Chapter Forty-Eight: The Great Storm
On the "Changfeng" that broke the waves, Li Gongfu walked to the side of the waves like a walking corpse, and said in a condensed voice: "After finding the lair of Haigongzi, if the situation allows, Li can give you a chance to take revenge with his own hands." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
"Thank you Master Li for your success!" Lang Lifei's body shook violently, and he fell to the ground and bowed to Li Gongfu again and again.
Li Gongfu shook his head and sighed: "You don't have to worship me." I'm not for you, but for the hundreds of souls on the island. If it were up to you to avenge them, I believe they would have eliminated their grievances and re-entered reincarnation as soon as possible. As for you, you still have to pay for your life for your past crimes, and this will not change in any way!"
Lang Lifei kowtowed again, but his face was surprisingly calm: "The villain knows in his heart, as long as he gets revenge, he is willing to bow down to the law and be punished!"
At this time, Gu Changfeng suddenly stepped forward from behind, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "Lord Li, I'm afraid the situation at sea is a little bad. โ
Li Gongfu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Changfeng said: "Today's sea breeze and tide are a little abnormal, judging by various signs, Gu suspects that there will be a rare big storm." But the strangest thing is that there should never be such a storm at this time, which Gu can pack a ticket with half a lifetime of sailing experience. โ
Li Gongfu's face also became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "If there is really a storm, can we find an island to take shelter from?"
Gu Changfeng shook his head and said: "Gu Mou knows in the sea area near here, there is no island for mooring boats. For the sake of today's plan, only with Gu's half-life experience in sailing and this painstakingly built 'Changfeng' to win or lose a bet with God!"
Seeing that he was so arrogant, Li Gongfu also admired himself in his heart, and immediately smiled and said: "Since this is the case, all of us will put our lives in the hands of the ancient ship owner as a bet, depending on how you can gamble with God!"
Gu Changfeng also stopped talking, and gave a long laugh in return, and then stood on the deck and shouted loudly, asking all the sailors to act urgently and prepare for the storm.
Another hour or so passed, and although it was still just past noon, the sky suddenly darkened, and the sky as far as the eye could see was completely obscured by a large mass of dark clouds, and the sea breeze blew more and more tightly, and the waves on the sea were one after the other, one higher than the other. At this time, even Li Gongfu and other seafaring laymen also knew that a big storm was inevitable.
"Lower the sails!" Gu Cheng, you arrange for three groups of people to carry axes and saws to guard the mast, and as soon as you hear my order, you will immediately cut off the mast!"
"Move all fresh water to the bilge, make sure it is sealed properly, and don't get mixed with the sea!"
"Everyone stay on deck and choose a place to tie themselves up to prevent being swept into the sea by the waves!"
......
"Quaint, you have the greatest strength of all the people on board. I have put the rudder in your hands, and I have given you the life of the ship!"
Gu Changfeng's face was gloomy than the sky as dark as night, but the instructions he gave were orderly.
"Wait!" When he heard the last command, Li Gongfu stood up to stop the sturdy man who was about to go back to the helm, and turned his head to Gu Changfeng, "Master Gu, the one with the most strength on this ship is Li." โ
Without waiting for everyone to object, he scooped up the anchor at his feet, and under the gaze of a pair of widening eyes, he straightened and bent the wrought iron anchor teeth with his hand.
In the past six months, with the help of a large number of spirit stones obtained from the "Lock Demon Building", he has assisted in cultivating the "Heavenly Punishment Technique" in which the three of the three are working together, such as physical training, qi training, and spiritual training, and his cultivation can be said to be a thousand miles in a day. In terms of the effect of physical training alone, the brute strength contained in his body, which is still in the crowd but medium, is not exaggerated to describe it with the words used to praise the peerless generals in the so-called "pushing eight horses horizontally, dragging nine oxen upside down, four elephants but holding iron into mud" and other comments.
Putting the iron anchor back in its place under the dull gaze of everyone, Li Gongfu patted the quaint beside him again and said: "But Li doesn't know how to take the helm, so he still needs this quaint brother to help." โ
Gu Changfeng knew that this was not the time to be polite, if Li Gongfu, who had shown such inhuman divine power, would control the rudder, the chances of surviving in the upcoming storm would indeed increase exponentially, and even if he ordered Na Gu to lead Li Gongfu to the rear rudder, and do everything possible to help him control the rudder.
As the torrential rain that began to pour down like a river from the beginning fell, the great storm predicted by the ancient long wind finally arrived. The wild hurricane swept up the huge waves that formed a white wall, and slammed fiercely towards the "Long Wind" that floated like a dead leaf on the sea.
Everything on the deck was shattered by the roaring waves. Fortunately, the main hull of this ship has been improved and renovated countless times by Gu Changfeng, a wealthy man who is obsessed with sailing, and it is more robust than ordinary sea ships, so it still remains generally intact despite the ravages of the wind and waves.
At the back of the ship, Li Gongfu's feet were firmly planted on the deck mountain, which was as steady as a mountain town, and no matter how violent the wind and waves were, he would not move at all. He held the rudder firmly with both hands, and steered the rudder according to the quaint instructions of the man who had tied himself to the side of the ship. It's just that at this moment, the sails on the rear mast of the "Long Wind" have already been lowered, and even the mast has been cut off and abandoned, and the rudder can only slightly control the general direction of travel in such a storm.
I don't know how long it took, Li Gongfu suddenly felt that the tiller in his hand was light, and he couldn't use his strength anymore. He knew something was wrong, and turned his head to look at the ancient.
Gu Pu is already like ashes: "The rudder is afraid that it will not be able to withstand the great force of the wind and waves, and now we can only resign ourselves to fate." โ
Before the words fell, another series of huge waves slapped sideways, and the whole ship tilted into an extremely terrible angle and moved out sideways, and the man could no longer control it.
Li Gongfu sighed, let go of the useless tiller, and said loudly to Gu Pu: "You stay here, I'll go to the ancient ship owner to discuss countermeasures!"
Although the whole ship was sideways for a while, tilted and swayed for a while, rotated like a top for a while, and from time to time there were big waves sweeping across the deck, but Li Gongfu took root under his feet when he walked, and he was not affected by the wind and waves at all, and walked to Gu Changfeng's side step by step.
At this moment, Gu Changfeng tied himself to the mainmast, which was only half a man high. Seeing Li Gongfu coming, he asked with a wry smile, "The rudder is broken?"
Li Gongfu smiled bitterly, nodded but did not speak.
Gu Changfeng actually laughed genuinely: "The hull of my 'Changfeng' should still be able to withstand the destruction of wind and waves, as long as it doesn't hit the reef even more unlucky, there is no need to worry about damage." In that case, let's see where this storm is going to send us!"
