Chapter 2360: Overturning Sea Wall
Over the Devil's Sea, the sky in the distance began to pile up layers of dark clouds.
A cargo ship with the Blue Tongue Shipping logo slowed down suddenly.
"The danger index of the sea ahead began to rise. Judging from the rolling of dark clouds and the degree of sea breeze, there is a certain probability of forming a sea wall." The navigator in a blue and yellow uniform stood on the top deck, looking at the distant sky and muttering in a low voice.
"Then should we still go through it?" asked the captain.
The navigator hesitated for a moment: "If it's just the wind and waves, we should have no problem going through it. But if there is really a sea wall..."
The navigator also began to hesitate. After all, it was the Devil's Sea. Even if their ship had been through hundreds of battles, if they encountered a disaster like a sea wall that was enough to drown them, they would still be doomed. However, a sea wall is not so easy to appear. It is said that there is a certain probability of occurrence, but this probability is not high, estimated to be about one in thirty, in fact, you can gamble.
The navigator told the captain what he was thinking.
However, the captain was a little undecided at this time. After being unable to make a decision for a long time, the captain gritted his teeth and knocked on the door of the guardian's room.
Blue Tongue Shipping, as one of the few shipping companies that can trade back and forth in the Devil's Sea, is naturally supported by extraordinary power. And there is also a guardian on this freighter, a male wizard respectfully called Hailong.
"Master Hailong..." The captain trembled and told the situation.
Hailong was impatient because his meditation was interrupted. But after all, this was related to the safety of the freighter, so he stood up, opened the balcony door, and looked out.
Just a glance, Hailong said to the captain: "Go through."
The captain was stunned for a moment: "Master, do you see if there is a sea wall?"
Hailong glanced at him: "It doesn't matter whether there is a sea wall or not now, come and see it yourself."
The captain came to the balcony, raised his head and saw the dark clouds accumulating not far away, and spreading towards their position at a very fast speed.
At this time, the captain also understood what Hailong meant. It doesn't matter whether the inverted sea wall appears or not, because they have been "targeted" by the sea area that is about to blow a storm.
The captain didn't expect that the outside world would change so much in just a few minutes of looking for the sea dragon. Now there is no choice at all, and there is no escape, so he can only fight.
"I understand." The captain signaled the seamen not to stop and cross the sea where the rainstorm is coming!
A few minutes later, the rainstorm came and the wind blew.
Half an hour later, the rainstorm not only did not weaken, but became denser. The storm did not stop at all, and even became more and more wild, comparable to a hurricane. The freighter kept swaying, even though it was very large, in this weather, it was not much different from a small boat that could capsize at any time.
Almost all the personnel were transferred to the inside of the hull, but even if they were far away from the outside world, they could hear the tearing wind. This kind of wind made even the men who lived on the sea all year round pale.
It was like a doomsday bloody wind that was urging death.
At this time, the captain, two vice-captains, and two navigators all gathered in the guard's room. They looked at the sea in the distance through the glass wall, and their faces were all livid.
Because the waves on the sea in the distance began to rise and rise until the sky.
It was like a tall water wall connected to the clouds.
This is the inverted sea wall, which was sucked into the sky by the extremely special cloud wind. When it fell, it was so powerful that it could overturn the sea.
"What are you afraid of, it will come." The navigator was like in a dream, mumbling helplessly.
"A sea wall, as long as we control it in time, we should be able to survive it." A vice captain said.
As soon as the voice fell, more than one sea wall rose from the distance, slapping him in the face.
"Even if there are so many sea walls, as long as we take this route, there is still a way to bypass it." It was still this vice captain.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sea wall was raised again a dozen miles in front of the freighter, blocking all the routes of the freighter.
Vice Captain: "It's okay..."
"Shut up! If you're talking, do you believe I'll throw you out?" Hailong roared.
The vice captain, who had a crow's mouth, silently stepped back a few steps and tried to hide behind other people. But everyone was speechless about this man. Whatever he said, he would come. They dodged one after another, fearing that they would be contaminated by bad luck.
Hailong snorted coldly, and did not deal with him. Instead, he took out something from a hidden cabinet in the room with a serious face.
It was a transparent glass bottle. The bottle was not filled with liquid, but a very strange white smoke, like a miniature cloud.
"You should know it. This is the floating cloud bottle issued by the top."
Everyone nodded. The floating cloud bottle is a treasure that the shipping company allocates to all cargo ships. After using it, the cargo ship can float to a high altitude for a short time to avoid danger.
In the past five years, this cargo ship has not used the floating cloud bottle, but this time, a large number of inverted sea walls appeared, and there was no way out. It could only borrow the floating cloud bottle to seek a glimmer of life.
Hailong walked to the window with the Floating Cloud Bottle, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and sighed heavily: "Even with the Floating Cloud Bottle, it is not necessarily safe."
Because they don't know how high the inverted sea wall is, whether it exceeds the upper limit of the height of the Floating Cloud Bottle.
There may be lightning and thunder in the clouds, can the freighter pass smoothly?
These are all problems that cannot be considered for the time being, and they are all unknown dangers. But compared to these unknowns, the current dangers need to be solved more urgently, so the floating cloud bottle still needs to be used.
Hailong did not hesitate and directly removed the stopper. A large amount of cloud gas poured out of the bottle. These clouds seemed to have independent consciousness and gathered at the bottom of the freighter.
Like cloud soil, the freighter was lifted out of the sea and continued to climb to high altitudes.
Soon, they entered the cloud layer. As soon as they arrived here, Hailong sensed the activity of the surrounding electric particles, and the electric snakes shuttled through the clouds.
As long as these electric snakes hit the freighter, all of them would be finished. So, there was no choice but to continue to rise.
They were lucky. During the process of rising, they did not encounter the peeping of electric snakes. They successfully passed through the first layer of low clouds.
But what they didn't expect was that even after passing through the first layer of low clouds, the inverted sea wall in the distance had not yet seen the end. The inverted sea wall has been connected to a higher place.
That is to say, even at this height, they couldn't avoid the inverted sea wall.
They could only continue to rise.
When they arrived at the second layer of clouds, everyone held their breath and waited for the moment to pass through the clouds.
The cloud layer was successfully passed, but the cloud gas in the floating cloud bottle was also consumed, which meant that the freighter had reached the upper limit and could not continue to rise.
However, even here, they did not see the end of the inverted sea wall.
"It's over, it's completely over this time." Everyone looked at this scene in despair, and some even knelt on the ground, with a look of daze.
"This time, the inverted sea wall is really going to fall. Even an island whale can be smashed into meat paste." Not to mention their ship, it will definitely be smashed to pieces.
Hailong's face was also pale. At this time, he was no longer considering the safety of the entire ship, but his own safety.
He had a flying vehicle, so he should be able to fly to a higher place to avoid the inverted sea wall. But as a second-level apprentice, his magic power is not enough to support him flying in the Devil's Sea, so he still needs to land. In the past, there were freighters for him to rest and meditate, but if the freighter is gone, he doesn't know if he can leave alive.
"Master Hailong, what should we do now?" Everyone looked at Hailong, pinning their hopes on this only extraordinary person.
Hailong didn't speak, but came to the side silently and pulled down the magic carpet hanging on the wall.
The magic carpet is his flying vehicle. Others also knew about this, so when they saw Hailong's actions, they also understood the seriousness of the matter.
Even the guardian couldn't solve it, they might really be finished.
"The magic carpet can carry up to four people, I can take you away." Hailong looked at everyone: "You have five people now, which means that one person still has to stay on the ship."
"You choose it yourself, or I will choose it."
"Even if you choose it, don't think it will be easy. Because even if you leave now, there is no guarantee that you can survive later."
Hailong threw this fatal choice question over.
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they were all silent. They were all comrades in arms on weekdays, but when it came to life and death, they were completely confused.
"No time to waste on you. If you don't get a result in half a minute, I will choose." Hailong looked at the increasingly turbulent sea wall in the distance and scolded.
At this time, the captain came out: "I have worked on this freighter for 20 years, and I have already regarded it as my home. Since my home is destroyed, why am I still alive? I, I will stay."
The others were silent.
Hailong looked at the captain deeply: "Okay, you stay, and the others are ready to leave with me."
Hailong waved lightly, and the magic carpet was spread on the ground, signaling everyone to come up.
Just when the magic carpet was full and Hailong was about to take others out of the freighter, a ray of light suddenly flashed in the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a dreamy flying boat with flowing light appearing in the sky. This flying boat with the starry sky as a yarn came from a distance and slowly docked right above them.
Others couldn't see the situation inside the flying boat, but Hailong, as a wizard apprentice, could clearly feel that there was a powerful and powerful person on the flying boat, and his eyes swept over them.
Even the other party locked his eyes on Hailong.
This kind of gaze that can make the skin tremble must come from a formal wizard!
Hailong knew very well how terrifying formal wizards were. Moreover, formal wizards generally have bad tempers, and the probability of being targeted by formal wizards is very high.
Is this... a house leaking and encountering a rainstorm? Just escaped a disaster, and immediately entered the second disaster?
Hailong felt a little desperate.
"It's coming down, it's coming down... The flying boat is coming down!" The two navigators next to him exclaimed.
Hailong also raised his head tremblingly, and sure enough, he saw the dreamlike flying boat slowly descending from the sky.
One hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters... until it was about ten meters away from them, the flying boat stopped.
Hailong secretly glanced at the people on the flying boat.
It was a young man in loose robes, lazily leaning on the seat, with some messy red hair casually draped over his forehead, and with his somewhat droopy golden eyes, he gave people a sense of world-weary laziness.
Hailong didn't dare to look at the other person for too long, just looked at him respectfully and lowered his head.
Searching the database in his mind, he was sure that he had never seen the other person.
But it was also possible that the other person was disguised.
"These humans can actually fly on a blanket?"
A crisp and childish voice came from the flying boat. Hailong took a sneak peek and found that the one who spoke was a hand hanging on the young man's back.
The hand can actually speak? When Hailong was surprised, the other party spoke again.
"Oh my God, am I seeing right? The ship over there is so big? Such a big ship can fly to the sky, terrible!"
"Damn, compared with the gondola, we lost."
Hailong:...Is this a mockery or a true statement? You can tell who lost by looking at the appearance.
Everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak. The only one who spoke big words was the chattering hand.
"Okay, if you talk too much, I will continue to lock you up." The young man said.
"There is no fireplace here..."
"You can still be locked up without a fireplace. Do you want to try?"
"Okay." The hand murmured in a low voice aggrieved: "I just said a big truth. We lost anyway."
"Shut up." The young man said unhappily.
The hand stopped talking, and the sea dragon on the magic carpet was relieved, because although the words said by this hand were ignorant, from a certain perspective, they were also roasting them on the fire.
However, although the hand was quiet, it was not completely stable. Because it jumped directly onto the magic carpet, like a patrolling general, it circled around the magic carpet and looked up and down at the people on the magic carpet.
Facing this strange hand, everyone dared not move or say anything.
"This blanket is quite comfortable, soft and warm, much better than the gondola!"
Sea dragon: ... Please stop talking.
"Dangros, put away your flames!"
The young man on the flying boat shouted, and the others looked at the hand, but saw that the hand rolling on the magic carpet was surrounded by flames at some point. And the blanket under it had been burned with a burn hole.
After being shouted at, Dangros came back to his senses in a daze, but at this time, the hole on the magic carpet had begun to expand.
Dangros fell from the burnt hole before he could react.
He landed on the balcony on the top floor of the freighter.
The magic carpet of the flight control also lost some of its flying function because of the hole burned in it. With a burst of exclamations, everyone fell down one after another.
"Idiot, I'll put you in solitary confinement immediately when I get back." The young man cursed and jumped off the flying boat.
At this time, everyone else was confused, only Hailong was trembling.
Hailong had already guessed that this hand was probably a fire element creature. The fire released unconsciously could burn through the magic carpet, which showed that its strength was extremely strong. It was estimated that ten of them would not be enough to burn the other party.
Facing this hand, he was already powerless. Not to mention that there was a more powerful official wizard.
There was a sea wall in front, fire element creatures and official wizards behind, and the only magic carpet for escape was also useless. Are they really going to die here this time?
