Chapter 731: Rats and Ants
The main reason why Angel chose the Xialu Sea Ridge was that he believed in the judgment of the two captains.
Moreover, the survival rate of taking the Xialu Sea Ridge is obviously the highest.
If they force the ship to sail against the wind, he and Toby may not be able to absolutely protect the Yunluo and let it sail smoothly into the Winter Channel.
If an accident occurs in the middle of the journey, the Yunluo is likely to be blown to dangerous waters. According to the information he found and the records of "The Devil's Sea" from Roman, there are even strange things in many seas that formal wizards cannot solve. If the Yunluo is unfortunate enough to crash into it, not to mention mortals, perhaps even he himself may be buried here.
Therefore, it is better to take the more familiar Xialu Sea Ridge for safety.
Maybe the Xialu witch will let them go because the Yunluo is familiar.
If they really encounter misfortune and anger the Xialu witch, the Yunluo will perish. Angel is not completely helpless. At worst, he and Toby will each capture one person and take Helen and Alvin to escape using the gravity veins.
With the speed of gravity veins, even if Witch Xialu is a formal wizard, she may not be able to catch up. Moreover, Angel did not think that Witch Xialu would come out to deal with them personally as soon as they entered Xialu Sea Ridge. Even if she did, it would probably be her servants who would do it.
At that time, once they ran away, others would definitely not be able to catch up. Then they could take a gondola and let Helen and Alwen show the way, and they could reach the Feilan Continent faster and safer.
If it weren't for the lives of a ship of sailors, Angel actually had this idea early on.
...
The hurricane arrived as expected.
Angel returned to the balcony on the third floor and asked Toby to lay a layer of gravity veins on them to maintain the center of gravity. Then he quietly watched this doomsday disaster scene.
The sea, which had been silent for nearly half a month, seemed to come alive. The sleeping dragon began to open its bloody mouth, revealing its hideous and terrifying fangs.
The Yunluo was like riding a roller coaster, with waves ranging from several meters to tens of meters high, and there was no sign of stopping.
Angel saw sailors, even with safety ropes, being thrown several meters high and then falling down suddenly. More than one person was injured and bleeding, and the screams of pain were completely suppressed by the roar of the hurricane. The blood and the splashing sea water made the Yunluo fall into a semi-sunken state.
Angel's eyes were already locked on Alwin and Helen. If the Yunluo had an accident, he would be ready to abduct and evacuate at any time.
But Alwin and Helen were still dealing with it calmly. Although they faced such a terrifying power of nature, they still showed the wisdom of mortals. With the Yunluo as a weapon in their hands, they dealt with the roaring waves and violent hurricanes.
Winning the game with nature again and again.
Sometimes, Angell felt that the Yunluo might not be able to hold on, but the two captains still showed their calm quality of not changing their faces when facing a landslide, dancing on the edge of the knife, and finally fighting for their lives.
"The power of mortals is actually not weak at all." Angell whispered to himself.
After several adjustments, finally, the sail took advantage of the wind and sprinted in the predetermined direction.
Even if some sailors were injured and had no time to take care of themselves, they couldn't help but shout out with joy when they saw that the Yunluo was out of danger.
"It's not over yet. We are only temporarily out of danger now. There is still a distance from Xialu Sea Ridge. We must take advantage of the wind and rush in at once!" Helen shouted loudly, conveying it to everyone on the ship through the loudspeaker.
"No problem! With the wind and waves, victory belongs to us!" The sailors shouted in unison, and their young faces were full of confidence.
Angell had quietly placed his mental power on the gondola in the bracelet, and now he also laughed and gathered his mental power.
With such high morale and the two captains' superb skills in controlling the Yunluo, today's hurricane is another record that can be conquered.
Angel shook his head and turned to go into the inner room. When he came out, he was tanning leather and hides, but he encountered a hurricane. The previous big waves washed the sea water into the inner room, and the things inside were also all over the place. He was going to go in and clean up first.
But before he entered the house, he felt a strong energy fluctuation behind him. At the same time, Toby beside him suddenly rushed out.
Angel turned his head in surprise and saw that at some point, a row of more than a dozen people wearing gray linen wizard robes suddenly appeared in the sky. The energy fluctuation that was almost at the peak of the apprentice was done by this group of people, and the energy fluctuation was full of destructiveness, and the target was directly aimed at the Yunluo!
Toby flew forward, and a gray gravity vein was released outside like a barrier, directly resisting the attack.
In the surprised eyes of the group of people on the opposite side, the gravity vein shook, and all the energy it bore was rebounded back.
For a moment, everyone in the sky immediately scattered to avoid the energy that originally came from their hands.
"Sir, who are they?" Although the attacking energy did not fall on the Yunluo, almost everyone on the ship saw this scene and understood that this group of people were hostile to them.
A cold light flashed in Angel's eyes: "A group of rats and ants, you don't have to worry about them, continue to steer. Leave this to me."
Angel released an energy mark on the Yunluo, and then suddenly jumped into the air.
"Toby, turn into a griffin!" Angel shouted directly. Toby turned his head and a flash of orange-yellow fire flashed. In front of everyone's eyes, he turned into a huge half-lion, half-eagle beast.
Angel jumped onto Toby's back, then slowly flew into the air and looked at the gray-robed apprentice opposite.
At this time, on the Yunluo floating on the sea, there was a commotion on the deck.
"Vice Captain Helen, what should we do now?" Sailor Captain Naqi said to Helen: "Now that the wizard has left the ship, should we wait here?"
Helen's face was a little dark, and she looked back at Alvin in the captain's room. Alvin's expression was also very ugly. One wave after another, this is the thing that people who make a living on the sea are most afraid of encountering.
Helen groaned, took off her hat that was wet by the sea water, tied her long hair into a ponytail in one go, put on her hat, waved her hand and ordered: "Keep sailing!"
"But if there is no guard on the ship, what should we do if we encounter sea beasts?" A sailor said hurriedly.
"No buts, this is also what Lord Pat said before, let us leave first! I believe Lord Pat will come to find us." Helen became less and less confident. Facing a dozen wizards who looked difficult to deal with, could he really take care of them alone?
Helen suppressed the worry in her eyes and continued to order everyone to start working.
Seeing that the sailors were still worried, Captain Alwyn's voice came from the loudspeaker: "Solve the problem of the leaking roof first, and then talk about other things. As for whether it will rain all night, it depends on whether the God of the Ocean will favor us."
...
In the hurricane, the dark clouds covered the starry sky.
Angell was facing off against the crowd on the opposite side. Judging from the energy fluctuations, the opposite side was a mix of apprentices, ranging from second-level apprentices to third-level apprentices.
There were thirteen people in total, all with hoods covering their faces.
"This guy should be Sanders's apprentice, right?"
"He doesn't look like one. Doesn't the information say that this guy is not even twenty years old? How come he looks older than me?"
"Little Twelve, are you blind? This guy must have used some tricks like transformation. Don't recognize him. Look at that bird... uh, it's now a monster that looks like nothing. It's Angell's pet. Lock it, then this guy must not run away."
"Damn, we actually encountered Hurricane Sky. It's all the fault of the Deep Sea Song group, otherwise we wouldn't have run so far to stop him."
"..."
The thirteen people on the opposite side were all talking to themselves, looking very lazy. But Angell could see that their auras were locked, and they were obviously afraid of the terrifying beast that Toby transformed into.
"Brother, are we going to attack now?" someone asked. At the same time, everyone's eyes were focused on the person in the middle.
It was a hunchbacked man who looked thin and small. He said to Angel in a sinister voice: "You are Angel, right? If you don't want to die, just surrender and follow us. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with us, with your alchemy ability, we won't attack you. If you don't want to..."
A creepy laugh came from his mouth.
Angel glanced down with his peripheral vision. The Yunluo had already sailed away with the wind. After confirming that the Yunluo was no longer within the attack range, he slowly raised his head and looked at the people on the opposite side.
"People from the Rat Ant Underground Society, do you have so little confidence in me?" Angel's voice sounded cold, but there was no trace of nervousness.
He judged their identities from the first sight of this group of people. Those gray linen wizard robes were made of real gray linen, which was not expensive in the mortal world.
Dressed so poorly and with such obscure energy fluctuations, it is obvious that he is a wilderness apprentice, or a wandering apprentice.
And the Rat Ant Underground Club is the favorite place for this group of wanderers.
As for their identities, Angel did not give a second thought.
"What do you mean?" The hunchback's face sank.
"Don't you think it's too insulting to send you guys to attack me?" Angel smiled slightly, and in the other party's surprised and suspicious sound, the surrounding environment suddenly changed slowly...
The hurricane has not stopped, but the thick white fog suddenly surrounded everyone.
The rapidly changing fog instantly blinded them.
"When did he set up the illusion? Why didn't I feel any energy fluctuations at all?"
"Hurry up and find the illusion node! Otherwise, we will be passive!"
When everyone was looking for the illusion node, a scream suddenly came from the right rear.
"Little Twelve, what's wrong with you?"
"He's attacking me, right in front of me!"
In the fog, a bad omen suddenly rose in the heart of the hunchback, and he hurriedly said to others: "Be careful, beware of fraud."
But it was too late when the voice fell, several fierce attacks had already been launched. At the same time, a more shrill scream came from the front of the source of "Little Twelve", and everyone heard that this voice did not belong to Angel.
