Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 92 Good Morning Breaking the Shell
It must be Captain Senfa of the Flamingo merchant ship.
Cheng Lang made some confident guesses before removing the glass bottle from Xin Weng's neck.

Unexpectedly, this letter came from Mr. Wilton of Dragonfly Island. The content of the letter was extremely simple. He said that the war on Dragonfly Island was over and hoped that Tinisha and others would not worry. At the same time, he once again apologized for arranging the smuggling of Tinisha's band and asked Cheng Lang to take care of them.

It's questionable whether I'm the captain now.
Cheng Lang muttered to himself, while at the same time wondering what went wrong.

But after thinking about it, the only guess that he felt was more likely was also extremely absurd - could he have turned into a dark elf? He knew that dark elves could not gain the recognition of the ship's heart.

If this was the reason, then he really had no place to cry. He even found a reasonable explanation for it himself while tossing and turning last night:
The Fountain of Repentance made his physique better, but at the same time it also made him more like a dark elf. Now that his body has stabilized, the characteristics of a dark elf have become more obvious, so Chuan Xin no longer approves of himself?

That should be it, right? But how should I solve this problem? I can't just pretend to be the captain forever, right? Cheng Lang couldn't help but feel troubled.

"Good morning, dear Captain."

At this moment, the voice of the magic mirror came from the mirror, "A new day has begun. Should we continue our journey?"

"cough cough"

Cheng Lang cleared his throat. "It's rare to escape danger. Besides, everyone drank too much yesterday, and the gorillas haven't hatched yet, so let's wait another day."

"Everything is at your command"

The magic mirror said this respectfully, and the pale green figure disappeared from the mirror. At the same time, Cheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

If we were to ask who is the most difficult person to deal with on this ship, the first one would definitely be this flattering and loyal magic mirror. He is indeed loyal enough, but he is only loyal to the captain of this ship.

If he really was no longer the captain, this mirror might immediately find a way to "establish a new king."

Or to put it more bluntly, Cheng Lang, who only wants to be a good person and doesn't even want to be a pirate, is definitely not the first choice of captain in the magic mirror's mind.

That guy Magic Mirror must want Shenba, who has no brains and only wants to plunder, to be the captain.

Cheng Lang secretly complained as he left the bedroom. He strolled around the lower cabin first, and when he saw that the "fish eggs" showed no signs of hatching, he walked up the stairs to the forecastle.

Apart from the animal pens, kitchen, several warehouses and rooms for the gorillas to temporarily rest, the remaining rooms in the forecastle have been turned into Gerta's planting room.

In these rooms, wooden boxes filled with mud are densely packed on the shelves. There is even a special room filled with the essence of sea monster shit collected by Gerta himself.

Putting aside whether these things smell good or not, their fertility far exceeds that of diluted elven healing potions.

"Good morning, Captain."

Gerta, who was busy preparing the "fisherman's manure" here, greeted me in a simple and warm manner.

"morning"

Cheng Lang greeted the other party enthusiastically and then walked into the kitchen.

At this time, the diligent little cook Yafuso was busy making soy milk for everyone. She was still wearing the spider ring on her left thumb.

Seeing Cheng Lang come in, the little girl bared her teeth, obviously still holding a grudge. But even so, she still poured Cheng Lang a large cup of hot soy milk and wrinkled her nose and said, "Good morning, Captain."

"morning"

Cheng Lang took the cup of soy milk and continued to wander on the boat.

"Good morning, Captain."

When he walked onto the open deck at the bow, the Silver Queen also floated out of the cabin, lifting her skirt and saluting as politely as ever.

"morning"

Cheng Lang responded with a serious gesture, taking off his hat, "Has Wuying not hatched yet?"

"Not awake yet"

The Silver Queen replied, "But we can already communicate with her. She will probably be able to break out of her shell soon."

“This is great news”

Cheng Lang smiled and said, "When she hatches, we must notify everyone in advance."

"I will." The Silver Queen lifted her skirt again, and then disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Captain, morning!"

The Silver Queen had just disappeared, and Shenba also greeted her warmly. He was wiping the bow statue.

Thanks to the strict education of his elder sister who was like a mother to him, this crybaby only drank a large glass of fruit wine last night and was already sober by now.

"morning"

Cheng Lang also responded, and then he saw Yun Ji circling down from the top of the mast with a pair of black wings.

"Good morning, Captain." Yun Ji also took the initiative to greet him while folding her wings.

"Good morning," Cheng Lang also responded.

"When do we set off?" Yun Ji asked. "The weather is very good now, and the visibility is very high."

"Wait a little longer"

Cheng Lang replied, "Give the mixed-blood sailors a day off. Also, Mist Shadow might be about to hatch. Let's wait for her and the other vine goblins to hatch before setting off. This is the Sea of ​​Despair, so we'd better be cautious."

"Alright"

Yun Ji was used to this. Everyone on the ship knew that their captain, apart from being extremely generous, was somewhat unmotivated.

Having said that, whether it is the sailors on the Valkyrie or the sailors on the Honest Man, their loyalty to the captain is unquestionable.

I just wonder if they knew that their captain had lost contact with the heart of the ship.
As Cheng Lang tried hard to hide his uneasiness, more and more sailors woke up from their hangovers.

It was a rare opportunity to have no schedule and no need to rush. Although all crew members except the goblins were not allowed to drink, everyone was still very happy to have some free time to rest.

As the Silver Queen played the cheerful music on the piano, the sailors of the two boats tied their clothes with ropes and threw them into the blue sea. They sang the songs they learned from the merman while pulling the ropes, using the sea water to wash away the remaining fishy smell.

That evening, the masts and cables of the two ships were hung with pieces of clothes that had been washed clean with precious fresh water. These sailors, who were full of hope and yearning for life or the life of monsters, also worked together to clean the Honest Man thoroughly.

As night fell, the sailors once again jumped over the still-tied gangways of the ship and lined up to take a hot bath in the Valkyrie's public bathroom. After dinner, they changed into dry clothes and returned to their ship.

"Are you worried about something?" Yun Ji, who came to the Valkyrie's office on her own initiative, asked Cheng Lang.

"It's okay. I'm just still guessing who is in the Eternal Coffin."

"Captain, respected captain."

Before Cheng Lang could finish his words, the magic mirror appeared and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt your chat, but Wuying is about to hatch."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lang and Yun Ji looked at each other, and they ran out of the office at the same time.

"Perhaps we will soon know who is in the Eternal Coffin." Yun Ji paused, "But my intuition tells me that you are not worried about this matter."

"Your intuition is wrong." Before Cheng Lang finished speaking, he had already grabbed a vine hanging from the mast and swung towards the bow.

Looking back in the direction of the office, Yun Ji also grabbed a vine and swung over.

By the time the two of them arrived at the bow's ventricle, one after the other, several cracks had appeared on the "snake skin fruit" that wrapped Wuying, and from time to time, one could hear Wuying groaning as he exerted force, as well as the sound of collisions.

Just at this moment, Shenba, Father Gerta and Yafuso also ran in from outside.

"Crack!" With a cracking sound, the "snake fruit" on the edge of the boat's center pool cracked open a larger gap. Immediately afterwards, two small hands stretched out from inside and began to exert force on both sides.

But everyone in the ship's heart just watched silently, neither helping nor daring to encourage. They all knew that at this moment, Wuying could only rely on himself.

"Chila!"

With a crisp tearing sound, the snake fruit was completely torn apart by Wuying.

But immediately afterwards, the first thing that came out of the eggshell was not the mist shadow, but a white snake in an undead state, less than two meters long.

Following closely behind, Wuying, covered in mucus, also stumbled out of the eggshell.

"Good morning everyone—"

As if she was still asleep, Wuying imitated her mother, the Silver Queen, with sleepy eyes, lifting her skirt slightly and kneeling to salute. Then she grabbed the white, undead neck with her little hands and threw it on her shoulders.

"Wuying, who is it?" Cheng Lang asked.

"it?"

Wuying shook the snake head still in his hand. Seeing Cheng Lang nod, he sat down with a plop, covered in slime, and explained, "It's a little bug I caught in the monster's stomach. It said it's willing to help me fight bad guys in the future."

At this point, the snake stuck out its tongue, and Wuying immediately added, "It asked me to say hello to everyone on her behalf. She said her name is Aiya! That crappy name is too long. From now on, your name will be Hiss. That's it, no objections allowed!"

As she spoke, Wuying shook the white snake in her hand and said, "She said her name is Hiss."

"Then let's call it hissing."

Cheng Lang grinned and said, "Welcome Hiss, yes, welcome Hiss to join the Valkyrie."

With him taking the lead, the others also expressed their welcome, although they had no idea where the ghost snake came from, and they didn't expect the little guy Wuying to be able to explain the other party's origins clearly.

"Mrs. Silver Queen, please take Wuying to take a good bath first."

Cheng Lang glanced at Wuying, who was sitting on the floor in a duck-like position, covered in slime but almost asleep, and said, "Then let her have a good rest. We can talk about other things after she wakes up."

"Alright"

Upon hearing this, the Silver Queen immediately picked up the slime-covered Misty Shadow and floated away from the ship's ventricle.

"Could that snake just now be the sea monster?" Yun Ji asked in a low voice.

"No"

It was the magic mirror that answered this question, "The snake has no trace of Cetus, but rather carries the scent of Misty Shadow, just like..."

"Like what?" Cheng Lang asked.

"It's like it's parasitic on Wuying's body," said the magic mirror worriedly.

"Those parasites?" Shenba guessed as if a flash of inspiration had occurred to him.

"If it is a parasite, will it cause harm to Wuying?" Yun Ji asked.

"Will not"

The Magic Mirror said confidently, "Just now, the Silver Queen said that she could sense the contract between the snake and Mist Shadow. The hissing will not harm Captain Mist Shadow. Gentlemen and ladies, Miss Tinissa and her band members are also about to hatch."

"Let's go and take a look!" Cheng Lang was the first to run to the lower cabin before he finished speaking.

Unlike when Wuying broke out of his shell, the noise when Tinisha and the others broke out of their shells was much more lively. If I had to describe it, it was like
It's like the live fish just bought from the seafood market struggling desperately after being put into a plastic bag.

Amidst the rustling sounds, the flesh membranes that wrapped around them were torn to pieces by their sharp nails, and then swung everywhere by their powerful tails, almost forcing Cheng Lang and others to hide in the adjacent cabin.

"Hahaha! We are reborn!" Soon everyone heard Tinisha's arrogant cheers.

"I think it is necessary to tell them where we fished them out from." Shenba said.

"You can try"

While Cheng Lang was encouraging Shenba, he also looked at the Qinwei fish people.

Their size has not changed much at this time, but the color of their long hair and tails has become much more gorgeous and beautiful.

Her breasts seem to be a bit bigger too.
Cheng Lang muttered secretly that these beautiful goldfish were wearing really cool clothes, which was really cheap for the pirate brothers and those mixed-race sailors.

"Hi! Captain! Hi! Hello everyone!"

Tinissa summoned a wave out of thin air to wrap around her beautiful zither tail, and in the process also washed off the slime all over her body.

"How do you feel?" Cheng Lang asked.

“It’s like being reborn!”

Tinissa proudly flicked her beautiful tail, "And we have one more string, so we can play more songs."

"That's right!"

Another harp-tailed fishman happily plucked the strings on his tail. "And the sound is much more pleasant than before."

"Yun Ji, take them to see those musical instruments." Cheng Lang said with a smile, "Just think of it as a gift of rebirth for them."

"Musical instrument? What instrument?" Tinisha immediately came over and asked.

“You’ll know soon.”

Cheng Lang said as he handed the letter he received after waking up to Tinisha, "Also, this is the letter I received during the day. The war on Dragonfly Island is over. Wilton hopes you won't worry. You can read the details yourself."

"Thank you, Captain!" Dinisha immediately took the letter.

"Come with me"

Yun Ji smiled and waved, and left the lower cabin with these curious and beautiful goldfish.

As if they had discussed it beforehand, just when Cheng Lang and the others were about to leave, the "snake skin fruit" that wrapped the vine goblins was heard tearing sounds one after another.

At the same time, Cheng Lang suddenly felt the throbbing of the heart of the ship.

"Going online?"

Cheng Lang was delighted and immediately stopped, turning around to look at the remaining "snake skin fruits" in the lower cabin.

Compared to the Mist Shadow and the Qintail Merman just now, it is much easier for these gorillas to break out of their shells and be reborn.

Without even waiting for anyone to react, they easily tore open the "eggshell" that wrapped them, and then each of them beat their chest and roared "ooh-oh-oh".

The changes in the appearance and body shape of these gorillas are not that big, and it can even be said that there is no change at all.

Although he couldn't see anything for the time being, Cheng Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, he finally restored the connection with the heart of the ship.

However, to his despair, when he tried again to take out the whip that served as the captain's token, he failed again!

Where's my whip? Am I still the captain? Cheng Lang finally panicked.
