On the Devil's Sea, layers of dark clouds began to pile up in the distant sky.
A cargo ship with the Blue Tongue Shipping's logo suddenly slowed down.
"The danger index of the sea ahead has begun to rise. From the rolling of the dark clouds and the degree of the sea breeze, there is a certain chance of forming a sea-inverted wall." A navigator in a blue and yellow uniform stood on the top deck, looking at the distant sky while muttering in a low voice.
"Should we still go through?" The captain asked.
The navigator hesitated for a moment, "If it's just wind and waves, we should have no problem going through. But if there really is a sea-inverted wall … "
The navigator began to hesitate. After all, this was the Devil's Sea. Even if their ships had been through hundreds of battles, if they encountered a disaster like a sea-inverted wall, they would still be finished. However, a sea-inverted wall was not so easy to appear. Although there was a certain probability of it appearing, the probability was not high. It was estimated to be about one in thirty. In fact, it was worth a gamble.
The navigator told the captain his thoughts.
However, the captain was also somewhat 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 could trade back and forth in the Devil's Sea, naturally had the support of supernatural forces behind them. On this cargo ship, there was also a guardian. It was a male Magus who was respectfully known as Sea Dragon.
"Lord Sea Dragon …" The captain trembled as he explained the situation.
Sea Dragon's face was full of annoyance because his meditation was interrupted. However, this was after all related to the safety of the cargo ship. He still stood up, opened the door of the balcony, and looked outside.
With just a glance, Sea Dragon said to the captain, "Go through."
The captain was stunned, "Sir, can you see that there is no sea-inverted wall?"
Sea Dragon glanced at him, "It doesn't matter whether there is a sea-inverted wall or not. Come and see for yourself."
The captain went to the balcony and raised his head to see the accumulation of dark clouds not far away. Moreover, it was spreading at an extremely fast speed towards their position.
At this time, the captain understood what Sea Dragon meant. It did not matter whether the sea-inverted wall appeared or not, because they were already "targeted" by the sea that was about to blow up.
The captain did not expect that in just a few minutes of looking for Sea Dragon, the outside world would have such a change. Now, he had no other choice. He couldn't escape, so he could only risk it all.
"I understand." The captain signaled the crew to not stop and cross the stormy sea!
A few minutes later, a torrential rain fell, and a gust of wind blew.
Half an hour later, not only did the storm not weaken, it became even denser. The storm didn't stop either. In fact, it became even wilder and wilder, comparable to a hurricane. The cargo ship kept swaying. Even though it was huge, in this kind of weather, it was no different from a small boat that could capsize at any time.
Almost all of the personnel had been transferred to the interior of the ship, but even if they were far away from the outside world, they could still hear the sound of the wind tearing apart. Even men who spent most of their time at sea paled at the sound of the wind.
It was like the smell of the end of the world.
At this time, the captain, two vice-captains, and two navigators were all gathered in the guardian's room. They looked at the distant sea through the glass wall, and their faces were all pale.
This was because the waves in the distant sea began to rise and rise until they reached the horizon.
It was like a tall wall of water that was connected to the clouds.
This was the Inverted Sea Wall. It was sucked into the sky by an extremely special cloud wind, and when it fell, its power was so great that it could overturn the sea.
"What are you afraid of? It's coming." The navigator felt like he was in a dream, and he couldn't help but murmur.
"It's just a Inverted Sea Wall. As long as we control it in time, we should be able to get through it." One of the vice-captains said.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than one Inverted Sea Wall rose from the distance, slapping him in the face.
"Even if there are so many Inverted Sea Walls, as long as we take this route, we can still find a way to go around them." It was still the same vice-captain.
As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten nautical miles in front of the cargo ship, another Inverted Sea Wall rose, blocking all the routes of the cargo ship.
The vice-captain said, "It's okay …"
"Shut up! If you speak again, do you believe that I will throw you out? "Sea Dragon roared.
The vice-captain, who had a crow's mouth attribute, silently took a few steps back, wanting to hide behind the others. However, everyone was speechless. Whatever he said, it would happen. They all dodged, afraid that they would be infected by bad luck.
Sea Dragon snorted coldly, but didn't punish him. Instead, with a serious expression, he took out an item from a hidden cabinet in the room.
It was a transparent glass bottle. The bottle wasn't filled with liquid, but with a very strange white smoke, like a miniature cloud.
"You should recognize it. This is the Floating Cloud Bottle issued by the higher-ups."
Everyone nodded. The Floating Cloud Bottle was a treasure that the shipping company gave to all cargo ships. After using it, it could allow the cargo ship to temporarily float high in the sky to avoid danger.
In the past five years, this cargo ship hadn't used the Floating Cloud Bottle. However, this time, a large number of Inverted Sea Walls appeared. There was no way out, and they could only rely on the Floating Cloud Bottle to seek a chance of survival.
Sea Dragon took the Floating Cloud Bottle and walked to the window. He looked at the pitch-black clouds in the sky and sighed heavily. "Even with the Floating Cloud Bottle, it's not necessarily safe."
This was because they didn't know how high the Inverted Sea Wall was, and whether it exceeded the upper limit of the Floating Cloud Bottle.
There could also be lightning and thunder in the clouds. Could the cargo ship pass smoothly?
These were all questions that couldn't be considered for the time being. They were all unknown dangers. However, compared to these unknowns, the current danger was more urgent. Therefore, they still had to use the Floating Cloud Bottle.
Sea Dragon didn't hesitate. He directly removed the stopper, and a large amount of cloud gas surged out of the bottle. The cloud gas seemed to have its own consciousness and gathered at the bottom of the cargo ship.
Like cloud soil, it lifted the cargo ship out of the sea and kept rising into the sky.
Soon, they entered the cloud layer. As soon as they arrived, Sea Dragon sensed the activity of the surrounding electric particles. Electric snakes shuttled back and forth in the cloud layer.
If these electric snakes hit the cargo ship, all of them would be finished. Therefore, they had no choice but to continue rising.
They were lucky. During the process of rising, they didn't encounter any electric snakes spying on them. They smoothly passed through the first layer of low clouds.
However, what they didn't expect was that even after passing through the first layer of low clouds, they still couldn't see the end of the Inverted Sea Wall in the distance. The Inverted Sea Wall was connected to a higher place.
In other words, even at this height, they couldn't avoid the Inverted Sea Wall.
They could only continue rising.
When they arrived at the second layer of clouds, everyone held their breaths and waited for the moment to pass through the clouds.
They successfully passed through the cloud layer, but the cloud gas in the Floating Cloud Bottle was used up. This meant that the cargo ship had reached the upper limit and couldn't continue rising.
However, even here, they still couldn't see the end of the Inverted Sea Wall.
"It's over. This time, it's completely over." Everyone looked at this scene in despair. Some even knelt on the ground with a dazed expression.
"This time, the Inverted Sea Wall is really going to fall. Even the Island Whale will be smashed into meat paste. "Not to mention their cargo ship, it would definitely be smashed into pieces.
Sea Dragon's face was also pale. He was no longer thinking about the safety of the cargo 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. However, as a level-2 apprentice, his mana wasn't enough to support him flying in the Devil's Sea, so he still needed to land. In the past, he could rest and meditate on cargo ships, but if the cargo ship was destroyed, he didn't know if he could leave alive.
"Lord Sea Dragon, what should we do now?" Everyone looked at Sea Dragon, pinning their hopes on the only Extraordinary.
Sea Dragon didn't speak. He silently walked to the side and pulled down the magic carpet that was hanging on the wall.
The magic carpet was his flying vehicle. The others also knew about this, so when they saw Sea Dragon's actions, they understood the seriousness of the matter.
If even the guardian couldn't solve it, they might really be finished.
"The magic carpet can carry four people at most. I can take you all away." Sea Dragon looked at everyone. "There are five of you now, which means that one of you will have to stay on the ship."
"You choose yourselves, or I'll choose."
"Even if you choose, don't think that you'll have an easy time. Because even if you leave now, there's no guarantee that you'll survive. "
Sea Dragon threw this fatal multiple-choice question at them.
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent. They were all comrades, but when it came to a matter of life and death, they were completely dumbfounded.
"There's no time for you to waste. If you don't have a result in half a minute, I'll choose." Sea Dragon looked at the turbulent wall in the distance and scolded.
At this moment, the captain walked out. "I've worked on this cargo ship for 20 years. I've already seen it as my home. Since my home has been destroyed, what's the point of living? I, I'll stay. "
The others were silent.
Sea Dragon looked deeply at the captain. "Alright, you stay. The rest of you, get ready and leave with me."
Sea Dragon waved gently, and the magic carpet was spread out on the ground, indicating for everyone to get on.
Just when the magic carpet was full and Sea Dragon was about to bring the others out of the cargo ship, a ray of light suddenly flashed in the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw a dreamy flying ship with flowing lights and vibrant colors appear in the sky. This flying ship with the starry sky as a veil flew over from afar and slowly stopped right above them.
The others couldn't see the situation inside the flying ship, but as an apprentice, Sea Dragon could clearly feel that there was a terrifyingly strong person on the flying ship. His gaze swept past them.
Furthermore, the other party's gaze was locked onto Sea Dragon.
This kind of gaze that could make one's skin tremble definitely came from an official Magus!
Sea Dragon was very clear how terrifying an official Magus was. Moreover, most official Magi had bad tempers. Being targeted by an official Magus, the probability of bad luck was extremely high.
This … Was it a case of a house leaking and then a rainstorm? They had just escaped one calamity, and now they had to enter the second calamity?
Sea Dragon was in despair.
"It's coming down, it's coming down … The flying ship is coming down!" The two navigators at the side exclaimed.
Sea Dragon also raised his head in fear. Indeed, he saw that dreamy flying ship slowly descending from the sky.
100 metres, 50 metres, 30 metres … The flying ship only stopped when it was about 10 metres away from them.
Sea Dragon secretly glanced at the person on the flying ship.
It was a young man wearing a loose robe, lazily leaning against the chair. His somewhat messy red hair was carelessly placed in front of his forehead. Coupled with his somewhat listless golden eyes, he gave off a feeling of world-weary laziness.
Sea Dragon did not dare to look at him too much. He only looked at him respectfully and lowered his head.
He searched through the database in his mind and was sure that he had never seen this person before.
However, it was also possible that this person was in disguise.
"These humans can actually fly while sitting on a blanket?"
A crisp and childish voice sounded from the flying ship. Sea Dragon secretly glanced at it and found that it was a … hand that was hanging on the young man's back.
A hand could actually talk? While Sea Dragon was still in shock, the young man spoke again.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? That ship is so big! Such a big ship can fly in the sky? Scary! "
"Damn it, compared to Gondola, we've lost."
Sea Dragon was speechless. Was this mockery or the truth? It was obvious who had lost just by looking at the appearance.
Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. The only one who dared to speak was the chattering hand.
"Alright, if you speak anymore, I'll keep you locked up," the young man said.
"There's no fireplace here …"
"I can still lock you up without a fireplace. Do you want to try?"
"Fine," the hand muttered. Hand murmured in an aggrieved voice, "I was just speaking the truth. We lost in the first place."
"Shut up," the young man snapped.
The hand stopped talking. Sea Dragon on the magic carpet heaved a sigh of relief. Although the hand's words were ignorant, from a certain perspective, they were being roasted on a fire.
However, although the hand calmed down, it did not completely calm down. This was because it jumped onto the magic carpet and circled around it like a patrolling general. It even sized up the people on the magic carpet.
Faced with this strange hand, no one dared to move or make a sound.
"This blanket is quite comfortable. It's soft and warm. It's much better than Gondola!"
Sea Dragon was speechless. Please stop talking.
"Dankros, restrain your flames!"
The young man on the flying ship shouted. The others all looked at the hand, only to see that the hand that was rolling on the magic carpet was surrounded by flames. There was a scorched hole in the carpet under its body.
After being shouted at, Dankros came back to his senses in a daze. However, at this moment, the hole in the carpet had already begun to expand.
Before Dankros could react, he fell from the scorched hole.
He landed on the balcony of the top floor of the ship.
As for the flying magic carpet, there was a hole in it, and it lost some of its ability to fly. With a series of exclamations, everyone fell down one after another.
"Idiot, I'll lock you up when we get back," the young man cursed and jumped down from the flying ship.
At this moment, everyone else was dumbfounded. Only Sea Dragon was trembling.
Sea Dragon had already guessed that this hand was a fire elemental creature. The fire released unconsciously could burn through the magic carpet, which showed how powerful it was. Even ten of Sea Dragon would not be enough to burn it.
Sea Dragon was powerless against this hand. Moreover, there was an even more powerful official Magus.
In front of them was the Inverted Sea Wall, behind them was a fire elemental creature and an official Magus. In addition, their magic carpet had been destroyed. Were they really going to die here?
