The reason why the bilge in the ship is dirty, messy and smelly is that there are too few windows on the bilge wall, which is basically not ventilated, and there is no reasonable excretion channel, all the slaves eat and drink in the same place, and this place will naturally not be clean.

Merchants will never increase their spending in unnecessary places, especially thousand-year-old merchants like the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce, who have their own set of business experience, as long as the slaves on the ship can reach their destination alive, as for whether they are doing well or not, it is completely out of the scope of consideration of the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce.

This huge ironclad ship has been traveling between the eastern and western continents for several years since it was built in the dockyard, and there has been many slave trades during this time, so the dirt accumulated in the bilge is black, smelly, and hard, so that the bottom is not a place for people to stay at all.

Not to mention these sailors who have been wandering outside all the year round, and their bodies are actually not clean, even these slaves who have long been dead and don't have much feedback to the outside world can't stand it, and ordinary people are estimated to be fainted immediately.

But the situation in front of them is completely different from what they remember, although the bottom is not clean, but at least the layer on the ground makes all the sailors who are on duty to clean the bilge by themselves have a headache, helpless, and finally the thick dirt that can only be ignored has basically disappeared, but there are still some subtle traces on the ground that cannot be removed by manpower.

And the taste in the nose is not so big, only a faint smell, mixed with the unique aroma of soap, although it does not smell good, but at least it does not make people want to escape immediately, after getting used to it for a while, you can stay here for a long time.

What shocked them even more was that in the iron cage that was originally used to hold that special earth slave alone, the chains of the three inner and outer three layers of the half-blood's body had all fallen off, and he was standing leisurely in the cage, moving his body "freely".

It's not that Adam himself is so careless, but because for so long, except for Gu Xuan, no one else has come down at all, and after a long time, he can't help but relax his vigilance, plus all the earth attribute etheric energy in his body has been instilled into Gu Xuan's body, which makes it even more difficult for him, who is already very weak, to support it.

If it weren't for Gu Xuan and the other three Earth Clan warriors who had been lurking on the ship and used the identity of ordinary crew members as a cover to secretly send him some food and drink, I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to survive and still be in such good condition, at this time, it was just to move his muscles and bones normally every day to avoid further deterioration of the wounds on his limbs.

He just had a little time to take risks every day, and after he finished moving his body, he would naturally tie the shackles again, which would never make Gu Xuan embarrassed, but who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence that he would just be seen by outsiders with ill intentions?

Because Adam was facing away from the door, he thought it was Gu Xuan coming down again at first, but as soon as he turned his head, he happened to face the five outsiders with surprised faces, and his heart suddenly burst out, and he secretly said that it was not good, this can be regarded as a burden to Bao, but for a while, he couldn't go out to solve this trouble, let alone shout loudly to the three subordinates to come and help.

The five of them looked all the way over, and they couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn! Why did you loosen all the shackles?"

Immediately, someone shouted: "It was Ah Bao who did it! It must have been Ah Bao!"

Then someone followed closely and said: "Yes, it's him, it must be him, he alone can speak Donglu dialect, this must be what he did!"

Contacting the previous speculations, they almost instantly determined that all this was done by Gu Xuan, and the person who first proposed to come over to check the situation hurriedly shouted: "I know! Quick, let's go back and report to the captain!"

They had never thought about whether Gu Xuan was really related to this matter, on the contrary, they had already decided on a result in their hearts, and everything after that was nothing more than to find a reasonable explanation for their own fanciful inferences.

It's just that by mistake, they really discovered the truth.

Finally found Po's handle, and they immediately wanted to leave here to report to the captain, but at this moment, the wooden door above their heads, which was used to connect the two decks, was closed with a "bang" from the inside, and at the same time, a cold, but very familiar voice sounded softly behind them.

"Guys, where are you going?"

When the five of them heard this, they were shocked, and they slowly turned around together, facing Gu Xuan's cold eyes, and suddenly there seemed to be a cold wind blowing on their faces, they couldn't bear to freeze in place, their throats rolled, their tongues were dry, and they couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"You, you, you, how you, how。。。。。。 ”

"You, you, you, what are you going to do。。。。。。 ”

"I, we, you, don't mess around, Bao, we, we're good brothers, aren't we?"

"Bao, don't be too arrogant, this is a ship。。。。。。 ”

"What do you want? Why don't you open the door quickly。。。。。。 ”

Some people seem to have done something bad just now and were caught by the owner as flustered and overwhelmed, some people subconsciously want to get closer to the relationship between the two sides and beg for mercy, and some people can't help but threaten, but although the words on his mouth are hard, but the tone is extremely scared, the voice is as low as a mosquito barking, completely inaudible, and there is no momentum at all, just like a palm-sized kitten is screaming at a colorful tiger, no threat, just a joke.

However, Gu Xuan was also a little embarrassed at the moment, these people came here because they doubted themselves, but they happened to meet Adam moving his body in the cage, he couldn't blame Adam, he could only blame himself for not being cautious enough, but if he killed them so easily for this reason, how to deal with the corpse was a big problem.

This is far from the time to fall out directly with the fleet, but if you don't kill them, once they secretly report everything, even if they can quibble at that time, Adam will inevitably be under more severe care, not to mention that his body is far from healing now, and he doesn't know whether he will survive the past, and more importantly, once Adam is isolated alone, he will not be able to ask him about the aether energy in the future, and he will not be able to help the other party escape later, neither of which is good news.

"What did you just see?"

Although Gu Xuan was hesitating, he was asking questions unhurriedly, although the killing intent gradually rose in his heart, his face was still smiling, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart at all, but this would only make the person facing him feel more terrifying.

In his heart, he actually prefers to do it directly, after all, there are some things that can only be taken one step at a time, if the immediate problem is not solved directly, then there is no possibility of the future, and he is no longer the indecisive him now, and he will only do things more directly in the future.

When a smart person heard this, he reacted very quickly, and immediately shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything." ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they immediately nodded, saying that they really didn't see anything, and then huddled together, looking at Gu Xuan with hopeful eyes, hoping that he could let go of himself and the others, as for the future, then let's talk about it later.

Although they are not ordinary sailors, not to mention the others, such a fierce Kraken clan, they all dare to surround and fight each other, but in the face of Gu Xuan, they seem to have triggered the natural fear when facing natural enemies, and subconsciously forget that he is actually only one person, and there are five things on his side, just hugging each other, like five poor little beasts.

Gu Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this, at that moment just now, he hoped that the other party would not be so smart, so that he could help him make up his mind, but these five people were so knowledgeable, he really couldn't do it, and the atmosphere in the cabin suddenly fell into a short silence, and everyone's hearts tightened, as if they were waiting for God's judgment on him.

After a while, Gu Xuan sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "In this way, that's the best, everyone, remember, after you go out, keep your mouth shut, I'm not used to threatening others, but I will use my actions to make people who don't know anything regret it, understand?"

Everyone immediately nodded violently, as if their heads would fall off if they were only a second slower than the others.

After Gu Xuan finished speaking, he was about to turn around and open the door, but at this moment, the entire hull of the ship suddenly slammed to the side, even he couldn't stand still, and the whole person flew out directly to the side, not to mention the others, all of them fell to the side, especially the iron cages containing the slaves were smashed to the side together.

At the same time, in the outside world, a huge sea beast suddenly appeared from the sea, more than 20 zhang long, with a head like a bull, scarlet eyes, and two curved horns, and its body was as huge as a whale, but it was covered with a thick layer of dark brown mane like seaweed, and there were many shells, starfish and other things hanging on it.

Three breaths ago, a huge shadow emerged from under the water, and then a deafening cow cry was heard.

"Moo!"

Immediately afterwards, its huge head rushed out of the water, setting off waves nearly thirty feet high At the same time, the huge head penetrated the mist, carrying a majestic force, and smashed directly into the hull, the whole ship had no power to resist, and instantly tilted to the side, the entire hull directly turned over ninety degrees, and the edge of the deck was even attached to the sea, and the sailors who were still working on it were all thrown into the sea, struggling to swim to the ship.

After holding on for a while, the ironclad ship, which was developed by the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce at a great price, finally held on, bounced back from the water, and did not directly turn over and fall into the water, but stood on the water again, but it was visible to the naked eye that the entire ship was at least knocked out dozens of meters away, which shows the strength of this blow.

This is the most terrifying species in the four seas, the sea beasts, and their resounding name comes from such terrifying destructive power and extreme madness.

No one knows why they were born, only that they have no intelligence to speak of, but they are one of the most troublesome species in the ocean, in terms of flesh, they are only inferior to the natural dragons, and they also have a certain magical talent, that is, the ability to use aetheric energy, although it is often only released after serious injuries, but it is terrifying enough.

The most critical point is that other races can still communicate, even if they don't understand each other's language, but at least, as long as it is an intelligent race, there are few murderous ones, but the sea beasts are different, they can't communicate at all, except that the merman race can control them by nature, and the dragon race relies on pure force to drive them, and so far I haven't heard of a third race that can communicate with them.

And there is a tyrannical nature in their bones, destruction is their innate hobby and task, sailing on the sea, often may be inexplicable, to suffer this kind of unwarranted disaster, this is the most irritating, such as at this moment, no one knows what crazy this sea beast has, but it is just staring at this ship, and just one blow, the whole ship almost turned over and sank directly.
