Zhu Lou dreamed last night, and tonight the water country sings.

The island clouds steam the sea, and the lan air connects the jungle.

Since last year, since the reopening of a total of seven treaty island ports on the coastal islands, there have been far fewer Western merchant ships coming from the sea.

That's right, it's a lot less.

The evil is coming from all over the world, and they will not just stare at Daming.

The European continent has also fallen into treacherous lashing and abuse, the difference is that none of them has a figure like Yue Buqun who has come forward.

Even if Europe also has their own martial arts system, there are some masters who have gradually transcended the world through long-term training and hard work, and at the same time, they are indeed higher in the use of artillery, but in the face of treacherous invasion, they are still more vulnerable and powerless.

It stands to reason that Columbus should have discovered America during this time, but it is not known whether he will be able to reach that land safely.

Even if you set foot there, what will await you?

After eating a large number of creatures in the ocean, they will become very large, their strength will be greater, they will grow armor earlier, and they have all kinds of strange abilities.

But as long as you haven't eaten a human yet, you can treat them as a nightmare-level sea beast for the time being.

Those who have eaten people are different!

Wisdom and cognition have been gained from the human brain, and the huge sea is treacherous, and it will want to go ashore.

Go eat more people.

At this time, on the cloudless, slightly turbulent sea, a merchant ship from Portugal, passing through the Cape of Good Hope, crossing the Indian Ocean, and crossing thousands of miles, is about to arrive in the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty.

Qiongzhou is the largest of the six foreign trade islands opened by the Ming Dynasty.

And in all directions facing the sea, rows of artillery are densely placed.

Seeing the rows of artillery and the merchant ships crowded with refugees, the mentally numb and tired people showed a glimmer of hope.

Almost charred skin, chapped lips, all indicate that these people have been short of supplies for some time.

The most uncomfortable thing is that at the stern of the ship, there is an area separated by wooden barrels, and the bodies of those who died on the way are piled up.

The rotting corpse will not only flow out rancid acid water, attracting a large number of mosquitoes, but at the same time, the extremely strong smell of corpses, mixed with the smell of sweat on the ship, the smell of rotten ship wood, and the salty smell of sea fish, has been transformed from a direct physical attack into a magical attack of a rotten soul.

The corpse of the dead must not be thrown off the ship, lest it attract the prying eyes and greed of the lord of the sea, which is an iron rule that has begun to circulate on the sea in recent years.

And the reason that sustained people to endure such a hell and go through many dangers to come to this eastern sea is that the news that faintly spread back to Europe said that in this mysterious land of the east, there are powerful cultivators who can kill those terrible monsters and provide shelter and safety for the people.

People who live in the Eastern world, there is no hunger and hatred, all are polite, they are rich and strong, generous and hospitable.

True or false, under the coercion of fear and death, no one can calmly and rationally discern it.

It took a huge price to bring a family on board.

Along the way, everyone who survived lost a lot, including most of their humanity.

The only thing that sustains them now is to take a look at the soil of the East and see if this is really a dream paradise.

But even if it's not, they keep convincing themselves.

Because there is so much to lose, lies are needed for solace.

Qiongzhou guard Shan Zheng, who was holding a monocular, spotted the approach of the merchant ship.

"Another refugee ship!"

"Bad luck!"

"Beware, all of them are cannonballed, this could be a treacherous trap to use this ship to trick our defensive artillery array, and then raid the island."

"Damn, I hope there are a few Western craftsmen on this ship, otherwise I'd rather blow it up." Shan Zheng said.

Hearing Shan Zheng's shout, many strong men of Western race who were at the forefront of the artillery array, almost facing the sea, began to operate the cannon barrel one after another, and unceremoniously used it to target their compatriots.

Western refugees who do not have any skills, if they are lucky enough to survive to the coast of Daming, will also be detained by the local defenders and used as cannon fodder.

Even if they are eaten by the evil spirit, their memories and cognition will not provide much useful information for the evil spirit.

At most, it's to give the evil a little brain.

Fortunately, it is not true that the more people eat, the wiser they will become.

Cannibalism is just a process of enlightenment, not an infinitely superimposed state.

Boom!

A cannonball, exploded near the merchant ship.

The splash of water stirred up the people on the boat one after another.

They looked at the island not far away and began to wave and shout with all their might.

All kinds of different languages, intertwined together, poured through.

"Damn, what a bird song!" Shan Zheng spat out.

"Where's the Tongue Man?" Shan Zheng asked.

A Portuguese priest was taken out.

"Shouting, those who can make artillery, build ships, and do crafts can give priority to arranging small boats to pick them up."

"The others... Line up! Shan Zheng said to the priest.

The priest cowered and said in stiff Chinese: "God! Great Eastern generals, you should be more merciful, they have suffered a lot, you need to prepare water and bread for them, and not keep them out... ”

Scold!

A long knife rested on the priest's neck.

The priest immediately took up the wooden sound-raising tool and shouted loudly to the ship, changing two or three languages.

The people on the boat, hearing the shouting, seemed to be in a state of despair.

Suddenly, there was a riot.

Pick open the barrels and push the already decomposed corpses into the sea.

Shan Zheng, who has been observing continuously, of course saw this scene.

"! All the cannons are filled! Beware of sea tricks! ”

Before the words were finished, the sea suddenly set off violent waves.

The huge, sharp, and hideous fish bone spurs tore open the waves and appeared in the field of vision first.

"Fire!" Shan Zheng roared.

Artillery fire rang out, and shells smashed into the sea, but they didn't know if they hit the target.

After a salvo, the water became more and more turbid.

It was as if calm had been restored.

"Reload the shells and watch out for the barrel to overheat!" Shan Zheng shouted.

The waves of the sea rose and fell, and between the sky and the sea, the small merchant ships suddenly rose up.

It seems to have taken to the skies with a trend.

Everyone on the ship, screaming in terror.

And beneath the waves that supported the merchant ships flying high, a hideous and ferocious sea treachery finally revealed part of its true face.

It looks, in general, like a giant seal.

He has a very Western-style human face, a hooked nose, deep eye sockets, and sparse hair on the top of his head.

The pitch-black skin is covered with strange and evil patterns, and on the left and right cheeks, there are tiny, toothy mouths.

Every mouth, there is a sound, some are screaming, some are singing, and some are whining.

The thick nail membrane covers the huge evil body with a body length of more than ten meters.

Occasionally, a shell landed on it, and it only sent some ripples to the armor.

"Hurry up and ask for the heroes of the Evil Alliance!" Shan Zhengkan's heart trembled and shouted loudly.

"No, we're already here!" A group of Jianghu people dressed in roughly uniform clothes, carrying alloy swords on their backs and wearing alloy armor, arrived on the city wall near the sea.

The leader also has a hand cannon hanging from his waist with a sea snake pattern, which has a unique shape but a unique beauty.

It's a status symbol.
