I was a little confused: "How do you know you're back on the right track?" ”

The old wolf quickly beckoned to me: "Come out and see for yourself!" ”

So saying, he left the hatch and ran towards the bow of the boat, and I hurriedly put on a raincoat and followed.

When he came to the bow of the ship, he saw the old wolf pointing forward with his right hand raised, and in his left hand he was holding a compass with a case.

I leaned over and looked in the direction of his finger, and in front of the rainstorm obscured my vision, there was a faint black shadow, which was slender and long, like a stone tower towering over the sea.

But the rain curtain was so dense that I could only see a vague outline, and I couldn't tell what it was.

"Look, it's the largest sea tree in the sea market, and seeing it means it's on the right course!"

The old wolf's voice passed through the rain curtain and reached my ears.

I glanced at the black shadow in the rain again, but I still couldn't see what it looked like, and then I glanced at the compass in the old wolf's hand, and found that the pointer could already point normally, and the needle at this time happened to point to the north of the east piece.

There should be no problem in this direction, although I don't know exactly where the city is, but I know that it is deep in the eastern sea.

I waited at the bow for a while, until the ship was close enough to the dark shadow, and I saw that it was a pillar of the reef towering in the curtain of rain, estimated to be seven or eight stories high, and could be seen from a long distance.

But why did the old wolf call this thing a "tree", it was really strange.

However, in the realm of the inland sea, there are a lot of things that people can't understand and can't understand, and the number of them is simply incalculable, and I can't ask every time I don't understand something, think of some questions that don't hurt or itch, if you ask too much, it doesn't make sense, but it makes people disgusted.

I have to find a few logbooks that cover a wide range of contents to study, at least to figure out which sea areas can be entered, and which ones cannot be entered, don't be like this time, as soon as you get on the ship, your eyes are black, you don't understand anything, you can only catch blind.

I accompanied the old wolf to stand at the bow of the boat for a while, and then the wind and waves were strong, and I was afraid that it would rain in the cabin, so I hurried back to help Lu Shengcai block the door.

Because there are so many supplies in the cabin, it must be kept as dry as possible, and if the rain floods the contents, everyone will die of thirst and starvation when they return home.

When I returned to the cabin, Lu Shengcai was rushing towards the door with a bundle of felt, I didn't find that there was still felt on the boat before, and when I saw Lu Shengcai running all the way with it, I couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get it?" ”

Lu Shengcai didn't have much time to deal with me, but just responded casually: "I was crushed under the black box before, and I just discovered it." ”

I asked casually, and he replied casually, and everyone didn't take it seriously, but just hurriedly and quickly managed to block the hatch tightly.

It wasn't until the door hole was compacted that I suddenly felt as if I had overlooked some important information just now, and asked Lu Shengcai, "Where did you find it?" ”

Lu Shengcai was directly stunned by my question: "What did you find?" ”

"Felt."

"It's the bottom of the black box that Eros gave you, that box is really upside down, and it took me all my strength to pull out the felt."

As soon as he said this, I remembered that when we got on the boat, Eros did give us a black box, and when I asked her what was in the box, she also sold it, saying that I would know when I opened the box.

After leaving Hong Kong, there were a lot of situations, and my energy was involved in other things, and I actually forgot about this box.

Now that Lu Shengcai mentioned it again, I couldn't hold back the curiosity in my heart anymore and immediately opened the box.

Eros said that when I opened the box, I would know what was inside, but even if I opened the box, I couldn't help but what it was.

That's a box of ink-colored small particles, each particle is the size of a cigarette butt, I took out one and studied it, there is no special field on it, it feels hard, a bit like plastic, it doesn't fade, and there is a faint fishy smell.

Rubbing this thing with my fingers, I kept muttering in my heart, what the hell is this thing for, is it not a bait, what kind of bait is used to catch it, it is so chic?

Lu Shengcai also used the contents of the box as bait, he also grabbed a handful and looked at it carefully, and then said very curiously: "Could it be that the god of love is afraid that we will have nothing to eat at sea, so he specially prepared a home for us to catch fish?" It doesn't seem right to think about it, why does she only prepare bait, but not a fishing rod for us? ”

We couldn't figure out what this thing was for, so we waited until the rain subsided before we called my aunt into the cabin and asked her to help us with our palms.

Lilith leaned in front of the box to watch for a moment, then sighed, plunged her hand into the depths of the box, and found an iron box the size of a pencil case, as soon as the box came out, Lu Shengcai and I almost passed out, and even Yunsheng, who was sleeping in the cabin, was awakened.

The box was sealed, but it still couldn't stop the terrible smell coming from inside.

The smell was really, more disgusting than all the pills I had taken since I was a child, and it was only then that I knew that when the fishy smell was strong enough to a certain extent, it was not just a stench, it was simply a stench, and the smell was so exciting that the whole face was distorted and deformed.

Lilith hurriedly stuffed the box back into the depths of the particles, those black particles were a bit like activated charcoal, with a strong ability to absorb flavors, and in just an instant, the smell in the cabin was much smaller.

I waved my hand, fanned away the smell left in front of my nose, and asked my aunt, "What's in the box?" ”

When Lilith turned her head, she also had an expression that she almost couldn't hold back just now, and said with difficulty: "That's the bait of gangrene bugs, and in two days, it is estimated that it will come in handy." ”

"What's the use?"

"In two days, we will enter the Sea of Worms, which is full of insects, the most difficult of which is the gangrene worm, and ordinary people will rot and fester, and die in an extremely tragic way if they are stung by this thing. If we are really unfortunate enough to strayed into the hive, as long as we throw these bait into the water, the gangrene worms in the whole sea area will shift their target to the bait, and we can take this opportunity to break out of the hive. ”

Rotting and festering?

I pondered Lilith's words over and over again, and I always felt that those who were stung by bugs had symptoms very similar to those of corpse poison.

Maybe I can suppress gangrene in some other way.

After all, the taste of insect bait is so disgusting that I don't bother to use it unless I have to.
