Chapter 9: Against the Wind and Waves
"Knock knock!"
A quick knock on the door woke Liu Chen from his meditation, and as soon as he came back to his senses, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that his room was full of mess, as if it had been ransacked, and he didn't have time to think about it, and the violent jolt almost didn't lift him off the bed......
Picking up the Qiushui Sword beside the bed, Liu Chen frowned and came to the door, and after standing still, he slowly stretched out his hand and opened the door......
"Lord Wang, quickly hide in the cabin!" Mo Wu, the general of the Tianji Pavilion Guard Regiment arranged by Mo Wuregret for Liu Chen on the ship, appeared in front of Liu Chen in a hurry, there was no wind or rain outside the door, and Mo Wu's clothes and armor had already become wet.
"General Mo, what's going on, what's wrong with this ship?" Another big wave hit, Liu Chen staggered a few steps, and in a hurry, he grabbed the door frame, and then he stood firm, looking at Mo Wu's embarrassed appearance, Liu Chen said a little anxiously: "The people on the ship are all right!"
"Don't worry, Lord Wang, the people on the ship are fine, you hurry up and go to the bottom warehouse with the last general to avoid it!"
Don't ask much, Liu Chen followed Mo Wu out of the room, when he walked into the bottom warehouse, Liu Chen could clearly see the night sky overhead, the vast sea of stars arched against the bright silver moon, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a windy and rough night, but the bumps of the big ship and the waves that hit the deck from time to time kept impacting Liu Chen's senses, such a storm and waves, it was too weird!
When he came to the bottom warehouse, Liu Chen saw Wu Tong and Xu Yuyao sitting in the corner looking at each other, and when Liu Chen appeared, Xu Yuyao exclaimed in surprise and flew into Liu Chen's arms and said, "Brother Chen, what's going on outside? If it goes on like this, our ship won't last long!"
"Bang!" As soon as the words fell, a muffled sound came from the top of several people's heads, accompanied by a hoarse howl, Wu Tong couldn't help but stand up, and was about to run towards the deck.
"Wait a minute!" While comforting Xu Yuyao, who had already been silent, Liu Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Tong's arm and said, "If you rush up like this, it won't work at all!"
"What should I do then?" Wu Tong turned around, his face was a little solemn and said: "When they are all dead, it will be our turn!
"Then you wait for me!" Liu Chen was silent for a moment, then pushed away Xu Yuyao, who was hugging his waist, in the girl's confused gaze, Liu Chen found a piece of straw rope, regardless of Xu Yuyao's struggle, he pulled the straw rope and tied her very skillfully to the pillar of the bottom warehouse, seeing that Xu Yuyao was still arguing, Liu Chen reached out and picked up her stunning face, frowned and said word by word: "Don't move here, the bottom warehouse is reinforced, even if the ship capsizes, you can stay here with peace of mind and wait until the wind is calm!"
"What about you, Brother Chen, are you going to go to the deck?" Seeing Liu Chen's solemn face, Xu Yuyao panicked in his heart, and began to struggle again, but Liu Chen's method of tying people up is so old, and the grass rope of the boat is really strong, no matter what, the eldest lady of the Xu family, who has only cultivated to the sixth grade of qi refining, can't break free, seeing that Liu Chen is leaving, she is even more anxious, so she has to persuade with a pleading face: "You calm down first, let's think of a way, it won't help to go to the deck recklessly!"
"You can stay in peace, just wait a while, I'll be back soon!" Liu Chen stood up straight, turned his head and glanced at Xu Yuyao deeply, then took Wu Tong to open the compartment without looking back, and jumped towards the deck.
As soon as he raised his head, Liu Chen was stumbled by the oncoming waves, and with Wu Tong's support, he finally stood up, ignoring the already soaked clothes, the two exchanged a look, and quickly ran towards the room belonging to the helmsman.
"Lord Wang, why did you come out again?" I didn't see it for a while, at this moment Mo Wu had a few more wounds on his body, and the red blood was constantly gushing out along the cracks in his wounds, seeing Liu Chen come in, General Mo hurriedly got up from the bamboo bed, and with the support of his own soldiers, he looked at Liu Chen with wide eyes and said: "The last general is trying to find a way to let the ship dock, the prince should go to the bottom warehouse to stay, in case you have any mistakes, the last general will die and cannot be redeemed!"
There were bursts of exclamations outside the door, the monstrous waves continued to lap on the deck, the officers and soldiers of the Tianji Pavilion Guard Regiment at all levels continued to run on the deck, from time to time someone was thrown out of the boat, like a dumpling and fell into the water, through the dark window, Liu Chen looked at the mast that was overturned to the ground, the huge mast was cut off, and directly smashed the position in the middle of the deck to collapse, the torrent continued to pour into the cabin along the collapsed gap, the sergeants brought various tools in a panic, and wanted to repair the broken place of the big ship, but the huge waves came one after another, and did not give people any respite at all, it didn't take long, the big ship began to sink slowly, and the position of the bow of the ship was almost level with the water!
"Where is the Black Hawk?" Liu Chen pressed Mo Wu back to the bamboo bed and lay down, and when he turned around, he saw that the strong man holding the roulette wheel was pale at the moment, and the harsh friction sound came, and the strong man could barely control the direction of the big ship!
Under the joint push of Liu Chen and Wu Tong, the roulette wheel barely stabilized its direction, and when Liu Chen's call was heard, the door was pushed open again, and the panting Black Eagle was stumbling to Liu Chen's side, "Lord Wang, I'm here, I'm here!"
"Where are we now?" Liu Chen turned his head and blushed and roared, "How can there be such a storm in the Canglan River? The night sky outside is clear, why is this happening?"
"Lord Wang, our location is the junction of the Dao River in Yunzhou and Yuezhou, this wave is from the south!"
"Southern ???" Liu Chen sighed in his heart, and a wisp of bad premonition slowly climbed into his heart, "This river goes from north to south, from high to low, and it is the north wind tonight, how can this huge wave come from the south?
"Lord ......"
Black Eagle was sweating profusely and wanted to explain, but was picked up by Mo Wu who was lying on the bamboo bed, "Black Eagle is right, this wave is from the south!"
“......”
"Not only is this huge wave going against the wind, but along the entire Dao River, almost all the dikes have burst their embankments, when the waves rose before, the last general had sent a signal for help, but before the colleagues on the shore could reply, this headwind and waves had already cut off the rescue route on the shore, and after the mast was broken, our big ship came to a standstill, and the last general had already crushed the projectile, and the master of the Tianji Pavilion was on the way to come......"
"Bang!"
"Lord be careful!"
There was another violent jolt, through the dark window, Liu Chen could vaguely see that a wall of water suddenly rose on the river in the distance, the wall of water flipped and undulated for a moment, almost covering the starry sky above people's heads, in a heart-rending scream, the water wall more than ten feet high surged in front of the big boat, and then slammed down......
"Help...... Ahh
"Bang bang bang!"
When it surfaced again, only half of the wreckage of the huge dragon ship remained...... (To be continued.) )
