Chapter 17: The Sleeping Sea Beast
The next morning, Imola arrived at the dock as promised, and she seemed to be very calm, but walked up to the deck silently, and ignored the passers-by along the way, as if she had something on her mind.
Imola came to the command room of the golden-bearded David, and threw the backpack on his shoulder onto the golden-bearded David's desk: "Alright, let's go quickly." There's a lot more to come. ”
"My Imola, don't worry, my sailors haven't come back yet, they always needed some life in such a paradise last night. Let's talk about what's next. The golden-bearded David pulled Imola to sit down at the table, spread out the charts and continued, "You see, here we are now, and the land of extreme cold must be like this." Do you think it's okay? ”
Imola seemed disdainful of this, and turned her head arrogantly and said, "Sailing is your business, and I am only responsible for finding the sleeping sea beast for you when I get there." ”
"Hehe, okay, then let's go." The golden-bearded David opened the hatch of the command room and said to the silverhead, "Silverhair, let's set sail." ”
"Yes, I'll do it, what about the remaining sailors who haven't returned?"
"Let them serve the pirates on this island of Tutuoga. Ha ha. After saying that, the golden-bearded David laughed out loud.
The morning sun was shining, and the Goldbeard was sailing towards the horizon with a sparkling eye. The Extremely Cold Land, a name that sounds intimidating, awaits the arrival of this group of warriors.
"Hey, Joey, look, what did I bring with me?" Silly Tu was very excited, and came to Joey's side with a fur coat of unknown animals in his hand.
"What is this? It seems to be warm. Joey subconsciously reached out and touched it.
"You don't even know this? This is the fur of a polar bear. ”
"Polar bears? Where did you get that? Is this thing warm? Joey continued.
"You don't even know a polar bear? I'm good, polar bears can handle any environment with poise, thanks to this thick coat. Its fur appears to be white, but it is actually transparent and hollow. Not only that, but it also has the function of being waterproof. Wear this gadget to make sure you can move freely in temperatures of minus tens of degrees Celsius. I have a few old friends in Tutuoga, haha, you know what a strange thing this island has. Silly Tu said with a high spirit.
"Are you going to give it to me?" Joey asked.
"Send ...... Sending you? Silly Tu didn't seem to expect Joey to say that.
"No, forget it, I don't expect you, I'll sleep first." After saying that, Joey turned his head and fell asleep.
Silly Tu suddenly felt very embarrassed, so he could only answer Joey silently: "Okay, then...... Then let's borrow it for a few days. Remember to pay it back. ”
Joey ignored him and left himself asleep. Seeing this, Silly Tu could only say that the fur coat was thrown on Joey, turned around, and muttered: "Hey, really, I don't know the hearts of good people." ”
In this way, the Goldbeard was speeding forward on the vast sea towards the extremely cold land of the north. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and they had come to the vicinity of the Extremely Cold Land.
"Imola, we've reached the Extreme Cold, where do you think this sleeping sea beast is?" The Golden-bearded David asked as he turned to Imola.
"You are so eager to know the whereabouts of the sea beast, you just want to know your future and end, don't worry, I will help you find it."
"Why do you say that this sea beast is in this extremely cold place but does not take advantage of this sea to swim to a warm place?" The Golden-bearded David seemed a little puzzled.
"This sea beast was a symbol of freedom in the ancient Eskis, and in their Inuit language it was called wandering, which means to be able to soar freely in the sea. That's why the ancient Eskimos called it a wandering monster. For them, this is their totem, protecting their peace. And the giant beast seems to have been accustomed to the climate here, but it can't adapt to it in a warm place. Imola replied.
"Hehe, weak creature." The golden-bearded David was so conceited that he felt that he would get what he wanted right away, so he turned around and urged the silverhead: "Hurry up and tell everyone to speed up, don't rub it off." ”
"Big brother, we are already very close to the extremely cold place, and now there are ice floes floating over the sea, it is difficult for us to judge the size of the ice floe underwater, and it is easy to bump into it if we are not careful, and now our situation is very dangerous." The silver-haired man was truthful and analyzed the current situation towards the golden-bearded David.
"I don't care about that, I just need to get to my destination quickly, and if there is any ice floe, I will blow it up with artillery fire. Keep going. ”
"Big brother, this ......." Yinfa was very helpless, and stopped talking.
"Are you crazy? If you fire at the ice floe, if the power of the cannon fire shakes the surrounding icebergs and causes a big collapse, not to mention you Goldenbeard David, even the wandering beast will be implicated. Don't you want to look for it anymore? Imola scolded the golden-bearded Davy for his vexatious play.
"Oh, Imola, don't get excited, I just want to get there soon. Okay, no kidding with you, I'll go out and command it myself. After saying that, the golden-bearded David got up and straightened his uniform, put on his sword, and opened the door with silver hair and went out.
The extremely cold place is indeed frozen, the sea is full of large and small ice floes, and you can vaguely see cliff-like icebergs in the distance, occasionally sliding huge ice blocks from above, slamming into the sea, causing huge waves. The white sky and earth reflect a dazzling brilliance in the sun, and people who will always dazzle can't open their eyes. The sailors pulled down the brim of their hats to scatter the white light that had been scattered. Because of the sudden drop in temperature, the sails and reins were frozen hard, and every time you wanted to pull the sail rope, you had to use torches to grill the rope up and down. The sailors sat around the fire in the cabins, and only a few sail-pullers could be seen shivering and working on deck.
Joey was fine, he was wrapped in the polar bear coat that Silly Tu had given him, and he was hiding warmly in the bed. Silly Tu trembled on the side, and kept muttering: "What kind of evil did I create to give you this clothes." Hey, I'm stupid. ”
"That's right, otherwise why would you call it a stupid butcher?" Ivey on the side chimed in.
Silly Tu slapped Ivy on the head and said, "It's all your fault, if you can hold back your urine for a while, maybe we will spend a gentle time with the beauties in Tutuo now." ”
"I... I... People have three urgency, what can I do? Ivy was at a loss for words.
"People have three urgency, but you are in a hurry." Silly Tu is still haunted.
"Hehe, you two, maybe something will happen to us when we get to the extreme cold, so you better save some strength to deal with the next thing. If it's cold, go over there and have a fire with everyone. ”
"Roasting fire? Cut, you're good, warm and warm, and want us both to suffer. Silly Tu said as he pulled Ivy into the crowd.
At this time, Imola was alone in the command room looking at the chart, only to see him open his palm, his thumb and index finger on the chart back and forth, and his mouth was reading words, as if he was measuring something. Suddenly, the silver hair rushed in and said anxiously: "Imola, we are blocked by the iceberg and we can't move forward. ”
"Hehe, that's right, tell the golden-bearded David to take the men and horses and get off the boat."
"Disembark?"
"The rest of the way was on our own foot. Let's go. With that, Imola pushed away her silver hair and walked straight out of the command room.
The golden-bearded David disembarked with his troops, leaving only a few sailors to watch from the ship. "How do we get there? Imola. ”
"The Wandering Sea Beast is not far from us, you see." As she spoke, Imola raised her right hand and pointed to it: "Behind the iceberg over there, I think there is a cave, and it should be the den of the wandering beast." ”
"Okay, let's go." Saying that, the golden-bearded David turned to his sailors and shouted, "Brothers, follow me forward, and find the behemoth with great rewards." ”
Perhaps it was because it was so cold, and the sailors just curled up and sparsely echoed the golden-bearded David. Seeing this, the golden-bearded David had no choice but to move forward.
The heavens and the earth in the extremely cold land are unpredictable, one moment the sun is shining, the sun is scattered on the ice, the eyes of the people are painful, and the other is the wind and snow, the wind blows up the ice and snowflakes and cuts the wounds on the people's faces. But the golden-bearded David did not intend to stop, and the troops struggled to move forward in the wind and snow. In the extreme cold, there was no day or night, the sun was always high overhead, and I don't know how long I walked, but anyway, the sailors began to look a little tired, pulling each other and walking forward with difficulty.
Suddenly, someone in the group shouted, and although the voice was a little faint, it was at least audible. "Oh no, someone has fallen."
"What?" Silverhair hurried to the team to inspect it. Medical Officer Ivy also ran over.
I saw a sailor with blue lips and a bloodless face, lying stiffly in the snow.
"What's wrong with him?" Silver Hair asked Medical Officer Ivey.
Ivy stepped forward to inspect it, shaking her head at the silver hair, "He's dead." ”
The news spread throughout the army in an instant, and everyone panicked and expressed that they didn't want to die in this extremely cold place.
Seeing this, the golden-bearded David quickly drew his sword and threatened the sailors: "Listen to me, hurry up and keep walking, otherwise I will open your throats one by one and let your blood be sprinkled on this extremely cold place." ”
"I don't want to die here, I'm going back to the Goldbeard." One of the sailors still grumbled, and turned back the way he had come.
I saw the golden-bearded David rush forward with a strong stride, and a sword stabbed him in the back, the sword was so sharp that it pierced his body straight and pierced through his chest. The sailor didn't have time to react, so he fell to the ground, and the blood slowly stayed for a while before condensing.
"Also~~~ there are ~~~ who ???" The Golden-bearded David yelled at the troops, as if his majesty could not be shaken.
"Big brother, look, there seems to be a cave ahead." At this moment, Silver Hair suddenly noticed that there was a cave ahead.
"Caves?" Imola looked forward to herself, picked up the map in her hand and looked at it again, "Could it be, is this the lair of the wandering beast?" ”
