The wind stopped. The waves are also much smaller.

After the rain, the sea was covered with a layer of gray rain and mist. The thick layer of rain clouds in the sky was gradually dispersing. About five nautical miles to the left of the boat, Jeep Island was faintly visible.

Shi Tianji and Du Heng sat in the middle of the boat, each holding an oar in their hands and paddling vigorously in the water. The others and Hopper sat in other parts of the boat.

"Clairvoyant, Shunfeng Ear, how did you come to us from your country?" Shi Tianji asked while rowing.

"In Africa, life is very difficult. Later, a group of blue-eyed and yellow-haired foreigners came to our village, and they said they could take us outside to earn a lot of money. So we believed it and followed them into their ship.

"Na Cheng thinks that they are not so-called serious businessmen at all, but some human traffickers. They first took us to India to work as coolies, and later they took us to the south of the Ming Dynasty to sell.

"Shunfeng Er and I are thanks to meeting Commander Hua, and it was he who took us in so that we would not have to do hard labor for others."

"Yes, if it hadn't been for Commander Hua, I am afraid that Clairvoyant and I would have died of exhaustion from doing coolies. It can be said that Commander Hua is our savior. ”

"Don't say that, you two. The three of us were able to meet by chance and become good brothers who share weal and benement, which is a fate given by God. You two have helped me a lot. ”

"Commander Hua is a good man. Ever since Clairvoyant and I followed him, he never discriminated against us and treated us like brothers. ”

"In the past, when the two of us were forced to do hard labor by those blue-eyed foreigners, we had to be beaten and scolded by them. Every day is a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs. I used to think about suicide because I was persuaded not to do stupid things. Fortunately, I listened to him and didn't die. Otherwise, there would be no chance to meet a good person like Commander Hua. ”

"You two should follow Commander Hua well, maybe when this war is over, he will take you to Beijing City. When the time comes, let you have a good look at the prosperity of our Beijing city. Du Heng said to clairvoyance and shunfeng ear.

"Okay, we'll wait." Clairvoyant said.

"When the time comes, I will lead the two of you through the streets of Beijing, and everyone will stop and watch. When the time comes, I will introduce you two to them aloud, saying that although you two look like black coal, your teeth are white, and they are as white as ...... It's like white rice. At that time, as long as the two of you show your white teeth, it will surely attract a lot of curiosity. I can charge them for anyone who wants to see your white fangs up close. ”

"Lao Shi, you won't have to do anything else then. Every day, he led these two black brothers to stop on the street and collect money. Du Heng said.

"In that case, wouldn't Lao Shi be famous. You can collect a lot of money in a day. Don't forget to lend me some flowers when the time comes. Bau said.

"It's not your share. When the time comes, I will save the money and give my son a daughter-in-law. ”

"Brother Shi, you must have saved a lot of money." Ye Ruliu interjected.

"Where did I save some money. Those who fought all day long in the east and west did not have that time. ”

"Who said that? Don't forget, you got a lot of money from the innkeeper that time in Nanyuan. Shi Lang said.

"Don't mention it. When I mentioned it, I couldn't get angry. At that time, I made a lot of silver, but I paid off the debt to the guy called the iron kettle. I was so angry about this that I beat the iron kettle on the head. ”

"What iron kettle? Looks like there's a story here. Commander Shi, can you tell me about it? Du Heng didn't experience this, and when he heard everyone say this, he was immediately interested.

Shi Lang told the story of the time when the team encountered the iron kettle, and the iron kettle head was used as a guide to walk out of the snowy mountain.

"Okay, Lao Shi. Hit it right. For a person like the iron kettle, who is lazy and cheats, you have to teach him a good lesson. After listening to Shi Lang's story, Du Heng felt that the plot of Shi Tianji violently beating the iron kettle was very relieving.

"If it weren't for the commander by my side at that time, I would have had to beat him to the flesh.

”

"Yes. If you want me and Jumpy to be there, you have to let Jumpy scratch him a few times. Isn't it a brother? ”

Jumping raised his front paws very appropriately and made a few scratching movements, which made everyone laugh.

"There's a warship of the Wa Kingdom ahead!" Just as everyone was talking and laughing, the clairvoyant saw through the faint mist and found that on the sea about 200 meters ahead, a Japanese warship was sailing towards him.

"How many of them are there?" Shi Lang asked clairvoyant.

Clairvoyant looked at it carefully and said, "Nearly twenty people." ”

"Commander Shi, what should I do?" Hua Xianzu asked Shi Lang.

Before Shi Lang could speak, the Japanese soldiers on the Japanese boat in front of him spotted the oncoming boat and immediately shouted: "The ship in front will come over immediately and be inspected." ”

Although the team members could not understand the Chinese language, they could understand from the gestures of the other party that the other party ordered their ship to come over.

It seems that it is too late to dodge.

Shi Lang ordered in a low voice: "Commander Du, you and Clairvoyant and Shunfeng Ear have swooped under the water, and when we get closer, take the opportunity to destroy them." ”

Hearing Shi Lang's order, Du Heng, Clairvoyant and Shunfeng Er quietly descended from the side of the boat into the water with their respective weapons, dived underwater, and swam towards the Japanese ship. The rest of the ship was combat-ready.

Soon, the two ships were close together.

This is a small Japanese patrol boat.

"What for?" A leader of the Japanese soldiers on the Japanese ship with a spear shouted at Shi Lang and the others.

"We are local fishermen. Go out to sea to fish. Isn't this just about to rush back? Shi Lang wasn't sure if Du Heng and the three had already sneaked to the Japanese ship, so he had to delay time by replying.

"What the hell are you doing with monkeys and women on board?" The shouting Japanese soldier pointed a gun at Ye Ruliu and Jumping High and asked. It seemed that they didn't hear Shi Lang speak in the Ming language at all.

Ye Ruliu did not speak. Jumping and jumping reacted, only to see it jump up from the board of the ship, jump into the air and jump onto the patrol boat of the Japanese people, and then, jumping up and down among the Japanese soldiers, from time to time stretched out its claws, scratching the armpits of some Japanese soldiers.

The scratched Japanese soldiers couldn't help but itch, and they were all dodged left and right by jumping, grinning.

"Little monkey, it's so fun. Come on, come on, here. The soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom were amused by Hopping and Hopping, and they joined in the ranks of teasing Hopping and Hopping.

The Japanese soldiers relaxed their vigilance, and just as they were busy jumping and playing, they saw two black heads suddenly peeking out from the other side of the boat.

"There are water ghosts!" A Japanese soldier couldn't help but scream when he spotted the clairvoyance and the ears of the wind that were coming out of the water. But as soon as he finished speaking, he was hit in the throat by a short arrow shot from the water gun in the clairvoyant's hand.

At the same time, the water gun in Shunfeng'er's hand also fired a short arrow, shooting a Japanese soldier into the water.

Du Heng climbed the boat board with his hands, dragged the two Japanese soldiers into the water, and then used the knife in his hand to open the bow left and right, and at the same time cut the throats of the two Japanese soldiers who fell into the water.

"Up!" Shi Lang shouted, waved the embroidered spring knife in his hand and jumped into the air, splitting the head of a Japanese soldier in half the moment he landed on the enemy ship.

Ye Ruliu, Hua Xianzu, Shi Tianji and Ba Wu also showed their weapons, jumped onto the enemy ship, and slashed the enemy army.

The sudden attack caught the Japanese soldiers on board by surprise, and many of them had already been cut off on the board or thrown into the water before they could react.

Jumping also blinded two Japanese soldiers with its sharp claws during the battle.

The entire battle took less than ten minutes. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed. There were no casualties among the members of the team.

"So unbeaten! I haven't moved my hands and feet yet. Shi Tianji put away his hammers and looked at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the boat and said.

"This should be a patrol of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness is average." Ye Ruliu said.

"Everyone hurry back to our ship and leave this place at once. Clairvoyance, tailwind, both of you

Responsible for sinking enemy ships. Shi Lang ordered.

"Good. Yes, sir. Clairvoyant said yes, and then jumped into the water with Shunfeng Ear. The rest of the squad returned to their own boats.

The water gun in the hands of the clairvoyant and the tailwind ear is made of stainless steel, and the tip is extremely sharp. The two of them dived to the bottom of the boat, divided it by two, and then chiseled through the bottom of the ship with a sharp spear. The gushing sea water immediately filled the cabin. The ship slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Clairvoyant and Downwind Ear return to the ship after completing their mission. Everyone quickly rowed towards the Shadow Island not far away.

It didn't take long for the Isle of Shadows to be in sight.

Jeep Island doesn't seem to be at a high altitude, and the entire island is covered in lush trees and weeds. Flocks of seagulls hover around the island.

After the rain, the island is shrouded in fog and is extremely mysterious.

"Let's go up from the southwest of the island, which is closer to us and not easy to be spotted by the enemy navy from the north." Shi Lang said.

The boat slowly approached the shore.

The shore foundation, which is nearly two meters long, is covered with dense aquatic plants. Due to the steep shore foundations, small boats have to slowly move south along the shore to find an ideal landing spot.

"There's a culvert here." Clairvoyance was the first to spot a hole five meters in front of the boat's left.

When they got closer, they realized that it was a semi-circular hole with a diameter of about six meters.

"The shore foundation in front is getting higher and higher, why don't we go into the culvert and have a look?" Hua Xianzu glanced at the steep shore foundation in front of him and suggested.

"Good. Just do what Commander Hua said. Shi Lang said.

The boat turned off the bow and turned into the culvert. A group of bats clinging to the roof of the cave were alarmed and flew towards the boat in a hula la.

The team members bowed their heads one after another to avoid colliding with the oncoming bats. The swarm of bats sped over the top of the boat, scrambling to get out of the cave.

"My mother, why are there so many bats?" Shi Tianji sighed while rowing. His voice reverberated clearly within the culvert.

The boat slowly moved towards the cave.

The sea water in the culvert is gently rippling, deep and quiet.

After about four or five turns, the boat reached the end of the culvert. A bright light streamed down from the top of the culvert.

Everyone was surprised to find that at the top of the culvert, about two meters above the water surface inside the culvert, an irregular oval opening connected the culvert to the outside.

Everyone held their breath and listened quietly to the movement outside. Almost everyone can clearly hear the wind and birdsong outside the cave entrance.

"From here, we can land on the island." Ye Ruliu said.

"Then let's go up from here." Shi Lang said.

"Brother Bau, it's up to you." Shi Tianji used the oars to stabilize the hull of the boat, turned to Bau who was sitting at the stern of the boat, and said.

"Okay." Bau replied, stood up, pulled out his red gourd claw soul chasing rope from his body, and waved his arms. The unfolded soul chasing rope flew towards the entrance of the cave like a long silver snake.

With a crisp sound, the talons of the Soul Chaser firmly grasped the rock crevice above. Bau tied the rope around his waist, then pulled the soul rope in his hand, and climbed to the top of the cave with two or three "poof, poof, poof".

"It's a forest up there. I tied the rope to the tree, and you pulled the rope up. Bau put away the soul chasing rope and tied the rope around his waist to an ancient pine tree at the entrance of the cave.

After all the other team members boarded, Shi Lang held the food bag given by the owner of the boat in one hand and the rope of the boat in the other, and with the response of Ye Ruliu and others, he first sent the food bag to it, and then climbed to it himself.

"What about our ship?" Ye Ruliu asked everyone.

"Just keep it on a leash. In the future, if we go out of the island, we will go down from here. The boat is underneath, which is both hidden and protected from wind and rain. Shi Lang said.

"It's a great place to get to the island. Okay, let's take care of the scene and then go around the island. Hua Xianzu said.

In order to prevent the boat from being discovered, the boat rope was deliberately tied to the roots of the ancient pine trees, and the rope and the hole were covered with dead branches and leaves in the forest.
