Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Could this weird storm be related to the undersea tomb?
Although the sea area they are currently in is still some distance away from their destination, it should be limited, so the two are likely to be related.
If you really want to talk about it, the sea monkeys and forbidden women in the underwater tomb can all be classified as supernatural.
The more he thought about Chen Ziyan, the more reliable his guess became, so he looked at the captain and asked: "Master, how far are we from the coordinates I gave you now?"
The reason why he asked this was because Chen Ziyan knew that this was crucial if he wanted to verify his conjecture.
The captain was thinking about how to persuade Chen Ziyan to change course so as to avoid the sea area that made him palpitate. He didn't expect that Chen Ziyan would suddenly ask this, and he was stunned subconsciously: "Huh?"
Chen Ziyan didn't care. The people around him were all thinking about things. This behavior was normal, so he repeated what he said.
After listening to Chen Ziyan's words, the captain suddenly realized that this might be an opportunity for him.
Rather than using reasons to persuade Chen Ziyan to change course, perhaps it would be better to start with the cost.
Based on his understanding of Chen Ziyan, the other party should also value this more.
From the captain's point of view, the cost of changing the route may seem high, but there should be only one thing that really worries Chen Ziyan, and that is the time wasted.
After these thoughts quickly passed through his mind, the captain responded: "Mr. Chen, we are very close. I estimate it will only take a few hours."
Although it was not stated explicitly, Chen Ziyan knew that the captain was talking about straight-line distance.
He made a silent calculation in his mind and felt that he should not have guessed that this strange storm was probably related to the undersea tomb.
After all, a journey of less than two hours is nothing on the sea. To say it is within easy reach is not an exaggeration at all.
The captain was still waiting for Chen Ziyan to say something so that he could take the opportunity to express his thoughts, but Chen Ziyan suddenly fell into deep thought, so he had no choice but to take the initiative.
"Master Chen, how about we... go around?"
"Go around?" After hearing the captain's words, Chen Ziyan broke away from his thoughts.
"Yes, I have heard from the elders that most of the areas of the 'Abandoned Land' are fixed, and there is no need for us to forcefully break through." The captain said immediately.
Chen Ziyan had to admit that the captain's words made sense, and that taking a detour was a more appropriate choice than forcing his way in. However, there was one question that the other party ignored, and that was whether their destination would be this so-called 'abandoned land'.
When Chen Ziyan expressed his thoughts, the captain who was about to work harder was stunned.
Yes, will the two overlap?
Judging from his experience, this possibility is neither high nor low.
As for the purpose of Chen Ziyan's trip, he didn't dare to say that he knew everything in detail, but he would understand a little more.
It is clear that there is no need to be sure, as long as there is a certain possibility, your detour plan will definitely be rejected.
Looking at the grimacing captain, Chen Ziyan comforted him and said, "Master, think about it from another perspective. If the place we want to go is right in front, then no matter how we go around, we still have to break through, right?"
Compared to the captain who was still doubtful, Chen Ziyan was basically certain at this moment that the undersea tomb he was looking for was in the so-called 'abandoned land', and most likely even in its core.
Although Chen Ziyan only knows a little about Feng Shui, he still has some common sense. In addition, the undersea tomb was created by Wang Zanghai, a Feng Shui master, so he naturally came to this conclusion.
He didn't dare to say that all the 'abandoned places' were Feng Shui bureaus, but the one in front of him probably didn't escape.
"This..." The captain was speechless for a moment, and Chen Ziyan's words left him unable to argue.
After all, this is indeed the case. If the destination is in the sea ahead, no matter how much you go around, you still have to go inside and take a walk.
"Relax, wait until the storm subsides, let's go in and take a look and we'll find out what's going on." Chen Ziyan seemed to be persuading him gently, but the meaning of his words was full of doubts.
Obviously, he no longer wanted to listen to the captain's persuasion and directly made the next plan.
After all, he is the leader of this action, and whether he follows the advice or not is entirely up to him.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, Mr. Chen." The captain also understood this and had no choice but to say.
Otherwise, what else can he do, forcefully express that he has different opinions?
Unless he was having fun with his head, he would definitely not do such a thing.
Chen Ziyan was willing to listen to what he said to give him face, but if he wasn't willing, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was the real boss.
"You guys don't have any objections, right?" Seeing the captain nodding, Chen Ziyan looked at the other people present.
As the saying goes, even if the outcome of some things is already determined, you still need to try your best to follow the process.
Fortunately, the temporary clerks recruited by Chen Ziyan were all very understanding of the ways of the world, and no one openly refuted his words on such occasions. They all nodded in agreement.
After about an hour or so, the dark sky in the distance gradually became clearer and turned gray.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan knew that the time he had been waiting for was coming. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to start taking action again soon.
Things turned out just as he expected. The wind and waves calmed down almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the color of the sky returned to normal.
"Master, let's pull up the anchor and set sail."
When everything was back on track, Chen Ziyan immediately found the captain.
The captain had already made mental preparations at this moment and had made preparations in advance. He immediately called on his sailors to work and sailed the ship away from this natural shelter and towards their previous location.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Chen Ziyan's eyes wandered around.
The last time there was an abnormality in the sky, he fell asleep. This time he would not miss it again. He had to witness the whole process with his own eyes.
After all, no matter how detailed other people’s descriptions are, it’s not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.
As for whether there will be another storm, Chen Ziyan has no doubt about this. You must know that this is Wang Zanghai's handiwork.
What happened was just as Chen Ziyan expected. When their ship advanced to a certain range, the sea that had just returned to calm once again stirred up waves, and the sky began to darken a little bit.
When these signs appeared, Chen Ziyan was not too surprised, but the temporary workers behind him could not remain calm.
These people also did not return to the cabin, so they all witnessed the sudden change just now.
"Master, it's time to bring your baby out."
Chen Ziyan ignored the whispers behind him and shouted towards the captain's cabin.
Knowing what was in the undersea tomb, he had already guessed what he would encounter next, so he naturally had to prepare in advance.
He dared to lead people to rush in, naturally he had his own confidence, one of which was that he knew that the ship under his feet was not ordinary, and could be regarded as an armed cargo ship in a sense.
"...Okay." The captain hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
It wasn't that he didn't want to contribute, but he was afraid that those who were temporarily recruited would leak the matter later.
After all, those 'treasures' of his are all prohibited items.
