Entrapment

A large heavily armored ship, in a large cabin.

"Everyone! Everyone knows that something wrong has happened on the ship in the past few days. It seems that some monster is eyeing our ship. In just five days, five martial arts cultivators have been missing in a row. The situation is already very serious, and we must Deal with it."

"Exactly, we can't sit still and wait for death, we have to come up with a countermeasure!"

"That's right, we must find a way. Although no one is missing in our caravan, there is no chance that disaster will fall on us one day!"

"But how do we respond?"

"This...Miao Sheng, tell me, you usually have the most ideas!"

"Nonsense, I only have some business ideas, so I can't think of any way."

Hundreds of merchants and bodyguards from Li's caravan gathered together in panic and fear, anxiously discussing how to protect themselves.

Including Liao Wenhuo, Liao Hai, Jia Xu and others, as well as Ye Fan, Gu Xinyue and Gu Chunbo, three people who joined Li's caravan after boarding the ship.

In the few short days since the heavily armored ship sailed on the Blackwater River, it disappeared every day. Up to five people have been missing in a row, but not even a single clue has been found.

Among them were four Wuhou and a powerful Wuwang. They didn't even have time to put up a fierce resistance, so they were no longer alive or dead, and no trace of them was found on the giant ship.

The missing people were not members of Li's caravan, but other members of the caravan and a sailor. However, this weird and terrifying atmosphere permeated the entire giant ship, making everyone in Li's caravan breathless.

It would be better if we knew what kind of monster was responsible. Everyone would be prepared and not so afraid.

But now, I don't even know who the enemy is.

This kind of fear almost caused the merchants and bodyguards on the heavily armored ship to collapse.

Everyone talked a lot, but there was still no countermeasure. When it came to talking about what to do specifically, everyone fell silent and was speechless.

After all, we don't know who the enemy is, where they are hiding, and what means they will use to attack them silently. In such a situation, what is the best way to deal with it? !

Li Qingyun walked around the cabin with his hands behind his back, listening to the anxious discussions of the businessmen, but could not come up with any good solutions.

He couldn't help but look heavy, thought for a moment, and warned the merchants and bodyguards, "Let's do this for now! No one should act alone during this period, and at least two or more people should be active together at any time. . And try not to get on the deck of the ship if you have nothing to do. Open areas are the most dangerous! The first person to die was the one who disappeared on the deck of the ship."

Miao Sheng chewed an old pipe and shook his head: "Captain Li, it's useless. Not only is the deck of the ship in danger, there are also people missing while resting in the cabin... But the missing people are all on the side of the ship. , disappeared from the cabin with the window open. It seems that the monster attacked from outside the window, and it is not very safe to stay inside the ship now."

The defense of the giant ship's deck is very high and difficult to break through, but the windows are the only opening. They are about several feet wide, and some smaller monsters can get in and out.

Of course, monsters that are several feet in size are generally very weak and will not exceed the realm of beast masters.

That's why this heavily armored ship dared to leave small windows in the cabins along the side of the ship.

But several of the people involved in this incident disappeared from these cabins.

"That's right. If you live in a cabin with a window on the side of the ship, it seems you can't sleep in it! Either you can't rest, or you have to squeeze in with your friends in other cabins."

"Alas, it seems this is the only way to go!"

Everyone was talking about it.

The people in their caravan are almost all Wuhou or above, and there are several people who are Wuwang. It doesn't matter if they don't eat or sleep for a long time.

But on this trip, everyone took a boat to Blackwater Bay. The boat ride took more than a month, and there were occasional moments of nap and distraction.

No one knows when they will be attacked by mysterious terror due to negligence, and will be caught off guard.

Li Qingyun's worried eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Ye Fan, Gu Xinyue and others.

He thought that Ye Fan had commanded tens of thousands of merchants to resist the green spider beast tide in the wilderness and saved their caravan.

As a city lord martial artist, his strategies must be very clever, and he may have some good countermeasures.

Li Qingyun couldn't help but look at Ye Fan with some hope and said: "Brother Ye, what do you think about this matter?"

"I've been looking around for the past few days, but I haven't found anything."

Ye Fan shook his head.

His golden eyes can see through most invisibility techniques, directly penetrate ordinary objects, and see any abnormal energy fluctuations.

However, there are more than 3,000 high-level martial arts cultivators in the ship, and the vitality is very chaotic. Moreover, the ship is made of high-level black iron armor. There are various formation runes on the deck, and the runes are shining with strong vitality. .

His golden eyes glanced inside and around the ship. Everything was filled with light of vitality, and nothing unusual could be seen at all.

This is also a drawback of the Golden Eyes. When the surroundings are filled with strong vitality, you can't see anything.

Ye Fan glanced at Gu Chunbo, who was standing humbly like an old servant, and asked him if he had discovered anything.

Gu Chunbo also shook his head slightly.

He has been following Ye Fan and Gu Xinyue as their servants. In the past few days, he carefully used his spiritual sense to explore suspicious places in the ship, but found nothing.

Outside the giant ship is a rolling black river. The river is turbulent and the high winds and waves obscure all movement outside the ship. It is difficult to find anything wrong outside the ship.

Even with his Martial Emperor Realm cultivation, he couldn't find anything. The monster's strength was absolutely terrifying.

"The only thing that is certain now is that there is not a mole among the people on our ship. In the past few days, everyone is in danger and watching each other. The mole must not dare to attack easily at this time. But there are still people inside the ship. Disappearances and attacks are very rampant, and each time the missing person is in a completely different caravan, this shows that the enemy should have attacked the ship from outside the ship!"

Ye Fan pondered for a moment, "The only way now may be to actively set a bait trap to trap it!"

Everyone couldn't help but start talking.

"The method of setting up a bait trap is feasible! However, the monster's intelligence is probably extremely high, and its attack method is completely different every time. The bait trap we set may not work!"

"It all depends on the skill of setting the trap. It's better than doing nothing."

Li Qingyun was helpless and sighed: "It seems that this is the only way. I will ask the ship owner, Boss Lu, to see if he has any good way to lure it out!"

After he finished speaking, he went to the captain Lu with a worried expression.

Boss Lu also had this intention for a long time, but he couldn't find anyone to take the initiative to act as a bait. After all, being a bait is extremely dangerous, and no one wants to die.

However, someone under his command quickly came up with the idea of using a bull beast as bait, which might also have the effect of trapping the monster.
