Chapter 261: Just a sea monkey! Go pick someone up!

"Boss Fang Yun, I know I was wrong! Please save me! What on earth is this thing?"

Wu Xie's voice was trembling with tears.

Fang Yun leaped into the cabin, and the monster, upon seeing Fang Yun, acted as if it had seen a monster, taking several steps back.

"It's just a sea monkey. Look how scared you are. You look like you've never seen anything like it before."

Fang Yun said disdainfully.

……

At that moment, a scene suddenly flashed through Wu Xie's memory.

When he was little, his classmate told him something.

That classmate lived on the coast, where the locals made their living by fishing.

One day, a man in their village caught a strange creature.

The creature looked so strange that the whole village came to watch.

One person said it was a sea monkey and that it would be best to put it back quickly.

To avoid other sea monkeys coming after us, which would be disastrous.

The man, however, was unconvinced and, after hearing these words, thought the sea monkey must be a rare creature.

I raised the 19 myself for a few days, then sold it to a family in the city.

Who would have thought that just a few days later, the man and his entire family would all die tragically in their house.

This incident has caused widespread panic among the local villagers.

Offerings such as pig heads were placed on the altar, and a feng shui master was invited to perform a ritual for three days and three nights.

Only then did the matter finally subside.

That classmate also drew a picture of what the strange animal looked like when he saw it.

Wu Xie glanced at the painting once, and couldn't sleep for three days and three nights.

Every time I'm about to fall asleep, I'm startled awake by the image in that portrait.

Wu Xie then realized that this was indeed the sea monkey Fang Yun had mentioned, only it was much larger.

……

Wu Xie's thoughts were instantly pulled back by the roar in front of him.

Wu Xie saw Fang Yun walking unhurriedly toward the sea monkey, which kept hissing.

But judging from his tone, it sounded like he was begging for mercy, which made Wu Xie admire Fang Yun even more.

"It's quite unexpected that there's a sea monkey in this cabin."

"I'll let you off this time since you didn't hurt them. But if you dare to do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless. Go back to where you came from."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Amazingly, the sea monkey seemed to understand Fang Yun's words, and quickly turned around and ran back to the captain's cabin.

All that could be heard was the sound of sea rust being torn apart, and then the sea monkey disappeared.

“That sea monkey has already made a big hole in this ship. Now get up quickly, take that girl with you, and get back to the original ship. Be quick, don’t collapse on the ground like a coward.”

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he leaped up and jumped directly onto the deck.

Wu Xie was embarrassed after Fang Yun said that.

Wu Xie pinched his thigh hard, as if to provoke himself.

Wu Xie took a deep breath, stood up while holding onto the ladder, and, holding Ah Ning beside him, began to climb up the ladder.

Wu Xie gripped every available ledge he could find.

It was only with great difficulty that they managed to get Aning out of the cabin.

Before Wu Xie could even catch his breath, Fang Yun kicked him.

"This is not a place for you to rest. The keel of this ship is broken. Get up quickly, the captain has already sailed over to pick you up."

Fang Yun said calmly.

"How are you all? Is Aning alright?"

Old Zhang shouted immediately.

Wu Xie struggled to carry A Ning on his back and waved to Lao Zhang and the others.

The crew members on the ship immediately cheered.

Wu Xie didn't quite understand why their earlier panic at the sight of the ghost ship seemed so comical compared to their current state.

Perhaps this is because these crew members are simple-minded!

The captain also urged his crew to go full speed ahead and approach the ghost ship.

With everyone's help, Wu Xie and A Ning were finally brought over.

Fang Yun glanced thoughtfully at the ghost ship beneath his feet, then gently stepped back onto the ship.

"What are you guys standing there for? Get out of here and get back to the hell out of this place! What kind of mess is this?!"

The boatman sighed.

"Wu Xie, come and lend a hand."

Fang Yun said.

Ignoring his physical pain, Wu Xie quickly stood up.

Fang Yun asked Wu Xie to help A Ning sit up.

Although Wu Xie had some doubts, he would still follow Fang Yun's instructions.

Wu Xie saw Fang Yun lift A Ning's hair.

Although Wu Xie had experienced the near-withering of his hand twice before, this time it still terrified him quite a bit.

A pair of hands were curled up in Ah Ning's hair.

The two hands weren't very long, and there were some traces of petrification underneath.

However, at the end of the palm was a fleshy growth, and on the fleshy growth was a strange human face.

But that face was pressed tightly against Aning's head.

This scene is particularly eerie!

Fang Yun pressed several acupoints on the back of A Ning's head.

The tumor suddenly shrank rapidly, emitting a chilling sound.

Accompanied by wisps of black smoke.

Fang Yun quickly pinched the tumor with two fingers and pulled it out, and the tumor was pulled off by Fang Yun directly.

Fang Yun casually tossed the tumor into the sea.

"This is a human-faced shinbone. To put it simply, it is the embodiment of all the wronged souls on that ship. Just now, it was this thing that controlled Ah 610 Ning to do a series of bizarre and incomprehensible things. However, once this thing is pulled out, it will quickly die and dissipate into the world."

Fang Yun gave a brief explanation.

Wu Xie noticed that the boat captain's expression wasn't good, and guessed that the captain was also regretting taking on this sea voyage business.

These kinds of things are enough to give the boat captain a headache.

Wu Xie and A Ning were settled in and rested for a while.

When Wu Xie woke up, it was already dusk.

On the deck, Wu Xie watched the sun set.

"Where is our next destination?"

Wu Xie asked instinctively.

"We're going to pick someone up now."

Ah Ning said.

"It seems your body has almost fully recovered."

"Thank you for saving me earlier."

"It's alright, it's alright, but who are we going to pick up this time?"

Ah Ning pointed to a dock not far away.

"I think you all know each other."

In no time at all, the boat had arrived at the dock.

"Look at all you people! You said you'd pick me up at this time, and look how much time has passed! You have no sense of time at all. How can I trust you guys to work with?"
