Chapter 250 Amethyst under the Moon
As the wind and sand from the front became more violent, the young crew member had to change the way he sailed the boat. He kept pulling the sail, borrowing wind from the side, and moving forward in a roundabout way.
Maridan pulled on her scarf and goggles, keeping her gaze fixed on the front.
Although she didn’t find anything substantial, her intuition told her that there was something not far ahead.
"Sister! The wind is too strong! We can't continue forward, the sand boat will capsize!" the young crew member yelled.
Amidst the roar of the wind and sand, if you don't speak at the top of your voice like this, others won't be able to hear you, even if you're only a few meters away.
"Hold on for a few more minutes! It should be not far ahead!" Maridan responded equally loudly.
Her voice is much louder than that of the young crew members. The origin of the title "Black Boom Dragon" is not just about her skin color.
The young crew had no choice but to continue to work hard to control the sails and oars that were a little unruly.

As the two of them walked through the wind and sand, they felt the howling of the wind suddenly change in their ears.
The surrounding wind has not weakened, but seems to have become stable. The sand and dust swirled, forming several huge tornadoes, moving slowly among the sand sea.
The young crew carefully maneuvered the sand boat to stay away from the dust tornadoes.
This thing looks spectacular from a distance, but as long as you dare to get closer, you will be immediately sucked into the sky by the strong wind, and you will die.
Maridan looked at the tornado in the distance, and then looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
“I’ve never seen anything like this.”
“Who says it’s not?” the young crew member muttered, “This is the first time I’ve seen so many tornadoes at the same time.”
Just when the young man was about to change his hand to operate the sail to relieve muscle fatigue, the sea of sand suddenly rolled and boiled like a real ocean in a storm.
Maridan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, quickly stabilized her body and stared straight ahead.
A pair of gigantic teeth that were so huge that they transcended the concept of “living things” rushed out from under the sand.
“Is it Fengshan?!” The young crew member blurted out his shout before he was choked back in his throat.
The earth shrouded in moonlight.
An island made of purple crystal emerged from the sea of sand, dyeing the originally white moonlight into a magnificent purple, which was incredibly dreamy.
The young crew member opened his mouth wide and stood there in a daze.
Maridan, who was also lost for a moment, quickly came to her senses with the help of her willpower honed over many years and her steel-like nerves. She turned around and roared loudly, "Turn around!"
The young man was still stunned, unresponsive, and seemed to be trapped in a dream composed of purple moonlight.
Maridan rushed forward and slapped the young man on the turbaned head, causing the latter to stagger.
This was the result of her deliberately restraining her strength. Otherwise, with the strength of her hand that had been wielding a sledgehammer for many years, she might have been able to break the young man's neck.
Facing the amethyst "island" that was about to hit them, the young sailor who had regained his consciousness immediately turned the sails and paddles with all his strength without Mary Dan's reminder.
The sand boat turned urgently at a dangerous angle that was almost capsized.
The two passed by each other.
“What is that?!” the young man shouted as if he was venting his anger.
"Shut up!"
Maridan shouted in a low voice: "It may not have noticed us yet, so leave as quickly as possible!"
The young crew member kept his mouth shut obediently and concentrated on controlling the sand boat to speed up.
After all, he had faced the Fengshan Dragon several times, and after surviving the initial panic, he naturally knew what to do.
After turning around, the wind direction was favorable.
The sails were swollen by the strong wind from behind, and the sand boat quickly moved away.
After soaring for several kilometers, Maridan, who was always paying attention to the rear, breathed a sigh of relief. "That guy didn't catch up. It seems that he really didn't notice us."
The young crew member babbled in a trembling voice, "Jie Jue is definitely not Fengshan Dragon. Well, although the body shape is similar, it is bigger than the Fengshan Dragon I encountered before!
And what's going on with those amethysts? I've never seen such a mineral before. There's none in the desert, and there's none at the merchant's side. Is that guy carrying a crystal vein on his back? "
“Whatever that is, it’s not good news.”
Maridan had a dark face.
“We must travel day and night to get the news back to Lockark as quickly as possible!”
Throw the pandan to the assembly hall and let Aisha take care of it.
Gordon and the others did not stay at the assembly hall for too long, but went to the large dock to wait.
The same goes for other members of the fleet. They have been staying at the big shipyard for food and accommodation in the past few days, so that they can be dispatched as soon as possible when a crisis comes.
In terms of food, the president arranged for people to deliver meals. When it came to sleeping, he had to spread out the stalls and make do with the floor.
Although I miss the soft and warm big bed in the king-level hunter's cabin, now is a special period, so let's talk about enjoying it later.
Hunters, they sleep on the mud sometimes, so they are used to it.
Three days and two nights flew by in the blink of an eye.
The mood of the people in the Shadi Ship Group began to become impetuous.
On the one hand, the danger seems to be close at hand; on the other hand, there is no trace of where the danger lies.
Perhaps he is scaring himself, or maybe Fengshanlong just won’t come this year?
“Hey! North! Someone is coming from the north!”
Everyone looked up and saw a crew member waving a telescope on the top of Mineyama Maru's mast and shouting.
He slid down the mast and ran towards the captain of the ship, repeating what he just said, "It's our sand boat! It's coming from the north, and it's very fast!"
“Cessna, go call the president!” the captain of the ship said immediately.
"okay!"
The two knives made Cessna run away quickly.
Others quickly cleared away the debris at the entrance of the dock to make it easier for the returning sand boat to land.
A few minutes later, the sand boat arrived at the entrance of the dock.
It barely slowed down and almost seemed to fly into the dock.
Maridan jumped directly from the sand boat, her red eyes looked like she was ready to pull out a sledgehammer and hit the man at any time.
“Where is the president?” Maridan asked gruffly.
The captain of the ship strode towards her, "I've already asked someone to call, Maridan, what did you find?"
Two people of similar age seem to know each other.
"We encountered it, but it wasn't Fengshansaurus. It's hard for me to describe what it was. It's similar in shape to Fengshansaurus, but it's bigger. There's a purple crystal-like mineral behind it. It might be a subspecies of Fengshansaurus or something." Mary Dan's language is concise and clearly describes the "things" she saw.
The young helmsman, who was almost out of strength, also came over with the support of his companions in the crew.
“We drove due north for two days and one night, taking several breaks during this period. Overall, it was about a day and a night’s journey.
We encountered a sandstorm at night. After rushing into the sand for a certain distance, we saw it. It was very large. Its two teeth were probably more than twenty meters long, and its back was like an amethyst island.
Then we rushed back at full speed throughout the night. "The young helmsman spoke quickly and his thoughts were clear. He seemed to have organized his words many times on the road.
“What happened? What happened?!”
At this moment, the guild leader of Lockrak came riding a mushroom pig.
Maridan took a deep breath and began to repeat what she had said before.
“The opponent is not Fengshan Dragon!”
Ps. Have any book friends who have played mh3 asked me what Fengshan Dragon looks like? Well, I can’t upload the picture now. In short, it’s just a fat crocodile with two ivory tusks? The kind that's more than a hundred meters long?
