The Great Oishi Zu's
Red Zone

Early in the morning in Val's room there was a commotion, Val was surprised by his unusual form. He shouted like a madman at Zhu Long, but all he could hear was the sound of chicks.

"Pick! Pic, pik,piiik!"

"Ughs? Val you're so noisy it's still early in the morning you know?"Zhu Long rubbed his heavy eyes.

"Pick... Tell me what happened to Val." - Val said, pointing the finger at Zhu Long, without the girl realizing she could speak normally.

"Hwaaaaa Val's voice changed like a chick too!"

"Don't cry Val you're a big one."Zhu Long looked at Val annoyed.

She puts away the blanket and notices Val, Val's body has not become normal. His hand grabbed Val gently and placed her on the shoulder.

"Let's have breakfast, no more bathing." Zhu Long said.

Val's face looked pouted, Zhu Long did not care about that. The two of them went to the diner, but he accidentally stole with the crew talking.

"In a moment we'll pass through that damned place, ugh I'm still afraid."

"Let's relax this time it'll be safe without taking any more victims."

"Indeed on this ship there's a master huh??"

"It could be."

Hearing that Val and Zhu Long's ears grew bigger, the two of them became curious.

"What do they mean?"ask Val kepo.

"Maybe the place in question is where the sea spirit is" Zhu Long replied while recalling something.

"Are they octopus? Usually in many stories there will be a giant octopus in the sea" Val said excitedly.

"That's not entirely true."Zhu Long laughed amusedly.

The two of them arrived at the dining room, there were many people already filling the table.What was left was only a table in the corner of the room, inhabited by two people only.

"I don't expect to sit with a grizzled human being." Zhu Long involuntarily said.

Val looked at his older brother, he felt Zhu Long disliked the old man and his disciple. Val also dislikes them because, they hunt spirits in the Mangrove forest.

"Val's afraid of being discovered."Val jumped into Zhu Long's pocket.

"I think the same with you."Zhu Long took out a tray containing a bowl plate and a glass.

He lined up in rows of people near the ready-to-eat food table. Some kitchen crews filled the trays they carried. After finishing the queue, Zhu Long was about to return to his room with food in hand.

"Young Master, you have to eat his food here that's the rule" said a kitchen crew.

"Well, fine."you don't want Zhu Long to approach the table in the corner of the room.

"May I sit here?"

The old man and the young man beside him looked up at Zhu Long, they fell silent then nodded approvingly.

"Please, this table isn't full yet" replied the white-haired man with a friendly face.

"Thank you."

....

The breakfast went on quickly, now Val was sitting in Zhu Long's pocket peering at the sea view. Right now they were outside the ship, sitting on the seats bored.

"You're sure Val won't go inside?"

"No Val still wants to be here, he said in a moment we will pass through the sea spirit region."

"That's true, but they'll only damage your ears."

Val could not believe Zhu Long's words, he stared at the fog that was approaching the ship. A few seconds the ship Val was riding on tried to change course. It was as if there was a danger ahead that awaited them all.

"Passengers are expected to get on board quickly! The red zone is approaching! If you do not listen to our instructions, we will not be responsible for any accident that befalls you!"shouted a crewman at the entrance.

"What's wrong?"

"Like her we're going through that famous red zone."

"I hope nothing happens."

"My gut feeling about that is so bad."

Zhu Long stood up, he followed a group of people who were about to enter the ship. Val notices the increasingly thick fog approaching the ship quickly.After all the passengers enter, the crew hastily closes the ship's door. All passengers are collected in a spacious room without any furniture.

"Don't panic follow our orders to keep us safe."

The captain of the ship went into the room and looked at everyone with a grim look, making Val feel that something was up. Was the sea spirit so strong that they were terrified like it was going to end tonight?

"Do you know anything about water monsters? We should not have passed through the red zone when viewed from the map, we have all chosen a special route so as not to pass through the red zone" said the captain.

Val listened carefully, he was curious as to what the Captain of the ship would talk about.

"This red zone looks like it's newly formed, and we don't even know when the nest of spirit beasts is formed here."

"Are we going to die here? We don't want to die!"

"Calm down, we've all been trying so hard to make this trip work."

"Please turn around now! We all don't want to die!"shouted some middle-aged male merchants.

Most of the passengers here are traders, then the swordsman who pay not how much. There may also be a swordsman with a high status.Val felt that something was not wearing approaching the ship slowly.

"Sir, we've been stuck here impossible to move a ship that's been reached by the red zone."

Brakes....

Something hit the ship until some parts of the ship were destroyed, even more unfortunate is the place where everyone gathered. Several people were hit by the wreckage of the wreckage of the wreckage. Everyone refrained from the strong winds that barged in.

"Ughs... What'sthis?"

"Te-skull!"

Everyone was shocked to see some living skulls, appearing in front of them all. It was as if they were currently in a deep nightmare.
