Chapter 609: Deep Sea Behemoth
The board of directors had been in session for a full afternoon, and then they dispersed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The ambitions of the enemy, but wave after wave.
In the afternoon of the same day, the run on Chang'an City spread to the other eight royal cities through various channels. All of a sudden, the Four Seas Money Village was in an emergency.
Meng Zhida was like a firefighting captain, running around the major royal cities. Bai Hua and others also shot one by one, went to the platforms of the major royal cities to clarify the rumors on the spot.
In this way, the turmoil can be regarded as a slight relief.
But if you want to completely calm down, it will obviously not be so easy. The herd mentality of players is too terrifying, and it is better to believe it than to believe it.
A large amount of money was transferred from the coffers to cope with the run.
The next day, the "Daily Express" published a special report, in response to the rumors spread by the "Chang'an Evening News" and other media, and hit back one by one.
The mountain of gold coins in the vault of Shanhai City is undoubtedly the most powerful counterattack.
Even so, there are still those who will be skeptical. Even if you don't withdraw money anymore, players who go to the Four Seas Money Bank to deposit money will be greatly weakened.
At the entrance of the money village, there was an endless stream, and it suddenly became a cold door. Sihai Money has suffered the biggest setback since its establishment.
If it is not dealt with in time, I am afraid that the loss will be even more severe.
The enemy's purpose is gradually becoming clearer. They know very well that these small means alone cannot completely collapse the Four Seas Money Bank.
Its real purpose is to frantically seize market share while cracking down on money banks all over the world.
When the crisis broke out in Sihai Bank, Huitong Bank launched various preferential activities one after another, absorbing a large number of wavering players.
All of a sudden, Huitong Money Bank's momentum soared.
Bai Hua and others will naturally not give up. It's just that all counterattacks can only be implemented after the matter is investigated.
The smell of gunpowder in the two major money houses is getting stronger and stronger.
************
March 3, North Bay.
After several days of sailing, the camouflage fleet led by Ouyang Shuo successfully arrived in the hinterland of the coastal area of Annan. During this period, although they encountered several waves of Annam's warships, they were all fooled.
Ouyang Shuo's banner was naturally frustrated on the front line and had to retreat to rest. It is inevitable that they will be ridiculed by those warlike sailors.
"Junhou, not far ahead, is the location of the island marked on the map." The speaker was a middle-aged navigator named Zhang Chenghai, a senior navigator recruited by Zheng He from Quanzhou.
As far as the eye can see, I can only see the blue waves for thousands of miles, as vast as a sea of smoke, with occasional clouds and mist transpiring, ethereal ups and downs.
The only thing I saw was that there were no islands.
Since the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" broke through again and practiced to the tenth layer, Ouyang Shuo's vision, hearing and other senses have been greatly enhanced, and they can be clearly seen from miles away.
What's more, this is a vast sea, and if there are really islands, it is impossible not to see them.
"Did you go in the wrong direction?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"No, it won't." Zhang Chenghai's tone was firm.
Ouyang Shuo frowned, "Could it be that the treasure map is fake?" ”
If that's the case, it's a shame.
"Go ahead and go to the location marked on the map first." Ouyang Shuo is also full of resilience.
"No!"
In less than twenty minutes, the fleet had already arrived.
The further you go, the thicker the clouds become, churning up and down. 100 meters away, I couldn't see. The range of clouds and mist is also extremely wide, and there is no end in sight on the left and right sides, like a canopy.
In the face of such fog, the fleet was like ants.
"Is there such a strange place?" Ouyang Shuo muttered to himself.
"Although it is common to say that fog is sparse on the sea, such fog is rare. Judging from the subordinates, this fog did not rise temporarily, but seemed to have existed here for a long time. Zhang Chenghai took over.
As a senior navigator, Zhang Chenghai has traveled south and north, and he can be regarded as having seen all kinds of strange places. The fog in front of you is strange, unique, and daunting.
"Will it last forever?" Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up, "In this way, it really looks like a place to hide treasures." ”
Ouyang Shuo is also wondering, even if it is an unnamed island, with the proximity to the coast of Annan, the game progress has reached Gaia for three years, won't the players in Annan District take the lead?
The fog in front of him explained Ouyang Shuo's doubts very well. Only such a harsh environment will discourage the ship.
"What do you mean by that the island is hidden in the fog?" Zhang Chenghai asked uncertainly.
"Send two small boats and go into the fog to reconnoitre." Ouyang Shuo ordered.
"No!"
Soon, the two boats entered the fog and disappeared. About an hour later, long beyond the appointed time, the boat still did not turn back.
The fog in front of them suddenly became strange, and the eyes of the sailors already showed a trace of horror.
"Could it be that you have encountered a ghost fog?" Someone said cautiously.
In the nautical circle, there are rumors about ghost fog from time to time. It is said that once you encounter a ghost fog, after any ship enters, it will never come back, and it can be described as ten deaths.
It is precisely in this way that it has won the name of ghost fog.
Ouyang Shuo was unmoved.
In fact, with his astonishing senses, he was already perceptible to anomalies that others could not.
Just twenty minutes ago, he faintly heard a scream coming from the fog. The two small boats that went to investigate were afraid that they were already unlucky.
In the mist, there must be sea beasts.
Ouyang Shuo regretted a little that he didn't bring Xiaoqing. As the nemesis of the little Qinghai beast, what kind of sea beast can be presumptuous in front of it?!
"The whole team is on alert, the musket team is ready, and enter the fog in battle formation." Ouyang Shuo ordered again.
Even if it was really a dead place, Ouyang Shuo would have to break through.
"No!"
Ouyang Shuo's authority is unquestionable.
As soon as the military order is given, no matter what speculation the soldiers have, they will put it aside.
Ten warships, slowly sailing into the fog.
"Look, Prince!"
As soon as he entered the fog, Zhang Chenghai took the compass and hurriedly walked over with a solemn expression. I saw that the pointer on the compass was constantly shaking irregularly, and the exact direction could not be detected at all.
"Is the compass invalid?" Ouyang Shuo muttered to himself. According to his cognition, he naturally didn't believe in any ghost fog, and nine times out of ten, there was magnetic interference here, which caused the compass to fail.
This made Ouyang Shuo even more convinced that there must be islands in the mist.
"Don't worry about the direction, keep going." Ouyang Shuo said.
"Understood!"
The fleet sailed all the way forward, completely into the fog. There was a vast fog before and after, and the compass was invalid, and it was completely impossible to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
And the more you go inside, the less visibility you have.
The same battleship, bow and stern, could not be seen.
"Light the beacon and think it's the guide." Ouyang Shuo ordered.
In an instant, the bright yellow lights lit up one after another, illuminating the surrounding fog. The so-called navigation light is a micro-small mobile lighthouse transformed by the No. 7 Research Institute according to the navigation lighthouse that Ouyang Shuo had obtained before.
In the mist, it is the most miraculous.
In addition to this, Ouyang Shuo's amazing intuition came into play again. He held the Red Night Sword and pointed straight ahead. What the Chixiao Sword refers to is the direction in which the fleet is sailing.
The combination of the two made the fleet magically in the fog without losing its way.
It took half an hour to sail all the way.
"Junhou, there is a situation!" Chen Dameng, the captain of the personal guard, ran over, "On the surface of the water ahead, the wreckage of the previous two small boats was found. ”
"Stay on your guard and be ready to fight." Ouyang Shuo was shocked.
"No!"
"Bang !!"
At that moment, there was a crash from the bottom of the boat.
The huge impact made the crew sway from side to side, and only Ouyang Shuo did not move.
"Whoa!!"
With a huge splash of water, five or six waist-thick soft giant feet rose above the sea, like a big snake, each of which was covered with two rows of huge suckers.
"Octopus monsters?"
Ouyang Shuo's eyes were cold, his body was crowded, and the Chixiao Sword slashed down in the air.
"Poof!"
A huge giant foot was actually cut into two pieces by the Chixiao Sword and fell on the deck, still writhing.
After the injury, the octopus became more and more frenzied, dancing with huge wrists and feet, flapping everywhere. Every now and then, the crew is swept into the water and disappears.
"Shoot!"
The musketeers finally came to their senses.
It's a pity that at this time, the front sight really didn't dare to compliment, and in the face of the flexible octopus brachiopod, a volley came down and only hit twice.
Captain Musket, ashamed.
I never thought that this move annoyed the octopus monster even more.
The two longest wrists and feet, swept at the same time, and staggered the musketeers. Those who are slightly worse in health are even more under this impact, directly vomiting blood, and their internal organs are displaced.
"Kill!"
The personal guards led by Chen Dameng caught up. Although he is not as brave as Ouyang Shuo, he is also a general, and with the cooperation of his personal guards, he swung his big knife again and again, cutting off a wrist and foot.
On the other side, Ouyang Shuo gained momentum and pursued with victory, and on the side of his body, he dodged a wrist and foot sweep, and the Chixiao Sword followed closely, and it was another slash.
The Chixiao sword sharpens iron like clay, not to mention this flesh and blood.
"Bump!"
Another wrist and foot, slaughtered.
The ferocious octopus monster, which had lost three wrists and feet in front of him, finally came to his senses and knew that the ship in front of him was not something it could bully at will, so it could only get back to the sea in disgrace.
As for the severed wrists and feet, they can still grow next time.
The whole battle, less than ten minutes before and after, can be described as thrilling.
Ouyang Shuo's extremely strong force once again frightened the soldiers. Speaking of which, it has long been rumored in the army that the prince is like a god of war. The sailors and soldiers, but they have never had the opportunity to see them.
Today, I finally got what I wanted.
"The prince is mighty!"
When the battle was just now, Zhang Chenghai was so frightened that he hid in the cabin. At this time, he ran over and said hello to Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo didn't care, everyone has their own strengths, Zhang Chenghai is a navigator, navigation is his strength, and he is cowardly on the battlefield, so he doesn't need to be too harsh.
"Pack up and move on." Ouyang Shuo ordered.
"No!"
