Chapter 2142: Intuition

~9 min read 1,714 words

Dark clouds covered the sky, and heavy rain poured down. Unlike the rainstorms on land, the storms at sea are more terrifying.

As a giant sailing ship, the Bashaluo showed its majesty. Even though the waves had already hit the deck, it still moved forward through the waves, and the bow crushed out water splashes more than ten meters high on the big waves.

Creak~

The wooden boards on the ship rubbed against each other, making a difficult sound.

The waves hit the port side with a 'boom', and seawater surged onto the deck, washing over the bodies of the outlaws and sailors.

The main mast made a 'crack' sound that made people feel empty in their hearts, as if it could break at any time. All the sails were full of wind, sailing hard against the storm.

In this weather, the Bashaluo not only did not drop the anchor but sailed against the storm. The main reason is that the storm has lasted for two days.

That's right, Su Xiao has been at sea for two days. The morning of the first day was sunny, but by noon, the storm came.

The sailors suggested dropping the anchor first and waiting for the storm to pass before continuing to sail. But who knew that the storm lasted until the evening and still showed no signs of stopping, but became even more violent.

At 6 o'clock that evening, the sailors dragged up the anchor, lowered the sails, and continued to sail. They knew that this rainstorm would not stop.

Cold raindrops fell on Su Xiao's face. He was sitting on the top of the cabin. Compared to the cabin that was about to be filled with water, it was obviously more comfortable here.

Not far away, Amu, who was tied to the mast, was sleeping soundly. Above him was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was lying in a hammock, swinging with the sway of the Bashaluo.

As the wooden boards of the ship creaked, the Bashaluo began to tilt to the right, and seawater surged high, swallowing the whole ship. However, the Bashaluo will not sink. At least before being smashed by the waves, this ship that already has life will not sink.

In the seawater, a swordfish passed by Su Xiao. A few seconds later, the seawater receded, and the Bashaluo stood out from the waves.

After two days at sea, more than half of the sailors on the ship were missing. If it were an ordinary fleet, it would have collapsed long ago, but the outlaws and sailors on this ship were used to it. When hunting extraordinary marine creatures, it is more dangerous than now.

"Saw it! East side! Full rudder!!"

There was a faint shout. The helmsman patted the rain in his ears and said 'Ah?' blankly.

"Full rudder!"

Shouts came one after another. The helmsman with a dirty headscarf on his head hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and began to turn the rudder in circles. In such a storm, once you lose your direction, heaven knows where you will sail.

Crack, crack...

Large pieces of wooden boards collapsed on the port side of the Bashaluo. In this weather, the damage of full rudder to the ship is imaginable.

A red lightning flashed across the sky, silently. A few seconds later, there was deafening thunder.

The storm stopped abruptly, as if wiped away by a big hand. The bulging sails went slack, and the wind stopped.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the dark clouds, reflecting on the island a mile away.

The sea surface calmed down. Several broken wooden boards fell from the side of the Bashaluo. As soon as they fell into the seawater, they decayed into residue.

The helmsman standing at the bow smiled, revealing a mouth full of rotten teeth, and kissed the rudder that had already been coated with pulp.

"Hahaha..."

Bursts of laughter came. The wet sailors all knelt on one knee on the deck, closed their eyes, and muttered something.

With a 'whoosh', in the absence of sea breeze, the sails bulged, and the Bashaluo sailed toward the distant island.

Soon, the Bashaluo arrived at the edge of the island. The outlaws sitting on the side of the ship did not speak, but looked at Su Xiao, seeking Su Xiao's opinion.

"Sail around the island."

As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, an outlaw shouted.

The Bashaluo turned its bow at a 45° angle and began to sail in the near-shore area. If it gets closer, it may run aground.

The island is emerald green, growing a large amount of vegetation, and birds can be seen flying above the trees.

After sailing half a circle around the island, a gap appeared on the edge of the island. Several outlaws jumped off the ship. After entering the water, they disappeared into the seawater like fish.

Before long, these outlaws climbed onto the ship with hooks. They had just gone to measure the depth of the seawater, and the conclusion was that the depth was sufficient, and the ship could approach.

The Bashaluo moved toward the gap in the island. In about half a minute at most, the ship stopped in front of the gap.

This gap is somewhat like a 'line of sky' landscape. The bottom is seawater, and the rock walls on both sides are covered with green moss and vine plants.

The line of sky is about ten meters wide, and the sunlight shines down from above, with blue waves rippling.

A small boat was thrown into the sea. After completing this, the outlaws remained silent. From beginning to end, they tried their best to avoid dealing with Su Xiao. The more they said, the more mistakes they made. Although these guys were cruel, they were smart enough not to flatter and appropriately followed Su Xiao's orders.

"Amu, you stay on the ship and be ready to change the terrain at any time. Baha, you are responsible for high-altitude early warning. If any Qiyuezhe comes to stir up trouble, kill them without mercy. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, if there is a chance, provide reinforcements; if not, just provide aura ability."

"Moo."

"Understood."

"Woof."

Su Xiao took off his black long leather coat, bare-chested. After many high-intensity battles before, the durability of 【Night of the Wild Hunt】 had slipped to below 10 points, and the protection it could provide was limited. At most, it could resist one blow before being completely damaged. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not completely damaged, finding Reid to repair it would restore it to perfection.

If 【Night of the Wild Hunt】 was not an Epic-grade equipment, it would not have been able to hold on long ago. This shows how tragic Su Xiao's battles in the Wizard World were. Just being besieged by a large group of violators happened twice.

After arranging the squad's formation, the bare-chested Su Xiao jumped onto the small boat, with the sheathed Zhan Long Shan hanging at his waist.

"Bai Ye, what are you doing!"

Xia looked at Su Xiao in astonishment.

"Going to deal with Azathoth."

"I didn't mean that. Are you going to fight the ultimate big boss one-on-one? Shouldn't you besiege that big boss? One-on-one is really..."

Xia couldn't think of how to describe Su Xiao's behavior for a while.

"Oh."

While speaking, Su Xiao stepped on the small wooden boat under his feet. Amu, who had already jumped into the sea, pushed the small wooden boat, and the small wooden boat drifted into the line of sky.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha all have their own duties. If the situation is the same as Su Xiao speculated, Amu needs to consume all energy to freeze the seawater. After the energy in the body is exhausted, Amu's combat power will drop a lot.

Baha is insurance. Su Xiao is not afraid of fighting the Source of Darkness, Azathoth, one-on-one. He is more worried about someone stirring up trouble, which is more fatal. Su Xiao can accept defeat and death at the hands of the Source of Darkness, Azathoth, but cannot accept being killed by a sneak attack from a Qiyuezhe.

As for those outlaws, they have all injected magic potions and cannot fight the Ancient Gods.

The small wooden boat moved forward. Su Xiao stood on the small wooden boat, his eyes looking around, and the scenery in his eyes slowly receded.

The line of sky terrain is not long. After the small wooden boat drifted forward for more than ten meters, it entered an open area. This place is circular, surrounded by steep rock walls. Conservatively estimated, the four-circle rock walls are a hundred meters high, and the bottom is seawater.

The seawater is blue, and the surrounding rock walls are covered with vegetation. Sunlight shines down from above, and the scenery is very beautiful. This place was originally a circular valley. Because the island sank, the bottom was flooded by seawater, and this landscape appeared.

Compared to the beautiful scenery of the sea valley, Su Xiao is more concerned about a behemoth inside the sea valley. It is pitch black and sitting on a stone platform. When sitting there, it is at least seven meters high. One can imagine its height after standing up. This is the Source of Darkness, Azathoth.

The Source of Darkness, Azathoth, is generally humanoid. Behind it are uneven bone spurs. There is no mouth or nose on its head. There is a row of air holes in the lower position, and further up are three eyes, with twisted pupils in the eyes.

Seemingly sensing Su Xiao's approach, the Source of Darkness, Azathoth, slowly raised its head; within those three eyes, there was only coldness and cruelty.

The small wooden boat under Su Xiao's feet came to a stop, and he slowly drew the long blade at his waist, Green Steel Shadow energy surging along the blade's body. The moment he saw the Source of Darkness, Azathoth, Su Xiao had a feeling that this guy was quite terrifying; if he were to be grabbed by the opponent's millstone-sized, black-scale-covered giant hand, death would be almost certain.
