Chapter 595: Ghost Ship
"Then are we still chasing?" The fat man asked hurriedly, looking at me to be exact.
I looked at Meng Po's ghost fast boat not far away, nodded, and said, "Chase!" "If it can go to the Sea of Death, so can we!
And I didn't meet any Yin Beasts along the way, maybe something else happened; Besides, it's been chased here, and there's no turning back.
The most important thing is that I firmly believe that I am not so easy to die! The Nine Hells have all broken through, a sea of death, I'm afraid it's nothing, right?
The fat man opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask again, and rowed silently.
After more than twenty minutes of chase, the boat of the ghost of Meng Po got closer, and I could even see it.
"The Sea of Death has arrived!" At this time, Gua Ge said.
I looked up and saw a layer of misty gray mist floating above the water in front of me, and Meng Po's ghost ship had broken in, and it became blurry all at once.
"Row!" I'm in a hurry, it's easy to dodge that kind of place, and if it takes a little longer, you'll be dodged by it.
The four of them rowed hard, and soon broke into the gray fog, but what made our hearts sink at the same time was that Meng Po's ghost boat disappeared.
Gua Ge hurriedly took out his goggles to inspect, but found nothing and chased them away.
"Damn!"
I was unwilling to scold. The fat man's face changed slightly, and he said to me, "Haruko, this situation can't be chased anymore." β
"Let's go back, it's too dangerous to run in and cover your head." Gua Ge also said.
I nodded helplessly and agreed.
So, Ge Laohan turned the bow of the boat, and we immediately returned the way we came.
But what made all of us change dramatically was that for a full minute, we didn't draw the scope of the black mist!
The surrounding area was so foggy that you couldn't see the clear surface of the water when you came. It only took us more than ten seconds to break into the gray fog before, and the gap was too big.
As soon as my heart fell to the bottom, something was wrong with this gray fog, and we were probably trapped!
Everyone sensed that something was wrong, but no one spoke, and after another ten minutes of rowing, they still did not run out of the gray mist.
"Don't row, we're trapped, we can't get deeper and deeper!" Gua Ge looked cautiously to the left and right, frowning.
Everyone stopped, and let the boat row forward by inertia. There was silence in the atmosphere, because everyone didn't know what to do.
After a pause, me, the fat man, and Brother Gua all looked at Old Man Ge together.
He used to be a man who specialized in begging for a living in waters more than half a step, and he always had more experience than we did.
Ge Laohan wiped the fine beads of sweat on his head, and he didn't know whether he was tired or nervous, and said: "This sea area is called the Sea of Death, also known as the Sea of Taboo, once outsiders enter it, it is basically impossible to go out again, and I have never heard of the method of entering and exiting, but there are some currents in the waters, and only now that you find the water current, you have a chance to go out, at least there is a direction." β
I frowned, this method can only avoid being trapped in a spin inside, similar to a ghost hitting a wall, but problems also arise. No one knows where the water is going, and if you don't know where it will lead to the deepest part of the Sea of Death.
If it was just now, I would definitely chase after Meng Po's ghost, but the problem is that Meng Po's ghost has disappeared now.
"Half for half, but at least half a chance!" Guagodao.
I nodded, and now this is the only way to go, so I said, "Then find the water!" β
Ge Laohan nodded and shook the oars slightly, while the three of us lay on the side of the boat, carefully observing the situation of the water ripples, trying to find the current.
Water currents are similar to ocean currents in the ocean in that they are convection currents formed by temperature differences and densities, and are similar to the winds formed in the air.
Last time, I was attacked by someone when I returned to the sun with the fat man, but I missed the time and got lost, and it was Ge Laohan who found the water and broke into an abandoned waterway before escaping.
The location where the channel leads is the cold water hole of Hongcun.
What we're going to do now is actually pretty much the same as it was back then.
However, whenever the water flow passes through the place, the waves will be different from the side due to the interference of the flow of the current, and the difference is not too big, so you need to observe carefully.
We searched for nearly an hour, but found nothing.
"There's no way to find it this way."
I'm a little anxious, it's the same as finding a way in the reckless jungle, there are no coordinates, no direction, it's all by luck, if you're lucky, you may find it quickly, and if you're unlucky, you can't find it on the boat.
After a pause, I remembered the fat man's dragon-seeking ruler, so I asked the fat man, "Do you want to try your dragon-seeking ruler?" β
The fat man hesitated for a moment and said, "The dragon ruler is used to find the dragon point, and I don't know if the spirit is good when looking for waterways, so let's try it for the time being." After speaking, he took out the dragon ruler and recited the words in his mouth, but fortunately, there was no wind at this time, which was suitable for the dragon ruler.
I don't know if the dragon ruler really worked, it shook slightly, pointing in a direction to the left.
Ge Laohan immediately adjusted the bow of the boat and shook it in that direction.
After walking for about 20 minutes, there was a sudden loud "bang" in front of me, and something jumped out of the water and smashed down, but the fog was heavy, and I couldn't see what it was.
This sound made all of us feel at once.
Nine times out of ten, it's a Yin Water Beast!
If it's alone, it's fine, but if it's in a group, it's a big problem.
The wooden boat under their feet is almost like papier-mΓ’chΓ© in their mouths, and once the boat sinks, we can't cope with it even if we have three heads and six arms.
Everyone didn't dare to move, and hurriedly lay on the boat, for fear of being discovered by the Yin Beast.
"Whoa...... "What relieved us a little was that the sound of falling water gradually faded away, and the sound should be a lone yin beast, and it was still very small.......
Once again, we continued to move forward cautiously, paddling as gently as possible without making too much noise.
As a result, one after another, lone Yin Beasts continued to pass by, but we were lucky enough to hear only the sound and not see the Yin Beast. Through the mist, the Yin Beast did not notice us, and hurried by.
Worryingly, there was no sign of water flow along the way.
I looked around, anxious and helpless.
Suddenly, I felt a dark shadow slowly slip in front of me on the right.
I immediately picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and was immediately shocked, it was a small fast boat, very similar to the one that Meng Po ghost was riding.
"Over there!" I lowered my voice and hurriedly said, "Meng Po's ghost ship has reappeared. β
Brother Gua's eyes lit up, and he also picked up the binoculars and looked at them, and then said, "Chase!" β
We immediately accelerated towards that direction, and in the distance, there was always a dark shadow in the misty mist, but it was difficult to get close. No matter how hard we rowed, it seemed to keep the same distance, not letting us close, but not throwing us off either.
Half an hour passed after the chase, and we still couldn't close the distance.
"Koharu, something is wrong!" Brother Gua's face changed slightly.
I have long been aware that something is indeed wrong, when Meng Po escaped before, the speed of the boat has always been slower than the combined force of several of us, but this time it has never been able to get close, the distance is just right, not far and not close.
In the fog, we could just see it, but we couldn't get close! It felt like hanging us! Draw us in!
"Stop!"
Old Man Ge suddenly shouted.
"What's the situation?" The three of us had a bad feeling in our hearts.
"This ...... It's a ghost ship! Old Ge's face turned pale and his face was frightened.
"Ghost ship?" I swallowed and said, "Tell me clearly, what is the situation?" β
"I also heard from the older generation, saying that there are not only yin beasts in the water, but also ghost ships on the water, they are ghosts who died in vain because they got lost, and they are bound to the ghost ship for eternity, and they are not allowed to be reborn, only by finding a substitute for the dead ghosts can they get out of the sea of suffering, I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Old Man Ge wiped the cold sweat on his head and said excitedly.
My scalp tingled when I heard it, and strangely the ship in front of me had also stopped with us, and it was hidden in the fog, and its outline could be clearly seen.
"What now?" The fat man was also very nervous, and said, "It's targeting us, and wants us to be substitutes!" β
"Homecoming!" Old Man Ge shuddered for a moment, and immediately said.
Without saying a word, the three of us turned the bow of the boat and rowed desperately towards the back.
But at this moment, a very dense sound came from under the surface of the water in the distance.
When we saw it, we were immediately frightened and cold.
I saw that under the water on the other side of the ghost ship, a large black shadow spread towards us from the bottom of the water like a curtain.
It's a massive herd of Yin beasts!
