Chapter 344

"Evil door, evil door!"

Some soldiers whispered that the blackened sea water, coupled with the cold wind, really made people feel uneasy.

Suddenly, the ship slowed down.

"The ghost reef is ahead. Keep sailing! Get off the boat when you get close to the shore. Who told you to slow down?" Bai Xiaowen said.

Several soldiers at the helm rushed over, sweating and said, "real man, no, the ship... The ship can't move!"

"Can't drive?" Bai Xiaowen repeated.

"Yes, after entering the Black Sea area, no matter how hard we try, the ship's speed keeps falling. Even when the rudder turns, it becomes a lot more astringent. This feeling... It's like a water ghost dragging under the ship and not allowing us to move forward!" one of the soldiers said nervously.

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "water ghosts? Even if there are water ghosts and we are not allowed to go to the ghost reef, it also proves that ghosts are afraid of people. How can anyone be afraid of ghosts!"

Li Shuyi, who had been observing the sea, waved: "Xiaowen, it's not about the soldiers, it's about the sea."

Bai Xiaowen walked over. Li Shuyi picked up a long pole from one side, dipped into the Black Sea and stirred it.

This agitation immediately made Bai Xiaowen find something wrong. It should be a very light action to put a long rod into the water and stir the sea waves. Children of several years old can do it. However, when Li Shuyi stirred the sea, she felt a little hard.

Li Shuyi lifted the end of the long pole. This simple action was like carrying a heavy object. With the strength of Li Shuyi, this situation is really incredible.

WOW!

A large tangled seaweed, intertwined with long poles, was pulled out of the sea by Li Shuyi.

This mass of seaweed is only the tip of the iceberg, and most of it is still under the sea. It is even possible that the seaweed in the whole sea area is growing in this way. No wonder it is so difficult to drag seaweed with the strength of Li Shuyi.

Li Shuyi pulled back the long pole. Next to her, a soldier pulled out a waist knife and cut off a small piece of seaweed, ready to take it to Bai Xiaowen.

The soldier just touched the seaweed, suddenly his face changed and threw the seaweed on the deck together with his waist knife: "this is not seaweed, this... This is a woman's hair!"

"Bewitch the public!"

Bai Xiaowen snorted, squatted down to observe the small section of seaweed, and then stretched out his hand to touch it.

In terms of appearance and touch, this seaweed is indeed very similar to women's hair. They are black and slender. It feels soft and tough.

Bai Xiaowen emitted a flame from his fingertips and burned the seaweed to ashes.

"I see. The reason why this sea area looks black is because it is covered with this kind of seaweed."

Bai Xiaowen stood up and said, "the closer it is to the shallow sea of ghost reef, the more lush the seaweed is, so we can't continue to sail forward. Otherwise, if the bottom of the ship is entangled with seaweed and the paddle wheel is blocked, we can only be trapped here and can't go back."

"What should I do now?" Li Shuyi asked.

"Get off the boat. The boat has a shallow draft and the resistance of seaweed will not be so strong. Let's row over slowly."

Bai Xiaowen thought to himself that Zhang Ting's personal soldiers were probably not stopped by seaweed because they took a small boat.

Two boats, carrying a small number of boats, were taken away by Zhang Ting and others. The remaining three boats can only carry more than a dozen people.

Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment and brought only four soldiers, including him and Li Shuyi, a total of six. Every two people take a small boat and paddle forward.

The reason why he didn't bring more people was that Bai Xiaowen wanted to save people. Zhang Ting and others have not returned yet. They must be in danger. This trip is not only to collect medicine, but also to bring Zhang Ting and others back. In case Zhang Ting and his two boats sank, the empty seats on these three boats can still carry passengers.

Moreover, taking fewer soldiers will not have much impact on the task of picking ghost Artemisia.

Three boats slowly approached the ghost reef.

If, as Bai Xiaowen speculated, it is also close to the ghost reef, the more lush the black hair shaped seaweed is. The sun has turned pale. When the light shines down, it will not make people feel warm, but a little cold.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that only the sound of long oars was heard.

"Someone! Someone here!" suddenly, a soldier shouted excitedly.

It was the shore of ghost reef. A soldier in Ming army uniform lay on his back, unconscious. Bai Xiaowen recognized him as one of Yu Dayou's soldiers who followed Zhang Ting to collect medicine.

When three small boats landed, two soldiers rushed over, patted and beat, trying to wake up the fellow robe.

Bai Xiaowen quietly lost an insight. After the soldier's name board, he could see a bad state called "drowning coma".

The simple first aid knowledge learned in the classroom came in handy. Bai Xiaowen commanded two soldiers to clean up the sludge and seaweed between the mouth and nose of the drowning person, and then hung upside down to drain the accumulated water on the chest and abdomen. After some tossing, the drowning soldiers finally woke up.

From the mouth of the drowning soldier, Bai Xiaowen learned the route of Zhang Ting and others. The drowning soldier also said that the information on the ghost reef was incomplete.

Bai Xiaowen took the drowning soldier and took him as a guide to advance along the route of Zhang Ting and his party. Along the way, he found several soldiers who couldn't stand up. However, two of them have died, and their throats have blue and black fingerprints.

"They strangled themselves."

Bai Xiaowen made a judgment from the posture and angle of the fingerprint of the dead soldier.

Several soldiers who survived by chance still have lingering fears about the ghost reef.

"Immortal, we only saw two kinds of monsters on the ghost reef. One of them is a zombie, with infinite power and skin like gold and iron, which is quite difficult to kill. It doesn't matter if the zombie is dead. We can take care of the martial arts we learn from the master after all. It's just another monster. We really have nothing to do. It's a ghost!"

"These ghosts are like transparent. When we cut them, it's like splitting the air. It doesn't work at all..."

Bai Xiaowen said, "if there are no physical ghosts, you can't hurt them, they shouldn't hurt you either."

"No, these ghosts can only do one move, that is, jump on the living people! After I was jumped on by the ghost, I immediately felt a splitting headache, and my eyes were full of virtual illusions..."

Bai Xiaowen nodded and roughly understood the danger of ghost reef.

It's very unfriendly to the kitchen knife team here. Zombies with extremely high armor and nihilistic ghosts are very restrained from awakening people of physical output type.

Unfortunately, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi happen to be here.

Li Shuyi needless to say, a typical kitchen knife flow DPS. Although Bai Xiaowen is a spiritual specialty, he is a summoner. Most summoned creatures are physical attacks

"I also have a creature of magic output type..." Bai Xiaowen thought of skeleton mage. "It's time to strengthen skeleton mage."
