Chapter 718: The Loving Man Takes a Whale into the Sea

As the saying goes, good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, great compassion is not self-exterminating, Angelica, who has been to Shipwreck Bay, has also persuaded for a long time, but Blackbeard Edward's mind has been decided, since he insists on going to find death, then there is nothing anyone else can do.

Charleston Harbor is not too far away from Shipwreck Bay, which is hidden in the Devil's Sea, and it took more than ten days to come to this sea.

Before entering the detection range of the pirates, Li Nan, who was following behind Blackbeard's fleet, controlled the lurk rudder and made the 'Sea King' invisible.

Under Li Nan's silent gaze, the confident Blackbeard led the four pirate ships into the mist with high spirits......

As the minutes passed, Mrs. Qing came to Li Nan, who was standing alone on the bow of the boat, and persuaded softly: "If you are worried about Angelica, then go in and have a look." ”

"Nope." Li Nan shook his head slightly, "I can't bring you into danger for her, and if I appear on the battlefield, I will become the public enemy of the entire pirate conference." ”

"We haven't been together for long, but I know you. You love me very much, and you love me very much, and you have a lot of love for maids like Angelica, Xiao Qingyan, Elizabeth, and even Aoi, so I know that you are not feeling good right now. ”

"Huh." Li Nan stretched out his arms and hugged Mrs. Qing, and said with some emotion: "You still know me best, but I already have a way, not only will I not let you be in danger, but I can also protect Angelica." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Qing asked suspiciously.

"Really!" Li Nan smiled and gave an affirmative reply.

In fact, it is not surprising that Mrs. Qing is suspicious of Li Nan's words, now that everyone is on the 'Sea King', surrounded by the boundless sea, if he wants to enter the battlefield in the fog alone, then he can only use the escape boat.

If the waves at sea are small, it is possible for a lifeboat without sails to paddle to its destination, but now that the sea is rough, even if it is as strong as Li Nan, it will not be able to control the boat into the fog.

Mrs. Qing is not an outsider, and Li Nan did not hide it from her, and roared directly at the sea.

In a short time, the sea near the 'Sea King' surged, and a huge black shadow slowly floated up.

Mrs. Qing has been begging for a living at sea all the year round, although she has not seen the true face of the creatures in the sea, but she has an accurate judgment from the terrifying length of the other party, and she can't help but exclaim: "Whale? ”

Li Nan nodded with a smile and said, "Haha, yes, it's a whale." ”

At this time, the blue whale's blue-gray back has been exposed to the sea, its 33-meter-long, more than 180-ton huge body, looks very amazing, and the blue whale is also the world's largest normal creature.

When Mrs. Qing saw this blue whale that suddenly appeared, her eyes widened in shock, and she asked with a stammer: "Brother Nan, are you for... Why ......"

"Why can I summon whales?"

Seeing Mrs. Qing's slight head, Li Nan explained with a smile: "I have the ability to communicate with animals, but speaking of which, this is the first time to communicate with animals in the ocean. ”

This is indeed Li Nan's first attempt, because the "Language of Animals - Elementary" extracted from the system has the restriction that he can only communicate with beasts, so birds and fish naturally do not belong to this list.

When Li Nan was standing alone on the bow of the boat just now, he suddenly remembered an article he had read in later generations, in fact, the creatures in the sea are not all fish, but also mammals.

Among them, cetaceans, pinnipeds and manatees are all marine creatures of the order Mammals.

The injured blue whale is very interested in Li Nan, a human who can communicate with him, because it is smart enough to know that humans can heal their injuries.

Generally speaking, whales have a thick body of fat, and some minor injuries can slowly heal on their own, but this unlucky blue whale recently encountered a whaling ship, and after a struggle, it desperately escaped with a whaling fork.

Now this steel fork is deeply pierced in its back, causing it great pain every day.

Dealing with such an injury is just a matter of hand-to-hand capture for Li Nan, and the whale's ability to endure pain is much stronger than that of humans, so everything was solved in less than ten minutes.

Removing the steel fork from its body, the blue whale happily tossed in the sea, and then it stopped beside the boat in return.

Li Nan jumped onto the whale's broad back and beckoned to Mrs. Qing who was standing on the side of the boat: "Don't worry, I won't participate in Blackbeard's battle, I'm secretly protecting Angelica." ”

"I understand, be careful yourself."

The blue whale took Li Nan to swim quickly in the mist, looking at the rapidly receding water, this novel experience made Li Nan also a little excited.

As soon as he entered the fog of the Devil's Sea, Li Nan heard the rumbling sound of artillery in his ears, and he was more familiar with the artillery fire of both sides, so he could easily tell that it was the shore defense artillery of Shipwreck Bay that was currently firing frantically.

Blackbeard's 'Queen Anne Avenger' is the strongest in broadside combat, and when it comes to the higher-caliber and more powerful shore defense guns, he is already at a disadvantage.

If Li Nan commanded this battle, then he would definitely rush to the shore as fast as he could, relying on the soul corpse to carry out land battles, provided that he knew the location of the reef outside the shipwreck, otherwise even the best ship would sink here.

As the distance got closer and closer, Li Nan had already come to the edge of the battlefield, for fear of being sent down and becoming the target of artillery, he quickly took a breath and ordered the blue whale to sink into the sea.

The blue whale took Li Nan to swim to the periphery of the reef on the side, Li Nan showed his head and looked around, and found that Blackbeard had fallen into a complete disadvantage, his three pirate ships were all dumped on the reef, and the 'Queen Anne Avenger' was constantly suffering from the artillery fire from the shore.

It seems that although Blackbeard is arrogant, he is still very cautious to let his pirate ship explore the way, but he didn't expect that all of them were cut through the bottom of the ship by the underwater reef, and he can't attack it now, and he is unwilling to retreat, and he is in a dilemma.

The artillery of this era was a cannon, that is, a gun with a long barrel, a small firing elevation angle, a low and flat trajectory, a direct aim for fire, and a high muzzle velocity of the shell.

Limited by the load-bearing capacity of the ships, the guns carried on the warships of various countries are limited, but the shore defense guns do not have these concerns, so the coastline of Shipwreck Bay is equipped with the longest-range and most powerful cannon in this era.

Angelica, who was standing next to Blackbeard, was now the first mate of the 'Queen Anne Avenger', and when she saw that her ship was constantly being shot, she hurriedly persuaded: "Father, let's withdraw, there is a reef protecting Shipwreck Bay, and we can't attack it!" ”

"Nope! I swore I would never run away again in my life! ”

Blackbeard pointed to the sea in front of him, and said with a cold meaning in his words: "The soul corpses on the three ships are not dead, but are exploring the distribution of reefs in the sea, as long as we hold on for a while, the victory of this battle will be ours!" ”
