The mages went to the Antarctic, and Bai Yue returned to the Qilin Continent. The work was all assigned, and Xia Han took the opportunity to sleep. At this night, people from all over the world who made a living from the sea were migrating inland. In the past,
The bustling seaport was also blocked.
Fish Island is a peninsula extending into the ocean in the eastern part of the Chunhui Empire. The residents on the island have made a living by fishing for generations. Although the evacuation order from Xia Hanfa was passed, there were still some brave fishermen who went out to sea under the cover of night.
.
A medium-sized fishing boat carried a dozen sailors and sailed on the bright red sea.
"Captain, today's blood moon is too full, which is a bad omen." The young deputy looked through the window at the blood-red water and the huge full moon that was independent of the sky, and couldn't help but think of the warnings from his ancestors.
The Emerald Moon and the Blood Moon are sacred objects that have shrouded the world for tens of thousands of years, but the Blood Moon without the Emerald Moon is a disaster.
"What are you afraid of? The moon was like this in the past few days. Nothing happened to us, right?" The middle-aged captain with a beard glared at his deputy: "Don't be suspicious, those biting monsters have stopped fighting with us.
Now is a great time to go to sea!”
"But captain, didn't those knights tell us that there was danger in the sea and tell us to prepare to leave?"
"Leaving is tomorrow, and how can we just leave?" The captain raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "Now that everyone is not going to sea, the price of fish has risen sharply, and our income from this trip is at least more than usual.
three times."
"Why don't you do such a good thing? You don't want the money anymore?"
As soon as he heard about the money, the deputy immediately had no objections. To be honest, even if he didn't go to sea, he was full of fear for the future. The knights who came to organize the relocation said nothing, at least they were asked to evacuate from the seaside.
But how can these people just leave? They know nothing but fishing, how can they live outside? After all, money is more important.
Maybe it’s because not many fishermen have gone out to sea recently. Although it’s not a good time for fishing, the boat still made a considerable harvest. The fish caught in the net filled the entire deck, and they were so lively that it was easy to see.
Be happy.
Every sailor smiled, and they could get a lot of money from selling these fish.
"Captain, can we return home?"
the deputy asked again.
At this moment, a vague and melodious song suddenly came from the sea. The soft female voice seemed extremely sad, and people couldn't help but picture a beautiful woman sitting on the rocks crying in their minds.
Some sailors looked intoxicated, but more people's expressions changed drastically.
"No, it's a mermaid!"
These people who have lived by the sea for many years naturally understand what it means to hear singing when they go out to sea. It is the singing of mermaids to lure fishermen. Their voices are very beautiful. However, once they are deceived, no one on the boat will be spared.
.
"Quick, turn the boat around and everyone take out their earplugs!"
The captain's face suddenly changed. He knew that the mermaid's song would become more and more charming as time went by. In just a few minutes, everyone on the ship would be captured by the song. Fortunately, their ancestors had already prepared ways to deal with the mermaid.
Everyone who goes to sea will bring cloth earplugs with them.
The sailors hurriedly put on their earplugs, and their heads suddenly became clear.
They changed the direction of the boat according to the captain's gesture and quickly sailed towards the shore, gradually getting away from the mermaid's song. After leaving far away, the captain tentatively took out an earplug and was relieved when he found that he could no longer hear the sound.
Others took off their earplugs.
"I haven't heard the mermaid's song offshore for many years, why did it appear now?" The deputy looked confused, but the captain's face turned dark. He somewhat understood the reason why the noble knight asked them to move.
After I go back this time I can never come out again.
After escaping the disaster, everyone on the ship was relieved. Judging from past traditions, mermaids would not do anything else except using their songs to lure people. And they had left the range of the songs and were safe and sound.
However, just when they lowered their guard, a huge black shadow appeared under the sea.
"Captain! Captain! Look what is this?"
When the sailors discovered something unusual, the bloody sea surface quickly turned into darkness, and a huge creature was rushing up from the bottom of the sea.
Whale? Squid?
Even the captain has never encountered such a behemoth. He is just a captain who makes a living by fishing. Naturally, he cannot be as experienced as those captains who trade across seas. However, despite his lack of experience, the captain quickly issued an order
Order.
"Horn! Send the flare quickly!"
There was a piercing scream, followed by a flare with a tail flame fired into the sky, exploding into a brilliant display of fireworks.
Screams are weapons that deter undersea creatures. This sound activated by magic crystals can drive away many creatures that do not want to be enemies of humans. However, crystals are expensive and fishermen rarely use them. As for flares like fireworks, they can
Notify people on the coast.
If they are unlucky and the siren fails to drive away the monster, then they will have to fight hard and wait for rescue.
The black shadow is getting closer and closer, and just when the captain is preparing people to fight, white and red things rush out from the surroundings, and water sprays everywhere! If you look closely, it is actually a huge mouth: red mouth, white
Its sharp teeth wrapped the fishing boat in the center.
The air in the entire ship froze instantly, and before the crew could even react, the giant tongue rolled up the fishing boat, and its white sharp teeth rushed over.
"Boom" sawdust flew everywhere, blood filled the sea, and the roar of the broken ship covered up the screams of the crew. In just a moment, the fishing boat loaded with cargo disappeared into the vast sea.
A giant fish leaped out, its eyes bigger than the carriage flashed in the moonlight, and then it splashed countless water and disappeared without a trace.
This night, the tide has not yet risen, but monsters from the deep sea have gathered next to the continents of the entire world. These cruel, bloodthirsty, and irrational monsters have formed a strong blockade, and the ocean roads between the continents have been completely interrupted.
.
Although this kind of interruption could not stop the footsteps of the strong men in the mainland, it fixed the army's power on every road. Except for mages, there was no other army that could move on a large scale.
"Now, what should we compete for tomorrow?"
That night, Xia Han had a dream. He dreamed of a foreign race that he had never missed before, a mermaid who liked to sing.
"I like your songs, but why don't you sing more happily?" (To be continued...)
