Chapter 233 Ming Shiyin’s Trick
After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, the captain was a little hesitant.
The Sea of Fog is a very dangerous place.
Even though the Black Scallop could get help from sea beasts, the captain still did not have the confidence to lead the Black Scallop through the foggy sea.
Lecio glanced at the hesitant captain and couldn't help but whispered, "The pirates have made a lot of arrangements. If the sea beasts in the sea really go crazy, they can easily destroy the Black Scallop."
"The outcome of us entering the Sea of Mist passively and actively will definitely be completely different. I also suggest that we enter the Sea of Mist now."
The captain was silent for a moment, then asked Lesio, "You said the pirates got help from a master?"
"Yes, I overheard the pirates' plan. I am sure that the pirates' plan did not come from the pirates, but from the mouth of a tall Oriental man."
"Oriental?"
Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and quickly asked Lesio: "What are the characteristics of the Oriental people you are talking about? What is their name?"
After a brief silence, Lecio replied, "He was tall, wearing a white gown, and his face looked very long. He was a man, but his face was covered with a thick layer of rouge. As for his name, I'm not sure. I just heard vaguely that his name seemed to contain the word peony."
"Mr. Mudan, Ming Shiyin?"
Zhang Cheng muttered to himself, then turned to the captain and said, "Let the irrelevant people leave the deck first."
The captain nodded slightly and quickly ordered the sailors to leave the deck. Soon, only Zhang Cheng and others were left on the deck.
After making sure that all the irrelevant people had left, Zhang Cheng took two steps forward to Kuang Tie's side and asked him seriously, "What exactly did the City Builder Family ask you to escort?"
Hearing Zhang Cheng's question, Kuang Tie's eyes flickered for a moment, but soon he pretended to be relaxed and said to Zhang Cheng: "Sir Zhang, you should have heard the captain about what we are escorting. We are escorting a batch of precious crystals, which are what the City Builder Family needs to build mechanical puppets."
After listening to Kuangtie's words, Zhang Cheng waved his hand heavily at Kuangtie.
"A batch of precious crystals might make the pirates jealous, but Ming Shiyin can't take action himself. Ming Shiyin's personal involvement in this matter is enough to prove that there is something in the things you are escorting that he is interested in."
"Kuangtie, I'm telling you the truth. Ming Shiyin is a lackey of the fallen god Dijun. He is known as the Peony Hermit. He is very ruthless and has a plan. He has joined forces with the pirates to attack. If we want to resolve Ming Shiyin's conspiracy, there is only one way, and that is to work together."
"It's already this late. If you still hide something from us, we won't be able to work together. This time, we will all die in the sea!"
After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, the captain quickly said to Kuang Tie: "Kuang Tie, I can use the Rose Family's credit as collateral. No matter what you are escorting, no matter how valuable it is, we will not have any intention of coveting it."
Ji Xiaoman pouted and couldn't help but whispered, "Humph, don't forget that we are all helping you. You accepted our help and hid something from us. This is your fault."
After listening to Ji Xiaoman's words, Kuang Tie finally sighed and said, "There is indeed a treasure among the things we are escorting. As for what this treasure is, I don't know. I only know that this treasure will help Haidu complete the treatment of sewage. This is a treasure that the governor spent a lot of effort to obtain."
"In order to solve the pollution in Haidu, I once lost an arm, but I never regretted it. Now, in order to solve the pollution in Haidu, I am willing to lose my life."
Kuang Tie's words infected Allen and Lesio.
The two men simultaneously stretched out their arms towards Kuang Tie and said almost at the same time: "We are willing to share life and death with you."
When Kuang Tie smiled, Zhang Cheng reached out and touched his chin, and said, "The pollution in Haidu should be related to the God of the Fallen World. This involves a conspiracy of the God of the Fallen World. Ming Shiyin is the running dog of the God of the Fallen World. It makes sense that he wants to stop Haidu from solving the pollution problem."
Zhang Cheng did not continue to ask Kuang Tie what the treasure he was escorting was.
After figuring out Ming Shiyin's motives, Zhang Cheng turned his attention to the captain.
"Captain, have you made a decision?"
The captain glanced at Zhang Cheng, and finally whispered: "Master Zhang, you are right. If we take the initiative to enter the foggy sea, we may have a chance of survival, but if we enter the foggy sea passively, we will definitely die."
"Pass on my order. The Black Scallop will turn away from its original route and enter the Sea of Misty Sea tomorrow morning."
The rest of the night was speechless.
The next morning, Zhang Cheng had just opened his eyes when he heard Cai Wenji lying in front of a small window, calling out in a low voice: "Big brother, big sister, come and see, we are surrounded by purple mist, it's so beautiful!"
"Purple mist?"
Zhang Cheng quickly put his head to the window and soon saw a large amount of purple fog rising from the sea.
These thick fogs look very strange, but very beautiful.
Diao Chan said softly, "The more beautiful something is, the more deadly it is. It looks like we have entered the sea of fog."
Zhang Cheng nodded and quickly led everyone to the deck.
On the deck, Kuang Tie and others have gathered together.
Seeing Zhang Cheng, the captain and Kuang Tie hurried over to him.
"Master Zhang, we have entered the foggy sea half an hour ago. Now all the devices on our ship that can identify directions have failed. Our naked eyes are affected by the fog and can only see scenes twenty meters away at most. This is very dangerous for navigation. Because this means that not only can we not identify the direction we are heading, but even if we find a reef blocking our way, we cannot avoid it."
As the captain finished speaking, Kuang Tie also hurriedly stepped forward and asked Zhang Cheng: "Master Zhang, please try quickly to see if the sea beast can provide us with help."
Zhang Cheng nodded and walked to the side of the ship.
After feeling it carefully for a moment, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but frowned.
"I have lost contact with the sea beasts. All the sea beasts I tamed before died after entering the Misty Sea."
"This place is indeed more bizarre than I thought before."
