Volume 1: Deceived and Humiliated by You Chapter 182: Soaring Fire Sea
Chapter 182: Soaring Sky and Fiery Sea
A stick of incense turned into ashes, and both boats returned safely.
Wang Cheng announced, Guanshan Pass has been breached, Hong Zhen has crossed over, and Ri Xiang has also made it through.
However, the one who is truly happy is Mozi's side.
Let's not mention Master Min Yu's slightly gloomy face, let's not mention Zeng Haiyan's somewhat fortunate misfortune, let's not mention the craftsmen judges' surprise, and let's not mention the unexpectedness of Min Song's team of strong generals. Let's just talk about Min Song.
His skin was originally fair, now it's dark and gloomy. His features were originally handsome, now they're dull and wrinkled. He came to the shipyard not because he's interested in sailing, but because his talent is exceptionally high among his siblings, so he's being groomed as a future successor, learning the family business from the sidelines. Among other things, making model ships based on blueprints is one of the few tasks he doesn't mind doing since he arrived here. The Min clan's founder, Min Zhen, passed down nine techniques, with carving being the most superior, and to this day no one has surpassed that ancestor. The ten Water-Purifying Pearls are an ultimate treasure, and he saw one of them when his grandfather brought it back, truly a wonder beyond compare. But he thinks that with his current abilities, by the time he reaches his grandfather's age, he might be able to achieve something close to that level.
He was so confident, in everyone's praise and expectation, he showed amazing talent time and time again. However, today, he was defeated by a nobody who had never been seen or heard of before.
The Hong Yu's work is beautiful, while the Ri Sheng's is barely passable. The Hong Yu's ship model is even more exquisite than the drawings, and it's fully completed from the bottom to the second deck. On the other hand, although the Ri Sheng also made it to the second deck, the top rail wasn't finished on time because no one paid attention to that simple part. According to Wu Duan, among Hong Yu's five people, three are apprentices and one doesn't understand ships at all. The only person who seems to know what he's doing is a man named Mo Ge. But even if he's capable, how can one person win alone? He couldn't figure out why his side, with four skilled craftsmen plus himself, lost to the other side's completely uncoordinated team. Mo Ge said there was a secret technique that couldn't be revealed. What kind of secret technique could it be? For the first time, he felt curious about someone else's craftsmanship.
Doubts came one after another, but there were no answers, so I felt extremely down.
Mr. Fujian said that this is not a win-or-lose game, but a pass. However, it has now become a competitive sport in the eyes of many people, with red and green competing against each other.
Min Song's inner desire to win ignited strongly, and after passing the first level, he immediately proposed proceeding to the second level.
Minyu asked Mozi: "Do you want to rest for a while before continuing?" The previous three hours of using the knife should be very tiring.
Mozzie didn't force it, nodded and said, "Old master, give me an hour."
At this time, everyone rested for an hour, without a word.
Enter the second level - Sea of Fire, Mozi took out a question in accordance with the rules.
After drawing the lots, a group of people went to the inner bay of Risheng Shipyard and saw that a large circle had been cordoned off with floating buoys. Someone was rowing a boat towards it, splashing oil on its surface. On the shore were two small boats, extremely ordinary, without cabins or canopies, oar-boats.
"Listen up, both teams." Wang Cheng had each team stand in front of a small boat. "These two boats can't sail, they're missing many important parts. These parts are underwater beneath the circle, you need to bring them back up. Each person can only dive once. Within half an incense stick's time, if you can retrieve five or more items and put them on the boat, you'll pass. However, there's one thing you must remember: these boats will be used to cross the Ghost Gate. In other words, even if you manage to get five items, if the boat still can't sail, it's equivalent to failing at the Ghost Gate."
This pass tests the ability to build and control water. However, the sea of fire is more difficult for Mozi than the mountain of knives. Because Mozi has injuries on his body. The external wounds have healed, but inside he is still weak. He doesn't know if he can swing his arm when taking things from the water.
The purple boat looked small from afar, but it was actually just an empty shell, without even a bottom board or head and tail pillars, let alone oars, masts, sails, and other parts. She had two options: to stay on the shore or to insist on going into the water. The three brothers of stinky fish were naturally good at swimming, but they didn't know the depth of the water, nor did they understand every detail of the boat's body. Without seeing it with their own eyes, they couldn't be at ease.
Fei Xia considered Mo Zi's injury and asked Zan Jin, "How long can you hold your breath underwater?"
He replied with a smile, "I've never been short of breath. The lake water on the mountain comes up to my knees, and I can breathe as soon as I stand up."
Stinky fish rolled his eyes, wrinkled his nose and furrowed his brow. "This kid can't even hold his breath, how dare he say he can swim? Mo Ge, unless... why don't us three brothers go into the water?"
"Alright, here's the plan. Zanjin, you stay on shore and create a diversion for us. Fei Xia, Shui She, Chou Yu, you three come with me into the water. I'll point to what we need to take, and you grab it. Two things to remember: don't grab the wrong thing, and be quick."
Zan advances at critical moments without hesitation, nodding heavily in agreement. While Chou Yu represents the three brothers who have agreed.
Min Song and others were already by the water, having taken off their tops, with bare chests and rolled up pants. Seeing Zan Jin's tall and large build not moving, and that Mo Ge also didn't take off his clothes or roll up his pants, they thought the two were land ducks, and thought that this time they would definitely win, and couldn't help but show a triumphant smile.
However, Mozi's side didn't let Rijian get away with his smugness either. Chouyu whispered something, and before Mozi could react, Feixia slapped a palm on Chouyu's bare back, sending him jumping around in pain.
Hehe, Mozi laughed and said he deserved it.
Stinky fish said: "Moge, today's such a revealing outfit, if you want to let them know you're a girl, you'll probably end up not being able to get married."
Just kidding, no offense intended, but what Stinky Fish said is also right. This dock is a man's world, and if a woman mixes in, forget about her reputation.
She originally didn't think about it. She came to the day of rising and breaking through the three passes, wearing a short shirt and pants, preparing to go up the mountain and down to the sea. Seeing Wang Cheng burning incense, she immediately led her three brothers to jump into the water.
Let Min Song be stunned for a moment, and when he was busy calling his people to get in the water, he thought, "How can this Mo brother swim with his clothes on? Doesn't he feel bound?"
Mozhi and they suddenly saw water, felt the top of their heads brighten into a piece, it was a raging fire.
He curled up his lips and slanted his eyes, he was scolding his mother.
Mei Zi shook her head and pointed to the bottom of the water, telling him to swim quickly and not waste his energy.
The big circle is made of fishing net, the water is not deep, about 7 or 8 meters to the bottom, and the purple ink can see all kinds of parts tied with ropes floating in the water.
Min Song and five others moved extremely quickly. Before Mo Zi could even think, they had already grabbed the five items and dragged them upstream.
The three stinky fish brothers are calm and unhurried, waiting for Mozi's instructions.
When Wang Cheng said "but", Mozi had already taken note. Such a small boat used to cross the Ghost Gate, may be navigating extremely difficult waters. The difficulty of navigation can be broadly classified into three categories: First, wind speed; Second, water speed; Third, obstacles. If she needs to consider all the environmental factors, then the route she takes must be carefully considered.
Make an instant judgment, and your fingers flash to the point.
Three brothers seemed to transform into fish, snakes and shrimp, with bubbles, very tacitly, each took the mast, sailcloth, head and tail pillars, leaving the bottom plate of the boat to Mozi.
Deep purple excitedly laughed.
She chose a flat-bottomed board, which could borrow its natural buoyancy to get on the water surface faster. But as she got closer to the top, the water temperature became hotter, and her left arm became harder to paddle, even starting to feel a burning pain at the wound.
As far as the eye could see, three brothers were seen rushing out of the sea of flames, but she didn't have such good kung fu. Even if she was envious, it was useless, she wanted to flip the boat board over her head to block the heat, but was afraid that the fire would burn the boat board, and it really hurt so much that she couldn't exert such great strength, for a moment only feeling a lack of oxygen.
Just then, a super-large human-shaped bubble suddenly fell along the coast.
It turned out to be Zan Jin. He swam towards her with all his might, dragging the wooden board and people up. At the moment he reached the water's surface, he exerted all his strength and slapped the water with one palm, causing a burst of splashing water and sparks flying everywhere.
The dockworkers on the shore couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Meanwhile, the three brothers were already waiting on the shore and pulled the two up before they could rekindle their fight.
That was an extremely short moment, but it was a matter of life and death. One step later, she might have been scalded by the flames, or the deck might have burned out, and the third hurdle would have been over.
Min Yu looked at the five people's seamless cooperation and felt his blood boiling. It was as if he saw himself in his youth, and the tacit understanding he had with his partners. He almost forgot this kind of passion that came from life itself. Looking back on Ri Sheng, although the five were all top-notch hands in the shipyard, they were like a plate of loose sand, each taking care of their own, resulting in either people being burned or boat parts being damaged when landing. Perhaps, he had been in a high position for too long and neglected the most important spirit.
A good ship is absolutely not something one person can build alone.
The purple creature lay on the deck of the boat, coughing up water and gasping in fresh air, still alive.
The water snake patted her back and asked if anything was wrong.
She forced a smile, looked up at the sky, and wiped away the water on her face with the back of her hand. To be honest, she couldn't lift her left arm anymore.
The water snake took a look and saw that the dark red was spreading from Zi's shoulder. It quickly called for the fat shrimp who knew some medical skills.
Zan Jin won't suffocate, in times of crisis, he entrusts his life, relying solely on a burst of bravery and loyalty to protect his master. As a result, he also inhales a lot of water, and is left sprawled out on the shore, where stinky fish take advantage of the situation and start slapping him wildly.
The water snake was called Fei Xia, and it finally made sense, surrounding Mozi's body.
Mozi couldn't bear to let the fat shrimp see him hurt, so he gritted his teeth and stood up. He pushed aside the four people, panted heavily, straightened his back, and loudly asked Wang Cheng of Minyue.
"Can Hong Zou cross this sea of flames?"
That sound, word by word, knocked on everyone's eardrum, ringing loudly.
When Min Song surfaced, he had scalded his arms and was lying on a clean board, being treated by Lang Zhong. Hearing the clear voice of Mo Zi Qing, he quickly sat up to look over. He saw that her face was pale, with what seemed like blood flowing from her shoulder, but her expression was resolute, her eyes shining like two small suns, unyielding and unwavering. The four people behind her followed closely, their clothes wet but without a single hair out of place, exuding an air of protection. But his team, five people with four injured, truly pitiful.
Ri Sheng lost to Hong Yu in the second round
However, this time, Min Song was not reconciled. He stared at Mo Zi steadily, and in his mind echoed the words of his family's old master - there are people outside of people, and there is heaven beyond heaven.
Wang Cheng led two other judges to re-examine and announced that both Hong Yu and Ri Sheng had passed.
But everyone present knew in their hearts that Hong Yu's victory was more impressive than Ri Zu's, especially the leader of this team.
Some people like to gamble on whether the last level, Ghost Gate Hong Yu, can pass or not. They secretly open a betting pool to see if Day Rise will lose or Hong Yu will lose.
