Chapter 1087: Chapter 1080: Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves

"Wow, Captain Luo’er, what are you doing?" Hearing that soul-shaking sound, Wadulan exaggeratedly covered his ears and asked Luo’er in surprise.

"Eh, the captain doesn’t like this sound? I’m really sorry..." Luo’er was taken aback for a moment and hurriedly put away the Soul Summoning Bell.

"It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just a bit uncomfortable to listen to," Wadulan said, unable to help but grimace and retch, and then said, "I’ve been on board for decades, I shouldn’t get seasick, but for some reason, that sound makes me feel uncomfortable..."

"Sorry, sorry, I didn’t know the captain couldn’t handle the sound," Luo’er said worriedly.

"No no, it’s okay, if Captain Luo’er wants to listen, please let me leave first." Wadulan coughed a few times and then waved his hand.

Clearly, Wadulan couldn’t stand the sound of the Soul Summoning Bell, meaning not everyone could bear such a sound.

Luo’er estimated that the reason Wadulan couldn’t stand it was because of resonance; the frequency of the bell’s sound was the same as some of his body’s organs, causing resonance.

The merchant ship sailed along the route, striving to cross the strait and reach the opposite shore within a day. This was the safest approach, otherwise, if they lingered or stalled midway, Tana could very likely summon Leviathan to deal with them.

Talis was kneeling on the deck, posing in a worshipful stance, as if she was performing some strange ritual. On seeing this, Hu Daoke couldn’t help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Talis didn’t respond to him, but continued to squint her eyes, engrossed in the ritual. After a while, once the ritual was over, she stood up, glanced at Hu Daoke, and then replied, "I was guiding Sir Xiapei Kam’s blessing. We are about to enter her domain, and we need her blessing to ensure safety."

"Blessing, yet why do I feel the weather is becoming increasingly strange?" Hu Daoke scratched the back of his head and said, looking up at the sky.

His remark alerted Cheng Ziang, who then looked up to the sky, noticing that it was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunder was rumbling occasionally. His heart sank, and he shouted at Luo’er, "Captain Luo’er, something is wrong!"

"I see it," said Luo’er, looking at the sky, finally realizing the source of his unease.

Indeed, Tana wouldn’t let them off so easily. Luo’er had always thought that Tana would use Leviathan to attack them, but he seemed to have overlooked that as a deity of this world, she had endless powers at her disposal.

"Captain, how far are we from Xia Yue Island now?" Luo’er turned and asked loudly.

"Uh, about halfway there, but it seems the wind direction has changed, oddly turning against us; the ship’s speed will likely slow down," Wadulan responded.

"Miscalculation, indeed, I was careless. I assumed Tana could only control creatures..." Luo’er said regretfully.

"What should we do, Luo’er?" Tangmo asked anxiously.

"For now, stay steady. Either keep moving forward or retreat, we can’t linger in these waters," Luo’er said after pondering for a moment.

Just then, they heard exclamations from the crew, and they saw Hu Daoke pointing at something in the distance, shouting in terror, "Mad dog wave, it’s a mad dog wave!"

"Damn!" Luo’er couldn’t help but curse.

Looking in the direction everyone was staring, they saw a white, frothy wave appear between the sea and sky, rushing toward them.

"Turn the bow, face the waves," Wadulan rushed to the helm and commanded loudly while also shouting to Luo’er and the others, "Captain Luo’er, everyone, quickly take shelter in the cabin. This wave won’t harm us for a while, but don’t fall into the sea, or it’ll be dangerous."

"I know, be careful, Captain!" Luo’er didn’t dare to show off, nodded, and then called everyone into the cabin.

"Don’t worry, I’ve been drinking seawater for decades. This is nothing," Wadulan said confidently, patting his chest and speaking to Luo’er, but his face soon became serious again.

In the distance, the white crest of the wave surged towards the Venturing Gale. Wadulan adjusted the bow and headed straight into the wave.

If a ship were to be struck by such a wave from the side, it could easily capsize, so the best approach was to face the wave head-on. As long as the ship was sturdy enough not to be smashed to the seabed by the wave, that sounded strangely heroic.

The wave was getting closer, and only then did everyone see just how high the wave was – a good ten meters. If it really crashed onto the ship, it would be a tight squeeze.

The ship faced the waves and was lifted high into the air, and when it reached the crest, the people on board felt an inexplicable sensation of weightlessness. Gigantic volumes of sea water crashed onto the deck, and if those on deck had not taken the necessary protection measures, they would be easily knocked unconscious by such a force and then thrown into the sea.

Overcoming the crest, the ship’s keel made creaking and groaning sounds, and soon, because of gravity, the bow plunged downward, sliding off the wave’s peak. During this time, seawater continually flooded the cabins, including the rooms where the crew rested.

Thanks to Wadulan’s efforts, the ship was prevented from capsizing, but none of them noticed that the ship had deviated from the planned course and had come to the edge of the sea ridge, a basin sixty meters deep, which was a paradise for some Leviathans.

After the wave passed, the sea surface calmed down mysteriously, and even the headwind gradually subsided. Wadulan turned back in horror to look at the rogue wave that had suddenly appeared, but before he could catch his breath, he heard a sailor scream in terror, "Leviathan, we’ve entered Leviathan territory!"

Hearing the sailor’s voice, Wadulan turned to the equally bedraggled first mate and asked loudly, "Have we deviated from our course?"

"Yes, we’ve deviated from the planned course by more than a hundred meters!" the first mate answered, trembling.

"Damn, prepare for battle!" Wadulan cursed, then immediately started to rally everyone.

After the sea calmed, Luo’er and the others ran up to the deck. Facing the anxious Wadulan, Luo’er asked with concern, "Captain, is it a Leviathan coming?"

"Hmm," Wadulan nodded firmly, then said sincerely, "I hope, Captain Luo’er, you can assist us in repelling the enemy."

"Don’t say that, Captain, it is our duty," Luo’er waved his hand and then turned around to command loudly, "Everyone, get moving, all of you, move it! Get the cannons up here, prepare the Deepwater Bomb Launcher!"

"Yes!" The crew responded in unison, hurrying to their tasks.

"Fula, Fula, respond if you hear me!" Luo’er could not afford to wait and shouted into the air.

"I’m here!" No sooner had he spoken than he heard the voice of Fulajie’er in his mind.

"Do you know any magic of the Wind Sect?" Luo’er asked.

"Eh, um, I..." Fula stammered.

"Do you know it or not?" Luo’er asked, somewhat impatiently.

"It’s still a bit rusty..." Fulajie’er replied honestly.

"Go learn from Moumou, learn it quickly, then go and get the sails blowing, use as much force as possible, got it?" Luo’er ordered.

"Yes, I got it," Fulajie’er responded.

"Wait, first go and locate the Leviathan, then notify us, then get the sails moving," Luo’er continued.

"I know!" Fulajie’er replied, then jumped into the sea in an invisible form.

"Moumou!" Luo’er shouted loudly.

"Present!" Tangmo responded.

"Stop what you’re doing, go teach Fula how to use the Wind Sect magic, make her generate the wind to blow us towards Xia Yue Island!" Luo’er commanded.

"Got it!" Tangmo nodded and then stopped his current task.

After giving orders, Luo’er bowed his head with a sense of loss. He was furious with Tana’s plotting, angry that as a god from the Otherworld, she repeatedly targeted him, an Earthling. This made him extremely upset, and at the same time, he resolved to free Sir Xiapei Kam and eliminate Tana at all costs.

He sighed deeply, and then, looking up, he saw the sky covered with dark clouds, although it was daylight, it felt as dark as night.

A gust of wind brought a curtain of rain, and in an instant, the entire area was shrouded in rainwater. Looking at the pouring rain, Luo’er suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness and powerlessness.
