Chapter 5 Changes in the Yujiang River

Half an hour later, there was a sudden vibration of the ship's hull, which was not large, but it caused everyone on the ship to discuss.

"What's going on?!"

"What's wrong?!"

Someone shouted.

After a while, the management of the ship came forward, he stood on the observation pavilion several feet high, and said loudly: "Just now we were attacked by a fierce beast in the water, so there was a vibration, this situation often happens, everyone rest assured, our ship is solid, there is no need to worry about it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hull of the ship shook again, this time by a greater magnitude than the first. The manager's brows furrowed instantly, then he returned to normal, and said with a relaxed face: "Our ship has a thick iron armor, and there is a large array of guards, these water monsters have collided several times without results, and they will naturally leave." ”

Knock –

With a loud bang, the entire giant ship shook violently, much more serious than the previous two times. At this moment, a crew member quickly ran out of the cabin, came to the manager, and whispered a few words.

The manager's pupils shrank, and his face changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted back, facing the people on the deck and out of the cabin, he groaned, and said: "We have encountered more than one attack by a strange beast, and the situation is a bit tricky, but everyone rest assured, since you are on this ship, we will naturally be responsible for you, everyone just need to be patient and wait for the result." “

His words were half-truthful, mainly to appease the emotions of the crowd, but the actual situation was much worse than what he said.

The manager looked around and slowly retreated into the attic.

The people on deck were told why, but most of them had worry written on their faces. After all, this is Yujiang, and the things that can survive here must be extraordinary.

"Senior brother, do you know what's in the water?" asked Zhang Linchen.

Wang Wu frowned and said, "I don't know, but it must be a powerful thing." ”

As he spoke, the hull of the ship shone brightly, the surface lines spread brightly, and the speed of the ship began to gradually increase, trying to get rid of what was underwater.

Wang Wu emitted a faint light around his body, fixing Zhang Linchen and himself in place, no matter how fast the speed was, the two of them never moved like a mountain.

After half the incense, the speed of the ship stabilized, and when it returned to the beginning, the light of the hull disappeared immediately.

Then, the previous administrator reappeared on the lookout tower and loudly announced that they had been freed from the beasts in the water, so that everyone could relax.

The ship moved forward steadily, and at some point, a white mist suddenly rose on the water. The sky that had been shining with the sun was also obscured, and the light dimmed in an instant.

"Damn, what's fogging?!" someone said uneasily.

"Isn't this a safe shipping lane, there shouldn't be such a thing!" said another, panicking.

"Maybe it's just an ordinary fog, this is not a danger zone, and you won't touch those weird things!" a crew member calmly analyzed.

"But what if?" someone asked, gritting his teeth.

"Then we will never be at peace!" said one of the old crew members in fear.

......

The appearance of the fog made many people on the ship look frightened and discussed, as if they had seen something terrible.

"Hey, it's foggy?"

Zhang Linchen heard the sound of discussion gradually, closed the book in his hand called "Ten Thousand Arrays True Solution", and looked around.

The fog is pervasive, Zhang Linchen can see the water surface dozens of zhang away at most, and the overall fog is not thick, or even relatively thin.

Wang Wu on the side looked solemnly into the depths of the mist, his eyebrows mixed with thoughts and worries.

After some time, the ship's management once again appeared to comfort everyone, but it didn't have much effect. Because many people, especially those who are older, know that once something ominous appears, it means that the situation has become dead.

Now we can only wait to see if the ship can break through the fog and see the light.

Zhang Linchen learned from a crew member not far away that there were occasionally some unusual phenomena on the Yujiang River, and the fog seemed to be much normal, but there was a hidden danger in it. Most of the ships that encountered the fog in the Yujiang River completely disappeared into the world, and no one knew why. At some point in the future, these ships may reappear in front of the world, but in the form of wrecks.

Although there are occasional dangers in the Yujiang River, as long as you follow the normal route, there will hardly be that kind of ominous fog, which is a valuable experience left by the predecessors.

In the center of the deck was an attic, connected to the lookout, which belonged to the ship's control room, and one of the older middle-aged men was carrying his hands behind his back, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.

He looked at the mist in the distance and said in a deep voice, "We may have deviated from the course in order to get rid of those strange beasts, so we encountered this thing. But don't panic, with our experience, we will definitely be able to get out successfully!"

Behind him were several helmsmen who were steering the entire ship, all of them looking nervous and sweating profusely from their heads.

They hadn't seen this kind of scene in many years, but they didn't expect it to happen today.

The speed of the ship slowed down a lot, and almost everyone on board began to panic. Riders know that only by trusting the experienced helmsman will it be possible to break through the fog.

"Senior brother, is the situation really not optimistic?"

Zhang Linchen was very puzzled when he heard the sound of everyone discussing on the deck.

Wang Wu shook his head and said, "I haven't encountered this situation, and I need to wait and see." ”

Soon after, in the endless fog ahead, a ship slowly approached, covered in green, covered in various mosses and algae. Through these plants, you can also find the thick mottled rust hidden underneath, as if it has been floating in the water for thousands of years.

The ship was soon spotted by the crowd, and through the thin mist, some had bewildered expressions on their faces, others with solemn expressions. A small number of people were frightened and their eyes widened.

"There's a ship ahead!"

"Ghost ...... This is a ghost ship!"

"How did it happen?"

"The ghost ship is here, it's not coming, it's over...... We're done!"

"Why did the ghost ship appear, and where did we come to?"

......

The voices of the crowd came and went, and all their attention was focused on this "ghost ship".

After two breaths, Zhang Linchen also vaguely saw that a ship was slowly approaching in front of him, surrounded by mist, quite mysterious.

With the appearance of this ship, many people began to panic. But there are also people who don't understand the reason, so they ask the people around them, and after getting the results, their faces turn pale instantly.

In the control room of the ship, the captain stared blankly at the "ghost ship" that was gradually approaching, and his heart suddenly cooled in half.

His lips trembled slightly, and he said to the several helmsmen behind him: "Avoid it, quickly avoid it!"

The next moment, he came to the helmsman again, pushed him away, and took control of the wheel himself.

A steady stream of spiritual power in his hand poured into the wooden wheel, and then it rotated, and the whole ship began to change direction.

The ghost ship full of algae was silent, and the dead silence was terrifying.

A moment later, the two ships that were moving opposite each other happened to pass by, and if they were any longer, they would have collided directly.

Zhang Linchen stood by the railing and clearly saw that this ghost ship was not as huge as the one under his feet. On the surface, the appearance of the entire ship has not been damaged, and the hull configuration is relatively complete, so it is obvious that it has not been attacked by any foreign objects.

But what about the people on board?

"Are they all gone?" Zhang Linchen thought to himself.

The fog around the ghost ship seemed to be thicker, and the watchtowers, control rooms, and entrances to the cabins on the deck were all pitch black.

Zhang Linchen looked at the ink-like darkness, and suddenly a gust of wind hit, he had goosebumps all over his body, and he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Senior brother, don't look any further. Wang Wu suddenly reminded beside him.

Zhang Linchen was originally engrossed in staring at the ghost ship opposite, wanting to see what the difference was, but when his junior brother said this, he was suddenly startled.

"Something is wrong with this ship, my divine sense can't see through it, and it may be dangerous. Wang Wu explained.

Zhang Linchen knows that there are too many unknown crises in this world, not to mention things that so many people are afraid of, it is better to be careful.

He immediately moved away from the ghost ship and came to the other side of the ship.

In fact, everyone on the deck also hid far away, for fear that danger would find them, and it would be too late to cry at that time.

Of course, there were also dismissive people on board, who thought it was just a broken ship and nothing to fear. As for those legends, who knows whether they are true or not. However, they only thought about it in their hearts, and they didn't dare to say it, nor did they dare to really get close to the ghost ship.

The ghost ship swam silently past the ship, like a ghost, and gradually moved away.

Beginning in the fog, returning to the fog.

Seeing the ghost ship disappear without a trace, most of the people on the deck breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the pressure brought by this mysterious ghost ship was really a bit great.

Despite getting rid of the ghost ship, they still couldn't get out of the fog. It's been almost two hours of driving, and the fog ahead is still heavy, as if there is no end.

Knock - Knock - Knock - Knock - Knock

A dull sound appeared in everyone's ears, as if someone was beating a drum, and there was more than one, the sound was so loud that it was deafening.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Looks like someone is beating a drum!"

"Is there going to be something bad again?"

In a few moments, the drums disappeared, and the earth-shattering killing cries suddenly sounded, in all directions. At this time, someone noticed that the ship under their feet had stopped for some reason, and everyone was surprised.

At this time, the ship's management appeared in time, with a hint of panic in his expression, and he said loudly: "The ship's ...... The boat wasn't parked by us and we don't know what's going on!"

"Look, junior brother, the water surface has turned red!"

Zhang Linchen stood by the railing and found that the entire water surface had turned bright red, like human blood, very demonic, and there was no end in sight.

"Well, it suddenly changed color. Wang Wu said with a solemn expression.

Not only the two of them on the ship, but many other people found out about this strange phenomenon, and they were shocked and began to discuss.

Their ship seemed to be anchored in a sea of blood, surrounded by the sound of killing cries in the sky, like the charge of soldiers before the war, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Senior brother, do you feel that this killing cry is getting closer and closer!" Zhang Linchen frowned.

His heart was pounding at this loud noise, and a wave of uneasiness came over him.

Wang Wu said calmly: "There may be something approaching. ”

"There's a lot of fog in the distance that's starting to spread here, and there's a lot of ripples on the water. Zhang Linchen said with a slight squint.

In the depths of the thin mist, many thick mist suddenly appeared, and the blood-red water surface was accompanied by countless chaotic ripples.

Wang Wu probed with his divine sense, and immediately said, "Senior brother, what do you think these things look like?"

Zhang Linchen looked at the dense fog and ripples that were gradually coming, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
