Chapter 252: Dilapidated Ship
Chu Qi quickly stopped and waited anxiously for the barnacle to slowly withdraw.
Soon, all the barnacle tentacles came out of the flesh.
Chu Qi seized the opportunity, took out a fire talisman, rolled it up and threw it to the ground. At the same time, Dahei slapped it with his claw, smashing the barnacle into pieces.
There were two needle-sized wounds on Chu Ruanruan's calf, and Dahei rubbed them with heartache.
Soon, the two pinhole-sized wounds disappeared.
"Ruanruan, how are you? Does it still hurt?" Ning Xuan asked hurriedly.
Chu Ruanruan shook her head: "It's okay!"
"How come these barnacles are like spirits and can even suck human blood!" Chu Qi frowned.
"They have indeed become spirits, but it stands to reason that low-level creatures like barnacles would find it difficult to cultivate into spirits. How could there be such a large group of barnacle spirits here?" Chu Runrun asked in confusion.
As soon as he finished speaking, the island beneath his feet suddenly shook.
This time the feeling is much clearer than during the day.
"What's going on? The island seems to be moving!" Chu Runrun said in surprise.
The next second, the entire island began to shake violently and seemed to be slowly rising.
Looking at the speedboat being gradually towed away in the distance, the four people and the dog hurried over.
"Hurry up!"
Ning Yu hurriedly untied the rope around the big rock and jumped onto the speedboat.
After everyone got on, Ning Xuan immediately started the speedboat and sped away quickly.
After swimming a few hundred meters, Chu Ruanruan hurriedly said, "Brother, stop!"
Ning Yu stopped immediately and turned around to see that the island he had just been to began to shake, and the flowers, plants, trees and stones on it were all shaken into the sea.
Slowly, the original appearance of the island was revealed, which turned out to be a huge turtle shell.
A sea turtle's head slowly rose from the sea. It seemed to have just woken up and yawned with its mouth wide open.
"How could such a big sea turtle spirit run into this freshwater lake!" Chu Runrun asked in surprise.
The giant sea turtle's back was covered with barnacles and it roared in pain.
"Brother, let's go back a little!" Chu Runrun said.
Ning Yu looked at the giant sea turtle and swallowed his saliva: "Ruanruan, are you sure? It can swallow us in one bite!"
"It has no ill intentions, it just wants us to help it!" said Dahei.
Ning Yu then drove the speedboat back.
When the turtle saw them coming back, hope showed in his eyes.
"Human, save me, I can take you out!" said the turtle.
Chu Runrun looked at the dense barnacles on the turtle's body and felt like she was about to develop claustrophobia.
"Dahei, this barnacle is afraid of you, so we have to rely on you!" Chu Runrun said, patting Dahei's head.
Dahei raised his head proudly, then signaled the turtle to lower its head.
The turtle lowered its head obediently, allowing Dahei to jump onto its back using its head.
Dahei transformed into a human form and roared towards the sky with all his strength.
Barnacles are water-based monsters that are naturally able to parasitize sea turtles, but they have no resistance to powerful land creatures like Dahei.
After Dahei howled, the barnacles immediately began to loosen.
These barnacles parasitize on the sea turtles when they are sleeping. They absorb the sea turtles' essence, which causes them to mutate into monsters.
Not long after, the barnacles fell off the turtle. The turtle felt his body relax and gradually revealed a human smile.
"Thank you!"
"Big turtle, why are you here?" Chu Runrun asked.
"This is my home, of course I am here!" said the big turtle.
"You are a sea turtle, how come your home is in a freshwater lake?" Chu Runrun asked puzzledly.
"This is not a freshwater lake, but a celestial sea. I am the only divine turtle born in the sea!" said the big turtle.
"Tianhai!"
The four of them were surprised. Weren’t they visiting Xingyun Lake? Why did they come to Tianhai?
"I think you must have entered through a time-space gate by mistake. Many years ago, a group of humans came here, built a time-space gate, and brought in a huge ship.
"After that, I was parasitized by these abominable little things. I felt very uncomfortable and unable to move, so I simply fell asleep in the sea. When I woke up, I saw you." said the big turtle.
"Could it be that the vortex in the Nebula Lake is the space-time gate?" Chu Qi frowned.
"Mr. Turtle, do you know what those humans are doing here?" Chu Runrun asked.
"I don't know about that, but their boat hasn't left. I can take you to see it!" said the big turtle.
"Weren't you asleep? How do you know the ship didn't leave?" Ning Xuan frowned.
The sea ghost looked behind them and said, "The ship is right there. My eyesight is better than yours!"
"Is there anyone else up there?" Chu Runrun asked anxiously.
"There shouldn't be any! I don't feel any human presence!" said the big turtle.
Chu Ruanruan felt a little lost.
If someone on the boat said something, maybe they could get news about their parents.
Chu Qi took Chu Ruanruan's hand and comforted her, "Maybe there's some reliable news on the ship. Let's go take a look!"
"Um!"
In order to save some fuel, Chu Runrun and his friends tied the speedboat to the tail of a big turtle and enjoyed a free turtle trip.
About half an hour later, a huge ship appeared in front of us.
Dahei stood on the speedboat and jumped onto the ship first, then pulled Chu Ruanruan and the others up one by one.
"With Dahei here, the roles of Xiaosi and I have become smaller!" Ning Yu said with a smile.
Dahei called out twice proudly.
The ship is already very old, but the fact that it has not sunk after ten years is enough to show how good the quality of the ship is.
Four men held candles, and the entire deck was illuminated.
After seeing the situation on the boat, the four people's hearts sank to the bottom.
There were some bloodstains dragged on the deck, and blood was dripping and splattered everywhere.
One can imagine what kind of bloody massacre has taken place here.
Chu Ruanruan took a picture with her cell phone and prepared to keep it as evidence.
Chu Qi came to the cockpit and found a dried corpse inside. The corpse was lying on the operating table with one hand still tightly holding the operating handle.
There was a rusty knife stuck in his back, the blade was stuck between two ribs, and the tip of the knife was pierced into his heart.
Apparently, he was stabbed to death from behind while sailing.
Chu Qi found the driver's bag on the ground. There was no identification information in the bag, but there was an old-fashioned hairpin.
This hairpin should be a clue, Chu Qi put it in her bag.
In addition, there was a very blurry photo in the bag, and the face of the person in it was almost invisible.
Chu Qi also put it away.
Chu Runrun and Ning Xuan went into the cabin to check. There was blood everywhere, but the bodies were gone.
"Brother, don't you think this is a bit like destroying the body?" Chu Ruanruan said.
"These people must have been silenced because they knew something. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable to kill so many people at once!" Ning Xuan said.
"Could this be related to the secret information my father said in the notebook!" Chu Ruanruan guessed.
"They appeared here at the same time, so they must be related. Let's look for them again, maybe we can find something else!"
