【Harpoon Brig】

Quality: white

Durability: 37/50 [Durability is reduced by 1 point every day, and the upper limit of durability is reduced by 1 point once repaired]

Description: 2 meters * 6 meters, the hull height is 2 meters, the inner height is 1.5 meters, the draft is 0.5 meters, the mast height is 4 meters, sailing depends entirely on the wind, the average speed is 10 kilometers per hour, this is when there is wind.

Accessories: A wooden paddle, sometimes a wooden paddle is still very useful!

The durability was originally 47 points, but now it has been reduced by 10 points at once. After Wang Qing upgraded the sailboat, it has only been three days since today, and the durability has been reduced by 3 points.

I didn't expect that a common attack by the shark monster would cause such serious damage to the sailboat. Fortunately, there was no water leakage at that time.

王清消耗了13木材进行了修补，耐久度也从37/50变成了49/49点的耐久。

After doing all this, Wang Qing finally relaxed.

This morning was basically spent fighting the shark monster, and then sailing all the way to leave the sea with a lot of blood.

By the time he stopped now, it was already noon.

"Let's exchange for some food first. This stomach is so hungry." Wang Qing touched his growling stomach, and he was ready to reward himself. Fortunately, there is a whole bucket of 5 liters of water in the water source. It's easier to order food.

After lunch at noon, Wang Qing, who was just about to take a lunch break, was overwhelmed by the sudden weather.

"The weather on the sea really changes as soon as it is said, can't you wait for me to rest for a while before it changes?" Wang Qing looked at the sky that was still a little sunny just now, but now it has turned into a sky full of dark clouds, and the whole sky is full of clouds. The sky also began to darken.

If it is said that under such circumstances, there is still a sea breeze blowing on the sea, Wang Qing may be somewhat calmer in his heart.

But in the current situation, there is no trace of the sea breeze on the sea, and the dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, as if they will collapse at any time.

"It seems that there will be a big storm soon. If there are islands nearby, it's okay to say, but there is nothing here. What should I do?" Wang Qing frowned, and he couldn't think of any better way to do it now. response.

"We can only wait for the storm to come, I hope we can overcome it this time!" Wang Qing thought silently in his heart.

If the torrential rain encountered yesterday was a test for Wang Qing, then the storm that will be encountered later will be a test for the ship.

Huh~huh~huh~, all of a sudden, there was not a particularly strong sea breeze blowing on the sea, and the sails began to drum up with the arrival of the sea breeze.

Wang Qing originally wanted to put away the sail, but in the end he gave up the idea.

Because he remembered that when he visited the forum once, he found a post in it. The person who posted the post was a senior navigator who used to like sailing at sea the most.

He told everyone in the post that if there is a large storm at sea, please remember not to put away the sails. If this is the case, the ship will be more likely to be in danger.

In a storm, the sail is like a life-saving straw!

Wang Qing had already stretched out his hand to the side of the mast, ready to fold up the sail at any time, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and remembered this post.

And now that the sea wind is getting stronger and stronger, Wang Qing found that the sailing speed of the sailboat has exceeded the usual average speed of the harpoon brig, and it is very likely that it has reached 20 kilometers per hour now!
As the sea breeze became more intense, the sky began to drizzle.

This was only temporary. Wang Qing stood at the rudder position of the ship, looking forward with firm eyes, and kept adjusting the position of the rudder with his hands.

Suddenly, the drizzle suddenly turned into a torrential rain, just in such an instant.

With the heavy rain falling and the increasingly violent sea wind, Wang Qing felt that he had begun to lose control of the direction of the rudder, and the ship began to heave with the waves on the sea.

At this moment, the sailboat, which was still moving steadily, came from afar, as if it was a flat boat in the sea, and it might disappear in the waves at any moment in the ups and downs of the next moment.

"If things go on like this, even if I'm fine, this boat will almost be scrapped!" Wang Qing pulled the rudder vigorously, trying to keep the boat balanced. This is the only thing he can do now.

At the same time, he checked the current durability of the ship.

The ship that was repaired originally had a durability of 47/49 points.

In just a short while, the durability of the ship has been reduced by two points in the wind and waves. If the storm continues, Wang Qing doesn't know whether the wood on his body can be repaired until the storm stops.

Time flies, and two hours have passed in the blink of an eye, and the storm at sea seems to have no intention of stopping.

"If things go on like this, even if the ship can hold on, I won't be able to take it anymore." Wang Qing has not yet become an extraordinary person, and his physical strength is just an ordinary person. It is considered very good to be able to persist for two hours in a storm that's it.

In these two hours, he only used the system to repair the ship once, and now the durability of the ship has been repaired, 48/48 points of durability. This repair he waited until the ship had 10 points left. Function.

So a total of 38 wood was consumed, and he still has 50 wood in the storage area.

That is to say, if the storm continues, he can hold on for another three hours at most, and the materials will be used up, and the rest can only depend on God's will.

"Stop it, if this goes on, I really can't hold on anymore!" Wang Qing silently prayed to heaven.

Maybe some god heard Wang Qing's prayer, and the raging storm began to calm down slowly.

First, the rain began to decrease, and finally the waves began to calm down slowly.

Wang Qing, who was already dizzy by the ups and downs of the waves, also began to "wake up".

"The storm has finally calmed down. If it continues like this, it will really be over!" Wang Qing sighed with emotion. He had been in an erratic state just now. Although he didn't get seasick, it was the first time he was in such a big place. Drifting in the waves, I was still a little dizzy.

As the storm subsided, the sailing speed of the sailboat also began to slow down. It was still riding the wind and waves, but now it has returned to its usual speed.

This also made Wang Qing feel a little regretful, but he didn't yearn for the feeling of riding the wind and waves because it was too dangerous.

"Huh? That's an island?" Wang Qing watched as the weather began to clear up, and gradually he could see the outline of the distance. After the heavy rain stopped completely, Wang Qing finally saw an island that appeared in the distance.
