It had been sailing safely for half a day, and seeing that the trip was about to get back on track, the old man changed his expression again and asked to return.

This time, he seemed to have forgotten even the taboo of the Dragon Lord, and without saying a word, he turned the rudder and prepared to return at full speed.

The five of them have been busy preparing for nearly half a month, and if they return to Longwang Port this time, they don't know when they will go to sea next time.

Although Lingzhi's soul was protected by a little fox, Tuchen didn't have much time to waste in vain, after all, now that they had completely lost contact with Linggu, they didn't know anything about the current orange spirit beast and Linggu's situation at this time.

Seeing that saying good things had no effect, Mao Hu grabbed the old man by the collar and carried him into the air: "Grandma's! Toast and don't eat and drink, right! Go out to sea calmly, you said that we want a big boat, you say that the price is not enough, we will add it, you say that the days are not waiting for us! Now that the time and place are favorable, you will regret it again! Playing Grandpa Mao as a rabbit, right?"

Mao Hu's eyes widened fiercely, just that expression and rough voice had already made people frightened, and the old man completely lost his previous domineering momentum, crying and begging with a sad face: "A few masters, it's not that the old man has a lot to do, it's just that the land of the Miao people can't go! Although I love money, I can't lose my life because of money, and I ask a few masters to be gracious, gracious......"

"You can't go, you can't go, you can't go! What's more, you just need to send us to the island, you don't have to go in with us, what's there to be afraid of. Saying that, Tuchen sighed heavily: "It's not just the price negotiated before, when we come back from our errands, this big ship will also be yours!"

The old man was unmoved, collapsed on the ground and waved his hand: "You don't know, near the small island where the Miao people are located, the surrounding sea is filled with smoke and poisonous gas, and no one can pass through alive. And it is rumored that the Miao people are ruthless, and that small island has never returned! Listen to my advice, it's still too late to turn back, and you don't want to send them to death......

"No one came back alive, that's because we didn't come!" Mao Hu snorted coldly: "Today's boat, you have to drive it, you have to drive it, you have to drive it if you don't open it!

Tuchen looked at the old man who was almost slumped on the deck and shook his head helplessly: "In that case, we don't have to be too embarrassed with you, you just need to send us to the border of the poisonous mist, and we will figure out the rest of the way." ”

The old man knew that he was now on the 'thief ship' and that it was impossible to go back, so he nodded in agreement, slowly got up and returned to the position of the rudder.

In the vast expanse of the sea, time seemed to fly by, and everyone only felt that the sun had just risen and then set again, and soon after setting it rose again. In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the big ship was moving fast on the sea, and at this time it no longer knew how many nautical miles it had sailed.

On the afternoon of the third day, Tuchen was standing on the deck with a sheepskin map trying to check the direction, when the hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, and then a muffled sound sounded from under the ship, and the big ship that was originally sailing at great speed instantly lost its power, and only drifted slowly with the wind and waves.

Mao Hu also ran out of the cabin when he heard the sound, glared at the old man and asked, "What's the matter, why didn't the boat leave?"

The old man was also at a loss, turned the rudder, went to the bottom of the cabin to check again, climbed back to the deck and waved his hand: "I can't go, the propeller at the bottom of the ship is broken, it is estimated that the aquatic weeds have been rolled, and I have to find a place to repair it on the shore." ”

Mao Hu's eyes narrowed: "Old man, don't play tricks, otherwise in this vast sea, no matter how much experience you have, you will feed the fish if you fall into the sea!"

The old man smiled bitterly: "What tricks can I play, it's really that the propeller is broken, and now even the rudder has no strength, I don't believe you can come and try it yourself." ”

Hearing this, Tuchen walked over and tried to turn the rudder, and sure enough, he found that the rudder at this time was like a windmill, and it could spin non-stop with a slight force, completely lacking the strength of the previous time when controlling the direction.

"If it's broken, find a way to fix it quickly, our brothers are not bad in water, you just tell us how to fix it." Saying that, Mao Hu had already taken off his coat, rolled up his arms and sleeves and prepared to dive.

The old man waved his hand: "Such a big boat, although it has no power, it is still constantly pushed forward by the wind and waves, and the speed cannot be underestimated." Even people with good water quality can't maintain this speed for maintenance, not to mention that ordinary people don't have such a big qi vein. ”

Mo Erha also heard the sound and walked out of the cabin: "We can't walk, we can't repair, we can't just float on the sea with the wind, right?"

The old man got up and raised one arm to measure the direction of the wind, and then nodded: "For now, it can only be like this, now it is the southwest wind direction, and there should be a desert island about thirty nautical miles forward, and then we can find a way where to dock to repair the ship, and then set sail again." ”

"Thirty nautical miles?" Tuchen frowned, "At the current speed, how long will it take to arrive, and what if the wind direction suddenly changes halfway?"

"If the wind doesn't change, it should be there tomorrow morning, and if the wind changes, there's nothing anyone can do about it......"

As he was talking, the little fox suddenly raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and laughed happily: "Look at it, isn't there an island in front of us, we can go there to repair the boat." ”

Everyone looked up when they heard the sound, and sure enough, they found that a black dot appeared a few nautical miles ahead, and as it got closer and closer, the black dot became bigger and bigger, and it was really a small island.

The old man looked at the island and pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I have been walking on this sea for decades, and I have been to this place many times, but I have never seen any small islands. Besides, there doesn't seem to be any living beings on this island, which is very strange, so let's go to the deserted island thirty miles away. ”

"Old man fisherman!"

Mao Hu glared again: "Don't delay the time, it's these journeys sooner or later, let's go back early, you don't have to play these fancy." The one in front of you is also a desert island, thirty miles away is still a desert island, and those who have a sick head are willing to seek the near and far, so don't talk nonsense and find a way to get to the shore!"

Since Mao Hu had already spoken so affirmatively, it was useless for Old Man Yu to say anything, so he obediently took out the rope and steered the ship to the island......
