Chapter 165: Growing Up
After blocking the insect mist at the southern port, Su Xing and the others took a large ship and sailed south.
Early the next morning, news came from a foundation-building monk: After the ice thunder wall disappeared, insect fog had begun to invade the southern sea.
Insect mist can invade the sea.
This discovery made Su Xing give up the idea of finding an island to live in peace.
He could only bite the bullet and take a boat to continue heading to the 'Deceitful Sea Area'.
also.
In order to prevent the insect mist from catching up, the old man ordered all the sailors on the ship to row the oars at the same time to speed up the voyage.
At full speed, the ship successfully sailed into the treacherous sea in only a day and a half...
…
Birthday star, Guihai District.
On the deck of the big ship.
Karl used his spiritual power and tried to levitate above the ship.
"It really can't fly."
After many attempts to no avail, he shook his head and said: "I can feel that there seems to be some force restricting me in this strange sea. As soon as I fly into the sky, the force will forcefully pull me down."
"I feel it too."
Behind Carl.
Su Xing was also helpless: "It seems that this treacherous sea can only be crossed by boat... I just don't know what dangers you will encounter by boat."
Karl guessed: "It should be a sea monster, right? Or some other relatively large beast..."
Let’s talk here.
Su Xing looked at the old man on the side and asked aloud: "Fellow Taoist, I remember you said before that there is a precedent of a ship crossing the strange sea in Luzhou, Beiju? Were the big ships those people were on? Were they reinforced by magic?"
"The boat that that group of people took was an ordinary boat, but..."
The old man replied: "According to historical records, when the ship docked at Beiju Luzhou, all the people on board went crazy, and no one knew why."
Su Xing wondered: "Since everyone is crazy, how did they get the boat to Luzhou in Beiju?"
"By the sail."
The old man said: "Maybe it was luck. The boat happened to be blown to the shore by the sea wind, and then it was seen by the fishermen on the shore... Moreover, when the boat was discovered, there was no damage.
, this shows that there should be no sea monsters in the Devious Sea."
Since the crew crossing the treacherous sea will go crazy at any time for no reason...
In order to avoid this situation from happening, Su Xing and the others set up a special inspection team on the ship after some discussion.
The main task of this team is to check the mental state of the crew and report the situation to Su Xing and the others in a timely manner...
…
It was so peaceful that three days passed quickly.
In the Guild Sea area, in the aisle on the second floor of the cabin.
Just like the previous two days.
After Nell got up, he first basked in the sun by the window for nearly an hour, and then took his men to check the mental condition of the crew.
Although Nell has the foundation-building level of cultivation and can get a place to board the ship, he is not qualified to be the captain of the inspection team.
but.
Therefore, he had a merit in delivering the news of the "Incoming Bug Fog", and he had a chance meeting with the old man at the Marsh Conrad ice wall three years ago.
Based on this, he became the captain of the inspection team shortly after boarding the ship.
As usual, the first thing the inspection team will inspect is Dormitory No. 1 located on the second floor of the cabin....
in the corridor.
Just as Nell was about to open the door of Dormitory No. 1, he smelled a strong smell of blood coming from the dormitory.
Other members of the team were also aware of this smell: "Captain, you smell it too, right? People in this dormitory shouldn't..."
"You guys stand back first!"
Nell always acted cautiously.
After realizing that something was abnormal, he first ordered the team members around him to disperse, and then carefully opened the door of Dormitory No. 1.
Suddenly, a stronger and more pungent smell of blood hit his face.
Nell glanced into the room and saw the crew members of Dormitory No. 1 sitting cross-legged on countless bloody corpses.
The crew members were all mumbling something, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
Although it was daytime at this time, the curtains in dormitory No. 1 had been drawn down, which made the whole room look even more eerie.
Seeing the bloody scene in front of her, Nell's breathing became rapid.
After a few seconds, he said angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you keeping the curtains open in broad daylight? How can you absorb the sun's rays? Don't you want to grow up?"
"My lord, have you forgotten?"
Inside Dormitory No. 1.
A crew member sitting on a plate of corpses opened his eyes and explained: "Our dormitory No. 1 is full of mushrooms, so we can't absorb the sun. If we want to grow up, we have to grow from decaying animals and plants, or humans."
Get nourished.”
"Ah, yes, yes! Look at my memory!"
Hearing what the crew member said, Nell looked astonished and said with a smile: "Then you guys can continue to grow up. I'll go next door to check."
Seeing Nell leave, the crew members in Dormitory No. 1 shook off the blood on their hands and said in a respectful tone: "Sir, please go slowly!"
In the corridor, all the crew members treated each other with respect, showing a harmonious scene on the ship.
And it's not just Nell.
The other members of the inspection team also breathed a sigh of relief and started talking quietly after hearing the explanation from the crew in Dormitory No. 1.
"Oh, I was scared to death. I thought everyone in dormitory No. 1 was crazy and didn't want to grow up... It turns out they were just absorbing nutrients."
"Looking at your timidity, Mugu's habits are definitely different from ours. What's all the fuss about..."
Amidst the laughter, Nell came to the door of Dormitory No. 2 again.
Compared to dormitory No. 1, the people in dormitory No. 2 appear to be much more normal.
At this moment.
The crew members in Dormitory No. 2 were either squatting or sitting by the windows, trying hard to absorb the early morning sunlight.
But among them, one crew member behaved very suspiciously.
The crew member seemed to have gone crazy, huddled in the corner of the room with a look of horror on his face.
Seeing this scene, Nell frowned and said, "What's going on with that man? Why is he huddled in a corner this early in the morning instead of absorbing the sun's rays?"
"grown ups."
Under the window, a crew member was basking in the sun and said: "I guess this freak has a mental problem. Look at the expression on his face, and you don't know what he is afraid of. He doesn't even come to bask in the sun.
...How can he grow bigger if this continues?"
"This person doesn't want to bask in the sun, which is indeed a problem."
Nell frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "How about we send him to Dormitory No. 1 to use him as nourishment for those orphaned mushrooms!"
In the corner of the house.
After hearing what Nell said, the 'freak''s face became even more horrified.
His whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
In order not to be used as food, he moved step by step towards the window, showing a smile that was uglier than crying: "Sir, I want to grow up, I am planning to bask in the sun."
"You lied!"
As soon as the 'freak' finished speaking, a crew member retorted: "You didn't drink water at all this morning. How could you grow bigger if you didn't drink water and only basked in the sun?"
Chapter completed!
