"Where?" Hearing Chen Fan's words, the two of them both raised their heads and looked at the area that Chen Fan was pointing at at the same time.

Less than a few hundred feet away from the freighter, there are several huge islands and reefs, on which the bones are craggy, a large number of wreckage wrecks are scattered on the islands and reefs, and even under the water there are many wooden planks that have been broken by the waist, and the whole water area is shrouded in a more strange fog miasma, which looks eerie and dark, like a real death basin.

"That's the death route we're about to enter."

Seeing this, Hai Li's expression also became cold, and he slowly came to Chen Fan's side and said, "On this route, there are reefs and whirlpools everywhere, and there are many terrifying sea beasts lurking underwater, a few years ago we had a cargo ship sailing here, I don't know what attack it encountered, resulting in the mysterious disappearance of a whole ship's cargo and guards, so we must be careful next." ”

"Look, there are a few ironhead whale carcasses in front of you!"

Chu Tian quickly discovered something, and quickly pointed to the sea area in front of him, and was shocked.

"Huh?" Hai Li narrowed his gaze, instinctively walked towards the front, stopped to take a look, and sure enough, he found that there were many similar sea beast corpses floating in the sea area in front of him, adding up to no less than ten.

"Oh my God, there are so many ironhead whales, this time it's really happening!" The accompanying guards cheered excitedly, a ironhead whale is worth more than 100,000 golden shells, and the carcasses of ironhead whales here are far more than ten, if all these ironhead whales are salvaged ashore, for most ordinary guards, it is a lot of income.

"Everyone, be careful, and don't bother with the carcasses of those ironhead whales."

On the other hand, it was the cautious gaze of the higher-ups, Hai Li looked around, and suddenly whispered to Chu Tian beside him, "Ironhead whales rarely appear in groups, how can so many of their corpses appear at one time?" You take someone to the front to have a look! ”

"Yes!" Chu Tian immediately received the order, led a few guards who were not weak in breath to jump off the deck, rowed a few sailboats and sailed to the sea area in front.

Chen Fan didn't go into the water, but walked to Hai Li's side and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the sea area ahead?" ”

"It's not clear for the time being, so we can only stop the cargo ship first."

Hai Li's expression was extremely solemn, first waved his hand at Chen Fan, and then quickly issued an order, asking the accompanying guards to find a place where the boat could be moored first.

Soon, the ship headed for an island and stopped.

Chen Fan asked Hai Li, "This is not within the scope of the death route?" ”

Hai Li said, "Not yet, but we are very close to the death course, if we continue to sail forward for half an hour, we can completely enter the death course, but it seems that the wind ahead may not be too good." ”

The so-called "bad wind direction" is actually a metaphor, Chen Fan can naturally understand the meaning of Hai Li, and immediately squinted his eyes and cautiously observed the surroundings.

After waiting for about two hours, there was another sound of paddling in the dense fog, and soon, Chu Tian led the guards to jump back onto the deck, and Hai Li hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is the front?" ”

"Young master, the wind in front is quite stable, and we haven't noticed anything." Chu Tian quickly reported.

"Nothing, really?" Hai Li suddenly frowned, turned his gaze to the other guards, and several guards all said the same thing as Chu Tian, and they all said that the front was calm and there was nothing abnormal.

Hai Li frowned tightly and said, "If there is no danger ahead, what about the carcasses of these dozen ironhead whales?" Elder Sun, what do you think we should do now? ”

The "Old Sun" in Hai Li's mouth is an old man with a white beard, who is already very old, but he is in good spirits and has a high prestige in the caravan, and even Hai Li, who is the young master, is very respectful to him.

Elder Sun raised his eyes and looked into the distance, fixed his cloudy old eyes on the sea not far away, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered for a long time before he said, "Young Sect Master, judging from my experience, we had better retreat." ”

"Did Elder Sun find something?" Hai Li immediately asked.

"Not yet." Sun Lao shook his head, but pointed to the undulating corpses of sea beasts on the water surface and said, "But the corpses of these ironhead whales are already very revealing, if the front is really calm, how can so many sea beasts suddenly die?" ”

Hai Li frowned and said, "But...... If we take a detour, we may be delayed even more, but we may not be able to make the delivery in time. ”

Sun Lao stroked his beard and said, "If you can't catch up with the delivery time, at most it will only be a commission compensation, so you can risk the lives of so many brothers." ”

Hai Li was still hesitating, but Chu Tian frowned and said, "Old Sun, are you going to be too worried?" I just paddled to the front and checked, and there was nothing in front of me. ”

Sun Lao moved his lips, and was about to say something, but Hai Li also said, "Why don't we send someone over to inspect again?" ”

Seeing that Haili was not far away from giving up this route, Sun Lao had to whisper, "It's okay, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, and send someone to the water again to take a look." ”

Hai Li immediately ordered the people and decided to let them continue to go into the water to investigate the situation, this time even Chen Fan was named, a total of more than 30 guards jumped off the deck, divided into three teams, and walked to the water in front of them.

Chen Fan was assigned to Chu Tian's group, this team had the least manpower, but the overall strength was far stronger than the other two groups of guards, in addition to Chu Tian, there was another fourth-level combat force assigned to the small boat.

Soon, the three dinghys sailed to the center of the dense fog, Chu Tian stood in front of the bow of the dinghy, shifted his gaze a little carelessly, pouted from time to time and said, "Old Sun's courage is really getting smaller and smaller now, I don't understand, what is there to check in this place." ”

Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's not too cautious at all, after all, when you are really sailing at sea, the probability of encountering danger is much higher than that on land." ”

Chu Tian laughed loudly, waved his hand directly, and said, "Brother Chen, don't be nervous, I've been a member of the Chamber of Commerce for decades, and I've been out of so many ships, and I haven't encountered a single major danger, and the sea is not as exaggerated as you think." ”

It was good that he didn't say this, but almost as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden exclamation from the other dinghy, and then the whole dinghy spun without warning, almost shaking all the guards on the dinghy into the water.

"What's wrong?" Chen Fan immediately turned his gaze over, only to see that under the originally calm sea level, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of more than ten meters suddenly appeared, and the small boat happened to be swept into the center of the whirlpool, and the dozen or so guards on the ship were all swaying and shaking.
