Chapter 60: Clues

Sailing at sea is actually quite boring, after all, she has to look at the constant sea level every day, and she has to guess her temper and worry about whether she will survive.

Even if there is a sudden surprise, there is a strong frightening component in it, such as a tsunami, a storm, the stimulation is exciting enough, but the slightest carelessness will be gone, and many people will die in this sudden stimulation.

Fortunately, most of the crew members are also accustomed to this lonely life, especially when Mu Yan Energy constantly takes out fresh water, vegetables, fruits and fresh meat, this day is already much more comfortable.

However, Barbossa is an experienced captain after all, and he knows that freshness is the magic weapon to maintain vitality, so he limited the ration of sailors in the name of "limited resources", even though Mu Yan told him many times how much he wanted there, he still insisted that everyone could only consume a certain amount of fresh ingredients every day, and as for meat, lazy people who didn't work that day were not eligible to get it.

In this way, there is finally a hope, and the enthusiasm of the crew has also been mobilized.

The Jackdaw did not recruit a technician from the magic group to control the power furnace, first, Andrew made an obstacle and told Mu Yan that all the personnel were transferred to the military for further study, and he couldn't come back for a while, and secondly, Mu Yan didn't have that plan - the power furnaces of the Storm Fang were all imported from Jialan, as a man backed by the Villefort Chamber of Commerce and the Silver Candle Society, how could he still use that grade of power furnace......

The Jackdaw is now equipped with a state-of-the-art power furnace from the Silver Candle Society, which even the most advanced Stormfang technicians can't read, and is controlled by the elemental golems summoned by Mu Yan.

The password was set up in simple Kragon, and Barbossa could just yell into the power room if he needed anything.

State-of-the-art power furnace, the finest big ship, the best captain. The superposition of the three is not an arithmetic of 1+1+1=3, and at the current speed of the Jackdaw, it will take at most a month to leave the offshore range.

But things weren't destined to go that way.

……

On the fourth day of the voyage, there was light rain.

The sailors who had nothing to do lay naked on the deck in the rain and bathe, mocking each other's second size, swear words and meat jokes were endless, and even a few people had their brains open, asking the boss why he didn't bring dozens of women on the ship in the first place if he was so powerful...... He was then kicked in the ass by Barbossa, grunting several times and warning him not to joke around.

Only then did the sailors realize Mu Yan's identity as a mage, but he was just because he was too peaceful and forgot about the size.

They forgot, but the always cautious captain didn't.

At noon, the rain stopped, and the sailors, who had had had enough of it, began to clear the deck, retrieving the nets that had been sprinkled on the stern.

"Today's harvest is good, yo, there is a sail soul fish."

Some crew members sighed.

"This is really rare, is Mia also protecting us?"

"Isn't this sea covered by the woman of Calypso?"

"Whoever covers it, anyway, now the boss covers me!"

The crew let out a burst of laughter.

Barbossa passed by, glanced at the black and white triangular fish bouncing in the net, and said nothing, but limped back to the cabin.

"Knock Knock"

"Enter."

"Boss."

Barbossa's face was slightly solemn.

"The guys have caught a dozen sail soul fish, we might have to be careful."

"What's wrong?" Mu Yan put down the book in his hand.

"The sail soul fish is rare, but it is alert and sensitive. There are only two possibilities for them to appear in large numbers, one is that something was found on our ship, and the other is that someone is driving them away......" After a pause, he continued with some hesitation: "And...... In my experience of going to sea, whenever the sail soul fish is embellished in the stern of the ship, it is a warning that the ship is going to be sunk. That's why some people say that the sail soul fish can smell the breath of death......"

"Not so mysterious, my captain."

Mu Yan smiled.

In fact, he also found this school of black and white fish with a body that resembled a spinnaker, and the reason was, as Barbossa guessed, "someone is chasing".

It's not a man who is chasing them, it's a group of silvertip sharks.

The latter's purpose was not to sail the soul fish, but to the Jackdaw.

As for why the silvertip shark chased after the Jackdaw...... It was precisely because of the warm nutrient solution soaked in the Jackdaw's forced construction period to be extended, among which was the dark violet, which attracted the silvertip shark.

Needless to say, this is a "little trouble" that Director Andrew gave him. Presumably, if he had made up four times the final amount, this taste would have been neutralized by other potions.

"Of course, we have to be careful." Mu Yan said: "In addition, let them move the launcher of the gun to the stern of the ship, there may be a battle to be fought." ”

"Yes, boss."

Barbossa limped away.

……

The sun sinks in the west, the sea level is gilded with a brilliant golden glow, and the junction of water and sky is dyed fiery red by the sunset.

Even after watching the sunset over the sea countless times, every sailor will be distracted by the shocking scenery in front of them.

But the shock is followed by endless loss and fear of the unknown.

Because, the night fell.

Tonight's double moon is obscured by dark clouds, and the blue sea during the day is now dark and deep, and the white foam rolled up by the waves is like white teeth and hideous smiles in the dark, revealing a terrible meaning.

There is only the whistling sound of the waves, and there is only one ship on the endless sea, which seems very small.

A lonely, negative atmosphere spread rapidly across the deck.

"Hey, boys."

Barbossa's prosthetic leg thumped across the deck.

"Light the torches and keep your eyes open to the stern, there's something following our ship!"

“Aye!”

The deck, which had been a little bleak, suddenly boiled, and people came and went, making a noise, and suddenly drove away the chill brought by the night.

The sailors huddled in the stern, adjusted the angle of the launcher, and aimed the spearhead scale gradient at different distances from the stern.

"Captain, do you need to rope the throwing gun?"

"Fool, the other party is not the legendary Maiengrand, or some big fish, do you want to climb up the rope to it and blind it?"

The crew laughed.

The legendary monster with twelve giant tentacles, it is said to be the pet of Calypso, the god of the sea, and its eyes are the size of a ship. It has always lurked in the deep sea, never appeared, and only came out when humans tried to invade Sea Clan territory. The people of the coast have made up countless situations in which ancient humans have fought against it, nothing more than what Barbossa called to climb the rope like an ant biting an elephant and launch a fierce attack that is not afraid of death.

The sailor, who had been lectured, blushed and took the rope back up.

It didn't take long for the distant waters to start to get calmer.

"It's a silvertip shark!"

The sharp-eyed ones took advantage of the water to see what it was, and in the dim moonlight, a bright fin flashed.

"Silvertip sharks? No wonder I caught so many sail soul fish today......"

"Sure enough, they came with me, and when they came into range, they would release the arrows!"

"Yes!"

Shami pulled out the scimitar, laid the blade flat, and rested on the rope.

The shrill cries of fish in the distance are distracting.

Seeing the bright silver enter range, Barbossa shouted

"Put!"

With a bang, Shami cut the rope, and the sound of breaking the air sounded one after another.

Woohoo

Dozens of sharp throwing guns were fired, and the sound of them entered the flesh, and the sea in the distance suddenly added a rich dark red.
