The sky gradually darkened, and Zhang Tuohai drove the boat forward continuously.
Gradually, fog rose from the sea.
Looking at the steaming fog, Zhang Tuohai frowned. In this era without radar and satellite positioning, detection and direction determination can only rely on lookouts and sextants. The rising sea fog greatly interferes with the lookout hands.
Large, it is easy for ships to deviate from the course or even get lost.
This is very dangerous for ships.
Zhang Tuohai photographed two singing and dancing girls climbing to the top of the mast to see if they could see stars there, and then used a sextant to identify the direction.
But the sea fog was so great that even if the two singers climbed to the top of the mast, they couldn't see the sky clearly.
"Forget it, keep sailing in a straight line for now, and then correct the course when it gets daylight."
Zhang Tuohai turned the wheel and sailed toward the predetermined location relying on the route memory in his mind.
Anyway, this is a vast sea, surrounded by boundless water, so you don’t have to worry about colliding with other ships, just keep driving forward.
The White Bird moved forward in heavy fog.
When the moon reached its zenith, the sea fog dispersed slightly, and the visibility increased from less than five meters to about 20 meters.
"The fog has dispersed quite a bit. If we drive a little further forward, we will almost be able to escape the fog area."
Zhang Tuohai worked harder and was about to continue sailing at a faster speed.
Suddenly I heard a muffled bang.
The White Bird seems to have hit something.
"Could it be that we hit a coral reef? But I remember there are no coral reefs on this route."
Zhang Tuohai felt strange and asked Polly the parrot to see what was going on.
Polly the Parrot spread his wings and flew over. In just a few seconds, Polly the Parrot flew back quickly, shouting loudly as he flew: "Captain, Captain, there is a ship! We hit the ship!"

"This can actually collide with a ship?" Zhang Tuohai felt a little incredible. On the vast sea, this is not a busy trade road, but two ships can actually collide with each other. The odds are worth buying lottery tickets.
"Everyone is ready to fight, the Unsullied are ready to board the ship!"
Zhang Tuobao revealed the roar of the devil around his waist.
The Unsullied filed out of the cabin, each carrying a spear and a shield in their hands, and behind them were long muskets.
"Up!"
Zhang Tuohai waved his hand, and a group of Unsullied rushed onto the ship. Zhang Tuohai also jumped along the springboard to the opponent's ship.
After boarding the other party's ship, Zhang Tuohai was shocked to find that there was no sound at all on the other party's ship. It was as quiet as a tomb.
I looked around and saw no crew members.
"There are still traces of recent use of the cable, and blood stains were found, which are also fresh."
An Unsullied found some clues.
"Where is it? Take me to see it." Zhang Tuohai said.
"Here." The Unsullied One led Zhang Tuohai to a mast.
There are traces of friction on the cables on the mast, and there is a piece of blood spattered next to it. The color is very light, and it should have been stained recently, indicating that the ship was recently owned by someone.
"Work in groups of four, check separately, don't miss every corner, and report any findings immediately."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Yes!"
The Unsullied immediately took action and quickly searched the deck, finding a total of six places of blood, five on the deck and one on the slipway.
The items on the ship also showed signs of recent use.
But there is no one.
"What's going on? Did we encounter a ghost ship?"
Zhang Tuohai's mind changed rapidly.
"Enter the cabin and search!" Zhang Tuohai said.
"Yes!"
The Unsullied entered the cabin with a spear and began to inspect each room.
Zhang Tuohai followed the Unsullied and searched the cabin. Except for some blood stains, he couldn't find half of the people.
"Did it get robbed by pirates?"
Zhang Tuohai guessed it was possible, but he quickly rejected it.
The food and water on the ship were all there, and the artillery and shells were also complete. Zhang Tuohai even found a box of dinars in the cabin.
These things are very important to pirates. If the ship is looted by pirates, there is no reason to throw these here.
Everything on the ship is full of weirdness.
"What's going on?" Zhang Tuohai was puzzled.
He led the Unsullied to continue searching, and finally came to the captain's cabin.
In the captain's cabin, various navigational instruments are neatly placed on the desk. On the desk are several charts and a sailing diary.
Zhang Tuohai opened the chart first, looked at it carefully several times, and found that there were some things recorded on it that were not on his chart. He quickly recorded them one by one, and then put the chart away and prepared to look back in detail.
Then Zhang Tuohai opened the voyage diary.
The first half of the diary is normal, recording the cargo and voyage records on the ship in detail.
When I turned to the last page, the painting style changed suddenly.
"Sea mist rises from the sea. Poseidon bless me. I hope that legend is not true!"
"It's over, I heard that voice, the legend is true! Poseidon has abandoned us!"
"Here they come, they're coming!"
The record ends here.
"Sea fog? Sound?"
Zhang Tuohai frowned. He was sure that the people on the boat must have encountered some irresistible disaster, and it was still when the sea fog was rising.
Wait, isn’t today the time when the sea fog rises?
At this moment, Zhang Tuohai suddenly heard a murmuring voice echoing in his ears, as if someone was whispering in his ears, and the voice was getting louder and louder. Zhang Tuohai wanted to hear but couldn't hear the specific content, so he could only feel
Until someone shouted or argued in his ear.
"How are you doing?" Zhang Tuohai turned to the Unsullied and asked.
Immediately, several Unsullied raised their hands and said they heard strange sounds, while others said they heard nothing.
"What on earth is going on?" Zhang Tuohai was also confused.
"Go up first and then talk."
Zhang Tuohai led the Unsullied people onto the deck. However, the moment they boarded the deck, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
At this time, the fog dissipated a lot, and a dilapidated sailboat docked next to their ship. The ship looked like it had just been fished out of the water. There were conches and aquatic plants everywhere on the ship, and there were a few things crawling on the sides of the ship.
Thick layers of mussels.
The sail is black and somewhat rotten, and you can vaguely see a huge skull painted on the sail.
On the deck stood a large group of monsters.
These monsters have the appearance of humans, but their heads and bodies have the physical characteristics of various marine creatures. They either have shark heads, or their bodies are covered with scales, or their bodies are covered with thick carapace. The head of the leader is an octopus.
The shape of the eight tentacles is constantly squirming.
These people were carrying strange-shaped weapons in their hands and looked at Zhang Tuohai and others with eager eyes.
