"Evil Gate, Evil Gate!"

Some of the soldiers muttered in a low voice, this blackened seawater, coupled with the cold wind, is really a little heart-wrenching.

Suddenly, the speed of the ship slowed down.

"We're on the Ghost Reef ahead, keep sailing! When you're close to the shore, get off the boat." Who made you slow down?" Bai Xiaowen said.

Several pro-soldiers at the helm rushed over and said profusely, "Real person, it's not good, the ship ...... The boat won't move!"

"Can't you turn it on?" Bai Xiaowen repeated.

"Yes, after entering the black sea area, no matter how hard we tried, the speed of the boat kept decreasing, and even when the rudder turned, it became a lot more jerky, this feeling...... It's like a water ghost is dragging under the boat, not letting it go forward!" said one of the soldiers nervously.

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Water ghosts, even if there are water ghosts, if we don't go to the ghost reef, it proves that ghosts are afraid of people, how can anyone be afraid of ghosts!"

Li Shuyi, who had been observing the sea, beckoned: "Xiaowen, it's not about the soldiers, it's the sea water problem." ”

Bai Xiaowen walked over. Li Shuyi picked up a long rod from the side, plunged into the black seawater, and stirred vigorously.

This agitation suddenly made Bai Xiaowen discover that something was wrong. Entering the water with a long rod and stirring the waves should be a very light action, and children of several years old can do it. However, when Li Shuyi stirred the seawater, she felt a little difficult.

Li Shuyi lifted the end of the long rod, a simple action, but it was like carrying a heavy object. With Li Shuyi's strength value, this situation is really unbelievable.

Crash!

A large mess of seaweed, intertwined and entwined with long poles, was dragged out of the sea by Li Shuyi.

This mass of seagrass is only the tip of the iceberg, most of it is still under the surface of the sea, and it is even possible that the seagrass in the entire sea area is coiled and grows in this way, affecting the whole body. No wonder with Li Shuyi's strength value, it is so difficult to drag seaweed.

Li Shuyi pulled back the long pole, and a soldier next to her pulled out a waist knife, and cut a small section of seagrass with force, ready to take it to Bai Xiaowen.

The soldier had just touched the seaweed, and suddenly his face changed, and he threw the seaweed on the deck along with his waist knife: "This is not seaweed, this ...... It's a woman's hair!"

"Myths confuse the public!"

Bai Xiaowen snorted, squatted down to observe the small piece of seaweed, and then reached out to touch it.

In terms of appearance and touch, this seaweed is indeed very similar to a woman's hair, both black and slender, and it has the illusion of being soft and tough to the touch.

A wisp of flame erupted from Bai Xiaowen's fingertips, burning the seaweed to ashes.

"I understand that the reason why this sea looks black is because it is overgrown with this seagrass,"

Bai Xiaowen stood up and said, "The closer we get to the shallow sea of the ghost reef, the more lush the seaweed becomes, so we can't continue to drive the boat forward, otherwise the bottom of the boat will be entangled in the seaweed, and if the paddle wheel is blocked, we will only be trapped here, and there will be no way to go back." ”

"So what to do now. Li Shuyi asked.

"Get out of the dinghy. The dinghy has a shallow draft, and the resistance of the seagrass will not be so strong, so we paddle slowly. ”

Bai Xiaowen secretly thought that Zhang Ting's group of pro-soldiers were probably not stopped by seagrass because they took a small boat.

The two boats carried a small number of dinghys, and Zhang Ting and others took away two dinghies, and the remaining three dinghys could only carry more than a dozen people.

Bai Xiaowen thought about it for a while, and only brought four personal soldiers, including him and Li Shuyi, a total of six people. Two people take a dinghy and paddle forward.

The reason why he didn't bring more manpower was because Bai Xiaowen considered saving people. Zhang Ting and the others have not returned for a long time, they must have encountered danger, and this trip must not only collect medicine, but also bring Zhang Ting and others back. In the unlikely event that the two dinghies they were riding in sank, the empty seats in the three dinghys could still carry passengers.

Moreover, bringing a few fewer pro-soldiers will not have much impact on this mission of picking devil artemisia.

The three dinghys slowly approached the Ghost Reef.

As Bai Xiaowen speculated, it was also close to the ghost reef, and the seagrass in the shape of black hair became more lush. The sun has turned a miserable white, and the light shining down does not make people feel warm, but a little cold.

The atmosphere was very oppressive, and only the sound of the water with long oars paddling could be heard.

"Someone! someone!" suddenly one of the soldiers whispered excitedly.

It was on the shore of the ghost reef, and a personal soldier wearing the uniform of the Ming army was lying on his back, unconscious. Bai Xiaowen suddenly recognized that this person was one of Yu Dayou's personal soldiers who followed Zhang Ting to collect medicine.

The three dinghys landed, and the two soldiers hurried over, slapping and beating, trying to wake up the comrade.

Bai Xiaowen quietly lost an insight. Behind the soldier's name board, he could see a man named "Drowning in a Coma".

The simple first-aid knowledge learned in the classroom came in handy, Bai Xiaowen commanded two personal soldiers to clean up the sludge and seaweed between the drowning man's mouth and nose, and then hung upside down to drain the stagnant water in his chest and abdomen.

From the mouth of the drowning soldier, Bai Xiaowen learned about the route of Zhang Ting and others. Regarding the information on the ghost reef, the drowning soldier is also incomplete.

Bai Xiaowen took the drowning pro-soldiers, with him as a guide, and followed the route of Zhang Ting and his party, and found several pro-soldiers who fell to the ground along the way. However, two of the pro-soldiers were dead, and they both had blue-black fingerprints on their throats.

"They strangled themselves. ”

Bai Xiaowen made a judgment from the posture and angle of the fingerprints of the dead soldiers.

A few soldiers who survived by luck still have lingering palpitations when they talk about the situation on Ghost Reef.

"Real person, I waited on the ghost reef, and I only saw two monsters. One of them is a zombie with immense strength and a skin like gold and iron, which is quite difficult to kill. It's just a zombie, we follow the martial arts that the master will learn, and we can cook after all. It's just another kind of monster, we're really helpless, it's a ghost!"

"These ghosts are as transparent as if our knives were slashing through the air, and they didn't do anything at all......

Bai Xiaowen said: "If there are no physical ghosts, you can't hurt them, they shouldn't be able to hurt you either." ”

"No, these ghosts can only do one trick, and that is to pounce on the bodies of the living! After I was pounced on by the ghosts, I immediately felt a splitting headache, and my eyes were full of phantom visions......

Bai Xiaowen nodded, roughly understanding the danger of the ghost reef.

It's very unfriendly for the kitchen knife team. There are zombies with extremely high armor, and there are also nihilistic ghosts, all of which are very restrained by the physical output type of awakened people.

It is very unfortunate that Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi happen to be among them.

Needless to say, Li Shuyi is a typical kitchen knife stream DPS. Although Bai Xiaowen is a spiritual specialty type, he is a summoner, and most of the summoned creatures are physical attacks......

"I also have a magic output type creature...... Bai Xiaowen thought of the skeleton mage, "it's time to strengthen the skeleton mage." ”
