Chapter 62: The Setting Moon Encounters Strange Rocks on the Road
After three days of rest, the long oars on the warship were finally repaired, the various parts of the warship were reinforced, and the bodies of Gu Bo and Zhao Du were almost recovered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info They still have one of the most important tasks left unfinished, and that is to weave a giant fishing net!
This is certainly not an ordinary fishing net, but a fishing net that can catch sea monsters. The silk thread of the fishing net is made of silk and hemp rope, and is embedded with crystals and a little obsidian, and the only one who can weave this kind of fishing net is the Siran witch. In order to make up for these raw materials, everyone searched almost all the pots and pots in Xijia Village, and they were barely enough. Fortunately, Mona can still try her best to make a little silk with her spiritual power, but her silk greatly enhances the toughness of the fishing net, and can even make the fishing net expand several times without breaking, which makes everyone overjoyed.
Xiyue and Ding Xiaoyu became Si Ran's helpers and gradually learned this craft. Shangguan Tong'er and Cheng Susu mainly took care of and continued to observe Gu Bo and Zhao Du's injuries, and their medical skills were slowly improving. Gu Bo, who had recovered his strength, returned to the position of captain, and the crew of the warship began to perform their duties according to Gu Bo's requirements, and the entire warship operated in an orderly manner.
Duoduo and Shao were undoubtedly the busiest on the entire ship, for they possessed the craftsmanship of the dwarven clan. They had to help Si Ran make spinning wheels, repair and strengthen warships, and make wooden frames to support fishing nets. Fortunately, there is still a lot of wood left over to build the castle on Tadpole Island, which is completely sufficient.
After another day and a night, the net was finally woven, five feet long and three feet wide. It is a little small against the huge sea monster, but its good toughness makes up for it.
The great thing about this fishing net is that it can be finely controlled with mana, because the wire net contains a good medium of transmission - Mona's spiritual power silk!
The curious Xiyue, taking advantage of the gap between the Si Ran witch leaving, tried to inject her spiritual power into this fishing net, and the fishing net actually emitted a burst of green light!
"It's fun!" Ding Xiaoyu next to him sighed, "However, it would be nice if my parents were here too......"
Xiyue saw Ding Xiaoyu's gloomy sadness, and hurriedly comforted; "This time, we will go to your parents, as well as our folks in Xijia Village; However, we must first try to catch a sea monster and use it to find them! ”
Ding Xiaoyu nodded.
It was another busy day, and as soon as the day dawned, the ships were moving. Looking at the uninhabited Xijia Village and the desolate Tadpole Island full of wrecked ships and dry castles, Xiyue couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, just one winter, Xijia Village has become so withered!
The fierce northwest wind made the sails of the warship completely puff up, and the warship rushed along the Qinglong River at full speed towards the sea city, and all the crew members were in position and on high alert.
In spring, the Qinglong River is glowing with green scales, like a jade dragon lying across the vast land of the Crystal Empire. The space between the huge bows and arrows on the deck was filled with all kinds of wood and tools, and the dwarves were still busy making all kinds of practical tools, such as crossbows and silver arrows stained with garlic.
Xiyue, Ding Xiaoyu and Shangguan Tong'er stood at the bow of the boat, but they had no intention of enjoying the scenery on both sides of the strait. At this time, the captain Gu Bo, Si Ran and Zhao Du were in the captain's room, nervously discussing the plan to rescue the villagers of Xijia Village, including Ding Xiaoyu's parents.
"Xiaoyu, Tong'er, Captain and Si Ran, it seems that they don't want us to participate in the rescue plan!" Xiyue said dejectedly, "They asked you to protect me well on the ship, I'm such a big person, what is there to protect?" ”
"Xiyue, we have known for a long time, there is nothing strange about it, after all, you are a member of the creation clan, and you are a thorn in the side of those bad people!" Ding Xiaoyu also sighed, "Don't mention these unhappy things, what about those dogs?" ”
"It's all arranged by Gu Bo to the lowest warehouse, where there are delicious food, saying that don't let the dogs hang around on the deck, so as to save the smell of dog urine everywhere! Hehe, let's train them as soon as possible! Shangguan Tong'er said as he looked at the cloudy sky, "It looks like it's going to rain!" ”
"Three young ladies, but come and try our masterpiece?" Duoduo shouted, "Try my crossbow and arrow!" ”
The meeting in the captain's room seemed to be over, and Si Ran and Zhao both went back to their cabins, preoccupied.
Gubo ordered the ships to sail along the left bank, because the captain Gubo remembered that there was an abandoned dock not far away, so he decided to go and take a look, and the ships were short of buckets of water, which might be found in the nearby deserted village.
"By the way, where did Sister Mona go?" Yuzuki asked while admiring Duoduo's crossbow and arrows.
"You should rest in your own cabin!"
"Sister Mona has been so tired lately, and she has provided us with so much magic silk!" Shangguan Tong'er said, her eyes still looking at the sky from time to time - sure enough, as she said, the light rain began to trickle, and the wind stopped with the rain.
"Cover the crossbow bolts and these materials!" Sunset moon reminder.
So the five men helped the sailors to cover the deck with oilskin paper that was afraid of rain.
"Put away the sails and dock!" Gu Bo came to the deck and continued to order, "You three girls go back to the cabin quickly, Siran Witch has something to look for you!" ”
"Okay, let's cover these materials and go!"
Si Ran's cabin was on the second floor below deck, just across from the setting moon. Gubo gave each girl a separate cabin, and all of them were concentrated in the back half of the second deck. There was no objection to such an arrangement, because the number of people on the ships was still very small. But Captain Gubo had said that if there were more crew members on board, the girl might have to squeeze in.
Si Ran's cabin was large enough for the girls to stand up, and Si Ran sat on the edge of her bed, looking at the girls in front of her kindly.
"That's right! Even Mona and Duoduo and Shao called over! Si Ran knew very well in her heart that more, less, and Mona had become an indispensable presence on their ship.
Mona used her spiritual power to generate a large amount of silk, but her body still hasn't fully recovered. Si Ran arranged for Xiyue and Ding Xiaoyu to come over and let Mona lie on her bed.
"Children, since everyone has come here, we will be a family from now on!" Si Ran sat on the edge of the bed, holding Mona's cold hand.
"So, from now on we can only advance and retreat together!"
Hearing this, Xiyue felt Si Ran's strangeness.
"Don't we still have Gu Bo and Zhao Du?" Xiyue couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, they are also our family! …… However, the people in our room are going to get off the boat tonight and walk down the dry road! ”
"What?" Everyone immediately began to shout.
"Listen to me first!" Si Ran Witch motioned for everyone to calm down.
"This time it is our relatives who are rescued, and I want to go like everyone else, but we are weak, not to mention that what the other party hopes most is for an excellent child like you to send to the door! You don't know how cruel they are! ”
"The Dark Witch Doctor has been short of materials for human experimentation, so how can you just send it to your door? You must know that there are all kinds of signs that the three forces of the Dark Witch Doctor, the Dark Demon King, and the Sea Dead King have joined forces, and both humans, elves, and other races of good will face an unprecedented catastrophe! ”
The children were silent, their faces gloomy.
"Later, as soon as it gets dark, we will go ashore and leave on a rainy night!"
At that moment, the ship shook, as if it had hit something.
"Everyone, go to the deck!" Si Ran didn't have time to think about it, once there was a problem with the ship, go to the deck immediately, which is the basic means of escape.
Fortunately, after the boat shook a few times, it stabilized again. Everyone braved the rain to come to the deck and saw the scene on both sides of the ship, and they couldn't help but be stunned! - The corpses of hundreds of huge sea monsters are lying on the docks on the shore, blocking almost the entire surface of the river!
"What happened? This should be the Spice Town Docks, how can there be so many sea monster corpses? ”
Among the corpses, octopus sea monsters are the majority, and there are also some sea snakes. Everyone knows that those sea monster octopuses are all subordinates of the Sea Death King, but everyone has never seen the other sea snakes.
"These sea serpents should be the Kraken King's subordinates! It seems that the Dead King and the Siren King fought here! Captain Gu Bo, who was standing next to the ladder, said, "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and it seems that we have help!" ”
"Let's go as planned!" Standing behind Gu Bo, Si Ran suggested, "The girls and I will get off the boat first, but more, less, and Mona will also go with us!" ”
Gu Bo nodded, thinking of something, he said: "Since the Kraken King has intervened, it will be easier to deal with the Sea Death King, besides, we are just going to save people, not to fight hard!" …… In this way, Zhao Du and Tan Tu will also go with you, and the other two magic cars are useless on the ship, so you can take them with you! There are also those talking donkeys, and we don't dare to eat their donkey meat, so you might as well take them with you! ”
"It's fine, but if the opponent is tough and can't save anyone, you must find a way to leave first. We are waiting for you at the Dragon King Temple on the southern coast of Sea City! ”
Gu Boxian sent his crew to brave the rain to clean up the dead bodies of the sea monsters on the shore, and unloaded the fire-type magic car, the earth-type magic car, more than a dozen horses, and the talking donkeys in the cabin warehouse. The dogs are also heavily armed around the magic car, and they follow the orders of their owners to protect the magic car to the death! The girls went back to their cabins and packed their bags.
After Xiyue and Ding Xiaoyu packed up their salutes early, they came to Cheng Susu's cabin to help, and Shangguan Tong'er followed Si Ran and was busy taking care of the dogs. Cheng Susu has undoubtedly become the doctor of the team, so there are a lot of various medical supplies, and he will definitely not be able to clean it up by himself! Seeing Xiyue and Ding Xiaoyu coming to help, Cheng Susu was extremely happy.
"Su Su, do you miss Uncle Feng? …… Did I dream about him last night? Xiyue squatted at the door of Susu's cabin while packing, and asked Susu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed to pack her clothes. At this time, Ding Xiaoyu had already gone out to help Cheng Susu find some fabrics that could be wrapped into clothes.
"Hey, can you not want to? …… I don't know, is the shelter in Snake Mountain okay? Cheng Susu sighed and said.
"The Peacock King is supporting Uncle Feng Qi and them, I believe it will be fine!" Xiyue reassured.
Cheng Susu nodded.
Xiyue is also always worried about the safety of the shelter, after all, the power of the Dark Lord has infiltrated there, and even the terrifying elemental wind demon has appeared, which is a bad sign, but Xiyue still tries to keep herself strong and not leak her voice.
The time of separation still came, and the captain Gu Bo still did not feel at ease and instructed in every possible way: from here to the southwest sea, until the Dragon King Temple, if you can't wait for the war ship after seven days, immediately go south along the coast and go to the snake king!
As for the news of whether the Snake King rebelled, Si Ran and Captain Gu Bo did not think so, because the Snake King betrayed the imperial court, and he did not have any problems with Xijia Village, which had always remained neutral, on the contrary, the Snake King favored the exorcists from Xijia Village. Besides, the rebellion of the Snake King and the Tiger King is directly related to the deliberate suppression of the imperial court, especially the situation of the Lion King, which has always made the Snake King feel indignant. But the snake king had to be guarded against, and the "****" Zhao Du and Tantu decided to implement the beheading plan if necessary.
The rain kept falling, and after Gu Bo's warship left, Si Ran began to lead everyone to leave the Qinglong River and march in the direction of the Dragon King Temple on the southeast coast. In order to avoid encountering the eyes and ears of the Sea Dead King, Si Ran asked the team to walk along the country road.
Xiyue and Ding Xiaoyu rode horses wearing hats, and followed the team with difficulty, behind them were the donkeys led by ****, and the old donkey Xidong led a few donkeys to follow closely behind Zhao Du, and kept complaining about the bad weather. At this time, Tantu led the way in the front, and Duoduo and Shao excitedly drove two magic cars to follow behind.
"This is the legendary magic car! It's incredible! This car is amazing! Duoduo shouted excitedly.
"Control the horses well! What are you yelling about? "Shao Shao keeps reminding in the back.
Behind the magic car is a caravan of horses, Si Ran, Cheng Susu and Shangguan Tong'er sit in the caravan and take care of Mona carefully; The dogs are lined up on either side of the line, and they come and run from time to time, keeping an eye on their surroundings at all times.
Xiyue looked at Ding Xiaoyu, who still had some tear stains, and felt the need to comfort her, so she dismounted and persuaded Ding Xiaoyu to come with her to a huge catalpa tree to talk about her heart. But when she got under the tree, Xiyue didn't say anything more, but gently hugged Xiaoyu into her arms and gently comforted her. Xiyue could feel Ding Xiaoyu trembling and crying in her arms.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the bushes behind the catalpa trees. Xiyue vigilantly took out her short sword, and Ding Xiaoyu also quickly untied her long whip from her waist.
"Wang! Woof! Woof! ...... "dog" meteorite led the dogs to rush over, and surrounded Xiyue and Ding Xiaoyu in a circle to protect the two of them. After all, protecting the sunset moon is the highest priority.
The team also stopped because of the barking of the dogs, and Si Ran hurriedly got out of the car and came to investigate. Shangguan Tong'er also got out of the carriage and followed behind Si Ran.
"Wait! I'll go first! "Zhao Du has already rushed over.
So, Zhao Du held two woks in his hand and slowly moved towards the bushes behind the catalpa trees. He gently brushed the bushes with a wok, and a black boulder appeared, but the rustling did not stop.
The rain was still pouring down, and the surface of the black stone was as smooth as a mirror due to the rain.
Suddenly, the surface of the black stone suddenly became uneven, like a wrinkled black silk cloth. This made Zhao Du take a step back vigilantly, and he couldn't help but look back at Si Ran, but Si Ran also shook his head, saying that he had never seen it before.
"It's the Immortal Pregnancy Stone!" Shangguan Tong'er behind Si Ran suddenly spoke, "Only the immortal realm can have a divine stone!" It seems that something has been conceived in the stone! ”
"Tong'er, how do you know?" Ding Xiaoyu interjected.
"Don't forget, I've lived for hundreds of years! Seen much more than you! Shangguan Tong'er said proudly.
"Uh, it's grandma-level!"
"Die, you are!"
After saying that, the two immediately joked and seemed to be fighting.
"Oops, Xiaoyu! Let Tong'er finish talking about the Immortal Pregnancy Stone first!" Xiyue hurriedly persuaded the two of them.
As soon as Xiyue finished speaking, the black stone immediately hung more than three feet above the ground and began to move! The giant claws of crocodile-like limbs slowly move through the bushes and begin to flee.
"It seems that more than half of this immortal pregnancy stone has hatched!" Shangguan Tong'er said excitedly, "We can't let him run away, let's catch up with him!" As soon as you open your eyes, the first person you see will be his master! ”
Shangguan Tong'er was the first to follow after speaking, and Zhao Du was afraid that she would make a mistake, so he followed closely behind. It was a huge, scaly tail sweeping towards them.
"Be careful!" Yuzuki exclaimed. It turned out that the tail of the fairy pregnancy stone was hidden in the bushes!
However, the huge immortal pregnancy stone turned another corner, breaking through the trees and rushing towards the team's caravan, and at this time Mona and Cheng Susu were still inside!
"It's not good, Mona, Su Su is in danger!"
What's even worse is that at this time, Cheng Susu poked his head out of the back door curtain of the caravan, and Duoduo and Shao who were driving the magic car looked at a loss for a while.
Just as he was about to start, the boulder braked sharply and stopped, a slender head had poked out of the black stone, and small bright eyes were looking at Cheng Susu who was in shock.
"It turned out to be a mountain-piercing beast!" Shangguan Tong'er exclaimed......
