Qin Sang's eyes moved and said: "I am not worried about the storm, but Lu Qiuhong has more than ten sailboats, which will definitely guard the surrounding sea. If our ship is surrounded and intercepted by them, I am afraid there will be trouble.
.”
"Putuo" Lingyin Master also said: "What Qin Nuxia said is true, I also have this concern. If we fight hand to hand, we are not afraid, but if Lu Qiuhong attacks with artillery, it will be difficult to deal with it."
Peng San laughed "haha" and said: "You must have never seen a storm on the sea to think like this. Hehe, when this big storm comes, the giant langur is higher than the mountain. The hull of our treasure ship is huge.
, I can't sail those small speedboats in normal times, but in the storm, I am much stronger than them. When the time comes, I, Peng San, will personally take the helm, so you can rest assured!"
Others may not know Peng San's ability, but Nangong Qi has a deep understanding of this short man's boating skills, and he said happily: "That's good, then I will have to work hard for Mr. Peng San!"
Peng San apologized and said with a smile: "It's easy to talk to. Master Nangong, you don't have to be polite."
The setting sun in the distance slowly sank into the sea water, the sky became dark, and the angry wind lanterns were lit in the cabin.
There was still no wind around, and it was completely silent. Even the sound of the waves could not be heard, but the stars in the sky did not appear, but turned into a gray color.
A storm is a dangerous and terrifying celestial phenomenon for sailors sailing on the sea, but now hundreds of people on board the giant ship are all looking forward to the arrival of the storm.
Tang Zilin, who was standing outside the hatch, finally felt a hint of wind. He stared into the distance, only to see a small dark cloud appearing at the end of the horizon.
At this time, I heard Peng San say: "Master Tang, now you can send a letter to call back all the sentries on the island. If I am not mistaken, it won't take long for the hurricane to blow here and the tsunami to come."
, then the fireworks signal will not be sent out!"
Before Tang Zilin could answer, Qin Sang's expression changed and said: "What hurricane and tsunami are you talking about? Isn't it an ordinary thunderstorm?"
Peng San, however, still had a smile on his face and said calmly: "Hurricane is also wind. What does it have to do with being unusual? Do you think that an ordinary small thunderstorm can cause the tide to flood in front of this village?
?”
After hearing this, everyone in the cabin was shocked. Even Master Yuanguang, whose face had always been as calm as water, changed his expression.
The so-called "hurricane", also known as "dragon whirlwind" or "dragon fetching water", is an extremely rare storm. If ordinary thunderstorms are only slightly dangerous to sailors at sea, then when encountering them at sea,
A hurricane can be called a disaster.
Because it will not only bring strong winds and huge langs, but also form water columns in the sky, connecting with the clouds, just like the giant dragons in the sky sucking the sea water. Moreover, wherever the whirlwind passes, anything will be swept up in the air, even huge ones.
Even strong ships will inevitably be destroyed!
Sailing in hurricane weather is extremely dangerous, if not suicidal.
At this time, the original breeze in the air had slowly become stronger, and the dark clouds on the horizon were expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a moment, a large area of the sky was covered, and they were heading towards the island!
It seems that what Peng San said is not false at all, the storm will come soon.
Tang Zilin shouted: "Come here! Send off a firework signal and notify the sentries on the island to come back to the giant ship quickly!"
A Tang Sect disciple at the door responded and left.
Tang Zilin coughed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Such a hurricane is more beneficial for us to escape Lu Qiuhong's interception at sea. Now there is no other way out but to escape by boat. If anyone is not willing to take the risk,
There’s nothing wrong with staying on this island!”
Most of the people in the cabin, and even the masters of various sects, have only heard of the horrors of hurricanes and tsunamis, but have never experienced them. Some people have never even heard of them. But walking on the rivers and lakes, experiencing dangers is even more dangerous.
It's a normal thing, not to mention that under the current situation, even if you don't escape by boat, you will probably be dead. There is still some chance of survival if you take the risk.
As a result, everyone quickly regained their composure, and no one was willing to stay.
After a while of tea, the sentries on the island had gradually withdrawn to the ship, but the storm came faster than expected.
The breeze soon turned into a strong wind, and the strong wind turned into a violent wind. The dark clouds covered half of the sky, like heavy lead, dyeing the originally dark ocean surface into pitch black. The only light was
, is the lightning that jumps out from the dark clouds like a silver snake.
Through the afterglow of the instantaneous lightning, you can vaguely see that on the vast ocean in the far distance, there are turbulent waves, like huge walls, rushing towards the "Wanyi Island"!
Those big waves like giant walls are the coming tsunami. Although they are very far apart, everyone in the cabin has good eyesight and have estimated that the incoming waves are at least ten feet high!
Along with the roar of thunder, raindrops began to fall in the sky, and waves formed on the sea surface near the island.
Tang Zilin asked: "Master Peng, in your opinion, how long will it take for the tide to rise to the bottom of the mountain?"
Peng San squinted his eyes, looked at the giant lang rolling from the horizon, and said: "In a quarter of an hour, the tide will arrive. I think it will take more than half an hour at most and it will rise to the bottom of the mountain."
Tang Zilin said: "Okay, where is the Master Lei of the 'Thunderbolt Hall'? Tell him to prepare to light the gunpowder and blow up the rocks when the tide comes!"
It is not an easy task to blow up the rocks blocking the treasure ship without damaging the giant ship. However, it is not impossible for Fuzhou "Perak Hall" who is accustomed to using gunpowder. The previous Lei Hall Master was already on the rocks.
A slot has been drilled in it, the gunpowder is placed in it, and the gunpowder can be ignited and detonated just when the time comes.
But at this moment, a Tang Sect disciple was seen hurriedly running into the cabin door holding a feathered arrow. There was a paper roll tied with silk thread to the shaft of the feathered arrow in his hand. The disciple walked up to
In front of Tang Zilin, he reported: "Report to the deputy sect leader, someone just shot this arrow on the side of the ship."
Tang Zilin frowned, reached out to take the flying arrow, and asked, "Can you see who shot it?"
The disciple replied: "It's too dark to see who shot it."
Tang Zilin took off the paper roll from the arrow shaft, unfolded it and looked at it, his face instantly darkened.
He turned his eyes to Hua Bushi, who was standing by the window, and said, "Master Hua, this piece of paper is written for you."
Hua Bushi said: "Oh?" He took a few steps forward and took the paper in Tang Zilin's hand. After just one glance, his expression changed drastically.
This is a piece of paper about three inches wide, with a line of words written crookedly on it:
Mr. Hua of the evil dog door, if you want his wife to survive, come to Nanshiya immediately. Don't forget to bring the jade treasure. This line is written with an ink pen. It is very sloppy and the pen holder is messy. It is obvious that the writer did it intentionally. The purpose
I don't want others to recognize the handwriting.
On the surface, this is a standard piece of paper extorting money. When people in the underworld kidnap hostages, they usually write such extortion letters and send them to the donor. However, the appearance of this letter here and now is really strange.
Ordinary!
Now is the moment when the storm surge is approaching and everyone is about to leave the island by boat. Even if someone wants to kidnap and extort money, they should not choose to do so at this time, unless the person does not want to escape by boat at all.
As for the "jade treasure" written on the note, others might not find it different, but Hua Bushi knew clearly in his heart that it must be referring to the "Panlong Jue" he obtained in Nan'ao Town!
The person who wrote this piece of paper actually knew that "Panlong Jue" had fallen into his hands. This was enough to shock the young master!
At noon, Hai Hongzhu followed Hua Bushi and the people from the "Evil Dog Gate" to the huge ship. But now, everyone has searched the entire ship, but no trace of her can be found.
On the deck, Bai Yiling looked anxious and said, "Just a quarter of an hour ago, I saw Miss Hongzhu in the cabin. Why is she gone now?"
It was Bai Yiling's duty to take care of Hai Hongzhu, and Hua Bushi had already given her instructions. However, a storm was coming on the sea and the sky changed drastically. She couldn't help but run to the deck to watch, leaving Hai Hongzhu alone.
In the cabin. Now that Hai Hongzhu is missing, the most anxious person is Bai Yiling. Her eyes are red and she is almost crying.
Chu Yiyi, Zhu Hong and Meng Huan were also standing aside, their faces full of anxiety.
Hua Bushi stared at the piece of paper closely, and after a long while he said: "It's not Ling'er's fault. Since the other party wants to rob someone, even if you are by the side, I'm afraid they can't stop it. It seems like I have no choice but to go there."
It’s Nanshiya.”
"Master Hua, wait a minute!" The person who spoke was Tang Zilin, "Now the storm is coming, and the tide on the sea will rise to the mountain at any time. If we go to the rock cliff now, I'm afraid it will delay the opportunity to sail, which is not appropriate.
.”
Qin Sang, who was standing aside, also said: "What the Tang Sect Leader said is absolutely true. The person who kidnapped Mrs. Hua at this time must have been to delay the time for me to escape by boat. From my point of view, this kidnapping
Most of them were sent by Lu Qiuhong!"
Hua Bushi said: "Master Tang, don't worry. The tide has risen to the bottom of the mountain. When the time is right, you can blow up the rocks and sail the boat. There is no need to wait for me to come back."
When he said this, his expression was very determined, and he had obviously made the decision to go. However, Tang Zilin frowned secretly, with some hesitation in his expression.
As Qin Sang said, at this juncture, most of the kidnappers are Lu Qiuhong's people, and their purpose is self-evident. Moreover, this person is probably a member of a group of sects, and is the second person Lu Qiuhong left on the island.
Guest. Otherwise, there are so many experts from various factions on this huge ship, and there are people guarding the ship both on and off the ship. It would not be that easy for outsiders to sneak in and rob people.
Since the other party was prepared and made an appointment, it would definitely be very dangerous for Hua Bushi to go to Nanshiya with only a few people from the "Evil Dog Sect". If he wanted to protect himself wisely, Tang Zilin could of course ignore it. After all, the tide was rising and the timing of the voyage was
Don't miss it, you can't let everyone take risks for the sake of a sect.
