Hearing Xu Zun's question, Shen Xingran let out a series of sighs.
"Speak quickly!" Xu Zun urged, "This place may be filled with poisonous gas again at any time. Tell me quickly, is the prince here?"
"No...no..." Shen Xingran hesitated, "His Royal Highness, he...he is missing!"
"What? Well, this is nonsense!" Xu Zun said, "If you weren't missing, why would I bring so many people to look for you?
"Tell me quickly, what happened to you?"
"We...we..." Shen Xingran lowered his head and said, "We were attacked by the sea monster. His Royal Highness the Prince's ship sank. I'm afraid...I'm afraid...the chances are bad..."
"..." Xu Zun was speechless and couldn't think of anything to say for a while.
"What?" Huo Anu on the side was surprised, "Are you kidding me? Where did the sea monster come from? Are there monsters in the sea?"
"Yes, yes!" Shen Xingran said with certainty, "The sea monster is huge and completely black. None of our warships are its opponents, and our Tianfu warship was also destroyed by it!"
At this time, everyone in the hall was evacuating, and the bands and dancers all gathered around Shen Xingran.
"this……"
Only then did Shen Xingran realize that he might be the only one of the prince's guards at present. These people were leaderless and were obviously waiting for his instructions.
"Okay!" Seeing this, Xu Zun asked again, "Are you sure...the prince is not here?"
"Yes!" Shen Xingran nodded vigorously.
"Okay," Xu Zun said to everyone, "Let's get ready quickly and leave here first! Well... that... that..."
Having said this, Xu Zun's eyes turned to the Crown Princess in the distance.
But the princess was still slumped on the cold ground, looking completely lost, like a body that had been emptied out.
"Oh..." Shen Xingran realized the Crown Princess's problem and hurriedly said to a dancer in a red robe, "Yingying, go help the Crown Princess!"
"Oh, yes..." The dancer in red hurriedly ran to the Crown Princess with several other dancers and helped her up.
"Let's go!" Xu Zun said, "Let's get back to the boat first!"
Just like that, everyone in the hall packed up their personal belongings and began to move.
Although the ships docked at the dock can no longer sail far away, there is still no problem in carrying these people out.
Xu Zun calculated silently, and when everyone was counted, there were approximately sixty or seventy people.
Originally, Mad Knife Goddess suggested going to the kitchen to bring something, but Xu Zun did not agree.
The supplies on their warships are sufficient for these people to use, and they can no longer risk transporting supplies.
Sure enough, when everyone paddled along the waterway, they could see that the oil slick on the water was cracking.
It is estimated that it won't be long before the poisonous gas under the water will be released again.
And just as everyone rowed out, they also experienced a strange sight they had never seen in their lives.
Since there was no oil slick in the distance of the waterway, as they rowed farther and farther, the poisonous gas gradually invaded, allowing everyone to see the brand new attic with red lanterns hanging in the blink of an eye again.
However, as everyone adjusted their breathing, those attics instantly turned into ruins, with only broken walls and rotten wood visible.
Gu Ke
In this way, between the two scenes switching back and forth, everyone finally paddled out of the waterway and came to the open sea.
Instead of dissipating, the dense fog became thicker. However, as the sky became brighter, the visibility felt much better than last night.
When they crossed the waterway, Xu Zun saw clearly that the huge Tianfu ship was indeed leaning on the coast.
But there were many eye-catching and spectacular cracks on the side of the giant ship, as if it had been violently attacked!
It is really hard to imagine that such a huge warship should be the overlord of the ocean. What on earth can make the Tianfu giant ship so scarred...
When everyone rowed past the Tianfu giant ship, the warriors were all stunned. They had never seen such a huge battleship.
"The boat..." Xu Zun heard the dancing beauties talking behind him, "There are a lot of our things on the boat! My makeup, ambergris, and several sets of dance costumes..."
"Yes," said the other, "my sachet and money bag are up there! Can you go up and get them?"
"Okay," Shen Xingran turned around and said, "Those are all external things. There's no guarantee that the mist will be fine. It's better to save your life!"
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun whispered in Shen Xingran's ear, "it seems that the Tianfu giant ship has been attacked. What happened? Why are you here?"
"It's like this," Shen Xingran knew the secret of the matter and replied in a low voice, "After the East China Sea mission was attacked by the sea monster, only the Tianfu giant ship survived, but it was also seriously injured and seriously damaged.
“Then we got lost at sea and somehow ended up here!
"Maybe the giant ship had too deep a draft and ran aground! Then..." Shen Xingran tried to recall, "We couldn't move, so naturally we couldn't sit still and wait for death, so we rowed a small boat into the island, but after we entered... that's what happened...
"
"Where did you encounter the sea monster attack?" Xu Zun asked, "When did you encounter it?"
"Three months ago," Shen Xingran replied, "after the mission visited the Thousand Lions Kingdom, they were on their way to the Banshee Kingdom."
"Are you kidding?" Xu Zun was surprised, "The Banshee Kingdom is to the east of the East China Sea, and this is to the south of the East China Sea. The distance between the two places is at least ten days!
"Brother Shen, are you talking nonsense?" Xu Zun asked, "The prince is missing. Why did you come here if you didn't go looking for the prince?"
"I said," Shen Xingran explained, "We lost our way! After being attacked by the sea monster, of course we wanted to find the prince, but somehow we veered off course!
"By the way," he remembered something and said, "I'm just a captain. Everyone on the ship is a fourth-grade officer, and the general of the hussars is also there, so it's not my turn to take command at all!"
"Then..." Xu Zun looked around and asked, "Where are those people? Don't tell me, you are the only one left!"
"I... tsk tsk..." Shen Xingran pressed his temples hard and tried to remember, "How do I remember that they all entered the island? In my impression, I saw them before. They seemed... to gamble.
Bar?"
"About how many people are there?" Xu Zun asked.
"More than a hundred!"
Shen Xingran answered, and also discovered a problem. Among the generals, soldiers and court officials on the ship, he was the only one left!
I don’t know, is this called luck?
"Because..." Unexpectedly, while the two of them were discussing, the Crazy Sword Goddess next to them interrupted and said, "You are the only one who goes on stage to compete. Although you lose every time, at least you save your life!"
"Ah?" Shen Xingran asked hurriedly, "Then... where are my companions? Where are the court officials?"
"Everyone..." Crazy Sword Goddess shook her head, "They couldn't beat each other, and they couldn't grab women, so they could only indulge in gambling. In the end... they died in internal fighting..."
"Ah?" Shen Xingran was shocked, "They're all...all dead? Where's the General Hussars? He's also..."
"Yes," the Crazy Sword Goddess sighed, "driven by desire, what is the difference between high and low? That general gambled the most fiercely, and finally gambled his life to others..."
