Chapter 61: Ambush
A cry of pain from the silvertip shark followed.
"We ...... Did it work? ”
"Sounds like a lot of ...... solved"
Barbossa stood beside the boat and looked into the distance, but he thought the cry was strange...... Seems to be a lack of qi?
"Goyle, throw a scarlet roe, throw it on time!"
"Roger!"
Goyle is a well-known pitcher in Esola Bay, and is said to have repelled an entire shipload of pirates by throwing a javelin on a small boat without a launcher, and although he himself was hit by several arrows and fell in a pool of blood, this powerful throwing ability alone is jaw-dropping.
As for the scarlet fish, it comes from a strange fish that contains a luminescent substance in its body, the scarlet fish. The fish spawns in a strange way, either producing thousands of eggs a day and producing them for a year, or simply not moving for months. Its eggs are similar to those of a cannon, and when exploded, a pale pink luminescent substance will float on the surface of the sea, which is a rare "biological" lighting method in the sea.
"Don't you let the boss do this kind of thing? He's a mage, alas......"
"Idiot! This kind of thing has to alarm the boss, is your mind full of seawater! The captain scolded, "Don't you know that the magic of a mage is limited? ”
"The captain knows so much...... crew muttered quietly.
"It's common sense, fools, watch more and learn more like I do! Remember! to be a captain! Otherwise you'll be running the deck for the rest of your life! ”
During the conversation, Goyle threw several packets of scarlet fish eggs in succession, landed accurately more than forty meters away, and exploded on the fish corpse. Illuminated by the pool of blood, the light took on a intense crimson color.
By the light, you can see that the silvertip shark with javelins stuck in its body is floating on the surface of the sea, and at a rough count there are at least a dozen of them.
Barbossa looked and didn't notice anything unusual.
"This is a big guy, enough to eat for a while, prepare the cable, pick a few people to tie it up."
"Yes!"
The first mate, Gibbs, picked out a dozen water-based ropes to tie around his waist, and before he could set off, Rorschach took the initiative to ask for help and tied himself up.
In fact, there were many people in the crew who were not convinced by Rorschach, after all, he reported his name and got on the ship, and there was no indication after that. But most of the crew members didn't say anything about Mu Yan's face, and now he took the initiative to stand up, which made many people look at him differently.
Nearly twenty people jumped down like dumplings and swam forward in the icy waters.
The night breeze was blowing, and it was the direction in which the ship was heading, and a strong smell of blood wafted from afar, pouring into Barbossa's nose.
He looked at the back of the crew fighting for the crossing, and the dwindling rope beside him, and suddenly frowned.
How could the smell of blood from the throwing of guns be so strong...... And is the javelin of this group of guys so accurate? Stabbing more than a dozen silvertip sharks to death at once?
The rich crimson in the distance gave him a bad association...... In that way, it is not like a penetrating injury, but a disembowel......
And the weird screams I heard just now......
Could it be said?
Almost the moment an idea popped up, the sea surface was shocked!
The first sailor to arrive at the fish carcass had just emerged from the water and wiped the blood from his face, and before he could show off, there was a sudden bang in his ears.
The belly of the fish exploded, and the flesh flew sideways, and a black shadow suddenly flashed in the blurred flesh.
"Wow lala~"
Strong fishy smell, slippery skin, moist body, short size...... Wielding a scimitar between a bone and a shell in his hand, he muttered inexplicably...... The most terrifying thing is that those light bulb-like blue eyes flashed with bloodthirsty excitement!
It was the last scene he saw.
Swish!
The cold light flashed, and the bone knife that was not sharp was particularly useful in the hands of the grayfin fishman, and the crew's round-eyed head flew into the sky in an instant.
The fish-man was drenched in blood, but he looked even more excited, and he put the scimitar in his mouth with a scream, and "plopped" into the sea again.
"Come back! Give me all back! ”
Barbossa shouted, turning his head to the side and shouting, "Quick, pull the rope and pull them all back!" ”
The shock came too quickly, and everyone realized the danger after the death of the crew leader, but by this time the belly of the fish had exploded one after another, and countless short figures pierced the night sky, and under the red light, the scimitar shone brightly, as if it was shining with a strong blood light.
"Retreat! Turn around and go back! ”
Shami shouted.
In the water, they are not at all the opponents of this group of fish bubbles, and the other party is as dexterous as loaches!
No, they're just loaches!
The crew scrambled to turn around, but in the blink of an eye they were caught up, how could they possibly swim past this group of creatures with webbed feet and born to live in the water!
The sailor who fell at the end of the line felt the sound of wind in his ears, and subconsciously jumped to the left, but he was still a step too late, and his shoulder was struck, and a deep hole was cut.
Fortunately, the strength of the fish-man is average, otherwise with this momentum of jumping, his arm would have been removed.
But the next scene made him even more desperate!
The fish-man who plunged into the water suddenly jumped up from it, the blade flashed, and the life-saving rope was cut with a "brush".
The traction disappeared abruptly, a wave crashed, and the crew was instantly several meters away from the Jackdaw.
"Rope, my rope! Not ......"
For a moment, despair overwhelmed him with the sea, his hands and feet were cold, and his mind went blank.
At this moment, there was a cry in my ears
"Hold on!"
The panicked crew followed the sound and looked over......
It was Rorschach who had cut his rope with his backhand and was swimming towards him.
"Hold on, I'll save you!"
"Save me, save me! Rorschach! ”
As if reassured, the crew shouted as they pulled out the dagger on their waists and gritted their teeth to stare at the water.
This scene was seen by the others, Shami looked at the dark shadow that was constantly approaching him under the water, and the blood surged into his head, and he also took the short knife in his mouth and cut the rope with his backhand.
"Shami! Are you crazy! ”
Gibbs scolded angrily: "Lao Tzu won't go back, fight with them!" ”
With that, he turned back and swam in the direction of Rorschach and the lonely.
The others froze and stopped, slowing down even the person closest to the boat.
", this TM hasn't arrived in the Moby Dick Islands yet, what kind of bird is it!"
"I'm not going back!"
"Fuck the fish bubbles!"
One by one, the crew cut the rope and swam back, and for a while the crowd began to gather again, a sign that made the fishman hesitate.
On the boat, the others were angry when they saw this scene.
"Damn, what are these guys doing?"
"Are they crazy?"
"Shut up, idiots!" Barbossa couldn't help but curse, and then shouted to the deck:
"Slow down! Slow down Lao Tzu! The right rudder is full, and the hull of the ship is turned sideways! Throw the escape boat at them, planks too, quick! From now on, no one is allowed to disembark! You're going to die, you know!? ”
"Slow down! Sideways! ”
"Full rudder right!"
The crew sprang into action.
Not far away, the belly of the fish exploded one after another, and at least fifty fishmen holding scimitars jumped out of front and back, with gray fins, blue gills, and rotten scales, the highest half a person was tall, and the shortest was no more than one, but all of them were fierce and vicious, with a mouth full of wow, and although the body was slippery, there were a lot of intestines and internal organs hanging on the scales.
They were very rampant at first, but when the crew gradually gathered and formed a circle with weapons, the situation changed instantly, and they simply formed a large circle, and they did not dare to come forward.
The two sides soaked in the water, and just like that, you stared at me and I looked at you, and the sound of the breaking waves of the Jackdaw turning around was in your ears.
The huge figure slowly turned, stopped moving away from the battle, and began to move closer to this side.
The crew was also being pushed by the tide and slowly approached the big ship, the panic in their eyes gradually disappeared, and their eyes became resolute.
After a brief confrontation of several minutes, the fish-man seemed to sense that something was wrong, and the tallest fish-bubble became impatient and dived into the water with a thud.
It was as if it were a signal, and the fishmen swept into the sea in unison, shooting from the bottom of the sea like torpedoes.
"Up!"
Rorschach shouted, and dived into the water first.
