Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

The vast ocean left no traces of the boats. Fortunately, when Bai Yixing invited Xiaomu and Xiaoying to visit the island that day, he mentioned the direction they took when they returned to the Snow Country. They also calculated the position of the boat in the ocean based on the sun, moon and stars, which was not much different from the method used by the Baihua Islanders.

Chu Xiaomu and his two companions grew up by the sea, following their elders to fish and catch shrimps. They often went out to sea for two or three days, and sometimes even for ten days or half a month, so they were not afraid of going out to sea.

The weather was clear these days, with the sun shining obliquely during the day and the moon and stars sparse at night. The three of them had learned since childhood to calculate the position of the ship in the sea based on the sun, moon and stars, so they were quite confident in the direction of chasing the enemy. They were determined not to turn back until they caught up with the Snow Country people, and they waved their oars tirelessly.

At noon on the fifth day, a black dot indeed appeared on the sea far ahead. As we got closer, we could make out that it was a large, isolated ship, sailing slowly toward the northeast on the sea. It looked like a merchant ship of the Snow Country.

The only ones sailing in the vast ocean at this location and time are the Snow Country people who escaped from stealing the tripod from Baihua Island!

Chu Xiaomu hurriedly asked the two to row slowly to slow down the boat.

Yang Dou asked in confusion: "Why slow down?"

Huai Xiaomeng snorted and said, "Now that the time has come, he must be scared." He put more strength in his hands and rowed even faster.

Chu Xiaomu said: "If we chase them now, we will definitely be discovered by them. We can only sneak up on them at night and climb onto their big ship. Only then can we defeat them in secret."

Yang Dou said: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Did you have to wait until the last minute to say it?"

Huai Xiaomeng snorted again and said, "They are not blind or deaf. If we can see them, they can naturally see us. In my opinion, we should catch up with them and kill them as soon as possible. These people from the Snow Country are pure white and must not be good at fighting, otherwise they would not be killed by the water monster and only a few of them are left." Although he said that, he still slowed down his paddling.

Yang Dou had always been at odds with him, and said, "What are you bragging about? If you were really that powerful, why didn't you go out to sea to chase them earlier? Maybe you would have caught up with them and killed them all." He paused, and then said, "Maybe they would have thrown us into the sea to feed the fish."

Huai Xiaomeng's face turned red when Yang Dou asked him the key question. He stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Do you think I'm afraid of them? Okay! Then I will deal with five by myself, and you and Mu Tou will deal with four!" When he stood up, the boat shook violently.

Yang Dou rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your name is Xiao Meng, we all know you're strong. You don't need to deal with five of them, just count the two seriously injured ones as four. Mu Tou and I will deal with two and a half each."

Huai Xiaomeng was very angry and shouted, "Great, so it turns out that I can only deal with two, but you can deal with two and a half. When we were fighting as kids, when did you ever beat me? Get up, let's fight here again!" After that, he stood up and pulled Yang Dou to have a fight with him on the boat.

Chu Xiaomu hurriedly pulled Huai Xiaomeng to sit down and said, "Don't argue about this for now. The people of Snow Country are all tall and strong, but they are not as easy to deal with as you think, especially the one named Qin Gang. I always feel that he is a little weird. And there are many of them, so we have to be extra careful. Otherwise, not only will we fail to take revenge, but we will also lose our lives here. What should we do then?"

Only then did Yang Dou and Huai Xiaomeng stop arguing.

Xiaomu then told the two of them in detail the countermeasures he had thought of in the past few days.

Huai Xiaomeng said unhappily: "Let me do as you say first. If it doesn't work, I'll make my own plans!"

As it got dark, the three of them rowed faster and slowly caught up with the Snow Country ship.

When we approached the ship, it was almost midnight. A cold moon was hanging obliquely in the northwest sky, and the sea was still pitch black.

In the moonlight, one can vaguely make out a large ship with sails hanging on its side, sailing slowly in the dark sea.

Chu Xiaomu secretly thought that he was lucky: "They were short of manpower and their boat was too big to row by human power. They could only rely on the wind to drive the sails. Fortunately, the wind was weak at sea and the direction was not completely right, so they moved very slowly. We were able to catch up so quickly."

He remembered that there was a rope ladder hanging on the right side of the big ship, so he rowed the boat quietly over there. Sure enough, he saw a rope ladder hanging softly from the deck railing, occasionally hitting the hull with a slight clicking sound.

The three men were overjoyed. They tied their swords, knives and spears to their backs and climbed up quietly.

Chu Xiaomu and Huai Xiaomeng had the long sword and long knife given by Bai Yixing tied to their backs, while Yang Dou was holding a long spear commonly used by the islanders of Baihua Island, which was usually only used to hunt animals and poke fish. Although it was quite sharp, it was far inferior to the swords made of cold iron from the Snow Country.

The three of them quietly boarded the ship. The moonlight was dim, the deck was empty, and only vague shadows could be discerned everywhere.

The sea breeze blew gently, occasionally moving the ropes and making slight snapping sounds, which inevitably made the three people's heartbeats accelerate.

When I arrived at the stern deck, I saw that the wooden door of the lower cabin was half open, and bursts of talking and noise came from downstairs, but the voices were too soft and mixed with the sound of the ship, so I couldn't hear clearly.

Suddenly, a series of "dengdengdeng" footsteps were heard, and a man walked into the cabin.

As the man walked, he said to himself, "These Bai and Qin guys are arguing all the time. It's really annoying... The smell inside this damn broken boat is terrible. Why not go up and get some fresh air?"

Chu Xiaomu recognized the voice as that of a man from the Snow Country named He, and thought that this man had a scoundrel look and was obviously not a good person, so he deserved to be in trouble today.

With a slight "creak" sound, the cabin door was pushed open and a boatman named He walked out of the cabin.

Huai Xiaomeng walked gently behind him and stabbed the knife into his back with force, piercing him through.

The boatman named He made a long "hehe" sound from his throat and was about to shout for help, but Chu Xiaomu took a step forward and covered his mouth and nose tightly with his hands to prevent him from making any sound.

Yang Dou also pounced on him and hugged his feet, preventing him from kicking and making any sound.

The boatman named He struggled for a while and then gradually lost his strength. His hands dropped down little by little and finally stopped moving.

Huai Xiaomeng pulled the knife out of his body, and blood dripped from the blade onto the deck, making a soft tapping sound. He was very proud of his success, but it was his first time killing someone, so he couldn't help but breathe faster and his heartbeat accelerated.

Chu Xiaomu and Yang Dou were in the same situation. They were gasping for breath, their hearts were pounding, and their hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably. It took them a long time to calm down.
