Chapter 31: Shocking waves

Chu Jiangnan and Han Ningzhi maintained an awkward silence, not knowing what to say, and Han Ningzhi even covered her cute little head in the brocade quilt.

You have a good rest, I'll check out the situation outside.

Finally, Chu Jiangnan left after saying this, but his back felt indescribable.

The wind on the sea was even stronger, and the gloomy sky could no longer tell the direction.

However, except for Chu Jiangnan, the other watermen on the Water Dragon, all knew the current dangerous situation.

In the face of the irresistible power of nature, if you don’t want to be afraid, it is purely nonsense. After all, human power is limited. No matter how high your martial arts are, you can’t stand the storm. At this time, experience and wisdom are more useful than martial arts.

Under the command of Xie Chengru and Yang Quan, everyone acted nervously and orderly, and the frequency of the shaking of the Water Dragon began to increase.

Although not everyone in the Angry Dragon Gang has a solid foundation in internal skills, when it comes to water nature, I believe that not many people in the world can beat them. Dongting Lake has developed their firm character and good water nature.

Chu Jiangnan's feet seemed to be nailed to the deck tightly, always maintaining the center of gravity of his body. If the boat shakes and sways with the strong wind, his body can always adjust his state and adapt to changes through subtle vibrations of his muscles.

A big wave as high as ten feet suddenly hit, and the thick rope was broken with a snap. A huge cargo box on the deck hit the horizontal railing and was swept into the sea.

Seeing Chu Jiangnan coming out of the cabin, Xie Chengru shouted: Brother Chu, you should go back to the cabin, it’s too dangerous here.

Chu Jiangnan is a relative who was particularly caring for Shangguan Ying. Of course, Xie Chengru didn't want to see any accidents when he had happened. In the storm, anything could happen, which is not a joke.

A confident look appeared on his face, and Chu Jiangnan said lightly: Uncle Xie, why haven’t you seen the shadow of the island yet? Will our direction be...

Although he didn't finish his words, Xie Chengbu knew what he meant.

Xie Chengru was busy commanding the water crew and smiled bitterly: I can only guarantee that the direction we sailed at the beginning was absolutely correct, but now the wind is high and the waves are rushing. Only the old genius knows whether we have deviated from the channel.

While the two were talking, a huge wave came towards us, pounced on the back deck like a monster. The bow of the Water Dragon was lifted high and was slapped down by a huge wave that came immediately. There were no fixed objects in the cabin and on the deck.

Chu Jiangnan reached out and pulled Xie Chengzuo, barely letting a huge cargo box slide past him.

Uncle Xie, please let me stay here to help!

Although Chu Jiangnan did not have any experience in nautical navigation, he believed that his reaction and skills could definitely make up for the lack of experience.

Now everyone is really on the same boat, living and dying together. Xie Chengru gritted his teeth and nodded: OK, but be careful not to be swept into the sea.

The strong wind mixed with heavy rain hit the head and face, and the Water Dragon drifted with the flow, constantly jogging in an unknown direction ahead.

When Chu Jiangnan first stepped on the Water Dragon, he was amazed at its incredible tall hull, but in the vast ocean, it was just a drop in the ocean.

careful.

As soon as Chu Jiangnan finished speaking, a big wave came violently. Although everyone was shaking their feet, no one fell down.

Although Chu Jiangnan was willing to help, he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, he asked him if he didn't understand, which was his biggest advantage: Uncle Xie, what can I do?

Xie Chengru glanced at Chu Jiangnan and said in a deep voice: Go and help Yang Quan.

At this time, Yang Quan was next to the helmsman, frowning and sharp eyes kept searching for the violent and chaotic sea surface. Although he did not know the specific route of the waterway, he could roughly judge the direction by the water flow.

Seeing Chu Jiangnan walking to him, Yang Quan looked up and asked: What's wrong?

Chu Jiangnan said directly: Is there anything I can help?

you?

Yang Quan thought for a while, and he and Xie Chengru had the same idea, but then he thought of his martial arts again, and finally nodded: If there is any mistake in the storm, his life will be lost. I hope you can do your best to save those failed brothers.

This is not an easy task. If you don’t have a keen judgment and the courage to take action at the right time, you will even be trapped in, let alone saving people.

But Chu Jiangnan agreed without hesitation. This is also due to his confidence in himself. Men may have no appearance, no life experience, no money and power, but they must not have dignity and confidence.

Rumble!

A thunder broke out in the sky, and the rain became heavier and heavier. The people on the deck were all wet. When the cold sea breeze blew, the wet clothes were tightly pressed against their bodies, making them cool, and the taste was absolutely not good.

The terrible storm is definitely more exciting than watching American blockbusters. At this time, Chu Jiangnan deeply understood this, although it was not what he wanted.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the huge waves continued to slap the hull fiercely, as if it could not bear the ruthless ravage of the waves. The hull moaned in pain, but the subtle sound was quickly submerged in the lightning and thunder that resounded through the world.

Lower the sail and maintain a normal speed of one-third.

Xie Chengzu's rough voice sounded in the air. At this time, no one could act and speak calmly.

The Angry Gang members who heard the order did not delay and followed the order. To survive in the storm, everyone must execute the order as soon as possible without hesitation.

After loosening the rope, the sails landed for more than half. Chu Jiangnan felt that the speed of the boat was significantly slowed down. Although the shaking of the hull also decreased a little, when will it take to rush to the island to dock?

The wind is roaring, the rain is roaring, and the hull is shaking.

His vision was blurred, and Chu Jiangnan was already judging things based on his Lingrui's feelings.

A stunning wave twenty feet high was like a demon suddenly rushing out from the sea. It swung onto the deck with its teeth and claws. The helmman of the ship suddenly shook his body and released the tight rudder. Fortunately, he was smart and even though his body was thrown out, his hands were tightly grasping the railing along the ship.

Yang Quan, who was fully focused on observing the changes in the water flow on the sea, grabbed the rudder quickly and regained control of the Water Jiao. At the same time, with a bang, the railing could not withstand the raging wind and waves, and was broken and rolled into the sea.

In the flash, Chu Jiangnan pulled a thick rope and rushed towards the direction of the helmsman falling into the water.

Tie the rope around his waist, Chu Jiangnan ran to the broken railing, jumped, waved his hand, and the other end of the rope wrapped around the waist of the helmsman like a snake.

However, due to the excessive momentum, the hull kept shaking. Chu Jiangnan, who was running wildly, stopped there. He was swept into the depths of the sea with the helmsman who fell into the water by a huge wave.

Chu Jiangnan was shocked. He had just felt hot and he was so angry that he had also taken him into the hero. Now he was in the air and could not use his strength to lift his energy. This seamless hull had no place to catch.

At the critical moment, Chu Jiangnan suddenly exerted force with his left hand, pulling the helmman falling into the sea towards him. At the same time, he pinched his palm into a knife with his right hand, and made a move like lightning, and his palm like a sharp blade, and shouted loudly: Break!

The hand knife easily tore the thick hull and turned it into a palm. Chu Jiangnan's right hand tightly clenched into the hull, and at the same time, his left hand held the helmsman who had pulled up from the sea tightly under his armpit.

A trace of red blood oozed out along the broken wood chips, but it soon disappeared into the wind and rain, as if it had never appeared before.

Seeing that Chu Jiangnan and the helmsman were both shocked, Yang Quan and Xie Chengru were happy, but at the same time they were shocked. The deck of the Water Dragon was not an ordinary thing, but an iron birch tree that had been more than a hundred years old.

The bark is dark red or close to black, covered with white spots, and is three times harder than oak trees, and is even twice as hard as ordinary steel. It is the hardest wood in the world.

If it weren't for the magical weapon, ordinary swords and swords could not be injured, who would have thought that Chu Jiangnan's skills were so terrifying, and he had also used his hard palm to Qi Longzheng fast sword. Judging from his young age, he didn't know how to practice this martial arts.

Xie Chengru walked to the broken railing with difficulty and pulled Chu Jiangnan and the helmsman up. Chu Jiangnan's fingers were bleeding, but fortunately, they did not hurt the bones, but only some skin injuries.

Uncle Xie, haven’t you seen the shadow of Xiaodao yet?

Chu Jiangnan handed the fainting helmsman to Xie Chengru, and casually pulled his clothes and wrapped them around his hands, doing a simple bandage.

Xie Chengru shook his head and smiled bitterly: Our speed has slowed down, and everyone has exhausted almost all their strength. Whether they can be safe can only depend on God.

Not good.

The sound of sailors came faintly at the bottom of the bilge, and a hole was opened by the reef on the side of the ship, and water began to seep.

There is a reef that means there must be an island nearby, but I didn’t expect that the house would rain again and then it would seep water from the reef at this time.

The sails fell, and everyone except the helmsman went into the cabin, trying to find a way to block the cracks.

Xie Chengru made a decisive order, and there was no need to accelerate at this time. As long as the general direction was good, he would be sent to the island by the waves, but the premise was that the ship could hold on until that moment.

Oops.

Chu Jiangnan suddenly thought that Han Ningzhi was still in the bottom cabin. She was anxious just now and actually forgot about her.

Worried about what accident would happen to Han Ningzhi, Chu Jiangnan didn't even think about it and immediately ran towards the cabin. In the storm, he dared to run on the deck with light skills. It turns out that the ignorant is fearless!

Chu Jiangnan rushed to the cabin and found that the crew had retreated to the second-to-last cabin, but Han Ningzhi was not seen.

The design of the Water Jiao is very unique. If an emergency occurs in water leakage, the purpose of blocking seawater invasion can be achieved by closing the passage.

This is equivalent to a special design that only some modern high-end ships have. No wonder Zheng He was able to voyage to the West without any danger. The shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was far beyond any country in the world at that time.

How was that little girl?

Chu Jiangnan pulled open the partition at the bottom of the bilge and found that the water had probably submerged to the waist.

The wooden door was blocked by something, and we could not exert our luck in the water. We had no way to break through the door to save people, and the water seeped too quickly.

A crew member replied while draining water with a wooden basin.

Chu Jiangnan was very anxious, but he did not blame them. After all, he could not take the life of the entire ship to save one person.

If I haven't come back before the water completely floods the bottom layer, you don't have to wait and just seal the partition cabin.

Although he understood, Chu Jiangnan did not take much into consideration. He jumped down from the open partition and swam against the flow to Han Ningzhi's room.

The Arms of the Angry Dragon Gang: What a hero.

The Angry Dragon Gang: The hero comes from a young man.
