The merchant boat that Gu Yun was on looked to be a lot smaller than the one with the Sheng Yuan ticket, but the speed of the ship was much faster than theirs. This ship was just like them, it had all been altered and disguised, which meant, on the surface, it was an ordinary merchant ship, but inside it, it was constructed based on warships.
They travelled quickly, but did not surpass them. The reason was that they made many twists and turns along the way, making them look as if they were unfamiliar with the sea, but they were actually probing the sea, but Gu Yun was not concerned about any of this. The only thing he was concerned about was the weather.
Gu Yun could roughly guess whether or not their ship was moving in the opposite direction of the wind. Sometimes, when they encountered strong winds, Gu Yun would guess whether or not their ship was moving in the same direction based on the strength and direction of the wind, and of course, it was also possible that their ship was moving in the front when they were moving in the strong winds. However, the wind suddenly changed, so Gu Yun and the others did not collide with it.
However, Gu Yun's heart was always on guard, and before the end of the journey, any accidents could happen.
Sheng Luan had discussed his important military matters and came to look for Gu Yun on the deck. Seeing him standing there by himself in a daze, Sheng Luan grabbed his shoulder and said: "I say, do you plan on not going to the Venerate Heavens Sect from now on? Is it tiring for you to observe the constellations with me everyday?"
Gu Yun cast a sidelong glance at him and did not say a word. Sheng Luan laughed at him, "I don't even know what to say to you, why don't we just hurry up and catch up with them? Otherwise, after these few months, you will definitely be able to turn the sea breeze into rocks, the resistance of that huge ship called Sheng Yuan will not be any worse than ours, there will be Zhao Zhang on board, and some of my experts, not less than you, so rest assured, let's go, let's have a drink together. "
Gu Yun did not object and followed him into the cabin. He poured a cup of tea and watched Sheng Luan drink it.
"Drink less. When the wind blows in the night, you have to stay awake. When the wind blows out, I won't be able to stop you."
did not care from the start, "You keep on blabbering on, sooner or later your wife will despise you, and we will travel for a long time. After all, we have met with many small and big situations, no matter what we are worried about, I don't even know what you are worried about, even if there is anything fishy on the island, it would not be possible for you to do anything to us from so far away, I just don't believe it."
Just as he was speaking, a sudden wave hit the cabin, causing the wine cup in Sheng Luan's hand to shake for some reason, "No, that can't be, pei pei, it's my mouth that's talking too much, I believe, can't I believe that?"
Once out in the sea, it was best to believe in fate. Not only did he have to believe in it, he had to respect it as well.
Gu Yun held the teacup tightly in his hand, "This wind is very strange, I had originally estimated that there shouldn't be any strong wind or strong waves here, if it was based on this wind speed, Sheng Yuan No."
Sheng Luan swallowed his saliva, "So what if I met him? Didn't I also meet him before? "No way …"
Gu Yun muttered, "We have to change our route and speed up our flight."
Sheng Luan seemed to have sensed that something was amiss. To change his route, what kind of ghost did he run into?
Gu Yun's expectations were not wrong. The Sheng Yuan's symbol had indeed met with a storm, and it was still at night.
After floating on the sea for more than two months, Xie Jingxi and her group had probably adapted to all kinds of sudden situations on the sea, and would often encounter large wind waves at night. They couldn't sleep soundly and their nerves tensed up, which had all become instinctive reactions, other than a sailor who wasn't swept into the sea by the wind previously, most of them were safe and sound.
The majority of the people that Xie Jingxi was leading were experienced sailors, on the other hand, they were protected by Zhao Zhang and Fang Dai, on the outside, it was possible to be completely safe, but it was also sufficient for them to be on guard. When the wind blew at night, everyone was eating together, and today was Manager Lu's birthday, so the Manager Qi decided to set up such a birthday feast.
When the wind started to blow, everyone thought it was just like usual, so most people did not pay too much attention to it. So Manager Qi suggested that everyone gather together and not move, one, they have help each other, and two, it would not be safe to go out.
Gu Xiaoyu was now lying on top of Xie Jingxi's body, both of her hands tightly wrapped around her mother's waist. The first time they met a big wave, the boat suddenly swayed, and Gu Xiaoyu, who was small and light, was once again thrown to the ground. When there was a second wave, she would throw herself at Xie Jingxi, afraid that she would be flung out again.
At this time, in the cabin, other than the laughter of the Manager Qi, the sound of the wind was gradually growing louder. Xie Jingxi hugged Gu Xiaoyu and looked out of the cabin, quietly waiting for the wind wave to pass.
Gradually, the sounds of talking and laughter in the cabin became softer and softer, the sound of wind howling past could be heard and the closed windows of the cabin were also loosened by the wind. Gu Xiaoyu who was lying on her mother's lap stared at the window, feeling that it would be blown open sooner or later.
"Brother Qi, why don't you sit further away from the window? It's dangerous." Gu Xiaoyu said to Qi Wei who was seated beside him.
Qi Wei was close to them, and also close to the windows. Although the cabin windows would not easily be blown open, it was purely Gu Xiaoyu's kind reminder, but it was obvious that Qi Wei did not appreciate her kind intentions. He glanced at Gu Xiaoyu, as if mocking her for sneaking into his mother's embrace when she had something to say.
How could he, a living person, fly out of a window?
The sound of the wind blowing on the windows became louder and louder, even the Manager Qi's face did not look as relaxed as before, as he continued to ask about the movement outside. Everyone's expression became heavier and heavier, as though the storm tonight was extremely huge.
It was just a matter of luck that they met with it. However, just as this huge storm was about to arrive at Luzon Island, it couldn't help but give off the feeling of being struck by lightning, causing these people, who were getting more and more excited as they got closer to the island, to feel a sense of foreboding in their hearts.
Fang Dai stayed beside the two and whispered to Xie Jingxi: "Madam, why don't you and Miss hide inside the boat cabin. It's so close to the window, it's really scary."
Just as Xie Jingxi had that intention, she grabbed Gu Xiaoyu and prepared to look for a place to hide, but the moment they got up, the boat suddenly started shaking violently. Before they could even react, the cabin's window suddenly blew open, and after a few shaky steps, they were swept away by the huge wave.
"Madam, quick!" "Hold on to me first!" Fang Dai extended her hand out towards Xie Jingxi, while she herself stood close to the table.
The wind blew into the cabin, causing the chairs and chairs to fly into the air. Needless to say, the small object could no longer be used to prevent the fate of being carried away, and Qi Wei, who was the closest to the window, was the one who bore the brunt of the impact. Without any preparation, even the chair under him was lifted up.
The little girl had learned for two years, so her reaction was pretty fast. But in this kind of situation, not to mention capturing Qi Wei, she, this little guy, could be swept away in one go if she was not careful. Xie Jingxi was scared out of her wits, and held onto the little girl tightly like a kite, swaying along with the wind, with the possibility of her flying away at any time.
Fang Dai did not care about finding anything to block her path anymore, both of her hands quickly grabbing onto Xie Jingxi's waist, while Qi Wei who was at the front had already extended half his body out of the window, and could only grip onto the windowsill with both of his hands. However, Gu Xiaoyu stubbornly held onto the hem of Xie Jingxi's clothes.
A attendant in front of Qi Wei was already squatting on the ground. Now, he struggled to get up, fumbled around to hold Qi Wei's legs, and Zhao Zhang also stepped forward to hold Qi Wei's leg. The wind did not seem to weaken at all, but fortunately, with Zhao Zhang's help, he managed to drag Qi Wei down from the window with difficulty.
Fang Dai finally managed to grab hold of something that she could rely on, and pulled Xie Jingxi and Gu Xiaoyu over safely. However, the sound of the wind didn't stop, and everyone still hadn't recovered from their shock, as the boat once again shook violently. An even larger wave of wind swept in, and swept away the attendant from Qi Wei in the blink of an eye.
No one was able to react in time, and no one could even see how he got out. In the end, the attendant struggled for a while on the railing of the ship's promontory, and then disappeared into the vast ocean.
Qi Wei, who had managed to escape death, witnessed another tragedy. His hand was still reaching out to grab him, but he was long gone.
"Young Master Qi, don't just stand there. Come here!" Zhao Zhang forcefully dragged him to a safe place, where no one could do anything except to find a reliable shield. No one wanted to be swept away by the storm like the attendant, and they could only pray that the storm would pass quickly.
Judging from the current situation, the windows of every cabin should not have survived. Without the windows, there was a high chance that salutations, food, and even fresh water would have suffered as well. The following journey would take at least half a month.
The sudden storm had dealt a fatal blow to everyone. The ambitions and desires that they originally harbored could only be temporarily destroyed by the urgent need to survive. They had to think of a way to reach Luzon Island as soon as possible, and they had to quickly replenish them.
However, he did not know that this trip to Luzon with an uncertain future, was only the beginning of this storm.
