Kanna-kun didn't lie to them. They really didn't need them to row the boat. After all, there wasn't even half an oar on the boat. The way the boat operated was related to the formation on the boat, which Kanna-kun had arranged before. He
You only need to recite a mantra on the ship, and the ship will be able to move in the direction indicated by the formation. This is not a simple spell, and several people were surprised by it, because for them, Kannau-kun is
He is a straight-forward person who is unambiguous in fighting. Therefore, they all thought that Kanna-kun would not be particularly good at Onmyojitsu. Human beings, if someone is famous for something, there must be something he is not good at.
There are very few other things that can be both civilized and military but also considerate of character. If you want to find a flaw in Kanna-kun, his unlovable speech can barely be considered one.
But his strength is undoubtedly the strongest. This poor ship actually ran steadily all the way, as if an invisible old sailor was helping to steer the steering. It was really unexpected. In addition to the magic circle, there were also several wooden blocks in the cabin.
The amount of food stored in the box is not large, and it was also prepared by Kanna-kun. Maybe he estimated that the movement of the archipelago has not been going on for too long... It would be better.
Soon it was night. If it had been before, they should have arrived. But now, looking around, there is still no place on the sea where ships can dock. It is natural for people to feel lonely in such a place, and they can't help but feel lonely along the way.
They were all talking, almost without stopping for a moment. As the sun set, they all realized that they really had nothing to say.
After all, they have been friends for such a long time and have talked about everything together, and Kanna-kun is not really a talkative person. When they were chatting, Kanna-kun didn’t know if he was listening or not. Anyway, he was just sitting there.
, motionless, like a piece of wood. He seemed to have taken a nap at noon. Although it was only for two-quarters of an hour, he couldn't wake up, almost making Wenying think he was dead.
The round sun slowly sank to their front and right, the warm colors faded on the waves, and the entire sky began to approach the color of the sea. Jiao Mo looked at the sea and asked Yingying to say to the side:
"How long until we arrive, do you know?"
"I'm afraid, it will take a while." Jiao Mo hesitated, "There is no scent of my people around here. Maybe they are still far away...or maybe I have become slow."
Shen Wujun, who had been sitting silently in the corner with his arms folded, suddenly stood up, walked a few steps, and came to the edge of the ship. Xie Zhe was surprised - surprised that he could not stand up after sitting cross-legged for so long.
His legs felt numb. He stretched out his head and looked at the sea, his sharp eyes passing through the black gauze. After a long time, he looked back and glanced at the bright foam.
"You must be a little slow."
"Eh?"
Jiao Mo didn't understand what he meant. She looked at the sea again, it was still the familiar deep blue, and the broken and weak waves were like stars in the night sky. She really didn't see anything, and she didn't notice anything.
The boat sailed for a long time, and several people fell asleep on the side. The temperature of the sea was just right and there was no need to cover it. It was so quiet. About half an hour later, the boat passed a reef. They were too small, too broken, and
It's very dark, and you might hit it if you're not careful. But I don't know if it's because Kanna-kun's magic is good enough, but the ship can easily avoid places where it's easy to hit the rocks. You have to know that such a small ship can survive on a powerful sea.
, destroying it is as easy as destroying it.
The first person who noticed the strange thing was Wenying. The fox demon's hearing has always been keen. She was full of curiosity about everything, so she was very sensitive to everything. Although the boat was driving carefully enough, she still heard something in the darkness while she was half asleep and half awake.
Some slippery and sticky sounds were mixed in with the sound of the waves.
What on earth was it? She felt a little uneasy. She pulled Han Chang's sleeves, and Han Chang opened his eyes, with a look of caution on his face, but Xie Zhe and Jiao Mo on both sides were still sleeping quietly.
Are they neurotic? Maybe not. The brother and sister have always trusted each other, so there will be no mistakes this time. There were no lights on the boat because there were no lights for them to light, and Kanna-kun was not prepared. This was obviously deliberate
Yes, any of his actions will be attributed to him
This is also the reason why the two fox demons did not ignite the fox fire on their own. However, Wenying was not so conscious, and her brother reminded her. Now, she wanted to ask Han Chang more, but Han Chang just looked at the two
Kanna-kun, who had his eyes closed, did not intend to disturb his rest. He shook his head, closed his eyes again, and signaled her to rest. Wenying was a little angry, so she stood up and walked through the awning alone to the stern of the boat.
Looking behind them at the sea they were sailing through.
The waves criss-crossed and broke into pieces on the rocks, turning into white foam surrounding the ship. They swallowed up the traces of the ship's passage, which was very different from sailing on the river. When Wenying was a child, she often saw rivers in the mountains.
There are humans holding boats and sailing through the center. When the water is calm enough, the long boats or bamboo rafts are like knives for cutting paper, very sharp. But now there are no other humans, only a few of them. Maybe...
There is something more.
Those sounds were still nearby. The night vision of fox monsters was naturally better than that of ordinary people, but it was far worse than that of cat monsters. She always felt that there were some dark shadows constantly going back and forth between these rocks. They moved close to the water.
, or maybe not inside. Is it someone's shikigami? Or is it a monster named Umibozhu who is causing trouble? Or... a mirage? Although from
There were only a few steps from the bow to the stern, but she suddenly felt that the distance was very far away, and she regretted this impulsive decision. However, her brother did not seem to intend to treat this unspeakable abnormality as a real abnormality.
Others didn't feel anything at all. After much thought, she couldn't turn a blind eye to these invisible and grotesque things no matter what.
Her patience is reaching its limit.
He clenched his fist, then opened it slightly, and a ball of blue fox fire appeared in Wenying's hand. The fox fire was very small and not bright. It was like a firefly under the starry sky above the vast sea, reflecting off any piece of fire.
The ripples in the moonlight were brighter than it. The firefly blew gently, sending the fox fire to the rear of the passing ship.
The moment it approached the reef, it suddenly trembled, bursting the curtain of darkness. Several points of gleaming cold light spread across the ocean, spreading out a small sea of light. This should have been a dreamlike scenery, but it revealed
The scene revealed under the curtain made Wenying's hands and feet feel cold, and she even forgot to breathe for a moment.
The broken rocks on the sea surface, in the cold light, were filled with something she had never seen before - monsters.
Apart from this word, Wenying didn't know how else to describe these existences. If she wanted to say that they were monsters, she felt physical resistance and discomfort, because she could not imagine that there could be such indescribably ugly creatures. Their figures were somewhat
Like a human being, the whole body is covered with a leathery skin, which reflects the sticky texture in the dim light.
There was a monster clinging to a rock not far from the ship. Looking at each other with horror, Wenying saw the huge eyes protruding in opposite directions on both sides of its head, and the gill-like slits on its sides. It was almost like
It's like something made by crushing people and grotesque sea beasts into mud, mixing them together, and then randomly fabricating them.
Also, how come they are such a color? Wenying is very familiar with the blue color of fox fire, but she has never thought that this strange cold color can form the skin of any human-looking creature. Besides, those dirty
The blue and green, even if we have to compare it with fox fire, are like the ominous color of the fox fire after its light is corroded and festered by the rolling miasma of the rotten swamp.
The light of the fox fire was fading, but Wenying could still see countless light spots surrounding the back of their boat. Those were the eyes of the monsters. Each pair refracted weird light, spreading from the swaying blue light to the light and shadow.
The edge of the blend merged into the night. Wenying saw that as the ship moved forward, they were also turning their heads slightly, silently hunting the ship with their eyes, as if they were using their sight instead of body movements, gnawing maliciously.
her nerves.
Where she couldn't see, there were still so many eyes following them silently, watching them silently.
-And they know nothing?
Until the firelight faded, Wenying still stood there blankly, staring into the darkness with her eyes wide open. She didn't know whether she was more afraid of seeing something again, or whether she was more afraid of turning a blind eye to the real horror. Summer Night
In the warm night wind, she shivered hard. Because the monsters did not move further, and the people on the bow of the boat had not yet woken up.
Wenying's whole body seemed to be frozen, and her joints could not move. She could only move her limbs stiffly and with funny movements. The sound of wetness continued in her ears, and she spent a lot of effort to get closer to Kanna-kun.
.
"Those things...when did they start following us?"
Kanna-kun did not fall asleep.
"Before dark." Kanna-kun said calmly.
Just such a gentle conversation still made everyone open their eyes. Xie Zhe looked around alertly.
"What happened? Or is there something...that I didn't see?"
"It's normal for the celestial eye not to see. They are very cunning and very good at hiding themselves. In front of this simple mimicry and disguise, your eyes are the same as ordinary people."
Jiao Mo couldn't help but sweat. She frowned and whispered softly: "I really didn't notice..."
Han Chang glanced at Wenying helplessly and patted her back to comfort her. Then, he turned to Kanna-kun and said, "As expected... I noticed them early on. But I believe that since you didn't take any action,
, there should be some reasons. But, what are those?"
"Some...acquaintances." Kanna-kun stretched out his hands and skillfully drew out his two swords, "There's no need to deal with them."
After saying that, he jumped onto the side of the ship with one step and stood firmly there. He waved the two knives downward vigorously, and two gusts of wind struck the sea, straight like two snakes from both sides of the hull.
Rushing to the back, splashing a stream of water
Before the water splash fell, although they did not see it clearly, they clearly felt that many Yaksha retreated and took a few steps back to escape this place of right and wrong. It seemed that this pair of scimitars
left to their ancestors
It left a deep enough impression that the fear was engraved in the bone marrow and passed down from generation to generation. However, not all yakshas were wise enough, and there were still many who were not afraid of death. Several people felt that this boat had become worse than
more before
It was bumpy, and this was by no means an illusion. It was obvious that there were not only Yashas on the rocks, but also many people making waves in darker places in the sea. Kanna-kun would not be shaken down so easily. He turned around and looked at her through the curtain.
They said:
"ignition."
"Are they afraid of fire?"
"Don't be afraid, the dark firelight will attract them."
"That--"
"They all have to be beaten. It's more convenient to put them together."
