Chapter 372 The girl in blood

The stairs formed by the condensation of maple leaf-like ice crystals extend downward from the clouds to a hundred thousand steps.

Even though Jiang Ling used the black Xpress Ring to jump through space, he was still unable to jump away from the steps, only shortening the distance.

When he didn't know how long it took him to reach the last step, the bottom was already touching the sea water, the blue waves were rippling, and the salty sea breeze could be heard close at hand.

"Is it finally over?"

Standing with his feet on the water, Jiang Ling turned around and looked at the ladder again, but as soon as he turned around, the ladder disappeared completely.

What appears behind is only the blue sky, with a few cotton-like white clouds floating on it, and as far as the eye can see, there is the boundless sea.

The setting sun shines in the west, reflecting the sea and sky. The orange-red glow is like the color of ink, rippling in the ripples of the blue waves.

Here, I don’t know where it is.

It must be far away from the entrance to Nagui Ruins, because Jiangling did not sense the existence of any large aquatic animals in this sea area.

"Xiaoqian, let's go back."

Nie Qian said "Hmm" and took out her white clam body again, like a big house floating on the water.

The white clam opened and the two of them entered, then closed it and followed the direction of the setting sun, returning far away.

When they arrived, they swam on the sea for more than three days before arriving at Guixu.

Three days had passed since I returned this time, but I was still at sea and still couldn't see the border.

Until the early morning of the fourth day, when the sky was almost white, the white clam shell, which was still swimming shallowly, hit something.

This made Xiaoqian, who was lying on Jiang Ling's body with her head lowered and sucking her mouth, hit her deep throat.

She choked until tears came out of her eyes and she coughed several times.

I wiped it on the top of the clam shell with my jade hand, and the square inch on top of the clam shell immediately became transparent.

Through this small window, she and Jiang Ling saw a huge thing in the darkness outside.

Jiang Ling touched her head and signaled that it was time for today. Then he stood up and said, "It's a boat."

Nie Qian: "Since it is a ship, it means it will be arriving soon."

However, just after saying these two sentences, they suddenly saw a person falling from the boat through the small window.

Their bodies were bleeding, their throats were cut, or they were stabbed several times, and their skin and flesh were cracked, which was shocking.

Judging from the clothing, they have quite local characteristics, and I don’t know what ethnic group they are.

Nie Qian: "Master, many people died outside."

Jiang Ling: “Would you like to go out and take a look?”

Nie Qian: "Okay, it's just time to get some fresh air."

The white jade clam shell opened, and the two people stepped out of the water.

At this time, the big ship outside was rocking in the huge waves.

There was no wind and three-foot waves on the sea. Now a huge wave came, at least fifteen or six feet high.

The boat bumped and rocked, and roars were heard one after another from above. From time to time, someone accidentally fell off the boat and fell into the sea.

The place where Jiang Ling and Nie Qian came out happened to be at the stern of the ship.

It was indeed not quite bright outside at this time, and it was half dark.

On the left and right sides in front of the big ship, there were several small boats right next to them. Several people were hanging on to the sides of the boats with flying ropes and were climbing up.

"It's a pirate!"

Jiang Ling recognized the identities of those climbing the zipline at a glance.

In the past, when the imperial court started shipping, many merchant ships would be intercepted by pirates at sea.

Moreover, most of the pirates came from Japan, a Japanese clan, and they often roamed the waters around Shandong, Zhejiang, Mining, and Guangdong. Japan was not a big place, but the thieves' nature was deep in their bones.

The imperial court repeatedly suppressed the situation and had no choice but to practice naval escort along the way.

Nie Qian was wearing a translucent white gauze skirt. Her small body had been very careful not to be seen by outsiders, and now she took the initiative to hide in Jiangling's pocket.

And Jiang Ling jumped lightly on the water, turned over along a wave of waves, and in the blink of an eye, quietly landed on the deck at the stern of the ship.

On the deck of the bow, pirates climbed up one after another. They had ferocious faces and laughed strangely, and they fought with the sailors on the ship, causing death and injury to each other.

Amidst the bursts of exclamations, a maid escorted a young girl and ran towards the stern of the boat.

But as soon as she entered the alleyway, a pirate chased her from behind and struck the maid with a knife.

The maid's body suddenly stiffened, and before she died, she pushed the girl forward and said something Jiang Ling couldn't understand.

The girl cried and ran, and finally came to the stern of the boat.

But because it was getting dark and the boat was shaking violently, she bumped into Jiang Ling without paying attention and fell into her arms.

But she thought Jiangling was also a pirate, so she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground on the spot, then hugged her knees and started crying.

"Seven-seven-five love!" (Father)

Jiang Ling understood this sentence.

Sure enough, it was a Japanese. The little girl was frightened and instinctively called for her father.

The pirate who raised his sword stepped forward and chased him, dancing with his straight sword and shouting: "Thunder Hengda." (Don't run)

But just as he was about to approach the stern of the ship, Jiang Ling caught the water droplets falling from the sea waves with his palm, and with a flick of his finger, the water droplets shot towards the pirates like bullets.

The pirate who was halfway through suddenly stopped, his head suddenly tilted back, blood spurted from the center of his eyebrows, his body tilted, and he fell into the sea as the ship shook.

Jiang Ling said to himself: "Could it be that we have arrived in Japan?"

Just as he finished speaking, two or three more pirates jumped out from near the stern of the ship.

As soon as they saw someone alive at the stern of the boat, they started to chop them with knives.

Jiang Ling only stretched out his hand to grab another handful of seawater from the waves, and shot it. The three pirates were all hit. Two of them fell into the sea while shaking, and one fell on the deck, with blood flowing out from his forehead.

The little girl's eyes widened at some point, looking at the person in front of her, and then at the pirate who had just died and fell in the corridor.

She dared to ask a question, but Jiang Ling failed to understand what she said this time.

She hesitated for a moment and changed her spoken language, which was very jerky, but she could barely communicate: "You... are not a pirate, are you?"

Jiang Ling was surprised and looked at the little girl: "Can you speak Chinese?"

The little girl also heard Jiang Ling's soliloquy and wanted to talk to him in Chinese.

When she received confirmation from the other party, she nodded quickly: "My father, I asked you to teach me the Chinese language. I have been learning it since I was two years old."

Probably the husband who taught her was also a half-baked person. He started learning Chinese at the age of two, and his learning was so substandard.

Jiang Ling: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a pirate."

At this moment, there were pirates approaching again. Jiang Ling grabbed another handful of sea water and flicked it with his fingers.

All pirates who appeared at the stern of the ship were killed by the water drops and fell into the sea.

On the deck in front, the sound of gold vessels chiming together continued.

With the sound of the conch horn, the remaining pirates suddenly left without knowing why.

Wherever you come from, go from there.

They jumped off the boat one after another, climbed into the boat, and rowed away quickly.

The little girl stood tremblingly and squatted behind for a while. After hearing no movement, she stood up and ran forward quickly.

Jiang Ling stood for a while and followed him to the front deck.

But as soon as they reached the front, they could smell the smell of blood all over the ship. Broken limbs were scattered all over the ground, and several heads rolled down.

The little girl screamed and threw herself on a corpse, crying and shouting sadly.

Jiang Ling stood aside silently and roughly sensed it with his spiritual mind. As the pirates retreated, there was no longer a second living person on the ship except the girl.
