The moonlight falls on the sea surface like water, and the sparkling sea water complements the huge full moon like a silver disk in the sky. The sea breeze comes slowly, accompanied by the sound of waves crashing, even if it is a blessing to live by the sea for a long time.
Chiya couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and joy.
"Haha, big man, is everything you said true? Tell me if there is anything else interesting you can tell me." On the bow of the boat, Zhen Mi looked like an elf covered with moonlight, smiling cleverly.
He looked lovingly at the bronze-skinned man next to him who was steering the ship.
When she saw the man's masculine silhouette outlined by the moonlight, Zhen Mi couldn't help but feel her heart pounding, and a blush immediately stained her pretty face.
Without turning his head, Zhu Chi nodded with a smile after hearing Zhen Mi's words, and said lightly: "Yes, there are definitely no less strange things in the sea than in the Central Plains where you live. I am less than ten years old.
I followed my sister Zhu Rong to the beach. When I saw the vast sea for the first time, I was already deeply fascinated by it. So much so that I didn't want to leave the sea after my sister and the others returned from the Fairy Island. So.
, my sister left me here and changed my name to Zhu Chi..."
Zhen Mi tilted her head and said: "I heard from Brother Qin that Zhu Chi means the Emperor of the South China Sea in the language of your barbarians. Does your sister want you to become the true master of this sea?"
Since the last incident, the relationship between Zhu Chi and Zhen Mi has obviously become much better. And whether intentionally or not, Zhen Mi always "encounters" Zhu Chi on the boat. Today, Zhu Chi is personally at the helm at night.
Sailing. And the little girl Zhen Mi also "happened" to have insomnia, so the two naturally started talking on the bow of the ship.
Hearing Zhen Mi's question, Zhu Chi smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "The Emperor of the South China Sea is the legendary absolute master of the entire sea area. I am a citizen of the sea, how can I dare to blaspheme the emperor? Just like my sister
The name means like the god of fire, these are just good wishes."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard Brother Qin say that as long as you can stick to your dreams, nothing is absolutely impossible in this world. You have to work hard!" Zhen Mi said with a smile.
"Brother Qin..." Zhu Chi's smiling face suddenly stiffened slightly. This was the first time Zhen Mi mentioned Qin Yang tonight. Inexplicably, a sour feeling suddenly rose in Zhu Chi's heart.
Feel.
"Sister Zhen Mi..." Zhu Chi's eyes were still looking at the sea in the distance, but he hesitated to speak.
"Huh?" Zhen Mi faced a gust of sea breeze, which ruffled her long hair behind her, and turned her head to look at Zhu Chi.
"Big man, were you calling me just now? What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing..."
"You are such a boring person. You stopped talking in the middle of your words. If Brother Qin dares to talk to me like this, I will definitely kick him into the sea! Hehe..." Zhen Mi said with a sweet smile.
A silent sigh rose from Zhu Chi's heart, and he pursed his lips slightly. Finally, he mustered up the courage to say, "Sister Zhen Mi, do you... like His Highness Prince Ming?"
"I like him? Haha?! Why did you say that suddenly? If my four sisters hear it, then I will be in trouble..."
"I'm not joking, I really want to know." Zhu Chi suddenly turned his head and looked directly at Zhen Mi with eyes like stars on the sea.
Zhen Mi was startled by Zhu Chi's sudden gaze, and two red clouds suddenly rose on her pretty face. Fortunately, a cloud blocked the moonlight at this moment, so Zhu Chi could not see the expression on her face clearly.
.
There was silence at the bow of the ship. Ever since Zhu Chi asked that question, the two of them had not spoken a word again. They were silently focusing on their respective concerns.
After a long time, Zhu Chi took a long breath, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth. He said lightly: "I understand... In fact, you and His Highness Prince Ming are a good match. Not only is he admired by thousands of people in the Central Plains, but he also defeated
He is the most powerful army of our barbarians. What’s more, he is so young and so outstanding..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Before Zhu Chi could finish speaking, his words were interrupted by Zhen Mi's shout. The two fell into silence again, and Zhen Mi turned her head to the side angrily and stopped looking.
Xiang Zhuchi.
Zhu Chi still silently held the rudder and looked at the sparkling sea without saying a word.
After a while, Zhen Mi finally couldn't help but turned around and took a sneak peek at Zhu Chi. However, she found that Zhu Chi was like a wood carving and clay sculpture, staring blankly forward. If his chest hadn't risen and fallen slightly due to breathing, Zhen Mi would have really
Zhu Chi's worry suddenly turned into a stone.
"Even if he is not a stone, his brain is almost like a stone!" Zhen Mi cursed in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said in a low voice: "Big man, can you not bring me and Brother Qin together in the future? Actually...
...Actually, I think...I like you more..."
Her cheeks instantly became extremely hot. After Zhen Mi said these words, her head almost buried her chest. This was the first and only time that she spoke so boldly what was in her heart. Moreover,
Still in front of the man she likes. Even though she has always been lively, she still feels shy and ashamed.
"Sister Zhen Mi..." Zhu Chi's voice seemed to be trembling abnormally.
"Huh?" Zhen Mi said softly, but she didn't dare to raise her head and look at the man in front of her.
Suddenly two big hands grabbed her thin shoulders. Zhen Mi's heart suddenly froze, and the blush on her pretty face expanded rapidly. She thought to herself: "Are all barbarian men like this unable to express their inner feelings?
Can you only act?"
But at the next moment, Zhen Mi felt that something was wrong. Because, she clearly felt that the big hands holding her were so hard and were still trembling slightly! Even the barbarians would not treat a woman
Isn't that rude?!
Just when Zhen Mi frowned and wanted to blame Zhu Chi, Zhu Chi spoke first, "Quick, go to the cabin and wake everyone up! Sea beasts, a large number of sea beasts are coming! Prepare to fight!"
Zhu Chi almost yelled the last four words. Although he has lived at sea all year round and has seen sporadic sea beasts, he has never seen such a large-scale sea beast!
Above the horizon that he could see with his naked eyes, a huge wave had risen! Looking carefully, it turned out to be a huge wave composed entirely of sea monsters. The sea surface next to the ship was extremely restless.
, even though the distance is so far, the unique fishy smell that precedes the sea beast has already hit your face!
"Oh, okay! I'll be there right away! You...be careful..." Zhen Mi also realized the urgency of the situation and hurriedly raised her head and ran towards the cabin.
"Well! Tell everyone to prepare weapons, and... I like you too!" Zhu Chi stared at Zhen Mi's back and said loudly. It's not that Zhu Chi deliberately wanted to fall in love in such a tense situation,
But facing such a large sea monster, Zhu Chi was worried that if he didn't say it now, he might never have the chance to say it again...
Hearing Zhu Chi's words, Zhen Mi's back visibly froze. The little girl turned her head in surprise, looking at Zhu Chi's rock-solid back, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something. But in the end she turned suddenly
Turn around and continue running towards the cabin.
Chaos became the main theme on the ship in the next moment. When they heard Zhen Mi screaming "sea beast attacks!", no one in the Yellow Turban Army or the barbarian sailors lost any sleep.
Up and down the deck, messy footsteps suddenly sounded like exploding beans. In the next moment, everyone rushed out of the cabin and ran towards the bow of the ship.
At this moment, the scene on the sea has changed drastically. Dark clouds that came from nowhere have completely blocked the moonlight, and there is no light on the sea except for the torches lit on the ship.
The strong wind suddenly raged. A thick fishy smell filled the air. A dense mist rose from under the sea and enveloped the entire ship in a moment.
The sound of huge waves came from afar. It was obvious that the sea beasts that were far away in the horizon just now were now less than a thousand meters away from the ship! Suddenly, the entire ship suddenly began to tremble violently, as if it was floating in the big waves.
Duckweed usually sways on the sea surface.
"How can the power of sea beasts be so terrifying? Are they about to overturn the ship before they even reach him?" Qin Yang concentrated all his energy on his feet, as if they were firmly planted on the deck, but his body was
As the deck continued to shake, it swayed from side to side. Fortunately, in recent times, Zhu Chi had deliberately looked for wind and waves to allow the Yellow Turban Army to adapt to the bumps. Otherwise, there would have been no war at all, and the Yellow Turban generals would have been wiped out.
"This is not their pressure, but something at the bottom of the ship!" Zhu Chi had left the helmsman's position and handed the helm to a barbarian sailor. But he himself had already arrived at the side of the ship.
"What is it? Is it also a sea beast?" Qin Yang was startled and asked hurriedly.
Zhu Chi nodded and said: "It must be a sea beast. When sea beasts move in groups on the sea, a small number of sea beasts will always be sent out in front as outposts. I estimate that it is these sea beasts that serve as outposts that are shaking our ship now!"
"Then what should we do now?!" Qin Yang said with a change of expression. Listening to Zhu Chi's words, a few sea beasts acting as outposts can rock the ship like this. If a large group of sea beasts rush over, wouldn't it be possible to overturn the ship in one fell swoop?
Already?!
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll go down and take care of these beasts now!" As he spoke, Zhu Chi had already pulled out two extremely thin short thorns from his calves, turned around and was about to jump off the boat.
"It's just a few sea beasts, let me go!" When the voice sounded, a figure had already appeared outside the hull of the boat, and then the waves under the boat rolled over, and "poof" someone had already dived under the water.
"Gan Ning?!" Qin Yang was shocked. Although his movements were extremely fast, Qin Yang saw clearly that it was his general Gan Ning who had just turned over into the sea.
"Your Highness, put it down. General Gan Ning will be fine. He had already tied a rope around his waist before going into the sea!" Liao Hua waved a rope as thick as two fingers to Qin Yang and said.
"I'll go down and have a look too!" Zhu Chi saw that Gan Ning had already entered the water, but after all, he was very worried and was about to jump into the water.
"Big man! Be careful..." A soft call came from behind, and Zhu Chi knew who the owner of the voice was without turning around.
Thinking of that flower-like face, Zhu Chi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He waved lightly and said, "Don't worry, a few sea beasts can't do anything to me."
As he spoke, Zhu Chi's figure had disappeared from the side of the boat. There was an undetectable "plop" sound of falling into the water above the turbulent sea.
Qin Yang turned his head and looked at Zhen Mi behind him, who had a complicated look in his eyes. He couldn't help but laugh and pointed his finger under the boat: "Don't worry, little girl! Your big brother is very good at water. Just look at it if you don't believe me!"
At this moment, when they heard that Gan Ning and Zhu Chi had entered the water, everyone in the Yellow Turban Army had come to the side of the boat and looked down. On the dark sea surface, they could only see white waves that appeared from time to time, and
Neither the two of them nor the sea beast could be seen.
But what made everyone feel a little relieved was that since the two people went into the sea, the shaking of the ship's hull has been greatly reduced. It is obvious that the two people have attracted the attention of the sea beasts under the ship and are fighting with these sea beasts.
"General Gan is coming up!" Just when everyone was extremely anxious, Liao Hua, who was holding the rope in his hand, suddenly cheered, and then he saw that his hands began to pull the rope hard.
"Bah! These guys are really difficult to deal with!" As the rope was pulled up by Liao Hua, Gan Ning's figure appeared on the deck again. He wiped the seawater flowing down his face and gasped.
"How's it going? Have you killed him?!" The attentive Yellow Turban Army members had already noticed the blood on Gan Ning's body. They couldn't help but gathered around him and asked.
Gan Ning chuckled and said: "Of course I killed two of them. I can't find the rest... Don't worry, this blood belongs to those beasts."
Everyone saw that Gan Ning seemed to be fine, and they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. But Zhen Mi ran over and grabbed Gan Ning's arm and asked anxiously: "Brother Gan, did you see the big man underwater? What happened to him?
Didn’t come back with you?”
"Big guy?! Oh, you're talking about General Zhu Chi, right? He went down too? No wonder why I feel there are so few sea beasts under the boat..." Gan Ning was startled for a moment, then realized it, scratched his head and said. In fact,
.The visibility under the sea is almost zero now. Even if Gan Ning and Zhu Chi pass each other head on, it will be difficult to find each other. Gan Ning also searched for sea beasts by touching the bottom of the boat. If he encountered any resistance, he would directly kill them.
.
Thinking of this, Gan Ning couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on his forehead. Could it be that...he accidentally killed Zhu Chi at the bottom of the boat just now...
"I'm here." Just when Gan Ning started to wonder if what he just killed was a sea beast, suddenly an extremely dull voice came from the other side of the ship.
"Big guy!" Zhen Mi turned around sharply, just in time to see a tall and slender figure neatly climbing onto the bow of the ship.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhu Chi smiled slightly at Zhen Mi, and slammed an object that was more than two meters long above his shoulders onto the deck.
"What is this?" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Zhu Chi was fine, but then their attention was attracted by the motionless thing on the deck.
Zhu Chi shook his hair and said calmly: "This is one of the sea beasts that will fight us. This is the smaller fish-man sea beast among them."
"Murloc and sea beast?!" Everyone cheered and gathered around, scrambling to raise the torches in their hands to look at the sea beast on the deck.
As the name suggests, the fish-man sea beast is a strange sea creature with a human body and a fish tail. The whole body of the fish-man sea beast lying on the deck now is about two meters long. The upper body has a body similar to that of a human, except for the space between the five fingers.
Except for the translucent webs growing on them, the rest of the organs are the same as those of normal people. But starting from the waist downward, there is the body and tail of a fish.
Looking at the face, these fishmen have no hair. Their faces are also extremely vicious. The pupils are dark blue, there is no nose bridge, there are structures similar to fish gills in the nostrils, and there are two long ones in the mouth.
The fangs extend beyond the lips. The rest of the teeth are as sharp as jagged teeth. Because he has lived in the water for a long time, the skin on his body looks extremely shiny, similar to shark skin.
At this time, there was obviously a very fine wound between the fishman's throat. Because he had just died, dark red blood was still gushing out from the wound.
"These fish-men and sea beasts are the largest group among sea beasts. Although they are smaller in size, they are more numerous and faster. Generally speaking, even larger sea beasts are very reluctant to encounter them.
There were originally six such murlocs in the bottom of the boat just now. General Gan Ning killed two, I killed three and escaped with one. Just six of these beasts were able to shake our ship. You can imagine this thing in the water.
How strong are you?" Zhu Chi said calmly.
After listening to Zhu Chi's introduction, everyone took a breath of cold air, and Qin Yang even asked: "General Zhu Chi, according to your estimate, how many of these murlocs are rushing towards us now?"
When Zhu Chi saw Qin Yang asking, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and finally said: "According to my estimate, it's about ten thousand..."
"Ten thousand?!" Qin Yang stuck out his tongue. The next sentence he was going to ask was what were the chances of these people surviving. But when he heard this number, he swallowed the question directly.
.Ten thousand murlocs?! Is it possible that everyone has a chance to survive?!
Zhu Chi nodded and said: "It's almost the same number, just more or less. I heard that my clan's fleet also encountered this kind of sea beast group before. Legend has it that although this kind of sea beast is ferocious, its personality is extremely...
Be cautious. Once their losses reach about five percent, they will be unable to help but retreat. Facing them, you cannot escape. You can only scare them away by killing."
"Three percent... That's also three hundred..." Qin Yang swallowed hard. He couldn't say anything more at this moment, because the sound of the "rumbling" wave was getting closer and closer...
