Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 305 Fog

After a stick of incense, all the people on board rushed to the deck, eagerly watching.

But in front of the warship, an island appeared.

Moreover, the island is not like an ordinary small island, and there is more than one.

After sailing for ten days, they suddenly saw an island, which naturally made everyone excited.

"No way?" Wu Yubao was astonished, "Could it be...we've arrived in the lemon country so soon?"

"That's right," said a soldier, "It is said that the Prune Lemon is connected to the two countries on the other side, and they came here by cutting off the island. It looks very similar..."

"No... No..." Xiao Zhennan shook his head repeatedly with a compass in his hand, "It doesn't make sense to go so fast. According to the speed of the ship, it will take at least five days to arrive."

At this time, Han Feier placed the chart on the bow of the ship and measured the position with a special instrument.

After measuring, she shook her head again and again, indicating that the island that suddenly appeared should not be the Lime Country or the Other Shore Country.

"But..." she added, "there is no indication on the sea chart that there is an island here. There shouldn't be an island with such a large area, right?"

"What about him?" Huo Anu said from the side, "Such a big island should be inhabited, right? If you go and ask, you will know where it is?"

"That's right," Dai Long echoed, "Master Xiao Hai, let's drive over to have a look?"

"This..." Xiao Zhennan seemed a little embarrassed, and didn't express his opinion immediately.

At the critical moment, Xu Zun's mind was still alive, he snapped his fingers immediately, and ordered to Li Xing:

"Hurry up, bring those prisoners here!"

Everyone immediately understood what Xu Zun meant. He wanted to ask the captives if they knew about this island.
In case there are pirates from the Izumo Kingdom hidden on this island, precautions can be taken early.

After a while, four prisoners were brought on deck.

Unexpectedly, everyone was pointing at the island to let them identify it, but suddenly found that the island was gone!

Hey?
Everyone leaned on the side of the boat to watch, only to find that a thick fog rose from the sea, hiding the entire island in the thick fog.

At this time, just as the sun was setting, as the light dimmed, the vision became more and more blurred.

Xiao Zhennan showed the chart to several captives. After some questioning and communication, the captives shook their heads like rattles, indicating that they had never been to the southern part of the East China Sea.

"It's not right..." Han Feier looked at the thick fog in the distance and said, "It's dark and night long, and the temperature drops suddenly to produce fog.

"Although the fog gathers at night, it's at its thickest in the early morning.

"But now this fog..." She frowned and said cautiously, "It's a bit evil!"

"Cough cough..."

At this time, Xiao Zhennan coughed quickly, reminding Han Feier not to speak too casually.

Her words are very likely to cause the soldiers to panic.

As the captain of a ship, one must maintain reason and calmness at all times, let alone guess at will.

Sure enough, although Han Feier's voice was low, it was still heard by a certain soldier, and he immediately showed a disturbed expression.

It was only then that Han Feier realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, shut up hastily, and retreated behind Xiao Zhennan.

"My lord..." Xiao Zhennan was really steady, and immediately asked Xu Zun for his opinion, "There is no mark on the sea chart of this island. Look, do we need to check it?"

Although Xu Zun has no sailing experience, he has studied geography in junior high school. He knows that the formation of sea fog is not only caused by temperature differences, but also by ocean currents.

Sea fog forms when warm, moist air flows over cooler oceans.

This place is south of the East China Sea, so there is a high probability that the warm and humid air from the south will flow through this place, so it should be normal for such a thick fog to form in the evening.

However, Xu Zun didn't know if this world was the same as the original world?
"Captain Xiao," Xu Zun said in public, "Our mission is to find Prince Daxuan, so we shouldn't miss the island we saw, let alone...it's such a big one!"

Xu Zun's words were clear and concise, which not only showed his position, but also stabilized the morale of the army.

"Okay!" Xiao Zhen Nanchong ordered the soldiers, "Put up the mainsail, reduce the speed of the boat, and be careful of the rocks..."

Under Xiao Zhennan's command, the warship slowed down and slowly moved towards the thick fog.

There are wooden boats on both sides of the warship. After the big ship sails into the shallow water, the island can only be entered by a small boat.

Looking not far away, the warship sailed for a full hour before entering the dense fog.

The dense fog has a lot of water vapor, and when it falls on the body, it will condense into water droplets and moisten the clothes...

"careful!"

Xiao Zhennan stood at the bow of the boat and looked under the boat carefully, but the sea fog was so thick that he couldn't see the sea surface at all, only a pitch-black mass.

It felt horrifying, like the warship had led itself into a terrifying dark tunnel.

There was no sound in the surroundings, a dead silence, only the creaking sound of the hull of the warship and the rustling sound of dripping water from the sails could be heard.

Xiao Zhennan was worried about whether there would be hidden reefs near the island, so he ordered the speed of the boat to be reduced to a minimum.

Because the light was too dark, he asked the soldiers on the deck to light torches.

The torch was lit, and was soon wet by the mist, emitting thick smoke and buzzing sounds...

"My lord," Zhao Yu wisely reminded Xu Zun even though he had never been on a sea boat, "you'd better find something to hold on to, so as not to bump into something later."

"What a thick fog!" Ani looked around and couldn't even see the situation on the deck clearly.

At such a time, the crowd no longer dared to speak out, and all listened attentively to Xiao Zhennan's command.

Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone calmed down, Xiao Zhennan at the bow of the boat shouted in horror: "Stop! Stop the boat! Anchor!!!"

what?
Hearing Xiao Zhennan's terrified shout, the sailors did not dare to neglect, and immediately carried out the order.

Xu Zun and the others also subconsciously grasped the railing, waiting for the coming shock.

However, everyone waited for a long time, and as the speed of the ship became slower and slower, the expected collision did not occur at all.

"Then...then..." At this time, Han Feier's terrified voice came from the bow again, "What is that!!?"

Xu Zun felt more and more wrong, hurried to the bow of the boat, and looked in the direction Xiao Zhennan and his wife were looking at!

As a result, upon seeing this, Xu Zun hugged his head subconsciously, as if he was about to be hit by something!
"Oh!" Zhao Yu, who followed closely behind, was also taken aback and almost fell to his knees on the bow of the boat.

"This..." Huo Anu nervously clenched the iron umbrella, looking up at the side of the bow, his face full of disbelief, "What is this?"

squeak...

With the anchor sinking, the warship finally stopped sliding.

Everyone's eyes were all attracted by a huge monster on the right side of the bow!
But seeing a huge shadow soaring up to the sky, I don't know how big it is.

Moreover, there seems to be some texture on this thing, and it can be seen at a glance that it should not be a cliff.

"I... I come... I come!"

At this time, Shangguan Min suddenly appeared, he put a rocket on the bowstring, and shot towards the direction of the huge monster...

With the flash of fire, everyone finally saw clearly what this huge monster was!
"Anuqie!" Huo Anu was the first to exclaim, "Is this...a ship!!?"
