Fierce thunder and lightning streaked across the stormy night sky, and the world was plunged into a loud noise that pierced the clouds and cracked the rocks. The thick clouds above were hanging low and surging, and the huge waves below were boiling and turbulent. The hurricane was like a circling dragon, forcing the distance between the sea and the sky to an infinitely oppressive level.
A small wooden boat was shaken and flipped in such a storm. The glaciers were broken, and the sea was so vast that it was as fragile as a feather and could be torn to pieces by external disasters at any time.
Another flash of lightning fell, and the twisted silver snake illuminated the broken ice on the sea that were attacking each other, and also illuminated the shape of the small boat.
It was a brand new, beautiful sealed longboat. The unpainted white wood gave the boat an elegant ivory-like milky white color, with faintly carved, fuzzy, curled patterns painted with gold-like copper powder, making it look more rustic than luxurious. The slender bow was still decorated with clusters of flowers, but after being tossed by thunderstorms, tsunamis, and violent storms, the flowers had long since withered, leaving only a few tightly tied stems hanging bare in the wind.
This is not a ship designed for going out to sea, nor is it even a ship suitable for launching. Who would be so wasteful as to push it into such bad weather and onto the raging ice sea
"… The weather is so bad, the gods may not be satisfied with this sacrifice…"
The people on the shore murmured worriedly as they looked out at the terrible weather in the deep sea.
"Don't talk nonsense!" The people next to him shouted hastily, "This is the test of the storm. The sacrifices we send every year have to go through this process. It's God who is watching our piety!"
The waves raged more and more violently, and the swirling whirlpools stirred countless bottomless eyes. The boat was swaying and almost breaking around the eye sockets. The sound of thunder resounded throughout the world, like a giant eagle covering the sky, making an unbridled howl as it flew across the sky.
A crack had penetrated the boat from end to end. The crossbar barely supported the bottom of the boat. It could no longer withstand any waves. However, it was a real miracle that it could hold up until now. At this moment, the sea water poured into the closed cabin, freezing cold, and completely soaked the heavy carpet inside.
Yun Chi was awakened by the water under such circumstances.
He was in a daze, his brain was a mess, and he could only feel the pain of broken bones. He couldn't even move a little finger, and the back of his head was cold, he didn't know whether it was blood or water.
…What’s wrong with me
His eardrums were filled with explosive buzzing sounds, and all the noisy sounds in the world rushed into his body. Yun Chi wanted to vomit, but his soul seemed to be completely separated from his body. He could only feel but not control it.
… How did I get here
The seawater continued to pour in, and half of his body was soaked in the freezing water, unable to escape, let alone struggle. Perhaps it was the sound of the ship breaking, the sound of the ice colliding, or perhaps it was an illusion brought by pain, but there was a constant sound similar to ridicule, which came to Yunchi's ears from all directions.
I don't remember being locked in a coffin before, I was, I was...
The whispers were getting louder and louder, and Yun Chi couldn't help but concentrate and listen carefully. No, it was nothing else, not an illusion, it was really a sarcastic laugh! It was sharp and piercing, with a complacent arrogance, looking down on his suffering from a high position.
