Chapter 579: Seize the Ship
Cai Chuanjia's ship had only three sails, two of which were pierced by shells, and one was left intact.
Cai Chuanjia quickly untied the sails, and as the huge sails fell, the boat lost power.
After walking forward by inertia for a while, the ship quickly stopped.
"All of you, go back to the cabin. Wu Song shouted.
Cai and all the sailors ran into the cabin and closed the hatch tightly.
Wu Song and Zhang Yilu stood on the deck, quietly waiting for the pirate ship to arrive.
Moments later, the first pirate ship approached Cai Chuan's ship.
The ship was still firing cannons, and the shells kept falling into Cai Chuan's boat, leaving many holes in the hull.
Wu Song and Zhang Yilu hid behind a box, waiting for their time.
When the pirates saw that there was no one on deck, they thought that all of them had died in the shelling just now, so they approached Cai's boat, stretched out their hooks, hooked the side of the ship, and then set up a ladder between the two ships and began to board the ship.
There were more than thirty people on the pirate ship, and after half of them boarded the ship, Wu Song and Zhang Yilu came out from behind the box and killed.
Wu Song picked up the Celestial Elephant Fist and rushed through the crowd. Zhang Yilu carried the phoenix Mingjue, and the person jumped into the air, shooting one fireball after another.
Under the siege of the two, all the pirates who boarded the ship were quickly killed.
The pirates who remained on the pirate ship, seeing that the momentum was not good, hurriedly drove the ship away.
Wu Song and Zhang Yilu couldn't let them escape, so the two jumped onto the pirate ship and killed the rest of the pirates in a burst of killing.
Wu Song pulled off the sails on the pirate ship and stopped the ship. Then he returned to the ship of Cai Chuan's house and called him and his sailors out.
The group returned to the pirate ship, piloted the pirate ship, and drove out of the encirclement.
The pirates behind were in hot pursuit, keeping a distance of several nautical miles from Wu Song.
Wu Song sailed ahead and always led the way.
"As long as the wind doesn't change, we can get out of danger. Cai Chuanjia wiped a handful of sweat and said, this was a shot just now, if it weren't for Wu Song and Zhang Yilu, they would have sunk to the bottom of the sea by now.
However, Cai Chuanjia was not happy for long, when they saw a rocky island appear in the sea area ahead.
The island was like a boulder jutting out of the bottom of the sea, but it was as if it had been crushed by a giant hand, and it was torn apart.
"Oh no, look at the topography of the island in front of you, there must be a reef nearby. Cai Chuanjia said nervously.
"But we have no other way but the road ahead. Wu Song said, he looked behind, just two or three nautical miles away, followed by several large ships.
Just get one more nautical mile closer, and the pirate ship will be able to open fire.
With so many pirate ships shooting at the same time, Wu Song's ship couldn't hold on for long.
"Fight!" Of course, Cai Chuanjia also understood this situation, gritted his teeth, and drove the pirate ship into the rocky island.
The pirate ship chasing behind was under the unified command of Captain Redbeard, and the sailors who watched saw Wu Song enter the rocky island, and hurriedly asked Captain Redbeard if he was pursuing.
"Of course I have to chase those two bastards, I must catch them and break them into pieces!" Captain Redbeard said hatefully, holding on to the wound on his waist that had been stabbed by Wu Song.
"But, captain, if we go any further, we will cross the line. The sailor muttered.
"What crossed the line?" said Captain Redbeard.
"It's the boundary agreed with that woman, and the rocky island in front of her is her territory. "Karate.
"Oh... We're already here. Then we'll be here to guard it, anyway, there's only one entrance and exit to that rocky island, and if they go in, they will come out sooner or later, and I don't believe we can't catch them. ”
Captain Redbeard suddenly realized, and after some deep thought, decided to stay outside the island.
"Yes!" the sailor gave the order and withdrew.
After Wu Song and the others entered the rocky island, Cai Chuan's family ordered most of the sails to be lowered, leaving only one sail. The terrain here is too complex and treacherous, so you need to keep sailing at a low speed.
"Cai Chuanjia, don't worry, those pirates didn't come in and stopped outside. Wu Song told Cai Chuanjia what he saw.
"Stopped?" Cai Chuanjia wondered, the current situation is very favorable to those pirates, how can it be stopped.
"Regardless of why they stopped, it's good news for us. Cai Chuanjia, let's go out from the other end. Wu Song said.
Cai Chuanjia also had this intention, controlling the pirate ship and carefully navigating the sea all over the reef. Cai Chuanjia's sailing skills are very superb, and he controlled the big ship and came to the interior of the rocky island smoothly.
But they soon find themselves at a dead end.
In front of them was a high stone wall, and the ship could not pass through it anyway.
"I see, the reason why those pirates didn't come in was because they had to wait at the exit. Wu Song only saw the pirate's intentions clearly at this time.
"Shaoxia, what should we do next?" Cai Chuanjia said.
"First go ashore, and then we're figuring it out. Wu Song said.
The boat docked, and everyone went ashore.
After not taking a few steps on the shore, Wu Song sensed that something was wrong. The soil on the shore is very soft, and when you walk on it, you leave a deep footprint when you lift your foot.
In addition, there is a fine black dust floating in the air.
They had only been on the island for a short time before a layer of black ash fell on their heads and faces.
Wu Song squatted down and grabbed a handful of dirt. It was found to be very similar to the black ash on his body, and it also had a slight layer of heat.
"Master, there's something strange about this island. Wu Song frowned.
"yes. Zhang Yilu said.
As far as the eye can see, there is no vegetation on the island, and the eyes are full of black rocks. There was no sound, and the whole island was silent.
"Everybody be careful. ”
Wu Song said to Cai Chuanjia and others.
The group did not dare to go deeper into the island, so they set up camp on the shore.
There is nothing on the island, and naturally there is nothing to satisfy the hunger. Fortunately, the pirate ship had plenty of food, wine and meat, and everyone had a full meal.
In the evening, everyone lit a bonfire and sat around one place.
Wu Song, Zhang Yilu, and Cai Chuanjia discussed how to escape from here, and Cai Chuanjia often sailed in this area. Although he had never been to the rocky island, he estimated that it was a small inhabited island more than a dozen nautical miles to the northwest.
The pirates were in front, and they thought it was the only exit, so they must all be there.
In this way, Wu Song and the others have an opportunity.
Wu Song They could remove the planks from the big boat, take a few pieces with each person, and then climb over the hill on the island to the back of the island. There, they made several rafts out of planks and sailed to the small island a dozen miles away.
Both Wu Song and Zhang Yilu thought that the plan was perfect and should succeed.
The next day, the crowd went into action.
Soon, they removed the required planks from the big ship, and then each carried a certain number of planks on their backs and began to march behind the island.
They climbed up the mountain, which was not high, about 200 meters.
And it's not steep, so it's said to be easy to climb. However, because the mountains are all black and dusty, it is very difficult to climb up, so the speed of the people is a little slow.
Wu Song and Zhang Yilu are okay, both of them are advanced cultivators, and it is naturally not a problem to climb a mountain.
The gang had a bit of a hard time, and often people slipped and fell.
Finally, they came to the top of the mountain, but everyone found that the road was broken in front.
The mountain seems to have been split through the middle by a giant axe, forming a cliff about three meters wide and a little deep.
Looking down from the edge, you can see the sea crashing against the deep cliffs. A cold wind blew up from below, causing a chill to feel in the back.
"What can I do? I can't get through it. Cai Chuanjia looked at this crack, and a feeling of embarrassment swelled in his heart.
"It's okay, Master and I will take you there. Wu Song said. For him and Zhang Yilu, this crack is just a small ditch.
Wu Song and Zhang Yilu, each carrying one person, borrowed a little strength here, crossed the distance of three meters, and fell to the opposite side.
In this way, Wu Song and Zhang Yilu each carried one person each time, and soon carried Cai Chuanjia and his subordinates.
The group continued to walk, and after passing the crack, they could basically see the beach behind the rocky island.
After walking for less than half an hour, they came to the beach.
Looking out from the beach, the sea is calm and there is not a single boat. As they expected, the pirates were bent on blocking them in front rather than sending men to the rear.
The people immediately began to build a raft so that they would not have too many dreams at night.
Except for Wu Song and Zhang Yilu, these people are all old sailors, and making a raft is a breeze.
Soon, they had several rafts in place, and they were about to finish.
Cai Chuanjia stretched out his fingers, dipped a little saliva, tried the wind direction, and said happily, "God is helping us, the wind direction is just right, and when the raft goes to sea, we can reach the island in an hour." ”
As soon as Cai Chuanjia's words fell, he suddenly heard a loud noise over the island, followed by a shaking of the ground.
"What's wrong?" Cai Chuanjia said in a panic.
Wu Song was also taken aback, and hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw a huge pillar of smoke suddenly rising in the center of the island, with countless sparks in it.
The pillar of smoke only rushed into the sky, forming a huge gray-black cloud in midair.
Then the earth shook again, and then another plume of smoke rose.
It's just that this time the pillar of smoke was wrapped in a cloud of magma, and after rising into the air, the magma dispersed into countless pieces and fell in all directions.
"Everyone, run!" Wu Song shouted, and dozens of clouds of magma fell down on them.
Wu Song and Zhang Yilu took the lead and ran towards the sea.
Now, it's safe to hide in the sea.
The two of them plunged headlong into the sea first, originally expecting that after entering the sea, they would encounter cold water.
On the contrary, the sea water was boiling hot. As soon as Wu Song entered the water, he felt that his whole body was burning and painful.
He hurriedly used his Yuan Force to protect his whole body from being harmed by the hot water.
