The sailors on the deck cheered. Someone shouted in surprise, "Bell! It was the sound of a bell! This means that they are not far from land! " The feeling of landing on land and finding his feet on the ground seemed to have eliminated all the worries about his life.

An experienced old sailor said: "Why does the sound of the bell sound so oppressive?"

Someone replied, "The sea is filled with cold fog, so naturally, the sound is heavy."

The old sailor shook his head. "It doesn't sound like it was caused by the fog." "Why do I feel that this bell is coming from beneath our ship?"

How could the bell have come from beneath the ship when the water was below? This hypothesis sounded outrageous, but it sent chills down everyone's spines. For a moment, the deck was silent again. Only the dull and long sound of the bell could be heard for a long time. When the bell stopped ringing, that was the beginning of the nightmare.

We listened to the sound of the bell as if it were a lullaby, and when the last chime was over we fell into a deep, enchanted sleep, wondering how many horrible humanoid monsters in black robes and with green seaweed tangled in their long hair had climbed onto the ship, their strength enormous, their movements strange and agile. Like the most ferocious beasts, they waved their sharp fingernails and claws, hunting the sailors that were running on the ship. They were dragged into the water one by one, leaving wide trails of blood on the deck.

I didn't know that when it came to Homer. When the gun tried to kill the monsters, Lily gently held down her arm to stop it. Lily looked at him and shook her head. So he closed his eyes and let the sailors scream and cry for help and remain indifferent. When the thick smell of blood entered his nose, his eyebrows twitched slightly. The movement revealed the suffering and trembling in his heart.

We didn't know that a monster had stopped when it entered our house, dragging the corpse of a sailor behind it. It had looked at us with great interest, and the pungent smell it gave off was enough to make one want to vomit. But he didn't even touch us with a finger.

At the end of the massacre. On the huge ship, only the six of us remained: Li Shuai, Chang Bai, Wei Wu,, Baihe, and Homer.

"Mm …" Eh? Why is the ship so quiet? " Li Shuai slowly woke up from his slumber and asked. Finally, he felt something strange. In the past, they should be preparing to set sail at this time of the year. The ship should be bustling with activity. At the moment, it was strangely quiet. There was no sound of sailors working, but there was a fishy smell in the air.

I also felt that something was wrong, so I looked at the round window and said, "It's just dawn, so we can still catch up to the sunrise."

After a short while, we arrived at the deck. There were bloodstains all over the floor, and Homer and Lily were standing silently at the bow of the ship.

Following their line of sight, I immediately exclaimed, "What is that?" A huge island was right in front of them!

About two hundred meters away from the ship's bow was an island covered with a dark black reef. Last night before they docked, this place was clearly an empty sea. There was absolutely no land within several miles of the sea surface!

Looking at the island, there was not a single plant or sign of life. The reefs along the shore of the island were ferocious and the island's topography was also quite treacherous. Extremely shocked, I stagger to my feet. "Island? Where did it come from? "It was clearly not here yesterday!" "By the way, did you sail last night?"

Homer shook his head. "No, the boat didn't move an inch. It was first light this morning that the island was discovered. "

"Then... That was … That's right! Was last night's ringing sound coming from this island? " I asked.

Before Homer could answer, Lily said, "Yes. But when the clock struck, the island was still at the bottom of the water. "

"Ugh!" This time, it wasn't just me who was stunned. The others also revealed looks of disbelief.

Lily ignored our shock and didn't explain any further. She simply said, "This is the Fog Abyss that you are looking for. It only comes out on a given day. "The surface of the water, and will sink under the water at sunset."

Homer's face changed slightly. "Then aren't we..."

"You only have one day." "Lily said." "Don't delay any longer. Go." As he spoke, he took a small step back.

This retreat meant that she would not go to the island together with him. I asked, "Lily, aren't you coming with us?" Lily looked at me and shook her head slightly.

The few of us didn't say anything more. Homer Wells picked up a few pieces of wood and threw them with all his might. The planks were scattered across the sea between the island and the hull. Homer Wells flew out, put his toe on the floating board, and leaned gently on it. After a few leaps, they had already landed on the reef beside the island.

Before I could jump, I remembered something. "By the way, where are the sailors?"

"..." Don't ask. " Lily replied very calmly.

A bad premonition arose in my heart. The instant I left the boat, I caught a glimpse of the dark red streaks on the deck. I immediately understood the source of the thick fishy smell that had been lingering around my nose. His heart sank to the bottom, and the joy of finding the Fog Abyss instantly vanished into thin air.

The dozens of sailors on the ship, most of them half-grown, all of them angry, walked all the way here. After so many days, I recognized most of them by their faces and could call out a lot of their names. Just like that, these living beings became sacrifices that they stepped on, becoming the ghosts of the wrongdoers in this strange sea.

I straightened up, straightened my clothes, jumped onto a higher rock, and looked out. The island was surprisingly large. As they watched from the boat, they could see only the tip of the island, so far as they could see, and there was no way to estimate how much of it was hidden by the higher rocks. The island was still shrouded in a faint mist, and with every breath he took, he would bring the volcanic ash into his stomach. There should be a volcano erupting at the bottom of the island, so when it erupts, it will be the day it floats up. When the heat recedes, it will return to the bottom of the sea. Yesterday the sailors said that there were people in the water, so the people on this island must be able to live in the water. If he knew earlier, he would have brought Kuang Lun here.

At first glance, the rugged reef seemed to be baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in a disorderly fashion. Upon closer observation, a narrow passageway was hidden between the reefs. It was twisted in a complicated manner like a maze. After looking at it for a long time, an unfamiliar map appeared in his mind. It vaguely coincided with the stone path. By comparing with the treasure map, they were able to deduce their current location. And the red flower symbol in the middle of the map was almost in the middle of the map, so it should be located at the center of the island.

I jumped off the reef and pointed in a direction. "This way!" I didn't look back at their expressions. I didn't know what was going on, how to explain it to them. He decided to keep silent and walk in front without looking back.
