Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Ogre Fish
"You don't care. ”
The treatment went well, and with his previous experience in treating young boys, Kuroba was completely sure that these people would recover in a short time. Bai Shengye applied some healing potions to their wounds.
At noon, everyone had a simple meal in the fishermen's village and prepared to set off from the seaside. It took Chixin a long time to communicate with the villagers, and it took a lot of effort to find a small boat and dock it on the shore.
The hull of this boat is only twenty meters long, and the houseboat in the middle is also low and simple.
"It's the best boat we can find. "As long as you don't encounter powerful demons on the way, it's enough to cross this sea." ”
Everyone got on the boat, Bai Shengye placed the medicine box in the houseboat, and then took turns rowing with Hei Yu.
Fortunately, the road was calm, and a few days passed unconsciously. On this day, by the time we sailed into the evening, we could already see the boundary between the Crimson Sea and the Azure Sea ahead.
The night was falling, there were no stars due to the cloudy sky, there were no lights on the shore, and the surroundings were gradually getting dark and invisible.
The girls were huddled in the houseboat, drowsy from the rocking of the boat. The space in the houseboat was cramped, and several people could only sleep sitting and sleeping, shoulder to shoulder and knee to knees. I listened to the whirring wind and the waves on the water as I got through the windows of the houseboat.
There was no danger in the past few days, and coupled with the fatigue of sailing, everyone's vigilance was relaxed at this time.
Bai Shengye's big medicine box was lying in the middle like a table, Ling Xiao was lying on it with tears, saliva flowed all over the ground, and was woken up by Bai Shengye several times in disgust.
The warrior of the dragon clan held the giant sword in his heart, leaning against the door of the houseboat, closing his eyes and listening to the movement outside. Her experience taught her that as long as the ship did not sail out of the Red Sea, it could be attacked by demons at any time.
Suddenly, there was a violent shock in the hull of the ship, and there was a loud "clang" at the bottom of the boat. It was as if schools of large, sturdy fish were swimming under the boat.
Everyone woke up suddenly, and Chixin opened his eyes first, picked up the giant sword and rushed out. Then Black Feather and White Shengye followed.
"Wake up!" Chixin shouted from outside.
The fish rushed from one side, the impact became stronger and stronger, so that the whole hull of the ship tilted over, the violent shock made the central medicine box gradually slide to the side, the sleeping Ling Xiao's tearful jaw gradually left the medicine box, fell down violently, and rolled on the ground with the left and right swings of the hull before waking up.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Xiao patted his head with tears and got out of the curtain of the houseboat, several light elf girls wanted to get out of the houseboat, but they were stopped by Bai Shengye, he stood at the door of the houseboat, signaling that the girls didn't have to go out.
Standing on the shaky deck, he saw the wind and waves raging on the water around him, and a pair of ugly and spiky ogrefish jumped on the water, using their sharp dorsal fins to hit the hull of the ship again and again, trying to smash the boat and crash the waves on the deck.
Because of the darkness of the night, the people on board were unaware that the ship was heading into a huge, dark whirlpool on the edge of the Red Sea. At this time, their attention was more focused on the schools of fish around them.
"It's an ogre. Chixin said.
The ogre fish was extremely irritable for some reason, and again, the fish struck from both sides, and they crashed into the hull and bottom of the ship frantically, and the board of the ship made a loud cracking sound, "click, click", several streams of water poured in from the crack, and the ground of the houseboat soon leaked everywhere, and several light elf girls were so frightened that they lifted the corners of their skirts and hugged each other.
"Dare to sabotage our ship!"
Ling Xiaotear crossed his fingers and instantly unfolded the enchantment net, and a huge purple net spread along the bottom of the boat, spreading below the water, blocking the attack of the ogre.
Black Feather jumped up at the same time, his feet landed on the barrier net on the water's surface, and the trident staff in his hand stabbed at the fast-moving fish in the water again and again, plunging into their hard backs.
In order to avoid the enchantment net, the ogre fish jumped out of the water and crossed the fishing boat, and was slashed down by the giant sword in Chixin's hand, and blue blood soared.
"These demons are all from the Dongtu Sea. Chixin said.
"I didn't expect there to be demons in the sea. Black Feather said.
Faced with the attack, the ogre immediately turned back underwater, gathering together to ram the bottom of the ship, trying to sink the ship. Ling Xiao's tearful enchantment net could not withstand the collective attack of the fish, and it was difficult to support.
Unpredictable shocks poured into the bottom of the boat from the shadows, Bai Shengye returned to the houseboat, picked up the medicine box on the ground, the shaky and narrow cabin was already full of holes, and the water was rapidly pouring into the boat, spreading over the floor and the surface of his feet. The ship is sinking.
"Let me go out and help!"
Reimu ignored Bai Shengye's obstruction and rushed out of the boathouse.
A bow of light formed on the radiant wand of the god of flowers, and she drew the bow with a gesture, and one arrow after another flew out, slithering like meteors and gliding across the night sky, accurately hitting the ogrefish.
However, due to the lack of strength, each light arrow could not shoot through their thick scales and could not kill them. But the dense bolts of light still forced them back underwater.
Under the pitch-black bottom of the ship, the fierce impact of the ogre fish was not affected in the slightest. Suddenly, an ogre leaps out of the edge of the enchantment net, opening its fanged jaws and lunging at Reimu.
Reimu didn't have time to dodge and retreated in fright, and Black Feather dodged in front of her, holding the trident in her right hand and stabbing into the fish's mouth. The flying fish rushed forward with inertia, its sharp trident stabbing from head to tail, its fangs dying when it approached Black Feather's arm.
The three elven girls hurriedly scooped water in containers and poured out of the boat, and the web of Ling Xiao's tears became weaker and weaker, and finally shattered.
The ogre fish gathered around the ship, and one by one they opened their mouths and jumped out of the water, and the girl who poured water out of the boat was so frightened that she hurriedly withdrew her arms, and the container for scooping water fell overboard. The hull of the ship is still sinking.
"The ship is sinking!"
Ling Xiao said with tears.
Others also got out of the houseboat, and several people gathered on deck.
"What should I do......" Black Feather thought to himself, "I can't use dark magic, if the ship really sinks, we will all have to die at the bottom of the sea." ”
The water-soaked hull was tilting, one end was raised high, and the weight of the water made the ship sink at a faster rate.
Everyone looked around anxiously, but this was the center of the sea, far from the shores on either side. The icy water quickly reached her knees, and the three light elf girls hugged each other tightly, almost crying.
Bai Shengye felt helpless, he looked at a few girls distressedly, conjured up a cold ice staff, lightly touched the ground on the deck, and only said two words briefly.
"Frozen. ”
