Chapter 235 Sea beast? Demon! The product of the union between man and demon?(1/3)
At night...feeling the gusts of sea breeze blowing in front of him, Yun Jiuqing stood on the deck and yawned with a tired expression. Then he leaned on the railing on the edge of the merchant ship with his elbows in boredom, and gently used his palms to
He held one side of his face and muttered: "No one has ever told me that sailing is such a boring thing."
Yun Jiuqing looked forward and found that he could only see a dark sea and hear all kinds of splashing sounds. Only when he looked up could he see the stars in the sky and a
There is a very dim crescent moon. Apart from that, nothing else is visible.
This is obviously a little different from the sailing she imagined. After all, in her expectation... Such a magnificent sea, no matter how long you look at it, you will never get tired of it. And you may be able to see many novel sea fish.
.In fact, it was relatively novel in the first two days, but it became numb in the next two days.
Apart from the sea water, she could see nothing else. As for any novel sea fish? The merchant ship would not stop specially to catch fish in the sea and bring them up for her to see. So, she was a
No fish in the lake were seen.
Unless... Yun Jiuqing is willing to dive directly into the water and see as much as he can in the sea, otherwise he won't be able to see anything. But the problem is... in this rough sea, if you jump in, will you still have a chance?
Swimming back?
Thinking of this, Yun Jiuqing couldn't help but shudder. She felt that there was little chance that she could swim back. After all, she was not particularly good at swimming.
What's more... the owner of the trading company said that there are sea monsters in the sea. This sea monster is like a monster, threatening every merchant ship.
What if, suddenly, it plunges in, and then there is a sea beast with a big mouth below?
Yun Jiuqing felt that although he was a monk, the sea was the domain of other sea beasts.
Especially in the sea water, I want to fight with sea beasts.
It's true...it's a bit embarrassing for her.
"Ah..." Yun Jiuqing raised his head and sighed: "Why is sailing so boring? In these few days, the only fun is that Xing Fengzi gets seasick. A grown man of eighteen or nineteen years old, on the boat
He actually vomited until the sky was dark. Other than that, there seemed to be no unnecessary disturbance. Taking a boat out to sea was as boring as a monastic retreat."
Just as Yun Jiuqing finished speaking like this, she suddenly noticed that the hull of the ship trembled suddenly. Such tremors were so violent that she almost slipped her feet and almost fell down.
Inside the sea water. Fortunately, Yun Jiuqing hurriedly grabbed the railing at the edge of the merchant ship at this critical moment of the unexpected incident, otherwise he would have really fallen.
"What's going on?" Her face was full of astonishment, and she hurriedly looked around. Then she found that some sailors on the ship were also panicking. Logically speaking, these experienced men
A sailor wouldn't be inexplicably panicked just because the ship's hull suddenly trembled, right?
"It's hit the rocks! It's hit the rocks!" Yun Jiuqing only heard a sailor with a big beard yelling in panic: "Hurry up and go down to the bottom cabin to see which cabin is leaking! Once a leak is found,
Just quickly block the gap, and if it can't be blocked, close the cabin!"
"We were sailing along a previous route, how could we inexplicably run aground on the rocks?" An older sailor next to him gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "The ship must have hit something strange, maybe a big fish.
.”
"Where did the big fish come from? They didn't give way to such a big boat?" Another person shouted with an ugly face: "We are very likely to encounter... a sea beast in the sea! Damn it, it's not easy to go out to the open sea.
, unexpectedly encountered such a ghost again!"
"Hiss! Sea beast? Quickly take out all the gongs, drums and so on, and beat them all to see if you can scare it away! If you don't scare it away, we will be doomed!"
"Prepare the fish spears for hunting fish! If that doesn't work, we'll fight that damn sea beast! If it gets hurt, he should... retreat wisely, right?"
"One of our ships was sunk by a sea monster, killing more than twenty sailors."
"Don't be afraid, don't panic! Don't think so bad, maybe it's really just a big fish?"
"Quick, quick! Wake up the people sleeping in the cabin!"
"No need to shout, won't they be able to wake up?"
"..."
A series of panicked shouts made Yun Jiuqing vaguely understand what happened. Could it be that a sea monster really appeared? This made her expression become quite strange. She just complained. During the voyage,
My life was a bit boring, and then the ship was attacked by sea monsters for no apparent reason; this should...not be caused by my own crow's mouth, right?
Just when Yun Jiuqing's mind was filled with thoughts, she found that the ship under her feet was shaking more violently than before. Such a shaking almost made her legs tremble. At the same time, because she happened to be standing next to the bed,
Taking advantage of the very dim moonlight in the sky...she suddenly noticed that there was a shadow on the sea below that looked very strange!
"Is this?" Yun Jiuqing's eyes were gradually widening, and the pupils in his eyes were slowly shrinking, because he felt a vague sense of threat in the shadow on the sea surface. Such
A vague sense of threat... made her feel that something was not good!
"No!" When the threat suddenly turned into a crisis, Yun Jiuqing hurriedly pulled her head back. At the same time, she noticed that the ends of her hair seemed to be touched by something.
It's like it's been cut off. You can even feel the howling wind in your ears.
With a quick glance out of the corner of her eye, she could see an object that looked like a sharp arrow flying past her scalp. If Yun Jiuqing's reaction had been a little slower, it was very likely that such an object would have been
Pierced her head.
She was full of lingering fears, and layers of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She was just a little bit away from risking her life! Looking at the sea in front of her, the expression on her face was not special.
nice.
"Gone!" At the same time, she also noticed that the shadow beside the boat disappeared without a trace. It was as if the other party had never appeared in front of her.
Yun Jiuqing's brows furrowed deeply: "Could this be a sea beast? Where has it gone? I didn't notice it was gone at all, was it too fast?"
Just as she said this, he heard an exclamation not far behind him.
"Sea! There seems to be something in the sea. Come and see!"
Not good!
Yun Jiuqing immediately turned around and looked back.
I saw a young sailor, looking at the sea below.
Seeing this, Yun Jiuqing immediately took a breath. She didn't expect that this young sailor was more courageous than herself. Without knowing what was underneath, he dared to stick his head out like this. Could it be that he
Aren't you afraid of death? Yun Jiuqing had no choice but to speak hastily: "Don't stick your head out! It's very possible that it's the sea beast you call it!"
Yun Jiuqing's shout made the young sailor stunned for a moment. It was also at this moment that the sailor vaguely saw a shadow emerging from the sea. When he saw that scene, that young face
The words were gradually filled with expressions of horror: "Weird...monster..."
Whoosh!!!
In the sea, an object like a sharp arrow flew out instantly, shooting towards the young sailor's throat at a lightning speed! And at such a speed, even some ascetics
, may not be able to react, let alone an ordinary sailor.
The young sailor only saw a small object that seemed to appear in front of him. The object became bigger and bigger. He wanted to move his body to avoid the attack of the object, but his body was not that fast at all.
Reaction!
despair!
However, when his face was full of despair, suddenly a big hand stretched out from his side. And such a big hand grabbed the young sailor's back collar, as if carrying a small
Like a cat, he lifted it up easily.
This resulted in the young sailor narrowly dodging the incoming object. Then, he felt that the person who had lifted him up seemed to have loosened his grip. Then he sat down on his butt.
On a wet deck.
The young sailor looked back gratefully, but almost stopped breathing because he saw... a very tall and sturdy figure, standing next to him like a demon-suppressing iron tower.
Such a deterrent force made him swallow the words of gratitude he wanted to blurt out. Obviously, the person who can bring him such a sense of oppression is naturally Fan Wu!
Fan Wu ignored the young sailor squatting on the ground, his eyes looking at the sea below.
"Tsk..." Fan Wu smiled: "It seems that this voyage will not be boring."
"Master Fan Wu, Master Fan Wu, Master Fan Wu!"
A slightly panicked voice came.
Then I saw Huo Zhijin, Huo Dongjia from Huo's Shipping Company, trying hard to move his two fat thighs, leaning forward in this direction, and ran over in panic: "I...I heard the sailors say,
Is it true that there are sea monsters attacking? Is it true...are there really sea monsters attacking at this time? How many are they? Where are they? Are they in the sea?"
The sinking of a merchant ship by Huo's Shipping Company gave Huo Zhijin, the owner of Huo's Shipping Company, some psychological shadow. As a result, now that a similar situation has occurred, he has become a little confused, and his heart is filled with confusion.
Fear was instantly evoked. So... when he spoke in a hurry, the words he spoke seemed a bit incoherent.
Huo Zhijin is just an ordinary shipping owner. He has not betrayed any major forces. At the same time, his family has no monastic methods passed down. He is just an ordinary wealthy businessman. He knows that there will be sea beasts on the route.
Even though he still dared to go to sea, he had mustered up a lot of courage.
In the past few days, Huo Zhijin has been praying silently not to encounter any sea monsters. Because they only have one merchant ship here. Once this merchant ship sinks, then his Huo's Shipping Company
My boss has to lose his life in this place.
In this situation, could he not be afraid? The emotion of fear was already written on his face. Although he knew that as his boss, he should calm down at this moment, but the fear that emerged in his heart
, is uncontrollable.
Nowadays, the three "monastics" on the ship have become Huo Zhijin's three life-saving straws and the three backbones of the ship!
And these three "taoists"... were naturally Fan Wu, Yun Jiuqing, and He Xingfengzi. Although Fan Wu was not a Taoist, Huo Zhijin regarded Fan Wu as a Taoist.
Looking at the panicked Huo Zhijin, Fan Wu said: "The sea beast... is naturally in the sea."
Fan Wu continued: "As for their number and what they look like..."
To be continued...
