Become a martial girl

Chapter 396
Hormon pointed to the river leading to the Gold Coast, and continued: "Now, can you understand why this place is called the mouth of the abyss?" You are standing in front of the abyss now. Now'. This is where the name comes from. And as far as I know, no one has ever safely crossed this river mouth to reach the Sunless Tunnel a mile away. Even King Luwell, facing This estuary is also at a loss, so they turned around and proceeded from other places..."

"No, someone got through."

Mengdie interrupted Huo Meng's introduction in time and took out the map in his arms.

Someone has crossed... at least, the man who drew this map has definitely crossed this estuary.Xio's teacher, that talented magician who didn't know whether to call it scary or respectable.If Xio hadn't lied, that sorcerer definitely crossed the estuary by himself, relying on a small boat completely hand-rowed.Now that there is the first person to get through, there will definitely be a second and a third!
For Xiu's teacher, Mengdie unexpectedly developed a feeling of competition.She knew that it was her inner excitement for the strong that was at work.If she had the chance, she would definitely look for that old man, and if possible, of course, she would want to fight... No, no, no, let's think about how to cross the river now, and let's talk about the rest later.

"Anchor! Edward, as before, you take the helm. And, I want you to close your eyes and follow my command to steer the rudder."

What? ? ? ! ! !

Mengdie's words were undoubtedly crazy to the other three!In such a dangerous river, you still close your eyes?Isn't that courting death?
"Sister Mengdie, no matter what, this is..."

"Sasara, please believe me. I don't want to die, and I don't want to take a detour! I believe that Huo Meng is the same. You also hope to reach the Mercury Empire as soon as possible and find those elves to heal your people, right?"

After being told by Mengdie, Huo Meng and Sasara stopped talking naturally.But for Edward, who was holding the rudder tightly in his hands, closing his eyes was an extremely frightening thing.His lips were a little pale, and his fingers began to tremble as he looked at the river bank that was getting closer...

"It's all right, trust me. You just have to follow my instructions and turn the rudder. If you still can't bear the burden of our 'all lives'... just give the rudder to me and you stay with Sasha Pull down the cabin and hide."

Edward was indeed very afraid, afraid that he would lose everyone's lives if he made a mistake.But what he is more afraid of is being underestimated by Mengdie!After hearing such a sentence, the pride in his heart surged immediately, without further ado, he tore off a sleeve to cover his eyes, and firmly grasped the rudder with both hands.

"Come on! Mengdie, as long as it is your words, I will definitely listen! I will never disobey a word!"

Great, it looks like it's done.Mengdie helped Sasara into the cabin, and after letting the white wolf take good care of her, she immediately opened the map and projected a detailed map of the abyss estuary over the ship.

"Hormon, you are in charge of the sails. According to the prompt, in order to safely pass through the river mouth to reach the Sunless Tunnel, what is needed is not to slow down, but to speed up."

Hormon nodded, thrust the ax into the deck, grabbed the rope of the sail with both hands, exhaled, and nodded...

Well, everything is ready.Next, it depends on whether my command level is appropriate.Heh, I have hunted down pirates in the Mediterranean Sea before, but I never thought that I would now have to steer a sailboat across such rapids...

"Sail!"

Following Mengdie's order, Huo Meng immediately pulled up the sails.Under the fierce southerly wind, the whole ship gradually began to speed up and rushed towards the mouth of the river!

"Turn right 25 degrees!"

The rushing river swooped down from the upstream on the right, and the splashed water jumped over half of the hull, moistening everyone's cheeks.The icy river water was mixed with the same icy sweat. Edward gritted his teeth and forced the boat to turn 25 degrees to the right.

very good!A little closer... a little closer!Mengdie carefully observed the map enlarged to hundreds of times in size, and when she was about to reach the mouth of the river, she immediately ordered——

"Left full rudder!"

Edward snorted, without further ado, let go of the handle quickly, letting the river water hit the rudder and push the boat to the left.In less than three seconds, there was a "click", and the rudder was full to the left.However, this situation only lasted for less than five seconds.When the fierce water splashed the ship completely into the second river channel, Mengdie ordered again to turn the sails around, and at the same time let Edward play full right rudder.

Almost crazy instructions are constantly being staged on the river.Since his eyes were closed, Edward also lost the ability to judge the surrounding situation by himself.It is also the loss of the ability to judge that allows him to not be affected by the subconscious fear in his heart, to be completely loyal to Mengdie's instructions, and to steer the rudder.The hull swayed left and right in the narrow rapids, and the bow and stern could not maintain a straight line.But despite this, accurate instructions and cooperation allowed this little sea monster to still float above the water.

"Warning! There is a huge reef ahead!"

Hormon held on to the sail tightly to prevent it from being blown sideways by the uncontrolled wind.But at this time, a huge rock in the center of the river eclipsed everyone!The huge rock occupies almost half of the distance of the river, and the left and right gaps are so small that it makes people collapse!It was also at this moment that the ship suddenly lost control!Edward's rudder was severely screwed into full starboard by an eddy current.Driven by the wind and torrent, the whole boat turned to the right side and directly hit the rock!

Hormon yelled, and hurried forward to grab the sail!This astonishingly fast speed made him untie the cable involuntarily, as if he wanted to reef the sail!

"No! Don't furl the sails!"

"But the hull! The hull...!!!"

"I say no! Believe me! Brother Hormon, you are the most powerful warrior among the dwarves! You must save your people! You must not be frightened by such a small storm! Listen to me, set sail Deflection 70 degrees to the left!"

Huo Meng gritted his teeth, his hands were already blistered by the cables.The bumpy hull made him unable to stand still, almost sitting in front of the mast.Listening to Mengdie's words, he was silent for a moment.Afterwards, the dwarf's hands were immediately covered with veins!He gritted his teeth, shouted loudly, and began to pull the out-of-control sail!
(Yes... I am the strongest dwarf warrior! But Della, little Hormon, and everyone... They are all waiting for me to go back! I am their hope, how can I die in such a place! !!)

"Drink———————————————————————————————————!!!"

With a bang, the sail was pulled to the seat little by little.Driven by the huge wind force, the hull that was horizontal to the right also began to slowly straighten to the left.The squareness of the hull greatly relieved Edward's pressure. Seeing that the ship was about to hit the rock, he immediately raised the rudder and waited for Mengdie's instructions.

"Left rudder 45 degrees!!!"

Mengdie's command sounded in time, and Edward also yelled loudly, gritted his teeth, and pulled the rudder to the designated position with all his strength.Almost at that moment, a voice of gra-gra resounded from both sides of the hull!
The narrow waterway was too congested, and the Kraken with full sails still couldn't pass through.While rushing past, the mast above the hull was forcibly squeezed off by the left and right rock walls.However, such a price was exchanged for the ending that everyone passed the rock safely.

"(Dwarven) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Huo Meng was already drenched by the splashing lake water, but the joy of being saved from a desperate situation still made him whistle.Mengdie was also a false alarm about this, and quickly pressed her heart that was beating too fast, and took a breath.

"Mengdie! What's next? What should I do next?!"

Edward could not see, and the noises only frightened him.However, his shout also brought Mengdie back to his senses, waking up from a short period of relaxation.Her eyes were fixed on the map in mid-air again, and she was concentrating on preparing for the next challenge in a dangerous place!

"(song) ah~~~~~ah~~~~~~"

Ok?Where is this singing coming from?
In an instant, the sound of the surrounding water seemed to disappear, and Mengdie's mind was filled with the beautiful singing voice.Startled, she hurriedly lowered her head to find the source of the singing.But at this time, a scene that shocked her suddenly appeared in front of her eyes...

"Pfft."

A figure jumped out of the water, and then turned into the rapids again.

That figure has the tail of a fish, but the upper body of a human.The white body without any clothes wandered back and forth in the water and on the water.She has long water-blue hair with several shell-like decorations inlaid on it.Occasionally looking back, Mengdie can not only see her beautiful human appearance, but also see her mouth that keeps opening and closing, and hear what comes out of that mouth——

singing.

"boom----------!!!"

Sudden!The hull that was just right was tilted again!Mengdie's footsteps were unsteady, and she fell on the deck!

what happened?Edward...Hormon! ! !
An ominous premonition arose in Mengdie's mind, and she barely raised her head, only to see that Edward, who was supposed to hold the rudder firmly, had left his hands at this moment!With an intoxicated expression on his face, he tore off the blindfold, followed the singing and saw the fishtail female that was rapidly advancing along with the hull.At this moment, there was no fear or seriousness in his eyes.Instead, it was an intoxicated smile and longing eyes.

Not only Edward, but even Hormon who was in charge of the sail also fell into this situation.The dwarf no longer controlled the sail, but let go of his hands, lying on the bow, waving and whistling to the fishtail woman.Completely indifferent to the crazy progress of the ship!
Mengdie was convinced.Be sure of what you're getting into!
Mermaid.

In the legend of the sailors on the earth, there is a sea phantom who has a beautiful singing voice but kills people like hemp.Now, it has appeared in front of my eyes.
