Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 333: Dragon?
"No, absolutely not!" Xiao Zhennan said confidently in the captain's room at the bow, "We have been traveling to the East China Sea for more than ten years and have never heard of any sea monsters!"
"Yes," Han Feier agreed, "The Banshee Country is known as the overseas martial arts country, attracting many Central Plains martial artists to learn martial arts. There has never been any news of anyone encountering a sea monster."
"Could it be..." Navy Officer Wu Yubao interrupted, "Maybe it was just a storm, and because of some unknown situation, they mistook it for a sea monster?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Xingran.
"No... Impossible," Shen Xingran said confidently, "There is definitely something in the sea, and it's huge!"
"Then..." Xiao Zhennan asked, "Can you describe it to us? What does it look like? Could it be a whale?"
whale?
Xu Zun was surprised. He didn't expect that Daxuan already had the name "whale".
"No," Shen Xingran said with certainty, "That thing is much bigger than a whale. It looks like the entire sea surface is covered with it. A slight collision would capsize the warship!"
"The entire sea surface is covered with them. I still don't understand," Xiao Zhennan asked, "Sirens must have a certain appearance, right?"
"Hmm... Tsk tsk..." Shen Xingran hesitated, feeling everyone's gaze, he said with a sense of uneasiness, "When the Tianfu ship lost control and we were drifting on the sea, the soldiers were all talking about the appearance of the Siren!
"That thing was so huge that we were all just looking at it through a tube. Some people said that the Kraken looked like a giant squid because some people saw the sea water turn black, just like the ink spit out by the squid!
"But," Shen Xingran said, "some people have expressed different opinions, saying that if it is a giant squid, then at least tentacles should be seen, but we don't see them.
"In addition, there is another saying that has been circulating in the army," he hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Some people believe that the Siren is a huge water dragon!!!"
What!?
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown, and their hearts trembled slightly.
"Water dragon?" Xiao Zhennan pondered for a long time and smiled bitterly, "How can there be dragons in this world?"
"Some people saw the water dragon raising its head," Shen Xingran said excitedly, "and some people saw the dragon's claws, saying that our warship was torn apart by the dragon's claws!
"Also...some people say that the black thing on the sea is just a scale of a water dragon!"
Shen Xingran spoke not only excitedly, but also nervously, and it was obvious that he was emotionally unstable.
Xu Zun understood that Shen Xingran first encountered a huge change at sea, and then was consumed by desire on Gufeng Island. Naturally, his mental state could not recover so quickly.
However, everyone was extremely anxious and naturally could not understand. They just felt that Shen Xingran's words were not convincing.
Before this, Xu Zun had sent Huo Anu and others to question the dancers and musicians, and their testimonies were the same as those of the Crown Princess, proving that Shen Xingran was not talking nonsense.
However, the dancers, musicians and the Crown Princess were all in the cabin at the time and did not see the Siren with their own eyes.
"Brother Shen," Xu Zun advised, "Don't worry, take a break for now, and then we can make a long-term plan!"
"Sir..." Unexpectedly, Wu Yubao said worriedly, "How can we make a long-term plan for this matter? If there really is a sea monster , then wouldn't our trip be very dangerous?"
Xu Zun ignored him and did not blame him. After all, he was just a sailor and naturally did not want to put himself in danger.
"Captain Shen," Xiao Zhennan asked Shen Xingran an important question again, "You only said that the accident took place in the southeastern waters of the Banshee Country, then... do you know the exact location?"
"No... I don't know!" Shen Xingran said, "I am only responsible for the prince's safety. I know nothing about the ship's affairs!"
"Oh..." Wu Yubao seemed relieved and quickly lowered his head without saying anything.
"But..." Xiao Zhennan pointed at the sea map and said, "Since you came from the Thousand Lions Country, I can roughly estimate the area of the sea. It shouldn't be difficult to find it."
"..."Wu Yubao suddenly grinned.
"Okay," Xu Zun said, "In that case, let's rush to the sea area where the incident occurred first, and then search and inquire from the surrounding islands!"
Xu Zun had made up his mind, and no one criticized him anymore.
Next, Xu Zun sent someone to take Shen Xingran to the cabin and then dismissed the guards and Wu Yubao.
As a result, only Huo Anu, Zhao Yu, and Xiao Zhennan and his wife were left in the house.
"My Lord," Zhao Yu said angrily, "It's a pity that I didn't go to the island with you, otherwise I could have experienced the evil style of the top ten masters of Daxuan!"
" Old Zhao," Huo Anu scolded, "So many people on the island were indirectly killed by Wang Dian. This man is the culprit. What kind of shitty style is this?"
"Our female hero..." Xiao Zhennan had already learned about the situation on the island and asked immediately, "Isn't she also no match for Wang Dian?"
Naturally, Xiao Zhennan's words did not get a response from Xu Zun, because Xu Zun was still thinking about the prince's affairs.
"I heard," Zhao Yu, who is a man of the martial arts world, was still more interested in the martial arts world. "A year ago, Wang Dian lost to his junior brother Ding Qiming, and he became depressed and hid from the martial arts world. I can't believe he ended up on this remote island!"
Xu Zun heard from Zhao Yu that Ding Qiming was also one of the top ten masters of Daxuan. He and Wang Dian were both disciples of Master Bi Hai of Bi Hai Palace in Shuzhou.
"I have to say," Han Feier said, "Wang Dian is really amazing. This time it really opened my eyes. Wang Dian's moves are brilliant and restrained. They seem simple and unpretentious, but in fact they are overwhelming. I have never seen anything like this in my life!"
"Yes," the always arrogant Huo Anu admitted, "This is under the premise that he did not use the Xuanyuan Ancient Sword. If he held the sword, I don't know..."
"Miss Huo," Zhao Yu asked hurriedly, "Does his sword really weigh more than 80 kilograms?"
Huo Anu nodded.
Zhao Yu wanted to say something else, but when he saw Xu Zun's serious expression, he quickly stopped talking.
"Sir," Han Feier suddenly said to Xu Zun, "I found a small problem. I wonder if you have noticed it?"
"Oh?" Xu Zun asked in surprise, "What's the problem?"
"Crown Princess... um..." Han Fei'er said, "Is there no maid around the Crown Princess?"
Why?
After hearing this, Xu Zun was even more surprised. He had felt that something was wrong with the Crown Princess before, but he had never thought of this.
Yes, the Crown Princess has a noble status, how could she not have maids serving her?
Before, Xu Zun had never asked about this matter in detail.
"Did he..." Huo Anu guessed, "die on Ancient Wind Island?"
"Didn't they say," Han Fei'er said, "that all the women survived? Why, I always feel... something is weird."
Xu Zun also agreed with Han Feier's words. Perhaps the impact of the lemon toxin on them has not been completely eliminated?
