There were strong winds in the dark sky and the earth, and heavy rain poured down in a very short period of time. Huge lightning roared through the sky and sea, and the light of lightning reflected the thunderclouds and heavy rain between the sky and the earth.
"Rumble..."
In the face of the power of nature, the boat was as small as a bean. It seemed to be holding up very hard in the wind, rain and waves, but also seemed to be very calm. The details are difficult to describe.
"The boat is filled with water!"
Sanhua Empress turned and shouted to the Taoist priest.
"Please, Miss Sanhua."
"OK!"
Empress Sanhua held the water-dividing knife, pointed at the water in the boat, and shouted softly and softly like an order:
"Everyone get out!"
The water quickly turned into a stream of water and flew out.
Another bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating the sky and the earth.
There is a large sailing ship vaguely visible in the distance. Even a large ship much larger than a small boat is like a plaything in the stormy waves, being easily thrown up and down.
"Boom!"
The sound of thunder came slowly.
The lightning only stayed for a moment and then disappeared, and the sailing ship disappeared into the dark sky and earth.
Suddenly there was another flash of lightning.
The lightning is almost purple-red and has numerous forks. It does not connect the sky and the sea in an instant, but you can clearly see the process of it starting from top to bottom and splitting countless cracks from a thick electric pillar, and it also stays in the air. It took a moment to slowly dissipate - this time it still reflected the big ship swaying in the wind and rain, but it also reflected the distant place behind the big ship. In the thunder clouds, there was a huge dragon-shaped figure twisting and swaying in the sky. For a moment, he was like the master of thunder and rain.
"Boom..."
The thunder was still late.
“There’s a boat!
"besides……"
Sanhua Empress transformed into a human form, holding a water-dividing knife. She also raised her head and stared blankly over there, then turned her head and looked at her Taoist priest.
Several more bolts of lightning flashed in succession.
I can see it more clearly this time——
The huge figure sometimes hovers in the clouds, as if taking a bath in the clouds, sometimes meanders in the air, or rushes up to the sky, or jumps down into the sea, sometimes just emerges from the water, sometimes even at the same time Appears in thunderclouds, air and sea.
Because it is too huge.
With a body hundreds of feet long and low-hanging black clouds, it can connect to the sky and sea like lightning. The whales it has encountered before at sea are like insignificant playthings in front of it.
The wet scales reflect the light of thunder and lightning, clear and full of details, as if to declare to the world its majesty and that it is not an illusion.
"It's really spectacular..."
Song You couldn't help but look at that scene.
The wind and waves pushed the big ship closer and closer to the small ship.
Under the lightning, Song You saw busy and panicked figures on the wooden boat. While everyone was quickly taking emergency measures in the storm, they couldn't help but look in that direction through the lightning. There was someone who saw it for the first time. I couldn't help but freeze on the spot, or stop and point at it and shout loudly.
"Dragon!! There is a dragon!!"
"The Dragon King appears!"
"Master Dragon King is showing off his power!"
"Throw away the pigs, sheep and dogs! Throw them away!"
The shouts were almost at the top of their lungs, and no matter how noisy the storm was, they could not be drowned out.
"Boom!"
Lightning once again penetrated the sky and the sea, but this time it was very close to both the big ship and the small boat. The lightning was clearly reflected in the sea water, and also reflected a high mountain in the distance.
After looking carefully, I realized that it was not a mountain, but a huge wave, as high as a mountain wall, pressing towards this direction.
Everyone on the big boat was stunned.
For a while, the noise on the ship became quiet.
"Taoist priest--"
"Miss Sanhua."
"Well?"
"Please lend me the water-splitting knife from Sanhua Empress."
"OK!"
In the dark night, only thunder and lightning could illuminate it. Although there were many people on the big sailing boat, no one noticed the small boat behind. While everyone was frantically taking emergency measures, they only focused on the distant place stretching between heaven and earth. The body, the giant monster that controlled the thunderstorm, even ignored the huge waves behind it.
By the time I saw the huge wave, it was not far away.
This wave was really like a mountain, and it was so dark. Every time it was reflected by lightning, it became closer and bigger, and the pressure became a little heavier. The sailboat seemed so small in front of it.
"Hide in the boat!"
"It's almost over..."
"Master Dragon King, help me!"
"The Dragon King appears..."
How can a small wooden boat withstand the mountains and seas?
However, at the critical moment, a ray of silver light flew over, suddenly cutting through the night and the wind and rain in the sky.
The light looked like lightning, but it didn't look like it. If it was said to be like thunder and lightning, it would be even less like it. It was more like the light of a knife that a storyteller described. It flew from the back of the sailboat and hit the huge waves, from near to far, from small to small. It was so big that it just passed by in an instant on the stormy night on the sea.
"Wow!"
The rainwater that could not reach the boat board was separated in an instant.
This bright light obviously passed through the sailboat, but it did not have any impact on the hull. It seemed to only affect the water on the ship's board, leaving a trace on the sea surface amid the wind, rain and waves.
"Boom!"
Another bolt of thunder descended, illuminating the distant scene.
The people who were still on the deck and had not had time to escape into the cabin immediately opened their eyes when they saw it.
The huge gable-like waves were divided in the middle.
At this time, it was collapsing and flowing in both directions.
For a moment, the water seemed to have really turned into earth, and the huge waves seemed to have really turned into mountains. But whether it was water or earth, fluid or solid, waves or mountains, they were all split by the light of the knife.
"The Dragon King showed..."
Someone shouted loudly, but didn't finish.
Because they suddenly remembered that although this light was extremely fast, it obviously had a trajectory to follow, and it came from the other side of the ship, in the completely opposite direction to the dragon.
Everyone turned to look over.
The sea was pitch black with hidden waves.
"boom!"
A thunderbolt illuminates the night——
Not far from the sailboat, a small boat was lifted high by the waves, but the hull was still stable. A man in robes was bending down, holding a dagger and handing it to the girl.
The lightning dissipated after a moment.
This scene only lasted for a short moment, and then the sea surface returned to endless darkness, and only the sound of waves could be heard.
"..."
Everyone's eyes widened.
That scene seemed to still be in sight.
I'm afraid I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
"boom……"
The hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, as if it was about to turn over. Even a veteran with many years of experience could not stand firmly under the shock like a collision, and was instantly overturned to the ground.
Only when they got up did they realize that although the huge waves had been separated, it had only eliminated a disaster for them. At this time, the wind and rain had not stopped, and the waves were still not extinguished. It didn't disappear out of thin air, it just turned into a small wave. It was still a great test.
The ship's plank must be untenable.
No one could care to look at that scene anymore, so they had to take it into their hearts and crawl into the cabin.
…
Early the next morning, the thunderstorm had subsided.
With Sanhua Empress holding a water-dividing knife on board, there was not a drop of extra water on the wooden boat, and not even the few remaining coconuts fell. Song You lay on his back and fell asleep on the boat, slowly waking up.
At this time, the sea was already calm, with no wind or waves at all. The sea was as flat as a mirror, but nothing could be reflected except the boat, because a thick fog had already risen on the sea. , unable to see beyond ten feet.
Song You straightened up and looked around.
The cat lay next to him, sleeping with the water knife in his arms.
The swallow stood at the bow of the boat, eyes closed.
Because of his movements, the boat shook, finally adding a few ripples to the smooth, mirror-like sea surface, and slowly swayed into the depths of the mist.
Yanzi opened his eyes instantly, and his eyes were dark.
The cat held the water diversion knife with one paw, and bent the other paw to cover her eyes. The round paws with white gloves always gave people an unusually soft feeling. Apparently she also felt the movement, covering her eyes. He retracted his hand with a little force, twisted his body, then put down his paw, opened his eyes a little, and looked at Song You in a daze.
"Good morning Yan'an, good morning Miss Sanhua." Song You greeted them both side by side, as if the wind and rain last night had never existed at all.
"Good morning, sir."
"Good morning, Taoist priest..." Sanhua Empress said, raising her head and looking around, "Why is there no sound at all?"
"It's calm."
"Calm and calm~"
"Perhaps the wind and rain last night consumed all the energy accumulated in the sea." Song You smiled and looked at Yanzi again, "Have you ever encountered a storm when you went overseas to look for good seeds?"
"We have encountered it from a distance, but it is not this big. And if we see and feel it from a distance, we will avoid it in advance." Yanzi answered truthfully.
"Then last night scared you."
"Nothing..."
Yanzi whispered, but turned to look at the sky.
The scene from last night seemed to still remain in front of his eyes.
It was a magnificent scene that he had never seen in his life, and a storm that he had never experienced personally. Naturally, he would never forget it for the rest of his life. Perhaps until he died of old age, last night would be one of the most exciting days in his life.
But he didn't say this, and couldn't say it. When he looked back from the foggy sky and looked at Song You again, he just said: "Do you want me to fly up and see where this is?"
"No need, it's not easy here, not to mention the fog is too heavy. If you fly far away, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it."
"I also think it's not simple here."
"Um……"
Song You nodded and didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned his head and looked in one direction.
There is a faint dark shadow deep in the thick fog, only slightly darker than the fog. It is almost invisible if you don't look carefully. Once you see it, it becomes clearer and clearer. It is vaguely like a boat.
There were small ripples coming from that side.
"Squeak..."
There was also the sour sound of the wooden boat structure shaking, mixed with the slight sound of water.
The big ship came out of the fog and gradually became clear.
The similarities between the two sides are becoming clearer.
I saw people standing on top of the big ship, facing this side, and everyone was staring at the small ship.
