Hu Xiaotian roughly estimated that he was still nearly three miles away from the prison. He looked up and saw that the originally bright and clear moon was actually hidden in the clouds. There was no moon and not a single star in sight. The entire python was
The island was shrouded in a thick layer of night, and the wind was obviously much stronger. People walking with the wind felt as if they were being pushed hard by a pair of invisible hands.
Hu Xiaotian took out his homemade compass to identify the direction. He must sneak into the prison as soon as possible and hide in the dark. He thought of the black-nosed bird and took off the hanging birdcage from his waist. Fortunately, the black-nosed bird was safe. Hu Xiaotian was afraid
Xia Changming was worried that something would happen to him, so he went back to find someone to rescue him blindly. He quickly wrote down the news that he was safe with charcoal, stuck it on the calf of the Black-nosed Bird, and released it.
Hu Xiaotian's worries were not unnecessary. After Xia Changming was separated from Hu Xiaotian on Mangjiao Island, he tried his best to control the snow sculpture and wanted it to fly back to its original place. However, the snow sculpture was frightened because the strange bird that came to hunt just now was named Fei Xiao, and it was a snow sculpture.
Xia Changming originally thought that this strange bird had become extinct long ago, but he unexpectedly encountered it in the sky above Mangjiao Island. He secretly sighed that this trip was not going well, and while he was feeling sorry for himself, he could not help but be deeply worried about Hu Xiaotian's safety.
Finally, he regained control of the snow sculpture and piloted it again to fly to Mangjiao Island. However, when it was still five miles away from Mangjiao Island, the snow sculpture was unwilling to move forward anyway. Xia Changming was furious and was about to punish the snow sculpture.
At this time, he saw a white light and shadow approaching quickly in the distance. When he looked closely, he saw that it was Xiao Fei who had just been separated.
Only after Xiao Fei got closer did he realize that there was no one on its back.
The snow sculpture was overjoyed to see its companion and owner, and made a loud chirping sound. Da Fei also chirped continuously in response.
Xia Changming's face turned pale. He secretly thought that something was wrong. Hu Xiaotian should be in trouble. He was extremely upset. If something happened to his master, he would definitely be blamed for his death. How could he have the face to meet other soldiers?
Xia Changming finally calmed down. Since what happened, it is useless to go to Python Island now. The only way is to return as soon as possible, look for large troops, and use all his strength to attack Python Island. Maybe he can find traces of Hu Xiaotian. Xia Changming is preparing to leave
As he was leaving, he saw a red light and shadow in the distance quickly approaching. It was the Black-nosed Bird that he handed to Hu Xiaotian as a contact tool. Xia Changming stretched out his hand, and the Black-nosed Bird fell into his palm.
Black-kissed Bird took off the bamboo tube from his calf and saw the note inside. His hands shook with excitement. Although it was a small note, it was enough to prove that Hu Xiaotian was safe and sound.
Xia Changming unfolded the note and looked at it, only to see it said: Safe and sound. No need to worry, wait for the news. Don't make any rash moves! Xia Changming was already admiring Hu Xiaotian at this time. He didn't know what Hu Xiaotian was doing in that situation.
How did he escape from Fei Xiao's claws and successfully land on Python Island? It seems that Hu Xiaotian not only relied on his first-class martial arts and superhuman mind. Luck should be on his side. Maybe this is what is often called Hongfu.
Qitian.
Hu Xiaotian did not feel that he was so blessed, because not long after he landed, strong winds began to blow in the night sky, and the waves crashed on the shore. In the dark night, one wave was stronger than the other. What was even more unlucky was that at this time, there was a sudden heavy rain in the sky.
, the entire Mangjiao Island is in a state of turmoil.
Hu Xiaotian finally understood that Zhuge Guanqi had told him to pay attention to the weather at sea, reminding him that the enemy was not only the pirates of Mangjiao Island, but also the unpredictable heaven. In such bad weather, even the pirates were unwilling to go out on patrol.
Of course, Hu Xiaotian would not be exposed easily, but after taking a few steps on the island, he felt that it was difficult to move. There was a strong wind in the sky, lightning and thunder, and Hu Xiaotian had to find a rock to temporarily avoid the storm. He raised his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance, but saw
The waves on the dark sea surface were undulating, and white lines one after another in the distance were quickly approaching here. Only when they got closer did they see clearly that the white lines were large waves with a height of several feet. The huge waves seemed to be swept by a giant wave.
The invisible big hand hit the rock hard. White foam flew everywhere, and the dull sound was like the deep roar of an ancient beast.
Hu Xiaotian sighed secretly. Sure enough, the weather was unpredictable. Unexpectedly, there was a storm coming just after landing on Mangjiao Island. He couldn't help but start to worry about his fleet, but he didn't know whether Yang Yuanqing and Chang Fanqi could command the fleet to escape the storm.
.
"Send the order, all ships keep a distance and speed up towards the direction of Mangjiao Island!" Yang Yuanqing roared at the top of his lungs. A bolt of lightning twisted across the sky, making his face pale as paper, and lightning flashed from his eyes.
The moment it passed by, the panic in his eyes was clearly reflected. Although Yang Yuanqing was an experienced navy general, he had never encountered such a powerful hurricane. He had served in Yongjiang for many years, and the violent waves in the sea were terrifying.
Compared with the waves of Yongjiang River, the latter is simply gentle spring water.
The sky was still clear when Hu Xiaotian left, but after entering the night, the hurricane rushed over suddenly. The hurricane screamed arrogantly, passed through the sail rope at an alarming speed, and fell with a heavy downpour.
The waves became turbulent in an instant, setting off huge waves as high as five feet, rocking their warship crazily like a mountain. One moment they were thrown high into the night sky, as if they were riding on the top of the wave, and the next moment they were tossed again.
Pushed into the bottom of the wave, the seawater hit the bow of the boat and slapped on their heads and faces like a flood.
Yang Yuanqing knew that this might be just the beginning. The violent storms and raging waves would become more ferocious, and might last for several hours, or might last for several days. He reminded all the soldiers to cheer up and devote themselves to this war.
In the struggle of wind and rain.
Amidst the strong wind and lightning, the two battleships were unable to avoid each other and were pushed by the big waves and crashed into each other. Where the sides of the ships collided, sawdust flew everywhere. The battleship on the left side was severely damaged, and a gap of about ten feet square was opened in the hull.
, the turbulent sea water immediately poured in through the gap, and before the crew could make repairs, another huge wave hit the battleship, knocking the battleship to one side. People around him even saw the keel and deck of the bottom of the ship.
Dozens of soldiers on board flew up like paper figures, screaming and waving their arms, and fell into the rough sea.
In such a situation, the most difficult thing is to keep the battleship balanced. The fifty thunderbolts that Hu Xiaotian had previously transported to the warship caused a lot of trouble at this time. The two thunderbolts were not fixed due to the tilt of the hull.
, and sliding along the deck from the starboard side of the ship to the port side, the two soldiers who could not dodge were directly crushed by the artillery car and turned into a pool of flesh and blood. However, the cannon's force did not stop, hitting the port side, and
The guardrail on the port side was smashed into pieces and sank directly into the sea.
When Yang Yuanqing directed everyone to break through the waves, Chang Fanqi grabbed the cable and resisted the hurricane that was enough to sweep him away. He moved to Yang Yuanqing's side with difficulty and yelled with all his strength: "We must find a place to take shelter from the wind first...
...Otherwise...the entire army may be annihilated..."
Just as Chang Fanqi was speaking, three more warships collided with each other due to loss of control. Yang Yuanqing looked through the light of lightning and saw that two warships had been overturned by huge waves on the right rear of the main ship.
It is slowly sinking into the dark water.
In the terrible hurricane, he seemed to hear the cry for help and the wails of the fallen soldiers. Yang Yuanqing said to Chang Fanqi: "My lord... is still on Python Island..." Although he knew that he should choose to take shelter from the wind, but his mission
and duty did not allow him to do so.
Chang Fanqi roared: "Do you want everyone to die together?"
Of course Yang Yuanqing didn't want to, but he couldn't leave his lord in a dangerous place and turn a blind eye. The two looked at each other in a stalemate.
A ray of white light passed over their heads, but Xia Changming arrived in time riding a snow sculpture. He shouted loudly: "Get out of here quickly. There is a reef in the northwest with a lagoon... You can avoid the wind and rain there. I will lead the way for you."
…”
When the two of them saw Xia Changming arriving, they knew that Hu Xiaotian should be fine. Yang Yuanqing then ordered the fleet to follow the snow sculpture towards the lagoon. The lagoon that Xia Changming said was separated by a dam-like reef, with a wide water area and a diameter of ten miles.
On the left and right, there is a typical atoll lagoon. The circulation of the lagoon water is affected by the width of the tidal inlet and the tidal range. The strong wind blowing into the lagoon also has an impact, which can raise the lake level and cause the lake water to leak out when it stops. The velocity of the lake water varies across the
It is the largest of the waterways. However, it becomes calm when entering the lagoon. The atoll effectively blocks the surrounding huge waves, creating a strange situation where the waves outside the reef are shocking and the water inside the reef is calm.
Twenty warships fought hard against the wind and waves. When they arrived at the lagoon, six of them were already missing. Yang Yuanqing saw two of them sinking into the sea with his own eyes. The other four must have been in danger. But right now, he had no time to look for those warships.
The missing ship saw the wind and waves getting bigger and bigger, and they had to enter the lagoon first to avoid the danger.
Chang Fanqi's eyes were fixed on the front, and he saw the rocks in front of him that were almost flush with the sea surface. If it weren't for the huge waves that hit the rocks one after another and stirred up water like broken silver, he would have been almost unable to distinguish it.
Xia Changming, who was leading the way in the air, shouted loudly. His voice was blurred by the hurricane. Fortunately, Yang Yuanqing heard his voice. Although he could not hear what he was talking about clearly, he saw the waterway ahead and the rocks in time.
There is a waterway about ten feet wide. Such a waterway is not considered wide for their warships. Many narrow places can only accommodate the ship's hull and can pass through. The waves that come and go make the waterway at the entrance of the lagoon become intermittently invisible.
Now, it has caused greater trouble to their smooth entry.
