A small voice, whispering softly in the white mist. Then, it dissipated into the air. The sea was suddenly quiet, and even the sound of the waves was much quieter.

The light of the oil lamp in the bow of the ship suddenly dimmed a little.

"War?" Lao Li was stunned, and after a trace of nervousness flashed in his eyes, he raised his wine bag and took a sip of wine, smacking his lips and frowning. On this foggy day, the humidity at sea is extremely heavy, and you really can't hold on without two sips of wine.

"With whom?" the sixth also asked with some curiosity.

The soldier with the beard was about to open his mouth when the hull shook violently.

There was a faint creaking sound from all over the hull, and the oil lamp fell to the ground, gurgling and rolling to the side. The lights went out, and the bow of the ship was plunged into a white expanse with no light.

The three of them were also swaying from side to side, except for Lao Li who barely sat down, Luo Hu and Lao Liu all fell on the deck suddenly.

Slightly stunned, they were also suspicious in their hearts, they were on a lucky ship, this kind of sea ship in the underworld, except for the treasure ship of the Emperor Xudu. Even if there was a typhoon at sea, the hull would not have swayed so much.

Before they could get up, the hull shook from side to side again.

"What's going on?" the sixth got up, staggered to the bow of the boat under the shaking of the hull, and hurriedly held on to the fence probe and looked down the boat and exclaimed, "It won't hit the rock, right?" What I saw was still white fog, but it was still white fog.

Everything around is still so blurry.

"It's not how it feels to hit a rock. Lao Li, who is more experienced, looked around as he spoke, his eyes had just adjusted to the white mist, and he vaguely saw a black shadow flashing in the white mist in front of him, heading towards the sixth child.

"Little ......" Before Lao Li Xin could say the word, he saw a huge mouth full of curved fangs, rushed out of the white mist and bit the sixth man when he heard the words, only then did he straighten up and raise the ghost head.

When Lao Li and the bearded man turned pale and held their breath, the fangs in the bloody mouth tore off his neck like a withering and decaying blow before the sixth child could scream out, giving him a different place.

At the same time, behind him and on the other ships around, black shadows rushed out of the dense fog like ghosts, followed by a series of screams.

Lao Li's heart trembled, and he glanced at the beard who had already stood up, and they both saw the surprise and nervousness in each other's eyes. The next second, when they turned their heads to look in front of them, they saw a beast soul about a foot long, with a wide head, twisting its body, jumping onto the deck and lying there.

The body was wet and still dripping, as if Fang had washed out of the sea.

This is exactly what killed the sixth child just now.

"What's that?" the bearded man pulled out the long knife at his waist, his hands gripping the hilt but still trembling.

His eyes widened as he stared at the beast soul lying not far in front of him, and saw that it looked very much like a dragon, but its horns were very short, and its body was as thick as the waist of four or five people together, with white patterns on its neck, blue patterns on its back, ochre on its chest, and protruding pieces of flesh on its eyebrows crossed between its eyes.

A pair of bronze bell eyes that looked directly at them burst out in the white mist with a dark red fierce light that only carnivores can only have when they see their prey.

It's an adult Jiao!

The noise around them grew heavier and heavier, the sound of cursing, screaming, the creaking of the hull before it shattered, and the chaotic sound of the intersecting blades of the ship, all of which were intertwined for a while, confused in the white mist.

Before the beard and Lao Li could recover from their fear, the Jiao in front of them had already twisted his body and screamed and pounced on them......

The cloudy sun slowly rose, and the red light accompanied by the sea breeze dissolved the white fog on the sea.

Ten miles outside the port of twilight, a formation of ships suddenly appeared. Hundreds of warships, as if falling from the sky, suddenly appeared here when the fog cleared.

On the top of the mast on some warships, there are eight yin and yang fish, arranged in eight directions, surrounding this black flag with a crescent moon and ring sun pattern, which is the national flag of the Nine Shadows designed by Wu Qiu Shou for Xiao Shizhu.

The rest are hung with red flags, and in the middle of each banner is embroidered a black fire dragon spitting fire beads, which means bright sky fire.

The sea around them was filled with sawdust of various sizes, broken masts and oars, pots and pans, and tattered flags, all of which were blue and white-edged, embroidered with waves.

Xiao Shizhu stood at the bow of the flagship, turned his head to look at the other flagship next to him, and also stood at the bow of the ship, staring at the long qin in the south in front of him, turned his head and pulled out the binoculars, raised it and looked south.

Since the merman came to report last night that the enemy patrol fleet had been found here, Xiao Shizhu and Zhu Rongjun and their combined army took advantage of the fog and night to attack this place.

Soon, the co-workers' patrol fleet was torn apart into countless sawdust by the mermaids and the Jiao they tamed.

At the end of the battle, the Combine lay dormant in the fog all night, and no enemy troops came to support. The anticipation and excitement faded as the sky brightened.

After a while, Xiao Shizhu, who had a somewhat heavy face, suddenly turned to King Kong behind him and said, "Hit the flag, attack!"

King Kong received the order and turned away.

A moment later, the clear and melodious sound of the horn sounded one after another, and the warships set sail one after another, heading towards the south in an orderly manner.

The array of ships like mountains and islands sailed with the wind, and it only took three quarters to reach the front of the twilight harbor. But outside the enemy's largest port, there were neither warships nor merchant ships. This is true even in Hong Kong and China.

Under the morning breeze, the place was quiet and somewhat lifeless.

Looking at the beachhead not far ahead, where there were only a few scattered coconut trees left, Xiao Shizhu scolded in his heart: "Sure enough, as I expected, if the co-workers want to play with me, they must first clear the wilderness! ”。

Thinking of this, he turned his head suddenly, and saw Changqin, who was also standing at the bow of the other flagship beside him, looking at him with suspicious eyes.

Xiao Shizhu spread his hands, pretending that he didn't know anything, and shook his head at him.

Then he glanced at the Twilight City with its tall and thick city walls behind the beachhead, and after a little thought, he said to King Kong: "Order all the Xiao family troops to immediately land and attack Twilight City." The Nine Shadow Water Master and Quan Xian and his mermaid clan stayed behind to block the coastline in this area. ”。

"No. King Kong answered, and turned to leave.

After a while, all the Xiao family troops rushed to the beachhead, and under the cover of the air force led by Qin Yuan and the air cavalry led by Ying Zhao, they headed towards Duxi City in an orderly manner.

Lu Wu led a thousand cavalry cavalry riding green horses, and in a moment, he had left the infantry behind, and without any resistance, rushed to the west and south of the city of Dusk, surrounded by water.

But when they saw that the city gate was opened, and there were indeed no defenders, they all had doubts in their hearts. Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they all see the confusion in each other's eyes.

Not far from the sea, Xiao Shizhu shouted to Changqin, who was still puzzled: "Prince, our army will be responsible for blocking the nearby coastline to ensure the safety of our material routes, but according to the plan, your army should start invading along the twilight water west of Duxi City." ”。

"The main force of the Gonggong, it can't be just the ten ships we attacked last night. When Changqin heard this, he also shouted to him: "I'm afraid there is fraud here?"

"Don't be afraid, the sailors will continue to stay at sea, and your infantry will go ashore and go south and south. Xiao Shizhu nodded his head and said, "War is like this, and plans can never catch up with changes." Since his main force did not go to sea to meet the enemy, we took the initiative to look for fighters. Just a slight change, the infantry shore can defend against the enemy. ”。

Changqin thought for a moment when he heard this, and felt that he was right, so he nodded and said to his herald: "Order the infantry to go ashore and start the invasion." ”。

Changqin, who had never really fought in actual combat, thought that everything would go according to the original plan, without changing at all, but he didn't expect that there were so many mutations, and he was somewhat bottomless in his heart.

Xiao Shizhu glanced at his slightly furrowed brows, shook his head slightly, and turned around to go.

Half an hour later, he took his own soldiers and came to the shore in the city of twilight.

When I entered the north city gate, I saw that the city was empty in ten alleys and nine empty, most of the houses had already been empty, and all the streets were silent.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Lu Wu, who was carrying a puff of dust behind him, rushing towards him from a distance.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shizhu grabbed the reins, looked at Lu Wu, who had driven three feet in front of him and made a "sudden brake", and steadied his footsteps, but still slid forward a few feet because of inertia.

"It's an empty city, there is not half a grain of food in it, no money or weapons, only a few empty houses. Lu Wu gasped, frowned and said in a deep voice: "There are still many old, weak, sick and disabled souls, and it seems that they have not had time to evacuate. ”。

"Huh. Xiao Shizhu smiled lightly and said quite confidently: "It's not that it's not too late, it's that the co-workers deliberately left it, intending to throw the problem to us." If we ignore them, we will inevitably be in the hearts of the people, and it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in this place, and these old, weak, sick and disabled people will be extremely hungry, and will rob us of our military rations, causing us a lot of trouble. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar in the air.

Xiao Shizhu suddenly looked up, and saw Qin Yuan with a few sneers, hovering in the air above him, and swooping down.

Qin Yuan, who was a little nervous, fluttered his wings and landed on Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, and shouted urgently: "My lord, the cultivated fields in the south and east have already been harvested, and there is nothing left. ”。

On the other hand, Xiao Shizhu did not feel the slightest nervousness after hearing the words, but still had a calm and calm face. It was as if he had expected all this.
