Chapter 538 The Sheep is Startled
Unfortunately, the fog obscured the boat, but it also startled the sheep.
The fog immediately gathered from all directions, damp, cold, and sticky, and visibility dropped sharply, making it difficult to see more than a few feet ahead of the bow.
The jagged black rocks, like ghostly shadows, appear and disappear in the fog, while the waves crash against them, emitting hollow and echoing sobs.
"Sanchuan, stay inside with your younger brother and don't come out," Xu Yiyi instructed.
"Big sister, I need to go out... I'll fight for you."
Sihai was shouting and wanted to rush out immediately, but Sanchuan suppressed him.
"Be good and stay with your brother."
Xu Yiyi gave the orders in a deep voice. The helmsman and the lookout outside stared wide-eyed, concentrating intently, and relying on experience and intuition, they carefully navigated the winding and narrow waterways.
The helmsman panicked as soon as he touched it.
"Move aside, I'll do it."
Qingshan gradually calmed down, especially after seeing his niece Xu Yiyi, who was more than 20 years younger than him, remain so calm, he had no face to panic.
So, once things stabilized, he immediately took over the helmsman's position.
They walked in cautiously.
The ship was deathly silent; everyone held their breath, as if the only sounds were the wind, the waves, and the friction of the ship moving forward.
The ship had barely heard the news and hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.
The silence on the ship was instantly broken.
"Meow—!"
"Baa—!"
It's a sheep.
Those live sheep were confined to the deck and the upper ventilated cabin.
Suddenly thrust into this unfamiliar environment with extremely low visibility, the damp chill of the sea fog, the oppressive shadows of the reefs, and perhaps the unspeakable tension and fear permeating the ship...
This also frightened the livestock.
"The sheep bleated."
"The sheep bleated."
The boatman reminded them twice, as if afraid that no one had heard him.
At first, only a few sheep bleated tentatively, but then, as if receiving a signal, hundreds of sheep began to bleat in unison.
"Meow!!!"
"Meow meow meow!!!"
The sounds were loud and chaotic, and Xu Yiyi could even detect fear in them.
"Oops!"
Fatty Wang's face turned deathly pale. The joy he had felt at first was now replaced by terror.
"It's all over, it's all over." He felt utterly hopeless.
Sihai first exchanged glances with Sanchuan, "It's not over yet. The wind and waves are loud right now, maybe these pirates can't hear us?"
Fatty Wang just thought the two kids were naive.
"Quick! Shut them up! Gag them with cloth! Or knock them unconscious!" Qingshan hurriedly ordered.
Several boatmen frantically tried to approach the flock of sheep, but the sheep, startled, became even more agitated within the confined enclosure, bumping and scrambling to avoid them.
How could they possibly control it in such a short time?
The bleating of the sheep did not stop; in fact, it became even louder as the boatman approached.
"Where's the cloth? Let's just kill him."
No sooner had the boatman finished speaking than the dagger in his hand was plunged into the sheep's neck.
The injured sheep collapsed with a thud, twitched a few times, and then fell still.
"Don't……"
Just as Xu Yiyi opened her mouth to stop them, she saw the sheep on the deck fall down one after another.
"What kind of time is this to be worrying about the lives of these sheep? You've got some nerve, you're not even sure if you're alive yourself..."
The boatman cursed and swore, completely ignoring Xu Yiyi's attempts to stop him.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen sheep on the boat collapsed.
"old road!"
Xu Yiyi and the others wouldn't listen to advice, so they had no choice but to order Lao Lu around.
“These sheep can die, but they cannot be exposed to blood. Can’t you smell the stench of blood already rising in the air?”
The sea breeze came in gusts, instantly stirring up the blood and gore on the ship.
This is only the slaughter of a dozen or so sheep. If we continue to kill, the blood of hundreds of sheep will probably be surging to the heavens.
They were afraid the pirates wouldn't smell it.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lao Lu went down and twisted the necks of the sheep.
