But now is not the time to fully experience the joy. Time waits for no one, let alone the fox. It jumped up again, threw a golden olive into its paws, and continued to enjoy it.
But this time, the little fox's body, without her knowing it, was originally a tail, but in a trance, a second tail appeared.
But just like the first time, this appearance only lasted for a short moment before a tail was restored again.
"Chirp!" The little fox, who was unaware of all this, could only feel that her internal organs were so comfortable that she narrowed her eyes and wagged her tail.
So, after the second one was finally absorbed, she pounced on the third one again. Above the official ship, the golden olives disappeared one after another. When she finished eating the sixth one, she finally couldn't help being drunk and said, "Pop!"
He fell to the ground with a sound, rolled up his tail, covered himself, and fell asleep snoring.
Far away on the sea, under the cover of night, in a mysterious and deep place, a huge sea snake is sneaking underwater.
A figure who is not too short, but is almost unnoticeable sitting on the water snake, is sneaking in the water with the water snake.
The boat that the little fox was originally on had several lanterns with the word "ginger" hanging on it. This was a merchant ship belonging to the Jiang family's caravan. This time, it went to the southwest with the Jiang family's caravan. There were also seven merchant ships following the Jiang family's caravan.
The ship is carrying some specialties from the capital city. The plan is to transport them to the southwest to make a fortune, and then transport the specialties from the southwest back to the capital to make another fortune.
Most of the caravans that followed had this plan.
In the past, when traveling back and forth for such a long time, I would worry about encountering water pirates, but if I follow the imperial envoy's official ship, I am no longer worried.
At this time, the sailors on the ship worked overtime to prevent natural problems on the sea, rather than worrying about pirates.
At this time, the wind was not strong and there were merchant ships around, so everyone was naturally relatively relaxed.
Only the boatman on the boat was a little drowsy. He was also from the Jiang family. He glanced at the cabin and was just thinking.
What the wild Taoist said made him frightened. Is he really guilty of Tai Sui? Everything is going wrong this year?
I thought it was true, but I refused to believe it. In the dim light of the fire, I thought about it again and again, and sighed, saying: "I'm going to take a rest, Zhuzi, and give one of the fresh fish I caught just now to Mr. Lu inside."
Send it."
Zhuzi is an ancestral fisherman, he has all the skills on the water, and he can handle good fish. He listened to the instructions and agreed: "Okay, boss, I'll go right away."
As he said that, he went to get the fish. At this moment, there was a loud "wow", and a big wave sprayed out spray, and the splashing pillars were scattered all over him. Just then, when he was about to scold, he saw a huge hole drilled out under the moonlight.
Snake head.
Zhuzi was stunned for a moment, and a sailor who was walking on the deck looked up when he heard the sound. At this sight, he was so frightened that his whole body shook like chaff.
"Monster, monster-" Several sailors not far away who were packing their things also saw the giant snake and screamed in fright.
The sea snake's eyes were as big as wheels, with a cold light. Before the sailors could react and run away, they swooped down, opened their mouths wide, and bit them directly.
A sailor was bitten and screamed in the air. The smell of blood soon filled the air. Other sailors saw this and screamed even more fiercely.
People on several nearby merchant ships also saw this scene, and there was a commotion. Everyone was frightened and ran away.
"Boss, boss, there are monsters, boss -" Zhuzi rolled and crawled to the cabin where the captain lived, banging the door vigorously.
The boatman just lay down when he heard someone screaming outside the door. He quickly got up and opened the door.
Before he could ask, Zhu Zhu fell directly in, grabbed his legs, and shouted: "Boss, there are monsters! There are monsters eating people!"
"Monster?!" Living in this world where monsters, especially water monsters, are raging, when the boatman heard these words, although his face turned pale, he subconsciously thought of the comment from the wild Taoist - Mr. Lu was right, he had indeed committed the annual crime
Tai Sui.
I was doubting Mr. Lu just now, but this time I believe it. If you survive, you will be rewarded heavily.
Thinking like this, he immediately said: "Hurry, set off fireworks and ask for help from the official ship!"
When the Wei Dynasty opened up sea routes, they formulated a system for calling for help with fireworks. Every ship had this kind of special fireworks. Although we don’t know how many monsters appeared outside, and we don’t know if they only attacked merchant ships. The boatman was still the first.
A request for help was issued at this time.
It just so happens that there is an imperial fleet nearby, which will surely be useful in a critical moment.
"Chief, the first mate has already gone to get the fireworks!" Zhu Zhu said tremblingly.
At this time, the first mate who had come out of the warehouse mustered up the courage to return to the deck with his legs weak. At this time, the sea snake was swallowing a sailor. The sailor was still struggling desperately at the throat, so it did not
If we launch another attack, we will just circle around the merchant ship.
The first mate immediately lit the fireworks in his hand, his hands shaking so much that he lit it twice before he succeeded, and immediately jumped into the passage.
"Boom, bang"
The word "rescue" can be seen clearly from miles away as bright fireworks explode over the merchant ship.
"What's the sound?" The wild Taoist was originally sleeping in the cabin. Because he was too tired, he fell asleep a little deeply. The cabin doors and windows were closed tightly, and most of the sounds outside were covered. However, despite this, he was also surrounded by several
I woke up with a scream.
The wild Taoist rolled down from the couch and reached out his hand to touch the dagger. Out of caution, he slept in his clothes and didn't even take off his shoes, so as soon as he rolled down, he held the dagger directly towards the hatch.
, and listened carefully.
"It's not that someone is targeting me. The sound came from the deck. It seems like something happened." Realizing that there was no danger outside the door, the wild man felt relieved, opened the door gently, and got out quietly.
The corridor of the cabin is dark, and no one enters the cabin at all. Everyone knows that those hiding in the cabin will die the fastest if something goes wrong. However, in other cabins, some people are not so bold and are trembling in fear.
"Brother, what happened?" A bolder one asked tremblingly through the crack of the door.
The wild man didn't say a word, got in touch with him, and didn't go out immediately. His skill was naturally not comparable to that of a sailor who had already panicked, so even if there were several sailors screaming or fighting not far away, he didn't even notice him hiding in the corner.
With a person.
It was dark, but I could still see a sailor not far away trying to escape, but he didn't know where to escape. After all, the ship was so big. In the panic, he tripped over some debris and fell to the ground. Then, it seemed like a round figure
The black shadow moved, and a scream came out.
"No, something is wrong outside." The wild man held his breath and immediately deduced that something terrible must have happened on the deck.
