After the death of the eldest prince, in accordance with the legal order of succession, the younger prince Mu Lina was made the crown prince by the queen.

It's still the same old question – age; He was still young, and he was still more than ten years away from adulthood, so Wang Shubozhike had no choice but to continue to supervise the country and manage the internal and external affairs of the country.

As the little prince grew up day by day, he gradually showed a different temperament from his brother.

The elder brother is naturally quiet and elegant, and he is polite to others; His younger brother Mu Li is different, he was born handsome and strong, and he is increasingly showing a brave and aggressive character that does not admit defeat.

After the death of the eldest prince, the surrounding star kingdoms all showed distrust of Bořik, and even suspected that he had something to do with the death of the eldest prince; In order to repair foreign relations, the queen came forward many times to clarify, indicating that it was an accidental misstep, but to no avail.

In later days, Bořík showed great kindness and concern for Mulina, like an old father; Whether it is the life of the little prince or his travels, he will always do everything personally and caringly.

Since he was a child, the little prince has loved to explore, whether it is a deep cave, a remote canyon, or a distant island, as long as he knows it, he wants to explore it.

Uncle Bozhike then sent people to search around and visit such a region, so as to satisfy the curiosity of the little prince.

On this day, when the little prince was playing in the palace, he overheard several people chatting, and the little fat man said: "Ma Yan'er, have you heard, in a very distant place in the east, I found a heartless island, which was full of gold and full of treasures from different worlds. ”

"Of course I've heard of it," Ma Mian'er said excitedly, "and it's much more than that, I heard that no one on Heartless Island has a brain, only an empty brain, and it's scary to think about it." ”

Their conversation caught the little prince's attention, and just as he walked over to learn more about it, the two men ran away at a brisk pace.

At lunchtime, the little prince proposed to go to the east to explore the island of Wuxin, but the queen objected at the time, believing that it was a boundless legend and should not be risked for it.

But Uncle Wang Bozhike strongly supported the little prince's decision, "I agree to let Mu Li go, and the children should go out to wander, one can increase knowledge, and the other can exercise courage." ”

"Uncle Wang is right," the little prince was very happy, "Mother, don't stop you, don't worry, I will be careful myself." ”

The queen had intended to arrange for the little prince to go by airship, so that he could go and return quickly; But the little prince disagreed, thinking that it was boring and not exciting enough.

So according to the request of the little prince, Wang Shubozhike specially built a clipper, this ship has a high mast, a wide deck, and plenty of cabins below; The overall design is extremely sturdy and practical, and luxurious, which the little prince loves very much.

Before setting out, the little prince personally selected ten sailors and shipwrights, as well as two playmates from childhood, Kurgan and Kranqi.

Uncle Wang was still not at ease, so he assigned his cronie Ying Aji to accompany him and take care of the safety of several children on the way.

All the necessary materials were ready, and the little prince and his party said goodbye to their relatives at the pier.

Holding her son, who was about to go away, the queen thought about it, and her heart was uneasy, and she couldn't help but burst into tears in two lines.

Uncle Wang repeatedly instructed Ying Aji to take care of everyone and wish them a safe return as soon as possible!

The sun was three poles, and the time came, and with the order of the little prince Mu Li, the high sails were raised, and they set off towards the deep sea to meet the rising sun in the east.

This was Mu Lina's first voyage to the open sea, and he was so excited that he often looked around with a telescope.

Every time they cross a small island or reef, the boat has to lean over and pick up some exotic flowers, a pile of shells and conchs, or a few small animals, in short, every time there is a catch.

A month later, they had sailed thousands of nautical miles.

On this day, Ying Aji came down from the high watchtower and said excitedly: "Your Highness, I found a mirage in the distance, and the scenery is so beautiful that I can't see it on the deck. ”

"Mirage," the little prince's eyes lit up, the sight he had been waiting for, "give me the binoculars." ”

Grabbing the telescope from Inagi's hand, he climbed the mast as fast as a monkey and climbed to the top of the watchtower.

Sure enough, on the distant skyline, a strange scenery appeared, with various buildings and rolling snow-capped mountains; The sunlight casts on the top of the snow-capped mountain, reflecting a dazzling color, which is particularly attractive.

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful!" Mu Li's mouth kept admiring, he was completely immersed in it, and there was an obvious shaking of the wooden platform under his feet, and he didn't even notice it.

Suddenly, there was a "click", and two of the watchtower's brackets were broken, and before Mu Li could react, he fell headlong.

If he fell on the deck, he would surely die, and in a hurry, the little prince woke up.

As he fell rapidly from the air, he stretched out his limbs, his robes unfolded like bats; Instead of falling onto the deck, he slid into the water next to him.

His two playmates saw this and immediately jumped into the water, Kurgan grabbing him by the arm and Kranchi grabbing his clothes to prevent Mulina from sinking to the bottom of the sea.

By this time, the boatmen had already thrown down their life jackets and lifebuoys, and the little prince was pulled back to the boat by everyone.

He was soaking wet; While blaming the crew for not doing their duty and should have carefully maintained and overhauled the watchtower, Inagi brought clean clothes to the little prince himself.

The little prince didn't care too much, but comforted Ying Aji, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, you see, I'm not good, if you hadn't told me, I would have missed the mirage, thank you so much, Ying Aji!" ”

Ying Aji smiled reluctantly, and the matter was over.

After a few days, they came to a sea area called "Fish Valley", where the water took on an unusual black color, the fish they had seen were gone, and from time to time they could see black water churning up from the bottom of the sea.

Seeing that this was a sea area with abnormal water conditions, the little prince Mu Li made the sailors cheer up, on the one hand, they had to steer the fast boat carefully, and on the other hand, they had to be on the embankment to prevent unforeseen incidents.

Until late at night, the little prince did not dare to sleep, and he asked Kurgan to keep watch at the bow of the ship, and Kranqi crouched at the stern, checking the movements around the ship.

Sure enough, just after midnight, there was a sound in the water, and a cloud of blue light came into view from the bottom of the water, and it became larger as the water waves continued to shake.

Suddenly, several vicious mouths burst out of the water, with two rows of sharp broken teeth, constantly opening and closing.

As the giant mouth opened and closed, the strange fish let out a ghostly "hehe" laugh, which sounded terrifying and chilled down the spine on the empty, dark sea!

It is a ferocious fish, its body several meters long hides in the night, but its fangs, lips and eyes can emit blue fireflies, so in the dark, it looks like a strange fish with a large mouth and no body.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of large-mouthed monsters surrounded the clipper, and a few of them were almost on the verge of jumping onto the deck and being pushed down by the sailors wielding wooden sticks.

The little prince was concentrating on directing the crew to fight on the side of the ship, but someone pushed him hard behind him, and Mu Li turned over and fell from the ship.

Fortunately, at the moment of his fall, the ship's lights shone on him, and Kurgan in the bow saw it, and he shouted: "The prince has fallen overboard." ”

After saying that, he picked up a wooden stick and jumped into the water desperately.

Kranchi, who was at the stern of the boat, also jumped into the sea with a stick, and when the largemouth saw that someone had fallen into the water, they swam quickly and soon surrounded them.

On the ship, Inagi asked the sailors to pick up the searchlight, illuminate the little prince in the water, and check the situation in the water.

There was another rumbling sound from underwater, and under the light, several huge black waves rolled up from the bottom of the water.

Then, a giant water monster dozens of meters long rushed up from under the water, opened its big mouth full of fangs, and swallowed the three people and the surrounding fish in one bite.

The water monster's big mouth grunted a few times, and seemed to say vaguely, "Only let fish eat but not people".

Then, the giant water monster spewed out a mouthful of water, and the three of them were poured out together, squirting far away; After that, the monster rolled over and sank to the bottom of the water, and disappeared.

The blue light and the evil fish disappeared, and the sea quickly returned to calm, and the three people were also pulled from the sea to the boat.

Everyone else was happy, but Ying Aji seemed to be frightened by what he had just seen; He broke out in a cold sweat and kept wiping it with his sleeve.
