Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 326 Survivors
"Prince... this... ah..."
Hearing Xu Zun's question, Shen Xingran sighed continuously.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Xu Zun urged, "This place could be filled with poisonous gas again at any time. Tell me quickly, is the prince here?"
"No...no..." Shen Xingran stammered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...he's missing!"
"What? Well, that's nonsense!" Xu Zun said, "If you weren't missing, why would I bring so many people to look for you?
"Tell me quickly, what happened to you?"
"We...we..." Shen Xingran lowered his head and said, "We were attacked by a sea monster. His Royal Highness's ship sank. I'm afraid...I'm afraid...it's very dangerous..."
"..."Xu Zun was speechless and couldn't respond for a moment.
"What?" Huo Anu was surprised. "Are you kidding? Where did the mermaid come from? Are there monsters in the sea?"
"Yes, yes!" Shen Xingran said affirmatively, "The sea monster was huge and pitch black. None of our warships were its match. Our Tianfu warship was also destroyed by it!"
At this time, all the people in the hall were evacuating, and the band and dancers all gathered around Shen Xingran.
"this……"
Only then did Shen Xingran realize that he might be the only guard of the prince at present. These people were leaderless and were obviously waiting for his instructions.
"Okay!" Seeing this, Xu Zun asked again, "Are you sure... the prince is not here?"
"Yes!" Shen Xingran nodded vigorously.
"Okay," Xu Zun said to everyone, "Everyone, get ready and leave here first! Um...that...that... "
Having said that, Xu Zun turned his gaze to the Crown Princess in the distance.
But the Crown Princess was still lying on the cold ground, looking distraught and like a hollow shell.
"Oh..." Shen Xingran realized the Crown Princess's problem and hurriedly said to a dancer in a red robe, "Yingying, go and help the Crown Princess!"
"Oh, yes..." The dancer in red hurriedly ran towards the Crown Princess with several other dancers and helped her up.
"Let's go!" Xu Zun said, "Let's get back to the boat first!"
Just like that, everyone in the hall packed up their personal belongings and started moving.
Although the ship docked at the pier can no longer sail far, it can still carry these people out without any problem.
Xu Zun silently counted and found that there were about sixty or seventy people including everyone.
Originally, the Crazy Knife Witch suggested going to the kitchen to bring some things, but Xu Zun did not agree.
There were sufficient supplies on their warships to support these people, so they could no longer take the risk of transporting supplies.
Sure enough, as everyone paddled out along the waterway, they could see the oil slick on the water surface cracking.
It is estimated that it won’t be long before the poisonous gas under the water will be released again.
As everyone was paddling outward, they also experienced a wonder that they had never seen in their lives.
Since there was no oil spill in the far distance of the waterway, as they rowed further and further away, the poisonous gas gradually invaded, and in the blink of an eye, everyone saw the brand new attic with red lanterns hanging on it again.
However, as everyone caught their breath, the attics suddenly turned into ruins, with only broken walls and rotten wood left.
Just like that, as the two scenes switched back and forth, everyone finally paddled out of the waterway and arrived at the open sea.
Instead of dissipating, the thick fog became even thicker. However, as the sky grew brighter, the visibility felt much better than last night.
When they passed the entrance of the waterway, Xu Zun could see clearly that the huge Tianfu warship was indeed tilted on the coast.
But there were many eye-catching and spectacular cracks on the side of the giant ship, as if it had suffered a fierce attack!
It is really hard to imagine that such a huge warship should be the overlord of the ocean. What could have caused the Tianfu warship to be so damaged...
When everyone passed by the Tianfu giant warship, the warriors were all stunned. They had never seen such a huge warship.
"The boat..." Xu Zun heard the dancing beauties talking behind him, "We have a lot of stuff on the boat! My powder and ambergris, and several sets of dance costumes..."
"Yes," said the other, "my sachet and my silver bag are up there! Can you please go up and get them?"
"Alright," Shen Xingran turned around and said, "Those are all external things. There is no guarantee that the mist will be fine. It is more important to save your life!"
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun whispered in Shen Xingran's ear, "The Tianfu ship seems to have been attacked. What happened? Why are you here?"
"It's like this," Shen Xingran knew the secret and answered in a low voice, "After the East China Sea Mission was attacked by the sea monster, only this Tianfu giant ship survived, but it was also seriously injured and damaged.
“Then we got lost at sea and somehow ended up here!
"Maybe the ship ran aground because it was too deep in the water! Then..." Shen Xingran tried to recall, "We couldn't move, so we couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so we rowed a small boat into the island, but after we got in, that's what happened..."
"Where did you encounter the Siren attack ?" Xu Zun asked, "When did you encounter it?"
"Three months ago," Shen Xingran replied, "on the way to the Banshee Kingdom after the delegation visited the Thousand Lions Kingdom."
"Are you kidding?" Xu Zun was surprised, "The Banshee Country is east of the East China Sea, and here is south of the East China Sea. The distance between the two places is at least ten days!
"Brother Shen, you are not talking nonsense, are you?" Xu Zun asked, "The prince is missing, why are you here instead of looking for him?"
"I told you," Shen Xingran explained, "We are lost! After being attacked by the Siren, of course we wanted to look for the prince, but somehow we went off course!
"Oh, right," he said , "I am only a captain. Everyone on the ship is a senior official. The general of the cavalry is also here. It is not my turn to command at all!"
"Then..." Xu Zun looked around and asked, "Where are those people? Don't tell me you are the only one left!"
"I... Tsk tsk..." Shen Xingran pressed his temple hard and tried to recall, "Why do I remember that they all entered the island? I remember seeing them. They seemed to... go gambling, right?"
"How many people are there approximately?" Xu Zun asked.
"More than a hundred!"
Shen Xingran answered, and at the same time he discovered a problem. Among the generals, soldiers and court officials on the ship, he was the only one left!
I don’t know, is this what you call luck?
"Because..." Who knew that while the two of them were discussing, the crazy knife witch next to them interrupted and said, "You are the only one who went on stage to fight. Although you lose every time, at least you saved your life!"
"Ah?" Shen Xingran asked hurriedly, "Then... where are my companions? Where are those court officials?"
“All…” The Mad Knife Witch shook her head. “They couldn’t win in the competition, and couldn’t get women, so they could only indulge in gambling. In the end… they died in internal fighting…”
"Ah?" Shen Xingran was shocked. "All...all dead? Where's the General of Cavalry? He too..."
"Yes," the Crazy Knife Witch sighed, "Driven by desire, what's the difference between noble and humble? That general gambled the most and ended up gambling his life away with someone else..."
