Chapter 215 Storm Trial
The rumbling thunder rolled in, causing everyone on the Sound of Dawn to frown.
At this time, everyone on the ship came to the deck, and at the end of the field of vision was a dark sea area that covered the entire field of vision.
Rolling dark clouds covered the sky, and blue and purple lightning kept falling.
The storm was so exaggerated that everyone couldn't help but frown.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Porro at the bow.
It seemed as if he felt everyone's gaze.
Pororo said: "This is a storm of a higher level, stronger than the one we encountered before leaving the Home Sea!"
These words made everyone's faces even more solemn.
They had now passed through the Bright and Confused Sea and arrived at the last sea area ruled by the Sea God, the route to the South Storm Sea.
And ahead is the storm interception zone that we encounter every time we arrive at a sea area.
This time, the storm ahead was stronger than any they had encountered before, even stronger than the severe storm caused when the cracks opened in the Home Sea.
"It seems that this time it won't be so easy." Alka said.
Then he turned to everyone and said, "Get ready and tie yourselves up."
Cables dropped from above one after another and were tied around everyone's waists.
As the ship accelerated, the storm ahead was getting closer and closer, and the lightning that fell almost like raindrops made everyone sweat on their faces.
A stronger wind than anyone had ever felt before blew from the front, interweaving with the strong wind that kept pushing forward to form a vortex.
Before they even reached the inside of the storm, they were quickly dragged inside from the outside by the spiral wind.
The familiar singing voice came again.
This time, Julia revealed her true form, and her fish tail brought a large spiral of water that allowed her to float on the deck.
This time the singing was even more magical, firmly stabilizing everyone and allowing them to weather the storm with a steady posture.
As they were dragged, they truly entered the storm.
Several bolts of lightning fell at the same time and struck the shield of Sound of Dawn. The entire shield was shaking wildly and even had several cracks.
In this state, the shield can't block many attacks.
"We can't go on like this. The shield will be broken in a few hits, and the lightning will definitely destroy the Sound of Dawn." Julia said loudly as she looked at the madly falling lightning.
But how could Alka not know this? He immediately shouted, "Jason, go to the treasury and charge more energy stones. The longer you can delay, the better."
In order to block such lightning, the ship's shield is obviously not enough to rely on the spell array that automatically absorbs magic power.
Extra energy must be used for rapid charging.
Hearing Alka's words, Jason nodded, but the strong wind made it difficult for him to move.
The Voice of Dawn controlled the ropes that tied him and threw him into the cabin.
However, the entire shield was already covered with cracks and was about to shatter.
"No, it's too late!" Xia Daiti shouted loudly.
At this time, Juanlu said loudly: "Can we dive into the water? Can't the ghost ship dive?"
At this time, the sound of dawn was surging up and down along the undulating sea water, and was even catapulted into the air.
In addition to lightning, tsunamis were also constantly hitting the side of the ship from behind.
Coupled with the ocean currents that had already begun to become somewhat chaotic, the Sound of Dawn kept swaying from side to side.
At this point, their situation could really be described as precarious.
"No, you must not dive into the water!" Porro suddenly turned around and said loudly.
At this time, his body was covered with lines like water flows, and he kept blocking the sea water that was hitting them from the side.
Otherwise, they would most likely be hit by the waves and sink into the water.
"There are more undercurrents under the sea, and they flow deeper. Once you dive into the sea and get caught in them, you can never float up again."
Although it became a ghost ship and was able to dive into the water, it was placed in relatively peaceful waters.
After all, once the Sound of Dawn sinks into the water, its mobility will be greatly weakened, and it will no longer be able to move as freely as on the sea.
As Pororo's voice fell.
The shield above his head shattered.
At the moment of the shattering, a bolt of lightning struck through the gap and directly made a big hole in the deck.
The mirror had already appeared on Alka's face at this moment.
As the shield shattered, countless mirrors began to combine and overlap and float above the head, acting as temporary shields to block the lightning strikes.
Two more bolts of lightning struck.
But this time, with the blocking of the mirror, they only broke a large piece of the mirror, but the attack did not fall on the ship after all.
The shattered pieces of mirror dissipated into the air.
A large amount of pink mist poured out from under Alka's feet and hit the bottom of the mirror, as if it was being reinforced.
“Boom!”
There was a deafening sound, and a thick bolt of lightning fell from above their heads.
The violent sound of lightning and the exaggerated flash made it impossible for them to hear or see clearly.
This lightning instantly split all the mirrors above Alka's head and the pink mist at the bottom.
Even Alka himself was knocked down by the force of the lightning, flying in the air and being pulled down by the cable controlled by the Voice of Dawn.
At this time, Alka's hair was slightly curled and emitted a faint smoke.
The power of nature cannot be easily stopped by human power.
At this time, the shield finally rose again, but the shield that had just been raised did not last for a few seconds before it was shattered by the incoming lightning.
If the power of lightning cannot break the shield in one go, then the energy will continue to be supplied.
Once shattered, the time needed to re-condense the shield is enough for the next lightning to smash the entire ship into powder .
At this time, the sea water around the ship began to boil unnaturally, even temporarily suppressing the surging waves around it.
The strange sight made everyone feel exhausted both physically and mentally.
"What's going on here?"
However, Jason, who had just come up, did not get any answer.
The lightning continued to strike downwards.
Two large holes appeared on the deck again.
This time Alka's body did not change, but he stood still.
Alka's true body has sunk into the dream.
Only the last resort can be used.
At this moment, he was looking at the huge crystal floating in the center of his dream bubble, and the scattered points of light in the crystal that were dancing like fireflies.
“It’s time.”
A mirror appeared on Alka's face as he stood in the dream world. Then he waved his hand, and a huge round mirror appeared next to the crystal, floating slowly.
At the same time, the substitute in the outside world also condensed into a circular mirror.
In the dream, Alka controlled the energy in the crystal to slowly float out and float towards the mirror.
People outside also discovered that the mirror was flashing, with points of light floating out, and then one after another, small spherical points of light flew out.
These light spots gathered together the moment they flew out and turned into something.
This was some kind of iron thing, three in total, and they floated around the ship under the control of the stand, following a strange structure.
Arranged in a triangular array, with their tops clustered together.
"Simon, help me fix it!"
Hearing this, Simon raised his brass-colored construct arm, and the treasure on his right index finger glowed slightly.
Three balls of metal were thrown out by him.
These metals deformed in the air and then stuck to the three metal sticks, fixing the three sticks firmly around the hull.
Thunder and lightning struck again.
But this time the lightning did not strike them straightly, but turned in the air and all struck towards the spire.
You can see the electric light transmitting along the three iron pillars and then pouring into the sea.
Alka, the stand-in, looked at everyone and said, "Try to speed up. We can't hold out for much longer."
The ship picked up speed.
But they had just entered this stormy sea area not long ago, and it was obviously not possible for them to leave this sea area in a short period of time.
Along with the boiling sea water, a black pillar of cloud emerged from the dark clouds.
Accompanied by lightning and thunder, it rushed straight towards them, but this time the target was not the ship, but Porro who was standing on the bow.
At this time, Porro was standing at the bow, his eyes glowing scarlet, his hands raised in claws.
The water tattoo on his body is flowing wildly and emitting a bright blue light.
"This is the final test! May the ocean bear witness!"
He roared, and the water on his body began to twirl and spin, and the spiral black mist hit him directly.
The Sound of Dawn is traveling rapidly across the stormy sea.
All the thunder and lightning around stopped in an instant.
"What's going on? What happened to Pororo?"
Alka asked while looking at Pororo at the bow. At this time, the spiral cloud connected to the dark clouds in the sky was still wrapping Pororo.
"boom!"
An even more violent and exaggerated sound was heard, and a bolt of lightning like a beam of light struck straight down.
It penetrated the entire cloud column and hit the Porro inside directly.
"What's going on? Why did you go there?!"
Watching this scene, Alka roared with his eyes wide open.
The triangle formed by the three lightning rods was actually completely useless.
As this pillar of lightning fell, the dark clouds that engulfed Porro also completely dissipated.
At this time, Porro revealed his figure, with lines all over his body as if he had been struck by lightning.
He was screaming in pain.
Then he opened his hands, and the lightning rods that were originally fixed on both sides fell into his hands.
"Go full speed ahead, don't worry about me, this is my final test!"
After saying that he roared.
The lightning in the sky fell again, but this time, all the lightning that fell around the Sound of Dawn gathered towards Porro.
And the originally boiling sea water calmed down again, but this time it was a surging wave that no longer troubled the Sound of Dawn. All the waves gathered at the bow and slammed into Porro's body madly.
If you are at a very long distance at this time, look in this direction.
You can see that the thick dark clouds that originally covered the entire sea area are now slowly rotating in a spiral shape.
"What is that?" asked Lucelia, who was on the deck, pointing to the side of the ship.
Everyone turned to look.
A strange color appeared there, and then it was as if the sea and space were torn apart.
Crazy purple lightning gathered there.
A huge hole in space was torn open, and even the water flows on both sides were separated.
All the thunder and lightning kept falling in that direction.
Where Alka and the others were, both the tsunami, the strong winds, and the thunder and lightning were slightly weakening.
The storm abated slightly.
The power of the space opening seemed to interfere with the intensity of the storm.
“That’s not…” Everyone recognized it at this time.
This was exactly the same passage they had passed through when they had left their home sea.
And this time they watched from outside as the passage was torn open.
As they moved further and further away from the passage.
Finally, we saw several huge ships breaking through the waves and arriving in the stormy sea.
They witnessed at this moment the opening of the gate to the Southern Storm Sea.
They really encountered everything.
As they moved faster, the crack in space completely disappeared from their field of vision, but at this moment lightning still occasionally flowed into Porro's body along the lightning rod.
The lightning patterns all over Porro's body were constantly flashing and emitting purple lightning.
The water still clings to my body.
Although everyone was worried, they could only keep themselves steady at this moment and block the huge tsunami that kept hitting them.
There is nothing that can be done.
…
"Chief, what's wrong?"
A member of a strange race with a human body, a snake tail and four arms looked at the person in front of him and asked.
The person in front of him was of the same race as him, except that he looked older and more stable.
Hearing this, the old man from an unknown race who was called the patriarch turned his head.
"A new batch of people is coming."
As the clan leader spoke, he stood in place, looking at the spiraling dark clouds at the limit of his vision.
"Why are the dark clouds in that sea area spinning in a spiral shape? This has never happened before."
"So you're too young, that's the Storm Trial."
"At this time and in this place?" The young man's tone was full of confusion.
"Maybe it's a helpless move, maybe it's a move to meet the challenge head-on."
The place where the two were talking at this time was the top of a mountain standing above the sea.
After sailing for most of the day, Alka and his companions finally passed through the stormy sea.
As the storm, rain and lightning disappeared behind him.
Pororo, holding two lightning rods in his hands, fell from the bow.
The two iron rods in his hands were completely stuck to his hands, and his body was covered with charred marks.
The whole body has been completely disfigured.
Everyone wanted to help him, but it was difficult for them to reach him. There was a strong repulsive force preventing them from getting close, and they could only watch.
Regardless of their physical fatigue, they all gathered around, looking at the injuries on Porro's body, all of them frowned.
Several ribbons flew over and wrapped around Porollo's body. As Julia sang, light green spots quickly flowed into Porollo's body along the ribbons.
However, this only healed the cracked parts of his body and was of no benefit to the burns that had already occurred.
Pororo was still lying on the deck, his life seemed extremely critical.
Alka stretched out his hands and touched the lightning rod in his hand, which was completely stuck together.
At the click, the two lightning rods dissipated into golden spots of light and disappeared into the air.
The skin on Porro's hands had completely disappeared, leaving only flesh and blood, with many charred marks on it.
Even at this moment, there was a flash of lightning on his body from time to time.
"As for the other injuries, there's nothing I can do."
"What is his condition now? Is his life in danger?" Alka asked hurriedly.
As long as they are not life-threatening, these injuries can be treated.
Julia nodded: "Although his condition is very poor at the moment, his physique is very strong. At least his life is not in danger for the time being."
One can feel that the life force in her body is surging, and her soul is still intact.
But this is just the limit that Julia can feel.
"……That's good."
Alka said, nodding.
If all else fails, they still have one last trick up their sleeve, which is the effect of the spell that once put Simon into a stagnation state.
As a member of the ship, Simon also knew this spell, but he just didn't use it very well.
But during this time, both Jason and Julia learned the spell.
This is the last insurance measure.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then carefully carried him into the infirmary with everyone else.
Just then, an alarm sounded in the lookout room.
Hearing the sound, Alka immediately gave everyone a look, asking them to speed up.
And he quickly entered the state of dream death and came to the edge of the ship.
The situation was critical, and if there was danger, Alka would only use the best of his ability.
A voice came to my ear.
"Underwater on the right side of the bow."
Hearing this voice, Alka's figure immediately disappeared and came to the bow of the ship.
Then he leaned over and looked down.
I saw a little girl with tiny scales on her face looking at the ship in front of her curiously.
Seeing Alka appear, she widened her eyes, a slight fear appeared in her pupils, and she couldn't help but step back.
The hood on his head disappeared, revealing Alka's mirrored head.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Alka asked warily, the man in front of him looked like a member of an intelligent race.
Seeing that Alka seemed to be able to communicate, she spoke: "@:~&%"
It was another incomprehensible word. This time Alka really couldn't understand it. He had never heard such a language before.
Fortunately, Lucelia came to his side at this time and communicated with the unknown race below in the same language that he could not understand.
After communicating for a while.
Lucilia turned to look at Alka and said, "She said that she was called here. There are people on the ship who need help. This is the will of the ocean."
Hearing this, Alka first thought of Porro, and only Porro met this requirement at this time period.
But the problem is that this is too coincidental.
They had just left the stormy sea, and Pororo had just been in danger, when they immediately ran into someone who could help Pororo.
Never mind, time is urgent.
Now is not the time to think about that.
"Tell her to come up, but greet her first and don't make any dangerous moves, otherwise she will pay a heavy price."
The priority now is to treat Porro, and everything else can be put aside.
