After a distance of hundreds of zhang, it took a long time to come to the bottom of the huge rock, and with such a large cover, the three of them took a breath.
"Master, are you alright?" asked Qianhuo with concern.
Shaking the sand on his body, Xiao Yao grinned and said, "It's okay, it's a creation for us to bump into such a rare storm." ”
Leng Ye ignored the two, frowned, observed the huge rock, and after a while, said indifferently: "Brother Xiao, don't you think this rock is very strange?"
"yes, it's a bit weird, at least it shouldn't be so flat and smooth. Reaching out and touching the rock, Xiao Yao said.
"That's not what I said. Leng Ye said.
Slightly stunned, Xiao Yao said suspiciously, "What does that mean?"
"From a distance, don't you think it looks like a tombstone?"
