With a clatter, Guajama shook the rotten shell on the fishing net onto the boat. As expected, the harvest was dismal. The small fishes and prawns they caught in the morning were only enough for lunch, and the two nets in the afternoon were even more dismal.
It was already close to dusk, and the only decent harvest they had was the tigerfish they caught in the morning.
"There's no storm today."
Reina sat at the bow of the boat and said while looking at the setting sun.
"Seems like Miss Hai is in a good mood today. There's no wind at all. There's nothing we can do. Fishermen are like this, eating by the weather." Old Man Guajama kept the net in a box at the stern of the boat. The excitement he had in the morning was now replaced by cold embers.
"Then we won't be able to catch that fish today." Reina said. So that was what she was worried about.
Demon King smiled faintly. This mission wasn't to find that fish in the first place, it was just that no one noticed.
"How can that fellow be so easy to see? I've only seen it once in a few decades." Old Man Guajama comforted. Although he said that, his disappointment could be felt from his tone.
After spending a day together, the two of them knew that the old man wasn't as difficult to get along with as others said. It was just that his personality was a bit of a loner.
Just as they packed up and prepared to go back, a strong wind suddenly blew and the boat swayed.
The three of them stood still and opened their eyes to feel something.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
That's right! It was the sound of the wind!!
"There's wind!!" Old Man Guajama said excitedly.
"Look over there, it's so dark!!"
Reina pointed at the sky and shouted. A thick layer of dark clouds quickly gathered and drifted over at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It can't be!! What a coincidence, it's a storm!!! "Old Man Guajama stood up and shouted.
Of course it couldn't be so coincidental, because it was inevitable — — Demon King secretly hid a ring in his pocket.
"Quick! Put away the sails and hold on tight!! From now on, if you fall into the sea, you'll lose your life! Hahaha!! "Old Man Guajama laughed loudly.
The three of them hurriedly put away their fishing rods, harpoons, and other things and fixed them properly. They also locked the cabin where the tiger fish were kept.
"Ready, Captain!" the Demon King said loudly.
"I'm ready too, captain!!" Reina said. The three of them were now in the same mood, as if they were on the same page.
"Alright!!"
Old Man Guajama revealed an ambitious smile. He stood straight and looked at the storm in the distance with blazing eyes. At this moment, he seemed much younger and stronger.
"Then, my most outstanding crew, let us conquer this storm together! Hold on tight! It's time to set out!! "
With a loud shout, he started the fishing boat and immediately flew out with a whoosh. At this time, the sea became turbulent due to the strong wind, and the waves were like undulating mountains. Their boat was as small as an ant in these huge waves.
The sky seemed to be covered by a black cloth as it turned gloomy in an instant. A bolt of lightning flashed through the clouds. Suddenly, thunder roared and rain poured down.
"Wuhu!!! Don't be thrown off!! Hahaha! "
The rain hit their faces like fists, making them unable to open their eyes. The roar of thunder, the roar of the strong wind, and the sound of the huge waves filled the entire sea. However, the two of them could hear the old man's excited voice.
Any wave could capsize this small fish boat. It was not designed to resist the waves. The reason why it did not capsize now was because of the old man's years of experience. They dodged the waves that swallowed them again and again. They rushed out against the storm and sailed on the dark sea.
The Demon King stood at the bow of the boat and faced the storm. He seemed to understand why the old man was so excited. Looking at this terrifying storm, he could not help but feel excited.
"Let the storm come more fiercely!!" He stretched out his hand as if inviting someone.
Reina gritted her teeth and held on to the boat. Fortunately, she had learned her master's method, so she was not thrown off. However, Mikeji was much more miserable. He wrapped himself in the fishing net and stretched out all his claws to grab the fishing net.
Of course, he could also turn into a fish and hide twenty to thirty meters under the water. It was much calmer there.
However, he could not because his master was still on the boat. As a demon, he had to follow the rules of master and servant.
Suddenly, they felt the fishing boat seemed to be rising. When they looked back, they found that they were in the middle of a hundred meter high wave. If they were caught in it, they would be crushed into pieces by the huge pressure.
"Hold on tight!!!" Old Man Guajama shouted with all his strength. He suddenly pulled on the steering rod and the fishing boat raised its bow and quickly turned around.
"We're going to fall!!" Reina found that they could not run out of the sea. They were being pushed forward by the huge waves. If this continued, they would be caught in the waves.
"Quickly lower the bow!! Quickly!! "Guajama shouted.
"If we do that, the boat might break!!" The Demon King replied.
"We can't care so much. We can only fight!!"
The Demon King nodded. At this moment, Reina crawled over with difficulty.
"Master! What should we do! "
"Just like I taught you, make this ship heavier!"
The Demon King shouted. He did not know whether Reina could do it or not. However, this was the best time to stimulate people's potential.
"Okay!"
Reina was ready for battle. She pressed her hands on the deck of the boat. The Demon King stepped on the bow of the boat. Immediately, the boat creaked.
"Ah!!"
Reina shouted. Under the heavy rain, she exposed her sharp little teeth like a fierce kitten. However, she was serious. Her eyes were especially sharp.
In her eyes, this was a confrontation of life and death. Perhaps her journey with her master would end here. This was the result she did not want.
At this moment, her body emitted a bright white magical power that enveloped the entire boat. A blue and white snow mountain appeared in her eyes.
The Demon King and Guajama were stunned. At this moment, the boat was like a ray of light in the darkness, emitting a white radiance.
"Charge!!"
Guajama roared. The veins on his hands and face bulged. The three of them followed the fishing boat, riding the gale and treading on the huge waves … …
The storm lasted for less than fifteen minutes. The sea surface calmed down, as if it was a joke.
After the storm, only the clouds were left in the sky. The starry sky seemed to have been washed. It was especially clear and clean. The sea surface reflected the starry sky, giving people a kind of ethereal feeling.
The fishing boat was floating alone on the sea. Some wood fragments were floating around it. Two small white feet were swinging up and down, creating circle after circle of water ripples.
Reina sat on the side of the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery. The Demon King was also attracted by the scenery. He could not help but be entranced by it, so much so that he did not ask about the matter just now.
Old Man Guajama sat at the stern of the boat, a wet pipe in his mouth. He seemed to be enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
"Master!! What is that? "
Reina pointed at the sea surface and shouted. The two of them hurriedly walked over and saw a huge shadow swimming under the sea. It had eight fins and a slender body.
"Ah!! It's that!! That fish really exists. "
Reina reacted and shouted excitedly.
However, Guajama was very calm. He looked at the shadow with a smile and did not say anything.
The Demon King glanced at him and then turned his head. Of course, this fish was not conjured by him. It really existed.
Maybe the old man just wanted to prove that he was not lying and that the fish he spoke of really existed in this world. It was also possible that he did not intend to look for any fish at all. He just wanted to share the joy of fighting the sea with others in the end. Or maybe it was neither.
In any case, the Demon King and Reina completed this mission perfectly and left behind a precious memory … …
