Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Great Storm
"Zuo Manrudder! Stinky boy, are you blind!
"I can't turn around!. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Wang Chen closed his eyes and shook his head violently, the hazy world was instantly clear for a few seconds, Mo Jiang's figure was like a little mung bean in the sky-high waves, the bottom of the boat hit a hard object fiercely, and with a click, the hull of the ship desperately leaned to the side. Mo Jiang's great sword was like a ship's penny, and it was pressed against the reef with great force, and the huge force almost folded it into an arch. It was almost with the strength of the milk that the great sword was straightened, and the boat shot out and fell back into the sea.
The wind blew the ship almost out of the sea, and the storm was so violent that it was impossible to lift one's head with raindrops the size of quail eggs. Ai Shanxi gritted his teeth and grabbed the rope that tied the goods, and as soon as he let go, the boxes and buckets would directly disperse and be blown into the sea by the wind. Li Shu ran around against the wind, threw bundles of planks into the cabin, and stood in waist-deep water, struggling to repair huge holes.
"Stinky boy, protect the hull with a big shield. General Mo shouted as he took the lead in pulling out a large shield and blocking the side of the ship. On the other side, Wang Chen also decisively gave up the helm, and quickly ran to the other side of the boat, stretching out the big shield.
The sea water hit the big shield with a loud "bang, bang" sound, which made people tremble when they heard it.
I don't know how long it took, Wang Chen felt that he was about to lose his shield. The sound of the knocking outside slowly subsided. General Mo took his shield and sat down against the side of the boat to gasp, the rain was still falling, but it was not so violent, and the raindrops turned from quail eggs to soybeans. The waves were still a little high, and the boat was rocking so that the exhausted people were a little unsteady on their feet.
"If there is another storm like this, the ship will not be able to sail. Yan Hou got up from under the cabin and said worriedly, he almost re-nailed the walls of the entire cabin. If there is another big storm, even if the ship does not fall apart, then there will be absolutely no extra planks to repair again.
Wang Chen looked at him and raised his hand, "Let's rest first, and I'll talk about it next time." ”
Yan Hou nodded, but did not sit down, turned around and walked to the helm again, "We have been at sea for almost two months. He sighed softly and said thoughtlessly.
Hearing this, everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to the rough sea. On the shore, he was chased by the Four Elephant Pavilion and ran everywhere, but it was even more difficult at sea. Although there are no pursuers, the challenges of nature are even more overwhelming. Storms, tides, whirlpools, turbulence... It's been a miserable month.
"yes, there's not much water or food. Ai Shanxi jumped down from the pile of goods and said quietly.
"Hmph! I don't even have to drink alcohol. General Mo knocked on the side of the boat, and with a stretch of his hand, he pressed down a piece of upturned wood.
Wang Chen looked around at everyone, his gaze touched everyone, and that person threw his gaze to the sea in the distance. The two-month voyage was a little less labor-intensive than the one in the Great Snow Mountain, but there was a lot of despair in my heart. From left to right, from front to back, there is a reckless and vast sea, which does not change all day and day long. Although everyone has overcome seasickness, the feeling of not being on the ground is not pleasant.
The most terrifying thing is the fear of being swallowed by the sea at any time and at any time.
There is still a way out on the snowy mountain, and the snowy mountain itself will not take the initiative to attack. But the sea is different, from the moment they came out, they were destined to just win or lose, and gamble!
Wang Chen stood up and slowly paced along the bow to the stern. Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, Ai Shanxi didn't speak, Li Shu pursed his lips, and walked slowly after him.
"Ah Chen!... Yan Hou was holding the raindrops on his head, and as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Wang Chen's outstretched hand.
He slowly walked to the stern of the boat, stood there and looked at the rolling sea, for a long time, and said slowly, "Tomorrow, if we can't find it again, we will return to the sea." ”
Everyone looked at his back silently, Mo Jiang nodded slightly, this child has really become everyone's backbone now, and he has finally grown into a man who can take responsibility.
Wang Chen stood on the deck and watched the rain for half the night, except for Mo Jiang, the others also stayed with him for half the night.
It stands to reason that when the day dawns, the rain will stop. But this time it didn't, not only did the rain not stop, but even the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it was impossible to see the dawn at all. The turbulent waves knocked the boat left and right, but Wang Chen kept standing on the bow with a serious expression, not moving at all.
"Ah Hou, Zuo Manrudder!" Suddenly, he opened his throat and shouted, his voice was not very clear against the wind, but Yan Hou still reacted immediately.
Left full rudder. The bow of the ship crossed an arc on the surface of the sea, "snapped" and hit a wave, Yan Hou held the rudder in one hand, and picked up the long stick beside him with the other hand, and swept it out with a stick, and a brown light broke the wave before the bow of the boat. On the other side, as soon as the bow of the boat, which was originally perpendicular to the waves, turned away, the fierce waves hit the fragile flanks. Wang Chen grabbed the side of the ship, jumped out of half of his body, and pushed out a large shield to block the huge waves.
"Keep moving forward!" Wang Chen protected the hull of the ship from being overturned, so he couldn't spare his hands to do anything else, so he could only shout loudly.
The huge waves on the front caused many small crests to cross the direction of the boat, and Yan Hou held the rudder with one hand, and tried to break those small crests with the other hand, but one hand was not so active after all.
"Ah Hou, you go. When he was in trouble, two girls had already run to his side, and one of them helped him grab the helm, "Let's take the helm." ”
Yan Hou looked at Li Shu hesitantly, and the latter nodded firmly. Yan Hou let go of the rudder, took a leap, and smashed into the waves with a stick.
After advancing for a full nautical mile or two with difficulty, Wang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's just ahead!" he shouted, and everyone couldn't help but get excited.
The expression of stern joy lingered on his face for less than three seconds, and was immediately replaced by an inexplicable fear, "No! Run!" He leaped back to the deck, and took three steps and two steps to grab the helm.
At the same time, everyone else saw what was in front of them.
There was a turquoise whirlpool in the center of the dark blue foaming water, and all the surrounding water rushed to it, gurgling and pouring in. The huge suction devours everything around it, whether it is fish or seaweed, there is no escape. Naturally, the same is true of their ships.
Yan Hou pulled the rudder a few times, but found that even with his strength, he couldn't shake the rudder at all.
"This is it!" Wang Chen shouted loudly as he ran towards them. The alarmed Mo Jiang stood in the hatch, only to feel a gust of wind passing through him.
"It's over if you're dragged in!" Yan Hou, Li Su, and Ai Shanxi continued to use their strength to pull the rudder.
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Chen paused slightly as he passed by them, and gently patted Li Shu's head. Immediately after that, he jumped into the sea, "Big sword slash!" The big sword struck, the boat turned a sharp turn, and another sword, and the boat shot forward a lot. Yan Houyi gritted his teeth, jumped down and pushed the boat up by force.
I just pushed it twice, but suddenly I relaxed. It rained suddenly, and a ray of light pierced the clouds and shot down.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that only a faint green circle of light was left faintly floating on the surface of the sea. The stormy waves at the beginning, together with Wang Chen, all disappeared without a trace.
