Chapter 193  Volume 3 Chapter 3 The imminent catastrophe

Yan Qiyue was completely blank at that time. He just seemed to hear Shao Qing say that she would marry him? No … was willing for him to marry her!

Was he hallucinating? Was what he just heard true? Yan Qiyue quietly pinched one of his thighs. He thought that his movements were hidden, but in fact it all fell into Shao Qing’s eyes.

Shao Qing laughed on his back. The laughter caused her chest to vibrate and pass on to Yan Qiyue. That bizarre numbness once again occupied Yan Qiyue’s whole body.

Yan Qiyue took a quiet breath and couldn’t help turning over to hug Shao Qing: “Was what you said true? You didn’t lie to me?”

Shao Qing covered his eyes and leaned in to kiss his lips: “At that time when Er Dai was missing and you were seriously injured, it was only then that I realized that losing any of you is unbearable for me. Don’t blame me for being greedy. Of course, if you don’t want it, just treat it as if I had not said anything.”

Yan Qiyue hadn’t had time to respond yet when Er Dai, who had been lying on the side, rushed over and forced himself to separate the two of them. Then he pounced over and kissed Shao Qing.

His eyes were full of anger, Ah Qing is mine!

Shao Qing embraced Er Dai and drew Yan Qiyue close. Then she said softly: “I had thought that this was too shocking. How could one person love two people? Only later when I thought about it carefully, I realized I had divided my heart into pieces and given it to you guys. I don’t care about what other people say. I only care about whether the two of you would like to accompany me. ”

Yan Qiyue hugged Shao Qing’s waist tightly without saying anything. He sighed: “I never thought of enjoying you alone. This was because I know you couldn’t let go of Er Dai and for you guys, I was the latecomer. So I’m very satisfied now, just …”

He looked at Er Dai, a little worried. Shao Qing touched Er Dai’s head and then said: “When he restores his memory, if he is willing to stay, that would be the best. If he wants to leave, I will not stop him.”

Not everyone could accept such a strange three-person relationship.

Yan Qiyue accepted it very well. He rubbed Shao Qing’s legs and said with satisfaction: “I was ready to chase you all my life. This happiness came too fast.”

Shao Qing patted him and allowed him to continue to lie on his head. Then she carried Er Dai and placed him back on the other bed, telling him: “I have said it many times, you can’t move with the injuries on your back. If you don’t listen, I won’t let you stay here.”

Er Dai grabbed the edge of the blanket and looked at Shao Qing pitifully. Then he was stuffed into the quilt again. After tucking Er Dai in, Shao Qing was relieved and continued to rub Yan Qiyue’s back.

When she rubbed his back, there was some ambiguous feeling to it. After all, no matter what happened to them before, it wasn’t proper. But now, they were in a girlfriend and boyfriend relationship. Everything they did was normal.

But Shao Qing didn’t want to do anything, so Yan Qiyue hinted at everything. Then finally Shao Qing said faintly: “You fall asleep first, I’ll go out and look.”

Then ignoring the grieving Yan Qiyue, she went out. When she went up to the deck to observe the bottom of the ocean again, she found more fleeing fish.

According to common sense, if there were any fierce beasts chasing behind, it would be impossible to chase for an entire day, but still not catch up yet.

Moreover, there were many very large marine animals belonging to the humongous sea who were also escaping their lives. Thus, it must not be a vicious beast.

If it wasn’t a beast, it is very likely to be a natural disaster. If it is a natural disaster, it must be very dangerous.

If it is a fierce beast, she could fight it. If it is a natural disaster, although it is said that man can conquer nature, in the face of a natural disaster, humans were still too small.

In particular, they were now in the vast sea. Once a natural disaster occurs, their ship would be broken and it will really be over by then.

Shao Qing looked at the railing for a long time. She looked at the weather and the sea and found nothing special.

At this time, Shao Qing was a little sleepy and she was ready to go back to sleep in the cabin. She took two steps then felt the boat shake a few times. She felt a little uneasy in her heart. But, it could be some marine animals that caused vibrations when it touched the ship.

She frowned, stopped, and glanced again at the surroundings and found nothing strange before returning to the cabin to sleep.

The next two days were calm and no suspicious phenomena was found, except for the sea creatures swimming continuously in the other direction.

Noon the next day, they finally reached the edge of the reef. Travelling for another hour or so, they would finally leave the reef behind.

Even Feng Lan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this time, their ship suddenly swayed violently. The patient Yan Qiyue almost failed to stand firm and fell on Shao Qing.

After the tremor, nothing happened. But in the next half hour, a continuation of vibrations occurred. If it was once or twice, it can be said to be an accident. With so many times, there was really no way to comfort themselves.

Shao Qing twisted her eyebrows together and turned around. Suddenly, she noticed that something was wrong. Then not far away, suddenly, some fish floated up with their belly facing up.

She looked closely. At first, she didn’t seem to find anything unusual, but after staring at it carefully, she noticed tiny bubbles appearing on the surface of the water. At the beginning, it was really small bubbles. Then slowly the bubbles started to grow larger and larger.

Immediately afterwards, it formed into small fountains one by one. Two words suddenly flashed in Shao Qing’s mind: underwater earthquake!

She couldn’t care about anything else. She ran to the door of the control room and shouted: “Immediately accelerate and leave this area quickly. Don’t care about what touches the reef!”

Feng Lan didn’t know what happened, he just looked blankly at Shao Qing. Shao Qing continued anxiously: “It’s either an earthquake or a volcanic eruption. Everyone will die!”

Feng Lan was frightened, his face was white, and he started accelerating without saying a word. In order to make the speed a little faster, he measured the wind direction and then raised the sail.

The whole ship was like an arrow that left the bow. It rushed forward quickly, regardless of whether it would hit the reef and sink directly.

Maybe because it was a life or death situation, Feng Lan was bringing out his innate talent. The ship swooshed on the water and avoided the reefs perfectly.
Seeing that they were about to rush out of the reef, the bubbles sprouting out of the surface suddenly banged, and a black-gray thing spewed out. It should be water mixed with some mud-like substance. When it spouted out, it sprayed a dozen meters high.

The movement on the water surface directly led to huge waves, spreading in all directions. The affected boat was like driving on the wave tip. Feng Lan was already desperate at this time and the movement of his fingers were like phantoms.

Shao Qing did not know how to sail and could not help Feng Lan. They could only watch anxiously. More and more black, gray things erupted from the bottom of the sea.

They were almost certain that it was indeed a seabed volcanic eruption. This was just the initial eruption. When it erupts later, there will be magma.

Generally speaking, even if a volcano on the seafloor erupts, the magma will be cooled by the sea water. Finally a volcanic island would be formed. But this cooling requires time and the time it took was very long.

At least, Shao Qing and the group couldn’t wait.

Seeing that they were about to leave the group of reefs, a huge wave suddenly caught up. The eruption of the seabed volcano has always been one of the main reasons for the formation of tsunamis. After another eruption, a huge tsunami will form.

Although no tsunami has formed yet, the wave was already very large. If this wave crashes on them, their boat will shatter into pieces.

Crash! The sea wave clapped the stern of the boat, bringing the whole ship directly up with the sea wave. As they moved up and down, Shao Qing stretched out her vines and tied them to Er Dai and Yan Qiyue’s waist, then she held tightly to the pillar.

All three of them were fixed on the boat.

The waves were coming and the poor boat was completely out of control. If it was not because they were already at the edge of the reef where the reefs were scarce, they would have hit the reef at this time.

But even so, Shao Qing still had the illusion that the ship would disintegrate in the next second. The power of nature was really not something that humans can contend with. A natural disaster like this, even if she was about to break through to the sixth rank, Shao Qing can only leave it to fate.

Just when they broke away from the reef from the movement of the waves, when they were about to calm down, a huge sea wave came crashing head-on. Shao Qing exclaimed: “Not good!” She extended her vines to tie the waist of Feng Lan.

In this case, if the ship really fell apart, at least the four of them would still be together.
The huge waves directly hit the ship. Not to mention their small boat, even a giant ship would disintegrate in a flash.

So there was no suspense. Their boat was shattered into pieces of wood and the waves fell down on them. At the moment when they were hit by the waves, Shao Qing used vines to pull the group to her. Then she quickly released vines to form a huge circular shield around their body.

The moment when the waves fell down, she was nearly crushed by the huge force. Fortunately, her vines were very reliable. Under the force of the waves, she protected several people in the vine barrier.

Only Shao Qing suffered a huge impact on her own. She immediately looked pale and spat out blood.

She quickly spread out her vines to look around. Pieces of wood were floating on the surface of the water. She picked a larger board and climbed up to drag the remaining three people up.

Four people holding onto a wooden board, looking pitifully as they floated up and down in the water. Huge waves continue to roll towards them at a rapid speed.

Shao Qing, who was choking on the sea water, kept coughing as she laboredly said: “Don’t let go of the wooden board no matter what. This is our last hope.”

Feng Lan’s body was the weakest. His vision seemed to blur in front of him as he was about to pass out. Shao Qing gritted her teeth and bound Feng Lan directly to the wooden board with vines, like a mattress.

But now was not the time to laugh. Er Dai’s wounds must not get wet. Shao Qing pushed Er Dai onto the plank, so she and Yan Qiyue would float in the water, holding the edge of the plank.

Sometimes when a wave would hit, they would sink to the bottom of the sea and then slowly float back up, continuing to drift with the waves.

Feng Lan was the first to fall unconscious. Immediately following, Yan Qiyue was unable to support himself. He was originally injured. Although he was almost okay, his physical strength was still a little bit worse. If it weren’t for Shao Qing’s vines, he would have let go and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Shao Qing gritted her teeth and wiped the salty water off her face. While there were no waves hitting her, she looked in the distance. The volcanic eruption at this moment had reached the climax. Black ash and red magma sprinkled out with the seawater.

Those marine creatures that were closer to the center of the volcano eruption were more pitiful. In minutes, they had become cooked and can be eaten directly.

Shao Qing was somewhat grateful that she had discovered it early on, otherwise now, they might have been under the sea. Another wave was hit and the wooden board could not bear it anymore. Shao Qing used her vines to continuously reinforce the wooden board to ensure the wooden board temporarily did not fall apart.

They just needed to reach a place where they could plant their feet.

As the waves kept coming, they were pushed, little by little, away from the center of the volcanic eruption. So when the tsunami formed, they were already at the edge.

Shao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, this time they really were just hanging by a thread.

However, a bigger problem has come. In this vast sea, with a boundless amount of water, were they supposed to just hug onto this wooden plank and drift directly to the island country?
