"No, absolutely not!" Xiao Zhennan said firmly in the captain's room at the bow of the ship, "We have been traveling in the East China Sea for more than ten years, and we have never heard of any sea monster!"
"Yes," Han Feier agreed, "The Banshee Country is known as the country of overseas martial arts, and it has attracted many martial arts people from the Central Plains to learn martial arts. There has never been any news of anyone encountering the Siren."
"Could it be..." Navy Commander Cao Wu Yubao interrupted, "It was just a storm, and because of some unknown situation, you mistakenly thought it was a sea monster?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Xingran.
"No...impossible," Shen Xingran said firmly, "There is definitely something in the sea, and that thing is huge!"
"Then..." Xiao Zhennan asked, "Can you describe it to us? What does that thing look like? Could it be a whale?"
whale?
Xu Zun was surprised. He didn't expect Daxuan to be called a whale.
"No," Shen Xingran said with certainty, "That thing is much bigger than a whale. It looks like it covers the entire sea. A slight collision can capsize the battleship!"
"It's all over the sea, I still don't understand," Xiao Zhennan asked, "The siren must have something to look like, right?"
"Um...Tsk..." Shen Xingran hesitated, feeling the gazes from everyone, and then he said on pins and needles, "When the Tianfu ship lost control and we were drifting on the sea, the soldiers were talking about the Kraken.
appearance!
"That thing was so big that we all seemed to be peeping through a tube. Some people said that the Kraken looked like a giant squid, because some people saw that the sea water turned black, just like the ink spit out by a squid!
"However," Shen Xingran said, "someone expressed different opinions, saying that if it is a giant squid, then at least it should see tentacles, but we did not see it.
"In addition, there is another theory that has been circulating among the military," he hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "There are also people who believe that the Kraken is a huge - water dragon!!!"
What!?
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown, and their hearts trembled.
"Water dragon?" Xiao Zhennan thought for a long time and smiled bitterly, "How can there be a dragon in this world?"
"Some people saw the water dragon raising its head," Shen Xingran said excitedly, "someone saw the dragon's claws, saying that our battleship was torn apart by the dragon's claws!
"Also...some people say that the black thing on the sea is just a scale of the water dragon!"
Shen Xingran's words were not only excited, but also brought out a kind of nervousness, and he was obviously emotionally unstable.
Xu Zun understood that Shen Xingran first encountered great changes at sea, and then was swallowed up by desire on Gufeng Island. Naturally, his mental state could not recover so quickly.
However, everyone was so worried that they naturally couldn't understand. They just felt that Shen Xingran's words were unconvincing.
Prior to this, Xu Zun had sent Huo Anu and others to question the dancers and musicians, and their confessions were the same as those of the princess, proving that Shen Xingran was not lying.
However, the dancers, musicians and the princess were all in the cabin at the time and did not see the Siren with their own eyes.
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun advised, "don't be anxious, it's better to take a break for now and let's discuss it in the long run!"
"Sir..." Unexpectedly, Wu Yubao said worriedly, "How can we consider this matter in the long term? If there is a sea monster in that sea area, wouldn't our trip be very dangerous?"
Xu Zun ignored him and did not blame him. After all, he was just a sailor and naturally he did not want to put himself in danger.
"Captain Shen," Xiao Zhennan once again asked Shen Xingran an important matter, "You only said that the incident took place in the southeastern waters of the Banshee Kingdom. Then... do you know the exact location?"
"No... I don't know!" Shen Xingran said, "I am only responsible for the prince's safety. I don't know anything about the sailing affairs!"
"Oh..." Wu Yubao seemed relieved and quickly shrank his head and said nothing.
"But..." Xiao Zhennan pointed to the sea map and said, "Because you are coming from Thousand Lions Country, I can roughly estimate the sea area, and it should not be difficult to find."
"..." Wu Yubao suddenly grinned.
"Okay," Xu Zun said, "In that case, let's rush to the sea area where the incident occurred first, and then search for it from the surrounding islands!"
Xu Zun has made up his mind, and everyone no longer has any objections.
Next, Xu Zun sent someone to take Shen Xingran to the cabin for resettlement, and then sent away the guards and Wu Yubao.
As a result, only Huo Anu, Zhao Yu and Xiao Zhennan and his wife were left in the house.
"Sir," Zhao Yu said bitterly, "It's a pity that I didn't go to the island with you, otherwise I could have experienced the elegance of the evil spirit who ranks among the top ten masters of Daxuan!"
"Old Zhao," Huo Anu scolded, "so many people on the island were indirectly killed by Wang Dian. This man is the culprit. What kind of nonsense does he have?"
"Our heroine..." Xiao Zhennan had already learned about the situation on the island and immediately asked, "Isn't she also Wang Dian's opponent?"
Xiao Zhennan's words naturally received no response from Xu Zun, because Xu Zun was still thinking about the prince.
"I heard," Zhao Yu, who is a man in the world, is still more interested in martial arts, "A year ago, Wang Dian lost to his junior brother Ding Qiming. In depression, he fled the world and disappeared. I can’t believe that I actually came to this remote island!”
Xu Zun heard from Zhao Yu that Ding Qiming is also one of the top ten masters of Daxuan. He and Wang Dian are both disciples of Bihai Zhenren in Shuzhou Bihai Palace.
"I have to say," Han Feier said, "Wang Dian is really powerful. This time it was really eye-opening. Wang Dian's moves are elegant and restrained. They seem simple and unpretentious, but they are actually amazing. I have never seen them before in my life!"
"Yes," Huo Anu, who has always been arrogant, admitted, "this is under the premise that he has not used Xuanyuan Ancient Sword. If he holds the sword, I don't know..."
"Miss Huo," Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "does his sword really weigh more than eighty pounds?"
Huo Anu nodded.
Zhao Yu wanted to say something more, but saw Xu Zun's serious expression and quickly stopped.
"Sir," at this time, Han Feier suddenly said to Xu Zun, "I found a small problem. I wonder if you are aware of it?"
"Oh?" Xu Zun was surprised and asked, "What's the problem?"
"The Crown Princess... um..." Han Feier said, "Is there no maid beside the Crown Princess?"
Why?
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zun was even more surprised. He had felt that there was something wrong with the Crown Princess before, but he had not thought of this.
Yes, the Crown Princess has a distinguished status, so how come she doesn’t have a maid to wait on her?
Xu Zun had never asked about this matter carefully before.
"Did..." Huo Anu guessed, "died on Gufeng Island?"
"Didn't I mean," Han Feier said, "have all the women survived? Why, I always feel... something is weird."
Xu Zun also felt the same way as Han Feier's words. Perhaps the influence of lemon toxin on them has not been completely eliminated, right?
