Chapter 265 Thrilling
Everyone looked over and saw several whirlpools suddenly appear on the sea. They expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then...
Everyone watched helplessly as the two closest whirlpools gradually approached each other, merged, and formed a larger whirlpool. The whirlpool spread at an even faster rate, swallowing up everything along the way, until - boom!
There was a loud noise and everyone instinctively dodged, covering their faces with their arms, fearing that they would be attacked by the sea water, but in fact they were still some distance away.
Looking back, a powerful and condensed air column formed and went straight to the sky, driving the clouds to form a huge vortex.
Looking closely, I saw several whirlpools appearing in the sky, but their speed was far less than that of the ones on the sea.
This did not put everyone at ease, but instead made them even more frightened and uneasy. It was obvious that they were planning another big move.
"Forward...forward..." Shi Qixuan screamed in a shrill voice, pointing with trembling fingers in the direction their ship was heading.
Suddenly, several whirlpools appeared on the sea.
The sound that had been uncomfortable in the past was surprisingly effective now. Everyone came back to their senses from the shock and tried their best to find a solution.
This is far from the time to give up.
You Hao stared straight ahead with his eyes fixed, his hands tightly gripping the rudder. The sweat stung his eyes so much that he didn't even dare to wipe them.
"I see the coast, I see the coast." Before Qi Lian had time to be happy, he saw two whirlpools about to merge. He lowered his eyes in disappointment, and his voice was so low that only he could hear it.
"What should I do?" You Hao had been highly concentrated for a long time and didn't say much. When he spoke, his throat was dry and hoarse.
"Charge!" Xie Yu ordered without much thought. "There are mangroves along the coast. Wood-type psychics, use all your strength to grow vines and wrap them around the trees. The others, assist from the side to ensure safety."
It was a hasty decision, but the situation didn't allow him to think carefully. Xie Yu himself wasn't sure if he could rush through, but he knew that if he chose to go around, there wouldn't be even a slight chance of success.
You Hao nodded, his eyes still fixed on the front, adjusting his hands to the best position. He believed he could do it.
The entire boat was silent. Everyone silently pulled the ropes to make sure they were all connected. Then they opened their mouths to look at each other's water-repellent beads, reminding each other not to swallow or spit them out.
This is indeed quite difficult, and the probability of it happening is extremely high once it is hit by the air flow.
Everyone stared at the whirlpool that was getting closer and closer.
Closer, closer, inside!
They haven’t met yet, hurry up, go faster!
No, the pressure is too great and the boat can't move.
It doesn’t matter. I have the expedited talisman. The captain’s talisman will definitely be fine.
No one dared to make a sound, for fear of interrupting You Hao's concentration, and could only mutter silently in their hearts.
The boat entered the middle of two whirlpools and noticeably slowed down. Even with Yun Xiang's hastening talisman, it continued to move slower and slower.
The boat was pulled back and forth by the huge suction force of the two whirlpools, shaking constantly, and the people on board were thrown around.
If this continues, it will fall apart before we get out. Yun Xiang kept slapping defensive talismans onto the boat, squeezing and breaking them, and then immediately replacing them.
Xie Yu took out the protective formation that Xie Shaohui had given him and quickly installed it on the boat. The others also took out their life-saving weapons.
With everyone working together, the fishing boat finally stopped shaking and its speed increased slightly.
Everyone suddenly gained confidence.
The veins on You Hao's hand, which was holding the rudder, were throbbing with anxiety. Tengchong and Bie Nao came forward to help. The three of them worked together like a rope, ready to pull the boat back if it veered in either direction.
In this way, the fishing boat moved forward with difficulty but relatively steadily.
We're in the middle now, but we have to hold on! Everyone prayed silently.
We must hold on! Zhao Tianshuo patted the wall of the boat. Good fellow, hold on!
Behind...they meet at the back!
It's okay, I'm going out--
"Bang!" The boat was hit violently by the strong airflow formed when the two boats met. Coupled with the rolling sea water and the suction pulling, the boat actually began to move backward.
No! Everyone shouted anxiously in their hearts.
Xie Yu and Yun Xiang cast more than a dozen talismans of haste on the boat before the fishing boat could move forward slowly again.
However, due to the merging of the whirlpools behind him, a large whirlpool was about to form, the suction force became stronger and stronger, and the driving speed became slower and slower. What was worse was that he was forced to stop to fight against the suction force.
There is one third left, that’s ok!
We're going to...we're going to get out! Zhao Tianshuo and the other boys were so excited that they were about to jump up and down, but when they thought about the situation at the moment, they were nervous and excited at the same time. They sat there twisting their wheels left and right, almost poking holes in the floor.
In contrast, Xie Yu and Yun Xiang looked grave. This was because they had run out of expedited talismans, and even if Yun Xiang didn't stop, there wouldn't be enough.
Now, let alone the emergency talisman, she has no talismans at all.
Hey, don’t, don’t retreat, hold on!
Why did you retreat again!
Quick move, Captain, use the quick move!
Xie Yu and Yun Xiang almost simultaneously ran to help You Hao and the other two steer the boat. There was no other way; this was their last hope.
Everyone knew the reason instantly. They wanted to help, but there were too many people at the helm and it was useless. There seemed to be nothing they could do except pray.
The whirlpools successfully merged into one, and the suction force was several times stronger than before. You Hao and his companions tried their best, and the fishing boat began to squeak.
"Snap!" The rudder couldn't withstand the pull and was broken off by them.
Several people were caught off guard and fell backwards. Just as they were about to stand up, a vortex of air flow formed and the fishing boat was overturned in an instant.
The world spun around and the ship plummeted downwards.
The only consolation was that they were blown to the front of the vortex, but if they didn't escape in time, they would soon be sucked in again.
"Ah!" Everyone had never experienced flying in the air before, and they screamed in fear.
At this time, the fishing boat could no longer bear it and shattered directly.
“Plop!” “Plop!”…
Everyone fell into the water like boiling dumplings.
“Gulp!”…
Some remembered to hold the water-repellent beads in their mouths and quickly floated to the surface; some had forgotten and choked a few times, then suddenly woke up and took out a new one to hold in their mouths;
Some were completely forced to spit it out, and then they caught it again and put it in their mouths when it was about to sink to the bottom.
Luckily, no one swallowed it.
"Those with wood-type abilities, hurry up and take action. Everyone else, quickly untie the ropes. If you can't untie them, just cut them." It was already late, and they were still struggling around. Yun Xiang anxiously reminded everyone, especially the teenagers.
Then they remembered that the whirlpool behind them was still expanding. Their confused heads suddenly cleared up, and they swam forward with all their might, even if it meant flopping.
The Wood Element's ability quickly activated its ability to grow vines. The distance was not too far, and there was still a lot of ability left after the vines were born.
Everyone grabbed the vines and struggled forward.
The wind and waves on the sea grew stronger and stronger, and soon overturned them.
Cough cough... Even if you are choked to death, just float up and continue swimming forward.
Now that we've come this far, how could I be so unfair to myself by giving up?
They sank and floated for a while, trying their best to get ashore. Just as they were about to reach the mangroves, a whirlpool intercepted them.
But because we were close to the shore, the suction wasn't as strong as before. They were sucked back several meters. But it didn't matter; we could just climb back up.
At this critical moment, nothing can stop them from surviving!
