Chapter 331 Stormy Sea
The ship bound for the land of winter set sail, and Lin Tian was also on this giant ship. The gentle sea breeze caressed Lin Tian's face, making him squint his eyes.
There were many people on the ship, mostly heading to the Gear Kingdom. Merchants were the majority, as the Gear Kingdom had many rare and exotic creations, and trading with them could be quite profitable.
"Alright everyone! We're about to cross the Storm Sea, so everyone get back into your cabins!!"
A group of staff suddenly went up on the deck and began to disperse the crowd because they were about to cross the most dangerous section of the route.
Stormy Sea!
As its name suggests, the Storm Sea is a sea area where storms blow all year round. Legend has it that during a great war, the God of Storms left a relic in this sea area, which caused this extraordinary phenomenon.
Unlike the storms people usually experience, the storms here are extremely fierce, and once they start, most ships will be capsized.
Even the specially designed ships of the Gear Kingdom would have to pay a huge price to force their way through, and there was even a risk of them sinking.
This is why you rarely see people from the Gear Kingdom outside, because crossing this sea area is inherently a very difficult task.
Fortunately, this storm is not insurmountable. Every now and then, the storm sea will form a short gap, during which the storm energy will be greatly weakened, and this is the best time to cross the storm sea.
Of course, even so, there are still certain risks when crossing over. Therefore, if you want to arrive in the Gear Country safely, it is better to take some large ships. After all, they are often experienced, and the strength of their ships is something that those smuggling boats cannot achieve.
For example, right now, after discovering that they were about to enter the stormy sea, the crew of the Dokk quickly reacted.
They first dispersed the crowd on the deck, and then began to activate the ship's defensive magic one by one. In no time, the Dokk transformed into a sturdy sea fortress.
Looking into the distance, one could see that the horizon was shrouded in dark clouds, where the sea was churning and lightning was flashing. The sight alone would frighten an ordinary person away.
Fortunately, the experienced sailors were not afraid of the storm, and moreover, they had sailed this route many times before and were quite familiar with it.
Soon, the Dokk entered this terrifying sea area, and as soon as the ship entered, several bolts of lightning struck the ship.
boom! ! !
A thunderbolt struck the ship but was blocked by the activated defensive magic. Then, several more bolts of lightning struck, but they were all blocked by the defensive magic.
"See! Our Dokk is a renowned warship in this area; a mere stormy sea is naturally no challenge for us..."
After the lightning was blocked, the staff quickly showed off, which both reassured the tense crowd and demonstrated their own capabilities.
Hearing this, the still-shaken crowd felt much more at ease, but just as they relaxed, the ship began to rock violently again.
Fortunately, the staff quickly explained that this was a normal phenomenon, which calmed everyone down again.
This is indeed a normal phenomenon, because in addition to terrifying lightning, the storm sea also has fierce gales.
Even the largest ship will sway precariously in such strong winds, and this is when the captain's skills will be put to the test.
If the ship is steered well, everything will be safe and sound; if it is not steered well, the ship will be destroyed and people will die. Therefore, this is the most tense time for everyone on board.
Fortunately, Captain Dokko was a skilled seaman, and he was able to sail freely even on this stormy sea.
What followed was a thrilling but safe voyage. The passengers' emotions, which had been fluctuating with the wind, gradually calmed down until the staff announced that they were almost there, at which point they began to get restless.
However, Lin Tian frowned, because at this moment he kept hearing a strange surging sound, which sounded a bit like the sound of seawater surging.
Sure enough, the ocean suddenly began to tremble in the next second.
Boom! ! !
"This is... a tsunami?!"
Captain Dokko, sitting in his cabin, looked at the terrifying tsunami that was hundreds of meters high and was immediately shocked.
how so! ! !
Logically speaking, such a strong tsunami shouldn't have occurred here, but it happened so suddenly that Captain Dokke didn't have time to think and could only quickly take remedial action, starting to steer the ship to try to escape the area covered by the tsunami.
"Wha...what happened?"
"What happened? Is the wind picking up again?"
The commotion outside naturally attracted the attention of everyone inside the ship, but this time they were not as panicked as before. Perhaps the fact that the ship had sailed without any problems before made them trust the Dokko.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's probably just the wind picking up..."
Although the staff said this, a sense of panic had already arisen in their hearts. After all, nothing like this had ever happened before. Now, they could only pray that nothing bad had happened.
But fate had other plans. The tsunami erupted even more violently, like a terrifying demon opening its gaping maw, relentlessly pursuing the Dokk. In no time, it caught up with the stern of the ship.
In comparison, the Dokk looks like a small fish about to be swallowed by a giant whale.
boom! ! ! !
Another loud bang, as if something had hit the boat. This time, something serious had happened, as the impact nearly capsized the boat.
In an instant, a large amount of debris was thrown everywhere, and the people in the cabin were in chaos. People screamed, and even the staff members showed a hint of panic on their faces.
"It's over, it's really over..."
As the captain of the Dokkok looked at the constantly alarming instrument panel, despair instantly filled his face. It was as if all the strength had been drained from his body. After years of sailing, he knew that this time he was unlikely to survive.
Escape! We must escape!!!
In this final moment, the captain of the Dokkok disregarded the safety of his passengers. He threw off the control lever and immediately fled the captain's cabin, hoping to find a chance to escape before the Dokkok was swallowed by the tsunami.
However, the tsunami was moving at an unimaginable speed. He had just run out of the cabin when the tsunami rushed towards the ship, blotting out the sky in an instant. The captain of the Dokk could only watch all of this in despair.
