Chapter 343: Black Sea Ghost Reef

"Evil door, evil door!"

Some soldiers muttered in a low voice, the black sea water, coupled with the cold wind, is really a little hairy.

Suddenly, the speed of the boat slowed down.

"We're at Ghost Reef ahead, keep sailing! Get off the boat when you get close to the shore. Who told you to slow down?" Bai Xiaowen said.

A few soldiers at the helm rushed over, sweating profusely and said, "My lord, it's bad, the boat... the boat can't move!"

"Can't you drive?" Bai Xiaowen repeated.

"Yeah, after entering the black water area, no matter how hard we tried, the speed of the boat kept dropping, and even when the rudder turned, it became a lot jerky. This feeling... It's like there is something under the boat The water ghost is dragging it, as if it is not allowed to move forward!" One of the soldiers said nervously.

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

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

Bai Xiaowen walked over. Li Shuyi picked up a long pole from the side, plunged into the black sea water, and stirred it vigorously.

This stirring immediately made Bai Xiaowen realize something was wrong. Entering the water with a long pole and stirring up the sea waves should be a very light action, even a child of a few years old can do it. However, when Li Shuyi was stirring the sea water, she felt a little bit of difficulty.

Li Shuyi lifted the end of the long pole, this simple movement, but it was like carrying a heavy weight. With Li Shuyi's strength, it's unbelievable that this happened.

Crash!

A large mess of seaweed, intertwined and intertwined, entangled with a long pole, was dragged out of the sea by Li Shuyi.

The seaweed that was dragged out was only the tip of the iceberg, most of it was still below the surface of the sea, and it was even possible that the seaweed in the entire sea area was tangled and growing like this, and it could affect the whole body. No wonder it is so difficult to drag seaweed with Li Shuyi's strength.

Li Shuyi drew back her long pole, and a soldier next to her pulled out a waist knife, and cut off a small section of seaweed with all her strength, preparing to give it to Bai Xiaowen.

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

"Bewitching words to confuse the crowd!"

Bai Xiaowen snorted,

Squat down to observe the small piece of seaweed, then reach out to touch it.

From the appearance and touch, this seaweed is indeed very similar to a woman's hair, both are black and slender, and it feels soft and tough to the touch.

A ray of flame shot out from Bai Xiaowen's fingertips, burning the seaweed into ashes.

"I understand that 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 to the shallow sea of ​​Ghost Reef, the more lush the seaweed, so we can't continue to sail forward, otherwise the bottom of the boat will be entangled with seaweed and the paddle wheels will be blocked, we will only be trapped here , there is no way to go back."

"Then what should we do now?" Li Shuyi asked.

"Let's get off the boat. The boat has a shallow draft, and the resistance of the seaweed won't be so strong. Let's paddle slowly."

Bai Xiaowen thought to himself, Zhang Ting's group of soldiers probably were not stopped by seaweed because they were in a small boat.

The two boats carried a small number of small boats, and Zhang Ting and others took away two small boats. The remaining three small boats could only carry a dozen people.

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

The reason why he didn't bring more people was because Bai Xiaowen considered saving people. Zhang Ting and the others have not returned for a long time, and they must have encountered danger. This trip not only needs to collect medicine, but also brings Zhang Ting and others back. In case the two small boats they were traveling in sank, there would still be space in the three small boats for passengers.

Moreover, bringing a few fewer soldiers will not have much impact on the task of picking wormwood.

The three small boats slowly approached the ghost reef.

As Bai Xiaowen speculated, the closer to the ghost reef, the more lush the black hair-shaped seaweed. The sun has turned pale white, and the light shining down does not make people feel warm, but rather cold.

The atmosphere is very depressing, only the sound of long oars paddling the water can be heard.

"Someone! There is someone here!" Suddenly, a soldier shouted excitedly.

It was on the shore of Ghost Reef, a soldier in Ming uniform, lying on his back, unconscious. Bai Xiaowen suddenly recognized that this person was one of Yu Dayou's soldiers who followed Zhang Ting to gather medicine.

Three small boats landed, and two soldiers rushed over, slapping and beating, trying to wake up the comrade.

Bai Xiaowen quietly lost an insight. Behind the soldier's nameplate, he can see a bad state called "drowning coma".

The simple first aid knowledge learned in class came in handy. Bai Xiaowen commanded two soldiers to clean up the mud and seaweed between the mouth and nose of the drowning person, and then hung upside down to drain the accumulated water in the chest and abdomen. After a lot of tossing, the drowning soldiers finally It's waking up.

From the mouth of the drowning soldiers, Bai Xiaowen learned the route of Zhang Ting and others. Regarding the information on Ghost Reef, the drowning soldier was also incomplete.

Bai Xiaowen took the drowning bodyguards with him and followed the route of Zhang Ting and his party with him as a guide. Along the way, he found several fallen bodyguards. However, two of the soldiers were already dead, and their throats had black and blue fingerprints.

"They strangled themselves."

Bai Xiaowen made a judgment based on the posture and angle of the fingerprints of the dead soldiers.

The few soldiers who survived by chance still have lingering fears when they talk about the situation of Ghost Reef.

"My lord, I only saw two kinds of monsters when I was waiting on the ghost reef. One of them is a zombie, with infinite strength and skin like gold and iron, which is quite difficult to kill. Zombies are nothing, we follow the martial arts learned by the general. , after all, it can be cooked. It’s just another kind of monster, we really can’t do anything about it, it’s a ghost!”

"These ghosts are as transparent. Our knives cut through them, just like cutting through the air, it has no effect at all..."

Bai Xiaowen said: "If there are no physical ghosts, you can't hurt them, and they shouldn't be able to hurt you either."

"No, these ghosts can only do one trick, which is to pounce on the living person! After I was pounced on by the ghost, I immediately felt a splitting headache, and my eyes were full of phantoms..."

Bai Xiaowen nodded, roughly understanding the danger of Guijiao.

This place is very unfriendly to the chopper team. Zombies with extremely high armor, as well as nihilized ghosts, are very restrained by the physical output type of Awakened.

It is very unfortunate that both Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi happen to be on this list.

Needless to say, Li Shuyi is a typical kitchen knife DPS. Although Bai Xiaowen is a mentally skilled type, he is a summoner, and most of the summoned creatures are physical attacks...

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