Chapter Seventy-Eight: Farewell and Landing on the Island
As night fell, the sailors went to the island to rest, and the Jackdaw docked on the shore.
At first, they feared that the ship would be attacked, until they saw their boss freeze a small patch of sea around the ship into an ice field, and the sirens who were glaring at them not far away had to leave in a huff.
The sirens were unable to go ashore, and they did not turn into legs when they touched land, as legend has said—and it seems that this was why David didn't show up all night...... He may have really gone to "hand over".
But this was only the conjecture of the crew after all, in fact, when it was about to get dark, David found Mu Yan, ended this escort job early, and sent him sincere wishes for his future journey.
In other words, Captain David ran away ahead of schedule.
Did he give up?
Mu Yan also asked, but after thinking about it, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Maybe it was his behavior in Scarlet Harbor that stimulated this guy, and he gave up the ambush in Bailang Bay and went to the next ring to continue preparing.
It's just that who cares.
……
Bailang Bay got its name because the nearby waters often roll in white waves. The reason for this strange phenomenon is that the Beluga Islands and Bailang Bay are almost parallel to each other, and both are located on the ridge of a narrow piece of land, like the two sides of a deep water tank, in which the sea water stirs back and forth, and over time a lot of foam will emerge.
Every month, there are intermittent seven or eight days of low tide in Bailang Bay, when most of the water rushes to the vicinity of the Moby Dick Islands, so that the water recedes several nautical miles away, revealing a vast shoal.
At the same time, the sirens will also retreat into the deep sea and will no longer come ashore to harass the boats, which is also a great opportunity for players to explore White Wave Bay.
Early the next morning, when the ice melted, the sea receded and the Jackdaw managed to run aground on the shore. At this point, everyone landed on the island with complete peace of mind and headed towards the depths of Bailang Island.
"Boss, do we really have to trust that guy?"
Barbossa looked back into the distance.
Although the ghost ship had disappeared before the tide went down, he still had lingering palpitations.
The latter devoured the fish-bound cargo ship of Fisher, and the image is still vivid.
"yes, your ship might seem more palatable to it."
Little Fisher suddenly burst into a strange sentence.
The captain glared at him fiercely, only to see the boy glaring back.
"Don't worry, although David is not telling the truth, his crew just can't get ashore, and of course, the ship can't either." Mu Yan smiled: "This is the blessing of the sea god, but also a curse, instead of worrying about that, it is better to think about how to solve the current predicament, we have more than four hundred people, my captain." ”
Hearing this, Barbossa rarely showed a wry smile that looked a little constipated......
Mu Yan really gave him a difficult problem and asked him to arrange for four hundred people to explore on land...... Is this work done by a human being?
He felt like a landlubber thrown into the water, and there were ten thousand kinds of discomfort at this time.
Away from the turbulent waters, the humid sea breeze, the familiar decks, masts, rudders, and the haunting sound of the crew running, he felt the blood flow quicken, his mouth parched, and he could not even speak, let alone face the darkness of the jungle.
The forest was deep and lush, like a big mouth, and he seemed to return to the feeling he had when he first faced the sea, just as helpless and as nervous.
Hell, how many years ago was that?
"Okay, okay, I won't force you." Mu Yan smiled and stopped teasing the poor old captain.
"Rorschach, come out and work! Now you're Captain Barbossa's deputy, dispatching everyone's work on land, and I need a map and a place to camp before it gets dark. ”
"Yes, boss."
Rorschach stepped forward, then counted the number of people under Barbossa's astonished gaze, divided the teams, and gave instructions one by one.
Thanks to the prestige he has established among the crowd in the past month, no one dares to disobey his orders, coupled with his vigorous and resolute style, it naturally gives people the feeling that "since this person is so confident, he must have two brushes".
A few minutes later, the task was assigned, and Rorschach divided more than 300 people into more than a dozen teams, each carrying the parchment scroll and drawing pen given by Mu Yan from different directions, each going deep into the jungle and cooperating with each other. The rest of the people cleared a vacant lot on the spot and stood by in place.
Hula walked most of the people, and the entrance to the jungle suddenly fell silent.
Barbossa couldn't help but sigh with emotion as she looked at Rorschach's terrifying appearance.
"There's a specialization in the arts, my captain."
Mu Yan winked at him.
"But why don't we get around here, or go straight to the Moby Dick Islands, or go to the islands?" He still couldn't help but throw out the question.
"Of course it's an expedition, Captain."
Mu Yan looked into the depths of the jungle, his eyes seemed to penetrate the forest, looking for something.
……
He couldn't explain what he was looking for to Barbossa, and the sudden stop wasn't on the fly, but rather on the path of the player who had completed the Bloody Rum questline
- At least that's what the guy said:
"Well, there are rules in the tea party, and you can't talk nonsense if you don't give money...... But for the sake of the face of our surnames 'Xia'......
"Anyway, I had enough of a thousand people and stayed on Mertanani Island for another week, and then the mission went smoothly......
"Is it difficult...... That's it. Ah, don't get me wrong, I mean it's going to be hard for other people, because they're too vegetable. ”
That's all the useful information, because the guy said "can't talk anymore, if you talk again, you'll have to charge money".
Originally, this series of work should have been completed last night, but after watching David and the tide recede together last night, he had already turned the whole island over, but he did not find any "clues"......
Not to mention clues, not even a single demonic beast will be found.
In order to prevent the same scene from happening again, he went to the bottom of the island, and there was still nothing.
So the question arises, why is it in vain?
If you think about it, there are only two possibilities:
One, I was deceived, and second, the time was not ripe.
The possibility of the former is very small, and as for the latter, there are also several situations, such as the so-called clues are a hint that is presented in stages, rather than being seen at a glance, or it does not happen at low tide, but only at high tide...... Or maybe the clue is a code that needs to be deciphered by special means......
Either way, it's not something that can be solved in a short period of time, and a carpet search is best at this time.
He began to rejoice that he had gone to sea with more than 400 people, and if there were few people, I am afraid it would have taken a lot of effort.
Four hours later, the crowd set out again, straight on,
This was also agreed between Rorschach and the troops marching in front of them, and if they did not encounter obstacles to turn back within four hours, the large army would move straight forward until they had set up camp through the woods, and had dinner ready for their return.
At the same time, he also had an extra torch burning wolf smoke cake in his hand, although it smelled a little bad, but the straight upward fluorescent green smoke would guide the direction of the other teams and avoid missing each other.
