Chapter 17 - The sea is calm

"Exactly. The public channel shouldn't just be used for searching for relatives. It should also be used for communication among people in the martial arts world!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking, and the previous notice about searching for relatives was instantly drowned out by the hubbub!

But those martial artists who were searching for people didn't complain. After all, they had done their best in the search for a whole day. If they still couldn't find the person, it was likely that they were not in the same area of the martial arts world.

"Just now, I seemed to see a huge sailboat passing by in the distance!"

"Is that really the case? Could it be that you were seeing things again?"

"A few days ago, many people claimed to have seen a huge sailboat, but there was no further news later."

"Do you think I'm seeing things? My eyesight is as sharp as an eagle. I can clearly see the bottom line of the eye chart. There's no mistake. Don't mention any hallucinations. I'm in high spirits at the moment!"

"That's true. Recently, a great martial artist has lowered the conditions for exchanging fresh water and seafood. Most people can survive, so there's no reason to have hallucinations."

"I wonder which great martial artist is on that boat. Come and pick me up. I'm willing to serve you. There's only two squares of land left on my island!"

"Get on the boat? I'm afraid you'll lose your life even faster! Two martial artists in my sect built a wooden boat, but it was attacked by sea beasts just one day at sea, and both the boat and the people were destroyed!" This was said by a member of the Di Lin faction!

Although Di Lin Tian Xia had ordered everyone not to spread the things within the sect, at this moment, the binding force was weak, and those who wanted to speak would still speak directly. At most, they would be expelled from the sect.

However, do those people care? Definitely not! If they cared, they wouldn't have violated the rules of Di Lin Tian Xia!

After staying in the Di Lin faction for several days, there was no obvious advantage. The only convenience was the smooth flow of information, and in other aspects, it was even more difficult than being alone.

The supplies handed over every week became a heavy burden for most people.

If it weren't for the Di Lin faction, renting tools in the trading hall might get more supplies. Besides the rent, at least there was no need to hand over supplies.

"Is the sea really that dangerous? Is a huge ship safer?"

"Don't worry too much. According to my speculation, a huge ship will be attacked even more fiercely!"

When Xiao Yi heard this, his heart moved. He thought to himself, "There's some truth to that. The medium-sized sailboat has been attacked too frequently."

"How do you know?" Everyone questioned his speculation.

"It's just a speculation. I don't know if it's true or not!"

"Cut, you're just talking nonsense! You're just scaring people!"

"Yes, a huge ship must be safer!"

"Everyone, look outside. A huge ship might not be in a good situation either!"

"What's going on outside?"

"It's calm and peaceful here!"

"Oh no, I see a tornado here!"

"The wind and waves are rising here!"

"I'm so scared. It's so cold. Who can save me? My wooden shed has been blown apart!"

Xiao Yi quickly asked about the situation of An Yue and Su Wan. Yuan Nong and Jiang Yuntian had been reporting their situations, so there was no need to ask them.

"There's nothing unusual here." An Yue replied.

"The wind and waves are quite strong here, but I haven't seen a tornado." Su Wan responded.

Jiang Yuntian said in the group, "I suspect that the tornado is coming from my direction!"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuntian's words, Xiao Yi immediately reacted and asked, "What was the trajectory of the tornado at that time?"

"From due south to due north!" Jiang Yuntian replied.

Xiao Yi gestured on the map. The wind on the island was quite strong, and the trees were swaying and making noise.

He glanced at the radar detector and didn't find any signs of a tornado.

So he roughly judged that the tornado should be at least thirty-two li away from the island.

When Jiang Yuntian saw it, the tornado was moving from due south to the north. If it continued in a straight line, it would definitely land on Xiao Yi's island, but there was no sign of the tornado approaching for now.

If the tornado moves in an arc, it will either turn towards the northwest or the northeast.

And there's no sign of wind at An Yue's place in the due west. It can be almost determined that the tornado is moving in an arc towards the northeast.

Yuan Nong is sailing from the northeast to the southwest. He is very likely to encounter the tornado!

Even if he doesn't encounter it, he will still be deeply affected!

"Old Yuan, sail due west immediately!" Xiao Yi immediately ordered and detailed his speculation.

Yuan Nong didn't hesitate and immediately adjusted the course of the ship and sailed westward.

Jiang Yuntian immediately traded the SSS-level ship anchor on the sailboat to Yuan Nong!

Yuan Nong accepted the trade, and the ship anchor was automatically installed on the medium-sized sailboat.

"If you really find the tornado, be sure to inform me in advance!" Xiao Yi reminded.

If the tornado hits Yuan Nong's sailboat, it will be devastating. If it's not repaired in time, Yuan Nong is likely to be buried in the sea! Jiang Yuntian had repaired the ship five times the day before, and these five repairs had exhausted half of Xiao Yi's inventory!

If Xiao Yi hadn't traded supplies to Jiang Yuntian in time, Jiang Yuntian might be drifting in the sea at this moment!

"Yes!" Yuan Nong replied.

At this moment, An Ran, who had been in a stalemate with the sea snakes for a whole day, felt her arm go numb.

Just as An Ran was about to collapse, the sea snakes suddenly gave up and swam towards the distance.

The iron spear in An Ran's hand slipped, and she slumped to the ground. Looking at the increasing wind, she struggled to crawl into the wooden shed.

She glanced at the island tablet. Everyone was still discussing the tornado. An Ran didn't pay much attention and fell into a deep sleep.

Although she didn't catch the supply box, after a day of struggling with the sea snakes, she was extremely exhausted!

"If I'm in a small boat and encounter a tornado, is there any chance of survival?"

"Yes, go and find it in your dream. You can have everything in your dream!"

"The tornado might lift the small boat into the air. You'll experience flying, and then you'll fall heavily back into the sea!"

"If the small boat isn't directly destroyed by the tornado, it might still be smashed to pieces!"

"What about a huge ship?"

"A huge ship can't be lifted into the air, but the tornado will definitely affect the ship.

Jiang Yuntian sat side by side with his young son, Junjun. At this moment, the sea beasts were quiet. The two of them closed their eyes and concentrated, conserving their energy.

"Kacha!"

"Warning: The ship is under attack and severely damaged. Repair it immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuntian woke up suddenly and immediately started repairing the hull. There were still a lot of supplies that Xiao Yi had given him before!

After the repair was completed, Jiang Yuntian quickly walked to the side of the ship. He saw a huge claw breaking through the waves and pointing directly at him.

Jiang Yuntian swayed, but couldn't avoid it. He quickly waved the sword in his hand, and the huge claw was cut off with a sound. It danced wildly on the deck!

Jiang Yuntian succeeded, but the hull shook violently, and the sound of cracking continued.

"Warning: The ship is under attack and severely damaged. Repair it immediately!"

Jiang Yuntian quickly ran to the island tablet and was shocked to see that the ship was full of holes and seawater was rushing in!

He immediately sent a message to Xiao Yi, "Brother Xiao, I encountered a giant squid, and the hull has been poked full of holes!"

"Woof woof woof!"

Wangcai beside the island tablet barked furiously, which alarmed Xiao Yi.

He quickly got up, rushed to the island tablet, and quickly sent the required supplies to Jiang Yuntian. At the same time, he said to Yuan Nong, "Old Yuan, quickly give the tranquilizer dart to Brother Jiang!"

"Yes!" Yuan Nong was dozing off, but the alarm sound of the island tablet was enough to wake him up.

"[Tranquilizer dart] (SS level) *1, the transaction is completed."

Jiang Yuntian responded and pushed the tranquilizer machine to the deck and set the target.

"The target is confirmed to be a giant squid. It is expected that one dart will make it unconscious for two hours! If you want to extend the time, you can send more darts. Each additional dart will double the unconscious time."

"You can also shoot three darts there!" Xiao Yi suggested.

"No need!" Jiang Yuntian said coldly, "I want to deal with it myself!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuntian set the number of tranquilizer darts to one and pressed the launch button!

The tranquilizer machine automatically locked onto the most vulnerable part of the squid.

Whoosh!

The dart broke through the water and hit the head of the squid!

During the short interval after launching the dart, the squid attacked the ship again. After Jiang Yuntian repaired it, there was no more prompt of damage on the island tablet.

Jiang Yuntian threw the ordinary anchor on the ship. It wasn't to stop the ship, but to make it easier to board the ship later.

"Junjun, stay here and don't move. If someone comes looking for me, just say that I've gone into the sea." Jiang Yuntian reminded.

"Got it!" Junjun replied.

Jiang Yuntian held the net, grasped the sword, and jumped into the sea!

Plop!

Jiang Yuntian dived into the water and saw that the giant squid was slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. He quickly swam closer and chopped off its head with a sword!

The effect of the tranquilizer dart was really astonishing!

The squid was decapitated, but it didn't react at all.

Jiang Yuntian thought for a moment, cut off several giant claws of the squid, put them into the net, and tied them to the anchor.

Then he quickly climbed back onto the ship along the anchor chain!
