Chapter 1101: Eating
The sunset slowly fell below sea level, and the night silently invaded the earth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere is only a bright moon and a few stars in the sky, which seems extremely lonely, Qiu Luhua ordered someone to lower the sails, leaving only a small side sail, all the lights are extinguished, and the big black ship is slowly floating on the sea, if you don't look carefully, it seems that you can't tell it.
At this moment, it was very close to the place where Chamberber had spoken, and there was a large amount of debris and corpses floating on the sea, which seemed to prove what he said, and the debris could occasionally hit the side of the boat and bounce off, and in the distance, the shadow of the desert island could be faintly seen. Chen Yanyan was directing the ship to sail in the warehouse, while Chu Xunyu was lying on the side of the ship and looking out, Wangchen said excitedly: "I don't know what that mermaid looks like, is it as beautiful as the legend?"
Miao Buyan asked unhappily, "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing, nothing. Wangchen waved his hand again and again, explaining awkwardly, "I'm just curious." ”
"Curiosity is often the beginning of bad learning. Miao Buyan looked at him coldly.
"Hahahaha......" Mu Yuanle gave a thumbs up and praised Miao Buyan, "My sister has been the sect leader in the end, every sentence is golden words, I visit Brother Chen, you lack such discipline as the sect leader's sister." ”
Sun Mengxuan took a thick cloak to put on Chu Xunyu, the sea was a little cold at night, and he heard everyone talking and interjected: "Didn't you say it, the male merman has a hateful face, and the female merman is a sinking fish and a goose, when the war was fought, I led my troops to the north, in the North Bay, I once destroyed a group of pirates on the road stronghold, it is said that they caught a wounded female merman, ready to buy a good price, but just landed was disrupted by us, the female mermaid also took the opportunity to fall into the sea and run away." ”
"Have you seen it?" Everyone was surprised, even Chu Xunyu didn't expect it.
"I saw a back at the time. Sun Mengxuan shook his head, "It's indeed graceful, but in a flash, it dived into the water, I didn't know if it was at the time, but I just said so." ”
"Then it's easy. Mu Yuan pointed at Chu Xunyu with his hand, "I'll leave it to you." ”
"Me?" Chu Xun said unclearly.
Mu Yuan waved his hand: "Wait a minute, if we see the hateful face, we will be cut to death, and the graceful will stay." ”
"Then what do you want to do?" Shang Qian asked, stretching out her head beside her.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... Mu Yuan hurriedly pointed at Wangchen and said, "I'm leaving it to you, Brother Wangchen, to satisfy his curiosity." ”
"I'm content, not curious at all. Wangchen hurriedly stopped talking.
Chu Xunyu pursed his lips and ridiculed Mu Yuan: "I said Bajie, you have been getting more and more unattractive recently, you will call me to hack to death at every turn, you and Wangchen will rob it yourself if you want to be 'graceful', I will not hack to death casually with any 'hateful face'." ”
Just as everyone was talking nonsense, the ship was unconsciously approaching its destination. This is a small island formed by a mess of coral reefs, small in size, as far as the eye can see, the terrain is chaotic, dark and unmoving. Chen Yanyan couldn't get off the boat, she had to take command, so Qiu Luhua jumped up from the mast and jumped over first, Chen Yanyan waved to everyone in the cabin, and everyone jumped out and quietly landed on the island.
There was only the sound of the tide constantly washing over the reef, because the island was too small, so after making sure that there was no one, he took out the torches he was carrying and lit them with fire folds, and handed one to Qiu Luhua, and looked at it again when the fire was lit...... It's just miserable. Scattered ropes, knives and sticks, and torn fishing nets were everywhere, as well as ...... The stump of the person, there are traces of blood on the ground, Mu Yuan accidentally stepped on a soft thing, raised it to see, it turned out to be a human eyeball, Mu Yuan rubbed his foot on the reef disgustingly, wanted to rub the soles of his shoes, and did not forget to ridicule Wangchen: "This is the female mermaid you are looking for? ”
Qiu Luhua looked left and right for a long time, frowned and said nothing, Chu Xunyu asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Luhua squatted down, reached out and picked at the crack in the stone, felt out a slimy black triangular scale, put it under his nose and smelled it, stood up and threw it away, and said with some doubts: "Something is wrong." ”
"How?"
Qiu Luhua asked rhetorically: "Do you know why the merman has been a legend for so many years?"
Everyone shook their heads, but Mu Yuan reacted quickly and replied first: "Because no one has seen it." ”
"Not bad. Qiu Luhua nodded, waved the scales in his hand and said, "This scale is a male merman, it's not wrong at all, I recognize it, because I've dealt with these monsters from the depths of the sea before, but it shouldn't be like this here." ”
Qiu Luhua simply recalled the beginning: Qiu Luhua was a child, when he was not famous in the rivers and lakes, he followed the master and saw the mermaid on the island in the depths of the ocean, as in the legend, the male target is hateful, and the female is graceful, but the most terrifying thing is that their singing is graceful and breathtaking, most of the martial arts cultivators do not practice mental exercises, so it is easy to be tricked, Qiu Luhua's master and apprentice were both bewitched, and there are still scars on their bodies, but there is one thing that is very special, that is, the shark people never eat on the shore, they are all bewitched by human beings and then drag human beings into the depths of the sea to eat, and there is no trace on the shore, so over the years, there have often been missing ships and sailors at sea, and the bodies cannot be found, leaving only legends. But now it is very strange, there are blurred traces of flesh and blood everywhere on the shore, if the helmsman lied before, it is okay to say, but how to explain the scales in his hand? This thick black scale is indeed on the male merman, everything seems to be inexplicable.
"Maybe they want to change places for breakfast today?" Mu Yuan shrugged, "Isn't this kind of thing as people please?"
Everyone gave him a blank look, and Qiu Luhua was no exception: "It stands to reason that the habits of a race will not change so easily, and the helmsman also said that the appearance of those sharks has white bones exposed, which is different from what I saw back then, the sharks are all plump and strong, they live in the deep sea, the bottom of the sea is cold and dark, and they have a lot of ointment in their bodies to keep them warm, so human beings use them as everlasting lights, if the mermaids lose the ointment, then it also means that they will die." ”
"If it's another monster?" Chu Xunyu asked again.
"It's unlikely. Qiu Luhua shook his head, "This is a dense route for smuggling goods, there are a lot of ships passing by, the Skeleton Valley has already cleaned up all the surrounding area, what small sects of the three religions and nine streams, sea monsters, etc., are almost extinct, it is impossible for someone to be so bold overnight to run to the territory of the Skeleton Valley to blatantly spread wild, and I have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have never heard of any monsters in the sea that can run to the shore to eat people and do evil." ”
Just as everyone was discussing this matter, suddenly there was a light flashing on the boat, Qiu Luhua was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "It's not good, there is something on the ship." Everyone was shocked, thinking that the female dependents were still on the boat, they quickly flew up and flew back to the ship.
It seems that the ship was not attacked, and the light signal was indeed sent by Chen Yanyan, Qiu Luhua had ordered everyone to extinguish the lights before coming, and there must be a problem with calling the police at this moment. It turned out that Chen Yanyan hurriedly recalled Qiu Luhua and told him that the spies who had just flown out returned to Ma Yu, and more than 100 miles away in the southeast, he found a large shadow floating under the ocean, if it was confirmed, there should be a deep-sea monster swimming by, but it was hidden in the sea, and it was not confirmed what kind of monster it was.
"Nautical charts. Qiu Luhua ordered someone to look at the map, and his subordinates pointed to the sea area where they had just found the trace.
"Is it normal?" asked Wangchen worriedly.
Chen Yanyan shook his head on the side: "Of course it's not normal, the monsters in the sea are running around, even at the expense of revealing their bodies, which can only mean one thing." ”
"What's the matter?"
"What are they afraid of......" Chu Xun replied faintly.
"The Southeast is not where we're going. Qiu Luhua ordered, "That direction has deviated from the normal sea area, pass my words, go full speed, return to our normal course as soon as possible, and cater to the sentry ships in the Valley." ”
