The ship remained silent, and there was no reaction to the flag. Are all the people on board dead? Is this a ghost ship?

"Is it the fishing boat that was shipwrecked? Send a few people over to check it out. ”

After the flagship's command was issued, a small sampan was released from the patrol clipper. Four sailors paddled over to check. Although the ship seemed unthreatening, they were cautious. They were dressed in the best light leather armor for combat protection at sea, with round shields and short knives, and one sailor carried a bow.

The sampan landed on the fishing boat, and the sailors began to board.

Two people went up to the deck, and two stayed on the sampan to wait for pickup.

After looking around the deck, I didn't find any problems. The two sailors waved their flags and said they were ready to go to the cabin to check again. It's just routine. There is a high probability that no living person will be found in the cabin. After all, if someone is in distress, it is impossible to hear someone go up to the deck and not ask for help. Unless he is too weak to speak.

The two sailors went around the foredeck and went down to the cabin, and once they went in there was no news.

The two sailors on the sampan waited impatiently, so they divided one more to urge.

Not long after, suddenly bang! The hatch was slammed open. The sailor who had just gone down to urge him stumbled out, waving his hands desperately. It was as if he was shrouded in smoke, gray and unremarkable. The most terrifying thing is that his face is deflated, his skin and bones, and his flesh and blood are all dry.

The sailor waiting on the sampan was dumbfounded. He was dumbfounded for a few seconds before he reacted, and with a shout he wanted to paddle the sampan back. It's a pity it's too late. The gray mass sucked the sailor dry, and flew over to entangle him. I saw that he was struggling desperately on the sampan, but it was completely useless, and like the man just now, he quickly dried up.

After sucking the two sailors dry, the gray mist suddenly swelled and pounced on the fleet!

"Ignition!" Nan Xiao suddenly shouted, "Light the torch!" The gray mist is a lot of small insects, and when they come, they will be burned with fire! ”

Li Huamei asked suspiciously: "Do you see clearly?" ”

"I can see clearly, it's a small thing like a midge, a lot!"

With 20 points full of attributes, Nan Xiao had excellent eyesight and could clearly see what was happening on the sampan. The little black dot-like midges, though each one a little larger, were so fierce that they pounced on the sailor and began to suck it. It's useless to shoot, slap down and shoot a bunch of deaths, and then the back ones come up again, and I'm not afraid of you shooting at all. And these midges suck blood very hard, and maybe spit out some venom that melts muscles. The man who was sucked looked at the flesh on his face and disappeared, his high cheekbones pushing up a hollow face.

With a thud, the gray fog broke through the ship. Countless midges suddenly exploded, blocking the surface of the sea like clouds.

The sailors hurried around the deck, lit torches and stuck them on the side of the ship. This was supposed to be needed for the boat at night, but now it is lit up in the middle of the day. Will this keep the gray fog at bay? No one knows, they are all sweating.

In front of the mountain-like gray mist, the torches looked very weak. However, it was not possible to start a fire on the ship. It's all wooden boats, are they going to burn themselves?

You can't hide in the cabin. Vampire midges are so small that they can burrow into them with just a little crevice.

A large gray mist twisted into a vicious smile. "Hand over...... Saeki ...... "The buzzing of countless midges converged into a gloomy voice," handed over ...... Apricot Saeki ......"

The female ninja Rin rushed to the side of the boat with a solemn face: "This is the blood escape control midge technique in ninjutsu." On the other side must be the worm hidden among the eight generals of the ghost gate. ”

"How to crack it?"

Rin raised her right hand, and flower petals kept flying out of her sleeve, hovering over the entire fleet. "My Wind Escape Smoke Technique can delay a little time, but the only way to crack it is to kill the insects!"

What to do?

The voice of the gray mist face was even more urgent: "Hand over ...... Apricot Saeki ......"

Everyone looked at Nan Xiao, as if they wanted him to have an idea.

At this time, it is useless to be anxious, you must be patient and observe. Nan Xiao stared at the gray mist for a while, and suddenly pointed to a certain position and said, "Aim there, bed crossbow!" ”

The Jackdaw has bed crossbows on deck with rollers, which fire much faster and more accurately than artillery. An arrow swept through, instantly piercing through the gray mist.

The gray mist suddenly dispersed, and the sky danced wildly.

A short, lewd man screamed and fell from the gray mist, with a thick crossbow bolt stuck in his belly, from his navel to his waist. In this way, he was not dead, but he desperately pounced on the Jackdaw, waving a double-strand fork in his hand, and his face was hideous.

This guy is so disgusting, his whole body is densely filled with hollows, and he actually thinks of himself as a hive.

His target is Apricot Saeki.

Nan Xiao stopped in front of Saeki's little Lori in time, and with a flash of the knife, he cut off the two arms of the insect hide. The double-strand fork falls off the deck.

Worm took a breath and his chest swelled. “he～tui！” He suddenly snorted, and a silver light flew out of his throat. Nan Xiao erected the handle of the knife to block it, and it turned out to be an iron needle more than three inches long, which was inserted there brightly.

Nan Xiao was worried about what kind of strange trick he had come up with, so he simply kicked on the giant arrow and kicked the worm off the boat.

A blood flower rose on the surface of the sea, and a series of bubbles.

Nan Xiao picked up a short bow, filled it with arrows, and aimed at the blood on the sea.

Suddenly, a hideous insect jumped out of the sea! Countless midges soaked in the water and had nowhere to go, eating their master, sucking his skin and bones, like a skeleton.

Nan Xiao opened his bow and released the arrow, hitting the insect hiding in the face, and shot the monster into the sea again.

Saeki Xing said weakly: "Brother Ronin, am I dazzled, just now I seemed to see a shadow being pulled out of that monster and flying into your arms......"

Nan Xiao touched his head to kill: "Well, you are dazzled." ”

Apricot Saeki: "Woo ......" (+1 friendship)

The insects are dead, and the midges are gradually dispersed. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Has it passed? The more Nan Xiao thought about it, the more wrong it became. The route of the fleet is arbitrary, the sea is vast, why can the insects find our place?

Thinking about it, he set his eyes on an old sailor who was in charge of the lookout at the top of the mast.

The old sailor's original name is no longer known, only that there is a German character. Everyone calls him Ade, Uncle De, Lao De, and so on. He is also the old man of the Li family's sailors, and every time he goes to sea, he is responsible for looking at the sea and guiding the direction.

After thinking about it, he didn't immediately ask someone to take down Uncle De, but only said a few words to Li Huamei.

There are two things, and they will definitely come, he is very sure.
