Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 82: The Disaster of Cytus

"Gulp! G ...

Inside the "crystal coffin" that was covered by a naked captain himself, Cheng Lang was spitting bubbles and slapping the thick crystal coffin frantically.

He was careless. He thought the ship's core gave him the ability to breathe underwater, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
However, when he closed the coffin lid with his own hands, he discovered that the ability to breathe underwater given to him by the ship's core had completely failed!

Caught off guard, he immediately choked on a large mouthful of water, and then choked again and again, with strings of bubbles popping out uncontrollably.

Finally, Cheng Lang, who was curled up in the crystal coffin, stopped struggling and completely lost consciousness.

It was also from this time that a light pink color began to seep out of his body.

In the blink of an eye, the spring water in the crystal coffin was dyed blood red, then dark red and even black.

But soon, the spring water gradually became clear and transparent, but the crystal coffin itself seemed to become a little dimmer.

Not long after, pink color seeped out of Cheng Lang's body again, and the spring water began to circle from pink to black again, and finally became clear and transparent again, making the crystal coffin even more hazy and dim.

During these rounds of changes, the crystal coffin gradually changed from transparent to black, but the spring water inside continued to change as usual.

This was destined to be a long process, so long that when he was busy taking a bath and his life or death was unknown, he didn't know whether he had become smelly.

Gerta had already grown boxes of vegetables, and the youngest crew member, Wuying, had once again secretly eaten all the poisonous mushrooms growing on the mast while Yafuso wasn't paying attention. Even Yunji had solved the mystery of one of the treasure maps.

During the anxious wait day after day, even Kervik on the Honest Man came over more than once and asked about Cheng Lang's situation in a roundabout way.

However, at this time, not to mention the people on the Valkyrie, even the magic mirror could not see what was happening to Li Chenglang in the crystal coffin.

"Why did you eat them all again?"

Yafuso knelt beside the mast and asked in a dejected manner. She couldn't remember how many times this had happened. She couldn't even remember when she last saw those poisonous mushrooms.

"It's delicious." Wuying said pitifully, "I want to eat it, please, sister."

"But. But"

Yafuso touched the pair of scissors on her waist with tears in her eyes. Since she got the scissors, she only had time to "trim" these rare poisonous mushrooms once.

However, before she could figure out how long the poisonous mushrooms she cut could be preserved, the little troublemaker Wuying took advantage of her inattention and not only ate all the poisonous mushrooms she cut, but even those that had just grown on the pillars were not spared.

"well--!"

Yafuso let out a long sigh and asked resignedly, "Wuying, did you have any reaction after eating those poisonous mushrooms?"

"good to eat"

Wuying bit his finger and said, "It's fun to eat it. It will make you stronger."

"Delicious? Happy? Stronger?"

Yafuso was stunned. "Is the food I cooked not delicious?"

"good to eat"

Wuying nodded vigorously. "But mushrooms are delicious too. I like mushrooms."

"strangeness."

Yafuso looked at the Mist Shadow that she had caught red-handed with a strange look. She remembered that when the Mist Spirit summoned the fog, it was because the spores of those poisonous mushrooms were thrown into the center pool of the ship that the Valkyrie ran so fast as if it had taken drugs.

Could it be that Wuying inherited this drug habit?
Yafuso thought for a moment and then shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mrs. Silver Queen!"

"Did she eat your mushrooms again?" The Silver Queen appeared in the lower cabin in the blink of an eye.

"really"

Yafuso said helplessly, "I don't feel sorry for those mushrooms. I'm just worried that they are poisonous and will upset her stomach."

“I’ll try my best to take good care of her.”

The Silver Queen said apologetically but helplessly, "Mist Shadow is essentially the same being as me. My mist can't stop her. I'm sorry, I will."

"No, no, no, don't be sorry."

Yafuso quickly waved her hands and said, "I really don't feel sorry for those mushrooms. I'm just worried that she will get sick from eating them. What if the captain wakes up and finds out that I gave Wuying poisonous mushrooms casually?"

“I’ll try my best to take good care of her.”

The Silver Queen said more apologetically, "Also, I will explain to the Captain when he wakes up."

“That’s good, that’s good”

Yafuso breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something, but the Silver Queen's face changed and then she disappeared into the captain's room.

However, in just a blink of an eye, everyone, including Yafusuo and Wuying in the lower cabin, heard the alarm bell being sounded.

"What happened?" Yun Ji, who was studying with the magic mirror in the conference room, asked immediately.

“We’re in trouble”

As the magic mirror spoke, the wall also showed the situation in the distance. It was a huge, terrifying figure swimming towards them quickly!
"What is that?!" Yun Ji asked in horror.

Sea Monster

The magic mirror said, "Sea Monster Cetus, no no no! That's not Cetus! Cetus is not that slim!"

"Silver Queen's Sea"

"The fog can't stop him!"

The Magic Mirror responded by sending a light signal to the Honest Man, which was not far away. The Silver Queen immediately began to swing her dragonfly fins at top speed, hastening her escape from the area.

However, even though the Valkyrie had nine pairs of dragonfly fins transplanted, it was still as slow as crawling when facing the sea monster Cetus.

"Boom—crash!"

Amidst a deafening roar, a huge figure leaped out from the water, easily blocked the two boats, and crashed into the sea right in front of them.

"Quick! Use the bridle! Use the bridle as a cannonball! That might work!"

The sound of the magic mirror resounded throughout the ship, and the Valkyrie, under the control of the Silver Queen, turned its hull sideways and aimed its side cannons at the giant sea creature that was getting closer and closer.

At the same time, Yun Ji also got temporary permission to run into the captain's bedroom. She just took a quick glance at the black crystal coffin, then rushed into the stair compartment. Under the guidance of the magic mirror, she took away the only 13 bridles on the ship and sent them to the gun deck as quickly as possible.

Before she left the gun deck, the huge sea creature revealed its body, which was much larger than the Swallow Island. It was almost a continuous island.

"What on earth is that?" Gerta asked in fear.

"It's Cetus's child, probably, no! Definitely!"

In the mirror not far away, the magic mirror explained, "Certus is a sea monster who can't stand loneliness. She always seduces various sea beasts that she likes, and then gives birth to all kinds of strange and bizarre species.

These alien species are collectively known as the Cytus Disasters. Most of them are cruel and greedy. Even Poseidon was troubled by the troubles they caused from time to time.

"Can these bridles really stop it?" Yun Ji also ran onto the deck and asked at this time.

"I don't know either"

The magic mirror sighed, "The captain hasn't woken up yet, and we have no way to mobilize the power of the ship's center to hide our bodies. What's more, there is the Honest Man next to us, so all we can do is start a war." "We may only have one chance to fire," Shenba also said at this time.

"Indeed, we only have one chance to fire."

Before the Magic Mirror could finish his words, the huge figure suddenly sank into the water, and then appeared right under the Valkyrie with its bloody mouth wide open!

"Hula-!"

Before anyone could react, a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea surface, followed by a large, scary mouth. Before anyone could react, it swallowed the Valkyrie, the Honest Man, and even a large amount of sea water into its stomach!

"finished"

This thought popped up in everyone's mind, and they didn't even have the chance to fire!
"Boom!"

Before anyone could react, the two ships collided violently, and the huge sea rhino ram on the bow of the Valkyrie penetrated the waterline at the stern of the Honest Man without any hindrance and got stuck firmly inside!
"Drop anchor! Drop anchor! Drop anchor now!"

On the Valkyrie, Shen Ba Fuzhi shouted in a voice as if from a spiritual source, "Honest Man! Drop anchor! You drop anchor too!"

Upon receiving the warning, Whitebread, who was at the helm of the Silver Queen and the Honest Man, immediately began to drop anchor. Suddenly, a total of four bridles acting as anchors began to fall, lengthen, and grow larger.

But even so, the two boats were still swept into the stomach along the huge esophagus that looked like a cave, swept by the surging sea water.

"Wow!"

In the chaos, two boats covered in slime suddenly stopped.

"Don't light the boat lights!"

In the darkness, Yun Ji shouted, "Mr. Magic Mirror, we need light!"

"immediately!"

Before the magic mirror finished speaking, all the mirrors on the two ships began to reflect a red light that was not very strong, but was enough to illuminate the surroundings. This light came from the Vermillion Bird Stone in the cabin.

"Is anyone hurt?"

In the dim red light, Yun Ji shouted, "Honest Man! Are all your crew members here?"

"They're all here!"

On the Honest Man, which was tangled together by the collision, Kervik, whose head was bruised by the bump just now, shouted loudly, "No one is hurt!"

"Everyone return to the cabin!"

Yun Ji also urgently issued an order on behalf of the captain, "No open flames allowed, no moving around, everyone wait for orders!"

"Why can't there be open flames?" Shenba asked a question that puzzled everyone at this time.

"The 'Sea Hunting Guide' once recorded that a whale was stranded on Xinweng Island. A captain took possession of the whale's carcass to refine whale oil and, by the way, to see if there was any treasure in the whale's stomach."

In the dim light, Yun Ji said loudly, "That idiot held an oil lamp and went into the whale's stomach, and then there was a violent explosion."

After a brief pause, Yun Ji continued loudly, "A similar tragedy occurred in the Principality of Lika about 40 years ago. The ship that was bombed was a whaling ship, and the fire burned on the sea for a full 12 days before it was extinguished. Even that sea area was named the Lighthouse Sea Area because of the fire.

About 20 years ago, a whaling ship from the Frost Principality captured a whale and made a special attempt. When the open flame entered the whale's stomach, an explosion occurred again. So if you don't want to die, you must extinguish all open flames! "

"gollum"

Everyone swallowed their saliva. If this sea monster that could easily and completely swallow two ships also exploded, even if the monster would not be killed, their two ships would definitely be blown to pieces!

"What do we do now?"

On the deck of the Valkyrie, Yaphsso asked in horror, being eaten by a sea monster, and eating both the ship and the people, this was a horrible situation that she could not even dream of in her nightmares.

"I don't know," Yun Ji replied. This was the first time she encountered such a situation.

If only the captain would wake up.
This thought came to the minds of everyone on both boats.

"Silver Queen, did you see clearly just now?" the magic mirror asked at this time.

"It's a sea serpent, a huge sea serpent."

The Silver Queen replied in fear, "It's at least a nautical mile long. I saw its tail at the very edge of the mist as it swallowed us!"

After these words were spoken, everyone on the two ships fell silent. It wasn't a sea monster that swallowed the two ships, but they had no way to deal with it.

"Captain, Captain, are you still not awake?" Yafuso asked cautiously.

"Not yet," the magic mirror sighed.

"Just let me slit open the belly of this sea snake!"

As Shenba spoke, a huge sickle that was two meters long appeared in his hand.

"Shut up! You idiot!"

Yun Ji stood on tiptoe and hit her brother on the back of the head.

"We're probably stuck in the gullet of this half-blooded sea monster right now. Let's not even talk about whether the little toothpick in your hand can cut through its leather armor."

The magic mirror paused and continued, "Once it is stimulated, whether it rolls over, swallows a large amount of sea water, or squeezes us into its stomach, I'm afraid we will all die."

"So we just wait like this?" Shenba asked.

"Do you have any better ideas?" Gerta asked.

"I, I didn't." Shenba said weakly.

“I also have a question.”

Gerta glanced out the window at the smelly slime dripping from above his head and asked in confusion, "Why does this sea snake want to eat us?"

"I'm afraid it has something to do with the Fountain of Repentance."

The magic mirror explained, "Maybe it has something to do with our little princess Misty Shadow."

"I understand it's related to the Fountain of Repentance."

Yun Ji asked, "But what does this have to do with Wuying?"

"Whether it's a sirens, sea monsters, or even sea beasts, no one wants another Poseidon to appear in the ocean, but at the same time, they all dream of becoming Poseidon."

The magic mirror paused and said, "Whether it's the Fountain of Repentance or the Mist Shadow that was originally used to create a god, eating them will increase the chances of becoming a new Poseidon. Even if that doesn't happen, at least we don't have to worry about a new Poseidon appearing in this sea."

"So we will have such troubles in the future?" Yafuso asked with a frown.

"Unless you hide the fog shadow in the heart of the ship"

The magic mirror sighed, "But compared to all that, let's first think about how to escape from here."

"So does anyone of you have any good ideas?" asked Yafuso.

"no"

Everyone, including the Magic Mirror and the Silver Queen, gave a despairing answer in unison.
