Chapter 172 Waiting and Daily Life

Although the party lasted the whole night, everyone slept until noon and got up one after another. They wanted to rest, but under the temptation of money, Captain Gel decided to set sail today.

After all, we still have to wait for the special natural phenomena in the waters near Gaya Island, and then we will have plenty of time to rest.

Although the upwelling current is more frequent than its relatives, and occurs several times a month, it is impossible to determine the exact time and location of its occurrence. Geer thinks that the earlier you set out, the better. Maybe it will appear today? If you miss it, you will have to wait for several more days.

...

"Huh? Are there really islands in the sky, Captain?"

Looking at Captain Gel who was standing at the bow and looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, Bia asked curiously.

"Is the legend of Sky Island true?"

Fanny also came over excitedly.

Captain Gel turned his head and looked at the two of them, nodded affirmatively, and said with a smile on his face:

"Ah, yes, it's magical, isn't it! The island ten thousand meters in the sky, not only does the Sky Island really exist, the legend of the Golden Country is also true, you will have the opportunity to witness it with your own eyes soon! Our next goal is to go to the Sky Island to plunder gold treasures! Ahem!"

After yelling all night last night, Gel's voice was a little hoarse, but when he talked about the gold and treasure, he was so excited that he couldn't control the volume, and he couldn't help coughing after he finished speaking.

"Great! Are there humans living in heaven? Are there angels with wings?"

Looking at the curious Bi Ya, Ge Er didn't want to recall too much of the plot and spoil his unknown adventure in advance, so he could only change the subject:

"Maybe. By the way, it seems that Kulokas has been there. Biya, you can go ask him. But isn't it more interesting to leave suspense in the adventure?"

"That's right! Then Captain, you'd better not tell me yet."

Bia said this and ran away happily without pestering Kurokas with questions. Captain Gel easily controlled the child's nature.

"That sounds amazing! This will definitely be an adventure of a lifetime!"

Funi also looked up at the sky with an expectant smile on her face.

I once again felt deeply moved that it was great that Mosan and I had made up our minds to leave the peaceful island in the East China Sea and choose to follow Captain Gel on an adventure at sea. There were so many landscapes that needed to be appreciated with our own eyes and so many new things that needed to be experienced in person, which could not be appreciated simply by reading books.

"No, I have to check my camera, logbook, paints, pens and other things first. See you later, Captain!"

"Well, go ahead!"

Fanny said this and ran back to her room. She wanted to prepare everything carefully in advance and make sure to record this trip well. When she gets married and has a baby in the future, she can look through the adventure journal and tell him about the wonderful scenery and exciting adventure stories that mom and dad had seen when they were young.

"Grrrrrr!"

I saw a string of bubbles rising from the sea ahead, and then Weeble's big head emerged from the sea.

"How's it going, did you find it, brother?"

"I found my brother, but there are so many! There are several big holes like the one you mentioned under the sea!"

Weibull gestured with his hands as he spoke.

Gel frowned. He vaguely remembered that the formation of the ocean current seemed to be due to a huge cavity on the seabed. When the low-temperature seawater flows into the cavity and encounters the high temperature of the geothermal energy, it will generate huge steam pressure. When the pressure exceeds the critical value and explodes completely, it will spray the seawater above to a height of ten thousand meters, thus forming an ocean current.

So Gel tried to let Weebull search for the location of the huge cavity on the seabed. Unexpectedly, he found it, but if there were several, he didn't know which one would erupt next.

"Okay, pull the boat to a place with more holes first, and the rest will be up to luck."

Gel rubbed his temple and said that the two sea beasts pulling the boat could not stay on the sky island together, and had been left by Gel to move freely in the waters near Gaya Island, so Weevil had to tow the boat over.

"Okay brother."

After the boat was parked at the designated location, all that could be done next was to wait patiently. Gel moved a recliner to the deck and began to catch up on his sleep.

Everyone on the boat was doing what they were supposed to do, and everything was normal.

In order to restore the image of Barrett in his memory, Captain Geller bought him a pair of black headphones.

Listening to the passionate BGM dedicated to sports at this time, Barrett put on his headphones and immediately joined the crazy weightlifting team on the deck, exercising with sweat pouring down. Compared with complicated interpersonal relationships, this simple life where, except for sleeping, the only things he needs to do when he opens his eyes are to improve his strength and eat, makes Barrett very enjoyable.

Moreover, every meal was very delicious. In particular, he could clearly feel that his body was getting stronger at a visible speed after absorbing the energy from the food. It was not an illusion! This discovery made Barrett ecstatic. From then on, he would eat until he was full before putting down his bowl and chopsticks. This was also a great training for Fate.

The intensity of daily training was also increasing. Barrett even had strange thoughts about why he had not met Captain Gill earlier, and regretted the several years he had wasted!

However, no matter how strong he was, Captain Gel could just raise his hand and even someone as strong as Barrett could not escape the same treatment that Wilbur had when he first started training - he was caught by Captain Gel every day and forced to train his legs.

three days in a row

While the crew members were immersed in their own affairs, lamenting that there was not enough time, Captain Gul was like a salted fish, turning over on the deck every day to dry in the sun, slowly dying in boring waiting.

"Squeak!"

"Morning everyone!"

Another new day.

Captain Gel, who woke up naturally, pushed open the wooden door and walked out of the cabin. He stretched himself and greeted everyone. He had two fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk in his hands, and looked as leisurely as a retired old man.

The sports enthusiasts on the deck were very enthusiastic. Those who had gotten up early in the morning for morning exercises were already sweating profusely and panting.
