The sky became dark, as if darkness had fallen early.
The lightning dancing in the dark clouds flickers on and off like a lightbulb with unstable voltage.
There was a faint sound of thunder in the clouds, as if the sea god was roaring.
The waves rolled up by the hurricane were tens of meters high, pushing them layer by layer, like a moving high-rise building, crashing down on the sky and the earth.
If you want to survive in the wind and waves, you must move forward against the wind.
Only by facing the wind and waves and standing on the cusp of the waves can we be proud of this unpredictable ocean.
Those who can survive in such a sea mostly have extraordinary courage and wild characters. They are either unruly, resolute, bold and open-minded, or fierce and domineering.
Only in this way can we bravely advance in the rapids and face the wind.
Under the command of the captain, the sailors on the Potato rowed hard and issued orders one after another. The sails were lowered and swayed, while the helmsman desperately controlled the balance of the ship and headed against the huge waves. On the boat, the sailors shouted their trumpets and moved in unison.
Shen Yi stood on the bow deck of the ship, his feet rooted to the surface of the ship, motionless.
In front of the majestic power of heaven and earth, he neither resisted nor flinched. He just faced, gazed, admired, and then savored it carefully, as if he was admiring a painting, completely unaware that he was in the painting.
This is of course due to his own strength, but it is also related to his water-based specialization ability.
Basic water-based specialization: Not affected by special water terrain such as boats. When fighting in the water, all attacks, movement and attack speed are reduced by half, and the tolerance to water life is increased.
The basic water-based specialization greatly enhanced his adaptability to the sea. This alone cost the Broken Blade Team a full 10,000 points.
"Shen Yi! The wind and waves are very strong! The boat seems to be unable to hold up!" The calls of King Kong, Hong Lang and others came from the channel.
"Did an appetizer before the official mission stump you?"
"This appetizer is a bit hard and stuck in my throat!"
"Don't worry, the ship won't be destroyed that easily. Otherwise, how can we carry out the mission?" Shen Yi said and looked at the sky above his head: "But it seems we still have to do something to ensure safety."
"do what?"
"Then it depends on what the trouble is." Shen Yi replied leisurely.
A fierce wave hit a sailor and threw him into the ocean. The sailor danced in the air and screamed.
Without raising his head, Shen Yi raised his right hand and flew his claws across the sky to grab the sailor, and forcefully snatched him back from the hands of the Poseidon.
The sailor plopped down on the ground and looked around in surprise. Apparently he still couldn't figure out why he came back. He had already been kicked in the butt by the first mate: "Asshole, go to work as soon as you are alive! Turn the corner twelve degrees." !”
The sailor was running around doing things like shit.
Shen Yi watched this scene calmly and said loudly: "Everyone, please protect the sailors! Without enough sailors, the ship's ability to move will be greatly restricted."
"knew!"
"In addition, this storm should be a good opportunity for us to join together. Everyone should approach Wen Wen immediately. Wen Wen, go as far as possible and rush to the front!"
"clear!"
Shen Yi walked quickly towards the captain.
Courtney, the captain of the Potato, was roaring and ordering the sailors to fight against the storm. He tied himself to the mainmast, waved his hat, and held a bottle of rum in his hand, shouting: "Come on, my children! Work harder! This bad weather can't last much longer! The light is just around the corner!"
Shen Yi came to Courtney and asked, "Do you need any help from me? Captain."
Courtney looked at Shen Yi in surprise: "How did you get up here?"
He found that Shen Yi had grasped the mast with only one hand, and then sat beside him easily. Although the storm had made his body wet, his expression was as casual as if he was taking a bath in a hot spring.
"It's not important, Captain. I'm asking you. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, no need, kid, it's just a little storm, it's no big deal. We can get through it soon."
"Little Fenglang?" Shen Yi looked at the captain with some suspicion.
Courtney scratched his scalp and corrected himself: "It's not too small, but it's definitely not the worst I've ever seen."
"In this case, maybe I can ask you to deflect your course slightly and head southwest!"
"That's not easy. It's difficult for us to maintain normal sailing in such a storm. We have to adjust our position according to the wind direction, otherwise if there is a crosswind, you know what the consequences will be!"
"Of course, the boat will be blown over. But in this case, the force of the crosswind is not strong. Maybe we can withstand it?"
"I think it's difficult unless there is enough ballast to make our ship more stable."
"How heavy does it need to be?"
"At least twenty tons."
boom.
Two huge metal arms suddenly appeared on the Potato's deck, causing the entire ship to sink into the water.
Everyone was stunned, and Courtney himself looked at Shen Yi in shock: "God, that's..."
"Ballast." Shen Yi replied: "Almost twenty tons. I can adjust the weight according to your needs, as long as you can let me pass through this area quickly."
Only Shen Yi could use a reaper to ballast the ship. If the reaper was wise, he would surely cry silently.
Courtney rolled his eyes: "You must be the son of Poseidon, you must be!"
"Even if he is, he's just a stepson."
The Potato moved forward bravely in the wind and waves.
Shen Yi no longer pays attention to sailing, and leaves professional matters to professional people. Even Shen Yi may not be able to perform better than professional sailors in this vast ocean.
The storm at sea is still fierce.
It is always difficult for people who have never experienced stormy waves to imagine how people can protect themselves in the face of the majestic power of heaven and earth. The sailors cursed loudly in the bad weather, worked bravely, and tried hard to control the wooden ship so that it would not capsize. Enter some time ago With his strong knowledge of sailing ships, Shen Yi can understand to some extent what the sailors are doing and why they are doing it, which allows him to occasionally help out. Those adventurers who passively enter the world of Pirates of the Caribbean are in bad luck.
One hour of preparation is simply not enough for them to learn and understand boating knowledge, and water-based specialization is not a must-have for every adventurer. Many people have not even done the most basic preparations, and even forget to equip them with compasses and charts. , on the boat as the wind and waves bumped around, I felt dizzy and screamed.
Occasionally, when a wave hits, one or two sailors will be knocked off the ship. Some adventurers who are too preoccupied with themselves have no time to worry about the lives and deaths of "insignificant" sailors.
However, as the storm gets bigger and bigger, these people have to pay the price.
A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, splitting the mast of a ship on the sea into two pieces.
The mainmast collapsed, and the sailors fled in panic. The ship was unmanned and began to tilt in the wind and waves.
When a big wave came over, it pushed the boat hard from the side, like a hand pushing lightly on a toy, and the boat turned over...
The storm will not break the ship, but it can capsize it.
Seeing all this through the telescope, Shen Yi sighed.
"One out," he said.
"Could it be someone from the Blood Stinging Team?" Wen Wen asked.
"I don't know, the night is too dark and the distance is too far, so I can't see clearly. But I think they shouldn't be that bad."
"I really hope they are that bad." Hong Lang muttered.
The channel was filled with everyone’s laughter.
For adventurers who have not yet been able to control nature and whose strength has not yet surpassed the heavens, the battle at sea is about comprehensive strength, water resistance, ships, ship control knowledge, and people's understanding and adaptability to nature. The degree of utilization of weather changes is greater than that of various unplanned factors.
Shen Yi didn't know whether the Thornblood Team could survive this storm, but he knew that if he felt bad, Xie Rongjun would definitely not feel better.
The storm in front of me was like a roaring hurricane in a secret room, with a low and strange whirling sound. The wind and waves rose up one after another, washing over the surface of the ship.
Looking at the raging storm, Shen Yi's eyes shone with excitement.
He opened his arms and suddenly shouted to the sky: "Let the storm come more violently!"
The rumbling sound seemed to satisfy Shen Yi's needs. In the vast dark night, shrill lightning struck down...
The storm is like a naughty god, playing with adventurers.
Xie Rongjun's face has turned purple. The "Little Widow" is now entirely supported by experienced captains and sailors. Although he has powerful superhuman strength, he can't help at all. His dragon flame sword is indestructible. But he can cut through the storm; the blood sword technique is unparalleled, but it can't repel the thunder; the guard fortress can protect itself, but it can't protect the merchant ships; this damn mission has made him fall into passivity from the beginning, and for it pain.
"Captain! The ship can't hold on anymore!" a team member shouted in the channel.
"Shut up! How many strong winds and waves have come, can one Pirates of the Caribbean stun us all? This storm is just a prelude to the mission, just to get rid of some unqualified adventurers. If our Sanguine Team can't even reach this level, If you can't pass, then die as soon as possible!" Xie Rongjun's thunderous fury reached the ears of every team member through the team channel: "Guard your ship and protect the sailors. I believe that this storm created by the city must be critical. Point! It cannot create an uncontrolled storm!"
After all, Xie Rongjun, a veteran adventurer, also saw the crux of the problem.
After all, this storm is just a cover to scare people. As long as there are no problems, you can get through it.
However, as if to mock Shen Yi and Xie Rongjun's predictions, the weather suddenly changed at this moment.
A huge tornado swirled up in the center of the ocean. The spiraling wind column reached straight into the sky, connected to the clouds above and the sea water below. It was like a giant standing tall on the sky, sucking the sea water into the air, pouring out a canopy of water clouds, and falling from the sky. , creating a violent storm in an area.
"Oh, hell!"
All the captains and adventurers on this route simultaneously exclaimed in amazement.
Although this spectacular sight was shocking, it also made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom. Even Shen Yi stared at the huge wind pillar in stunned silence, wondering what would happen if this tornado rolled towards him. Disaster consequences.
Is it possible that Bloody City plans to catch all the adventurers before the official mission begins?
The wind column was rotating rapidly, whining and roaring across the sea. Lightning struck one after another, illuminating the night sky with uncertainty. The sound of wind in my ears was like the roar of a large truck engine, which made people feel dizzy. It also puts people's minds to a huge test at this moment.
A trace of despair rose in everyone's heart.
At this moment, a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared on the horizon.
The sun breaks through the dark clouds and shines onto the ground.
Although it is just a wisp, it brings infinite vitality.
Suddenly, the huge tornado disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.
The storm comes and recedes quickly, the dark clouds in the sky disperse and disappear, and the light returns to the sky.
The hurricane ceased and the sea surface suddenly returned to calm.
Everything happened so suddenly. The sea, which was violent and turbulent just now, became like a gentle woman under the thin light. The slight waves hit the side of the ship and only made a calm sound of water splash.
"What...what's going on?" everyone shouted.
Why did the storm suddenly disappear?
"Shen Yi, do you know what's going on?"
Shen Yi did not answer.
He was enjoying the beautiful scene in front of him.
Under the blue sky, flocks of seagulls flew by, and the sun shone brightly in the refraction of the waves. Some ships on the sea were raising their sails again. After experiencing the storm, the adventurers were on their way again.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "I don't know how the storm disappeared suddenly, but maybe we will see the answer soon."
It seemed to confirm what Shen Yi said.
The calm sea suddenly became rippled again.
A large ship with a strange shape suddenly jumped out of the water. The huge spikes on the bow opened like a shark's mouth, and the image was as ferocious as a terrifying giant beast in the sea.
The speed of the ship was extremely fast. As soon as it broke out of the water, it headed towards a merchant ship at high speed, and its unusually long spikes pierced straight into the end of the merchant ship!
"Ghost ship! It's a ghost ship!" All the adventurers shouted.
"The Flying Dutchman..." Shen Yi also murmured to himself: "I think we know how the storm stopped, right? Some people think that the ghost ship is easier to deal with than the storm..."
