Chapter 169: Huge tentacles

In the historical documents of our country. Records of war ships date back to the late Shang Dynasty. King Wu of Zhou used forty-seven large ships to transport troops and supplies. Cross the river at Mengjin and march eastward. After the decisive battle of Makino, the merchant army was broken. Straight to the merchant all songs.

Of course. At that time, the ship could not be called a warship. Just for transportation.

In the Spring and Autumn period. Water wars began to emerge. Battleships are just beginning to walk on the stage of history.

Qin and Han dynasties. The development of warships accelerated. The building ships of the Han Dynasty are even more famous. It has had a great influence on shipbuilding in later generations.

Eastern Han Dynasty. The fighting ship turned out to be born. The variety of battleships has been enriched. Diversify water battles.

And at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. The number of warships in the Yuan Dynasty was unprecedented, reaching more than 17,000. Even artillery was added. It can be called a "water iron ride".

This battleship I saw. There is a shipbuilding with Han characteristics. On the deck, there are also shoddy artillery barrels that would only be added by the Yuan Dynasty sticking out. The shape is very unique.

The location I'm in is supposed to be an underground river. But how could such a huge warship float on an underground river.

Don't. This place has access to the outside.

Think of this possibility. I was immediately excited.

The warship was pinned down by several chains. Docked on the shore. Waves come ashore layer by layer. It was returned one after another. Crash together. Splashing foaming water.

I saw a chain attached to the hull of the ship hanging from a stone stake on the shore. It is swaying slightly with the hull of the ship.

Besides. There was no longer anything on the boat that was connected to the ground where I was.

I ran over and pulled the chain. But the ship was just too heavy. I blushed and couldn't move.

Look left and right. I couldn't find anything to rely on. In desperation. I had to put out the fire. Wait for it to cool down naturally and then strap it on. Climb up the iron chain with your hands and feet. Rub it like a bug on the boat.

The temperature of the chain is very low. My gloves are torn in multiple places. To prevent my palms from getting stuck to the chains when I sweat. I covered my hand with my sleeve.

But this way. But it increases the difficulty of climbing. In addition, I used to use too much energy. I had a very hard climb.

This means that my physical fitness is okay. If it is replaced by Liu Fatzi. It is estimated that I can only give up.

Thinking of Liu Fatzi. I'm thinking about those brothers again. I don't know what happened to them now. Whether it is safe or sound. Where is it at this time.

I climbed for a long time. Only then did they finally climb to the edge of the ship. I rested for a while holding the chain. The waist slammed forward. Both hands grabbed the side panels of the hull. Then carefully disengage from the chain. Push your arms out. Prop up your upper body. Climbed to the boat with difficulty.

Lie down on the cold deck. Listen to the gentle sound of the water. Look at the darkness like the void. I could only gasp for air. I didn't even have the strength to sit up.

I lay like this for a while. I dragged my aching body and struggled to get up. Relight the torches.

Stand on deck. I just realized. The ship is even bigger than what I've seen below.

The ship is divided into two parts. Most of the space is occupied by a three-storey wooden building. Heavy guns were installed on both sides of the deck and on the bow floor.

Three huge masts stand in the front, middle and rear positions of the hull. The sails are gone. Make those three masts look like flagpoles.

I'd like to observe more. But I heard a very slight "zizi" sound.

The sound was different from the sound of the sand torch burning in my hand. Be a little weaker.

Followed by. I saw a green flame suddenly appear. A dense patch. Spread all around the ship. It's like the legendary ghost fire that can burn the soul.

The so-called ghost fire. In fact, it is phosphorus fire. Because the autoignition temperature of phosphorus fire is very low. It's only about 40 degrees Celsius.

But. The temperature here is well below 40 degrees Celsius. There is absolutely no reason for a phosphorus fire.

I never believed in ghosts. But these dark green flames shook my worldview.

It's hard to do it. There really is a ghost fire in this world.

I was thinking. The phosphorus fires actually began to move. Float and sink around this huge building ship. And the formation is very neat. It's like a well-trained army.

At this time. My doubts outweigh my fears. Although this is a big taboo for inverted buckets. But I'd love to find out what these Nether Fires are all about.

Thereupon. I cautiously walked over to the side panels of the boat. Stared intently at the dense ghostly fire drifting by.

Because it's a little closer. I was finally able to see clearly. In front of each small flame. Both have a black, oblate, oval, transparent object. It's a bit like a soft worm that gets lucky.

But. I'll take a closer look. Discovered that it wasn't a bug. More like a jellyfish. And what looks like a jumping flame. It's clear that the tentacles of that thing are closing one by one.

Flying jellyfish. This is the first time I've seen it.

There are many types of jellyfish. There are more than 200 known species in the world. But almost all species of jellyfish are toxin-carrying to varying degrees.

I've heard that. There is a type of jellyfish called sea bee. Living in Australia. It is known for its poison.

If someone is stabbed by it. Within four minutes, he could die from breathlessness.

I haven't seen any of these weird flying jellyfish at the moment. I've never heard of it. So I think it's better to stay away.

But. Just as I quietly shifted my footsteps in the direction of the ship. The ghostly jellyfish suddenly began to stir. Some of them even rushed at me like crazy.

I'm not good at it. Turn around and run.

But I didn't wait to run a few steps. The huge ship shook violently. It was as if a ghost was pushing the hull back and forth to the left and right.

My feet slipped. One fell to the ground. The body slid uncontrollably towards the side of the ship.

Didn't slide far. The hull of the ship is crooked again. I immediately changed the direction of the glide.

Those jellyfish are flying around irregularly. They even collided with each other. Caused a large number of jellyfish to fall onto the deck. Some even fell on me.

I couldn't stand up though. But the hands and feet can move. Hurriedly slapped the jellyfish on his body and side out of the air. At the same time, I have to protect my torches from being extinguished.

Suddenly. The hull of the ship stopped shaking slightly. This was followed by a wider angle of roll. If it weren't for my quick eyes, I would have grabbed the mast. I guess this surprise will throw me outside.

Just as I struggled to hold on to the mast. The deafening sound of breaking water suddenly sounded.

I looked up by the light of the flames. I saw a huge tentacle curling outward. And with that dense suction cup, it firmly adsorbed the nearby jellyfish.
