Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 272 A Giant Wave Sweeps Through the Sky, Arriving Like a Startling Swan
Amidst gasps of surprise, Chen Xu remained calm and composed, not flustered in the slightest.

He is still drawing his blueprints.

This requires powerful computing capabilities; it's not that he can easily and completely draw all the details of the blueprints simply by understanding a few principles.

In particular, Chen Xu actually made improvements to this dragon-bone waterwheel.

He hoped that waterwheels could be made simpler, used more effortlessly, and operated at a faster speed.

Besides, after the dragon bone waterwheel draws water from a low position and irrigates from a high position, how to transfer water between fields is also a science.

Chen Xu used examples from some villages and fields he had actually visited to record detailed data and write calculation formulas.

In his previous life, he was a science student, and he was already more proficient in practical examples related to divination than in writing poetry and essays.

In the past, people were of low status and had little influence, so even if they knew something, it was difficult to express it.

He is no longer the penniless Chen Xu of the past; he possesses a certain level of self-defense ability and has seen only the tip of the iceberg of this world.

Even though it was just a small part, it gave him enough courage.

In this era of great strife, let us write with passion and eloquence.

Chen Xu's hand was so steady that it was as if countless wondrous rulers were pushing and pulling at the tip of his pen.

Every stroke, every line, every piece of data, every example problem is so exquisite that it seems to be the most orderly form of art in the world.

Wei Yuan stared mesmerized at the movement of the pen tip, managing to barely suppress his attention from the noise outside.

But the little mouse Ashi couldn’t hold back any longer. It suddenly stood up and leaped onto the half-open window frame.

The mouse opened its eyes wide through the gap in the windowpane.

In the vast expanse of water and sky ahead, a white wave shot towards them like an arrow released from a bow.

The white waves were initially very far away, seemingly rising from the horizon.

Therefore, people were still just exclaiming in surprise.

But in an instant, the roar of waves being cleaved apart came from afar.

Rumbling--

It was like a thunderbolt falling, startling the people on the deck of the ship who cried out in alarm.

Those with good eyesight said it was a ship speeding towards them.

Those with poor eyesight simply said it was an arrow released from a bow.

The boat moved as fast as lightning; calling it a swift boat or an arrow boat would be an understatement.

Those who speak carelessly, claiming that it was shot by sharp arrows, are actually more accurate in describing it.

"Ah...run!" People on the deck cried out in alarm as they ran around in a panic.

However, some people laughed and said, "It's just a small boat. We are on a three-story ship of the Lingwu Gang. How could we be hit by this small boat?"

"Exactly, how could anyone be so cowardly? How could a small boat possibly outrun a large ship?"
If that small boat doesn't dodge and actually rams us, then you'll all be watching closely to see whether it's the small boat courting death, or our big ship getting damaged.

"Hahaha……"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Those who were running away in panic seemed to have become a laughing stock.

But in the blink of an eye, the fast boat that seemed to be speeding along at the farthest point where the water met the sky suddenly appeared to be right in front of the ship.

Rumbling--

The sound of the waves breaking and crashing was like a series of thunderclaps, and bursts of white waves, like shattered jade beads or silver bullets, splashed up and crashed onto the deck of the large ship.

In that instant, some people were hit by the water droplets, and bloody holes appeared on their bodies!
"Ahhh!"

The laughter had long since stopped.

More screams of terror followed.

People seemed to finally realize that the speeding boat that shot towards them was definitely up to no good.

What's even more frightening is that large ships require discipline and adherence to procedures, making it difficult to turn around and evade in a short time. Furthermore, the sailors on board seemed unaware that they needed to turn around at that moment.

One of the leaders of the Lingwu Gang, who was in charge of the ship, exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no!"

boom--

But atop the speeding boat that was hurtling towards them, amidst a cluster of towering waves that seemed capable of blotting out the sky, a gigantic serpent's head could be vaguely seen rising up.

The snake's head was positioned high above, with a slight arch on top, which looked like horns!

As the snake's head vaguely appeared amidst the giant waves, its overwhelming power already pressed down from the shadows.

Some of the people on the ship looked up and saw the snake's head, and were so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed onto the deck.

Some, though not falling, felt palpitations and tremors.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a vast and majestic being descended from the sky, surveying the mortal world.

The leader of the Lingwu Gang, who was in charge of the ships, could no longer contain his shock, suspicion, and fear, and blurted out his suspicions:

"Suiki! It's Suiki from Lake Star..."

Shining Star Lake Water Lord!
This title was earth-shattering.

It was like a boulder thrown into a raging wave.

At that moment, even bursts of incoherent ramblings could be heard:

"Ahhh... Suijun, please don't bump into me! I know I was wrong, sob sob sob, I'll never stop my wife from offering incense to you morning and night again..."

Waaah, my whole family devoutly worships you!

I am also a follower of yours. The only reason I stopped my wife was because we are poor. Waaah, I will never dare to do it again..."

……

Such an admission of wrongdoing sounds like someone courting death.

People gasped, shouted, and wept.

Some people panicked and ran away.

Although no matter how far they ran, they were still on the ship, some people subconsciously felt that if they could leave the deck and run to their rooms, they would feel a little safer.

All of this may seem like a long story, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.

As the surging waves crashed in, the fast boat, like an arrow released from a bow, continued to hurtle towards the warship.

The fast boat still has the potential to collide with another boat!
At this moment, no one dared to say things like "a small boat can't damage a big ship."

"Ahhh!"

Amidst a series of heart-wrenching screams, a deep, resonant, and far-reaching voice suddenly resounded through the air:

"Where is Chen Xu in Jichuan County?"

what?
Where is that sound coming from?
Yes, it was the sound from the surging waves.

It's a sound from the speedboat!
On the speedboat, Lake Suicune actually spoke?

What did he ask?
Who is Chen Xu from Jichuan County?
As that magnificent sound resounded through the air, the giant serpent's head seemed to appear faintly in the raging waves, as if it were opening its mouth.

However, if someone musters the courage to look closely, they might vaguely realize that the snake's head doesn't actually exist.

Amidst the towering waves and swift boats, a tall, slender figure wearing a high crown stood vaguely, hands clasped behind his back.

The screams that filled the ship seemed to vanish for a moment.

In the instant of silence, a voice shouted: "I remember now, Chen Xu from Jichuan County is on the Xuan List of the Great Li Glory Record!"

Another voice called out urgently: "Chen Xu, Chen Xu, Chen Xu, where are you? Come out quickly! Don't harm us! What have you done to anger the Water Lord? You must take responsibility for your actions, ah..."

Before the shouts had even ended, a wisp of smoke seemed to rise from above the colossal, sky-covering waves.
