Chapter 973: Steel Warship

Only then did the thunder dragon come to his senses and walked into the cave.

The cave is very low, and Wu Song needs to bend down to walk in it.

Fortunately, the cave was not long, and after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, they came to the end of the cave.

There is a huge underground cavern with stalactites hanging from the ceiling, and water droplets are constantly dripping from it.

At one end of the cave, there is a waterhole. On the waterhole, a large ship is moored.

The big ship was different from all the big ships Wu Song had seen before, because it was made of steel. All the boats that Wu Song had seen before were wooden boats, and the iron parts of the ships were at most rivets for links.

Wu Song looked at the big ship, and this time it was his turn to feel incredulous, "It's amazing that there is a ship made of steel." ”

Thunder Dragon looked at the big ship, and his eyes bloomed with pride, "This is the old man's life's work, I believe that such a ship is invincible in such a sea world."

Neither the East Continent nor the West Continent can defeat it. ”

Wu Song had no doubt about this, because the other ships were all made of wood, how could they fight against such a big steel ship? It was like a fight between two people, one of whom was holding a wooden stick and the other was holding a steel knife, and the victory or defeat was clear at a glance.

"How can such a ship be piloted? Can we drive it away?" Wu Song said with some curiosity.

"Then you can rest assured, there are enough of us, get on the boat first, and then I will teach you how to steer this ship. The thunder dragon said in a majestic voice.

The group got on the boat, and Lei Long and the others were very skilled in making various preparations.

The two young men, one was the son of the Thunder Dragon, and the other was a disciple of the Thunder Dragon. That woman is the wife of Bronto's son.

The trio had piloted the ship several times before, so they knew everything very well.

After a few moments, the preparations were complete.

The thunder dragon turned the rudder, and a loud roar erupted from the old body, "The ship is gone!"

The big ship started slowly, and the sound of steel clashing came from the inside of the big ship, like the beating of the big ship's heart.

At one end of the waterhole, it is connected to the Temin River outside.

Soon, the big boat came to the river outside.

On the water two or three miles away, there was a big boat parked, which was the big boat led by Boss Du.

The thunder dragon drove the big ship directly over, and when the two big ships were a mile apart, someone on the opposite big boat shouted, "Stop the ship on the other side!"

"Hmph! bluff!" Thunder Dragon snorted disdain from his nostrils, and then he turned to Wu Song and said, "Young man, please prepare the artillery, we will sink that ship." ”

The guns of ordinary warships can only shoot at a distance of 200 paces. At this time, the two sides were more than five hundred steps apart, and the boat on the opposite side could not shoot Wu Song and them at all.

However, the cannon on this ship made by the old man Lei Long was also designed by himself, and its firepower far exceeded that of the current artillery, which could hit up to 400 steps.

The big ship sailed some more distance, and after estimating four hundred paces, the thunder dragon ordered Wu to let go of the cannon.

Wu Song had participated in many wars before and was already very proficient in the use of artillery.

He spotted the enemy's position, adjusted his artillery, and lit the fuse.

With a loud bang, the cannonball flew out of the cannon, arcing through the air and landing on the enemy's ship.

A puff of flame exploded on the enemy ship, like a wonderful firework.

Wu Song made persistent efforts and fired three shots in a row, but each shell did not miss, and accurately hit the target.

After three shells, the enemy's large ship began to tilt, and a raging fire broke out on the deck. Four hundred paces away, Wu Song could hear the screams of the sailors on the ship.

One of the sailors, caught fire in the shelling, screamed as he rushed out of the deck and jumped into his hands.

"Good!" Brontosaurus was extremely happy to see that the steel warship he had made had such power, and he clapped his palms.

He turned to the rudder and drove the big ship straight towards the burning and sinking ship.

Seeing that the two ships were getting closer and closer and were about to collide together, Wu Song was taken aback, and couldn't help but remind Lei Long, "Old man, it's time to turn." ”

"It's okay!" Brontosaurus's eyes flashed with excitement, "In front of my ship, the ship on the opposite side is a pile of rags, just hit it directly." ”

As he spoke, the Thunder Dragon's steel warship had already crashed headlong into the side of the other party's hull.

When the Thunder Dragon's steel warship was built, it had already considered the attack method of hitting the enemy, so at the bow of the ship, the Thunder Dragon was designed into a very sharp shape, like a huge steel knife.

At this moment, the hull of the ship was like a sharp steel knife, easily cutting into the opponent's big ship.

Under the momentum of the steel warship itself, the opposite ship was quickly broken in two.

The steel warship passed directly through the ship and sailed away.

The sailors on the ship were so busy running for their lives that they had no time to pursue the Thunder Dragons. The other two ships were too far away to pursue them.

A quarter of an hour later, the steel warship had already thrown off the thieves of Blue Lotus Island for more than ten miles. Wu Song stood on the deck, and he couldn't see those people anymore.

This was the first time that the Brontosaurus' steel warship had fought since it was built, and the results achieved were completely satisfactory to the Brontosaurus.

At this moment, the old man stood on the bow of the ship with his hands in his hands, looking high-spirited.

Wu Song came to Lei Long's side and said in a tone of great admiration, "Old man, this ship you built is really amazing. ”

"I didn't lie to you," Lei Long said proudly, "My ship is definitely the number one battle ship in the Xuanwu Realm. ”

"That's true," Wu Song sincerely agreed with the old man's opinion, "It's just that we have temporarily gotten rid of the thieves on Blue Lotus Island now, but they will definitely chase after them later, old man, what are your plans next?"

"I don't know too much," Brontosaurus became a little confused, "why did those thieves come to me all of a sudden? ”

"For the treasure," Wu Song looked at the thunder dragon, and then simply told him about the treasure.

"I've heard about the shipwreck treasure for a long time," a look of remembrance appeared on the dragon's face, "It's just that I always thought it was just people's after-dinner nonsense, and there was no real basis."

I knew about the Eye of Death, of course, but I never thought there would be any connection between the two. Is the information you getting reliable?"

"My news came from the mouth of a thief," Wu Song muttered, "All the previous actions of those people on Blue Lotus Island were exactly the same as what that thief told me, so I think this news should be reliable." ”

"Then if that's the case, we'll go treasure hunting too. With a wave of his hand, the thunder dragon made a decision.

"However, we don't have anything," Wu Song was surprised by the idea of the thunder dragon, "We don't have a specific map, and we don't know where the treasure is." ”

"A rough place is enough," the Brontosaurus disagreed, "Didn't you say that the shipwreck treasure is in the core area of the Eye of Death?

The Eye of Death is not too big in total, except for the vortex area outside, there are not many left, and it is easy to find. ”

Wu Song hesitated a little, always feeling that this method was unreliable. But he didn't know anything about sailing on the water, and he couldn't say anything to stop the Brontosaurus.

So the matter was decided, and the brontosaurus drove the steel warship towards the Eye of Death.

Wu Song could leave, fly back to the shore, join Gangfeng and them, and continue to Ruli Mountain.

However, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity, and finally decided to go along.

The Eye of Death was not far from them, about a hundred miles.

Two hours later, Wu Song and the others came to the vicinity of the Eye of Death.

Sure enough, as rumored to be, the Eye of Death is a whirlpool that has been going on for years.

When Wu Song was still ten nautical miles away from the Eye of Death, he could hear the whistling wind, and in the distance, there seemed to be a huge waterfall, and there was a huge sound of water.

At this time, it was early in the morning, and a line of fish belly white was revealed in the sky.

Under the glimmer of the morning light, Wu Song saw an amazing scene. Miles away, a huge whirlpool appeared.

It was as if the arms of a giant were churning the waters, and all the water spun.

Above the river, it was covered with dark clouds. Thick dark clouds piled up on the sky, like a thick wall.

In the dark clouds, there was also a flash of lightning from time to time.

"There is the Eye of Death, the forbidden area for us sea people!" "Thunder Dragon stood in the wind, looked into the distance, and told Wu Song.

Wu Song had heard others describe the Eye of Death before, thinking that it was a huge whirlpool, and there was nothing to be afraid of. But until now, when I saw it with my own eyes, that shock was like a violent wind, invading Wu Song's body everywhere.

Compared to the Eye of Death, the steel warship made by the Brontosaurus is as small as a toy.

"Lei Lao," Wu Song asked worriedly, "can our ship hold up?"

"There is absolutely no problem," said the thunder dragon in a resolute tone, "even now, with the storm, my ship will definitely survive." ”

As soon as the thunder dragon finished speaking, he heard a series of thunderclaps, and suddenly it rained in the sky.

Wu Song looked at the thickening dark clouds overhead, and began to regret coming with the thunder dragon a little.

Moments later, the storm came. The wind howled as if it were about to sweep away everything in the world.

The surface of the water fluctuated violently, and the steel warship was pushed into the air several meters high by the waves for a while, and then came to a trough several meters deep.

This is not the worst, not long after the storm came, Wu Song and the others entered the Eye of Death Vortex.

In an instant, they were swept into a turbulent whirlpool, with no resistance at all.
