Chapter 1768: Two Things Missing
The leader of the Black Waves frowned, for so many years, there were very few messages that could be called big events among the Black Waves. This is enough to show that something very serious has happened overseas.
Hurriedly looking down, the leader of the black waves couldn't help but gasp, the letter said that a large number of demon beasts had appeared overseas again, and the direction was the sea area of Mandan Island, which was spreading from the deep ocean, and was about to reach Mingque Island. More than two dozen cargo ships sailing the outer island chain were attacked, killing thousands. This is only one thing, the second thing is even more strange, not far from the mainland, Cuiqing Qingdao was destroyed, and more than 3,000 people on the island are missing.
"What's wrong?" As soon as the leader of the black waves finished reading the letter, he heard Jiang Xingchen's inquiry. Looking up, I don't know when everyone gathered around him, all looking at themselves with questions, obviously the arrival of the sea eagle has already attracted everyone's attention.
"Look, sir!" The leader of the black waves handed over the letter in his hand.
Dajiang Xingchen couldn't help frowning when he saw it, the first thing he thought of when he saw this news was that there had been another change in the deep ocean, otherwise it would be impossible for a large number of demon beasts to run inside.
The old man also looked at it on the side, and when he saw what the letter said, he couldn't help but shout: "There are demon beasts again, won't it, everything is normal when I go to the deep ocean in August." ”
"It's possible that something can change every day, especially if it's been three months!" Jiang Xingchen replied to the old man, and then asked everyone: "Which of you is familiar with Cui Qingdao?"
Wang Tong immediately took over the conversation: "Sir, Cui Qingdao is located between Mandan Island and the mainland, and it is a small force attached to Mandan Island, about a thousand miles away from the mainland. For some small and medium-sized fleets that don't have seven-story treasure ships, Cuiqingdao is the only way to get to the mainland, where they can be replenished with enough fresh water and food. ”
Jiang Xingchen nodded, his expression became more solemn, Hei Lang's news was not clear, three thousand people were missing, how could they be missing? And it is a place where many small fleets rest, there must be a large number of people, could it be that the people of Cuiqingdao are missing under everyone's noses, and no one sees anything?
Jiang Xingchen hesitated for a moment, and ordered loudly: "Notify Mingque Island immediately and let the fourth child get ready." In addition, let him tell the other forces around him the news and let them pay more attention when they go to sea. The Wang family immediately took the killer whales out to protect the world's commercial banks along the way. ”
A series of orders were issued, and the people on the Star immediately moved.
"Sir, what about us now?" Han Xiaowu asked.
"Let's go to Cui Qingdao to see who is so bold!" Jiang Xingchen narrowed his eyes, after pacifying overseas, he thought that the situation overseas was all under control, but he didn't expect that such an incident would occur, this was simply a provocation.
"Old man, do you take Pink to the deep ocean again to see what's going on over there?" Jiang Xingchen finally said.
"I'm leaving, no! What about your safety?" The old man shook his head resolutely.
Jiang Xingchen said: "I still have a demon fox by my side, it will be fine!"
The old man pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay for me to go, but let Pink go home and mobilize some force first." Don't forget what happened in the depths of the vastness, only the demon fox will definitely not work!"
As soon as the old man said this, Jiang Xingchen couldn't refute it, the mercury balls appeared more and more frequently, and he should indeed be vigilant.
Not long after, Pink turned around and flew towards Xingchen Ling, and Jiang Xingchen instructed the young master of the Mu family: "Sail at full speed and go to Cui Qingdao!"
It is more than 1,000 miles from Linhai City to Cuiqingdao, that is, 500 kilometers, which is about 270 nautical miles when converted into nautical miles. From the Land of the Damned, closer to Cuiqing, the Star has a maximum speed of twenty-six knots, and it can be reached in ten hours at full speed.
Due to the short time, Jiang Xingchen did not ask the leader of the Black Wave to write to the young master of the Black Wave to ask for detailed information.
In November, the days were short and the nights were long, and ten hours later it was already dusk, and the Xingchen had already arrived outside the port of Cuiqingdao.
The port of Cuiqingdao is not small, otherwise it would not normally be able to accommodate so many ships berthing back and forth. But now it's quiet, and not a single ship can be seen.
"Sir, the harbor is full of broken fragments of ships!" The sailors on the watchtower shouted.
"Broken debris of a ship!" Jiang Xingchen was a little puzzled, and said secretly in his heart: "If the people on the island were plundered, why was the ship also destroyed." And most of the ships moored here should be small fleets of ships running for shipping, could it be that even they have an accident?"
The old man leaned over and whispered, "Boy, I don't think something is quite right!"
"Nonsense! Jiang Xingchen glanced at the old man with disdain, and waved his hand forward: "Everyone prepare, drive into the port!"
Young Master Mu hesitated a little: "Sir, do you want to drive in, the depth of the water in this port"
"No problem, drive in!" Jiang Xingchen nodded to confirm that he had already explored with the Material Detection Array, and the water depth of this port was more than ten meters, so there was no problem at all in driving in.
The Xingchen slowly sailed into the port, Jiang Xingchen stood by the ship, took a telescope and looked around, only to see that the sea was full of scattered wood fragments, some large, some small.
"Demon Fox, bring me that piece of wood!" Jiang Xingchen suddenly pointed to a piece of floating wood more than fifty meters away and said.
"Woohoo!" The demon fox agreed, and a fiery red shadow jumped out, and after a few seconds, a large wooden plank half a meter wide and more than two meters long was thrown on the deck.
"Boy, what are you doing with a broken piece?" The old man asked puzzled.
Jiang Xingchen raised his hand to keep him silent, looked back and forth with the wooden board, and then pointed to a position in the upper middle and said, "Old man, look at what this is?"
The old man was also aroused by Jiang Xingchen's curiosity, squatted down to take a closer look, and saw that there were several deep marks on the position pointed by Jiang Xingchen, as if they had been drawn out by some blunt object, and they were very even. Especially at the apex of the scratch, the piercing of the board was very deep, almost piercing the board that was 20 centimeters thick.
"What do you think is going on?" The old man raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xingchen and asked with a solemn expression.
Jiang Xingchen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I just explored the seabed of the harbor and found not a single shipwreck, what does this mean that the ships in the port were definitely not blown up, otherwise it would be impossible for a single shipwreck to be found! These ships are broken into pieces, and this trace is the description!"
Jiang Xingchen nodded to the wooden board and said in a low voice: "If my estimate is correct, it should be a demon beast, and it is quite violent!" (To be continued.) )
