Chapter 961: Bah! The monster is on the mast!

"Brother, you're not doing well! You're a martial artist at the Sixth Realm and can't even afford a new fur coat. If you get off the boat, come with me. I can dig hundreds of taels of silver in the mines every year..."

"Really? Brother, help me."

Everyone else was laughing.

The patrol was uneventful, and everyone was joking around and relaxing.

It was the first night out at sea, not far from Putian State and not yet in the deep sea, so everyone thought there wasn't much danger.

So, the atmosphere is very relaxed.

Liao Jiu did not intervene.

Someone looked up at the sea and pointed at a dark spot on the surface. "Hey, look? Isn't that an island over there?"

Liao Jiu looked over and it seemed so. They passed several small islands along the way. These islands were too small and uninhabited, and could only be used as a resting place for seabirds.

Riding the wind and the gale, it’s just a chance to take a break.

When Jiang Lianzhu and his wife set out, Jiang Lianzhu originally wanted to give Chengfeng and Jifeng an inflatable lifeboat each to carry on their backs.

They don't want to ride on the wind.

The lifeboat was several meters long and wide, and it was difficult for them to fly with it on their backs.

Later, Liao Jiu came up with a solution. He asked Lin's Trading Company to spend a large sum of money to take a batch of timber on the Hope.

What Liao Jiu had to do was to place a few pieces of wood on the sea surface every now and then when no one was paying attention.

Giving Chengfeng and the others guidance is to provide them with assistance in case of emergency.

If they encounter an island where they cannot reach and need to rest, they can take a nap on the wood on the sea.

He was just about to find an excuse to get rid of his accomplices and grab some wood from the warehouse and throw it into the sea, but when he discovered the small island, he didn't need to do that.

Let’s go into the deep sea first.

Suddenly, Liao Jiu sensed an unusual aura in front of the bow.

He stopped and waved his hand, and the several sixth-level warriors behind him immediately quieted down.

He whispered, "What's wrong, Boss?"

The temporary team leader, they called Liao Jiu the boss.

Someone else looked intently and said, "It seems like someone is doing something sneaky over there. Is there a fire? Let's go check it out..."

Liao Jiu shook his head.

He had already used his consciousness to see clearly who it was.

It's the hunchbacked old woman.

She was burning yellow paper. Even with the whistling sea breeze, she was able to light the yellow paper, but the flame flickered.

These people with special abilities are not in the patrol team. The warriors patrol, fight and do hard labor. These people are weird and no one knows what Knicks arranges them to do.

"It's that hunchbacked old woman. She is not our responsibility. Let's take a detour." Liao Jiu led the team and bypassed that area.

After Liao Jiu and his friends took a detour, the hunchbacked old woman turned around and looked at them.

I went back to burn paper.

Liao Jiu had a good hearing ability and he heard her mumbling something, but he couldn't tell what she was saying.

Like some kind of sacrifice?

As they walked further, the small team became active again.

Someone said, "This hunchbacked old woman seems to be burning paper. I heard that when offering sacrifices to the dead, they would go to the place where the person died and burn paper in the middle of the night to offer sacrifices to the deceased and send some incense and paper to the dead..."

"Could it be that this hunchbacked old woman had a relative who died at sea, so she's offering a memorial here?"

"Who knows! Could it be that a relative went missing on the Good Luck?"

When it comes to lucky numbers, everyone uses their guessing skills.

"Everyone on the Good Luck is most likely dead. Even if we go and find them, it's useless..."

"You said that if a large ship with a lot of people died, would it become a ghost ship? If so, don't find a ship full of ghosts. That would be scary."

"Even if we find a ship full of ghosts, we have to find them. Do you think they give us a bucket of pearls because we have too much money to spend? They give us money in exchange for our lives!"

"Finding a ship full of ghosts is good. I'm a righteous man, and I keep ghosts and gods away. But I'm afraid we'll find a nest of sea beasts. They'll capsize the Good Luck and eat all the people there. They'll evolve, and then if we run into them, we'll be eaten up too. We won't even turn over a bit, and will be digested whole, turning into a pool of blood!"

…

It was the dead of night, the sea breeze was howling, and the more we talked, the colder and thinner we felt.

I got goosebumps.

Suddenly someone looked up and screamed in fear, "Oh my god! What the hell is that?"

"Bah! The monster has climbed onto the mast!"

…

Liao Jiu signaled them to stay calm.

"This is a human, not a monster!" It was the young man with pointed ears.

His ears are different from those of humans. They are pointed and erect, and can be enlarged and shrunk. When stretched out, they can be the size of a palm.

At this moment, he was climbing up the mast, seemingly listening to the wind direction?

Several warriors in the sixth realm calmed down and saw clearly that it was a person.

"What's he doing, Boss?"

Liao Jiu said, "Maybe he has his own tasks and responsibilities, just like us. His ears are very sensitive, so he must be listening to the wind direction. Let's go and don't disturb him."

"Okay!"

Gone far away.

A few of his gossipy subordinates couldn't help themselves and started gossiping again.

"You think his ears are so big? Is he the legendary "Supreme Ear"?"

"It's possible. Those who can get on board this time are all powerful people. Their wages as people with special abilities are definitely much higher than ours."

"That's for sure! We're just errand boys, and we can only catch a few scumbags like that old blind man! Speaking of which, that old blind man is really disgusting. What kind of a jerk is that? He harmed such a young child. That Guanxin Sect must be a bad thing, a crooked way."

Everyone was cursing the blind man out of a shared hatred for his enemy, which was much more relaxing than telling ghost stories.

Liao Jiu spoke little. He paid attention to the surrounding environment while keeping his consciousness at the stern of the ship.

There was a small patrol over there, so they didn't need to go over there. He was curious about what was happening at the stern. At the bow, they encountered a hunchbacked old woman, a young man with super hearing, and a few talented and unusual people. Who knew what they were doing...

His consciousness swept out.

He saw the water grass girl sitting on the deck near the stern, putting her long hair in the sea water, as if she was washing her hair.

But she put her hair in the sea to wash it.

After washing it for a while, take it out and comb it from time to time.

She used a comb to comb out a few lively little fish. The green-faced girl picked up the fish and put them back into the sea.

It's the middle of the night, and no matter how I look at this scene, it seems weird and makes my hair stand on end.

…

Then, Liao Jiu probed into the water again.

He saw two people swimming quickly in the water.

The body is so flexible that it doesn't look like a human, and it's faster than a fish!

One was a dwarf who looked like a monkey, and the other was a man with a face that looked like a fish. They had a large leather bag hanging around their waists. The two men swam quickly in the water, and no one knew what they were doing.

Especially that little dwarf, he was almost leaving an afterimage in the water!
