Shi Xing and another sergeant lay on the side of the ship, not daring to move.

As soon as the matter of the wick was interrupted, they breathed a sigh of relief and settled their minds.

"How's it going, see what it's on?" The sergeant who gave the order left, and Yang Congyi turned around and asked.

Shi Xing didn't answer, the prison army was behind, and no matter how terrible the things under the ship were, they had to take a good look. If it was really that ghost, with many sergeants on his side, he would probably not die without help.

Thinking so, he cautiously stuck his head out of the side of the ship, and the spear in his hand poked out.

When I opened my eyes and looked under the boat, I saw that the sea was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything. If there is nothing, this may not be the answer that the prison army wants, and the others obviously hear the sound, and they don't believe it.

After glaring hard, and then taking a closer look, he saw that the black shadows on the sea were surging, tumbling and jumping, all of them were chasing the warship, and countless black shadows were scrambling to jump to the warship.

Seeing this scene, Shi Xing panicked in his heart, whether it was a water ghost or not, there were too many of them. The black shadow following in the water, what the hell it is, he hasn't seen it clearly, and it's not good to talk back to the prison guard.

In order to see more clearly, he mustered up his courage and leaned out half a foot, his head and face down closer to the surface of the sea, grasping the side of the ship in one hand and the spear in the other.

After glaring again, he saw a large mouth leaping straight at him, and in a panic, his head and face were raised, and his body was about to retreat, but it was still too late.

Shi Xing only felt a chill on his face, and with a wave of his spear in panic, he grabbed the arm on the side of the ship and pushed it hard, and his body fell backwards on the deck.

Everyone was taken aback by his sudden downward movement, the situation was unknown, and in panic, they retreated one after another.

Shi Xing lay on the deck, only feeling dizzy, difficult to breathe, without any strength in his body, unable to move, as if he was about to die.

My life has just begun, and I just want to change my life, is this about to end? I'm not reconciled!

He tried to wake up, but his consciousness gradually blurred, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing Shi Xing lying on the deck, motionless, another sergeant on the side of the ship suddenly sat down on the deck, his eyes glazed, and his mouth said, "Water ghost...... It must be a water ghost...... The water ghost is on the body......"

Shi Xing died suddenly on the deck, and then heard the sergeant who was investigating with him say this, all the sergeants were terrified, how powerful and difficult the water ghost was, they had already heard of it, and now when they encountered the water ghost, they could only flee for their lives.

The sergeant on deck was about to burrow into the cabin. Go back and hide, close the door, and maybe save a life!

"Stand!" Yang Congyi roared.

Then he said: "What's the panic, I'm still here, what are you running!" Stand up for me! ”

After speaking, Yang Congyi stepped forward and stretched out his hand to probe the sergeant lying on the ground with a snort, which was already out of breath. I saw that he did not hesitate, tore off the armor worn by the sergeant a few times, and put his palms on the sergeant's chest to press.

After a few breaths, under the frightened and bewildered gaze of the sergeant on deck, the sergeant coughed, opened his eyes, and came back to life.

The sergeants stared wide-eyed, looking at everything in front of them, incredulous, but they had to believe it, and they looked at each other in shock.

I saw that after lying down for a few breaths, he turned over and sat up, and said, "Where am I?" ”

Yang Congyi patted him on the shoulder and said loudly, "You are on the warship." Get up, what did you just see? ”

Shi Xing was startled, his mind suddenly sobered up, and when he looked back, everyone was there, and then he knew that he was still alive, and he suddenly felt indescribable excitement and joy.

But then he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been attacked by that thing outside the boat just now, and immediately raised his hand to touch his face, and after touching it carefully, he found that there was no wound on his face, as if there were only some traces of water, so he was relieved.

But when I thought of the monster that pounced on me with its mouth wide open, I felt a chill in my heart.

After getting up and calming down for a while, he organized his language and replied: "My lord, it's too dark, and my subordinates don't see what is underwater, but they have a bloody mouth, and they jump five feet high, and they are running densely with the warship, and they all want to jump to the boat." ”

Yang Congyi has never been out of the ocean, and he doesn't know what strange creatures are in the sea, but it is obvious that the things under the ship are not water ghosts, but these sergeants will not think so, out of fear of unknown things, what they are afraid of, the more they will think of these things as what they are.

Although Shi Xing didn't say that the things in the water were water ghosts, as soon as everyone heard that the things in the water were dense and bloody, their faces changed in an instant, and some people began to tremble, and they couldn't help but want to run.

If you can't go on like this, you have to find out what is under the ship, at least let them know that these things are not water ghosts. Otherwise, the sergeant will be in a mess, and he doesn't know what will happen to this warship, and what will be the fate of other seagoing ships.

"Don't panic. Wait for me to see what they are! Bring the spear! Yang Congyi gave an order.

He wanted to see for himself, what was the blame?

When the sergeant heard that the overseer was going to go up in person, he wanted to stop him from taking the risk, but he couldn't say anything like that.

Immediately, a sergeant took a spear more than five feet long and handed it to Yang Congyi.

Yang Congyi walked to the side of the boat with a spear in one hand, stretched out his head slightly to look under the boat, and saw that the boat was black and pressing, and some creatures were tumbling and tumbling, and from time to time creatures collided with the hull of the boat.

There was no doubt that these things were supposed to be fish, but some of them were too big, judging by the blurred vision, they were all three feet five feet long, and some were estimated to be six or seven or eight feet, and when you looked up, you could indeed faintly see that they had a large mouth.

Yang Congyi raised his hand, and then poked down suddenly, and then a huge force came from the head of the spear, and between the tremors, the strange force seemed to break free from the spear.

With a soft snort, Yang Congyi pulled out the spear with one hand and quickly returned to the deck.

"Palm Lamp!" At the sound of the order, someone immediately ran quickly into the cabin.

The spears were laid horizontally on the deck, and the sergeants already knew what the Overseer had just done, apparently striking the water spirits under the ship hard. The overseer was so bold, the sergeants looked at each other, and admired each other very much, but they didn't dare to speak, let alone what to look at?

Moments later, a lantern with a light light appeared on the deck.

"Look at the tip of the gun." As soon as the light appeared, Yang Congyi immediately commanded.

Under the panicked and curious gaze of everyone, the lantern slowly moved to the position where the tip of the spear was.

I saw that there were some red blood stains on the deck where the tip of the gun was located, and the head of the gun was a little red, and everyone could see it clearly.

"It's blood!"

"Yes, blood, water ghosts have no blood."

"There are no water ghosts under the boat. If it wasn't a water ghost, what would it be? ”

No matter how superstitious people are, they know that ghosts are dead things, and dead things do not shed blood. As soon as you see the red blood, you can know that what is underwater is definitely not a ghost, and since it is not a ghost, then what is there to be afraid of!

"Give me the lanterns, I'll see what they are." Immediately, a brave sergeant volunteered to find out.

Yang Congyi nodded slightly, this was his purpose.

As long as there are no water ghosts under the boat, and the fear of ghosts and gods is dispelled, there is nothing to be afraid of. If they don't panic, the morale of the army will not be chaotic, and the matter of extinguishing the lights is a trivial matter.

The sergeant who took the lantern then walked to the side of the boat and peeked down with the lantern in his hand.

The crowd was behind him, nervously waiting for him to find out the good news.

Unexpectedly, the lights outside the ship suddenly dimmed, and the investigating sergeant screamed, strode back, and quickly moved away from the side of the ship.

When everyone saw that the lantern in his hand had gone, their faces suddenly changed.

"Fish essence...... There are a lot of fish essences in the sea! It's too big...... It's too big......." the sergeant retreated into the crowd, muttering to himself.

Yang Congyi didn't speak, he had seen it just now, and vaguely saw that the fish in the water were not small, and he really didn't know how big they were. In his impression, whales seemed to be rare off the coast of China, and if they weren't for whales, the fish under the boat wouldn't be much bigger.

"Fish essence? How big? A sergeant couldn't help but ask.

The crowd was more curious than frightened, eagerly awaiting his answer.

The sergeant gasped for a moment, waited for his mind to settle down, and then replied, "Several zhang long!" As soon as he raised his head, a mouthful of water sprayed up, and the lantern was extinguished. The sea is full of fish essence, dense, and I don't know how many there are. ”

"Don't talk nonsense. It's just a bigger fish, haven't you seen a big fish four or five feet long in Changguk? No matter how big these fish are today, they are still fish, and they are weird. Now that they're all up, stay on deck for the first time. Yang Congyi explained, and after stabilizing people's hearts, he let them stay on the deck.

Everyone was disgusted by eating fish, and when they heard that it was just a fish under the boat, the fear in their hearts instantly dissipated, and there was even a faint hatred.

When the sound of "knock knock" was heard outside the ship again, no one on board was afraid. They're just bigger fish, and they can knock over a warship more than 2,000 feet long?

Naturally, it is impossible for such a big ship to be overturned. Everyone stood on the deck, listening to the sound of "knock knock" crashing into the ship, and no longer felt anything.

It was still dark on the sea nearby, and there was not a single light on.

Although it was only a short time before the lights went out, as long as they didn't fall asleep, they should be able to find a new wick to replace it, which was enough time.

"Let's go back and see if our lanterns are hanging out." The sergeant who gave the order never returned, and after calculating the time, the lantern should be hung up.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sergeant in the cabin replied: "My lord, the lantern was extinguished as soon as it was hung out, and even two wicks were replaced, but they were doused with water as soon as they were hung out." My lord, do you want to continue to change the wick? ”

"Pause."

As soon as he heard that this was the case, Yang Congyi guessed that it was likely that this group of fish liked to chase light and spray water to play.

The position of the lantern is so high that as soon as the lantern is hung out, it can be sprayed by them, and the result will be the same as if you change it.

The sergeant was ordered to leave.

The lanterns of warships cannot be hung out, and the same must be true of seagoing ships. If the lanterns don't come on, the problem is serious!
