Chapter 15 Blood Moon and Gray Mist (Part 2)(1/2)

Hearing Miss Nightingale's screams in horror, Fang Zhu turned around and rushed into the captain's room with a quick step, but when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but stop, shook his head, and sighed - a big bug with wings flapping around the lamp, Miss Nightingale shrank in a corner, staring at the thing with a vigilant look on her face.

She even pulled out the long dagger and held it in her hand, and the tip of the knife was moving up and down with the flying insect.

Fang Zhu walked forward and covered the light with his hand. The insect hit him head-on. He pinched his hand and gently pressed the insect's chest back and firmly grabbed it.

The insect made a sharp hissing sound and struggled hard. It was quite strong and showed abundant vitality. The others also walked in from outside at this time. Tianlan looked at the insect in his hand curiously, and tried to reach out to touch its long tentacles.

Alisa then relaxed, put away her knife, and she had goose bumps all over her body. When she saw Tianlan's behavior, she couldn't help but say, "Be careful, this bug might be aggressive. Tianlan, stay away from it."

Fang Zhu turned the insect in his hand and looked at its mouthparts, shook his head, "Don't worry, this should only be vegetative. Just be careful not to anger it, look at its mouthparts are quite sharp." "What kind of bug is this, Brother Ed?" Tianlan asked.

Fang Zhu shook his head and couldn't help but look at the insects on his hands. The insect looked like a genus of the Ayopid family, with forehead chords and tentacles, sixteen sections of the antennae, and a bulge of the chest and back plate, but there were no horny elys, only two pairs of feather wings.

He lifted his forewings, wide and grayish-white, his hindwings are membranous, with a well-developed abdomen, and his tail whiskers look like he is close to cockroaches. He has never seen such a bug before, but the sea of ​​creatures that Aitalia has never seen before has gone.

What's more, there is the Ether Realm, and this bug may be a magical creature itself.

Miss Nightingale looked at the big bug waving with disgust, far away, "Dear Commander, please throw it out."

"Take it out?" Fang Yu shook his head quickly, "That's not possible, this thing is very precious."

"precious?"

Alisa looked at him in horror.

At this time, more bugs flew in outside. Fang Zhu suddenly thought of something and said quickly: "Let others go back to the cabin and close the doors and windows. This thing may be for wood. You have to prevent them from drilling into the lower deck and laying eggs there."

Everyone hurriedly closed the doors and windows. Luo Hao, the box and the Paparal people also entered the cabin from the other end and closed the cabin door there. Dalier and Xiesta each caught the bugs flying into the captain's room and threw them into a wooden box.

And it was at this moment that a deafening buzz suddenly came from the heavy fog.

Fang Yu changed his face and looked up in that direction. He saw insects flying overwhelmed in the gray-green fog, falling on the deck like a heavy rain, hitting the glass, and making hail-like sounds on the bulkhead.

"Ah, so many!" Even Tianlan was startled and screamed.

She suddenly jumped three feet high and shouted: "It's bad, Brother Ed, there's still something down there!"

Fang Yu also reacted and immediately rushed to the stairwell and came to the lower corridor. He saw that there were already dense layers of insects in the corridor, like a wriggling carpet. When he saw this scene, he felt his scalp numb, but he had to clench the insects and make a creaking sound, step by step.

He walked to the door of the room and pushed it into the door. It was the dormitory of Luo Hao and others, and it was already full of bugs. There were even many bugs flying in through the porthole. He walked over and pulled down the window and made a muffled sound.

At that time, a bug flew over the mist, hitting the glass, and splashing into a colorful ball of juice in front of him.

Others also entered the cabin, larks, calendula, Cui Xisi and Ian, Tianlan, Dalier, Xiesta and Silweid each entered their rooms, and the infirmary also went to close the windows. The scene in the room was a bit tragic, and the ladies screamed one after another.

Fortunately, those bugs are not aggressive and only cause considerable damage to everyone's mind.

Fang Zhu exited the room and found that Miss Nightingale was standing at the stairs with a look of indifference, looking at the layers of insects crawling upwards, looking like she was struggling.

"Miss Alissa," Fang Yu said, "You stay in the captain's room and close the door."

Miss Nightingale glanced at him with an ugly expression. Although she was extremely physically uncomfortable, she couldn't help asking: "What about you guys?"

"They are not aggressive. Just block the entrance and don't let them in. The cabin can be cleaned up slowly. These are just ordinary bugs." Fang Zhu said.

"Then..." Alisa nodded, "Okay."

She closed the door, and the others were retreating from their rooms one by one. Xie Shita was squeaking the insects to death, and then sweeping them aside.

Dalier was standing aside, looking at the expressionless maid with awe.

"Brother Ed," Tianlan said to him with crystal, "Miss May and Mr. Baggins have checked the air combat deck and the greenhouse. Luo Hao and the box and the others have also visited the kitchen and utility room, and the doors and windows over there are blocked."

"Where is the central control room?" Fang Yu was worried about the Guy generator.

Tianlan shook her head, "Jita said, "The magic engine has not seen the bug yet."

Theoretically, the number of bugs in the channel is still increasing.

Fang Yu suddenly thought of a question - the anchor chain room - the bug could crawl in through the holes where the anchor was placed. He made a quick decision and immediately walked along the corridor through the kitchen and greenhouse to the place, but only then he found that Luo Hao, the box and the Paparals had already arrived first.

At this time, the number of insects in the anchor chain room had flooded, stacked together layer by layer, almost like surging black mud. The Paparals were standing outside the door and shouting, "Why don't you go in?"

"Are you a nightingale or I a nightingale?" Luo Hao said angrily.

"The nightingale is back," the Paparal man slapped the insects flying to his face with one hand, "I'm not an expert in insect removal!"

"I didn't let you get rid of insects," Luo Hao said, "Just let you block the anchor chain hole."

"How can I get over?" Parker asked, "why don't you throw me over?"

Fang Yu didn't know where these insects came from. He was about to walk forward, but he heard someone calling him behind him. When he looked back, he found that Jita had appeared there at some time.

The naturalist lady's face was a little pale, and the scars on the corners of her eyebrows had faint marks, but she looked calm. Fang Yu asked, "Ji Ta, are you okay?" The girl pushed her glasses and shook her head, "Captain, not only the anchor chain room, but there are bugs in each stomatal hole that can penetrate, but I have already sealed those places with magic."

Then she looked in that direction, a magic book appeared in her hand, and she pointed with her hand and muttered something. The misty white light rose from the page. She stretched out her hand and pointed to the other side. The white light floated towards the anchor chain chamber and flew into the anchor hole. The insect screamed and suddenly spread its wings and flew over.

Luo Hao and the box, the Paparals were startled and quickly retreated. The dense insects had almost flooded the knees of the shortest Paparals. "Help help!" he shouted almost in despair.

Fang Yu calmly took out a chimney, pulled the lead and lit it, and drove away its insects with thick smoke. These chimneys were still used by them to deworm in the dense forest of Fenris, and have been left until now.

After finally blocking the holes everywhere, the insects could no longer seep into the cabin. Xie Sita, Dalier, Luo Hao, Box and others were divided into two groups. It took nearly half an hour to clean up the insects in the cabin.

But in this way, there were still countless fish that had escaped the net and hid in the utility room, luggage or bottom cabin.

The worm tide outside lasted almost an hour before it ended. The masts were covered with these same kind of insects on the deck, and the sails of the silver-bred spider silk were bitten to the point of being pitted - almost impossible to reuse.

It took another hour for everyone to clean the deck and replace the spare sails again - the bodies of the sank out insects had piled up like mountains and emitted a foul smell. The colorful juice left by these insects was everywhere on the ship. Don't think about using it again until you thoroughly clean it.

Tianlan suddenly shouted on the deck. When everyone came to the deck, they found that the dense fog around was gradually dissipating, and the land edge of Cape Lavia reappeared in the distance - a small town appeared between the cliffs.

"Look at that side!" Tianlan shouted in pointing in that direction.

Fang Yu looked in the direction she pointed and realized that it was a natural anchorage. The town was located in the clouds surrounded by cliffs. It was immersed in the night. The houses were built against the mountains, layered and there was a lighthouse on the cliff.

There was no light in darkness.

"It's Valta," Catherine said with some surprise, "has the mist actually brought us?"

Fang Rong looked at her and asked, "This is your secret anchorage?"

"It's like this on the surface, but our anchorage is deeper," Katherine squinted her eyes and told him, "But there are docks in the town, you can just dock it."

"Does fog often appear nearby?" But Fang Yu's mind was still on the previous heavy fog. The sudden mist that dissipated without any warning was really uneasy. The same was true for the swarm of insects in the mist. He asked, "Do you know what was going on just now, Ms. Catherine?"

Catherine shook her head, "I am just like you, and I still don't quite understand what the fog is, and why there are so many bugs in it."

Fang Yu looked at her carefully and found that the other party did not seem to be lying.

But since this is the anchorage for privateer pirates, they should be very clear about the surrounding environment, or is the fog really just a chance?

"Why, are you still thinking about the past?" said Catherine. "There are many situations in the Kūkami Sea. In fact, you don't need to think so much. The giant whales and mirages as big as floating islands are more spectacular than this."

She stepped on a bug that crawled to her feet, "These bugs look ordinary, so there should be no secret."

But Fang Yu said, "I'm not talking about these bugs."

These insects seem harmless, but their ecology is very special. They have never been seen in the outside world. They should not be so nameless, unless they live in a closed and unique ecology themselves.

What kind of ethnic group do they belong to and where do they live? He always felt that the insects came from the giant ship, and when he thought of the ship that broke into two pieces in the mist, there was something wrong in his heart.

Although the boat is as big as a mountain, can it really accommodate so many insects? What do they eat and what do they rely on for their living? Not to mention developing an ecology that is very different from the outside world?

His studies were originally related to this. Ordinary people may not see these details, but in his opinion, these insects are full of mysteries.

"Ms. Catherine," Fang Zhu asked the other party again, "You also saw the scene before. Where do you think the boat came from?"

Catherine shook her head slowly, "The Empire is not that big ship, and their main warships are much smaller than that ship. The Hill of Giant Trees and the ships of Kaurin-Ishurien are even more in line with each other, and the same is true for the ships of the Rotao people."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! She looked at Fang Yu, "What, do you think it's too coincidental?"

Fang Yu nodded. Luo Hao, the box and the Paparal people thought that the giant ship looked familiar, but he actually felt the same in his heart. He returned to the captain's room and took out the notes of the giant ships he had drawn based on his memory.

But it still doesn't match.

It's not a fleet of shadow men.

Or is there still a sailboat of unknown forces he did not know, the legacy of the Snakeman era of the Numerlin elves?

He closed the notes, but no matter what, the Qihai Traveler needed a docking place. After all, the ship needs to be thoroughly cleaned, and biological control is also required to check whether the insects lay eggs on the ship, and clean up the remaining ones in the corners.

Otherwise, when the larvae hatch, it will be another big trouble.

What's more, Navalta is the secret anchorage of privateing pirates in Saint Hugh'an. One of the shipyards Catherine mentioned is also in this place, which was originally one of their expected destinations.

So he made up his mind and told Miss Tata and the others to dock. So the Qihai Traveler boarded the sails again and began to slowly lean towards the Valta direction. However, not long after, the female pirate leader came to him again and told him:

"Little guy, slow down your people," Katherine looked alert, "It's not right."

Fang Yu looked at her and then shook her head and said, "I hope I'm worried too much, but Valta's situation is different from what I thought. It's very remote here, but it's not like this. The people on the dock haven't seen us yet, nor have they sent anyone to ask about our purpose-"

"Are you worried about something going on in Valta?" Fang Zhu asked, "The Blood Shark Pirate or the Imperial Man takes the lead and control your people first?"

Katherine was a little confused: "This possibility is not ruled out, but if I were a Blood Shark Pirate, I would never have such a flaw. Even if they sent a ship, we would not be able to see anything clearly in such a dark sky or such a distance."

"So Ms. Catherine's opinion is, stop? Or turn and leave?"

"No," Katherine shook her head, "just remind you to be careful and beware of any possible changes. This is the industry of privateer pirates, and we can still use that shipyard."

Fang Yu thought for a while and decided to release the boat first and send someone to the shore to take a look.

While he came to the deck, he released the second batch of winding fairies. This time, these small and flexible structures encountered no obstacles and flew into the town of Navalta smoothly, but these exquisite copper structures flew past the town and found that there was no one on the dock or in the town.

Fang Zhu had to let them lower their heights, and after scattering around the town, he still found nothing. He couldn't help but be alert and let a few clockwork leprechauns fly into the building - but almost all the buildings in the town were pitch black and there was no light.
