"It may be that Dayang's annotation is wrong, after all, the book was written 30 years ago, and who knows if the scholar who wrote the book got it right. Wu Songman didn't care.

"Maybe," Wang Gong didn't relax, his face tightened, "I just feel that our journey has been too smooth, and I'm a little uneasy." ”

Now the people on the ship can't do anything, and when night falls, the sailors on board can't see anything. All that can only be waited for the scout to be reported.

Thirty miles, with a clipper boat back and forth, it only takes less than half an hour.

Wu Song and Wang Gong stood on the deck together, waiting for the scout's return. Half an hour later, they saw a small boat approaching.

The ship was lit with the lights of the royal pirates, but the people on board were crooked and did not know what had happened.

There were two groups of scouts on two small boats, and this one was now one of them.

Now it seems that something must have happened.

Wang Gong said in a loud voice, "Send someone to take a look." ”

"I'll go. Wu Song spread his flaming wings and flew into the small boat.

There were four people on board, and all of them fell on the boat. Wu Song probed their pulse, already dead. The body temperature is still there, so it should not be long after death.

Wu Song examined their bodies again and found no obvious injuries.

In other words, they did not die from external injuries. Wu Song checked their meridians again, and it was not poisoned to death.

So how did they get killed?

Wu Song pulled the small boat to the big boat, and the other sailors dragged the body onto the boat.

Wu Song told Wang Gong about the results of his examination, "Time is in a hurry, I know that they did not die from trauma and poisoning, but what the cause of death is, I don't know yet." ”

Wang Gong looked at the sea, "There is another group of scouts, they should be back now." ”

Wu Song was a little worried and discouraged, "It's more likely that they won't come back." ”

Wang Gong glanced at Wu Song and knew that what Wu Song said was most likely right, so he immediately ordered, "All ships stop, and then move forward after ascertaining the situation ahead." ”

The three big ships stopped, and the captains of the other two big ships also came to the big ship where Wang Gong was, waiting for orders.

Now they were only twenty miles from the reef that the sailors had seen before, and if there was an ambush ahead, then they would have time to retreat now.

"If there is an ambush ahead of Given's men, then we need to retreat now in case they surround us. A captain analyzes the situation.

"Ji Wen is a person, don't fight a battle that he is not sure of," Ji Wen has been working in the Wang family pirates for more than 20 years, Wang Gong knew Ji Wen when he was a child, and he knew him very well, "If he wants to ambush in front,

Then I will have to make sure that the number of troops is more than twice as large as mine, so that I can make sure that nothing goes wrong.

If there were so many pirates in ambush ahead, we wouldn't have found out. ”

"So, according to the leader's guess, what lies ahead?" asked one of the captains.

"What the hell is it, we don't know here, or should we send someone to take a look at it again," Wu Song suggested, "Or I'll go, judging from the current situation, there is danger ahead." ”

Wang Gong called a sailor and said, "Pick out five good men for Brother Wu Song to call." ”

Wang Gong looked at Wu Song, "Be careful, the main thing to do is to investigate, and you will come back when you find out the news." ”

Wu Song nodded, turned around and walked away.

Wu Song took five people and left in a small boat.

They didn't light the lamp, and if there was really an enemy in front of them, then lighting the lamp would startle the snake.

It was pitch black all around, and from time to time there was a slight sea breeze blowing through, which made people's backs chill.

Wu Song mobilized all his senses to perceive the situation around him.

A quarter of an hour later, they came to the vicinity of the reef that had been reported by the sailors.

Wu Song's eyesight was amazing, and he saw a row of black shadows dozens of meters ahead.

The shadow stretched from east to west, for a mile or two.

There was a faint stench in the air, which made people want to vomit when they smelled it.

At the same time, Wu Song heard a faint voice.

The sailor next to him said tremblingly, "Brother Wu Song, what should we do now?"

"Keep closer, take up arms, and be ready to meet the enemy. Wu Song frowned, and turned into a Yuanli long sword in his hand.

The other sailors continued to swing their oars towards the huge black shadow in front of them.

As they got closer, the stench in the air grew stronger.

The voice that Wu Song heard was getting louder and louder, it was a rustling sound, like the whispering of a ghost.

The voice was everywhere, like a fine net, surrounding Wu Song and his party.

Suddenly, Wu Song heard a sound of water. It was the sound of something swimming in the water, whatever it was, it was approaching.

Wu Song issued a warning, "Everyone, pay attention, there is an enemy approaching. ”

At that moment, one of the sailors let out a terrible cry, plopped, and fell into the water.

He struggled in the water for a moment, then sank into the water.

Then, a cracking sound sounded from the back of Wu Song's head. Wu Song's head flashed, and the long sword in the water slashed through an arc, slashing at the attacking thing.

A piece of something was severed by the sword and fell into the cabin.

At the same time, in the darkness, there was a cry of pain.

Wu Song picked up the thing with his long sword, it was a piece of tongue, and there were flesh thorns on the tip of the tongue, which should be some kind of demon beast.

"It's a demon beast," Wu Song said to the other sailors, "There are demon beasts around." ”

As soon as Wu Song's words fell, countless green lights lit up in the darkness around him. Those green lights came from the eyes of the demon beasts, and as far as the eye could see, within a mile or two of the vicinity, there was all green light.

Then, those green lights moved, and they pounced on Wu Song and the others.

Now, Wu Song couldn't care about anything else, and launched the Phoenix Ming Jue, spewing out a stream of flames from his mouth and sweeping towards the surrounding demon beasts.

"Let's go!" Wu Song ordered loudly.

The other sailors shook their oars desperately, and the boat flew off into the distance.

Those demon beasts were swept away by Wu Song's flames, and they all screamed and fled to the side.

But more demon beasts dived into the water and swam towards Wu Song.

A monster climbed onto the boat, took advantage of the unpreparedness of a sailor, bit him by the neck, and dragged him into the water.

The surface of the water seemed to be boiling, and the dense demon beasts surrounded the boat that Wu Song and the others were on.

Wu Song spread his flame wings, "You catch me, I'll take you out of here." ”

The remaining three sailors grabbed Wu Song, who flapped his flame wings and flew into the air.

A monster climbed aboard the boat, leaped hard, and bit the left leg of one of the sailors.

The sailor kicked the monster with all his might, but the monster seemed to have taken root, and it bit firmly and did not let go.

Wu Song took them back to Wang Gong's ship, and after landing on the deck, Wu Song turned into a Yuanli long sword in his hand, and stabbed into the body of the demon beast with a lightning strike.

The monster struggled for a moment, and then died.

The monster was the size of a man, but it didn't have much flesh on it, like a skeleton.

Wang Gong led people to surround the demon beasts, Wu Song wiped the seawater on his face, and said, "There are demon beasts in front, we must not go."

Is there any other way to detour here?"

Wang Gong pondered for a moment, "It should be possible to detour, but this is the first time we have come here, and the road is unfamiliar." You can't observe the sea at night, and if you go in the wrong direction, it's not good, and you have to wait until dawn to go. ”

After dawn, Wang Gong ordered the fleet to move on.

They circled a few miles to the west, past the reefs.

In the daytime, when they passed the reef, they realized that it was not a reef, but the corpse of a huge monster.

The corpse had decomposed, and in some places Sensen's bones had been exposed.

Wu Song came here last night and smelled the smell of decay because of this.

On this huge corpse, there were groups of demon beasts, even if they attacked Wu Song last night.

The previous two groups of scouts were also killed by them. This monster can attack enemies with its tongue, and at the tip of the tongue there is a thin bone spur with a rare poison on it, and the throat is sealed with blood.

Last night, when Wu Song inspected the corpses of those scouts, he did not find a small wound left by bone spurs, and the rare poison was not found for a while.

Wang Gong's fleet passed by the small island of corpses two miles apart.

Those demon beasts above should have some problems with their eyesight and can't look far, so they didn't come to pursue the fleet.

Wang Gong stood on the side of the ship, looking at the huge corpse, and fell into deep thought.

Wu Song walked to his side, "Such a huge demon beast can't have died naturally. What is it supposed to be killed by, the question is, what can kill it?"

Wang Gong's brows furrowed, and his left index finger tapped on the railing, "Judging from the direction of the sea, it floated from our front." ”

"Ha," Wu Song let out a dry laugh, "then we won't be bored soon." ”

For the next two days, the fleet was not in any danger.

Two days later, at dusk, according to Wang Gong's calculations, they should have arrived at the blackened sea area on the ocean note.

On the ocean note, the blackened sea area is only the size of a copper coin, but according to the actual proportion, that sea area is enough to be the size of the square sea in front of the sea.

Wu Song looked around, there was no wind and waves on the sea, the sky was clear, the sun was setting, and it was a tranquil scenery.

Wang Gong took a nautical chart and stood on the deck, looking at the nautical chart and looking around.

Wu Song glanced at the chart, and then looked at Wang Gong, "Are you the same as I thought, is this place too calm, not like what a treasure place should be, we won't deviate from the goal." ”

Wang Gong touched his chin with one hand and muttered, "It shouldn't have deviated from the course, maybe this area is like this." ”

"Then what are we going to do next?" Wu Song said casually.

"The ocean has been smeared on this area, and there are no other charts about it, so we have to figure it out on our own. Wang Gong showed a helpless expression.
