Chapter 295 Riding the Wind and Waves(2/2)
Just like those cowards out there!"
"Humph, I was really blind to recruit an old guy like you onto the ship!"
The sailors on the deck were like chicken blood at this moment. They tied all the available ropes to the sail to prevent the sail from being blown away in the storm later. They also filled the empty wooden barrels on the ship.
The sea water is added to increase the weight of the ship and stabilize the balance of the hull.
"You had long expected that a storm was coming, so you rejected the captain's suggestion to moor the ship in the port of Crab Island for rest, and ordered him to brave the risk of the storm to cross the Crab Island Strait." John Royce
The count came to him with great respect.
"Yes, before we set sail, I had already expected that a storm was brewing on the Strait." Gao Yuan turned his head and smiled lightly at Bronze Yoen, "It's just that I didn't dare to confirm that this storm would appear in the Strait.
It’s somewhere, but I believe it won’t be too far from Dragonstone.”
Although Gao Yuan did not have many years of experience in sailing at sea, his understanding of modern society's meteorology was not comparable to the so-called sailing experience of the old captain.
The humidity in the air suddenly increased, the air pressure in the atmosphere suddenly dropped, a cool sea breeze blew from the originally unbearably hot sea, the ocean currents accelerated abnormally, and there were abundant thunder elements everywhere within sight. These various anomalies were all in the air.
Xiang Gaoyuan showed that a powerful storm was forming in the sea around Dragonstone.
"Please forgive my curiosity, Lord Gao Yuan!" Bronze Yohn turned to look at the huge black storm cloud that was almost close to Chi Chi, "Why are you so sure that we can survive this huge storm?
"
"The most fearful thing for the girls in the flower shop is that their daughters will become maidens and captains galloping on the sea. What they fear most is encountering the storms they have encountered countless times. Except for the gods in the sky, there is no one.
What captain can be sure that his ship can survive a storm at sea?"
"It's a pity that I'm not the captain...and neither are you, Count Yohn..." A mysterious smile appeared on Gao Yuan's face, "If you are worried that you will be buried in this strait with this ship,
Central Committee, you just need to choose to believe in yourself."
"Of course, you can also choose to believe me. You can always trust the decisions I make!"
Just when John Royce was still savoring what Gao Yuan had just said, a sea storm that looked like the end of the world arrived as expected.
The wind suddenly rose on the originally calm sea, and the huge sail on the mast was blown loudly. The raging strong wind was like a pair of invisible hands, grabbing it and kneading it into any shape, just like the surrounding It was like a turbulent wave that surrounded them.
As the storm clouds completely covered the sky above them, the surrounding sea suddenly became invisible, as if the whole world was swallowed up by darkness. Even the last ray of light on the deck was covered by the waves caused by the storm. extinguished.
A huge flash of light flashed across the sky, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark world again, and then earth-shaking roars came from all directions. Then there was pouring rain on the sea, like raindrops in the sky. God heard the signal released by the thunder and lightning, tore open the sky and let the Milky Way pour down from the sky.
The waves raised by the storm were like a huge mountain, rushing towards the ship they were on. In just a moment, the entire ship was submerged in the mountain-like waves.
But the next time lightning flashed across the sky again, this small boat among the "mountains" miraculously floated up from the bottom of the sea.
The strong wind was still raging on the sea, and the dark peaks were one after another. Before the sailors on the deck had time to pull back the sail that was torn off by the huge waves, they would soon face the next falling black peak.
In front of the mighty power of nature, the sailing ship that Gao Yuan was riding on was as inconspicuous as a fallen leaf falling into the mountains. However, relying on the desperate efforts of dozens of sailors, they finally escaped from this huge storm. I survived.
During this period, the dangers they faced were almost beyond description in words. In even more critical moments, Gao Yuan had to use his long-hidden telepathy to save the lonely sail under their feet and everyone on it.
In the end, I don’t know how much time passed before they finally sailed out of the area affected by the storm. When the raging wind turned into a cool breeze, the turbulent waves gradually subsided, and the majestic heavy rain gradually became as fine as cow hair. The rest of the disaster The sailors seemed to be venting their anger on the deck and began to shout towards the sky.
When everything on the sea calmed down, a ray of golden sunshine shined on them all through the clouds. The sailors crowded to the stern of the ship, looking at the storm that was gradually moving away from them, their eyes filled with lingering memories. Ji Youcun
"Look! It's Seagull Town!"
As an exclamation sounded on the deck, everyone on the ship turned their heads and looked sideways. Taking advantage of the setting sun on the sea level, they saw the bright lighthouse in Seagull Town, which was like an everlasting towering tree. Usually, it stands on the edge of a cliff above the port, guiding the children who are lost at sea in the direction home.
