The storm came much faster than they had imagined.
Under the command of Boss Sea, the main horizontal sail was lowered, leaving only the vertical sail to adjust the direction. When the ship encountered a storm, it was impossible to maintain the original course under the condition that the power of the wind was completely dependent on it. At this time, the most important thing to consider was whether or not the ship would sink.
The correct way was to steer the ship towards the left half of the storm and go with the flow, waiting for the storm to pass before returning to the original course.
Roc was a long-distance ship that specialized in crossing the ocean. The ship's structure was sturdy and the sailors were experienced. They were no stranger to this kind of storm. Each of them had their own position and responsibility. They were busy but not in chaos, anxious but not in panic.
Under the correct response, the famous Sea Widow's ship had already passed through the eye of the storm after a day and a night. The wind was weak and the waves were low. However, it was not the right time to restart the route. They should check the ship's damage and mark the route again, waiting for the storm to pass completely.
The reason why the Ghost Sea was called the Ghost Sea was not only because of the little risk. Generally, after a storm, there was a high possibility that a group of Sea Ghosts would appear behind the storm and gnaw on the ship that was destroyed in the storm. Sea monsters were notorious in the Ghost Sea.
Uncle Shrimp returned to the lookout and closely monitored the sea surface. The remaining sailors were scattered around the ship, holding harpoons and short spears, waiting for the storm.
The group of Sea Ghosts would not appear after every storm. It depended on luck. However, for Roc, their previous voyage was already very lucky. Therefore, they were facing the danger of changing their luck at any time.
Sea Hare was also arranged to be at the back of the ship, guarding against any possible abnormalities with a few sailors. He was no stranger to Sea Ghosts. During his ten years of sailing, he had encountered them once or twice. However, he was still young at that time and could not fight on the front line. Now that he had grown up, he naturally could not avoid his responsibility.
Suddenly, a series of buzzing sounds came from the lookout. Obviously, Uncle Shrimp had discovered something. With such a warning, other than those who couldn't leave their posts, the rest of the sailors rushed to the deck, including the first mate and the boatswain.
Sea Hare leaned against the side of the ship, his feet were unsteady. His body swayed naturally along with the ship. It looked like his center of gravity was unstable, but in fact, he was as steady as Mount Tai. This was the most basic ability of a sailor.
The sea ghosts came from the front of the ship, where the battle started first and where the pressure was the greatest. Then, the sea ghosts spread out and surrounded Dapeng to attack. To them, this was their food.
The sea hare was guarding a corner at the stern of the ship. It wasn't nervous at all as it scanned its surroundings. A sea ghost appeared below the ship. It was half the height of a human and had a single head and body. Its six tentacles were covered with suction cups. It looked like an octopus, but it wasn't an octopus. It was more aggressive and had simple intelligence.
The Sea Ghost had already swallowed a lot of seawater. It suddenly spurted out, and its body shot over the side of the ship like an arrow. Just as it was about to fall down, a short thorn pierced through its skull …
It wasn't difficult for those who knew how to kill this thing, but those who didn't know how to do so were those who didn't know how to do it. There were two things to pay attention to. First, the attack had to be accurate. The weak spot was between the eyes. If one couldn't kill it in one hit, it wouldn't die. Second, when the six tentacles of this thing came together, humans would be helpless and unable to block it. Sea Ghosts were especially ferocious after being injured.
So, the principle was to kill it in one hit and not get tangled up.
The sea hare was like a natural killer. After fighting with Mubei twice, he had completely adapted to the fusion of his body and consciousness in battle. So, this kind of thing was really just a small matter to him. To others, the ferocious sea ghosts were just a casual attack between advancing and retreating.
With him around, there was no more sea ghost that could get on the ship and stir up trouble at the stern of the ship. Some of the older sailors no longer looked at him with the same contempt as before.
The sea widow patrolled the ship. The sea ghost tide this time was only of a medium scale and was still within the range of Dapeng's ability. The bow of the ship was under the greatest pressure with the chief officer and boatswain overseeing it, so she didn't need to take action. The stern of the ship, which was prone to leaks, was also very quiet. This was unexpected.
A single headed sea ghost like this could be dealt with by a strong and experienced sailor. There were no weaklings on this ship, but there were no origin power users overseeing it. It would be difficult for the dozen or so sailors at the stern of the ship to not let a few of them get on the ship. But this time, the defense seemed to be very successful.
She rushed to the stern of the ship and saw the sea hare leisurely strolling through the messy sails, oars, and rigging. There were quite a few sea ghosts jumping up from the stern of the ship, but the dozen or so sailors were concentrated on one side of the ship. They relied on the density of their numbers to firmly control the jumping of the sea ghosts.
The other side of the ship and the entire stern of the ship was empty except for the sea hare. Sea ghosts jumped up one after another, and there were even a few that jumped at the same time. But these things were nothing more than trash throwing away their lives in front of the sea hare's incomparably sharp short spikes. One slide, one step, one stretch, one retract. The seemingly casual movement of the spikes was like the scythe of death.
She had seen a lot of things. She had roamed the seas for dozens of years, and she was also an expert among origin power users. But she was afraid that even she could not do such a relaxed fighting style. She had never seen such a thing from any of the strong people she had met before.
She suddenly realized that the sea hare she had always treated as a child had already grown up. The reason why he wanted to leave was because he had already awakened origin power, and it was a rather high level origin power. With this ability, he should be the boss of the ship, and a tyrant on the land.
How could he stay in the low shrubs when his wings had hardened? He would definitely spread his wings and soar high.
What could she use to make him stay? She realized that she did not have enough chips. Her stage was not big enough, and this little guy's awakening was unusually outstanding.
She did not show herself because she had not thought of how to face this person. Should she think of a way to make him stay? Or should she let him soar so that they could meet again? If she wanted to make him stay, what could she rely on? What could she cater to his liking? Satisfy his hobby of peeping? Let him have the opportunity to peep every day?
But the joy of peeping was in the word 'peeping'. It was like the difference between a house flower and a wild flower. Once he got tired of looking, what could she use to satisfy his perverted demands?
Widow Hai had a lot of experience in life. She knew that blindly satisfying a man would not be able to make him stay. But if she did not satisfy him, and he already had thoughts of leaving, it was really difficult to control him.
She returned to the cockpit. She had been hesitating about this problem for a long time, so much so that she had neglected to monitor the sea surface. Only when an even more intense warning signal came from the direction of the lookout did she wake up from her momentary trance.
There was no need to ask. Just by looking at the flashing golden dots on the sea surface, she knew that Dapeng was in big trouble.
