twin moon

Chapter 153 No.20 Scene [-]

The night is as dark as ink, and the sea is filled with fog. Not long ago, the moonlight, which was as bright as frost, seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle, and gradually dimmed.Lights were lit everywhere on the ship, and in the orange halo, people were horrified to see countless murlocs with skin as pale as water ghosts, with their weapons biting between their teeth, walking along the gaps and gaps beside the ship's side. Raised, crawling towards the deck with bare hands from all directions!
There was a mess on the ship in an instant, and the sailors who hadn't had time to get dressed rushed out of the cabin with the sound of horns.Some of them were shirtless, and many of them only wore a water jacket, let alone armor.On the other hand, the murloc army was all wearing armor made of huge seashells and turtle shells, which stood out in comparison.

The murlocs easily killed the first sailors who rushed to the deck.Under the moonlight, the originally calm sea suddenly turned into a bloody Shura field.Hearing the sound of the horn, Qi Ziyin poked his head out from the cabin, but before he could see the situation outside clearly, he saw a cold light flash from the corner of his eyes, and it was a murloc slashing at his head with a knife in his hand!
The boy quickly retracted his neck, only to hear a "beep", the blade made of whalebone brushed against his bun and chopped it over, hitting the door panel hard.The murloc pulled out the knife a few times but failed to get it out, so he pulled out a short protective blade from his waist and continued to attack Qi Ziyin.

The teenager hastily stepped back two steps, avoiding the deadly weapon in the opponent's hand.But hiding in this way also made him a little further away from Yin Ya on the shelf beside the door!
Suddenly, Qi Ziyin's feet tripped over something, and he staggered and fell to the side of the couch.The murloc also took the opportunity to bully him.In desperation, the young man had no choice but to pick up the thing that was catching him on the ground with his backhand, and without thinking about it, he threw it hard at the opponent's face.

There was only a sound of "bang", the object just hit the short blade in the hand of the opposite murloc, and broke in response.It turned out that it was the chamber pot that the boy used to get up at night, and the excrement in it immediately splashed all over the boy's body.

"Boy from land, how dare you humiliate me with urine!"

The murloc was taken aback for a moment, and then became more and more annoyed.However, before he continued to attack, he saw a figure at the door flashing suddenly, and then struck the murloc's neck with a hand knife, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

"Is Young Master Ziyin alright?"

Behind the visitor was another person with silver hair and trembling, it was Mo Chen and Mo Zeming.The two masters and servants rushed into the cabin quickly, and then moved a cabinet to firmly block the door.

With the support of the other party, the boy in white stood up again, and hurriedly asked, "What happened outside?"

"The little Patriarch was watching the stars on the deck after nightfall, but it was getting foggy. We were about to return to the cabin when we heard the sound of the trumpet, and were soon forced to retreat all the way by the murlocs who came onto the ship. When I saw this guy smashing your hatch, I followed him."

As Mo Chen said, he pulled out Yinya from the frame and wanted to stab the fainted murloc in the back, but was held down by the boy in white:
"Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter, Young Master Ziyin? These monsters have killed countless people, why should they keep their lives?"

"Killing one of them won't help. It's better to tie him up and lock him in the cabin. Maybe we can get something out of his mouth."

Qi Ziyin insisted on keeping the prisoners, but continued to ask about the situation on the deck.

"I heard that Ms. Leng ordered all the old, weak, women and children on the ship to hide in the lower warehouse. Right now, she and Commander Fan are personally leading a team to organize resistance at the stern of the ship. We originally planned to find them, and together We're discussing countermeasures. It's just that the deck is full of murlocs right now, so it's impossible to break through the siege in such a situation."

"Even if it's impossible, I still have to try it. Everyone on the ship is already in a mess. If they can't organize an effective defense as soon as possible, even if they hide in this cabin, they will be exhausted!"

The boy in white took Yinya from the opponent's hand as he spoke.After the cabin door was opened, there was a black army of murlocs outside, more than a hundred of them, like a group of white ghosts dancing on the deck.Seeing where there are still living land people, they will immediately flock to surround them and kill them.So ruthless and ruthless, anyone who sees him can't help but break out in cold sweat.

"Give me all of them!"

Qi Ziyin yelled, held the two sabers upside down, poured his strength into his arms, and slammed forward with all his might.This is one of the five royal swords taught to Baili - Mu Niu Chong, which is exactly the way to break into the chaos.And the pair of double blades in his hands are like a pair of horns at the moment, protecting the vitals from one left to the other.

Immediately, the murloc in front of the door was instantly knocked to the ground.The young man stepped forward quickly and stunned them one by one with the spine of the knife, but he didn't take the life of the other party. Then he turned his head and shouted at his companions:
"Mo Chen, protect Brother Zeming, follow me and don't get separated!"

In this way, relying on this set of Wu Yu Dao techniques that he had already mastered, Qi Ziyin rescued many sailors who were trapped in a dead end and unable to break out.They grabbed the weapons and protective gear from the murlocs along the way, and gradually assembled a considerable armed force. They fought all the way to the stern of the ship, and finally succeeded in rendezvous with Leng Jiayun and Fan Zhen who were fighting hard.

Right now, what Leng Jiayun is holding in his hand is the soft sword drawn from his waist.She had just chopped down a murloc beside her, and seeing the boy killing him from a distance, she couldn't believe her eyes, and then ran forward ecstatically, hugging him tightly in her arms:
"Ziyin! You guys—how did you get here?"

Qi Ziyin shook his head lightly: "Now is not the time to say these words, we must defend with all our strength! Otherwise, if those murlocs capture the stern of the ship again, all the old and weak women and children hiding under the cabin will die!"

"What can you do?"

"The terrain at the stern of the ship is the highest now, and the murlocs can't easily attack. Most of the enemies are still gathered on the deck in the center of the ship, unable to form an effective offensive. In addition, I brought a lot of men and some bows and crossbows. If the flying stone is used properly, it may be able to hold on for another hour and a half!"

"But what about an hour and a half later?"

"The siege of a city is all about going all out, then weakening, and finally exhausting. The murlocs who are attacking the ship are the same now. As long as we can resist the most vicious first wave of offensive right now, maybe we can have a chance!"

After some answers, Leng Jiayun suddenly felt that the young man in front of him had a faint shadow of Xiang Baili's back then—even though he was in deep trouble right now, the young man was still calm and determined.Looking at the flashing light in those amber pupils, she gradually believed that maybe she could really survive the desperate situation and hold this last position!

However, before everyone could bend their bows and regroup their defenses, strange things happened.For some unknown reason, the murloc army on the deck suddenly gave up the attack, and jumped back into the sea without a trace, as if they had never boarded the ship. Blood-soaked corpses.

As the ship swayed from side to side, the greasy blood on the deck, which was as deep as an inch, also spilled into the sea along the cracks in the planks, attracting a large group of sharks to linger around with their dorsal fins exposed, refusing to leave for a long time.

The unexpected turn of fate came so suddenly that the defenders on the ship couldn't help but feel a little bit astonished for a moment, and they murmured in low voices.Fan Zhen was even more suffocating in his chest, he inserted the long knife in his hand into the deck, and yelled loudly at the sea:

"Damn, you cunning water rats who take advantage of others' surprise! If you dare to come again, I will definitely take your ghost skin sacrificial flag!"

"If you are angry, don't say it so early. Although the murlocs have withdrawn now, it is uncertain when they will reappear. I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to deal with. We can only send more guards to watch the night and do a good job. Prepare!"

Leng Jiayun patted the other party's back heavily, and then ordered the sailors on both sides to arrange the wounded immediately and deal with the aftermath, but her face still couldn't help showing a trace of joy of escaping death.

Qi Ziyin's expression was not so relaxed, but he just stood there with his sword.The woman in purple quickly noticed the strangeness, walked to her side and asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong with you, Ziyin? Did the wound on your body open again?"

"I'm fine. But don't you all feel that the murlocs retreated a bit too fast just now?"

"You are too nervous. If it is true what the murloc's insider said, this time the other party is really trying to kill people and seize the ship, so as to prevent us from continuing to search for the ultimate power, why bother to follow us all the way from Qingwan So far we started? Our ship is fast, those monsters probably know that the reinforcements from the rear will not arrive in time, so they don’t dare to fight.”

"But just now they clearly had the upper hand in numbers. Even if they were only vanguards, they hadn't even used some tactics that I could think of. How could they give up easily after a few attacks? I think that the opponent boarding the ship for the first time, maybe for some other reason!"

Qi Ziyin still felt something was wrong, and when he raised his head, he saw that the side of the mainsail hanging on the mast had been cut off at some point, hanging loosely in the air.There were a few big holes in the sail surface, and he couldn't hold the wind anymore, so he hurriedly shouted orders, but his voice was a bit hoarse:
"Go to other places on the ship to see if there is any damage!"

Sure enough, the sent sailors soon reported back—the complex mechanism used to control the rudder underwater on the ship was completely destroyed by the murlocs, breaking in two.

"Damn, these insidious water rats! Are they trying to trap us here so that they can come back? Qingwan people are not vegetarians. Just destroying a ship can't trap us! The damaged part belongs to Let me lead people to repair it, and I should be able to repair it well before dawn!"

Fan Zhen cursed a few more words, then immediately started to climb up the mainmast, intending to reconnect the broken sail rope.But the boy in white stopped him:
"It's useless. As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. It is absolutely impossible for those murlocs to launch such a battle this time just to destroy our sails and rudder. Order the ship to strengthen security everywhere. I'm afraid they still have a strong backlash." Come out! Even if not, there is no guarantee that Chanyinghai will easily spare us!"

Helpless, Qi Ziyin's words were hit again this time.Before he finished speaking, he felt something falling on his face in mid-air, it was icy cold, as if it was raining.With a thunderclap, lightning in the clouds illuminated the entire sea.In the bright white light, hailstones the size of soybeans fell without warning, hitting everyone's heads and bodies fiercely.

The storm was approaching in an instant, but the huge ship that had lost its power could not avoid it at all, and could only drift towards the center of the storm along with the waves!Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly, and when everyone on the deck was hiding everywhere and had no time to care about other things, they suddenly saw a faint blue light glowing in the ink-like sea water with white foam in front of the bow.

"what is that?!"

Even an experienced sailor like Fan Zhen has never seen such a cloudy sea, and the expression on his face gradually changed from surprise to horror:
"What the hell weather is this! Could it be that the gods in the sky are angry? But what have we done wrong?"

The white-clothed boy at the side seemed not to hear the other party's words at all: "Brother Fan, it must be too late to repair the ship right now, let the sailors go below deck and get ready!"

"what to prepare?"

"Remember when we were in Qingwan, the leader of the murloc easily melted the stones we used to seal the road? He must be responsible for the current storm! The wave is coming!"

As Qi Ziyin spoke, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked towards the side of the sea.Under the lightning and thunder, a white line faintly appeared at the junction of the sea and the sky.The line is getting wider and wider, and the speed of progress is getting faster and faster.In the howling wind, there was a loud noise like a thousand troops and horses.

"Brothers, follow me to the cabin, raise the oars, and turn sharply to the left! Be sure to adjust the bow of the boat before the wave wall arrives!"

Fan Zhen finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately called more than [-] strong sailors to rush down the deck. Two people formed a group, and through the two symmetrical rows of small windows opened on the side, there would be four feet of water. Yu Chang's wooden oar stretched out.

The paddle is in the shape of a willow leaf. It is made of paulownia wood soaked in oil for 49 days, then hung over the fire and quenched to dry. It is tough and not easy to break.If there is no wind on weekdays, the huge warships can only rely on them to be driven by human power.However, even Fan Zhen is not sure whether it can still be used in such a terrifying storm.

The sailors chanted in unison, struggling to paddle the oars in their hands.With their hard work, the huge warship that was tossed and tossed in the undulating sea water gradually stopped shaking, and finally turned its direction.

However, since the rudder was completely destroyed by the murlocs, the turning speed of the battleship was obviously much slower.But the white line in the sea is getting closer and closer, covering the sky and covering the earth, like a city wall tens of feet high, pressing directly towards the side of the ship from the port side!
"Get ready, let's go!"

Qi Ziyin on the deck, like everyone else, had already tied himself tightly with cables, struggling to resist the turbulence and howling sea wind.There was a loud bang of "Peng", and the iron ram on the bow broke through the sea water, leading the warship to rush straight to the top of the huge wave.The salty sea water immediately drenched everyone's clothes, and poured directly into the cabin along the large and small gaps.

However, the angle between the boat and the wave wall was still too large, and the moment the two met, the big paulownia oars on the port side, which could move even ten thousand catties of boulders, were snapped off in unison!

The sailors who were struggling under the cabin immediately fell to the ground and rolled into a ball.Losing power on one side, the speed of the battleship also slowed down immediately.

The boy in white wiped his face vigorously - the bitterness of the sea water in his mouth made his tongue feel a little numb, and he was speechless for a while.At this moment, he couldn't see the situation ahead at all, so he could only pray silently in his heart that the battleship under his feet could successfully climb over this mountain-like huge wave.If not, I'm afraid it will only end up being overturned by huge waves and unable to float anymore.

"Go some more, go some more!"

Amid the unanimous shouts of everyone on board, the battleship finally rushed to the highest point of the wave wall!However, no one cheered because the surge under the ship's belly had already arced in mid-air and quickly began to collapse downward.And the blue light on the bottom of the sea didn't dissipate, instead it stirred in the water as if it had life.

In the blink of an eye, a gigantic vortex appeared on the sea in front of the bow.It is so huge that it looks like a monster devouring seawater greedily.After all, manpower is still invincible. Today's lone ship not only has no sails and rudder, but also lost one long oar. Great suction.

Suddenly, there was another loud "click" above everyone's heads—even though the sail was not hoisted, the main mast was broken in the middle in the increasingly violent wind.Afterwards, the whole ship was swirled by the storm and huge waves, and it slid deeper and deeper towards the center of the vortex ahead, turning faster and faster...
