Chapter 21 The Beak of the Black Passerinean Crow
No wind zone, day 5.
The voyage of the Giant can almost be described as a life of life, and as time went on, everyone's spirits became more and more tense, and even Qiu Bai was not completely exempt...... This is evidenced by the fact that the frequency of his mouth cannon has dropped dramatically.
If Peibo's incident had happened today, he would definitely not have been able to show the same momentum of persuasion and education as before.
And now, even Qiubai doesn't like to talk much, you can imagine what the situation of the crew is.
The boat is like "dead", and if it is not necessary, there will definitely be no one to say a word, and the silence between people creates an atmosphere called "suffocation".
Regarding Peibo, Qiubai also gave some brief explanations to Captain Grisha after finishing his work, including his origins and so on...... Theoretically, Grisha had the final say in everything on this ship, and the captain's will could not be violated during such a voyage.
Unless someone wants to get a ...... But on this ship, that could not have happened, because here only Grisha had the seafaring knowledge that everyone could trust.
Without him, everyone has to finish the game.
As for Qiubai's statement that he wanted to directly "manage" the bear, Captain Grisha agreed without thinking about it, in fact, he would prefer to use a more civilized and secure way to deal with the bear of unknown origin similar to "throwing it directly into the sea", but since Qiubai is willing to take it, let him take it first.
Even if they know the ins and outs, it is difficult for ordinary people to regard the fur people as equal intelligent creatures, and humans often only regard them as talking animals, and they cannot go beyond the category of "beasts".
This attitude of overlooking other creatures is probably one of the fundamental reasons why the fur people are hostile to humans.
And Grisha agreed to Qiubai's request on a deeper basis...... After these days passed, he seemed to have understood that Qiubai was not a simple person, and certain cognitions made his attitude more cautious.
Qiubai smashed the raging bear to the ground, of course, the captain could understand.
So that's it for the time being, and now Grisha just wants to stop getting into trouble, as long as the Giant can reach the North Sea safely, everything is easy to say.
Their experience in the past few days has definitely been "magnificent", and the most dangerous one happened a day ago, when the whole boat was so frightened by a huge sea king that passed through the bottom of the boat that they didn't dare to breathe.
Fortunately, the Giant had always been in danger, and now the days of such frightening were coming to an end, and according to the captain's estimate of the speed and range, they were about to leave the windless zone.
Grisha was definitely the most tired man on this boat, and he never rested after entering the windless zone.
Compared with the captain, Qiubai's state can only be described in three words, and at this time he started fishing again, fishing sincerely.
Although the difficulty level of doing this kind of work on the territory of the Sea King is an S, Qiubai has to do this...... Although the captain agreed to Qiubai's request, he refused to provide the bear with rations, and only offered a little fresh water.
In fact, in terms of a race like Peibo, they are much stronger than weak humans, and theoretically it is okay to starve for four or five days, but no one can control the hunger pangs.
Considering that Pei Bo has become a "bear of his own", even if he can't catch a fish, Qiubai still squeezes out a part of his food to feed the bear.
This behavior moved Pei Bo, he has completely changed Qiubai's image, as long as Qiubai doesn't talk much, he is definitely a "good person".
This kind of thinking...... It's really pitiful, Peibo is probably the first bear in history to suffer from Stockholm syndrome.
Of course, a more important prerequisite is that Qiubai tells Pei Bo that as long as he can master the navigation skills, he can return to Zhuowu at any time - according to Qiubai, humans cannot be trusted, and the glorious mission of "returning home" must be done by himself.
He wasn't exactly scaring the bear, you know, in some special auction houses, the reserve price of the fur clan was 700,000 Bailey.
In this world, human trafficking is still an absolute "sunrise industry" at this time, which makes people "rush to it", and there are countless practitioners.
Pei Bo left his hometown because of an accident, and returning to Zhuo Wu was a thought that went deep into his heart, and Qiu Bai was able to understand this, and he was really thinking about Xiong...... At this time, he probably forgot that if it weren't for Qiubai, he could have returned to his hometown at any time if he had the ability.
It has to be said that sometimes intelligent creatures are much easier to deal with than wild beasts, because they are often persuaded, instigated, and bewitched by specious words.
If you fool a bear, Qiubai is a bit overkill. Of course, as we all know, Qiubai definitely doesn't have any bad intentions...... Probably nothing bad.
At this time, Allen and Peibo, who are the first and second brothers, have already established a close relationship of "love for the same human bear", and if you want to find the most spiritual creatures on this ship, these two ten-year-old bear children are definitely at the top of the list.
"It's probably going to be out of the windless belt soon, and what are we going to do when we get to the North Sea." Ain, who had been standing behind Qiubai, asked.
Qiubai first lifted the hook and looked at it...... There must be nothing to gain, and if he really wants to catch something, it would actually be better to leave this job to Allen.
"There's always a way."
He turned his back to Ain and replied, if you can even pass through the windless belt, are you still worried about not being able to find your destination when you get to the North Sea?
"But......" Qiubai said as he threw the hook back into the sea.
"I always feel that our journey without wind will not end so easily."
It's not that he's looking forward to anything, it's just that there are "no dangers" along the way, which is too unrealistic.
It's a windless zone where everything can be buried.
Although what Qiubai said was the truth, it was good to keep this kind of thing in his heart, there was really no need to say it, and even if he said it, it shouldn't come from Qiubai's mouth.
Sincerely.
During the exchange between Qiubai and Ain, Captain Grisha was directing the four crew members to carry the stone dust for the last leg of the voyage out of the cabin, but the bag of sea stone dust was moved to the bow of the ship, and everything was normal so far.
But just as they were pouring stone dust into the funnel, an accident happened.
With a small but very abrupt sound, the throttle valve in the funnel that controls the flow rate of the stone powder was crushed by the sudden weight, and then the entire bottom plate of the funnel broke, and the stone powder was instantly dumped into the sea.
The movements of all the people on the deck froze all at once.
Qiubai, who was sitting on the side of the boat, turned around immediately after hearing the movement, so he happened to see the moment when the stone powder was sprinkled into the sea.
He immediately stood up, slipped the rod into Ain's hand, and quickly walked over to the captain's side.
"Captain, do you still have the stone powder?" Qiubai asked.
If there is still sea floor stone powder, then the funnel still has the value of repair...... Captain Grisha, however, shook his head with difficulty, "This is the last. ”
Considering the needs of the journey and the capacity of the cabin, as well as the fact that this thing itself is limited, the sea building stone powder brought by the captain is sufficient but not "more than enough", and the last bag is bound to support the Giant until it leaves the windless zone, but now......
Hearing the captain say this, Qiu Bai didn't know where to find a knife, and then slashed directly at the bow of the ship: the huge funnel that was raised high was instantly "separated" from the hull of the ship, and then it also fell into the seawater, raising a large splash.
Qiubai is losing weight for the ship, and it is a point to lose one point at this time.
"Captain, throw away everything that needs to be lost, and let everyone into the cabin."
"Huh?"
There is nothing wrong with the sudden situation that makes Grisha's brain a little insufficient, and the desperate situation makes people down...... No matter how good he is, he is just an ordinary person from the bottom in the end.
"We're going to run away." Qiubai added.
Next, everyone who has hands will go and rock the oars, and they will need to work as hard as they can.
Then, the Giant was about to leave the windless zone.
Right away.
