Chapter 81: Infiltration
The waves were raging, and the night was getting darker.
The pirate ships and Noxian warships are entangled in two or three to form four battlefields, and Gilgamesh's merchant ships are tightly surrounded in the middle with no way to escape, looking down from the sky like a petal blooming on the surface of the sea that represents death and blood, and the five-masted merchant ship is the heart of the flower.
Seriously speaking, as an armed merchant ship, this five-masted ship still has a certain combat effectiveness, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary pirates, but unfortunately they are not qualified to meddle in the current battlefield. The Noxus warship obviously did not count this merchant ship as combat power, and protected it tightly in the middle at the beginning, but now it is cocooned, but it cuts off the possibility of it escaping from the chaos.
However, the situation on the battlefield is still unclear, and it is only a matter of time before the three three-masted battleships of Noxus are there, but the flagship of Noxus is still stubbornly resisting, and even has the upper hand under the leadership of the glorious executioner Delevingne. If they dragged them until Noxus reinforcements arrived, the pirates would be defeated.
Of course, all this had little to do with Fang Yan, at this moment he was leisurely rowing a single boat to the side of the merchant ship, ready to quietly go up to see the situation - of course, if there was any advantage, Fang Yan would never be relentless. Strictly speaking, Fang Yan's behavior has violated the taboo of pirates, after all, people are fighting in front of you to come here to pick up the bargain? Even pirates who secretly stab each other with knives are not so unkind!
However, if someone scolded Fang Yan like this, Fang Yan would definitely calmly answer, "After I became a pirate, I threw away such a thing as kindness...... Wait, has Fang Yan been kind before?
Looking up at the tall hull, Fang Yan thought in his heart, if he insisted on climbing, of course he could climb it. But this method is too high-profile, in case someone is present, there will be no good fruit to eat, although the main role of the ship is to transport goods, but there are hundreds of people on it. One person fights a hundred...... Fang Yan lived very happily, he had no interest in looking for death.
Although he couldn't go this way, this naturally couldn't make it difficult for Fang Yan. Touched the hull in front of him. Fang Yan smiled: "Then it's good to break through from here." Although the material of the bottom of the boat is specially thickened, can you resist the power of the equipment? ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and rummaged through the storage bracer, of course Fang Yan's Night Star Hammer was not up to the task, although it was a powerful piece of equipment, it couldn't change the essence of a hammer, of course you had to use a sharp weapon to do this kind of thing. After looking for a while, he took out the trophy from Haggis, the Mantis Double Scythe. Touching the hull of the ship, Fang Yan slashed at it with all his might. The blade of the scythe collided with the hull with a "clang", the blade slid away, and when I turned my head to look at the hull, only a white mark appeared.
Speechless in his heart for a while, Fang Yan comforted himself and said, "...... That's right, too. If any equipment could be chopped open, pirates attacking merchant ships could dive to the bottom of the ship with sharp weapon-type equipment and directly open a hole, and the ship would not have survived until now. ”
Biting his lip and looking up at the big boat, Fang Yan was still unwilling, and continued to look for it in the storage wrist. It's a pity that although there are a few pieces of weapon-type equipment in it, these are all Fang Yan's early works, and he has not forged weapon-type equipment at all after he made a breakthrough in the forging technology of the Night Star Hammer. In terms of sharpness, it is not as sharp as the mantis double sickle.
"Do you want to go from above?" The corners of Fang Yan's mouth twitched, and he continued to rummage unwillingly. Of course, it is impossible to give up halfway when you have already arrived here, but climbing the boat can only be used as a last resort. After all, although there is a cover of night, the probability of being seen is too great.
At this moment, Fang Yan found something in the storage bracer that he had ignored.
With his brows furrowed, Fang Yan took out the thing and held it in his hand: "Why don't you try this?" Although it shouldn't be equipment, since it's the weapon used by that guy, the power is not bad, right? ”
The thing in Fang Yan's hand was Delevingne's axe!
The appearance of the axe at this moment. Compared to before, the entire axe has become translucent. It even gave Fang Yan a feeling that he was going to disappear soon. Although he was well-informed in the field of forging masters, Fang Yan really couldn't come to a reasonable conclusion. I had to put this matter aside for a while, and turned my attention back to the ship in front of me.
The bracelet in his hand grasped in the middle of the axe, rowing back a few steps and spinning the axe in the same way as Draven before, Fang Yan's gaze was firmly locked on the white mark before. Taking a deep breath, Fang Yan threw out the axe in his hand with all his might.
"Click!"
The hull cracked in response, and Draven's axe plunged deep into it, literally slicing through the hull that couldn't even be fitted with real equipment. Seeing this, Fang Yan clenched his fists hard, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, but after a moment, he was filled with astonishment-Draven's axe, gone?
The axe flashed before disappearing, as if it had exhausted its power, and then vanished as if ice had melted into the water, leaving no trace.
"What the hell is going on?" Fang Yan's brows furrowed in confusion. There must be a reason behind any strange phenomenon, and his intuition told Fang Yan that what was hidden under this surface might be of great help to his forging technique. It's a pity that now that Draven's axe has disappeared, Fang Yan can't do anything, so he has to turn his attention back to business.
The hardest part of destroying something is the first step, and when it breaks, the rest is easy. Fang Yan took out the mantis double sickle again, stretched it into the cut of the hull and sawed it back and forth like a saw, and soon broke the hole and expanded it to a similar extent. When Fang Yan chose the position at the beginning, he tried to drive as high as possible to avoid the boat from entering the water, and he didn't have any scruples at the moment, and after subconsciously looking back, he turned over and got into it directly.
After being on a pirate ship for a while, Fang Yan also had some understanding of the ship, generally speaking, the bottom of the cabin was filled with ballast such as stones and wood, which was to increase the weight of the ship and make it sail more smoothly at sea. On the next level is one of the power cores of a boat, the oarsman's cabin. Oarsmen have a very low status equivalent to coolies, but their responsibilities are quite significant, and although the main power of the boat to sail at sea is the power of the wind, without which the boat would not be able to sail from the harbor, let alone sail against the wind.
Of course, this two-layer Fang Yan without oil and water naturally skipped by, just be careful not to be seen when passing by the oarsman's cabin. After passing that floor, it is the lifeblood of merchant ships - cargo warehouse. The pirates came here to fight, wasn't it because of the wealth brought by this shipment, Fang Yan wanted to see what it was.
To be honest, Fang Yan was still fantasizing about the goods on it when he sneaked past the paddling cabin, after all, these goods could be exchanged for large sums of gold coins! However, when Fang Yan actually stepped into the warehouse and saw these so-called "valuable goods", he was really disgusted.
You don't need to describe anything, just know what they are and you can understand it - the material of the dark arts. Compared to the ones Fang Yan had seen in Captain Blackbeard's room before, the things here were even more disgusting and infiltrating, you must know that Blackbeard had also dealt with them, but these things were adhering to the purpose of "raw", "fresh" and "live" in the requirements of raw materials!
Fang Yan couldn't accept these things, but thinking that he would have to go to the Dark Lord to lift the curse in the future, he pinched his nose and picked out a few materials that were small in size and relatively not too disgusting and threw them into the storage bracers, and the rest didn't bother to look at them again, Fang Yan directly grabbed the door and walked down the stairs into the upper floor.
Unfortunately, the upper layer is still a similar black magic material, which is a little worse than the previous one in terms of color and freshness. Fang Yan was naturally not interested, and directly skipped it and continued to walk up, while praying in his heart that the upper layer would never be this kind of thing again.
It's a pity still.
Fang Yan was furious, he didn't bother to look at these things anymore, and walked up in one go. There were five floors in the warehouse, except for the top layer, which contained some worthless ordinary goods, the rest were black magic materials, and Fang Yan could only sigh that Zu An's demand for these things was indeed unimaginable.
After crossing the cargo hold, it is the cabin where the ship's people live. When he arrived here, Fang Yan's movements also became light-hearted, avoiding being seen. After taking such a big risk to enter the merchant ship, Fang Yan could be said to have found nothing now, even if he just had the idea of coming and seeing at first, but he was disgusted by the black magic materials for so long, and now of course he was not willing to go back empty-handed.
Then, there is only one goal left. Even if everything on the entire ship was a waste to Fang Yan, it would definitely make Fang Yan gain a lot there.
The Juan Giant, Gilgamesh's room! (To be continued)
