Chapter 274: The Legend of the Mermaid
The dark clouds in the sky were getting heavier and heavier, and occasionally lightning crawled through the clouds, tearing them apart and raining down.
Qi Hufei carried Zuo Yiming and fled the battlefield with Zhang Qiyue and Fan Wuyi.
I don't know if the singer stopped singing, or if the sea breeze was too strong, and only the roar of the wind and waves could be heard above the sea, and there was no more singing of the kraken.
The time of this battle was actually very short, but Qi Hufei's physical strength and mana were almost exhausted.
Of all the battles he has ever experienced, none has left him so exhausted.
Fortunately, the monsters didn't chase after them, so they could fly a little easier and stick to the surface of the sea without flying too high.
After flying out of the land for about a few dozen miles, there were a few rays of light in front of them, flying towards them.
Gan Pengfei brought someone to meet them.
Gan Pengfei's reaction speed can no longer be said to be slow.
The location he was in was at least 150 miles away from the place of the incident, if it wasn't for the special signal flare, just with the sword qi and mana fluctuations on the island, it would be difficult to perceive, and even if it did, it would be difficult to judge what was happening.
No one could have imagined that with the strength of a complete seven-person squad, to sneak attack a small island of more than 20 sea monsters, they would encounter an ambush, and they didn't even have time to send a distress signal.
What made Gan Pengfei feel wrong was the sudden change in the song of the Siren.
From the heart-wrenching dolphin voice, he knew that the two teams sent out must be in danger.
He made a quick decision, led people to pounce, and after a while, he met Qi Hufei halfway through.
"What's going on?" Gan Pengfei looked at the unconscious Zuo Yiming and said urgently.
"We were ambushed, and the left stationmaster was wounded."
Qi Hufei briefly recounted their encounters.
"And the other three?" Gan Pengfei asked.
Qi Hufei was silent.
Gan Pengfei understood, his face was tense like a chopping board covered with knife lines.
"You take Stationmaster Zuo back, and I'll pick up Liu Yu."
With that, he led the men in the direction of Island 1.
Qi Feifei did not hesitate, handed over Zuo Yiming to Fan Wuyi, and took Zhang Qiyue to follow.
Although because of Zhu Taichun's matter, there is a quarrel between him and Liu Yu, and I am afraid that there will be no possibility of reconciliation from now on, but now is not the time to act rashly.
He doesn't care if Liu Yu dies or not, but Liu Yu still has six people with him, these are the new forces of the Honggu County Chenghuang Division, and one more saved is one.
Although Gan Pengfei is brave, when he encounters the interference of the magic sound of the Song of the Siren, there may not be any good way, even if he can resist it himself, what should he do with so many ordinary team members around him?
At present, the only one who can fight against the magic sound is "Xi Ti Ruo".
As soon as Qi Hufei caught up, two points of sword light flew in front of him, it was Liu Yu and one of his subordinates.
The two of them were in tatters, soaked in seawater, and looked very embarrassed.
Liu Yu saw Gan Pengfei and Qi Feifei standing beside Gan Pengfei, his face was very ugly.
"What's going on? What about the others? Gan Pengfei asked.
"There was an ambush around the island, and we were attacked by a swarm of electric eels. Others ......"
Liu Yu lowered his head.
Gan Pengfei said angrily: "Then how did you escape?" ”
"That Siren's song can confuse the mind, if it weren't for the sudden change in the rhythm of the song just now, I wouldn't have been able to escape."
"Seven people went, five died, as the leader of a team, you still have the face to come back alive?!"
Gan Pengfei was really angry.
The idea was Liu Yu, and Liu Yu can be regarded as an old captain who has followed him for many years, and has participated in many operations, so he shouldn't be so careless.
If Qi Hufei is young and has no experience in leading the team, it is easy to say that he has caused such a big loss, and he has brought four living people out.
Liu Yu was said by Gan Pengfei, his blood and qi surged, and his face turned into pig liver.
But Gan Pengfei was angry, and he couldn't slap Liu Yu to death at this time.
He could only glare at Liu Yu fiercely, suppress his anger, and hissed: "Close." ”
The crowd flew back to Lingxi Town in a group.
Gan Pengfei went to check Zuo Yiming's injuries first.
Zuo Yiming's life was not in danger, but he fainted in a moment's anger, but his eye that had been pecked by an osprey would definitely not be saved.
After giving Zuo Yiming the pill, Gan Pengfei called a meeting with everyone.
A total of eight people were lost in this operation, including seven members of the Public Security Department of the City God Division, plus Xu Lai, an inspector of the Qianlong Bay Maritime Patrol Station.
Qi Hufei and Liu Yu made detailed reports respectively, and the other three people who came back alive made some additions.
After listening, Gan Pengfei fell into deep thought.
Wen Liang sneered: "Yesterday, Captain Qi specially raised the question, is it possible that the monster is deliberately luring the enemy, who swore that it was impossible?" Who issued a military order there saying that this battle would be won? There are those who are greedy for merit themselves, but they do not take the lives of their subordinates seriously. Do you know how difficult it is for them to cultivate to this day, and how many elixirs they have taken? How much effort did it take? How many years have been consumed? ”
Wen Liang is not a stone, he is really angry.
He didn't care how many people Liu Yu and his team died, but the three people who followed Zuo Yiming were his subordinates.
In his eyes, these three people were killed by Liu Yu's momentary greed for merit.
Liu Yu's face was extremely ugly, but he couldn't refute it.
Gan Pengfei said: "Okay, now is not the time to be held accountable, let's talk about it, what should we do next?" ”
Wen Liang said: "I think it's better to report to the division, and send more people quickly." We lost eight people at once, and now we can't even set up the Tiangang Great Array. The number of youkai is still increasing, and if they attack in a big way at this time, it will be difficult for us to resist. ”
Gan Pengfei said: "I have already called Director Qin just now, and I will write a specific report in a while." ”
Qi Hufei said: "Actually, the most important thing is the song of the Siren. Those things on the island are obviously summoned by songs, and this song can charm people's minds, if you don't get rid of this thing, even if reinforcements come, it will still be very troublesome. ”
Gan Pengfei said: "This voice is indeed very strange. I've never heard of a kraken that can make such a seductive sound, it's already on the devil's side. ”
As soon as Qi Hufei heard the Demon Dao, his heart sank, and he thought of the Demon Fu.
But when you think about it, these two things seem impossible to connect.
Fan Wuyi suddenly said, "Is it possible that it is a mermaid?" I heard my master tell me that there is a kind of mermaid in the sea who is very good at singing, and often sings to confuse passing pedestrians and boats. ”
Qi Hufei remembered a certain Western myth he had heard in his previous life.
Isn't Lao Fan's master an old demon in Montenegro? This guy knows a lot!
Gan Pengfei shook his head and said, "You're talking about sharks, right?" Sharks are not real mermaids. They often confuse people at sea, but they can only confuse ordinary mortals, and they can never affect the minds of cultivators. Moreover, the merman clan is not a high-level sea clan, and it is impossible to summon so many krakens. ”
Qi Hufei couldn't help but ask, "What about the real mermaid?" ”
"The real mermaid ......" Gan Pengfei thought for a while, "The country of Diren, in the west of Jianmu, is a very old legend. The country of Diren has long disappeared, and there is naturally no way to talk about mermaids. It is said that there was once a pig in the Dragon Palace, as the Dragon King's pet, as for whether it is true or not, I don't know. ”
"In other words, there really is a mermaid race?" Qi Hufei said.
"Mermaids?" Gan Pengfei smiled unconsciously, "You really know how to choose a name, the legend is called mermaid, so you have to add the word 'beauty' in front of it." ”
Fan Wuyi said: "My master seems to have called it that. ”
Qi Hufei glanced at him, and couldn't help but be a little more curious about the old demon of Black Mountain.
