The Lord who use immortals as food

"."

In a dark corner of the warehouse, a faint blue flame lit up first, and then Pei Ye's figure walked into the light.

The black cat squatted in this corner, looking down at the ground.

"There is indeed no downward passage found on this floor." The black cat raised its head, and the blue threads of fire returned from the ground to its little paws, "Everything is perfect."

Pei Ye stomped the floor, and a dull voice came back.

"You said that after they unloaded those things, they cleaned up all traces and left nothing?" Pei Ye tilted his head, "...but at least they should be able to find one thing that was wrong."

"What?"

"That Zhang Ercai's confession said that the ship opened the door from the side that night and brought down hundreds of large tanks, so there should at least be a side-opening door."

"Not found."

"The more detailed description is near the water surface, perhaps this third layer."

"There are no portholes on the first, second and third floors."

Pei Ye frowned slightly.

"I just looked at the water level," the black cat raised his paw and knocked on the wall of the ship, looking at him with blue eyes, "it's just outside, it's just level with the floor of the third floor."

"The whole space above the water without a porthole?"

"No."

What Zhang Ercai saw that rainy night seemed like a dream.

Pei Ye looked at the kitten: "Then you didn't find anything, why did you call me over?"

Black Cat knocked on the bulkhead again: "But someone discovered it."

"Um?"

Pei Ye squinted and saw a round sequin as big as a thumb embedded on the bulkhead next to the black cat.

Pei Ye clamped it with two nails and slowly pulled it out. It turned out to be an iron awl more than a foot long, with a hollow end and a few drops of water dripping from it.

"."

"It hasn't been more than three days since it was nailed in. Besides us, there are people on the ship testing its waterline."

This is indeed a dark, remote, and untouched corner. If anyone is doing anything here, they must be careful to avoid all eyes and ears.

The black cat took a few steps forward and pushed a heavy wooden box away with his claws, revealing his more obvious purpose.

A dug-out square, the solid wood floor was cut open bit by bit, as if trying to dig downwards, but it was only a foot thick and was blocked by a gray and cold iron color.

The boat should not be top-heavy, so it is not suitable to have an empty cabin under the water, but it will not increase the weight of the iron. Pei Ye looked at the iron color for a moment, and suddenly understood - the third level does not lead to the fourth level. There is a ladder on the fourth floor, because the fourth floor can only be opened from the side; of course, the porthole cannot be seen on the side, because the portdoor on the fourth floor has sunk into the water.

"Southern Golden Wind" is very clear about its load capacity. When its first three floors are loaded with enough cargo, the fourth secret cabin will be pressed into the water; when it wants to use the fourth secret cabin, it must be First, unload the cargo on the first three floors and send off the boatmen.

Now that it is fully loaded and heading south, the fourth layer will not surface during the entire voyage.

‘So the iron tanks it’s imprisoned in can only be moved onto the ship after the cargo is unloaded? ’

Pei Ye frowned and thought, then tilted his head and asked, "Where is the destination of this ship?"

However, before the kitten could answer, a nervous voice came from behind: "No, don't move! Who are you talking to?!"

Pei Ye turned around and saw a young man in the darkness around the corner, tensely pressing his wrists and raising his arms to face him, his purple lips pursed tightly. He was dressed as if he were running errands on a ship, with a turban and bare feet. Only his arms were covered by long hanging sleeves, and there was a faint cold and sharp iron light underneath.

However, when his eyes were fixed on this face, Pei Ye was really startled.

The young man didn't react from the dim light. He bowed again and shouted: "What are you doing here?! Put your hands up!"

".Zhang Piaoxu?"

".ah?"

Pei Ye held a flame to his face: "Pingkangfang, do you remember?"

The young man stared at him blankly, his pupils dilated, and he slowly lowered his arms, but the next moment he seemed to remember something and subconsciously hid his arms behind his back.

Pei Ye didn't pay attention and looked him up and down: "Why are you here?"

"." Zhang Piaoxu moved, turned around and looked back warily before taking two steps in, "You, why are you here?"

"I'm here to check this ship." Pei Ye didn't hide anything. He looked back at the marks made by the young man's hard work day and night, and asked curiously, "How can you move this big cargo box?"

The box pushed away by the black cat was taller than a person, and its length and width were even more exaggerated. Pei Ye asked himself that he could not move such a heavy object in his lifetime.

Zhang Piaoxu looked unnaturally as all of her careful concealment was revealed in front of this person. She pursed her lips and looked away: "...I have my own way."

Pei Ye followed his gaze and saw several small parts such as wooden triangles and cylinders tucked in the corner. They looked like they were being sharpened by hand. It seemed that he did have some tricks up his sleeve.

"Do you know what's down here?" Pei Ye raised his foot and stepped on the ground.

Zhang Piaoxu shook his head: "Everywhere is sealed, and the hatch is only on the side."

He hesitated: "I followed this ship for more than ten days, and I overheard something. Someone who followed the ship back from the south said that on the way, they heard something bumping and roaring under the ship, and the noise lasted for half a quarter of an hour. Then it became quiet, and the big boatman said it was a big crocodile.”

"It's definitely not a predator." Pei Ye narrowed his eyes, "What do you think it is?"

"How do I know what it is?" Zhang Piaoxu's body became a little stiff again.

"Okay." Pei Ye looked back, "I want to go down here and have a look. Since you have been here for these days, do you have any experience?"

Zhang Piaoxu was stunned for a moment, and her purple lips moved: "The water is very cold."

"."

Zhang Piaoxu took out three dried chili peppers from his waist and handed them to him.

".How about you buy some wine?"

"Wine is expensive." Zhang Piaoxu was a little annoyed, "Just don't chew it."

Pei Ye sighed and stepped on the exposed iron color. The vermilion jade flowed out from under his feet, covering the gray and cold surface. The foot-thick iron cast slowly sank in a dozen breaths, melting out a cold hole.

Zhang Piaoxu's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I won't swim anymore." Pei Ye said, looking at him carefully before going down, "Don't follow me now, find a safe place and leave quickly."

After saying that, he turned around and jumped down, raising his hand to light up the surrounding scene. Then without even taking a breath, there was a sound of wind behind him and a "plop" sound. Pei Ye turned around, and Zhang Piaoxu was already hurriedly beating the corner of Huo's clothes.

Pei Ye didn't stop at him for a second time, and slowly looked around, as if he were in another world. There was a light white mist here, and cold dew condensed on the iron wall. The smell of water and blood enveloped him at the same time. he.
