Before they left, the islanders had a celebratory feast of octopus for them to carry out. When Yao Ling saw that the group of women were setting up a big pot and preparing to cut up the chunks of herring, he actually shook off Ashley's support and walked quickly to the chopping board, carefully searching for something in the pile of minced meat.

"Third brother!" What are you doing! "Third brother!" Ashley came up to him and asked in concern.

Yao Yun didn't bother replying to her question. Frowning, he lowered his head and looked at each and every piece of the meat until he had almost searched through them all. Finally, he picked out a thick, tubular object from within.

He happily said to Ashley, "This is good stuff. I'll give it to you after I finish processing it. You can blow it when you want to see a whale when you go out to sea. Maybe there'll be a surprise."

Ashley was puzzled and asked him, "What is this? Disgusting. Is it an octopus intestines?"

She suddenly thought of how this octopus had once eaten the Great Sage. In theory, there might still be a Great Sage in its body that hadn't digested everything yet. She didn't want lunch anymore.

Yao said, "This is the body tube of an octopus. Since it is a bit like a funnel, it is also called a funnel tube. It is used to spray water outwards, propelling the body to move, and even to attack prey." After drying it in the air, it would become a small trumpet. If you blew on it in the sea, you could attract some whales to approach it. However, this thing was too small, and only the funnel on the body of the giant seal could be used as a trumpet. "As for the principle behind this, I'm not too sure, this was something I saw on the ancient books in the besieging camp, and I thought it would be useless, but who would have thought that I would catch this guy here? I heard you say that you like watching whales on the sea, so I just happened to give this to you."

Ashley heaved a sigh of relief. She saw that Yao Ling had no intentions of blaming herself for her injuries, but instead seemed to still have some feelings for her, just like in the past. She was very happy, smiling as she took his arm and helped him walk to the side to rest.

Jensa and Wei Wuji were directing their men and crew to move the luggage, supplies, and fresh water to the Indra. Chen had accompanied Mae to the wizard's thatched cottage for the last time.

The blind old woman scolded Mae for not being a guide, but she took out a talisman and handed it to her chief. On the base was a structure similar to a compass, but it was replaced by two miniature sculptures. On one side was a fairy riding a cow, and on the other was an old woman pulling a donkey, but no one knew the meaning behind it.

After lunch, the Indra left the island and headed southwest, following Mae's orders.

Ashley felt that it was very unreliable for a blind person to lead the way without using any navigational equipment or tools. However, Chen had sufficient trust in Mayer, and the rest of the people didn't oppose this decision.

"Where is he taking us?" Ashley could not suppress his suspicions.

"Mae said that Ranga is not an immutable city. It is moving in his mind, so we can't say where it will go. We can only change the route according to his imagination at any time," Chen said to her while looking at the map.

Ashley simply could not believe the answer she had heard, especially when she saw Chen Changsheng calmly say it out loud. She felt that these people were crazy to actually believe these words!

"So if the city keeps moving, do we always have to chase after it? We're going to spend the rest of our lives on this ship? "

"Don't worry, no one will risk their life just to deceive us into playing around in circles in the sea. Since we have already invested so much, we should trust him. Moreover, we don't have any other choice, so we'll just leave it to fate."

He took out the trumpet-shaped whistle made from octopus's body pipe from his pocket and handed it to Ashley. "This octopus whistle is ready. Take a look and blow it. It won't make a sound."

Ashley felt that he had also lost his composure. In order to ease up the atmosphere, he put the octopus whistle into his mouth and blew on it. Surprisingly, no skill was needed to blow on this thing. However, the sound it produced was very oppressive and gave off a feeling of suffocation.

"Aiyo, big sister, stop it quickly. What is this? This is so f * cking unpleasant. " Chen Changsheng held onto his chest and pretended to look like an old Mai Long Zhong in order to coax Ashley to be happy.

Yao Ling smiled and said, "It's nice to listen to, but what's nice about it can be transmitted to the sea? Can you attract a whale? "Really."

It was only then that Ashley remembered. Yao Yun had said that this whistle could attract whales, so she stood behind the railing expectantly while carefully looking around, but to no avail. Seeing Ashley's disappointment, Yao told her that if she thought about it every day, she would play it for a while. Sooner or later, she would succeed.

Every day Mae had to adjust the course of the Indra, and sometimes she took out her amulet to do some divination. If the divination turned out to be a woman riding a cow, then it would be safe, and on the donkey side, Mae would remind everyone to be careful and even temporarily change their direction and course.

Chen Susheng was very interested in this talisman, so he asked him how to use it. Mae told him that the statue on top of the talisman was of two gods, and the one riding the bull was Creation God Vishnu's wife, Da Xiang Tian, also known as Luo Qi Shi Mi. She represented luck, luck and wealth. Her counterpart was her older sister, the Evil God Arroyo Mi, also known as the "bad luck," bringing bad luck. So divination was actually very simple. The mind would think of the place and the route you were going to take, then turn the needle on the statue to see which heavenly woman would end up stopping, and you would know whether it was due to Gi or not.

Due to the frequent changing of routes, the materials stored on the ship were definitely insufficient. As a result, when they passed some ports, they would go ashore to replenish their supplies, and also change the boring life on the sea.

In the meantime, the Indra had turned back west toward the Arabian Sea, but had eventually returned to her former course and continued south. Ashley had repressed his anger countless times, but finally there had been a row when Captain Tannenbaum told everyone that fresh water was running out and they needed to replenish it as soon as possible.

However, this was of no use. Mae had spent the rest of her time in silence, providing the changes in the route. Ashley's anger was like a fist that had been fired out of thin air; after all, she was probably the one who most wanted to find Rangar City. Chen Chou Sheng was only trying to repay Yao Ling's kindness, and Yao Ling was trying to help out for the sake of the commission and the little bit of goodwill he could possibly have towards him. To these people, there was nothing to criticize.

After Chen had calmed down a little, he looked at the map and said to the others, "Ah, we are still quite lucky. This route is actually a very ancient sea route.

Mae's personality had changed a lot since she became blind, and when he heard that Chen had said he was going to stop at Ballarva, he trembled as he fumbled for his amulet and rotated the needle to make his divination.

He had demonstrated this trick who knows how many times, but everyone had already lost interest. Besides, this thing didn't seem to be very effective. For example, once, the result was obviously good, but they encountered extremely bad weather and were almost in danger. Another time, he met a pirate. Thanks to Chen Xiaohua revealing her spear technique, she managed to deter the adventurers. After so many foretelling sessions, which ended badly, nothing happened, so everyone saw the amulet as Mae's mental placebo.

After the needle stopped, Ashley and the others curiously looked at the results. This was the result of an unlucky person leading her donkey to the center of the room. Mae expressed the hope that they would be able to avoid Ballard and move on to another place to replenish their resources.

However, if they were not resting in Barrera, they would not be able to find a port to dock in less than a week, and everyone on the ship would have to go through a period of not being able to take a bath and distribute water quantitatively. So after studying with everyone, they rejected Mae's suggestion and the Indra docked to rest according to the plan.

There were all kinds of people on the island, and it could be said to be a mix of different types of people. However, Yao Ling and Chen Sha and the others naturally didn't care about these things, as soon as they landed on the shore, they left the island to go shopping and also took a stroll in the small city.

Ashley was clearly in a much better mood when he landed. When she came out after a meal with the others, she found herself in a fruit stall. The seller, a small man who looked shrewd and friendly, told Ashley to pick up the fruit himself and settle the bill together while he sat confidently in the back of the wheelbarrow chatting with the spice man next door.

Just as Ashley was picking up a pineapple, a black-and-white spider-like insect suddenly jumped onto her arm. Ashley felt an excruciating pain, and with a "Ouch!", she flung her arm hard, tossing the spider to the ground.

Yao Ling was looking around for any stores or vendors that sold cigarettes. The tobacco he carried had already been used up. Although she didn't know whether the cigarettes here were good or not, some cigarettes were still better than none.

He heard Ashley's shout and looked back to see that the white skin on her right arm was swollen and red. He hurried over to ask her how she had done it. When he went back to look at the spider on the ground, he had no idea where it had crawled off to.

Being bitten by bugs was a common occurrence, so no one took it to heart. Yao Yun simply took out some ointment and applied it to her, then pulled Fourth Bro along to buy cigarettes.

Ashley looked at the swelling on her arm. Other than being a little scary, she didn't feel any pain or itchiness, so she continued to pick the fruits she liked and settled the bill with her boss.

But when they returned to the ship, something strange happened.
