Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 100: Thick Fog Island, Nine-Storey Pagoda

"What the hell is that?" Cheng Lang asked in surprise, "Is that an island?"

"Could it be the Misty Island?" the magic mirror guessed.

Cheng Lang subconsciously glanced at the metal bowl he had been holding in his hand. Unfortunately, the small boat in the metal bowl was not pointing to the small island rising slowly from the sea in the distance.

"Not it"

As Cheng Lang spoke, he summoned a huge jellyfish through the center of the ship to cover the hull, and at the same time signaled the Silver Queen to continue moving towards the distant Misty Island.

The Valkyrie's speed was not very fast at this time, and the acceleration mushroom had been used to its limit, but the island behind it was getting bigger and bigger!

"Is that also the Cytus Disaster?"

Cheng Lang asked as he looked at the "island" covered with green algae rising from the sea.

"No, that's not the Plague of Cetus," the Magic Mirror replied nervously, "but I'm afraid he's targeting us."

“We are not under the protection of the Queen of the Sea”

"Oh!"

Before Cheng Lang finished speaking, a tentacle-like object hit the hull neither lightly nor heavily.

This attack did not cause any substantial damage to the Valkyrie, but it broke the stealth state it had just entered, and by the way, it also splashed a large amount of mucus on the ship, like clear snot, almost sticking Cheng Lang to the floor.

What was even more frightening was that the raised island that was hundreds of meters away in the last second came closer in the blink of an eye. When Cheng Lang struggled out of the clear snot, the Valkyrie had actually rushed into a dark cave!
It was not until this time that he realized that it was not the island that was rushing towards them, but the Valkyrie was being pulled towards them by the huge tentacle!
"Don't we have the protection of the Queen of the Sea's ship lights?"

Cheng Lang wiped the snot off his face and asked the question he hadn't finished asking just now.

But this time, the magic mirror did not give him any response.

"Magic mirror? Magic mirror?"

As Cheng Lang shouted, a whip appeared in his hand, "Silver Queen? Silver Queen?"

"Uncle Captain!"

At that moment, Wuying ran out of the cabin with a sobbing voice, hugged his slimy thigh, and said in panic with a sobbing voice, "Mom is gone, Hiss is gone! Grandpa Magic Mirror is gone too!"

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Cheng Lang didn't care about the mucus on his body at this time. After picking up Wuying, he quickly walked to the open-air control platform at the stern of the ship. He had to steer the boat out as soon as possible.

But when he walked to the stern, he found that the entrance to the cave they had just entered was gone!
Not only that, the Valkyrie stopped moving forward at this time, and there was even no water in the cave.

What the hell is going on?
Before he could figure out the reason, a pale yellow light appeared in the cave.

The light came from the surrounding rock walls. Although the light was not strong, it was enough for him to see everything clearly.

Generally speaking, this cave is big enough to accommodate at least a dozen people.

He subconsciously glanced at the metal bowl in his hand. The small boat inside was still heading straight in one direction without any change.

"We were eaten by monsters again," Wuying, who was almost stuck to Cheng Lang by the layer of snot, suddenly said.

"What did you just say?" Cheng Lang was stunned.

"We are in the belly of the monster, no no."

Wuying thought for a moment and said again, "We are in the monster's mouth. Yes, we are in the monster's mouth."

In the monster's mouth?

"This big monster runs so fast," Wuying said again.

"Running so fast?"

Cheng Lang frowned, "Are we moving?"

"Yeah!" Wuying nodded, "Moving in the water."

"you can see?"

"It was the fog around me that told me that."

Wuying said pitifully, "But I can't find my mother, nor can I find Grandpa Magic Mirror. I don't know where my Hiss has gone."

"Don't be afraid, I will help you find them."

Cheng Lang suppressed his uneasiness and glanced at the metal bowl in his other hand. As he walked towards the stern deck, he said, "Wuying, do you know which direction we are moving?"

"That direction!"

Wuying, who was held by Cheng Lang, raised her hand and pointed in a direction without thinking - the direction of Misty Island.

Is it
Cheng Lang thought for a moment, then pulled off the Wuying that was stuck to his body with difficulty and said, "Wuying, go wash off the dirt on your body first."

"it is good"

Wuying responded crisply, and then like a little mouse on a mousetrap, he walked into the public bathroom in the stern deck with difficulty, step by step.

At the same time, Cheng Lang also walked into another public bathroom with peace of mind, washing the snot that was becoming increasingly sticky on his body and clothes.

By the time he and Wuying came out of the two public bathrooms in their wet clothes, the vine goblins had already started cleaning the slime on the deck.

"This big monster is diving"

Wuying said as she spun in circles to shake off the water stains on her skirt, "He's starting to rise again!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lang glanced at the small wooden boat in the metal bowl again. Seeing that the direction had not changed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wuying, I have a task for you."

"Say it!"

Wuying, who was almost dizzy, stopped and looked at Cheng Lang. Several reins appeared in her hands. "Who do you need me to tie up?!"

“No one needs it”

Cheng Lang shook his head helplessly and pointed at the ship's light hanging on the open-air bridge at the stern. He said, "You must stay on the ship and guard that light. You must not let it go out, and you cannot get off the ship."

"What about you?" Wuying immediately became panicked, and the only expression on her adorable little face was fear.

"I'm going to take a look in this cave," Cheng Lang pointed to the distance, "I won't go too far."

"Okay"

Wuying nodded pitifully, and after hesitating for a while, he took off the floppy red tortoise shell hat on his head and said, "Uncle Captain, squat down."

"What are you going to do?" Cheng Lang squatted down and asked with a smile.

“Put this on.”

Wuying said as she stood on tiptoe and put the hat on Cheng Lang's head, saying with a firm tone, "It will protect you!"

"What about you?" Cheng Lang asked.

"The heart of the ship will protect me," Wuying replied as a matter of course, "Uncle Captain, you have to come back soon. I, I'm not afraid! But you have to come back soon."

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

Cheng Lang touched the top of the other person's head, stood up and walked to the side of the ship and looked down, then wrapped the whip around the railing of the ship and left the Valkyrie.

But soon, Cheng Lang, with a red hat on his head, used a whip to return to the Valkyrie - but without a pair of boots.

"I'm back," Cheng Lang said helplessly, and at the same time took off the hat on his head and carefully put it back on Wuying.

Letting the tiny antlers and a wisp of white hair on his head show through the three holes in the hat, Wuying asked happily, "Did you find your mother? I didn't even have time to check on the ship's lantern."

Hearing this, Cheng Lang grinned awkwardly. The reason why he came back so quickly was because the ground outside was too sticky and he couldn't move at all. He even had no doubt that this was only because he was wearing shoes. If he hadn't worn shoes, he would probably have been covered in sticky dirt.

"Boom-"

Just at this moment, a slightly dull impact sound came from the direction of the cave entrance.

Immediately afterwards, the sealed cave entrance was opened silently, and the Valkyrie, which had been stuck to the ground, also moved along with the ground and left the cave with a violent push on its back.

When Cheng Lang got up after falling to the ground, the small wooden boat representing the Valkyrie had begun to spin in the metal bowl that he subconsciously held in his arms.

Subconsciously looking towards the bow of the ship, I saw that the island that suddenly appeared had begun to sink, but such a huge body did not cause any waves on the sea.

Looking at the stern, there is another small island.

The area is not very large, at least not as big as the original Savage Island. It is an island with lush vegetation, plenty of sunshine, and a beautiful coastline.

Looking around the island, the end of the sight is a circle of thick and unreachable fog wall. Inside the fog wall, you can see frequent lightning and huge waves.

But on this side of the clear-cut fog wall, the weather was strangely sunny and windy. From time to time, fish would jump out of the calm sea, and flocks of seabirds would fly by.

Looking at the small island again, there seems to be a building hidden among the lush vegetation - a Chinese-style pagoda.

Is this Misty Island?

"Don't run around"

Cheng Lang whispered an instruction, but he did not let his guard down.

"Wherever Captain goes, I go!" Wuying, who had already hidden behind Cheng Lang, said in a low voice.

"Come back with me to get some things first."

As Cheng Lang spoke, he took Wuying's hand, which had just been washed, and led her into the captain's office. He opened the box he had obtained on the Savage Island and put the metal bowl in it first. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the badge and pinned it on his belt.

Then he took out a bunch of incense sticks he had made himself and put them in the basket and asked Wuying to help carry it.

Still not in a hurry to go to the island, Cheng Lang went into the kitchen and fried a plate of bean sprouts, boiled a portion of soy milk, and made a dish of cold tofu.

After putting these and a pair of chopsticks into a basket, Cheng Lang returned to the bedroom, took a careful shower and changed into clean clothes. Then, he left the Valkyrie, which had been stranded on the beach, with Wuying, and walked step by step towards the pagoda in the heart of the island.

"Uncle Captain, where is this place?" Wuying asked, craning his neck.

"here it is"

Cheng Lang thought for a moment and said with a smile, "This is the home of a friend of mine."

"Oh"

Wuying turned his head to look at the Valkyrie behind him, then subconsciously hid behind Cheng Lang.

The two people, one big and one small, walked towards the interior of the island for a while before they noticed a beautiful stone bridge.

"This bridge is so beautiful," exclaimed Wuying, who poked his head out from behind Cheng Lang.

"This is the Zhaozhou Bridge, how can it not be beautiful?" Cheng Lang sighed in his native language, which only he could understand.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Wuying looked up blankly at the captain who was being held by his finger.

"Nothing, just keep walking."

Cheng Lang smiled and took the other party across the stone bridge that might have carried homesickness, and then walked along a winding mountain path to the pagoda on the top of the mountain.

Along the way, Cheng Lang also discovered that both sides of the path were planted with various towering fruit trees.

"Uncle Captain, I want to eat that!"

Wuying said as he looked up at the red peaches hanging on a big tree.

"for you"

Cheng Lang whipped the whip, picked a big red peach and handed it to Wuying, but he didn't pick an extra one for himself.

"Don't you want to eat it?" Wuying asked, holding the peach.

“Eat it yourself.”

Cheng Lang smiled and continued walking along the winding mountain path with the shadow of fog.

After a long time, when the Valkyrie at the foot of the mountain was blocked by the mountains, Cheng Lang also walked to the door of the pagoda with Wuying.

On the closed lintel of the pagoda, there is a plaque with gold characters on a black background.

"Glass Pagoda of Da Baoen Temple"

Cheng Lang read out the question on the plaque. At the same time, a long bell sound of "dong" came from the top of the tower.

Walking up the steps to the door, Cheng Lang tried to push it, but found that the vermilion lacquered door was closed, but there was a long gap in the door.

After a moment's thought, he suddenly took out the badge and stuffed it in.

With a slight "creak", the red door opened and Cheng Lang's eyes widened.

In the huge space on the first floor of this pagoda, wooden boxes are placed against the walls.

These boxes were filled with gold coins and various gold products. Even the floor was covered with a thick layer of gold coins. On top of these gold coins was a golden sailboat that was more than two meters long.

There is a big word "Qin" written on the hard sail of this sailboat.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Lang pulled Wuying up the wooden stairs and went up to the second floor. There were wooden shelves around this floor, and on them were cups of Poseidon's blood.

"Isn't this about seven or eight hundred cups?"

Cheng Lang sighed deeply, then continued walking up to the third floor of the tower.

The shelves on this floor are filled with pieces of armor.

Continue up to the fourth floor, this time there are pieces of armor on the shelves.

Without any pause, and without picking up anything on the shelf, Cheng Lang brought Wuying to the fifth floor. This floor was still a shelf, but what was placed on the shelves had become various exquisitely shaped cold weapons.

Still nothing moved, the two continued to go up to the sixth floor. This time, the surrounding shelves were filled with ship-shaped bottles of different styles!
After swallowing hard, Cheng Lang brought Wuying, who was busy eating a peach, to the seventh floor.

Contrary to his expectation, there was no treasure on this floor, but the surrounding walls were hung with many Chinese landscape paintings or familiar calligraphy works.

In the middle, there is a long table with a set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

After admiring the calligraphy and paintings, Cheng Lang continued to climb up to the eighth floor with Wuying.

The space on this floor is smaller and the layout is simpler. There is only a large telescope with a stand and a huge sea chart hanging on the wall.

That sea chart was not the Sea of ​​Despair nor the Sea of ​​Stars, but rather "Da Ming".

Sighing silently, Cheng Lang still didn't touch anything, but just pulled Wuying to the top floor of the pagoda.

The space on this floor is undoubtedly the smallest compared to the floors below, but the things placed here made Cheng Lang's eyes widen.

Eternal Coffin!

There is actually an eternal coffin here!
