Douluo: Phoenix burning sky

Chapter 268
The Hall Master introduced Ma Hongjun and the others: "This is Mr. Jill, the captain of the Demon Shark. Mr. Jill has been on the sea for 23 years. He is very familiar with navigating on the sea. He is also one of the best existences in the entire Vast Sea City!"

When Jill heard this, a look of pride flashed in his eyes, "The lord is wonderful, there are many powerful ships in the city, I am just one of them, and I am also a member of the Demon Shark who can serve you gentlemen and ladies. pleasure!"

From Jill's expression, Ma Hongjun could also feel Jill's confidence in his own sailing ability, and replied: "This trip has Captain Laugier!"

Jill smiled and led Ma Hongjun and the others into the Demon Shark, and introduced the situation inside the ship. Apart from Captain Jill, there were nine other members of the ship, including two first officers and seven sailors.

Ma Hongjun took a copy of the sea chart for going to Sea God Island and handed it to Jill, asking him to send himself and the others to the vicinity of Sea God Island according to the designated direction.

Jill didn't hold the chart, turned her head and began to order the sailors to pull anchor and set sail.With the efforts of the sailors, the Demon Shark quickly left the port and went straight into the sea.

The main voyage was raised, and under the control of Captain Jill, the Magic Shark quickly adjusted its direction and accelerated towards their destination.

Compared with the dull room, the deck on the Demon Shark is obviously more attractive to Ma Hongjun and the others.

On the endless sea, the water and the sky meet, and the sun rising from the east shines on the sea, sparkling with sparkling light.

The sea breeze blew across the sea and hit everyone, as if blowing open the hearts of everyone, an indescribable sense of joy, let them relax completely, forget all their troubles, let go of all the pressure.

Living by the sea, the lunch meal is naturally seafood-based, most of the ingredients are freshly caught and eaten, and the deliciousness of them made everyone in Ma Hongjun very satisfied.

With the passage of time, soon some people could no longer stay on the deck. Ma Hongjun and eight people lived inland all the year round, so they had no chance to be a sea-going ship.

Under the sea breeze blowing, Duguyan, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar all suffered from seasickness and began to vomit. Staying on the deck, being blown by the sea breeze made their bodies even more uncomfortable.

There was no way to stay on the deck. Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar and others all entered the room to rest. Only when they lay on the bed, the feeling of vomiting in their hearts eased a lot.

The day passed quickly, surrounded by endless sea water, and no trace of land could be seen for a long time.Only Ma Hongjun and Lei Ming were left on the deck at this moment.

Both Ma Hongjun and Lei Ming's ability to adapt was very fast. Apart from some dizziness at the beginning, they quickly adapted to the state on board.

Ma Hongjun and Lei Ming, who had gotten used to it, didn't choose to stay in the room any longer. Under the sun's rays during the day, the room in the ship always felt stuffy and hot.

This kind of stuffy feeling can easily bring about a sense of depression, and standing on the deck, looking at the vast sea and enjoying the sea breeze blowing by, are two completely different feelings.

Lei Ming half-lyed on the deck, looking up at the starry sky at night, suddenly, Lei Ming seemed to have discovered something, and let out a small sound of doubt.

Ma Hongjun was right next to Lei Ming, so he naturally heard Lei Ming's voice, turned his head to look at Lei Ming, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lei Ming raised his head, fixed his eyes on a twinkling star in the starry sky, and said: "I know that star, in the direction of that star, it is the direction of true north, I remember on the map, we are going to the direction of Sea God Island , is heading southwest, but we are heading due west now!"

Hearing this, Ma Hongjun was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction Lei Ming pointed, and indeed saw a twinkling star in the sky, this star was much brighter than the other stars around.

However, Ma Hongjun didn't do any research on the positions of these stars. The surroundings were all white sea water, and there was no reference to judge the direction. At this time, Ma Hongjun was also unable to determine the direction the Demon Shark was forcibly heading.

"Are you sure?" Ma Hongjun asked.

Lei Ming scanned the air with his eyes, verified his thoughts again, nodded, and said, "Sure, the direction we are heading now is due west!"

Ma Hongjun thought for a moment and said: "I heard that these captains who walk on the sea all have a sea chart in their minds. This sea chart records the active areas of some sea spirit beasts in the sea. Maybe there are sea spirit beasts in our original direction. We need to avoid the herd of soul beasts and the like."

Ma Hongjun thought back, since he boarded the ship, he didn't find anything wrong with Captain Jill, and Captain Jill was also introduced by the master of the Martial Soul Branch of Hanhai City, so there should be nothing wrong with Captain Jill.

And the current direction of deviation is not too outrageous. Generally speaking, it is still very possible to bypass some restricted areas for soul beasts.

But guarding against others is indispensable, Ma Hongjun still urged: "Go and tell Qian Wantong and others to pay attention, and keep yourself in good condition at all times!"

Lei Ming also understood Ma Hongjun's meaning, without saying anything, turned his head and entered the deck, and went to inform Qian Wantong and others.

Ma Hongjun looked at the star that Lei Ming said just now in the sky, which represented the direction of true north, and thought secretly in his heart.

But at this moment, the sound of dense footsteps reached Ma Hongjun's ears.

Ma Hongjun turned his head and saw that it was Captain Jill walking from the inside of the ship to the deck.

"Captain Jill, you've come out to blow some air too!" Ma Hongjun calmly greeted Captain Jill first.

Captain Jill walked up to Ma Hongjun, and said respectfully: "Dear sir, according to our experience, we are very likely to face a storm in the near future, and the deck will not be safe at that time."

"I'm here to ask you sir to prepare first. If there is no need, please go back to the room in the ship to rest. There may be some bumps on the ship, but please rest assured that we will take care of everyone's safety!"

Ma Hongjun asked curiously: "Oh, I see that the starry sky is clear now, and there is no sign of rain. How did the captain predict that there will be wind and rain?"

Captain Jill smiled and said: "At sea, whether it's day or night, the temperature change will not be obvious, but we set off today, the more we drive, the more stuffy the surrounding air is, I think it's about the same level now, If we continue to move forward, it is estimated that there will be heavy wind and rain waiting for us!"

"As for the clear starry sky, the most unreliable thing on the sea is to look at the clouds. There are gusty winds at sea, and there may be a large cloud of dark clouds at any time. Now the sky is still clear, and the sea breeze is blowing. In the blink of an eye, there may be dark clouds covering a thousand miles around! "
