This is not only a difficult journey, but also a test of death.
The two of them spread their arms and tried their best to dive in the sea water. However, they only swam more than half the way, and a heavy feeling began to hit their chests as expected. Meng Tianxiong felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, and his limbs became more and more severe. It's getting heavier and heavier, and its stealth speed is getting slower and slower.
Several pirate boats passed over their heads, and the shadows on the bottom of the boats seemed to intensify his chest tightness.
Meng Tianxiong really wanted to jump out of the sea and lift the boat passing overhead. However, Meng Tianxiong suppressed this strong impulse. He reminded himself over and over again to stay calm.
The distance between him and the pirate ship is slowly getting shorter, but now every meter he advances requires more effort. Every time he moves his arms, his chest becomes heavier.
When he was about one-third of the distance from the pirate ship, Meng Tianxiong felt that he had almost reached the limit of his endurance. The huge pressure of the seawater made his chest tighter even more severe. The distance of more than one hundred meters has exceeded the limit of his diving. Meng Tianxiong is undergoing a severe test. Whether he faces survival or death completely depends on whether his will is strong enough and whether he can endure living in this place. The great pain of underwater itching.
For his own sake and for the sake of "Happiness", he must persevere. This is the only thought left in Meng Tianxiong's heart, and it is also the thought he must hold on to.
He turned back and glanced at Li Dongsheng who was following him. The distance between the two widened even further, and it was obvious that Li Dongsheng's situation was worse than him.
Meng Tianxiong slowed down his sneaking movements slightly. The distance between the two cannot be widened any longer, otherwise Li Dongsheng is likely to surface because of losing hope. When the time comes, the pirates will immediately discover Li Dongsheng, and this plan will completely fail.
Slowing down also meant that Meng Tianxiong would have to stay underwater for longer, and he would also endure greater pain. This was a huge pain that seemed like his chest was about to burst. He gritted his teeth and endured it silently.
Travel. Keep swimming forward. Finally, Meng Tianxiong vaguely saw the keel of the pirate ship appearing in front of him. He and the pirate ship were very close.
Meng Tianxiong turned around again and found that Li Dongsheng was moving his arms slower and slower. He could hardly row anymore, and his body gradually floated upward.
Meng Tianxiong was shocked. He immediately made a decision, turned around suddenly, gathered his scattered strength, and swam towards Li Dongsheng.
Meng Tianxiong had reached the limit of his body. The moment he turned around and went back, he had pushed himself into the abyss of death. When he grabbed Li Dongsheng's arm, Meng Tianxiong almost fainted and dived for a long time. The violent exercise has made his brain confused. He can now hold Li Dongsheng's hand almost entirely by relying on his instinct.
Li Dongsheng¡¯s mouth opened, a series of blisters kept rising, and his head shook feebly. Meng Tianxiong understood that Li Dongsheng was asking him to swim forward on his own, and he no longer had the ability to swim forward.
Meng Tianxiong ignored his intention. He held Li Dongsheng's arm with his left hand, then closed his eyes and waved his right hand desperately.
The pirate ship was still more than ten meters away from them. He would never be able to swim this short distance without working hard.
Li Dongsheng struggled feebly. He did not want to drag Meng Tianxiong into the sea with him, and he was even more unwilling to cause the mission to fail because of him.
However, Meng Tianxiong did not give up. Since two people were working together to complete this task, he absolutely could not let Li Dongsheng drown behind him.
The danger of the sea has already taught him a truth. In the most difficult moments, the only way is to unite and help each other.
The distance of more than ten meters was originally so short. But the distance of more than ten meters grows so slowly because it carries the lives of two people.
"Hold on for a while, and hold on for a while longer," Meng Tianxiong's mind was blank, with only this sentence appearing repeatedly. It was Meng Tianxiong's almost instinctive insistence that he and the pirate ship shortened bit by bit.
Finally, the pirate ship was right in front of him, and Meng Tianxiong finally lost all his strength. He really could no longer wave his arms.
However, what makes Meng Tianxiong even more anxious is Li Dongsheng. He can no longer feel any of Li Dongsheng's movements.
Without looking back, Meng Tianxiong also knew Li Dongsheng's situation. He was already in a coma. If he could no longer breathe a breath of air, he would immediately become a cold corpse.
Meng Tianxiong let out a crazy roar under the water. There was no sound. Instead, the seawater gurgled into his mouth and lungs. For a moment, he was in great pain.
The sudden and huge pain was exactly what Meng Tianxiong needed. The huge pain strongly stimulated his nerves that were about to become numb. Under this stimulation, Meng Tianxiong frantically waved his arms and swam forward again.
The distance is getting closer inch by inch, and life is disappearing bit by bit.
Suddenly, Meng Tianxiong felt a pain in his waving right hand, and a huge joy suddenly surged in his heart. Finally, he touched the hard keel of the pirate ship.
Finally able to surface, Meng Tianxiong quietly pulled Li Dongsheng to the surface together. The fresh air came to his face. Meng Tianxiong closed his eyes and breathed in and out, enjoying it. He felt like he was back in the world again.
He and Li Dongsheng were hiding under the bow of the pirate ship, and people on the ship could not find them for the time being. Meng Tianxiong immediately slapped Li Dongsheng on the back hard. After a while, Li Dongsheng finally opened his eyes and breathed in the air greedily.
Li Dongsheng looked at Meng Tianxiong and said softly: "You saved my life again."
Meng Tianxiong just smiled faintly and said: "The pirate's boat has already docked beside the 'Happiness'. They are ready to board the ship. It's up to the two of us next."
Li Dongsheng nodded silently, the two of them were like strange soldiers on the battlefield. The fate of the "Happiness" is entirely in their hands.
The pirates on the boat were ready to board the "Happiness". The pirates threw ropes with five sharp iron hooks towards the "Happiness". Then climb up the rope.
The first pirate to climb aboard the Joy was a bald man, when his brown head just emerged from the side of the ship. A soldier who had been waiting on the side of the ship pulled him aboard the "Happiness". The pirate turned around triumphantly and waved his hands to signal the other pirates who were climbing towards the Joy.
He was the best among all pirates because he was the first to board the "Joy" and he felt like a winner. His pride did not last long, however, when he turned around and prepared to announce that he had captured the Joy. A young general stood before him.
He had never seen such a young general before, and the murderous intent on his face made him tremble all over. The pirate immediately realized the danger he was in and wanted to jump into the sea to save his life. However, Long Zhantian could not give him such an opportunity. He suddenly pulled out the Xiuchun knife from his waist, and saw a cold light flash, and the pirate's head rolled onto the deck.
Long Zhantian gently wiped the blood on his face and said: "Don't leave any of them behind, kill them all."
The pirates below had no idea what was happening on the deck. They were afraid that the loot would be seized by others, so they scrambled to climb up. When they poked their heads over the side of the ship, the soldiers dragged the pirates onto the deck. Before the pirates could understand what was happening, the soldier raised his knife and dropped his sword. The pirate who had just climbed onto the deck was already dead. In a short time, more than a dozen pirates who climbed aboard the "Happiness" turned into corpses lying on the deck.
Opposite the "Happiness". Below the pirate ship, when Meng Tianxiong saw the pirates throwing ropes to the "Happiness", he didn't care to continue to recover his strength. He dived back to the bottom of the ship and started drilling holes.
He knows very well that time has become the key to their success or failure. On the "Huanxi", Long Zhantian had already begun to kill the pirates. Although the pirates on the small boat could not see what was happening on the deck of the "Huanxi" for the time being, the pirates left behind on the pirate ship could see everything clearly. Chu. They will never tolerate the resistance of the "Huanxi", and they will bombard all the shells at the "Huanxi" without reservation.
The deck of the "Happiness". It is a battlefield, and there is also a battlefield underneath the pirate ship. Whether it is the "Huanxi" or the Sky Pirates, this is a battle that determines life and death. Therefore, this battle will be particularly cruel.
It was certainly a very difficult task for two people to dig through the bottom of the pirate ship. Meng Tianxiong touched the tightly sealed bottom of the ship and once again clearly realized the difficulty of this task. Although they had gone to the bottom of the pirate ship with great difficulty, they could not reach the bottom of the pirate ship. Whether they can sink the pirate ship is still unknown to them.
First of all, you must have excellent water properties to be qualified for this task, and drilling through the bottom of the ship must be completed underwater. Of course, the most stringent time for water-based people has passed, and now they are in a position where pirates cannot find them, and they can go to the surface to get some air.
Secondly, it is difficult to exert force in sea water. Most of the force of striking the chisel is dissolved by the sea water. However, every time you swing the hammer in your hand, it takes several times more effort than swinging it on the ground. ThisA match is a test of the physical strength of two people.
Thirdly, the bottom of a ship is often the strongest part of a ship. The bottom of this pirate ship is made of black sandalwood, and tung oil is applied between each ship board. The entire bottom of the ship is so flat that there is almost no trace of it. flaw.
Meng Tianxiong held the iron chisel in his left hand and the hammer in his right hand. He took a deep breath and dived into the water. First, he needs to find a suitable chisel point. After adjusting his body, he hits one position hard again and again. But no matter how hard he tried, the chisel seemed to hit a piece of cotton. The bottom of the boat made of ebony wood was as hard as iron, and his tapping could not cause much damage to the bottom of the boat.
He glanced at Li Dongsheng anxiously and saw that his condition was not much better. Li Dongsheng had never done such a thing underwater, so it was difficult for him to control the balance of his body, and his movements when striking the chisel seemed even more clumsy. ridiculous.
Meng Tianxiong has been looking for a suitable chisel point, which is the joint point between two wooden boards. There may be small gaps in this joint, which is relatively easy to be pierced.
However, Meng Tianxiong discovered that the craftsmanship of this pirate ship was relatively advanced. Tung oil had been carefully and evenly applied between the gaps in each wooden plank, so the entire bottom of the ship became hard and firm. The bottom of the ship was like an iron plate. It was difficult for Meng Tianxiong to work on such a A breakthrough was found in the bottom of the ship suitable for chiseling.
When Meng Tianxiong¡¯s breath of oxygen was almost exhausted, he finally found such a breakthrough¡ªperhaps it was a small crack left due to a small oversight during production.
Meng Tianxiong¡¯s next job is to keep tapping along this slit to expand it and eventually turn it into a large hole with water seepage. Of course, there is still a lot to do before this thin line turns into a big hole.
During this period, anything can happen. Maybe the pirates have occupied the "Happiness", maybe the pirates on the ship will find them and give them a fatal blow.
When Meng Tianxiong surfaced for air, the pirates had already climbed onto the deck of the "Happiness" along the ropes. Long Zhantian might have already attacked the pirates, which meant that the two of them should speed up even more.
He and Li Dongsheng, who came out of the water for air at the same time, looked at each other. Li Dongsheng's eyes were stubborn and anxious. He couldn't help but nodded to him and said that they would succeed. After Li Dongsheng also nodded, the two dived back to the bottom of the boat and continued working. .
Meng Tianxiong¡¯s hand stroked this small slit, and his mood was a little complicated. For the pirates, perhaps this narrow crack will open a door to hell, while for the "Joy", this small crack will open a door to hope.
He put the chisel in the middle of the slit, then raised the hammer and struck hard. If he was just testing it during the first dive, now he had used all the strength he could muster.
The small cracks slowly became larger under his hammer after hammer blow. Maybe they didn¡¯t get bigger. Now they just lost the tung oil applied on the wooden board.
However, Meng Tianxiong thought of the result. When the crack expanded to one finger wide, he only had to insert the chisel into the crack and then pry hard, and the crack would become a big hole. At that time, seawater will flow into the bottom cabin along this big hole, and the pirate ship will sink.
Of course, just one big hole is not enough. There must be as many holes as possible, so that seawater can pour in quickly. Even if the pirates on the ship find out, they will not have time to take remedial measures.
He glanced at Li Dongsheng beside him, and saw that he was puffing out his cheeks, opening a pair of big round eyes, and swinging the hammer non-stop. It seemed that he was full of hatred for the pirate ship in front of him, and wished that the pirate ship would sink immediately. .
Meng Tianxiong thought silently, maybe this is a soldier's desire for victory. Just now he almost drowned in the sea, but now he can devote himself to the battle without fear.
Their strength is constantly being consumed, the cracks in the bottom of the ship are constantly increasing and expanding, and the door to hell is slowly opening to the pirates.
Suddenly, the pirate ship shook violently.
Then the dull sound of artillery firing rang in the ears of the two of them.
