"Just a mouse."

Liu Jinan took the lead in breaking the deadlock and casually loosened his arms, as if it was not him who had just hugged the man's neck tightly.

The warmth in his arms was still there, and Duan Haiping's cheeks, which were originally flushed, turned pale in an instant after seeing Liu Jinan's eagerness to distance himself from the matter.

"Yeah," he snorted coldly, "I'm wasting my time."

Angry again?

Liu Jinan didn't know what had made Xiao Duan unhappy again, but given his moody personality, it was better to ignore him.

He's used to it.

Seeing Liu Jinan walking further and further away, Duan Haiping was dumbfounded.

He looked at his empty palms. Okay, okay, now we don’t even hold hands?

"Xiao Duan!" Liu Jinan's call came from the front.

Duan Haiping's heart moved and he was about to respond.

But I heard the other party continue: "There is a locked box here, come and break the lock!"

Duan Haiping: “…”

How could an hour be so long? He didn't want to stay even a second longer!

Under Liu Jinan's urging, Duan Haiping reluctantly used his supernatural powers, and the iron chain broke.

I opened the box and found some old things inside.

There were bronze wine glasses, cracked blue and white porcelain, and at the bottom there was an ancient peach wood sword.

Liu Jinan took out the peach wood sword and examined it carefully. He found that the sword had been eaten by insects and was moldy and rotten.

However, one can still get a glimpse of the original splendor of the peach wood sword from the intact part that is only an inch long.

He thought for a moment and said, "These things look like sacrificial supplies."

A peach wood sword to ward off evil spirits, a porcelain bowl filled with black dog blood, and bronze wine jars placed on both sides of the rice.

He had seen similar exorcism practices in the countryside and had followed them as a rule when he was a child. But when he grew up he realized that they were feudal dregs and should not be taken seriously.

In order to verify his guess, Liu Jinan asked Xiao Duan to open several boxes.

There are all kinds of strange things inside.

There are soul-calling bells to guide the living souls, hand drums for praying, and some things that Liu Jinan can't even name.

This is very strange. The bottom hold of a cargo ship does not hold cargo but some sacrificial supplies.

Could it be that the owner of this ship is a witch or a Taoist priest?

As we walked, there was no road ahead.

At the end of the bottom cabin, a bright red wedding gown was hanging on a rusty iron nail.

Deep in the dark and damp cargo hold, it was the only bright color.

Liu Jinan controlled the small ball of light and took in the style and fabric of the wedding gown: "Waterproof, moisture-proof and insect-proof, this fabric is not simple."

The well-informed Duan Haiping stroked the wedding gown twice and said, "This is a special kind of silk, made from Yunjin silk that is unique to Yuncheng."

"This kind of silk is not damaged by water or insect bites, so it is very precious."

Liu Jinan raised his eyebrows: "You know so much?"

Duan Haiping turned his head away, raised his chin slightly, and glanced at Liu Jinan out of the corner of his eye.

"I told you you're fat and you're out of breath." Liu Jinan muttered as he took off his wedding gown.

He always felt that this bright red wedding gown was an important clue.

"Xiao Duan, you know so much about silk, can you tell me any stories about it?"

No one answered, Liu Jinan asked suspiciously: "Xiao Duan?"

When I turned around, I found that Xiao Duan had disappeared.

An hour is so short.

In the following time, Liu Jinan searched the bottom cabin thoroughly, but found no valuable clues except some sand and stones used to remove moisture.

In desperation, he had to put the bright red wedding gown back to its original place.

Stack the boxes into a ladder and climb out of the cave.

Exhausted, Liu Jinan was too lazy to even take off his clothes and fell asleep immediately.

……

Wake up feeling refreshed.

Hearing Wang Gui's voice outside the door calling everyone together, Liu Jinan hurriedly spread his changed clothes on the ground to cover the entrance, then opened the door and went out to gather everyone.

It was the same dinner as last night, and this time everyone didn't hesitate and started to feast right away.

Liu Jinan was halfway through his meal when he noticed that Chang Siqin hadn't moved his chopsticks much, so he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Why aren't you eating? Eat more, your wound will heal faster."

As if she didn't expect someone to talk to her, Chang Siqin was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Thank you, but I really can't eat anymore."

Hearing this, Liu Jinan stopped persuading him.

After eating, he leaned on Hu Jianye's shoulder and closed his eyes to rest.

"An An, are you feeling unwell?" Hu Jianye asked worriedly.

Liu Jinan: "I'm fine."

For most people, it is difficult to accept the reversal of day and night, and hiding during the day and coming out at night.

Therefore, Liu Jinan's decline is not particularly eye-catching.

No one could have imagined that he had found the way to the bottom cabin while everyone was resting during the day.

After the dinner, Wang Gui left.

Just as everyone was chatting, the sea monster appeared again!

"An An, let's do it again." Hu Jianye was full of confidence this time.

Liu Jinan reminded him: "Don't underestimate the enemy. You condense the unstable light ball first, and I will find an opportunity to attack the weak point."

Hu Jianye nodded and began to use his supernatural powers according to his instructions.

With the experience of fighting the enemy last night, the others were able to dodge the tentacles with greater ease.

Finally, Liu Jinan waited for a perfect opportunity.

"Old Hu!"

"Hahaha, I'm ready!"

A huge ball of light swept away, carrying unstable energy.

Everyone looked towards the ball of light with anticipation.

Last night's victory was truly inspiring, and they had no doubt that this attack would also be successful.

"Oh!"

The ball of light that carried everyone's expectations suddenly exploded in mid-air before it touched the tentacles, and the aftermath of the shock made people dizzy.

Without time to think, Liu Jinan shouted: "Siqin, use fire ability!"

Chang Si was busy trying to use his special powers, but before he could even release a spark, he was tightly entangled by the tentacles!

The situation for the others was not much better. Without the obstruction of the light ball, their movements were as fast as a bamboo shoot.

In an instant, several people were imprisoned and hung in the air.

Even Hu Deyi was not spared.

"Dad!" Hu Jianye was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He tried his best to mobilize the remaining supernatural powers in his body, preparing to release another ball of light.

You can't do two things at once. The more anxious he is, the more likely he is to make mistakes.

"Lao Hu, be careful!"

Liu Jinan rolled on the ground and barely avoided the tentacle attack. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a tentacle crawling around, ready to attack Hu Jianye from behind.

After receiving the warning, Hu Jianye did not act rashly.

He knew that he might only have this one chance, and for the sake of his parents and An An, he must not fail!

The tentacles hidden in the dark finally couldn't hold back and twisted their bodies to try to wrap around Hu Jianye's ankles.

As if he had eyes on his back, Hu Jianye did not look back, but accurately pressed the ball of light in his hand onto the tentacle.

The light illuminated Hu Jianye's fearless face.

"Sh ...

The sea monster let out a painful roar, and the tentacle curled up into a ball, with the end appearing to be charred.

It worked!

Liu Jinan felt a little happy, but it was soon replaced by deeper despair.

Because he found that even after suffering heavy damage, the sea monster did not give up hunting them.

More tentacles swarmed up and surrounded the exhausted Hu Jianye. Even he was captured and lost the ability to break free.

At this point, the entire army was wiped out.
