I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1998 Fried Fish
Before everyone could recover from the shocking scene, a more shocking wave suddenly rose on the sea. Dozens of strange fish that were exactly the same as before, like ghosts leaping out of the deep sea, flew out of the waves with a frightening breath, aiming directly at Liu Jun. The bodies of these strange fish flashed with a strange luster, and looked particularly hideous in the sun.

"It's not over yet!" Liu Jun frowned, with a flash of anger in his eyes. His body moved like a ghost, and every move was just right to avoid the attack of the strange fish. At the same time, with fierce punches and kicks, he kicked these uninvited guests back into the surging waves.

"Bang, bang, bang", the sounds of fists and feet hitting each other and the roar of the waves intertwined to form a thrilling melody.

"Swordfish school, hurry, speed up!" Seeing this, the captain immediately gave a decisive order, and his voice echoed on the deck.

The sailors immediately took action upon hearing this. They skillfully activated the formation on the sail. A flash of light appeared on the sail, and a strong thrust suddenly came. The entire ship seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, drawing a graceful arc on the sea and moving forward at an astonishing speed.

However, the crisis was not resolved. At the stern of their ship, they could vaguely see a dense mass of strange fish rolling and jumping in the sea water, like a black wave, chasing them closely. The eyes of these strange fish were full of greed and anger, as if they wanted to devour the entire ship.

Seeing this, the guards on the ship immediately picked up the crossbows in their hands and stood at the stern. They looked solemn and their eyes were like torches, shooting at the approaching strange fish. The sound of crossbows cutting through the air came one after another. Several strange fish were unfortunately hit, and the bright red blood instantly dyed the surrounding sea water red. However, for these huge strange fish, this was just a tiny cut. They didn't seem to be affected much and still stubbornly chased the ship.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the deck was extremely tense. Everyone knew that if they could not get rid of these strange fish, the consequences would be disastrous.

Liu Jun also strode to the stern of the boat, staring at the strange fish that were chasing him closely. Those strange fish were huge and ferocious, like bullies in the sea, running rampant.

However, facing this scene, a cold smile appeared on Liu Jun's lips, and that smile revealed an unquestionable determination and ruthlessness.

He quickly took out a bunch of black balls from the storage space. The surface of these balls was rough, and they were connected to a thin fuse that flashed a faint light.

"Come on, take this thing, and throw it over here after you've ordered it!" Liu Jun shouted to the guards beside him.

The guards were stunned at first, obviously a little surprised by this sudden order. But soon, they reacted quickly, reaching out to take the black balls, lighting the fuses, and throwing them into the turbulent sea without hesitation.

"No response?" A guard looked at the calm sea and couldn't help but mutter. However, before he finished speaking, there was a loud "boom" that shook the entire ship. A powerful shock wave spread across the sea, creating huge waves.

This was just the prelude to destruction. Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions followed one after another, like endless thunder. The strange fish that were chasing were hit one after another in the aftermath of the explosion, and their bodies kept floating to the surface of the sea.

Liu Jun stood at the stern, watching all this coldly, with no mercy or sympathy on his face. On the contrary, his eyes were full of indifference and disdain, as if the lives of these strange fish were not worth mentioning in his eyes.

"Go on, don't stop, I want to see how fearless these strange fish are of death!" Liu Jun spoke again, his voice revealing a coldness and determination.

Upon hearing this, the guards increased the speed of throwing the black balls. For a moment, there were continuous explosions on the sea and flames shot into the sky.

Facts have proved that although these strange fish are known for their ferocity and are rampant and fearless in the Sea of ​​Death, they are ultimately creatures that are afraid of death.

When they were hit hard by this wave of bombs, groups of strange fish suffered heavy losses. The corpses of strange fish floated on the water and the smell of blood quickly spread.

Faced with this sudden change, the remaining fish seemed to realize the danger. They stopped their frantic pursuit, dived into the water, and disappeared in the chaos. This thrilling chase finally came to an end.

At this moment, the ship Liu Jun and his crew were on, after experiencing the life-and-death speed just now, sprinted for half an incense stick of time, and then gradually slowed down.
It's not that they don't want to continue to speed up, but because the spiritual energy of the reserve ship core in the ship is running out. This reserve ship core, as the heart of the entire ship, plays a vital role. It is similar to an oversized spiritual stone, which not only provides the necessary lighting for the ship, but also is the source of power to drive the ship forward.

The sails on the ship are not without function. These sails enable the ship to use the wind to sail through the waves, greatly reducing the waste of spiritual energy. This allows the ship to sail longer and use the spiritual energy of the core of the ship in key areas.

Of course, if we want to make a full-out sprint like this again, we will probably have to wait a long time until the ship's core spiritual energy is restored.

After such a sudden crisis, the atmosphere on the ship became much heavier. Many people's faces were filled with tension and anxiety. Even the fat man, who was usually the most lively, became much more restrained.

Most people here were setting foot on the mysterious and dangerous waters of the Death Sea for the first time. They had only heard about the horror and danger of the Death Sea from others, but when the real danger came upon them so quickly and violently, the psychological shock came like a tide, making them unable to extricate themselves for a while.

However, in stark contrast to the panic of these people, the sailors and captain on the ship seemed relatively calm. Their eyes revealed a calmness and composure, as if they had long been accustomed to such storms and crises. They were all retired veterans specially arranged by Vice Admiral Chen for Liu Jun. They had once controlled those huge steel ships in naval battles and had fought countless fierce battles with the enemy. For them, this seemingly dangerous scene was just a microcosm of the countless battles they had experienced.

Despite the depressing atmosphere, the wooden boat was still sailing steadily on the sea, breaking through the waves, getting closer and closer to Liu Jun and his party's destination.

However, this destination is not a clear landmark or port, but a vague and mysterious place-Wu Peng Tomb. In order to find this legendary ancient tomb, they must go to the island mentioned by Yao Guangxiao.

Unfortunately, the island was not clearly marked on the map, and even Liu Jun could not find any trace of it on the military chart carefully prepared by Donglai Port. This meant that they could only rely on the approximate location information and experience at sea, slowly wandering in the vast ocean, looking for the island that might hide secrets.

"Well, come some people and let's have a party!" Liu Jun looked around at the slightly dull atmosphere, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then greeted everyone enthusiastically.

The captain of the guard looked confused, his brows furrowed, as if he had heard something incredible: "Where should we lie down? Sir, do you mean we should lie on the ground?"

As he said that, the guy leaned over to the side of the boat and stuck his butt out.

Liu Junyi's forehead was black, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He quickly explained: "It's not lying down, it means gathering. Find a few people to cut up this fish, and I'll make you a grilled fish, and we'll have a good time."

As he spoke, he pointed to the huge strange fish on the deck, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

The captain of the guard suddenly realized what was going on. He patted his forehead and said with a smile, "Okay! Sir, I'll arrange it right away." After that, he hurriedly called a few of his men over and started to cut up the big fish together.

Liu Jun was busy setting up several ovens, putting charcoal on them, and lighting a fire. The flames danced in the air, illuminating his focused face.

Liu Jun carefully placed the chopped fish on the stove and began to roast it. He turned the fish from time to time and sprinkled some spices and seasonings on it, filling the air with an enticing aroma.

Liu Jun's barbecue skills are impeccable. After a while, the golden fish meat exudes a fragrance that makes people salivate.

Everyone on the boat sat around the grill, admiring Liu Jun's barbecue skills and chatting, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.

As the grilled fish came out of the oven, everyone picked up their chopsticks and tasted this delicious dish. The fish meat was tender and juicy, with an excellent taste, which made people praise it.

As night fell, the deck became a little dark, but everyone's interest did not diminish at all. They all sat around the barbecue, smiling and enjoying this rare tranquility and relaxation.

As for the previous tense and depressing atmosphere, it had long since dissipated without a trace.

Chen Manni sat elegantly in a corner of the cabin, with a warm and peaceful smile on her face, like a flower blooming in spring. She occasionally turned her head and whispered to the maid and Niya beside her. Silver bell-like laughter could be heard from time to time during the conversation, adding some vitality and fun to this long voyage.

The fat guy also returned to normal and became active again. He didn't want to be lonely and would interject from time to time, which made everyone laugh and made the atmosphere more harmonious.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao slowly walked to Liu Jun's side and said solemnly in a low voice: "It is estimated that we will need another five days of sailing to reach the approximate location of the island. It is located in the center of the Sea of ​​Death. As our ship approaches step by step, the hidden dangers will emerge like a tide, and it should not be underestimated."

"When the wind comes, we will stop it; when the water comes, we will cover it with earth"

Hearing this, Liu Jun simply uttered eight words, as if he had already put life and death aside. He picked up a piece of fragrant barbecue and chewed it with big mouthfuls, while his deep eyes penetrated the night and stared at the dark sea in front of him.

Except for the flickering lights on the boat, it was pitch black all around. Even with Liu Jun's extraordinary eyesight, he could only barely see the vague outlines a few hundred meters away. In this endless darkness, it seemed that countless unknowns and terrors were hidden, ready to swallow up this lonely boat at any time, which made people feel cold.

"Well, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we have no way to retreat." Yao Guangxiao echoed softly. Although his voice was soft, it revealed a kind of determination. "I just hope that we can successfully overcome these difficulties and finally reach the other side."
