Chapter 423: Finally News
I interjected to interrupt Monceau: "What does it mean to not exist?" ”
Menceau was stunned: "That's it...... The gangrene does not attack them at all, as if they cannot be seen. ”
I nodded, raised my hand, and motioned for him to continue.
I don't know what's wrong, but when I heard the words "non-existent", I suddenly chuckled in my heart, and at the same time, I could feel an inexplicable feeling of falling at the tailbone.
It's weird, it looks like something is wrong with my mental state.
Is it because you've been too tired lately?
Monceau said that their ship was instantly infested with gangrene, and that there was only one way to die on it, so they rushed out of the boat, fending off the swarm of insects while looking for a way out, and fought and retreated, until they finally found the reef that was connected by the veins of the water, and the place was like a fortress, perfect for hiding, so they retreated together.
Just as the five of them were about to enter the cave, something strange suddenly appeared in the swarm.
They first heard an unusually piercing buzz in the swarm, and when he looked back, he saw a palm-sized black flying insect in the swarm of gangrene, it was not a gangrene, but Monceau could not tell what kind of insect it was.
As soon as this little bug appeared, the gangrene worms outside the cave seemed to be stimulated by some kind of strong stimulation, and suddenly became irritable, at first their guns could still block the swarm, but the swarm was so mad, only five submachine guns, but they couldn't stop them.
Monceau said that during that time, he should have been the only one who saw the little black worm, and the others did not notice it, because Monceau was the only one who shot the black worm, and the others still focused on the gangrene worm.
The black bug seemed to be wise, Monceau's marksmanship was good, and he shot out with half a shuttle, and several times almost dried the flying worm out of the air, and the bug seemed to be a little frightened, and actually got out of the swarm and fled into the distance.
As soon as the black bugs were gone, the swarm calmed down, but when Monceau looked back at himself, he found that three people had fallen, and only he and Sif were left in the cave.
The two of them had a quick exchange while fending off the swarm, and agreed to leave only one person to attract the swarm, and the other person to rush out, and the entire team, at least one person must survive, otherwise no one will be able to avenge their companions.
Sif chooses to stay, and Monceau must leave, as he is the only one who has a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, Monceau still underestimated the power of the gangrene, and as soon as he rushed out of the hole, he was stung in the waist by a gangrene worm, and the severe pain instantly made him lose the ability to run, and in a hurry, he fired a signal flare into the sky, and then withdrew into the hole.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you want to fire a flare, aren't you afraid that the people of the Sea Worm will find your location?" If you let those people know that you're still alive, there's a good chance you'll come over and mend the knife. ”
Monceau sighed: "At that time, I was also confused, thinking that this might lead people to save us, but I didn't consider that the people of the Sea Worm might also find us. It wasn't until I withdrew into the cave that I came to my senses. ”
Speaking of which, Monceau quickly added: "As the flare was fired, I heard a ship slowly approaching the reef island. ”
Oh, it makes sense for him to say that, if he didn't notice a ship approaching near Reef Island, but fired that flare, it would only mean that he was also a member of the Sea Worm.
Just kidding, this place is an inland sea, and there are no passing ships at all on weekdays, and when the flare goes out, it can only be seen by the people of the Seaworm, so he is not reporting to the people of the Seaworm.
But if he did hear the sound of the boat at that time, it is indeed possible that the flare was used to call for help.
As I've told Lilith before, vampires have a much stronger sense than normal humans, so it seems to make sense that Monceau can see the black worms hidden deep in the swarm and hear the sound of boats in the distance.
I pretended to look at Monceau a few times, his eyes were firm, and his heart was not empty, not like he was lying.
But from beginning to end, he didn't get to the most critical point.
I took the initiative to ask him, "What's in the captain's room?" ”
Monceau seemed a little unpleasant: "Captain's room? ”
"I just went back to your ship to investigate, and found that the captain's cabin was emptied, was that room empty before?"
Monceau shook his head in dismay.
Judging by this meaning, the captain's room was indeed deliberately emptied after it ran aground, but looking at his confused face, I guess he didn't know why the other party did this.
I sighed inwardly and slapped my thigh to leave, but Monceau's face tightened as if something had suddenly occurred to me.
Seeing his expression change, my newly lifted ass quickly fell back into the chair: "What do you think?" ”
Monceau frowned, and said uncertainly, "I don't know if there is a connection between these two things. Since two years ago, Ragnar has been trying to find the Spirit Realm. ”
Hearing this, my brows immediately twisted into pimples, but there was an inexplicable excitement in my heart.
After entering the Inland Sea for so long, I finally saw a little news related to the Sifang Heaven!
To be honest, from entering the Inland Sea to the present, although I have done a lot of things and solved many problems, I always have a feeling of being a fly without a head, I went to sea for the Heavenly Sect and the geniuses of the Four Directions, but the things I have done recently do not seem to be particularly directly related to my goal, and after a while, I have long been a little impatient.
Monceau's words were like a shot in the arm for me at the time, and I felt that my fists and feet, which were already a little weak, were once again full of strength at this moment.
And Monceau's words were not finished: "It was also from that time on, no matter which boat we used to go to sea, Ragnar would isolate a private space on the ship, and no one was allowed to enter except him." ”
I interjected, "The captain's cabin of this ship is his private space." ”
Monceau nodded: "Yes." ”
"In the past two years, has he done anything weird?"
"Occasionally, he would talk to himself alone against the wall, and sometimes he would become sluggish, but that was for a short time, and other than that, there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary."
I pretended to be calm and nodded: "Okay, you have a good rest, I'll go out." ”
With that, I got up and left the cabin.
I clasped my hands and came to the bow of the boat without hurrying, just when I met Lu Shengcai coming over with two boxes of cans. He said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
When he asked, he directly confused me: "What do you call me, what's wrong with me?" ”
Lu Shengcai grinned at me: "I've known you for many years, and I don't know what good things will happen to you as long as you put on such a sullen expression." When I was in my second year of junior high school, you once picked up fifty yuan on the playground, and this is the expression on your face when you returned to the classroom. ”
