Chapter 1064: Accompanying Guards
Chen Fan rested in the cabin for a few hours, woke up from sleep, and heard someone knocking on the door, so he quickly got up and opened the door, and saw Hai Li holding a bag in his hand, standing outside the cabin door very excitedly.
"Come in, please." Chen Fan took the initiative to turn sideways and invited Hai Li into the house.
Hai Li walked into the cabin, first said hello to the leopard girl on the side, and then handed the bag in his hand to Chen Fan, his tone was very excited,
"Brother Chen, according to your instructions, our people really unearthed a lot of gray crystals below, in addition to those gray crystals, they also excavated some white crystals of greater value, I discussed with Sun Lao, since you are not willing to accept our golden shells, we will give you the excavated white crystals, and compensate at that time."
After saying that, Hai Li put the bag on the table without hesitation.
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the leopard girl with a smile, and then nodded with a faint smile, "Since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful, by the way, have you and Sun Lao discussed the next itinerary?" Which route are we going to go from? ”
In fact, Chen Fan's main concern was always how to return to the Southern Regions as soon as possible, and as for some sea mines, it was not within his scope of consideration.
Hai Li didn't rush to answer, but lowered his head and groaned, "That's the case, when we salvaged these sea mines just now, I discussed it with Sun Lao, what Sun Lao means is that since there are gray crystals in the vicinity, then maybe there will be better quality white crystals or blue crystals ahead, so we plan to continue to set off along this death route." ”
Speaking of this, Hai Li's face became cautious, "However, there are many dangers in the death route, and it is not just talking, so in the future, there may be more times when we need to rely on Brother Chen's action, of course, we will not let Brother Chen make a move in vain, if there is really almost more valuable sea mines excavated, we will pay a certain amount of remuneration......"
After speaking, Hai Li looked at Chen Fan with an eager face, waiting for his response.
In the previous battle, Chen Fan had already exposed his level of combat power, although Hai Li could not confirm how strong Chen Fan was, but just because Chen Fan could easily kill the blue octopus sea monster, his combat power would definitely not be lower than the fifth level.
Therefore, Hai Li's attitude towards Chen Fan changed quickly, from being polite in the past to being mixed with a hint of awe.
Facing Hai Li's polite gesture, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "Brother Hai Li doesn't need to be so polite, but wherever it is useful, just give an order." ”
The farther a person goes, the more humble he will be, and Chen Fan is one of them.
When his strength was not enough to ensure survival, Chen Fan was like a hedgehog with long thorns, and it was difficult for any stranger to get too close to him, let alone gain Chen Fan's trust.
However, after having strong combat power, Chen Fan has become a very amiable person, this is because he is already full of confidence in his heart.
Seeing Chen Fanken nodding, Hai Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of a stone in his heart, and then invited Chen Fan to walk on the deck with him.
Chen Fan happily agreed, and at this time, the leopard girl suddenly jumped out, walked behind Chen Fan and said, "It's too boring for me to stay alone in the cabin, let me go up with you this time." ”
Chen Fan did not object, and Hai Li hurriedly smiled, "Naturally." ”
Re-boarded overtime, by this time the cargo ship had pulled anchor again and set sail, and soon sailed into the sea shrouded in thick fog.
It is worthy of the rumored "death route" that everyone talks about the tiger's color change, and when the cargo ship sailed into this route, Chen Fan immediately sensed that the atmosphere in this sea area was different.
The environment in the Rakshasa Sea is already very dangerous, and after entering the death course, this unsettling feeling is especially strong.
The miasma of fog can be seen everywhere in the sight, and there is a faint poisonous gas under the miasma, including the entire water area, which is also lifeless, looking extremely strange and gloomy.
If it were on the Blue Star, there would be no way to sail in such a sea area at all.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger during the two-day voyage, and the people on board were very familiar with the route, and in the face of most unexpected situations, these people had sufficient ability to deal with them, so the journey was quite frightening.
It wasn't until the third day of the voyage that the fleet suffered its first accident.
In the waters ahead, for some unknown reason, a large number of sea creatures appeared, and began to frantically storm the entire cargo ship.
And the people who were attacked also immediately took countermeasures, and the figures running back and forth could be seen everywhere on the cargo ship, and Chen Fan, who was sitting quietly on the deck, also heard Chu Tian's nervous voice,
"Everyone, pay attention, there is a sea beast attacking, everyone hurry up and organize defense!"
Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Chen Fan naturally did not remain idle, and immediately jumped up from the deck, quickly found Chu Tian, who was in the process of personnel deployment, and asked him what was going on in front of him.
In the past two days, it is not that the cargo ship has not been attacked by sea creatures, but each time it was easily repelled by the escort team on the cargo ship, Chen Fan saw Chu Tian show such a nervous expression for the first time.
Chu Tian hurriedly pointed to the place where the tide was rolling in front of him, "It's the long-snouted swordfish, we must not let these guys get close to our cabin, otherwise the entire cargo ship will sink." ”
"So serious?" Chen Fan paused for a moment, paused to look into the distance, and stared at the turbid sea area in front of him.
The first thing that appeared in his sight were some strange fish with a body length of nearly two meters, this strange fish was about the size of an ordinary person, with silver scales distributed around it, and it didn't look special.
The only thing that makes people feel abrupt is the protruding "long snout" of these monsters' mouths, which is in the shape of a cylindrical triangular pointed fork, which occupies almost half of the body length.
Chu Tian explained to Chen Fan, "The attack power of the long-nosed swordfish is not strong, but their snouting power is extremely destructive, enough to smash the bottom silo below, once the bottom silo is breached, our ship will seep water." ”
"Is there a way to dispel them?" Chen Fan frowned and asked quickly.
"If it's an ordinary school of fish, you only need to use sound waves to scare it away, but I don't know how it will happen today, the scale of these long-nosed swordfish is much larger than before, and some common means are ineffective, so it seems that they can only be driven away by going into the water!" Chu Tian quickly explained.
"Okay, then let me go down and try it!"
Chen Fan didn't say a word, and as soon as the words fell, the whole person had already swept up from the sail and quickly pounced on the water not far away.
In fact, there is no need to bother Chen Fan to come forward in person with a fish school of this size, but he has been idle on the ship for too long, and in the past few days, Hai Li has been entertaining himself with delicious food and drink, if he can't contribute to the fleet, even Chen Fan himself feels embarrassed.
At the same time as his body took off, Chen Fan had already stretched out the battle wings behind him, hovering directly on the surface of the water, and observed the fish under the water at close range, and at the same time, the irritable fish under the surface of the water also jumped out of the sea level and frantically attacked Chen Fan in the air.
