Chen Fan said, "So, we may need to wander in this sea area for a long time?" ”

Hai Li shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily, at present, I am discussing with the elders whether to sail the ship into the death route, if we can cross this death route, our trip can be shortened by at least half, so that it will not delay our delivery, but it is ......"

"But what?" Chen Fan heard that there was something in the other party's words, so he took the opportunity.

Hai Li suddenly stopped, looked at Chen Fan, and seemed a little speechless. Chen Fan asked, "Brother Hai Li might as well say it directly." ”

Hai Li hesitated, "The Rakshasa Sea is already full of dangers, especially the death route, which is shrouded in wind all year round, and ordinary chambers of commerce avoid it, but if something goes wrong, I am afraid it will be the result of the ship's destruction and death." ”

Chen Fan frowned and said, "Since it's so dangerous, why do you still plan to take that path?" ”

Hai Li said with a wry smile, "We will rely on the operation and maintenance of the sea, and we have already agreed with the employer on the time for the delivery of the goods, once the goods cannot be taken out within the time limit, it will inevitably affect the credibility of the entire Haihui, and the Haihui will hand over such an important errand to me, this is my first time to go to sea alone, if it is messed up, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with it after returning home." ”

Chen Fan thought for a moment, and then asked, "How long is this death route?" ”

"The Death Route, which stretches thousands of miles and has many forks in the road, no one can tell the exact course of its voyage, and we can only set off along the outermost shortcut, which if all goes well, it may take three to five days." ”

Chen Fan said, "I understand, what Brother Hai Li means, is that he hopes that our brother and sister will also join the camp of patrolling the sea, right?" ”

Hai Li got up with an embarrassed face and said, "This request is indeed a bit difficult for strong people, after all, the two of you are not from our Chamber of Commerce, but ......"

Without waiting for Hai Li to finish speaking, Chen Fan waved his hand and said, "No problem, since we are on your ship, my sister and I should also contribute." ”

"Thank you very much!" Hai Li was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly hugged his fist at Chen Fan and said, "We will leave early tomorrow morning, you should seize the time to rest and recuperate, and I will ask Captain Chutian to come to you tomorrow." ”

"Okay!"

After sending Hai Li away, Chen Fan immediately heard the leopard girl's complaint, "This guy really refuses to eat at all." ”

Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, "At present, everyone is sitting in the same boat, in case it is really out of the water, when the wind and water are cold, I am afraid that no one will want to run, and it is reasonable for him to make this request." ”

The leopard girl directly rolled her eyes, looked away and said, "If you want to go, I don't bother to work for others." ”

Chen Fan could only smile bitterly.

The next day, Chu Tian really knocked on the door very early and handed Chen Fan a set of HNA clothes, "Brother Chen Fan, I have you this time, change into team clothes first, and go to the deck with us to patrol." ”

Chen Fan did not shirk, quickly put on his clothes, and followed Chu Tian to the deck.

The scale of this freighter is really not small, there are many patrols in armor standing at the bow and stern, and most of the patrolmen's combat power is at the second and third levels, but the fourth-level combat power like Chutian is still relatively rare, and they basically belong to the upper echelons of the navigation team.

Chen Fan followed Chu Tian, inspected the entire cargo ship, and came to a cabin with a more chic set, met with Hai Li, who lived here, said some innocuous words, and was about to say goodbye and leave, but at this time, he heard a low horn sound in the direction of the "dragon head" of the cargo ship, Hai Li immediately got up, looked in the direction where the horn sound came, and said in surprise,

"I don't know what the people in front of me have discovered, this is a signal to summon us to the past."

Chen Fan said, "Do you want to go over and have a look together?" ”

Hai Li nodded, "Okay, let's go!" ”

Immediately, the three of them strode towards the "dragon head" position of the freighter, a large number of guards had already arrived here, Chen Fan saw that many guards were squatting on the edge of the deck, and someone was dragging a huge fishing net, as if they were salvaging something.

"What's wrong?" When Hai Li came to the bow of the ship, he immediately asked the guards.

An older guard leader hurriedly announced, "Young Sect Master, there seems to be an ironhead whale under the water, I asked my brothers to cast a net to try, and sure enough, I caught it!" ”

"Oh?" Hai Li was suddenly curious, and stepped forward and said, "Isn't the third-level sea beast of the ironhead whale always living only in the deep sea, why does it appear in such a place?" ”

"I don't know, I suggest picking it up first, I don't know what to do with Shaomen's idea?" The guard replied.

"Okay, you guys be careful, after all, it's a third-level sea beast, don't hurt anyone." Hai Li was very polite to his subordinates, and after first admonishing him, he laughed and sat on the side of the boat.

It was the first time for Chen Fan to "go to sea", and he didn't quite understand what kind of monster the ironhead whale was, so he stepped forward curiously and asked, "Brother Hai Li, why do these guards salvage this sea beast?" ”

Hai Li explained with a smile, "Brother Chen doesn't know, the ironhead whale belongs to the sea beasts of the deep sea, it can be called a treasure all over the body, the fish fat can be used to refine Jiao oil, the fish skin is full of toughness, and it can be used to create water support, and there is the magic core of the ironhead whale, which has the effect of avoiding water, and the price is very high in the sea market, the carcass of an ironhead whale can be sold for a high price of hundreds of thousands of golden shells, and our shipping fleet will occasionally hunt ironhead whales to earn extra income." ”

Chen Fan nodded and didn't ask any more.

After about a few minutes, more than a dozen guards had already dragged the giant net up, and as the giant net was thrown onto the deck, a medium-sized sea beast with a body of more than five meters, covered in pitch black, and hard as steel, was also thrown on the deck.

With curiosity, Chen Fan took the initiative to go forward to take a look, and found that the size of the ironhead whale was not big, and the body structure was not far from that of the whale in the Blue Star World, but the skull part was much exaggerated, and a layer of black bones was wrapped on the outside, like real steel.

This sea beast had just been salvaged to the deck, but there was no sign of breathing, Chu Tian walked up to the ironhead whale and squatted down to check, and soon after that, he hurriedly walked towards Chen Fan's side, and let out a strange light sound from his mouth, "This guy seems to have died before he came out of the water, and there is no sign of any struggle." ”

Hai Li also looked curious, quickly stood up and said, "This is just a shallow sea, it stands to reason that the ironhead whale already belongs to a relatively powerful sea beast, what killed it?" ”

"I don't know." Chu Tian frowned, then turned back and pointed to the remains of the ironhead whale and said, "It seems that this guy should have just died, he should have been attacked under deep water and died after escaping to the surface, but there are no injuries on the surface of his body, so I can't see what kind of attack he received." ”

Hai Li also felt strange, but he didn't think about it deeply, after all, it is not uncommon for anything strange to happen in the sea, maybe this ironhead whale is just dying of old age.

Thinking of this, Hai Li asked people to directly drag the corpse of the sea beast away, no longer entangled in this topic.

But Chen Fan automatically jumped onto the sail of the ship, looked ahead for a long time, and then returned to the deck, pointed to a black sea not far in front and said, "What is ahead?" ”
