Volume 2 Human Volume Chapter 63 The Man Who Carries the Coffin
It is impossible to track down a monk who has gone away in the misty sea, but tracking a wooden boat with a dozen people on board in the misty sea is not an impossible thing for a monk to do.
The debris of food thrown by mortals on the wooden boats, the discarded household utensils, and the smell of blood left behind by the killing of sea fish and ghosts formed a trail that could be faintly captured by monks with five senses in the misty sea.
Li Guifan began to follow the trajectory of the wooden ship a few days ago.
The average time between ghost appearances has doubled, and the demon's strength has regressed dramatically. These sudden improvements, of course, he who has never been confident will not directly regard them as changes brought about by his good luck because he is a child of destiny.
He quickly guessed that Jian Jiu and the others were not dead, and had found a way to suppress the growing strength of the ghosts.
So did they also find a way out of the sea of fog?
When he stumbled back to the original island, he was somewhat surprised to find that Kenjiu had chosen not to go with Edgeworth, but to choose a wooden boat that only mortals needed to cross.
Jian Jiu didn't die, he couldn't get out of the misty sea on his own.
Now if he wants to survive, he needs to do two things, kill Jian Jiu and them, and find a way out.
And the possibility of these two things may be on the trajectory left by the wooden boat.
He followed the vague trail left by the wooden boat, and as the trajectory followed, he became more and more sure that Jian Jiu and the others should have found their way, because the trajectory of the wooden boat was chaotic and directionless at first, but then it kept moving in the same direction.
One direction? In the misty sea, where they can't tell any direction at all, on what basis do they maintain one direction?
As Ye Mingke said, Li Guifan is an extremely smart person, he just doesn't trust himself, so he is only good at borrowing others to achieve his goals.
After being inspired by the wooden boat, he also noticed the strange movement of the fog, and deduced that the misty sea was shrinking, and as long as he went against the fog, he could probably get out of this strange sea.
But not long after he deduced this, due to the limitation of his vision, he directly encountered the wooden boat, and he was sure that Kenjiu and the others had noticed his presence.
At that moment, he was sweating profusely with fear, and he thought he was going to die soon.
He knew Jian Jiu, he knew Ying Kui, he knew Song Mingyu, he met them when he escaped from the battle, even if they didn't kill him on the spot, he wouldn't be able to let him go, at least he would send himself to the sect.
And there is Jian Jiu who is higher than him, and he can't escape.
But under the fear, he still fled immediately, it was just a desperate resistance, but he soon found that none of them had chased after Jian Jiu.
He was very good at people's hearts, and he soon smelled an unusual opportunity.
Why do they use wooden boats?
Why don't they hunt themselves down?
Isn't the state of Jianjiu and Song Mingyu abnormal in the flashing of the Hong just now?
If he wants to survive, he needs to do two things, kill Jian Jiu and them, and find a way out.
He's found his way out.
There is only one thing left.
He approached the wooden boat again, and saw Jian Jiu and Song Mingyu, whose hair was as white as frost and snow and whose faces were withered after only a few days.
Is this the price you paid for suppressing the demons?
He knew what he had to do.
He looked up at the three men standing in the cabin again, then turned and disappeared into the mist.
"What will he do?" Ying Kui turned his head and asked Ye Mingke beside him.
"What do you think?" Ye Mingke asked rhetorically.
"That guy won't let us go. After we go out, he will either die in the Misty Sea, and once he is out of the Misty Sea, he will be on the wanted warrant of the sect. Ying Kui pondered.
"How did we get to the point where we don't die?" Song Mingyu was a little surprised.
"He's just using us as tools. With such a team leader, sooner or later we will be left behind. ”
Ying Kui's face was gloomy, and his brows were furrowed.
"But would he dare to do anything to the three of us?"
"Dare to go and come back, he should see that we can't do anything about him now. Ye Mingke shrugged his shoulders and said.
Jian Jiu lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said.
"Although he may have seen that we were not in the right place. But it shouldn't be able to fight. ”
It wasn't difficult for him to guess that it was us who had found a way to suppress the growth of the ghost's strength. If he kills us, he will beware of a ghost attack. ”
"With his cautious and conservative nature, he wouldn't do that. ”
"That's it. Now we can't clean him up, and he doesn't dare to deal with us. When you're out, take care of your own chores. ”
"I won't be with you. I just finished fighting ghosts, tired and hungry. ”
Ye Mingke touched his stomach and yawned again.
In the special environment of the sea of mist and evil ghosts, the enemies of the two sides, who were not dying, were separated by a distance of only a few dozen zhang, and passed by peacefully and steadily.
It's kind of fun to think about.
When the sun was approaching, Ye Mingke hastily ate a meal and prepared to sleep with his clothes, but after sleeping for a while, he was "rubbed" again, which suddenly woke Ye Mingke up from his light sleep.
Ye Mingke's perception range was thirty zhang, and just now Li Guifan approached within thirty zhang of the wooden boat.
"What's wrong?" Ying Kui, who was in charge of the vigil, noticed that Ye Mingke's demeanor was different, and asked out loud.
"It's Li Guifan, he's still behind. Ye Mingke said angrily.
Ye Mingke has to guard against the appearance of ghosts throughout the day, so he can only sleep peacefully within a few hours after he has just killed the ghosts, and it is really annoying that his precious sleep time is wasted.
"Forget it. He probably just wanted to go out after us, and he shouldn't be able to do anything, so I'll go back to sleep. ”
Ye Mingke thought carefully for a while, shook his head a little helplessly, and then changed his position, ready to sleep again.
But this night he still slept unsteadily, Li Guifan appeared near the wooden ship several times like a ghost, and each time the direction and distance were different.
His powerful aura was as bright as a torch in the dark night in Ye Mingke's perception, even if Ye Mingke wanted to ignore it, he still woke up subconsciously every time.
It gave him quite a headache.
He sat up wearily, reaching out and rubbing his brow vigorously.
Although there is still a feeling of sleepiness, I can't sleep.
"Li Guifan, this guy probably doesn't just want to follow behind and engage in so many moths. He thought to himself, preparing to talk to Jian Jiu and them tomorrow.
He shook his head, and suddenly his face changed, as if he sensed something terrifying.
"What the hell!" his whisper of surprise just came out.
The boat seemed to have been hit by something huge and shook violently, Ye Mingke's body tilted, and he held down the board in time to stabilize his body.
"What's that?" At the same time, Ying Kui, who was on vigil, shouted in surprise from outside the cabin.
Ye Mingke got up, lifted the curtain and walked out of the cabin directly.
At this time, it was dawn, and the entire sea of mist was gray, dull and depressing, and the already not too bright sky light could only shine a lot of dim light and shadow after penetrating the layers of fog.
But it was in these dim lights that suddenly many huge black shadows poured out, intertwined with each other to form a line of tide, rushing towards the wooden boat.
As the dark shadows approached, the eyes of everyone on the ship widened, they were monstrous and terrifying monsters.
There was a huge sea python with a head on both its head, and the two heads were competing with each other to swim rapidly, and there were also huge turtles like small mountains moving silently and slowly forward with the tide, and there were three feet long golden carp suddenly jumping out of the sea.
These are the most eye-catching, and under the undercurrent, there are many black shadows swimming in the opposite direction of the wooden boat, passing by the wooden boat, running in the opposite direction.
"What's going on?" Song Mingyu subconsciously leaned over to Jian Jiu's side and asked with some horror.
"Is this a beast tide?" Ying Kui stared at the huge creatures that swept in front of him, and his tone was a little uncertain, "Why are so many monsters suddenly appearing?"
"Many of these are strange creatures that can only be found in the misty sea. Jian Jiu also looked at these strangely shaped and strange creatures in front of him with vigilance.
"Strange creatures that only exist in the Sea of Mist?" Ye Mingke looked at these creatures and his eyes lit up, "We may be about to get out of the Sea of Mist." ”
"Why?" Ying Kui asked as he looked at Ye Mingke in confusion.
"You said earlier that the Sea of Mist is defined by the scope of the Mist. These creatures generally only live in the sea of mist. ”
"And we speculate that the Misty Sea is shrinking, and these creatures may have been forced to migrate because of the convergence of the misty sea fog, which indicates that we are close to the boundary of the Misty Sea. ”
Ye Mingke was quick to think and analyzed logically and clearly.
Hearing that they were about to break out of the sea of fog, all the faces of everyone couldn't help but show joy.
But before everyone had time to rejoice, the boat shook violently again, and a small sea python hit the wooden boat while swimming forward, and the sea python turned over violently and slapped at the wooden boat.
"Smack"
There was a muffled sound from the side wall of the wooden boat.
Everyone looked around, only to find that after a short while, they were already surrounded by many sea monsters in front of them.
"Bell" "Bell"
Ye Mingke and Jian Jiu drew their swords, and Tabo held their swords to protect the fragile wooden boat in the beast tide.
The sword flickered, and the blood splattered to drive away and kill several small sea monsters that crashed into the wooden boat.
But the situation soon became more critical, and Jian Jiu and Ye Mingke, who did not dare to use their spiritual power, were extremely difficult to face these sea monsters.
The wooden ship is crumbling in the onslaught of sea monsters.
At this time, there were many natural enemies among these sea monsters that were hostile to each other, and they tore and devoured each other in the process of the surging beast tide, stirring up the sea with ups and downs and blood flowing.
"Bang" "Bang"
A heavy footstep that resounded through the sea suddenly sounded, and a huge figure appeared between the sea and the sky. The crowd looked up.
I saw only a few cyclops standing in the sky and the earth, carrying a huge wooden coffin on their backs, stepping on the sea and bowing down.
