Mysteries of the Earthsea

Just when the two were talking with each other, suddenly he felt something in the bandage, and he turned his head and looked to the left.

On the dark sea, a group of semi-elliptical black shadows that were a circle larger than the Narwhal was floating towards this side.

Just when the bandage was about to turn the rudder to control the Narwhal away, Charles' hand pressed the rudder to stop the steering wheel.

"Wait, it's not a dirty thing in the sea, I've seen that thing, it's a Heike boat."

A minute later, Charles stood on the deck, frowning and watching, floating to the tortoise-shell boat next to the Narwhal.

The ship seemed to have been under some unknown attack, and the hard shell was full of cracks, making it very embarrassed.

"This...maybe...it's...a dead ship..." the bandage said slowly.

Dead ships at sea are generally referred to as dead ghost ships, but in order to distinguish them from the real ghost ships, these types of ships are called dead ships.

Charles looked at the ship in front of him, frowning slightly, usually in the dark sea. It is very dangerous to approach a dead ship rashly.

But before the Hikes could save him, the Narwhal would also become a dead ship.

Since these indifferent giants helped themselves, now that they are killed, it's hard to justify running away.

"Audrick, fly over and take a look." The bats rose into the sky and quickly circled the turtle shell ship a few times. He returned soon.

"Captain, sound waves can't penetrate the turtle shell, there is no movement, it looks like there is no one."

"Is it really a dead ship?" After thinking for a moment, Charles returned to the cockpit and sounded the siren.

"Woo~Woo~" The Narwhal's deep whistle echoed in the dark ocean.

Sounding the siren in the unexplored sea is a very risky thing, because I don't know what underwater will be attracted by the sound.

Looking at the turtle shell still drifting with the flow, Charles waved his hand to signal to set off.

He has done his best to do this. It would be too much to send his crew there to find out if there are any living people.

"Da" Just when the Narwhal was about to set sail again, a square tortoise shell suddenly opened on the left side of the turtle shell ship, and it was as dry as a zombie's arm that stretched out from it.

"Water..." The keen Charles heard the extremely weak voice.

Several iron hip flasks with fresh water were picked up by bats and thrown into the past.

"Guckling~gurgling~" Several meters away, Charles could also hear the extremely hungry sound of drinking water. Hearing the sound, there was no one in this turtle-shell boat.

Under the bright searchlight, a haggard like a zombie Giant of the Hike clan peeked out of the tortoise shell.

He opened his chapped and bleeding lips and continued to shout quickly. "Water, give me water."

This time, Audrick hung over a large bucket, and the sound of violently sucking fresh water came from the turtle shell.

"Captain...there is a strong smell of corpses in it, so many people should have died." Audrick said with fangs at the corner of his mouth, leaning against Charles' ear and said softly.

"It's impossible for them to be thirsty like that ghost." Charles continued to look at the turtle boat in front of him.

Soon the haggard giant crawled out again, and he again asked for fresh water.

When the bandage ordered the sailor to prepare fresh water again, he was stopped by Charles. "How many people are on your boat?"

He really wants to help, but helping doesn't mean he doesn't consider his actual situation. Fresh water is also needed on the Narwhal, and he must give priority to his crew.

"Five, no, six. The others are dead. We have been lost in Heze for a long time."

Quickly estimate the amount of fresh water used and the remaining travel days in mind, Charles asked them: "How much fresh water do you need every day?"

"At the limit, we only need three liters."

"Very well, then I will give you 20 liters of fresh water every day, the fresh water on the boat is enough to keep us back to Broken Heart Island."

There was a hint of joy on the face of the Heike guy. "Thank you Captain. We will report your selfless dedication to the King of Broken Heart Island, and he will definitely repay you!!"

It doesn't matter whether Charles is rewarded or not. If someone saves him once, then he can save others once.

"Can your boat move? If it can't, throw the rope over and I will take you away."

Soon, in the dark sea, a funny scene appeared, a streamlined steamship pulled a big tortoise shell.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Charles specially turned Audrick into a bat, hung upside down in the stern of the boat and stared at him.

Although he planned to save these people, he didn't think that these people must be good people. Maybe these guys are pirates of the Heike tribe.

In the first few hours, the two ships were in peace, but when the meal time came, the opposite party made a strange request.

"Captain Charles, do you have any excess salt on your boat? I need some."

"You lack food on the boat?" Charles asked the giant named Aguino.

"We don't lack food, we only need sea salt, and we can buy it with you with gold coins."

Just a little bit of salt, Charles didn't care at all, and asked Audrick to send a bag over ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the next few days, the two ships were fine, and nothing unusual happened.

But on the fifth day, Charles would always hear a hoarse and weird sound in his sleep, the kind of sound that even trembles with a "chuckling", it sounds obviously not human.

Charles originally thought that his auditory hallucinations had begun again, but soon he discovered that the other crew members had the same problem, and his attention was immediately directed to the turtle shell ship.

Charles didn't cover up, and asked them directly.

"Captain Charles, don't worry, that kind of voice will never be heard again, and the previous voice will not have any effect on you."

Facing this reply, Charles didn't say anything, he took a deep look at the giant opposite, turned and left.

Seeing Charles on the opposite side leaving, Aguino breathed a sigh of relief. He retracted into the turtle shell and crawled quickly between the honeycomb-like lattices.

Not long after he left, the rope connecting the two ships sank slightly for no reason.

In the end, Aguino crawled down in front of the darkest corner. In a very respectful tone, he said to the darkness: "Honorable divine envoy, the humans in front, have perceived your voice in the dream, please be quiet."

"Chuckchuck" followed the trembling sound, and a monster with evil reflective skin crawled out of the darkness. Horn-shaped suckers...lizard-like body, with limbs bent stiffly at the elbows against the ground.

Agino seemed to understand the meaning of the gurgling sound, and retired respectfully.

Soon, he walked back holding a half-decayed Heike corpse.

Agino quickly wiped the whole body of the corpse with the salt he brought from the Narwhal, and sent it to the deformed monster.
