Chapter 75, Scene [-], The First Battle, Part [-]

After several rounds of salvos, the brigade suddenly sounded a loud horn, and then lit the lights.In the dense fog, one could see the figure of Chuochuo on it moving, and then a man's voice pierced through the thick fog, and issued a final warning to the Ye Guozhou Master:

"Everyone on the opposite ship is waiting, don't act rashly again! If you want to save your dog's life, put down your weapons and wait for capture!"

After all, Xie Xun was the leading general, how could he swallow such a mouthful of anger, and immediately responded with a high voice: "Speak wild words! You are so disobedient, don't you know that the one who ambushed you was the boat master of the State of Ye?!"

Who would have thought that after hearing what he said, the man on the opposite ship became more and more rampant: "If we don't know the details, how can we attack rashly? Tonight, we are waiting for the Ye Guo boat master to come in the Tiannu Strait of!"

"Damn it! Who on the other side of the ship dared to attack the master of Ye State! Could it be that the more than ten ships on our left wing have all been sunk right now?! What kind of sorcery and power is the opponent's envoy? So huge?!"

Knowing that the enemy was coming prepared, Xie Xun couldn't help but rattled the wooden railing on the ship's side—after all, Qi Ziyin's identity was special, and this accident happened before halfway through the journey, if something went wrong, even if he could Going back alive to return to the country's lord must be to blame.

The boy in white standing beside him suddenly shook his head forcefully:

"General Xie, the other party doesn't know any sorcery. Have you ever smelled a strange smell in the air? And this smell—I seem to have smelled it somewhere before!"

"This is the smell of saltpeter and sulfur!"

At the same time, under the mainmast, with the help of the left and right soldiers, Jiang Yan got out from among the piles of broken wood.Although his head was bleeding from the smashed crossbow, his eyes shot out, like a leopard that has found its prey, "Ziyin, do you still remember when the pawn shop in the city caught fire three years ago? We also smelled exactly the same smell at the scene!"

"Could it be that mysterious man in the cloak came to the door again?!"

Hearing what his companion said, Qi Ziyin immediately shuddered, and there was a buzzing in his ears.No matter what, he couldn't figure out why that mysterious person always appeared by his side as a ghost after possessing such terrifying power?What exactly does the other party want?
"The fog is so thick that other warships have either been sunk or have passed through the strait through other waterways. No matter what the mysterious man wants to do, since he sent it to his door, it is better than looking for him in the vast sea of ​​people. Right now, the boat under our feet is much bigger than the square-sailed boat opposite, we just rush to hit it and sink it!"

As Jiang Yan spoke, he wanted to pull the rope of the sail on the mainmast.Seeing this, the boy in white hurriedly shouted:
"Don't act impulsively! The building and the ship are heavy, and it is estimated that before we rush to the front, there will be another salvo from the other side! Now the enemy is dark and we are clear, if there is more than one enemy ship hidden in the fog, Didn't it fall into the arms of the enemy?"

"Ziyin, don't you want to find out who is the mysterious person who gave up Luo Jianli three years ago and released Chi Lang to get rid of the three of us?"

The black-eyed boy stared open his eyes, obviously still brooding over what happened in the Human Bone Dungeon three years ago, and couldn't hear a word from his companion at all.Impulsively, he tugged at the cable beside him.The boy in white immediately wanted to rush forward, but because the two were too far apart, he couldn't stop him at all.

Just hearing a "Hurla", the huge mainsail fell from the top of the mast.Just in time for a gust of wind to blow from the sea, before the soldiers could get ready, the building speeded up suddenly, heading straight towards the hazy shadow of the enemy ship in the dense fog!

However, just as Qi Ziyin expected, even facing the fleet of Ye Kingdom that had already extinguished all the lights and hid in the night, the enemy would still be able to see everything that happened in the darkness.Almost at the same time, a series of thunderous loud noises sounded again in the dense fog.

The other party showed no mercy this time, and directly aimed at the vital points under the waterline of the building and boat.The iron-black projectile roared in the blink of an eye, piercing through several layers of thick wood at the bottom of the ship.Haishun poured into the watertight compartment in an instant, and the speed of the ship slowed down all of a sudden!

"Full port rudder, aim the bow at the enemy ship, don't let them hit the side again!"

Qi Ziyin thumped in his heart, and ordered loudly before the third round of salvo came.However, it was too late.The attack of the enemy ships did not stop there, and the filling efficiency of those fire-breathing iron bullets far exceeded everyone's imagination.In the blink of an eye, three consecutive salvos came again, but this time the opponent aimed at the large and small masts lined up on the deck!
Only a few clicks were heard, and the dense iron bullets directly cut the mainmast of the building into several pieces.The mainsail lost its support, and it was like a big net covering everyone's heads.

Seeing this, the people standing in the middle of the deck immediately scattered to dodge, but Jiang Yan remained the only one.He just stared at the mast that was falling towards him, raised his hand and pressed the long scar between his right eyebrows in a daze.

"Quickly open!"

At the critical moment, it was Qi Ziyin who flew forward and pushed the black-eyed boy away from the falling mast, only to save his friend from having his brain burst.The two of them finally stopped after rolling around on the deck for several times. The boy in white was panting heavily, never so angry as before:

"Are you crazy, General Yan?! There is a cloud in the army, life and death at sea overnight. You acted so impulsively, do you want to drag the whole ship to be buried with you?"

He shook his companion's shoulders violently, unable to understand why this usually calm friend became so reckless and reckless.

Jiang Yan didn't answer, but rested his hand on his forehead and stared at the deck under his feet absent-mindedly.Seeing his appearance, Qi Ziyin knew that it would be impossible to persuade him for a while, so he had to temporarily leave the other party behind and ask about the damage to the building.

While all this was happening, Ning Yue was standing not far away, silently looking at the two friends who had been laughing and playing together for many years, entangled and struggling, but she didn't know what she could do—before boarding the boat, she I thought that the three of them should have forgotten all the unhappiness that happened on the Qiqiao Festival.However, at this moment, she suddenly felt that she didn't know them any more.

It's just that she would never have guessed that the reason why Jiang Yan lost his mind was because a childhood memory that had been sealed for a long time in his mind was gradually becoming clear from fuzzy.

At the moment when the red-haired girl was in a trance, the building boat under everyone's feet that had lost power suddenly shook, as if it had hit something hard with the current.Soon, the panicked shouts of the soldiers also came from the direction of the stern:

"It hit the rocks! The bottom of the boat hit the rocks and ran aground!"

The ocean currents in the Tiannu Strait are irregular, sometimes east and west, sometimes south and sometimes north, especially where the reefs are dense.Not only are the waves surging on the surface of the water, but the underwater tide is also turbulent.At this moment, the building ship that lost its main mast instantly became a lone leaf in the sea, unable to control its own destiny, and could only drift with the current.

With only one collision, the hard reef completely tore up the bottom of the ship that had been damaged by iron bullets, but it also temporarily supported the further sinking building ship.At the same time, a sudden gust of wind blew away the mist that covered them, allowing the soldiers of Ye Kingdom to see clearly that there was not only one enemy ship hiding in the mist, but an army consisting of dozens of ships. A huge fleet of large and small warships.

The warships in that fleet were all black from top to bottom, and even the sails were the color of night.From a distance, it looks like a group of ghosts floating on the sea.

"That crazy quartermaster is right—it's really the messenger of the black water!" Someone among the soldiers started talking again, causing quite a commotion.

"Ziyin, what exactly are the messengers of the black water they are talking about?" Ning Yue was terrified and had to temporarily put aside the entanglement in her heart, and asked her companion instead.

"The so-called black water messenger is a story passed down by word of mouth among sailors who go to sea all the year round. It seems that it has gradually become popular in the past three to five years. It is said that whenever such a foggy weather occurs, a mysterious branch will appear in the Chanying Sea. The entire fleet of the fleet is pitch-black, and the people on board have ferocious faces like sea snakes, like evil spirits who specialize in devouring people's souls, taking those who are powerless to fight back as their prey."

The boy in white frowned, but he obviously didn't believe the legend he told.

"So, no one has actually seen these black water messengers?" the red-haired girl asked again.

"For tens of thousands of years, this boundless and vast sea has swallowed up countless lives. Most of the legends that arise out of fear are not true." Qi Ziyin couldn't help but glanced at the still distraught man not far away. Jiang Yan, "Even if someone can come back alive, the trauma caused by that horrible experience will not be healed."

"So you think the fleet on the other side—"

"Why do I feel that it doesn't matter anymore. The key issue now is that the soldiers on this ship believe it..."

The boy in white shook his head helplessly, and looked up at the chaotic deck behind him.The army was defeated like a mountain, and now it was useless to let Xie Xun give orders.One after another, the soldiers jumped over the sides of the ship and jumped into the sea, as if the stranded ship had indeed been cursed by some kind of curse, and became a more dangerous existence than the bottomless Chanying Sea.

In the blink of an eye, apart from the soldiers who were killed and injured in the previous confrontation, half of the crew on the building was cut down in an instant.But the eerie black fleet not far away did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, instead it quickly and silently hid in the dark night far away like a ghost.

But this did not make Qi Ziyin feel half relaxed.Just as he was about to count the number of people and rescue the soldiers who fell into the water and the wounded, he suddenly heard another exclamation from the people around him who were still in shock:
"In the sea, something floated up in the sea!"

He hurriedly turned around and ran to the side of the ship, lying on the side and looking down, he saw a tumbling wave in the ink-like sea water, but none of the soldiers who jumped into the water before could come out. Crossing the surface of the sea, it was swallowed up as if it had never fallen into the water.

Seeing this, the pale boy in white finally lost his last composure, and just stood helplessly on the deck.However, while he was in a daze, the building boat under his feet was suddenly pushed up from the reef by a force in the sea!In a short while, the whole ship was thrown back into the stormy sea, and after only a few impacts, it was completely turned into thousands of broken fragments, scattered and floating on the sea surface.

The soldiers of Ye Kingdom on the ship also couldn't stand steadily, and slid along the overturned deck into the ink-like sea water, wailing and calling for help.Ning Yue, who was always standing by Qi Ziyin's side, was also thrown away by this powerful force, and her red hair spread out in mid-air, like a withered flower from a branch.

"Ning Yue!"

The boy in white roared loudly, and Dang even wanted to jump into the sea to save people.However, in the chaos, he saw a figure rushing ahead of him, jumping up into the air like lightning, and plunged into the water with a plop!

It was Jiang Yan who jumped into the water to save people!Previously, he was almost tormented by the shattered memories surging out of the depths of his mind, and he was about to pass out. It was only when he heard Ning Yue's exclamation when he fell into the water that he tried to restrain his mind.

The place where the black-eyed boy jumped into the sea was only a few feet away from the place where the girl fell, but as far as he could see, there were human legs kicking underwater and splashes of water, and it was impossible to tell which was him. The companion to look for.

Jiang Yan turned back to the surface of the sea and took a deep breath, intending to continue diving deeper, but during this breath, he saw a faint blue light glowing from the dark water all over him for no reason.

This strange light seemed to come from the depths of the seabed. It was inconspicuous at first, but it became brighter and brighter.As the rays of light flourished, the originally thick black water gradually became transparent.Jiang Yan could clearly see the huge shadows formed by countless swimming fish, as well as the patrolling giant fin whales skipping under his feet, spitting out a string of white bubbles.

The boy's attention was quickly attracted by a group of small silver fish gathered on the seabed.And right now, surrounded by fish, is Ning Yue who fell into the water!The red-haired girl lay there motionless, as if she had lost her life.And the blue light in the water is the most dazzling here!
However, Jiang Yan failed to notice these abnormalities, and only felt that his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment, and then it began to hurt like a knife gouged out.He took another deep breath, and immediately turned around and dived towards the girl at the bottom.

At the same time, there was a muffled "hum" in the sea.The sediment deposited on the seabed was instantly stirred up by a force, gradually forming a huge vortex underwater.The young man clearly saw that Ning Yue and the school of fish around him were sucked in by the vortex, and disappeared without a trace.

He couldn't help but let out a loud cry, and all the breath that was desperately held in his chest was exhausted because of this.The vortex is getting bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, it has expanded to the eyes of the young man.In desperation, Jiang Yan pulled away and wanted to leave, but no matter how he moved his limbs, he was still trapped in the water, unable to move at all.

His chest seemed to be pressed down by a big rock, and his strength quickly dissipated from his hands, feet, and limbs.He was dragged to the bottom of the sea by the force that ordinary people couldn't resist in the vortex. After choking on a few sips of water, his vision became blurred.

At the last moment of losing consciousness, the black-eyed boy suddenly felt that he saw Ning Yue's familiar face again in the chaos in front of him.The other party's long red hair, and those blue-blue eyes that are so beautiful, but with a hint of sadness, are like a dream, seem to be within reach, but far away in the sky...
