Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 61 One-sided battle
Before he could even begin to bear the weight, Cheng Lang whipped his whip to draw back the toxins from the seawater. As the whip turned black, the Valkyrie was once again covered in black mold.

But while the whip could retract its own toxins, it couldn't protect against sea elf poisons or dangerous mushroom spores. Because of this, Cheng Lang's thinking gradually slowed, and he drifted away from the submerged Valkyrie.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, a vine swung out from the hull of the boat, wrapped around his ankle and pulled him back. Before he hit the deck, he was once again caught steadily by the vine goblin leader, the Great Sage, in a princess hug.

Without waiting to put him down, Yafuso ran over and poured a cup of antidote prepared by Yun Ji in advance into his mouth.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

After a violent coughing fit, Cheng Lang finally regained consciousness, and then struggled to control the center of the ship to make the Valkyrie begin to float.

In just a short while, the sea cavalry around the two ships had been slaughtered, leaving only large sea horses floating on the sea with their bellies turned upside down, looking like meat on a chopping board against the background of the burning fish oil floating on the sea in the distance.

"Magic Mirror, how many enemies have we killed?"

Cheng Lang sat down against the mast, enduring the dizziness and nausea that was worse than seasickness and asked.

"1217," the magic mirror replied immediately, "and at least one troop of sea cavalry has yet to arrive."

"Where is Tingyu Island?" Cheng Lang continued to ask.

"No signal has come yet," the magic mirror replied immediately.

"Captain, what are you talking about?"

Yafuso asked in confusion. They couldn't see or hear the magic mirror or his answer at all, so they just thought that their captain was hallucinating because he was too deeply poisoned.

"nothing"

Cheng Lang waved his hand, "Send the signal, we will leave the fog and approach Dragonfly Fish Island."

"us."

"We need to create opportunities for Yun Ji, hurry up." Cheng Lang urged.

Upon hearing this, Yafuso immediately conveyed his order loudly to Shenba. At the same time, the magic mirror also sent a light signal to the Honest Man not far away.

At the same time, Cheng Lang manipulated the center of the ship to summon a cloud of sea fog that moved with the ship. Then, with the last bit of consciousness he managed to maintain, he said, "Tell the pirate brothers to fire provocatively."

Before he could finish his words, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness, entering a dream where he was surrounded by all kinds of delicious mushrooms.

poisoned.
Although Cheng Lang realized this possibility, he was unable to regain consciousness at this time.

He didn't even know that thumb-sized black and pink mushrooms had sprouted all over his body - just like the poisoned Marines.

At the same time, on Dragonfly Island, Jin Fin, the leader of the Siren Raiders, also noticed the thick fog slowly approaching the island.

"Send a signal to the cavalrymen who were sent out and ask them to come back immediately!" Jin Fin shouted and gave the order.

As the order was given, some Marines immediately ran to the outskirts of the island and released a group of extremely fast-swimming swordfish.

However, these sea cavalrymen, even including Jin Fin who was standing at the highest point, did not notice that while they were guarding against the approaching sea fog, a slender and tall shadow quietly left the hatchery behind them, easily killed a patrolling sea cavalryman with a slender sharp blade, and dragged him to the door of a nearby rock house.

This spacious house holds many sirens and half-sirens, including some humans.

"Shh-"

Yun Ji made a silent gesture and then asked in a low voice, "I'm a friend of Tinisha. Are there any bands left on this island? Where are they being held captive?"

"The concert hall opposite"

A half-siren with scaly arms whispered, "The captured band is being held in the concert hall across the street."

"I need you to cause chaos"

After Yun Ji finished speaking, without waiting for their agreement, she slipped out of the cell, slid silently into the hatchery again, and swam to the other side.

Before she could get ashore, the islanders who had just been released from the cells rushed out and rushed towards the marines they could see around them without caring about their own lives.

The fighting power of these islanders is not weak. Except for a few weak sirens, most of them are small-time sailors and human sailors who escaped here by chance. In other words, they are no strangers to fighting!
Especially at this time, there were no guards on the island, and as the cells were opened one by one, the number of people resisting increased, especially since most of the guards were deaf!

The advantages did not stop there. When Jin Fin and his confidants noticed the situation behind them, the Valkyrie and the Honest Man had already reached the edge of the island. The sea fog that followed the Valkyrie also covered at least one-third of the island.

"laugh"

Under the cover of thick fog, Yun Ji easily killed the guards here after she got ashore. Then she took out the flintlock that Shen Ba had won from the captain, aimed at the iron lock outside the concert hall and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Amid the crisp sound of gunfire, the iron lock opened, and Jin Fin, who was standing at the highest point of the island, was frightened. Without thinking, he picked up a flintlock rifle and turned around to aim at the direction of the concert hall in the thick fog!

"boom!"

After the gunshot, he immediately jumped down, landed in the hatchery with a "plop", and then rushed to the concert hall.

But at this time, Yun Ji had already rushed in, and the shot just now did not hit her.

In the concert hall, there were large oak barrels nailed shut, and the sound of water splashing could be heard from within them.

She opened an oak barrel as quickly as possible, but before she could see if there was a merman hiding inside, a burly mermaid at least two meters and five feet tall rushed in.

"It's you clowns again!" Jin Chi cursed and rushed over waving a pair of scimitars.

"Who do you think I am?"

Yun Ji easily dodged the opponent's first round of attacks, stepped on the wall and nimbly went behind the opponent. At the same time, the slender and sharp dagger in her hand stabbed Jin Chi's knee.

However, the siren's defense was far beyond her expectations. When she stabbed it, the tip of the knife even sent out sparks, but it didn't penetrate the skin at all.

After narrowly dodging the opponent's scimitar that was sweeping towards her, Yun Ji kicked the opponent's thigh to gain some distance.

Jin Chi did not answer, but turned around and chopped again.

"Bang! Bang!"

Yun Ji put away her knife, drew out her flintlock, and pulled the trigger towards Jin Chi's eyes.

"Clang!"

Jin Chi easily blocked the two bullets with his scimitar, and then rushed forward.

Just at this moment, Yun Ji showed a smile on her face that made him uneasy, and then she threw two glass bottles at him.

"Whizzing!"

Almost at the same time, two sleeve arrows flew out from Yun Ji's sleeves, accurately shattering the two glass bottles, causing the black elf poison and a large amount of corpse mushroom spores inside to splash everywhere.

"Ah! Achoo!"

With his face covered in spores, Jin Fin sneezed uncontrollably, but because of this sneeze he inhaled more dangerous spores.

By the time he realized something was wrong, everything in front of him had become double, and in front of him appeared a tall and slender, yet exceptionally flexible mushroom.

Shaking his head, Jin Fin rushed over waving a scimitar. He had realized that he was poisoned. He wanted to leave the concert hall as soon as possible and jump into the incubation pool!
Yun Ji was also retreating, but as she left the room, she jumped hard and grabbed the edge of the corridor on the second floor. Then, as Jin Chi rushed out, she let go of her hands and pulled out the two sharp daggers from behind!

"puff!"

Yun Ji, who was almost squatting on top of Jin Chi's head, stabbed down hard, and the two daggers accurately pierced into the gill holes on both sides of Jin Chi's neck!
"puff!"

Yun Ji supported the other person's head with her hands, kicked hard with her legs at the ends of the two daggers, and like a cat, she nimbly used the force to climb onto the railing on the second floor.

"thump!"

Jin Chi slowly knelt on the ground, and the two huge scimitars in his hands fell to the stone ground with a clang.

"Plop!" There was another muffled sound, and Jin Chi fell to the ground, leaving only his strong body still twitching unconsciously.

The siren's vitality far exceeded that of humans, so he did not die at this time, but the nerves in his spine had been severed.

Jumping down silently, Yun Ji walked to Jin Chi's side, stepped on his broad shoulders, pulled out a dagger, and then stabbed it into his brain along the gill.

Until she was sure that Jin Chi was dead, Yun Ji did not pull out the two daggers. Instead, she just picked up the two flintlock rifles and rushed upstairs under the cover of thick fog.

At the same time, Belvik, who had already docked, finally blindfolded himself with the cloth given to him by the heart of the ship, and rushed to the Dragonfly Island with a hundred or so fearless sailors, and fought with the sea cavalry who had lost their mounts.

With the islanders' fearless efforts and the support of both inside and outside forces, the battle did not last long and ended after Belvek and his sailors fled back to the lower cabin of the Honest Man.

However, Cheng Lang's condition was not very good at this time. His whole body was covered with poisonous mushrooms, and he was unconscious. Naturally, he had no way to dispel the thick fog he had summoned.

Fortunately, with the presence of Tinisa and her band members, the people on the island finally figured out what had happened.

While everyone was busy, the merfolk in the concert hall who were soaked in alcohol were thrown into the incubation pool with their buckets to sober up. The bodies of the killed sea troopers were cleared of all the things on their bodies and sent to the fake ventricle of the Valkyrie for harmless disposal.

In the early morning, when the bright sunshine came down, the poisonous mushrooms all over Cheng Lang's body, who was lying naked on a rock on the shore, disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he woke up soon after.

Looking around, he even subconsciously thought that he had reloaded the game and returned to the Savage Island.

"Dear Captain, you are finally awake."

Kervik said flatteringly, and handed over a thick robe.

"What happened?" Cheng Lang asked blankly.

"You've been poisoned by the corpse mushroom," Kervik explained, pointing to the sunlight overhead. "Thankfully, you've finally woken up."

"The battle is over?"

Cheng Lang subconsciously looked at his body. Fortunately, apart from some muddy stains, there were no terrible scars or sequelae.

"It's over. We've successfully recaptured Dragonfish Island," Kervik said. "Respected Captain, please return immediately to dispel the fog. The Valkyrie is not in good condition."

"The Valkyrie?"

Cheng Lang's heart sank, and he quickly followed the other party, mounted a large seahorse, and ran towards the Valkyrie, which was still shrouded in thick fog in the distance.

Before he even got on the boat, his eyes widened. At this moment, the boat was already covered with large and small corpse mushrooms everywhere!
Shivering involuntarily, Cheng Lang hurriedly dispelled the thick fog. Suddenly, as the sunlight shone down, the poisonous mushrooms all over the ship melted and turned into black mud soup. The vine goblins, which were also covered with mushrooms and were crawling around on the deck with their butts sticking up like big bugs, also stopped one after another and then sat up in a daze.

"You finally woke up"

Yun Ji, still wearing her sea snake combat uniform, walked over from a distance. "The battle is over. I killed Jin Fin."

"What about our losses?" Cheng Lang asked.

"Aside from you being covered in poisonous mushrooms, there wasn't much damage. The small crewmen only had one serious injury, and they've already received medicine."

Yun Ji followed Cheng Lang as they walked towards the boat and replied, "Also, the boatman Wilton has been found."

Hearing this, Cheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is another bad news," Yun Ji followed.

"What bad news?" Cheng Lang asked as he walked into the captain's cabin, "Except for the rampant poisonous mushrooms."

"We captured several sea troopers. They said they sent word before the battle ended. A group of sea troopers hunting the lyretail fishmen will be arriving soon."

Yun Ji said, "Also, those corpse mushrooms are too dangerous. Except for me, everyone else was infected, including Xin Weng."

"Where are they?" Cheng Lang asked.

"You're probably waiting in the room for the sun," Yunji replied. "It was Kervik and his sailors who brought you out of the fog."

"We really can't cultivate those poisonous mushrooms anymore."

Cheng Lang couldn't help but shudder. It was a good thing that today was a sunny day, otherwise the consequences would be
He quickly returned to the captain's bedroom, took a shower and changed his clothes. When Cheng Lang came out again, the other crew members except Teng Xiao also walked out of their cabins with fear on their faces. Obviously, the nightmare they had just experienced was not much better than that of their unlucky captain.

"What's the situation on the island now?" Cheng Lang asked as he led everyone off the boat.

"The damage done to Dragonfish Island by the Golden Fin was not significant."

Yun Ji replied, "The islanders are preparing a banquet to welcome us. They have also selected several representatives to discuss with us how to deal with the upcoming sea cavalry."

"Go, go."

Cheng Lang quickened his pace as he spoke, while also observing the uniquely shaped island.

At the lower end of this gourd-shaped island, islanders have already started dumping something into the atoll in small boats.

On the higher side, the islanders standing on the balconies were waving at them enthusiastically to express their gratitude.

After passing through a cave only five meters wide between two circular reefs, he finally saw the interior of the island.

The area here is large enough, with a calm lagoon in the middle that is as big as two football fields. Surrounding this almost standard circular lagoon is a circle of beautiful beaches, on which there are some decorations such as parasols, tables and chairs.
Further out, there is a circle of corridors paved with stone slabs, and on one side of these corridors are rooms or shops next to each other.

There are a large number of flowers and plants climbing on the second, third and even fourth layers of this natural rock wall that looks like a Colosseum. Inside those flowers and plants, each layer has a circle of corridors and more rooms.

In those corridors, many people were waving at them enthusiastically.

“Isn’t this a natural earth building?”

Cheng Lang muttered to himself, then asked in confusion, "How did those sea cavalry capture this place?"

Yun Ji explained simply, "They attacked here by surprise, and there are many waterways leading to the hatching pool underwater. This place is not as safe as it looks, especially when the opponent is a siren."

Hearing this, Cheng Lang nodded secretly and, led by Yun Ji, entered a rather spacious stone hall.

"You finally woke up"

Tinisha greeted Cheng Lang warmly and introduced them one by one. "This is the representative of the Council of Dragonfly Fish Island, Aunt Mirella, a half-blood mermaid; Uncle Saraso, a Star Clan mermaid; and Grandpa Wilton, a human craftsman. He also runs a restaurant, which is the only restaurant on Dragonfly Fish Island."

At this point, Tinisha said enthusiastically, "He is Captain Cheng Lang who saved us."

"Hello"

Cheng Lang greeted the three of them enthusiastically.

The half-blood mermaid Omirella is a middle-aged woman with a charming appearance. She has gill holes with metal rings on her neck and blue fins on her elbows.

The star clan mermaid Saraso obviously has an undeniable connection with starfish. His golden "hair" looks like the tentacles of starfish.

And the human craftsman Wilton was obviously the purpose of their trip.

This Wilton was a plump and amiable man. He was wearing an apron made of some unknown leather with a row of table knives pinned on it.

"Captain Cheng Lang, thank you for saving Tinisa and Dragonfly Island."

Uncle Saraso was the first to speak, and he said with great gratitude, "Thanks to you, otherwise we islanders would probably have become slaves of the Golden Fin."

"That's nothing," Cheng Lang replied with a smile, "This is what every righteous sailor should do."

"Young Captain of Justice"

Wilton said, "I want to talk to you alone about hiring you to help us deal with the arriving Marines."

"Of course, Mr. Wilton, we are very happy to accept your employment." Cheng Lang said. He knew that the other party already knew the purpose of his coming here.
