Chapter 634 Arriving at the Demonic Waters
Thunder light sounded outside the window again, illuminating the cabin of the huge cruise ship.
The black mass of long-haired monsters screamed and wailed wildly, struggling in severe pain and trying to escape. In the end, they were trapped in the strong web woven by their own hair. They could only stretch their arms to get out of each hole and turned into a ball of ashes.
The corridor became completely quiet, and the calm outside returned. Only then did everyone in the cabin cheer.
"It's done! We are saved!"
"That's great, wow, I thought I was going to hang here today."
……
Everyone hugged each other and cried for a while before they wanted to go out, but they were afraid of damaging the ink lines on the ground and did not dare to move.
Now they respect Ye Lan like a god, and her words are imperial edicts.
The three people in the aisle outside were also very tired.
Although the plan was thorough, these long-haired monsters were eliminated as expected in the end, but in the end they were super-mutated water monsters. It was simple to say, but in actual practice, it consumed extraordinary internal energy.
In particular, Xiao Yunting used Heavenly Thunder twice, plus once in the cabin, and was almost exhausted.
Ye Lan took a breath, walked up to him and stretched out her hand.
Xiao Yunting took a look, held her slender palm through the white gloves and stood up. Although the muscles and veins in his body were experiencing severe pain at the moment, except for the slightly disordered breath, there was no other clue.
"Senior sister, I found this among the ashes." Wu Heng came over and handed over a small piece of black stuff in his hand, and at the same time separated the distance between the two of them.
Ye Lan let go of his hand, pinched a bit of unburned black ash with his fingertips, rubbed it with his skin, and suddenly frowned.
"It's human skin."
"Well." Wu Heng, as a disciple of the Medical Immortal, is naturally no stranger to human skin. He just brought it to Ye Lan to see after this happened unintentionally. Now he is looking at the ashes on the ground with a complicated expression. "What do you mean by this? Aren’t they all human?”
If so, then they were not killing the same kind of people.
Although Wu Heng had also killed people, such large-scale killings still left him feeling frightened.
Ye Lan sniffed the skin, but shook his head and said: "These people who should be buried in the shipwreck, the water monster just puts on their skins and moves."
The skin had a strong rancid and earthy smell, not like someone who had just died.
Wu Heng's expression softened after hearing this, and then he entered the cabin to inform everyone that the crisis was over.
Everyone stepped out of the ink line and let out a long sigh of relief. They were no longer in the mood to have fun and just wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
So Liu Zhixiong asked the old captain to return to the voyage immediately.
But after the sailors tried to operate it, they still couldn't start the cruise ship.
"Although these hairy monsters are gone, there should still be a lot of hair stuck in the propeller and entangled in the machine."
Liu Zhixiong became anxious when he heard this.
"Then why don't you hurry up and get someone to clean it up."
He didn't want to be here for a second now.
"But..." The old captain shrank his neck, no longer as calm as he had been before. He even hid behind Ye Lan and said weakly: "We are afraid too."
After all, we just saw so many hairy monsters coming ashore from the water, and now it is night, who dares to go into the water to clean the propeller.
"Why don't you wait until tomorrow, Boss Liu?" The old captain was debating.
Liu Zhixiong disagreed, and other wealthy businessmen also opposed it.
"We'll add money, no matter how much we need. You can launch the boat immediately and repair it, and let us go back."
Seeing that they were wealthy and throwing money at people, Ye Lan looked cold and speechless.
Qu Yueqing, on the other hand, came out and stood on the captain's side with her beautiful eyebrows locked.
"If there are things underwater and something happens to them in the water, how many families will be broken, can you afford to pay for it?"
Of course I can afford it.
Ten to twenty million is enough for an ordinary family to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.
It’s not like wealthy businessmen have never dealt with labor disputes before, and they don’t take it seriously. Many of their relatives even shed tears of gratitude to them after receiving compensation.
"Miss Qu, I don't think Mr. Xiao has any objections. Why don't you go aside and have a rest." Liu Zhixiong said with a sly smile, but his words were clearly nodding to her. In this situation, the man didn't say anything, and she, as a Vase better shut up.
"You..." Qu Yueqing was furious. Just as he was about to emphasize that he was not a flower vase, he heard someone from a group of sailors nearby squeaking.
"Five million, I will go down. If I don't come up, it will be increased to ten million." A short and fat sailor came out.
Liu Zhixiong nodded and agreed without thinking: "Okay, I will write the check now and the captain will keep it for witness."
As he said that, he took out the check and started writing a string of 0's quickly.
Qu Yueqing was stunned. She turned to stare at the sailor and asked, "Do you really want to risk your life for their money, which is not even a fraction of the money?"
She doesn't understand.
The sailor looked at her meticulous and exquisite hairstyle and the luxurious accessories around her, but he laughed out loud, showing no appreciation at all.
"You come from a wealthy family, and even a bottle of water costs thousands of dollars for imported goods. Of course you don't understand that the so-called fraction you say can help me support my family. My parents are blind, and my wife is at home with four children. My salary I can't afford them at all. If I could, I would be willing to drink my blood, let alone get into the water."
Those words directly made Qu Yueqing's face turn red.
She looked at Xiao Yunting and Ye Lan helplessly, and found that their expressions were exactly the same indifferent, as if they had expected this result.
She was the only one who became a clown.
As the saying goes, money can make all the difference. After receiving the check, the old captain just sighed and went to get the sailor's diving tools.
It was completely dark outside at this time, and the sea was so dark that even the lighthouse in the distance could not be seen.
After a while, the old shipyard suddenly ran back in a hurry, holding nothing in his hand, and said with a pale face: "We have reached the magic waters."
Demonic waters.
It was the destination of their trip, and it was also the area where the dockworker's shipwreck occurred.
"How could this happen? Didn't you say before that it was still far away from that place?!" Liu Zhixiong asked with his eyes widened, obviously not believing it yet.
The old captain looked sad and took out the compass he carried with him. "I don't know what happened, but other boatmen said that the magic waters are covered in fog and the lighthouse cannot be seen, and the compass will malfunction. Now it has completely come true."
Everyone looked over and saw the wildly rotating compass, and their emotions suddenly collapsed.
In the middle of the night, they had just experienced the long-haired monster, and now they had entered the waters of the Laoshizi Demon. They almost wanted to die.
At this moment, both of them wanted to go back in time and slap themselves in the face for insisting on following them during the day.
Hearing this, Ye Lan walked to the cabin door and stretched out his hand to feel the particularly humid sea breeze.
Behind him, someone calmed down the atmosphere and comforted everyone.
"The situation may not be as bad as everyone thinks. People from our association came here last time, but they just lost their way here. If they don't fish or do other operations, they should be fine."
"I think the cabin door should be closed tonight and everyone should get some sleep. Mr. Liu's secretary will definitely send someone to take care of him when it gets dark."
The speaker was the vice president of the Taoist Association.
The disciples of the association last time were discovered on the periphery by the second boat sent by Liu Zhixiong. They said that they had been circling in one place, and they fired a fishhook to pull them back.
