Chapter 191 Three Islands, Wonderland!

The darkness is heavy, like a ferocious beast that wants to devour people, the sea breeze keeps roaring, and the silence is hoarse.

Looking into the distance, Zhao Cang's heart beat more and more.

His intuition from so many years of military service told him that what happened today was probably even more uncontrollable than he imagined.

"General."

At this moment, Zhao Cang's lieutenant quickly came to Zhao Cang's side, his expression extremely serious.

"The exploration ship has reported that there are multiple unknown currents thirty miles ahead. Should we continue to retreat? Avoid this current to avoid impact on the fleet."

They are all veteran navy generals, so this is also the most reasonable routine operation.

The fleet is now at the junction of deep sea and shallow sea, and this sea area is a relatively safe area.

And for shallow sea waters, the ship has very detailed charts.

Even in this dark night, as long as you sail according to the chart, you will still be sure to sail towards the shore.

"Unknown water flow? What exactly is going on?"

Zhao Cang asked in a solemn voice, but did not give the order immediately.

His only answer was to shake his head.

"It's too dark. Our exploration ship can only make a rough judgment and doesn't dare to get too close."

The deputy general said in a solemn voice.

Zhao Cang was silent and nodded.

And at this moment, just as Zhao Cang was about to order the fleet to continue to retreat, Zhao Cang's pupils suddenly shrank.

In his eyes, in the limit area visible to the naked eye ahead, the water surface was rolling crazily in a very unusual way.

"It's a big school of fish."

The deputy general beside him said in shock.

They are all navy generals with many years of experience. They know clearly what causes the abnormal flow of water, visible to the naked eye.

"Have someone go get some nets and bring them up."

Zhao Cang ordered in a calm voice.

"yes."

The deputy general nodded and turned around to make arrangements.

About half an hour later.

When several sergeants appeared in front of Zhao Cang with seven or eight nets of fish, Zhao Cang frowned even more when he saw the extremely strange-looking sea fish lying on the deck.

Although he is not a fisherman, as a navy general, he still has some basic understanding of fish types.

But he couldn't recognize any of these sea fish.

"General, my family has been fishermen for generations. Most of these fish are deep-sea fish and generally cannot be caught."

"It's really strange. It's rare to encounter one of these deep-sea fish on weekdays, but today they all swarmed up and swam as hard as they could to the shore."

One of the sergeants carrying the net said.

Hearing these words, Zhao Cang's heart felt as if a big stone had been dropped, and it became heavier and heavier.

All signs indicate that this sea area is undergoing incomprehensible but incredible changes.

After making a decision for a moment, Zhao Cang turned around and walked quickly to the cabin, while the others were waiting on the deck.

After burning the incense, Zhao Cang walked out of the cabin, holding a note in his hand.

"Immediately Feiying sent a letter to the Chief Secretary of Shandong, asking him to send an envoy to Beijing to report the matter to the imperial court."

Zhao Cang handed the note to the waiting lieutenant.

The current development and weirdness of the matter have exceeded the scope of Zhao Cang's control. He must report the matter to the court, otherwise if the disaster occurs and he is reported again, he will inevitably be guilty of negligence.

"yes!"

The deputy general also knew the seriousness of the matter, repeatedly clasped his fists and accepted the order, and quickly acted.

And at the same time.

The sea area hundreds of miles away from the fleet was vast and dark, with thick fog and thick fog, making it difficult to see even one's fingers.

In this thick fog, a large ship sailed in this ink-like darkness. Due to the existence of the thick fog, all the moonlight was cut off. Except for the lights on the ship, there was no trace of light.

The little sparks on the ship, seen from a distance, looked faint and dim in the darkness, as if they were about to go out at any moment.

"Brother Bao, do you still want to continue?"

At this time, inside the cabin.

Yang Qing looked at Xiaobao sitting opposite him. After being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.

Although he has always believed in his brother Bao unconditionally, now he has begun to waver because he has been sailing at full speed and still hasn't found anything.

There is thick fog ahead, as if it will never end.

After several hours of sailing at full speed, nothing happened yet. In Yang Qing's opinion, it was the blessing of the gods.

After all, during these few hours, we were traveling completely blind, and there was always the possibility of hitting a rock and capsizing, and the whole ship being destroyed.

"continue."

Xiaobao took a sip of hot tea and said in a deep voice.

Things have progressed to this point, and there is no reason not to move forward.

And judging from the current situation, there is no option to retreat.

"Brother Bao, I just summoned some old masters on the ship to find out where we are."

"but…"

At this point, Yang Qing fell silent.

All the master craftsmen on the ship tried their best, but they couldn't figure out the current position of the ship.

In other words, they were lost in the thick fog of the deep sea.

Being lost at sea and losing your direction is tantamount to a death sentence.

Xiaobao didn't say anything, just reached out and patted Yang Qing on the shoulder.

"Let the brothers on board have a good dinner, and then increase the speed."

Finish this sentence.

Xiaobao stood up and walked out of the cabin.

He has no other choice now but to keep fighting.

Walking slowly on the deck, in the thick fog.

Xiaobao raised his hand, but he was so close that he couldn't even see his own fingers clearly.

'Is it wrong?'

Xiaobao is asking himself.

Thinking about it now, he did feel a little regretful.

To be more precise, it was too impulsive.

"Brother Bao, be careful."

Yang Qing also walked out of the cabin and followed quickly.

"The fog is too heavy, it's safer to go back to the cabin."

After saying that, he dragged Xiaobao into the cabin.

Suddenly, the ship's hull shook violently.

"What's going on?!"

Yang Qing's face changed with shock, he yelled loudly, and wanted to call a few people to come out and ask questions.

However, the only response to him was anxious panic. Even the old sailors were confused about the situation and could only try their best to maintain the stability of the ship.

The ship was shaking, and it became more violent at this time, giving people a vague feeling that the ship was about to capsize.

At this moment, Xiaobao was staring straight ahead, his eyes shining, and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

"Yang Qing, look quickly."

Xiaobao tried his best to stand still and raised his hand to point.

I saw a ray of bright light shining through the dense darkness.

The light shining through means exit.

"Quick, pass on the order and continue to speed up!"

Xiaobao quickly ordered. Yang Qing on the side was stunned for a moment, and then he looked up. When he saw the light, he no longer hesitated.

This light is the last hope for them.

Yang Qing hurriedly got out of the cabin and urged the sailors to speed up, while the sailors on the deck desperately pulled the sails to ensure that the speed would not slow down.

The entire ship, amidst violent vibrations and shaking, crazily raised its sails and speeded up, heading towards the light in the dark and thick fog, breaking through the water.

A cup of tea…

A stick of incense…

Half an hour…

The light that is clearly right in front of us seems to be within reach, but it has been unable to come close.
To be continued...
