Chapter 234: Wonderful World
The pirates in the fleet completely collapsed, except for the thirty or so pirates on the flagship who relied on * to block and repel the attack of the sea monsters, the other pirates fled into the cabin.
However, the footsteps of people are far from catching up with the wave of the tentacles of the big octopus, and the soft long arms are covered with mottled suction cups, which cannot escape the restraint when attached to the body. As a result, most of the pirates disappeared on the way to escape, and there was not one pirate who escaped into the cabin to save their lives.
On the flagship, the pirate leader Black Bull stared at the side of the ship with his eyes wide open. More than thirty of his men suffered heavy casualties in the first round of attacks by the Kraken, but they were not all wiped out.
He now stood tightly in the middle of the deck with the remaining two dozen men, leaning against the cabin to fend off the sea monsters. As soon as there is an abnormal movement on the side of the boat, one* is thrown in the direction of the sound.
The rifle was ineffective against the sea monster, the cannon missed, and the helmsman did not leave much for his descendant, only two boxes, less than a hundred.
He really didn't have the confidence to hold out on to the ship until dawn. The pirates around him are all brothers recruited by his hometown, and because of the friendship of his ancestors, he is regarded as a confidant by the helmsman who values the old relationship.
Because they were not hit by the sea monster, the rest of the pirates were all undamaged, and their combat effectiveness was still there. The one who was attacked is now estimated to have fallen into the belly of the sea monster.
The black bull has always been fierce and brave, but no matter how fierce he is, there is a limit, he is not an ignorant and fearless idiot, and he is in awe of nature and the sea from the bottom of his heart.
Storms, whirlpools, sharks, sea serpents, he has experienced countless dangers. The sea monster encountered this time was like an octopus that had been magnified a thousand times, and it was something that had become a essence, which made him feel powerless.
Listening to the sound of gunfire, cannons, screams, and dying cries from the distant fleet, his bones were cold, his hands and feet trembled, and he didn't know when he too would become food for the monsters.
Then, the counterattack from the nearby ships gradually disappeared, and there were no more screams, as if the two empty ships seen on the sea during the day.
Die! It was the only word he could think of, and the rest of the ship's companions were dead.
Next, he had to continue to observe the movement on the sea.
In the distance, the sailing ships began to continue their previous nightmares, capsizing in the sea one after another, and gradually sinking upside down.
In the end, the entire fleet was left with only three large ships moored in the middle, and the flagship of the Black Bull was stationed in the center to defend it, and the power of the * made the sea monster dare not approach. But the remaining two have become cradles by this time.
The lone mast writhed helplessly in the dark night, like a woman of good family who had been ravaged by robbers, and the shrill clicking sound of the ship's hull was like a howl of pain.
In the face of terrifying beasts, aren't these pirates a bunch of wretched creatures ravaged and wretched?
The longest night of the Black Bull's more than twenty years of life finally passed, and by the glimmer of dawn, a bleak scene of the end of the world presented to him.
It was dawn and the sea calmed down after the tide receded.
A glimmer of light shone through the veil-like sea mist, and the sailboat stood alone on the water like fallen leaves in a fantasy world. There is no coast in sight, and there is no direction in sight.
The men hiding in the cabins climbed onto the deck, and the pirates on the flagship walked around in a daze, looking in all directions like ghosts wandering in the morning mist.
Outside the calm bay, a low sand bank emerges from the water, and outside the sand bank, there are scattered broken planks, masts stuck upside down in the water, and capsized sailboats float with the waves, like a giant turtle shell.
In the water, you can see groups of black shadows wandering, which are piranhas looking for the scraps floating in the water. Occasionally, a deep black ridge will appear on the hazy sea, breaking through the water, as if * sailing on the surface, it is a shark that gathers in twos and threes to find food.
In the swamp in the distance, the sound of water and grass rolling can be heard from time to time, breaking the silence of the early morning. In last night's fierce fighting, the corpses of python giant crocodiles were left on the shore and in the water, and in the fjord, there were even two huge sea monster corpses, a small half of which were eaten.
After a night of feasting, the crocodiles are now turning their bodies in the swamp to help their stomachs digest their food as quickly as possible, ready to continue the feast.
The pirates on the three ships looked terrified, what a dangerous place it was, and looking at such a beautiful and peaceful environment around it, no one would have imagined that this place would be a lively restaurant, and that they would be the food on the table.
The pirates all saw the horror on their companions' faces, and the other two surviving ships, with the exception of the flagship, had been flat-roofed, and the deck superstructure had been swept away.
The mast, the cabin, the ship's side, the cannons, all disappeared.
The boat, turned into a platform that floats on the water.
And the flagship was not much better, the bow gun was knocked down and scattered, and the stern gun was even more missing.
The huge fleet, from twelve intact sailing ships at the time of departure, is now miserable and only three broken ships remain.
If you can have the power to protect yourself, this is the only one left.
The red sun is like a chicken egg, gradually emerging from the milky white mist, dispelling the obstacles in front of you.
The scattered fleet is presented in front of everyone.
Looking at the sea, several huge heads floated on the water, their faces hideous, and their bulging eyes emitted a cold cold light.
It was the light of anger, hatred, contempt, greed, and hesitation, ready to strike a deadly attack.
The black bull was bitter in his heart, and he didn't know how to escape such a predicament.
Looking in the direction of the beach, six or seven hundred meters away, there was a figure he was familiar with, the helmsman, this was the hero he admired. Seeing his leader, the black bull's heart swelled with warmth, and he felt a lot more steady.
This middle-aged man with excellent kung fu has always taken good care of his ugly-looking junior, if it weren't for the helmsman's discernment, the black bull who has always had low self-esteem would never have been able to stand out in the rebellious archipelago, and he could become the leader of a team of pirates with his own strengths.
Since childhood, the black cow has been the object of ridicule by his family and ridicule, with a dark face and a thick body, he is a big black cow who is laughed at by others.
However, the black bull, who has a rough appearance, is very delicate and sensitive on the inside.
When his father brought him to the helm to find a job, it was the helm who took him in, discovered his simplicity and intelligence, and gave him the opportunity to learn martial arts.
Since then, he has also made a name for himself in the Shark Gang and has become a rising star.
Over the years, he has also earned a family business, and he has been taken care of by the big boss, and he has been assigned two delicate and fair-skinned Oriental women, who have worked hard and have given birth to several babies.
Who would have thought that when he was humiliated as a child?
For such a big boss, it is worth dying.
The black bull is determined to die, and he must break out of the encirclement and return to the helmsman's side.
There is also an undamaged paddle on the flagship, and the remaining two boxes* are almost exhausted, and there are more than a dozen, and more than 20 people cannot go ashore with one paddle.
The only way is for a small number of people to go up and row the boat, and the rest of the people grab the side of the boat and swim in the water, use * to open the way, and break a way out together.
If you stay on the ship, you can only become a lamb to the slaughter, and sooner or later become food for the sea monster.
The Black Bull and his men lowered the raft on the ship, and gestured to the surviving pirates on either side of the ship, signaling them to move closer to him.
As for whether those people will obey, he can't control.
The only help he could offer was to throw a * on each side and clear the passage for them to come closer.
"I'm in charge of throwing*, and the others are around the sides to swim hard for me, and whether the big guy is dead or alive depends on God can't open his eyes. Brethren, get ready to disembark! ”
Black Bull has always won the hearts of the people in his own team, he himself is ugly, he is extraordinarily generous to others, and gradually won everyone's acceptance and trust, he does things neatly, and everyone is willing to obey the arrangement.
So the pirates jumped off the flagship and gathered around the paddle
The black bull climbed onto the paddle neatly, opened the half-empty ammunition box, and held the * in his hand to guard the sea.
On the big boat dozens of meters away on both sides, only two of the surviving pirates jumped off the ship, and the other three or four looked at the whirlpools and swimming sharks in the water, and did not dare to risk it and retracted into the cabin.
Hmph, gallless rats!
Everyone didn't stay, everyone arrived, Hei Niu ordered Ah Niu and Ah Si to row, and the other two people who came over from the boat could only get closer.
Nearly 600 meters, *there are eleven,* almost 60 meters with one*, in this bottomless water, whether it can rush through, is really uncertain.
However, looking at the sand bank that was outcropping from the water, the black bull no longer hesitated and threw two * ahead.
"Boom", two water columns burst on the water surface, startling the nearby fish.
"Hurry up!" The black bull turned in the direction where the two pirates swam from, and then, he quickly threw another *, and in the direction of the two people, the figure that was still undulating just now was gone.
Two more are missing.
Perhaps, those few choices are also right.
The black bull's face is really dark now, * is not very powerful, fried fish may be useful, for big guys, it is difficult to work. Now they have no way back at all, only forward, forward!
* Open the road, under the dense explosion, the distance of more than 100 meters from the flagship to the sand bank was soon reached, and there was only one * left in his hand.
Looking at the more than 400-meter-long sand embankment, Hei Niu felt powerless in the face of fate and helplessness in a desperate situation.
"Boom boom", I saw three agile black shadows running in front of me, throwing out reinforcements to both sides from time to time.
"Run, the helmsman will send someone to us!"
Black Bull's spirits were lifted.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" He kept urging loudly.
Finally, the two teams of people and horses converged, and it was too late to say hello, and continued to run in the direction of the beach.
Approaching the beach, the * on both sides had also been used up, and there were still forty or fifty meters to go ashore, and the line of more than twenty people was thirty or forty meters long. At the back of the procession, waves and whirlpools rolled up again, and the pirates did not dare to turn back, did not dare to stay, and fled for their lives.
On the beach, the companions of the Shark Gang were already taking cover on both sides, and dozens of guns were constantly firing into the water, occasionally throwing two *. A group of twenty-eight people, and when they set foot on land, there were twenty-five left.
The three pirates who fell last, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of companions, were dragged into the water by the long arms stretched out in the sea and disappeared without a trace.
Life is so fragile!
Seeing the tall figure of the helmsman, the black bull knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
It was the biggest blow the Sharks had suffered in decades.
Only twenty-two of the more than 200 elite pirates escaped. The bigger loss was the ship, only one of the twelve boats that came out could be used, this was most of the helmsman's family, and the weapons and supplies on the ship were all saved up little by little by him over the years.
Now, because of a moment of greed, all the hard work has been wasted. What's even more serious is that their more than 300 people have lost their way out, and their ships, supplies, and weapons are no longer able to support them to return to their nests.
Unless most of the men are left on the island, someone will be sent to send the big ship back to report the news, so that it is possible to evacuate safely.
In the face of a heavy blow, there was no joy or sadness on the helmsman's face, and it seemed that he had just lost a game of pai gow in the casino.
After all, there is hope. As long as there is hope, it is worth a Bo.
The helmsman reorganized the team, assigned men, set up camp, explored the way, guarded, hunted, and was orderly, and the steady majesty of being the leader for decades calmed the panicked hearts of the pirates.
Man Rudder led more than a dozen of his men to search along the beach, while the black bull, who had rested for a while, took over the task of exploring the dense forest, and the henchman Luo Yasu was shouting for the rearrangement of the camp.
"It's still here."
Four or five miles away, in the rocky beach, a hand holding the barrel of the telescope was put down, and Yongchang let out a sigh.
Before and after the arrival of the Shark Gang, they all fell into Yongchang's eyes, the cluster attack of the python giant crocodile, the roar of the sea monster, and the capsizing of the pirate fleet, as if the scene in a fantasy movie, was staged in front of his eyes.
It's a wonderful world!
