Chapter 1000: Keep going

The so-called "Ship Hunting Ground" is a sea area outside of Kadein Island with moderate water temperature and abundant species. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe sea temperature here is quite comfortable, and the bottom of the sea is not too far from the surface of the sea, so you can soak up the abundant sunlight, which is necessary for the abundance of products. We all know that when plants and microorganisms grow well, herbivores will gather more and more. The more herbivores there are, the higher the food chain will slowly gather. It's called the ecosphere. Similarly, because it is far away from the mainland area on both sides of the Tatsu Sea, it is inaccessible, and there are no national forces that will come here to regularly clear the sea monsters that inhabit it, and gradually, this place has become a paradise for these sea monsters.

Of course, for the large sea beasts that live at the top of the marine food chain, everything that passes by them is their prey, whether it's a boat or an ordinary sea creature. All the ships that pass here are like lambs walking in the dark forest surrounded by wolves, and whether you are a pleasant goat or something else is only up to the result.

Fortunately, it has been proved that whether it is an old driver like the Jackdaw and the Centaur, or a promiscuous intruder like the Qiyao Aurora, they are all giant beasts of the wilderness disguised as lambs, but can hunt wolves as prey. However, the "wolf pack" belongs to the wolf pack, and the obviously prepared, organized, and planned attack like the one before is another matter. When the three ships randomly found an island and reef to stop and rest, Lu Xi called the other two captains over again.

"If you want to go to the island of Kadein to attend a pirate meeting, or even to go on a pilgrimage, this is the way to go. Whether you can break through here or not is directly related to your strength...... Or, only if you can break through this ship hunting ground will you have the qualifications to board the island of Kardein. That's what Captain Centauri, the famous "Broken Monk", or "Pirate Priest" Uruki said to Lu Xi.

But what's the practical point of going up? There's never going to be one or two pirate grandmasters on that island, or a pirate guild's treasure trove or something, as long as you can climb it, they'll teach you a little bit of arcane tricks, give you some artifacts or something. ”

It can be seen that Lu Xi's question should still have very obvious malice, but the other party should not be able to hear it, and continued to answer in a natural tone without changing his face: "The people who can go to the island are all strong people who have proven their strength on the ocean, and they will definitely be famous!" When recruiting crews, you will meet talents, heroes from near and far will also come to vote, and if you meet peers when grabbing prey, you can usually have priority. In addition to his own pirate flag, he is also entitled to hang a black flag with a sword and skull on the mast, which is the highest honor for a pirate! ”

…… Honor? Pirate? Well, what a subtle adjective!

"Don't look so surprised! Dear Lords! "Baron" Roland Dixiu touched his hair a little ashamedly, and said slowly: "Although we are pirates who kill people and compete for wealth, most of the time we are still very vain. Everyone who runs to the sea to find a way to survive is either a poor person who really can't survive, or they are seeking a kind of excitement and a kind of vanity. A pirate who is qualified to fly a black flag means that he has made his mark on this sea! In addition, being eligible to participate in the conventions held by several pirate kings will also be able to enjoy more resources and occupy a competitive advantage in the future industry status...... Well, with the wisdom of an adult, you should understand, right? ”

Yes, if an industry does not have a conference and organizational organization to restrain its basic code of conduct, the entire industry will definitely die out because of vicious competition...... That's weird! You're pirates! Those pirates who kill people and sell stolen goods for money, drunk and dreaming of death! Are you really ready to do this promising industry seriously on the spot? Do you already have industry norms, five-year development plans, and are you thinking about how to cultivate and expand the market?

“…… I've heard that there's a pirate guild or something like that. Why, that place is not only responsible for selling stolen goods and emergency contact, but also responsible for formulating industry norms, delineating the scope of business, setting a minimum wage, plus helping pirates to form unemployment mutual aid unions or something, right? Lu Xi couldn't help but be amazed, but then he expressed deep doubts about the future of this world: "If it's true, then I must say that it is not strange at all that the future red flag will fly first in the pirate world!" Hey, so that one day in the future, when the ruling class begins to counterattack - and I believe that this day will certainly come - will not there be ample evidence that the Bolsheviks are lumpenproletarians, the dregs of society? When will the day of the great harmony of the world come? ”

Well, such a deep worry about the future world can probably only be understood by Lu Xi himself. Anyway, everyone could only look at Lu Xi with confused eyes, especially those new partners and pirates who were not very familiar with him, none of them knew what was right.

Of course, the wind that was too familiar with Lu Xi only sighed helplessly, and then said to the two captains: "In other words, the organizers of the pirate union are actually those pirate kings, as well as you famous pirates?" ”

"No, no, no, the so-called pirate union in the city of Tatuga is, to put it bluntly, nothing more than an intermediary set up by those black market merchants for us to launder money, sell stolen goods, and have some external connections. In fact, the great merchants of Neosfia, the coastal city-states of Sosnes, and the small kingdoms of Cape Storm have all hired us to attack our rivals. In this way, a man standing in the shadows" cracked monk Uruki showed a sneering expression, and said slowly: "We are all a group of pirates, and we are just a real cooperative relationship with those people...... There's no way the Rausch union on Tatuga can restrain our behavior. ”

"But the sad thing is that we always call ourselves lawless and free outlaws, but to put it bluntly, we just put gold on our faces. The unspoken rules between the overlords of the side who are recognized as the 'Pirate King'...... This has become the rule of the sea! There must be rules in everything we do, even if it is us pirates who are regarded by the world as wicked. Roland Dixiu pretended to smile in a chic manner, but unfortunately the two front teeth that were knocked out by Lim made his smile particularly obscene: "And Kadein Island is the place where the pirate kings meet and negotiate and decide these unspoken rules." Of course, in order to ensure the fairness of the meeting, all the pirates who landed on that island, even if they had a vengeance, would never be allowed to do anything on the island! This is the most recognized iron law on this sea! That's why, when we're not in meetings, we, the pirates, occasionally run over there to rest and recharge. ”

"Rest? Supply? That is, there is already a town on it? Lu Xi looked at the islands with more and more obvious outlines on the horizon, held his chin, and asked with interest.

"No, no, no, of course not! It is still a very pristine island, but there is only a stone hall for meetings. In such an environment where all the open seas are hunting grounds for ships, how can there be serious merchants and citizens entering and leaving? The former nobleman and current pirate hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's just that Cardine Island, we don't seem to be big here, but after going up, it's not the same thing at all." Not only is it incredibly large, but the landscape is varied, with primeval jungles, meadows, rivers, lakes and mountains, and a wealth of flora and fauna, even mines. Even if there are no villages and towns, with one pair of hands, you can fully replenish it. ”

"But every time you want to enter the island, do you need to fight with the sea tribe and the sea beasts? Judging from the situation just now, the intensity of this battle is not low! If it's for supplies, it's going to have to be a big battle...... Well, I suppose a pirate like you who can get out of the way shouldn't do this kind of loss-making business, right? ”

"Or is your so-called ship hunting ground actually a fairly large Black Sea sphere of influence?" Tempest added, "The Pirate Kings and the Black Sea Alliance, let them be responsible for protecting Kadin Island and cleaning up those who are not qualified to land on the island?" ”

"How is this possible? The Black Sea and those of us who catch the sea on the water have never been all the way...... Well, maybe some of the enlightened Black Sea is more able to listen. We'll also help each other with the smuggling, give them some contraband, and even the pirate guild in Tatuga City has a part of those guys, but ah, most of the Black Sea are fanatical lunatics and can't communicate at all! Even if it does, it's a big battle! "Monk Rolandy.

The ordination monk Uruki arrived: "...... Those Black Sea are fanatical believers who have been brainwashed by the evil and extreme teachings of the Bloodthirsty Lord, believing that brutally killing the enemy is the true meaning of battle honor. Without enemies, they will make enemies alive, more cruel and ferocious than the orcs, and the most notorious enemies on the sea. Although we are pirates, we have not yet fallen to the point of being in the same league as the followers of the Demon God. ”

"However, the truth is that the Black Sea has appeared, and so have the sea beasts they are driving." Lu Xi shrugged.

The two pirate captains looked at each other and exchanged a look that perhaps only they could understand, and Roland said, "...... We are also wondering that this area of sea and route has already belonged to us pirates since Goldenbeard Drake killed the seven Black Sea Naga kings. In addition, in the past few years, with the joint clean-up of those mermaid lords, the Black Sea people have already been beaten into lost dogs......"

"Wait, you just said? Cooperate with the mermaid lords' joint cleanup? Lu Xiqi said.

"yes...... Hehe, didn't you say it below? Don't look at us as pirates, but we still often take on some serious outside jobs through the pirate union. The pirate captain smiled, "Among them, the joint clearance mission sent by the Atlantis city-state is the most profitable...... Those mermaid lords were so generous when they paid their bills, they weren't gold coins, but precious corals, underwater gems, pearls, or something! ”

"Yes! If there is a way to send it to Neosfia to sell, then you don't have to be scraped by the pirate union, and you can not open for three years if you make a profit! Uruki also nodded in agreement: "The mermaid lords are all good customers, much more sincere than the group of Neosfia profiteers who never pay the final payment!" May the goddess bless the merfolk lords with good health and slay the profiteers of Neosphia with a bolt of thunder! ”

…… Well, it seems that the sea here is also quite a dynamic world! And it's really full of visual sense.

"In short, the current Black Sea forces are not as good as before, and they will basically operate in areas further north, or a little west, let alone run to Kadein, and they will not even dare to cross Tatuga. Also, did you see the black flag on the bow of the ship? It was actually made of the velvet of a plant on the island of Kadein, and it had some mysterious power. When ships flying the black flag sail through the hunting grounds of Kadein Island, they are basically not attacked by sea monsters. And it's summer again, and the sea monsters basically don't act in this kind of place. ”

"The reason why I sent the flag warning just now was actually just to remind you casually. I'm afraid that there will be any fish that will slip through the net or something, and besides, the sea conditions here are indeed very complicated, and it is easy to run aground if you are not careful. "Uruki Road.

"What he said was true." Miss Lori, who is best at communicating with animals and has a knowledge of naturalism, said: "In addition to ships, the main hunting objects of these Sea Kings and Sea Kings are those large animals, such as whales, large squid, and so on. More than 80 percent of the large animals in Chenhai will go to the deep sea to give birth in July and August, which is the hottest time, which also provides them with abundant food. Attacking ships is risky, even for Sea Emperor-class super sea beasts. They're not stupid, and of course they understand that. ”

Miss Witch's meaning is very simple, even if she is a sea emperor with outstanding strength, she also knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Compared to ships equipped with weapons and with masters at the helm from time to time, large whales and large squid are soft persimmons. If it's just for hunting, the Krakens who already have rudimentary intelligence don't have to take such a meaningless risk - just like the stupid humans back home who are arguing about who is better than the tiger or the lion, who is the best tiger or the bear, etc., but it's actually quite boring. The reason why those kings of all beasts are so wild is just to survive and hunt, so why risk injury or even death to take another tough opponent of the same weight?

Except, of course, when snatching a wife......

From this point of view, nature has shown that the mouth below is actually more important than the mouth above.

Lu Xi's thinking turned in another direction very routinely, and the little friend who had long been accustomed to this point simply ignored him and continued to discuss.

"In short, according to the two captains, the open sea of Kadein Island is quite ...... at this time of year Well, calm, theoretically it should be unlikely that the attack of the sea beasts, not to mention these obviously organized bandits of the Black Sea. After Lu Xi, the wind, which naturally has the command of the team, said to everyone: "Then, now I hope everyone can express their opinions frankly." We, do we want to move on? ”

Of course, Lim didn't have any opinions, she was where Lu Xi was, and the elf girl Nicole held her cheeks and frowned and thought seriously: "It's okay to move forward, at least for now, the unexpected situation we encountered has not posed a threat, and everyone has no casualties......"

If there was no one, the two pirate captains would have hugged each other and cried and fainted in the toilet. Naturally, there were no casualties on the Qiyao Aurora, but the two of them had already lost half a tube of blood, injuring at least a third of the sailors.

"It doesn't matter, even if it's broken, according to common sense, you can continue to move forward and fight, as long as you are careful, it won't sink. I brought down the madman dean with two wrecked ships, and they both survived to the end. Lu Xi comforted the other party sincerely, but changed to a desperate look like a mourning exam, plus an almost tragic smile.

"Well, the captains are still very adventurous." Lu Xi clapped his hands: "Those who can mix up on this sea are really pure men and real men!" ”

“…… Two, two, if you really want to move forward, please keep your spirits up. After leaving the ship hunting ground, you will pass through the maze of ocean currents and the inferno of ice and fire...... There are no sea monsters there, but the danger is far higher than the former, and even the first-class navigators and boat operators, and even the mermaids, are quite likely to suddenly wipe out. "Captain Uruki is so authentic.

"I see what you mean. Rest assured! "Although your words have no construction point at all, it is still your job to open the road and step on the mines in front anyway. If you try to escape through the complicated sea conditions, I will sink you on the spot! Tempest gave the two pirate gentlemen a sunny smile and a creepy look as he said to the two professionals next to him, "So, what about you?" Professor Yavaru, and Professor Jones? So far, we have encountered unexpected situations that we have never imagined, and although it can only be regarded as a thrill, it does not mean that we will all be as relaxed as this time in the future. So, Professor, I would like you to judge by your own professionalism whether we must enter the island of Kardein? ”

"Very necessary! Although we only have seven treasure maps, we don't have a complete picture of it...... But based on the sea conditions, the coordinates and the records of the surrounding ocean currents, Kadin Island must be the destination! Present, or the most unbeatable Professor Yavaru on the entire ship (yes, even little Kalman has learned a few little tricks of self-defense, and it really doesn't have a big problem to clean up five or six herbivore professors), but at this time he was quite determined: "And considering Goldenbeard Drake's status as the Great Pirate King back then, it is reasonable to hope that there will be a peer who will inherit his treasure in the future." ”

Of course, this may be speculation and not everything. However, treasure hunting is like this, and it has to start where the possibilities are greatest. Professor Jones, a handsome uncle who was both elegant and heroic, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Wind, I have encountered many dangers so far, and if I am willing to participate in this event, I am ready to be aware of all possible consequences."
