Chapter 528: Pirates
Now that the wind is due east, it is possible to maintain a fast speed even without the use of the ship's own mechanical power system.
You can clearly feel the fast sailing boat breaking through Lang in the wind under the blowing of the wind, and hear the roar of Lang on both sides of the hull.
"I haven't seen any land yet!"
Sarah's most professional lookout was checking the situation ahead from the lookout at the top of the mast, but the news that she had returned was not a good one.
"How far is it?" Wang Jian asked Nami, who was already swimming next to Lang Liu, who was following them outside the boat. She is a mermaid, a dweller of the sea. Now that she has a bigger tank, she wants to stay in her bathtub. Like the dolphins that accompanied the boat, her pink figure loomed next to the hull.
"It should be close, but it's not too big." Nami was silent for a moment again in reply. She's using echolocation to determine the situation.
Wang Jian also knew that they had misunderstood, and when he heard the land, he thought it was a large island. Completely forgetting that the land on the ocean is likely to be a reef with a sharp corner on the surface of the sea. Under the erosion of the sea, even the best lookout may not be able to spot it quickly at a distance.
Immediately walked up to the bow of the boat and picked up a telescope to help find it.
"It's still a scary feeling." Xu Ling leaned over and whispered to him, only for him to hear.
"Huh?" Wang Jian looked at her suspiciously, saw that her face was a little pale, and asked him worriedly, "Are you seasick?" ”
Because of Xu Ling's noble background, I am afraid that in addition to yachting, transportation is mainly based on airplanes. I'm afraid I haven't come into contact with such a transoceanic class of sea vessels.
"It's not." Xu Ling shook her head, denied his worries, and said, "It's just that there is water everywhere like this, and it's scary to not see a little land at all." ”
Now they are surrounded by endless oceans in all eight directions, and there is no land at all. Even because there were no markers, it was not known if they were really moving forward, instead of standing still. Not to mention Xu Ling, a person who has lived on land for a long time, even some seafarers are prone to this kind of uneasiness.
"If you're scared, you want crabs, lobsters, salmon, tuna, and grouper underwater, which can be made into seafood hot pot, seafood barbecue, and salmon fillet...... If you think so, don't be afraid. ”
"I hate it~!" Xu Ling's coquettish slap on him in protest: "I'm not a foodie like you, I actually want to eat when I see the sea." But it's no wonder that your stomach is said to be hungry when you say this. As he spoke, he touched her little belly. Now that she eats two people's servings alone, I'm afraid that not only is she hungry, but there is also a small thing that is hungry.
"What do you want to eat? I'll do it for you. Whether it's salt-grilled salmon fillet or an invincible seafood hodgepodge, Italian seafood risotto will also do. ”
"I want them all, as long as you do it." Xu Ling looked at him with attachment and looked at him with a smile in her eyes.
"Okay." Wang Jian replied to her with a smile, as long as she wanted, he would make it for her. If you can't, just learn it.
But at this time, he suddenly saw something in his eyes through the straight telescope, but he couldn't see clearly when he looked closely. Because of professional problems, his field of vision is too small.
"What is the position of 32 degrees northeast!" Shout at the lookout at the lookout on the lookout and remind him to change direction to see where he is.
The lookout immediately turned his body and took another telescope to look in his direction, and replied: "It seems to be a ruin of steel at sea, and a flag is hung on the ruin, as if it were a ...... Skeleton! Be careful, there is an enemy attack, there is an enemy coming! ”
Wang Jian immediately went to look again, and saw that because he was closer, he finally broke through the fog of the vista and saw clearly the pile of sea steel ruins mentioned in the mouth of the lookout, and saw what kind of sea steel ruins this was, it was a sea camp. In the lookout siren, three small ships had already departed from the camp and approached them at high speed.
Whether it is the black skull flag on the camp or the small skull flag at the tail of these dinghys, it shows that they are pirates, monsters unique to this water world!
"Ready for battle, all artillery ready, ready to fire!" Sarah also received a warning from the lookout and immediately issued a combat order, getting all the crew members moving.
"Little ones, let them know how good we are!" Planck laughed and shouted with a smirk.
As the first mate on this ship, he is in charge of the combat side, and he is an expert when it comes to artillery.
"Let's go too, and see if there's any hope of sinking these dinghys." Wang Jian greeted Xu Ling and Feng Yi. This time, because of the particularity of the combat environment, only the three of them came over on the player side, and the others stayed on the first floor to deal with the next battle.
So their identity is explorer, with the aim of finding a place to settle in this area as soon as possible.
Everyone was mobilized at the behest of the battle order, because they were in pursuit of speed to explore a larger area as quickly as possible, so all they brought with them was a fast sailboat. In terms of speed, there is nothing to reach except for the flying device, but the combat effectiveness may be a little worse.
Nami had already taken advantage of her advantage in the water to pass first, and suddenly set off a monstrous Lang to overturn one, but let the other two nimble to dodge.
It also made it clear to them that the speedboat that these pirates were riding was the kind of sightseeing speedboat that they often saw on the lake and the seaside, using an eddy current, which was not only extremely fast but also very agile, and it was not a problem to ride the wind and break through the wind for a short distance.
After Feng Yi's Heaven and Earth Web Spider Silk Barrier Feng Yi and Xu Ling also launched a combination of skills, after Feng Yi's Heaven and Earth Web built an erected web in front of the remaining two speedboats, Xu Ling immediately released her spider on it, quickly building a stronger spider silk defense, forming a spider silk wall on the sea, prohibiting the passage of the two speedboats.
At the moment when the two speedboats were forced to slow down and needed to go around the two sides of the barrier, Wang Jian clearly saw that there was a person sitting on it who was dressed tightly and almost dressed like the head wrapped in cloth tape that he saw in the Shurima Desert, but their skin was darker, and the attribute displayed was [Redbeard Pirate (Level 235)].
Monsters of the first tier are more difficult in terms of level, and in a completely water-based sea combat environment, it is more advantageous for them in comparison.
"Dragon Flame Fist!" Wang Jian turned on the Black Dragon Flame and bombarded them from a distance with a fierce punch, directly swinging out a Black Dragon Flame Bullet and shooting it at a speedboat below.
The speedboat nimbly turned around and avoided it, ignoring the three of them, and continued to approach the clipper, just like a pirate would really do.
"Fire!" Wang Jian saw their attack, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stop this kind of speedboat. Because it was a naval battle, it was originally a battle between ships and ships, and the battle of the blades was only secondary.
He immediately shouted in the direction of the Expedition, ordered the ship's guns to open fire, and directly sank the two pesky speedboats for him.
After the flag-bearer on the Expedition waved the red and white flags and made the flag, the guns on the port side of the Expedition had already fired in turn in this direction, filling the air with the smell of gunpowder and the smoke of gunpowder. A large number of shells covered the two boats that were rapidly approaching the expedition like a barrage.
