Chapter 49: A Narrow Escape

  Vormann looked at Bicet and thought he was stunned by the previous scene, so he couldn't help but raise his voice again and asked loudly: "Lord Bicet, we are waiting for your command! Please give us an order quickly!"

  Bisai returned to his senses and said without turning back: "But isn't the captain of this ship you, Lord Vollman?"

  "Hard about! Get us out of this damned whirlpool!"

  The sail creaked with a groaning sound as the ship stubbornly turned its head and slowly struggled out of the whirlpool.

  The whirlpool on the sea is like a storm, it has a fixed place, but sometimes it will suddenly appear. If you don't leave quickly, once you are sucked in, it will be a shipwreck and loss of life.

  Bisai Liu escaped from life's predicament, but he didn't feel any joy, instead letting out a long sigh.

  Wolman wiped the sweat from his forehead with a mixture of relief and puzzlement, looking at Bicer with some incomprehension as to why he was sighing despite being rescued.

  Bisai Liu pointed to the whirlpool and said to Wolman: "I have been on the sea for over 30 years, and I have dealt with countless pirates of all kinds. What kind of pirate I haven't seen... But such a formidable pirate, this is my first time seeing..."

  Bisai turned his head back, staring at Wollman with piercing eyes: "Do you know who I thought of when I saw this person?"

  Wolman shook his head.

  Bisai slowly said: "I remembered Pirate King Atos!"

  Wolman opened his mouth wide and said with a skeptical tone, "Even if he's that powerful, falling into the whirlpool would still be fatal."

  "We'll see as we go!" said Bisai, shaking his head.

  ……

  Tang Jie fell into the sea, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the salty and fishy seawater immediately poured in, almost instantly choking him unconscious.

  If it were an ordinary person, at this time, after taking a sip of water, they would probably become more and more flustered, and the more flustered they became, the closer they would be to death.

  The magician in Tong Jie's arms fainted soon after swallowing some water when he fell into the water, and added to his fear and confusion.

  But for Tang Jie, the composure cultivated through years of martial arts training allowed him to calm down quickly.

  He opened his eyes wide and took a closer look at the situation around him, and was suddenly frightened.

  This vast ocean, on the surface, when there is no wind, seems like a huge sapphire, and with a gentle breeze, it sparkles and ripples, making one feel carefree and exhilarated.

  But who can know that under her gentle and calm appearance when the sea is calm, what kind of terrible deep whirlpool is hidden?

  Tang Jie looked over and saw that in the dark, bottomless depths of the sea, several thick black dragons could be vaguely seen writhing about.

  He jumped in fright, his first reaction was: Dragon? Sea monster?

  But he soon dismissed this idea, recalling some unique phenomena at sea that Old Bar had once told him about.

  Like the undercurrents and whirlpools at the bottom of the sea in front of us.

  These underwater currents and whirlpools are the most frightening, they are not living magical sea monsters, but they are more deadly than any powerful terrifying monster.

  They usually hide deep in the sea, and their location cannot be found on the surface of the sea, no matter how experienced sailors are unable to find their traces. However, as soon as the waves, water temperature, and wind power in the sea change, they will emerge from the water, like a giant devil's mouth, ruthlessly swallowing the lives of the sailors.

  Tang Jie didn't know that the island they had seen before was actually the treasure island pointed out by Pirate King Atos. However, for hundreds of years, no one had dared to land on this island in the Lintchen Sea of Xixis, precisely because the surrounding waters were densely packed with hidden reefs and whirlpools.

  A large ship will be wrecked on the reefs and sink into the sea as soon as it approaches the island; but if you are in a small boat, you can easily get caught in the whirlpools and undercurrents that surround the place.

  Many fishermen had attempted to land on the island, but before they could get close, their ships would sink, and the sailors who managed to escape with their lives revered this place as if it were a ghostly realm, spreading the word far and wide.

  But if it were just that, Shipwreck Island wouldn't be so notorious.

  The king of the Kingdom of Mata had never given up and was determined to turn the sunken ship into a military fortress at sea, with Sisys as its counterpart.

  But he dispatched his Royal Navy, loaded with thousands of sailors and skilled stonemasons, to the vicinity of the sunken ship island, only to suddenly encounter a violent storm, with turbulent waves and dense whirlpools on the ocean.

  The entire royal navy of the Kingdom of Mata was buried in the sea, with no one coming back alive.

  The island of the sunken ship became notorious and its reputation spread far and wide, so that no one dared approach it again.

  As time went by, fewer and fewer people came here, gradually being forgotten by people, even the route was gradually forgotten.

  Atos chose this place as the treasure location, precisely because it is rarely visited by people, and there are no fishermen's boats or military warships that dare to approach here, let alone land on the island.

  And the whirlpool near the sunken ship island is extremely terrifying, just like a living giant dragon in the sea, crawling quietly at the bottom of the sea, silent and soundless. As soon as there is a stir, it goes crazy and twists, creating countless whirlpools.

  Tang Jie had just fallen into the water, and due to his disordered breathing, the Dou Qi inside his body involuntarily surged like fire, stirring up the seawater and sending waves of intense ripples in all directions.

  When this wave of diffusion reached the position of the water flow in the dark current, although the force was very small, it still stimulated this dark current.

  Tang Jie grasped the magician's wrist with one hand and stroked hard in the water with the other, desperately trying to swim towards the surface of the sea.

  Before long, the undercurrent at the bottom of the sea grew faster and faster, an invisible force was pulling his body with great strength, and instead of taking him to the surface, it pulled him down to the bottom of the sea!

  Tang Jie was shocked to the point where his scalp almost exploded, his muscles bulged like boulders, and the aura in his body surged like a flood, rushing and colliding everywhere!

  He now has a glimpse of his inner energy, combined with his martial arts foundation, the power in his fists and feet is astonishing, one punch can crush raw iron, but now his body's strength is unable to borrow force from anywhere in the sea, the soft water in the vast ocean is like a thread of extremely soft cotton wrapping around him.

  Tang Jie was pulled down by this force, constantly sinking to the bottom of the sea, his body rapidly rotating in the vortex, faster and faster, more and more violently. He was in so much pain that he wanted to let out a loud roar, but the deeper he sank, the greater the pressure around him became, and he couldn't even open his mouth or eyes!

  He was like being held by an invisible hand, clenched in the palm of his heart, a huge force was desperately tearing his body apart, every inch of his skin was cut by countless small knives, painful to the point of unbearable.

  The ocean, gentle as a maiden when calm, but crazy like a wild beast when enraged!

  "The power of the sea, is it really that terrifying?" Tang Jie gradually lost his consciousness, a thought flashed through his mind "Will I die here? How are Niya and the others?"

  The undercurrents of the ocean are silent and still, but their terror is far more frightening than a storm.

  Tang Jie inadvertently triggered the undercurrent whirlpool, and a powerful water flow surrounded him, gradually rushing towards the dark and lightless depths of the sea floor.

  ……

  Darkness, boundless darkness.

  The surroundings were quiet as if by the river of the underworld, with only a string of clear water droplets dripping and echoing, buzzing loudly.

  It wasn't until much later that Tang Jie's eyelids twitched, and he slowly came to from his coma. He opened his eyes to find himself in a vast cavernous space with a ceiling covered in stalactites shaped like bamboo shoots, their tips adorned with coral and seashells. What was astonishing was that these bamboo-shaped stalactites emitted a faint glow, set against the dark yellow stone walls, making it seem as if he were gazing up at a starry night sky, leaving him dazed and enchanted.

  Tang Jie blinked his eyelids and slowly moved his hands and feet, discovering a severe pain all over his body, clearly indicating that he was neither in hell nor heaven.

  He secretly let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

  Where am I now?

  He gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet, looking around to find himself in a vast cavern.

  This cave is quite spacious, with a size similar to that of a basketball court. The ground is covered with rocks, large and small, with moss and coral shells embedded in the rock face, showing clear colors ranging from dark to light, with distinct layers, obviously left by the tide marks.

  Tang Jie stood still, finding that the cave was surrounded by a piece of dark blue black water surface beside him, while other places were all rocks, with no way to go.

  He tilted his head and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out why he ended up in this place, so he stopped thinking about it. Especially when he saw the magician wearing a black robe lying motionless just five meters away from him, Tang Jie's anger suddenly rose to his heart, and evil thoughts emerged.

  It's all because of this mongrel that Ball was killed and now I'm stuck in this godforsaken place!

  Tang Jie rushed over immediately and shouted: "Damn it, are you dead or not?"

  The magician was lying on the ground, motionless, as if he were already dead. Tang Jie flipped the magician over with one hand grasping his chest and the other clenched into a fist, ready to strike him down and turn him into pulp!

  But he stared blankly and suddenly froze in place.

  The magician in front of him had a small, delicate face with a slightly chubby cheek, and his skin was as white and tender as milk, looking like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

  Her eyelids were closed, but her long and dense eyelashes fluttered lightly, delicate and elegant; the small nose, like a goose egg, was round and exquisite, as if it were the brightest and most perfect gem in an ornament; a cherry-like mouth, with red lips tightly pursed, tender and bright red, under the soft and gentle light emanating from the top of the cave, emitted a crystal clear and transparent glow, making one's heart ache with love.

  Tang Jie was stunned!

  He never thought that this evil magician in his impression would be a girl, and still a very pretty little girl?
