Chapter 1004: Is This Still Ending?
After secretly "assisting" the sailors in repairing the leaky bottom of the ship with the help of the "Confession", Fang Zheng went back to his room to rest, thinking that Katie's doom had come to an end.
But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.
The next morning, Fang Zheng woke up, but she didn't wake up naturally, but was woken up by the noise outside.
"Uh......... What happened? β
Hearing the quarrel, Hu Tao also rolled over and got up from the bed, rubbing his eyes. Fang Zheng shook his head, and then he reached out and pushed the door open, and walked to the deck. Then, Fang Zheng saw the captain holding a whip and slapping a thin sailor hard.
"You idiot! What did I tell you to do? You idiot!! Look what you've done?!! β
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Wait, why are you hitting someone! β
At this time, Hu Tao also walked out, and was immediately surprised when he saw this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and the captain also glared at the sailor, and then kicked him to the ground, and then sighed helplessly.
"This mercenary lady, you don't know the situation, this idiot was supposed to keep vigil last night, but he actually fell asleep! And now, we're being pushed off course by a current that doesn't know where it came from, to put it simply......... We are lost!! β
β¦β¦β¦ Meow meow??
Hearing this, Fang Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, and then he silently glanced at Katie who was standing next to him.........
Isn't this eldest lady's curse of bad luck not over yet?
"Off course? What's going on? β
At this moment, the other passengers also came over, and when they heard the captain's words, they were also shocked.
"Hey, can't you do anything? You should have a compass! β
"The compass was lost in the previous storm, and I have sent someone to find it, but I don't know if it is still on the ship........."
"Haaa......"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, and then she stepped forward.
"I know a thing or two about magic, and I might be able to help you........."
"Really? Great, Miss Mercenary!! β
The captain did not doubt Fang Zheng's words, there are indeed some mercenaries who can use some superficial spells, of course, they may not be as good as regular mages, but sometimes they can also work wonders. The captain himself has been traveling from south to north for so many years, and he has seen many mercenaries, so he was immediately happy when he heard the cute red-haired and double-ponytailed girl in front of him say that he knew magic.
"Could you please help us determine the location.........
"No problem."
For Fang Zheng, of course, this was no problem, she stretched out her hand, whispered a few words, and quickly determined the direction, and then the captain took the chart, compared it with the magic cast by Fang Zheng, and finally figured out where they were now, and then immediately turned around and headed towards their destination again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the matter was satisfactorily resolved, and then they returned to their cabinsβββ which had already been exhausted after the storm yesterday and the fact that it took half a day to repair the leakage at the bottom of the ship. At this time, the tossing almost made people have a heart attack, and everyone who had nothing to do went back to their rooms to rest.
"What a bad ........."
Back in the cabin, Hu Tao also muttered.
"It's not like I've never been on a boat before, but I've never seen anything like it, hey......... It's so weird. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing Hu Tao's self-talk, Katie shuddered for a moment, then lowered her head and said nothing. It's just that Fang Zheng has already seen that the little guy has almost shrunk into a ball at this moment.
The rest of the way was fine, although the atmosphere in the cabin was a little melancholy, but after Fang Zheng made the grilled fish and fish soup, it still made everyone relax a lot, maybe it was not delicious, but it was quite pleasant to be able to eat grilled fish on the boat and look at the endless sea.
By the way, all the fish were caught by walnuts, and none of them were caught.
It can be seen that this is also a matter of luck.
After eating the fish soup, everyone stayed in the cabin to rest and chat. It's just that Katie obviously has no interest in chatting, or the eldest lady has begun to use her powerful stealth ability again, and a few people feel that they can't find Katie's person after chatting. But fortunately, this eldest lady doesn't move her nest, as long as she finds the right place to take a look, she can be caught out.
Soon, as the sun sets, the bright red sun slowly sets below the horizon, and the whole world begins to gradually darken, and this dull day is coming to an end.........
"Bell Bell Bell Bell !!"
The shrill sound of the bell broke the silence of the ship, and at the sound of this sudden sound, Fangzheng, Kurumi, and Hu Tao jumped to their feet, and Katie raised her head like a frightened hamster, and looked around uneasily, and it was not long before the sailor's shouts pierced the entire cabin from the outside.
"Pirates!!"
"Bang!!"
At the same time, as if to prove his words, there was a dull explosion, and everyone felt the hull tremble slightly, and then someone shouted.
"The cargo hold has been hit, it's on fire, come and put out the fire!!"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and then rushed out of the cabin again.
When Fang Zheng and his party came to the deck again, they saw a pirate ship biting tightly behind the side of the ship, and cannonballs were fired from time to time, flying towards them. Although most of the shells did not reach the target due to their lack of range, a few shells hit the hull of the ship and ignited a raging fire.
"Extinguish the fire! Fire suppression! Damn it, shoot back! Hurry up and fight back! Over there, I'm aiming for a hit!! β
The captain was almost mad at this time, and while directing the sailors to put out the fire, he strode up to the cannon, filled it with a cannonball, and then aimed at the pirate ship in the distance.
No one noticed that at this moment, Fang Zhengze was standing not far behind the captain, her fingers trembling in the air invisibly, outlining a series of magic runes, and then the mysterious power quietly entered it along the barrel of the cannon.
"Damn bastards, go die!"
The captain shouted, then he pulled hard, and the next moment, with a loud "bang", the cannonball whistled out of the barrel and flew towards the pirate ship in the distance.
However, no one noticed the dark red that seemed almost invisible attached to the cannonball.
"Boom!!"
However, the next moment, everyone saw the pirate ship in the distance suddenly explode, and the flames rose into the sky, and the whole ship was completely torn apart as if it had been hit by a missile.
Seeing this, even the captain himself was stunned, and the others were also dumbfounded, and after a while, they suddenly cheered loudly.
"Captain, you're amazing!"
"One shot hit their ammunition depot, not the captain!!"
Obviously, everyone thought that the captain's previous cannonball hit the ammunition depot on the pirate ship, which directly caused the explosion to become like this. And the captain himself widened his eyes, slapped himself a few times, and then grinned proudly.
"Hahaha, Goddess bless, this is Goddess bless! This time ashore, I invite all of you to the Pipe Tavern! Have a good time, everyone! For this shell! β
"Captain, Captain............!!"
However, before the captain's words could be spoken, another sailor hurried over.
"What's wrong? What happened again? β
"Vortex βββ!!"
The next moment, the sailor shouted enough words to make everyone's scalps tingle.
"The maelstrom, on the channel ahead of us, there is a maelstrom!!"
"What ?!!"
Hearing this, the captain's face suddenly changed greatly, he pushed away the sailors beside him, rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and then raised his binoculars to look into the distance.
The next moment, his face suddenly turned pale.
And Fangzheng, who was not far away, helplessly stretched out his hand to cover his face.
Is there an end to this?
