Douluo: After I Traveled Through the Book, I Became the Big Sister of Shrek

The deer also asked: "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, I can't be wrong." Haider said confidently, "The ship sailed out of the fog, and the flag of our Purple Pearl Pirates was still hanging on the mast. Everyone thought they had returned and was excited to sail over, but my first mate had sharp eyes and saw the situation on the ship. He was so scared that his legs went weak... There was no one on the deck, and the rudder was actually swinging by itself."

"Ghost ship?" The deer also said, "Could it be that the rudder is broken, so it turns on its own?"

"Absolutely impossible." Haider shook his head. "It was daytime, and I saw it clearly. The rudder was turning slowly, bit by bit, and it wasn't just turning in one direction. It was like something was controlling it, swinging left and right in a sequence to control the direction of the bow. At the time, the ship felt like it was alive."

Lu also thought that the black fog would not parasitize living things, and naturally would not parasitize the ship, but it would affect some means of transportation, or cause magnetic field disorder and compass failure, which was not surprising.

"We were so scared that we immediately sailed away. Fortunately, the ghost ship didn't catch up with us," Haider said. "Later, there were rumors that the 'strange fog' was caused by the sea god's punishment. It was probably someone at sea who offended the sea god and caused such a disaster."

Lu Ye thought for a moment and asked again: "Captain, have you seen those crazy soul beasts?"

"I'm afraid you'll have to ask Haining about this. Ever since the fog appeared, our group has not dared to go to deeper waters easily, especially since there are sea soul beasts that are 100,000 or even 1 million years old in the sea. No one knows whether they will go crazy because of the existence of the strange fog." Haider shook his head, "Alas... If these things were in normal times, the brothers would definitely not believe them. Only those who have seen ghost ships and 'strange fog' know how strange and terrifying they are. Apart from gods and ghosts, I can't explain the existence of these things."

Lu also said: "It does make some sense."

Seeing that she seemed to have taken his words to heart, Haider was relieved and warned her again: "Little girl, I see that you are someone brought by Haining, so I have to give you a few more words of advice. On the sea, don't speak ill of the Sea God casually. When you arrive at Purple Pearl Island and meet the former residents of Sea God Island, don't mention names like 'High Priest' or 'High Priest'."

After saying that, he seemed to think of something, looked up as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not say anything. He only left a sentence "It's not easy for Haining either. Remember to comfort him when you have time", and then left the cabin.

The deer was also thoughtful.

Haining's attitude towards Poseidon, the chief priest of Poseidon Island, was obviously respectful, otherwise he would not have said that he would come to the mainland to find her, the saint, according to the instructions left by the chief priest. Now it seems that Haining is most likely not lying to them. Poseidon Island has indeed fallen in the black fog. Poseidon's life or death is unknown now, but when she was still conscious, she might have seen some prophecy like Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, so she left these words to Haining.

However, the residents of Poseidon Island have now drifted to Purple Pearl Island, and it seems that their attitudes towards the former great priest of Poseidon Island are not unified. Those who chose to return to Poseidon Island, led by Haining, should all believe in Poseidon and respect Poseidon; while most of the residents who stayed on Purple Pearl Island are likely to have completely opposite attitudes, and even blame Poseidon, believing that it must be the great priest's negligence that caused the Poseidon to punish him, resulting in the appearance of "strange fog" on the sea.

They had asked Haining about his experiences a lot these days, but because of the long-term tension and panic of fleeing, and the fact that the polluted Sea God Island gave people a feeling of being too strange and terrifying, Haining could hardly give any useful information. He couldn't even remember the characteristics of the sea soul beast that had chased them. If they wanted to get new information now, they could only wait until they arrived at Purple Pearl Island.

In the following days, the sea was relatively calm, and they did not encounter any attacks from sea soul beasts, so they spent five days in peace.

However, on the sixth day, the wind direction at sea suddenly changed.

The wind began to blow at sea. It was clearly noon, but the sky was already covered with dark clouds. The almost pitch-black clouds blocked out the light from the sky and pressed eerily towards the sea. It seemed that a storm was gathering in the center of the clouds in the distance.

Haider was an experienced captain, and it was not the first time that the Sea Devil had faced a storm at sea, but his expression was still dignified. For the Sea Devil, the most terrifying thing was not the storm at sea, but the sea soul beasts that might appear with the storm.

"Will we encounter soul beast attacks during sea storms?" Ning Rongrong asked, "What kind of soul beasts are they?"

After a few days of adaptation, they finally stopped being seasick and were able to move freely on the deck, unlike the dizziness and vomiting they often experienced the day before. The first mate and the sailors were busy manipulating the mast, reefing the sails and ruddering, preparing to sail against the wind in the direction of the storm. While staring at the nautical chart and directing the crew, Haider took the time to answer her: "It could be anything, whether it's flying in the water or swimming in the sea."

"Shouldn't a strong storm at sea have an impact on marine life?" Lu also asked, "Why did a soul beast attack instead?"

Haider sighed, "It was true in the past, but in recent years, whenever there is a storm at sea, some sea soul beasts will go berserk for some reason, and some sea soul beasts will even become stronger in the storm. In the past, few sea soul beasts would actively attack human ships, but the sea area now is very different from before. In the past two years, many ships have disappeared in ocean storms, and many crew members have died in the mouths of sea soul beasts."

Looking at the clouds getting closer and closer to the horizon, the deer also had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, not long after, heavy rain came down.

Snow-white lightning flashed like dragons and snakes from time to time at the bottom of the dark clouds, and muffled thunder rumbled in the sky, as if someone was beating a drum deep in the clouds. The waves seemed to respond to the thunder and rain, and they intensified. The Sea Devil seemed to have become a shaky boat in the huge wind and waves, being carried by the sea water and rising and falling on the waves.

The Shrek group had to return to the cabin. In order to be able to reunite as soon as possible in case of an accident, they did not return to their own rooms, but gathered in the same room and observed the situation outside through the small window of the cabin.

It was obviously difficult for people to feel comfortable in such an atmosphere. Several people felt vaguely uneasy, especially Haining, who had been curled up in the corner and shivering.

"The weather was like this the day we sailed back from Poseidon Island." He hugged his arms and muttered to himself, "The Poseidon must be angry, it must be..."
