Time Travel: Age of Discovery

However, since the ship owner said this, it must be for a reason, or perhaps he had never encountered such a situation before, so Teya did not say a word and did not think about it.

Thunder roared, clinking the sky with occasional clap of thunder, and the waves surged with it. But strangely, a sea fog suddenly appeared around them, intensifying with a surprising intensity. The captain resolutely discarded his cigarette butt and immediately dispatched the helmsman. Everyone worked together to prepare for such unpredictable weather, not daring to neglect even a moment.

The wind was howling, and they had to fold the sails. However, the sea fog was thick, and the surrounding scenery was difficult to distinguish. Even if the waves were surging and they pushed the boat forward, they could not stop its momentum.

Suddenly, a thunder exploded overhead. In the darkness, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, like a sharp blade cutting through the inky sky, illuminating the nearby sea in an instant, but then disappearing in a flash.

Just like a fully loaded clay jar that suddenly broke, the sky finally rained, but the sea fog did not dissipate at all. Instead, it became thicker, as if it had solidified into substance.

Inside the room, the lamp hanging from the beam swayed unsteadily, casting a dim light, shrouding the entire room in a depressing atmosphere.

Suddenly, the sound of whips rang out in the air, followed by a muffled groan. Someone shouted angrily, "How dare you look at me like that! Are you seeking death?"

A rough male voice echoed, and the sound of whipping resumed. The people around him hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "If anything goes wrong, we won't be able to take responsibility."

"It's okay. A mere whipping can't be fatal." Inside the iron cage, Tiger's upper body was covered with scars. He lowered his head in silence, but his eyes were quietly peeking at what was happening outside the cage.

Since being imprisoned here, Tiger discovered that many creatures have been captured here, both humans and other races. However, everyone seemed to have accepted their fate, with empty eyes.

Those who were previously detained here were whipped on a single pretext. Now the man chained with iron chains had become silent, and only groaned a few times when he was whipped.

Tiger's indignation towards these evil humans continued to grow, but he did not give up the idea of ​​survival and was always thinking about whether he could find a chance to escape.

Thunder rumbled and the cabin shook. Tiger knew the meaning of the sea very well, and this was a sign of a storm.

This room has no windows, only a small vent, so Tiger cannot know the details of the outside world. At this moment, he can only close his eyes and listen to the sounds outside to guess the current situation of the ship.

At this moment, on the deck, a group of men in black were busy in the rain to prevent the ship from being damaged by the storm.

The leading man tightened the hood of his cloak, and the rain slid down the seams of his clothes. He held a map in his hand and examined it carefully in the dim light, looking up from time to time to survey the surrounding environment.

However, the thick sea fog severely obstructed their vision, and they could only roughly determine the direction.

The man murmured to himself, "We should be sailing in the right direction now." Then he asked the person standing on top of the mast if he could see the situation ahead clearly.

As expected, the situation was extremely difficult and it was almost impossible to see what was ahead. The best thing to do at the moment was to slow down to prevent any accidents.

However, the man did not order the boat to slow down. He believed that this was just the abnormal climate in the sea area, and everything would be solved once they crossed the sea area.

So, their ship did not slow down and continued to sail forward. However, its course was quietly deviated in the sea fog...

merchant ship.

Teya stood at the cabin door, looking at the pouring rain outside, feeling confused.

Perhaps because the experience of the last rainy night was too profound, Teya always feels uneasy whenever he encounters such weather.

Fortunately, the ship owner was experienced and managed to stabilize the ship, so there was no danger for the time being.

The route might change due to the thick sea fog, and the ship owner couldn't tell where the next island would be. But as long as they could get through this bad weather, any destination was possible.

The captain inspected the entire ship one last time, then walked towards the cabin. When he saw Teya, he smiled and nodded.

However, before Teya could greet him, he saw the captain suddenly thrown out and disappeared from his sight in an instant.

The whole ship suddenly shook violently. Teya was unable to stand firmly and hit his head against the wall, feeling dizzy.

Although he didn't know what was happening outside, Teya could clearly hear a sharp creaking sound coming from outside.

In an instant, the first thought that came to his mind was that the boat might have hit something.

……

Go back in time, one minute ago.

A black ship sped through the waves, passed through the sea fog, and headed straight into the distance.

Tiger, who was trapped in the cabin, naturally noticed the speed of the ship.

He was extremely surprised that even in the storm, the ship could still maintain such a speed. These people were so bold!

At this moment, Tiger's eyes fell on the wall behind him.

This should be the place where the cabin is close to the hull, so close to the wall that you can even hear the sound of waves hitting the hull.

"What are you doing?" The guard walked towards Tiger with a whip in his hand. He had noticed that Tiger was behaving strangely and looking around, wondering what he was thinking.

The caretaker approached Tiger and gave him a fierce look.

"Do you think you can escape? I'm telling you, once you fall into the hands of the Celestial Dragons, you'll..."

boom--

A loud thud came from the hull, and then the whole ship shook violently, as if it was about to capsize.

A group of people who were bound by chains were even thrown into the air due to the huge impact. The chains were connected to the wall, and their joints were instantly worn out and bleeding. The pain was so severe that they were beyond words.

Tiger was in the iron cage and was also hit from one side of the wall to the other due to the impact, and his head was dizzy for a while.

At this time, it could be seen from the outside that on the stormy sea, a black ship crashed into the merchant ship's hull. The force of the collision was so great that a crack immediately appeared in the middle of the merchant ship, and it seemed that it would break at any time.

The black ship seemed to be not spared either, with its mast tilted and its bow sunken.

However, immediately afterwards, the black ship actually drew an arc, and its stern hit the place where the merchant ship had just been hit. This became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the merchant ship.

The merchant ship broke apart in the middle and fell apart.

The sudden break caused both the bow and stern of the ship to tilt. Teya leaped onto a piece of wreckage at the break...
