Chapter 807 I, Zhao Lianping, am not wrong!
Chapter 807 I, Zhao Lianping, am not wrong!
At this moment, Li Ming used the bow of the ship to gain some leverage; otherwise, it would have been quite strenuous to rely solely on his own strength.
But before he could even get a proper rest, the boat jolted as if it had hit a pebble, and the whole boat began to rock.
This made Li Ming feel a little uncertain. What else could he encounter in the sea besides large fish? Wouldn't it just be a runaway reef?
The Caledonia wasn't immune to running aground. To be precise, when it did, the sailors and first mate were not incompetent.
If things go wrong, there's Jimmy Shue, and besides, a group of skilled sailors/pirates.
Okay, a superposition of sailors and pirates.
How could these guys not be able to see the water depth and the situation in the sea? Only Yan Chengying, that simpleton, could run aground even when he was just away from the coast, despite not knowing how to sail.
This made Li Ming suddenly realize that letting Yan Chengying lose his helmsman position was a mistake.
If I weren't seasick right now, I would definitely make that kid pay.
Still at the helm, he looked like something had happened, something had happened.
What a big deal!
"Lianping, come with me to the cabin and see which watertight compartment is broken."
Li Ming still felt a bit nauseous, especially after Yan Chengying started the boat, which rocked left and right, making him feel even more nauseous.
There was no other way but to call down that guy who was still doing pull-ups with a steel gun on the mast.
"it is good!"
Zhao Lianping flipped over and jumped off the mast. When he looked up, he saw a person floating in front of him with their feet not touching the ground. He was almost startled and thought he had been possessed.
Upon seeing the black and white striped hem, he realized it was Li Ming and let out a deep breath, "Phew, Boss Li, you're terrifying!"
Seeing Yan Chengying's powerful appearance, yet his face turned pale with fright, made Li Ming roll his eyes.
"You rascal, don't you understand the saying 'Confucius did not speak of disorder, physical strength, strange phenomena, or spirits'? As long as you are strong enough, ghosts and monsters will all stay away from you."
"But Boss Li, not everyone can fly through the air!" Zhao Lianping thought for a long time before finally uttering this remark.
He learned to fly through the air from Yan Chengying's repeated criticisms, even though he was illiterate.
This statement truly stumped Li Ming, because flying through the air was indeed not Li Ming's own ability.
At least when he was wearing the [Firebringer - Zhenkun] and [Candlelight Outfit - Chuguang], the jetpack could only provide a boost and help him adjust his body shape in the air.
The ability to hover or fly relies entirely on the downward jet of air from [Ice Yama? Other Shore], utilizing the Bernoulli effect to achieve low-altitude levitation. [Observer? Lost], on the other hand, uses the sheer force of [Pi] and [Project Hengsha] to achieve low-altitude skimming.
Therefore, Li Ming estimated that only the True Man Chi Yuan could achieve what Zhao Lianping described as flying through the air.
He was an immortal, after all!
"Stop talking nonsense and go check if there's anything wrong with the watertight compartment."
He reached out and smacked Yan Chengying on the head. This guy had been a bit too talkative lately, and now he even dared to tease him.
"Yes!"
Zhao Lianping walked at the front, rubbing his aching head, and then led the way, carrying his steel gun, into the cabin.
As soon as the two entered the cabin and moved closer to the inside, seawater had already risen to the bottom of the cabin. It was clear that Yan Chengying had run aground.
"Tsk, that guy's skill level is just so-so, yet he dares to try and take the helmsman's position."
Zhao Lianping's disdainful tone revealed his dissatisfaction with Yan Chengying taking his helmsman position.
These words made Li Ming roll his eyes at him. "What makes you think you're any better?"
"At least I didn't hit the reef," Zhao Lianping said, indicating that he was awesome for not hitting the reef.
He even wanted to stand proudly with his hands on his hips, but Li Ming kicked him in the butt. Luckily, the kick wasn't too hard, or he would have been sent flying.
"You're even breathing heavily now!"
Li Ming stood with his hands behind his back and said, "You looked cool when you got down, but you tore the canvas!"
"Just a piece of canvas..." Zhao Lianping said, "It's just a rag!"
"Then go down and push!"
Li Ming said, "If the sail of a sailboat is damaged, what will be used for propulsion?"
"Use your two-armed muscles, Zhao Lianping?"
"I think I'm definitely better than Lao Yan as a helmsman!"
Zhao Lianping: I, Zhao Lianping, did nothing wrong!
Zhao Lianping is now avoiding the topic, making no mention of the fact that he damaged the canvas.
This left Li Ming speechless. "If you bring this up again, I'll hang it on the mast as a sail!"
"Alright!" Zhao Lianping quickly shut his mouth, indicating that he was there to work.
However, Yan Chengying's boat-handling skills were indeed poor. He damaged two of the watertight compartments. Fortunately, the ship's cabins were large and well-separated, otherwise the other cabins would have been flooded as well.
Then there's no need to take a boat. Why doesn't Li Ming just freeze a small iceberg and ride it to Li Island?
However, considering that a small iceberg is like an ice cream cone in front of that dragon.
Li Ming felt that unless there was no other way, it was best not to ride the iceberg to find the dragon.
They quickly located the damaged area, a gap about the size of a person.
Zhao Lianping, that simpleton, braced himself with his steel gun, jumped over, and then used the person as a bathtub plug, pushing him upwards.
"No, Boss Li, we can't plug this hole!" Zhao Lianping gripped the two sides of the opening tightly with both hands, then used his buttocks to plug the hole.
Zhao Lianping: I will fight to the death to stop this monstrous wave!
But Li Ming couldn't stand Zhao Lianping's foolishness, so he pulled Zhao Lianping away, and immediately, a surge of seawater rushed towards them.
"【The Other Shore of the Underworld】!"
In an instant, the surging seawater froze into ice, and the frozen ice became one with the cabin, fitting together perfectly.
"Mission accomplished!" Li Ming clapped his hands, indicating that it was an easy task.
However, a trembling voice came through, causing Li Ming to lose his composure.
"Li, Boss Li, I feel like I'm frozen solid. Why is it so cold? Isn't this seawater?"
Zhao Lianping, frozen like Santa Claus, with his white beard and eyebrows, looked like a little old man, not to mention he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, all because it was cool by the sea.
Can anyone tell him why the temperature suddenly dropped?
"Tsk, that's so lame!"
Li Ming sighed and did not thaw him directly on the spot, because doing so would cause the frozen cabin to thaw again.
Li Ming, who was just thinking about how to help Zhao Lianping thaw out, was suddenly interrupted by Cheng Ling Shuang appearing beside her.
"Uncle-Master, Senior Sister Su has just caught a cold... We shouldn't use this kind of cold-inducing technique anymore. There aren't many medicines on the ship, and if there's another patient with a cold, we won't have enough medicine."
Cheng Ling Shuang originally came to complain about how Li Ming put cold air bombs in the ship, but when she arrived, she saw a certain ice sculpture artwork - Zhao Mouren.
These words made Li Ming rub his cheek, pondering for a moment, "Is that so?"
Then Li Ming took out the [Sunfire Greatsword] and handed it to Cheng Ling Shuang. Immediately, a sharp light flashed in Cheng Ling Shuang's eyes, which had been completely calm before.
"Uncle-Master, this..."
Is my martial uncle planning to give me this sword? Although it's not as suitable as the Xuanyuan Sword that I wield, it's still a divine weapon.
Seeing Cheng Ling Shuang clutching the [Sunfire Greatsword] tightly, looking at it with obvious affection, Li Ming immediately thought of the situation where his [Scattered Fragment] was almost lost in Su Mei's hands, so he coughed twice.
At this moment, Cheng Ling Shuang was still fantasizing about how she would wield this greatsword to slay demons and monsters! Suddenly, a cough interrupted her thoughts.
"Ahem, this greatsword was lent to your senior sister Su by your martial uncle. Keep it with you, and the power of the Sunfire, no, the Blazing Fire, will dispel the cold."
"Oh..." Upon hearing this, Cheng Ling Shuang immediately became unhappy, kicked the [Sunfire Greatsword], and sullenly dragged it away.
This gave Zhao Lianping a glimmer of hope. He looked at Li Ming with trembling eyes, "Then, what about me, Boss Li?"
“You…” Li Ming turned around and looked at Zhao Lianping, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, “As for you, of course I have my own plans!”
"I knew it! I knew Boss Li wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die!"
"Ha ha……"
