Above the sea, the mighty fleet, with the help of the wind, sailed all the way south.

Although it was a tailwind, the speed of the ship was still less than 6 knots, which is about 10 kilometers per hour.

Before the invention of the engine, with the power of manpower and wind, there could only be this speed.

And at this moment, the ethereal singing voice came from afar, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low......

Hearing this, the face of an old shipwright changed.

"Don't go over it, get around it!"

Zheng He was stunned: "What is that?"

"That's the banshee of the sea, specially for the giant beasts of the sea to lure fishermen to eat it! When I was a child, my father once took me out to sea, and he heard this sound, and he was curious, and followed him......"

When the old boatman said this, he also trembled: "We followed the song and sailed for more than 20 miles, only to see from a distance that there was a small island on the sea, and on the small island stood a woman in red, singing in the sea......"

"At that time, my father thought that the woman was a fisherman in distress and wanted to come to the rescue, but before he could reach the place, a giant beast bigger than a mountain suddenly rushed out of the sea and almost overturned our boat. ”

"I almost tumbled off the boat, but luckily my dad caught me, and when I looked back, the woman was standing on the island, and what looked like a small island was actually just the back of a big fish!"

"At that time, we knew that the woman was actually a kraken in the sea specifically for the sea monster to lure fishermen, if we really got close, I am afraid that there will be no bones left, and then those big fish, still by our boat for a long time, maybe the thief's heart is not dead, if it is not for the speed of escape, I am afraid that I will not be able to come back......"

Speaking of this, the old boatman's face was still pale, and he said, "Turn around!"

Hearing the old boatman say this, Zheng He's brows furrowed.

In this world, there is such a mysterious thing?

"I have lived at sea for almost fifty years, and I have encountered countless things, but if it is strange and terrible, this is definitely the first ......" the old shipwright vowed.

This old shipwright, in today's words, is a technical post on the ship, and he can be a technical officer on Zheng He's treasure ship flagship, which is not an ordinary person, Tang Zhongmin and Jiang Hailong are just in this position.

Zheng He didn't dare to ignore his words, but he didn't dare to believe them all.

What an island on the sea, just the head of a fish, what a woman in red singing on the sea...... Most of these things are strange stories in the sea and cannot be taken seriously.

But......

Zheng He suddenly saw Gu Xiaobai covering his mouth and snickering next to him.

In this world, there are even Zhong Jun, let alone sea monsters.

So what to do? Let the fleet turn, or go straight to it?

People sailing on the sea are actually very superstitious, because the sea is unpredictable and moody, maybe one second it is still calm, the next second is a huge wave.

And, sailing on the top, what lies beneath the water, no one knows.

There are countless legends about sea monsters.

However, at this moment, Zheng He is not his own ship moving forward.

Beside him is an invincible fleet.

How strong was this fleet six hundred years ago?

It is not only the world's No. 1 navy, but also the world's No. 1 fleet, which can love to turn whoever it wants, who it likes to fight, and even all the navies in the world are tied together, which is not enough for it to plug between its teeth.

With such a fleet, would you still be worried about the so-called sea monsters?

Not to mention that the sea monster doesn't know if it's real, even if it's true, can it block a few cannons?

At this time, if you have to go around the wind, how far will you have to detour? The tailwind is precious, but even if it is a tailwind, it can sail hundreds of miles in a day.

If so, how long will it take?

Next to him, Gu Xiaobai was about to die of laughter.

It was a familiar voice to him, as he had just heard it.

This is the sound of a whale singing.

To be exact, the sound of a "humpback whale" singing.

Baleen cetaceans have the largest body size in the world, and living in seawater, using the characteristics of sound, have also allowed them to evolve the world's largest and strongest vocal organs, in clear weather, whale sounds, can be heard as far as dozens of kilometers away.

Before the modern era, humans knew very little about whales and always thought that they were fish.

It is commensurate with "big fish" and "giant fish".

Others believe that it is a large shark, and others believe that they are sea monsters.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, I still didn't know what it was, and called it a well fish and a cross shark.

And if it lurks in the shallow sea water and sings, it can't be seen on the sea, but it can only hear the singing, and of course it will think that there is some god singing.

Even if you see it up close, I'm afraid no one would have thought that it was that kind of behemoth singing such a tactful voice.

Moreover, cetaceans are naturally very kind to humans, and so far, there has only been one recorded case of whale attacking humans, and it is the kind that has been abused in captivity in an aquarium for a long time, and has become depressed and crazy.

Information on the protection of cetaceans and the rescue of human beings is not uncommon.

Gu Xiaobai felt that this old boatman was still young when he saw this whale, and the fisherman's fishing boat was probably not much bigger than a small sampan, how much could it be? Not as big as a whale, it was normal.

In addition, when human beings are young, they look at everything as a behemoth, so they leave the impression that the old boatman is "bigger than the mountain".

Humpback whales also like to jump on their backs, and it's normal to jump out of the water next to boats.

It's normal to follow the ship, but as for wanting to eat them, it's speculation.

God knows why, whales eat everything, attack everything, just don't eat people!

The only thing that made Gu Xiaobai wonder was the woman in red.

Probably the woman who fell into the water was rescued by a whale.

But I don't know why, Gu Xiaobai always felt that there were some inexplicable thoughts.

Woman in red.

Whale riding at sea, singing?

Could it be her?

No......

No way.

Gu Xiaobai shook his head and waved away the unrealistic idea.

Next to him, Zheng He had already looked over: "Xiaobai, what do you think?

"It's not a sea monster, it's a whale, a whale, to be exact, because it's not a fish. Gu Xiaobai said, "The singing whale is called a humpback whale, it is a fat man among cetaceans, swimming slowly, but its movements are very flexible, it is a flexible fat man, humpback whales have no teeth, they can only eat small fish and shrimp, so naturally they will not eat people......"

Next to him, the old boatman stared at Gu Xiaobai, if it weren't for Gu Xiaobai being Zhong Jun now, I'm afraid he would have to come up to find Gu Xiaobai desperately.

What Zhong Jun said is extremely true. ”

"It's okay. ”

Next to him, Tang Zhongmin and Jiang Hailong helped.

Zheng He finally made up his mind and moved on!
