Chapter 985 I don’t want to die!
"She's so strong! If it weren't for her, the entire Hope would be gone."
…
After hearing this, Captain Nix, the first mate and the others all changed their expressions.
Captain Nix was a little embarrassed. "There are so many people on the boat, it's hard to talk. Let's go inside and talk."
His intuition always told him that this couple might seem ordinary, but they were extremely difficult to deal with.
So, he never targeted them.
It seemed that his intuition saved him again.
Jiang Lianzhu and the others didn't want to cause panic. If ordinary people knew the truth, it would do nothing but make them worry, fear, and anxious.
So the couple followed Knicks and the others into the house.
Knicks was very attentive and took the initiative to pour tea for Liao Jiu and his wife.
"About the old witch! No, I know a little about the old witch. Like you, I was hired as a captain. My only responsibility was to find the Good Luck. The old witch worked for the ship's management, and the first mate knew more about her affairs than I did..."
The ball was kicked to the first mate.
The first mate had some injuries on his face and body. It was when the storm was at its peak that Knicks rushed him to the third floor to check the situation.
He didn't see the situation, but was nearly swept into the sea by the storm. He only survived by tying himself tightly with a rope and holding on to the railing.
He looked guilty and trembling, "I don't know the details. I'm from the ship's company, but on the ship, the hunchbacked old witch is the primary person in charge. I follow her orders and do whatever she tells me to do. As for her sacrificing the children, I really didn't know! I thought it was just a ritual for the children. She told me she wanted forty children to play with the sea god. I didn't know she wanted to kill them. I didn't know! I just did as she said and added some of her things to everyone's food. And she kept you two hostage in the middle of the night. She wanted to borrow your daughter and was afraid you two would find out..."
Jiang Lianzhu could tell at a glance that he was lying!
"Hold your conscience and swear to heaven, are you really unaware or are you just pretending not to know?"
As he spoke, he used some magic power, and the first mate's legs trembled and he knelt in front of Jiang Lianzhu.
"I, I..." He stuttered and couldn't speak. Finally, he slapped himself in the face, and it was very loud.
She began to cry bitterly. "I knew about it, but even though I knew it, there was nothing I could do. I couldn't make the decision. On the ship, I had to listen to her arrangements. This was decided by the ship's management. I was just a small captain running errands. I'm an ordinary person with no abilities. I don't know any witchcraft at all. I wasn't even qualified to participate in the whole process. There was nothing I could do! We were all trying to find the Good Luck. I could only comfort myself that those who achieve great things don't pay attention to trivial matters..."
Jiang Lianzhu snorted coldly.
The first mate was so frightened that he trembled and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Captain Nix also felt a little guilty. "The old witch did ask me to capture your daughter and give her to her, but I didn't cooperate. I saw that this child had a good impression, so I didn't do it. I have always disapproved of her actions. I understand her offering sacrifices to the sea god. My opinion is that it should not be done unless it is absolutely necessary. Today is the last moment, and I am afraid that more sea monsters will come..."
Although he felt guilty, he did not attack Nanbao, and Chounu even protected Nanbao. He felt that he had not let the couple down.
They couldn't find anyone to blame.
Jiang Lianzhu looked at the sky outside, and the ominous premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.
This is wrong!
Could it be that the storm, the dark witch sea god has returned?
Taking advantage of the moon disappearing behind the clouds, he launched a surprise attack?
It's really dangerous here.
These people were still talking nonsense and shirking responsibility. She didn't want to listen to their nonsense here anymore.
He gave a direct order, "Don't say anything for now, the Hope needs to return immediately! We'll investigate the responsibility after we reach the shore..."
Nix frowned, "Now?"
"Yes." Jiang Lianzhu's voice was unquestionable.
Can't go any further!
There is great danger in going forward.
It seems that it is not too late to turn around and retreat now.
Because of Jiang Lianzhu's resolute and solemn tone, at this moment, even someone as stubborn as the Knicks couldn't refuse.
"good."
Since he had agreed, he immediately ordered his men to turn around and return.
At this moment, suddenly, the baby on Liao Jiu's body began to move restlessly.
The little nose sniffed the air a few times.
"Dad, Mom, it smells like a sea beast..."
"More than one..."
"It seems like yesterday, a thousand-mile-long thorn..."
Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.
If a kid said this, he would definitely be scolded. He's not a dog. He sniffed and said a sea monster came. Isn't that nonsense, nonsense, a bad mouth, and disrupting the morale of the army?
But no one dared to doubt the child of Liao Jiu and his wife. The child of such a couple must be no ordinary person.
It’s just horrible things to say.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Lianzhu and his wife.
It is now clear who is the strongest, and it all comes down to strength.
Jiang Lianzhu patiently confirmed with Nanbao, "Is there really a sea monster coming?"
"Yes, there's that smell approaching!"
The first mate was still worried. "Could it be that the skinned sea monster carcass from yesterday was blown closer by the wind?"
Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door. It was the boy with super hearing and the water grass girl.
The two men looked very unhappy. "Captain, we have spotted two large sea beasts nearby. They are approaching quickly..."
Everyone's last bit of hope was gone.
Two large sea beasts!
There was no way it was the corpse of a sea beast blown by the wind!
***
The Hope quickly changed course, but it was too late.
I saw two sea thorns with sharp horns that were barely visible, floating on the sea surface and catching up.
Jiang Lianzhu and the others saw it first. They could probe with their consciousness and sense many places in the dark. Then came other people with special abilities, warriors in the sixth realm, and finally, even ordinary people on the ship, the first mate and VIPs could see it.
It was very close now.
Only a few minutes passed from the time Nanbao smelled the sea beast!
"Sea beast!! Those sharp thorns, are they from a sea beast?!"
"Oh my god, the sea monsters are coming again, two of them! One on your left and one on your right. What do they want?"
"Oh my God! These two sea monsters are exactly the same as the ones we saw during the day, even bigger. One is even bigger than our ship. We are doomed this time!"
"Is it still provoking us, spraying water at our boat? Is it about to start attacking us?"
"It's so scary! I don't want to die! Help! Nix, help!"
…
Even the people in the poor warehouse below heard the news and came out to look. At this time, they didn't care about the rule that the poor were not allowed to leave the warehouse and were offending the nobles.
