Chapter 83 - Singing in the Storm
”On the vast sea, dark clouds swirled in the strong winds. Between the dark clouds and the sea, the swallow is like a black lightning, flying haughtily... Suddenly, he heard that there was an immortal mountain on the sea. The mountain was in the middle of nothingness. ”The pavilion is as beautiful as the clouds, and there are many fairies amongst them …”
”Let the tempest come strike harder... To try and stop me, Xiao Letian, you devious god, that's just a dream … ”Fighting against the heavens is a boundless pleasure, but fighting against others is a boundless pleasure. Your father is going to have a battle with this storm today …”
”There has never been a savior, nor has there been an Immortal Emperor … Ready to Sing... There has never been a savior … ”
The azure sea water churned up a huge wave over ten meters high, rolling and smashing against the sea. White foam was forced deep into the sea amidst the thunderous roar. The black clouds in the sky were like mountains, pressing down on the sea and turning the day into night. The storm in the sky could no longer be called falling down, but falling over.
In the distance, a water dragon was wreaking havoc. The lightning behind the tornado was releasing light while the rolling thunder was actually unable to match the sound of the crashing waves. In that moment, the power of the storm dominated the entire space.
In the huge waves that covered the sky, a large wooden sailboat was bobbing up and down. Sometimes, the huge waves would carry it to a height of more than ten meters in the air, and it would then violently smash back into the sea. Sometimes, the whole ship would even drill into the huge waves, and the seawater would sweep everything on the deck.
This was a storm that was common in the Pacific Ocean. This ocean, known as the Pacific Ocean, was actually not very peaceful. Every year, a tornado would engulf countless merchant ships on the sea and destroy the lives and property of countless coastal people. This was the moment that all navigators feared the most. No matter how advanced their navigation skills were, they had no other way to deal with this kind of hurricane apart from resisting it head on.
But today, on the pitch-black sea, on this life-threatening wooden sail, waves of faint roars pierced the sound of the storm, arrogantly expressing their disdain towards the heaven and earth.
It was Xiao Letian, the arrogant transcender, who had actually tied himself to the main mast and was shouting hysterically in the face of the monstrous white waves. He even took out the international song that had yet to come out and started singing it. In the middle, there was also's disrespect to the divine gods that filled the sky.
”Dragon King, Dragon King, if you have the ability, appear and eat me …” ”Poseidon, where is your trident? Let me see the lightning bolt on it …”
Xiao Letian was going crazy, while the rest of the people on the deck were desperately saving the boat. Captain Ke Xijia's legs were nailed to the deck, one hand firmly holding onto the rope, while the other was commanding the sailors to get off the boat.
”Cut the ropes and abandon this sail immediately …” ”It will drag us to hell, brave children. Go after it, whoever completes this mission will be rewarded with 1000 gold coins …” Before he could finish his sentence, a white wave smashed onto his body, preventing him from speaking any further.
What Ke Xijia said was not wrong, if they were not able to get off the sail in time within the storm of the ocean, then the fierce winds would easily carry the sailboat and swirl around in the ocean or even overturn it. Right now, all of the main and secondary sails on Luck had been rolled up. Only one of the secondary sails on the highest mast was swaying in the wind.
The fluttering canvas fluttered in the air like a flag. The long rope whipped the air in disorder, creating popping sounds. Two sailors had already been pulled out of the sea by the rope.
”This won't do, captain. The wind is too strong, we can't even get close …”
”The power of the rope is too great, we have no way to dodge it …”
More than ten sailors were tightly holding onto the mast. They were only one step away from reaching the canvas, but this step was the distance between life and death.
”What should we do? ”Who told me what to do!?” At this moment, a bell-like voice rang out in everyone's ears, but none of the foreign sailors present could understand what he was saying.
”Dragon Lord... I'm here. Can you rush to the main mast and cut off that piece of cloth that was fluttering in the air and throw it into the sea … ” Xiao Letian shouted.
”Military advisor!” ”Why did you run onto the deck? We couldn't find you even after searching all over the cabin …” After saying that, Xiang Shaolong wanted to untie the rope, but he was stopped by Xiao Letian: ”Dragon Lord, don't untie it. Don't look at me as I rain, but I am very safe now …” ”Hurry up and tear this rag to shreds. That way, I'll be even safer …”
Xiang Shaolong knew that once Xiao Letian's temper rose, it would be hard to say. Thus, he could only let go of the Military Advisor and took out a bright dagger from his bosom to bite on it.
The foreign sailors were stunned. A citizen who had never been to sea was actually faster and more reliable than them when he climbed up the mast.
How could they have known that when Xiang Shaolong poured his inner strength into his hands, he would be able to create a faint handprint by grabbing onto the wooden mast.
