Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Hidden Killing Opportunity in the Devil's Sea
Night, no moon.
"Guys, we've arrived at the Devil's Sea, cheer up!" A calm old voice came from the Hope in the darkness, speaking from the old fur dog Douglas who was at the helm.
"Good!" The pirates responded in unison, having avoided several risks during their few days at the helm, and the cautious old fur dog had gained the trust of several pirates on board.
Fang Yan and the old fur dog were familiar with each other, because he was a crew member of the Stabbing, and he had already reached the age of retirement, but he didn't know why he wanted to take the risk to join Fang Yan's Hope this time. Fortunately, there is such an old guy who has been at sea for decades and has seen many winds and waves at the helm, and under the cautious helm of the old fur seal, there were no accidents on this journey.
After entering the terrifying devil's sea, the old fur seal became more cautious, and it could even be said that he cowered, and the degree of the ship had slowed down to the extreme. But everyone on board agreed, and there was a consensus in Bilgewater: no matter how careful you are in the Devil's Sea, you can't be too careful.
Even though the old fur seal was already careful, the other pirates were still nervous, and the atmosphere on the ship fell into an inexplicable tension after the Hope entered the Devil's Sea. After all, this is the Devil's Sea!
Carefully clenching the rudder, although it appeared calm on the surface, the old fur dog was actually a little weak in his heart, and only forced his composure to encourage the other pirates. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the cabin behind him, and the old fur dog was secretly anxious: "Captain, why are you hiding inside at this time?" You have to stand up and encourage everyone! ”
In the evening, Fang Yan entered the cabin and locked himself in the room, instructing no one to disturb him, no matter what happened. Although Fang Yan's order made everyone on the ship puzzled, after the violent and bloody display he had shown in the last naval battle spread. No one on board dared to offend his majesty. No one knew that Fang Yan had fallen into a great crisis at this time.
"Bang!" His back slammed against the wall with all his might, but the slight pain caused by this could not alleviate Fang Yan's pain at the moment. With a hideous face covering his shoulder, Fang Yan tore his coat with a fierce hand, and his left shoulder was on. The crown skull tattoo shimmered slightly with a magma-like red glow.
"Cursed...... Shuo Ye ...... "The tattoo on his shoulder seemed to be branded with a piece of red-hot iron, and his head was even pierced by thousands of needles at the same time, and the waves of pain hit Fang Yan's heart like a tide. On the first New Moon night after the ghost ship, the curse exploded for the first time, but it came so strongly!
There was a red glint in his eyes, and even his anger was unconsciously pulled out. Fang Yan struggled and said, "Can't go out...... Once out, the curse completely explodes! ”
As the night deepened, Fang Yan's skin gradually turned red and hot, and a hot breath came out of his body, and traces of scorching black gradually appeared on his body. Suffering. What's more.
The body trembled slightly. His teeth were clenched, and his lips were spilling blood.
Fang Yan was patient.
Everyone on the boat naturally didn't know what Fang Yan was suffering at this time, and they obeyed Fang Yan's order not to disturb. The Hope sailed slowly across the dark sea in the night, the pirates doing their job and keeping an eye on everything around them.
In smooth water. However......
Quiet and eerie.
In this way, the Hope sailed for about ten minutes, and the hull of the ship suddenly froze, and the old fur seal, who was concentrating on the helm, immediately felt that something was wrong. Then. The pirate, who was standing on the bow of the ship and watching into the distance, suddenly shouted, "Hell, it seems that something has hit under the ship." Our voyages have been slowed down. ”
The old fur dog hurriedly said, "Is it a reef?" I don't remember the charts showing the hazardous environmental areas here. ”
The pirate replied, "You remember right, old fur seal, it doesn't look like it's hit the rocks." But there is definitely a problem. ”
Looking back at the cabin behind him, Fang Yan didn't show any signs of coming out, and the old fur dog gritted his teeth and said, "Has someone gone down to the cabin to check the leakage at the bottom of the ship?" ”
The pirates looked at each other, who would dare to go to sea easily in a place like the Devil's Sea? In the end, it was a brave pirate who stepped forward and jumped into the water with a knife in his hand. At the entrance to the water, the ripples on the surface of the water gradually dissipate.
Although each is doing its own thing. But the pirates unanimously set aside some of their attention on the water, waiting for the pirate to return safely. Of course, they weren't concerned about the pirate's safety. Rather, it means that there is no mortal danger underwater.
Three minutes passed. The faces of everyone on the ship changed slightly.
Five minutes passed. The pirates looked at each other with ugly faces. The atmosphere on board froze.
The sea is calm, but in the hearts of everyone on the ship, it is more like a giant beast lurking to choose people to devour. With the ability of the previous pirate, it is impossible to stay in the water for such a long time without breathing, so the only explanation is ......
"Light the torch!" The old fur dog said with a gloomy face.
The torches on the ship were soaked in blubber, and they burned without smoke and burned for a long time, and the fire was very bright - the only downside was that the smoke came out of it was very fishy. Someone took a torch and shone it under the bow of the ship, and suddenly felt that something strange suddenly appeared on the originally calm sea in front of him, and the sea water was surging rapidly, as if there were seven or eight pairs of invisible hands under the sea surface stirring vigorously, and the strength of the force was in different directions.
"Damn it!" The fear of the unknown brought great mental pressure, and one of the pirates jerked out the musket at his waist, pulled the trigger, and the scorching bullets sprayed out of the muzzle, only to stir up a small whirlpool the size of a finger on the surface of the sea, and then completely disappeared.
But soon, many staggered and vertical black irregular lines appeared on the sea, slowly winding around the hull, and it was not clear what it was, and the sea was then turbulent, and a large number of white bubbles appeared.
Although the water here is not turbid, it is still impossible to see the specific situation below due to the reflection of the sea surface at night. To be more precise, it is as if the sea water is boiled, and something is about to break through the water and swallow it!
With a faint fear on his face, the old fur dog forced his composure and shouted, "Go and inform the captain!" Light a few more torches! ”
In a panic, hearing the old sea dog's order, a pirate hurriedly ran into the cabin in three steps and two steps, and the suppressed fear made him temporarily forget Fang Yan's previous order, and slapped his fist on the door of Fang Yan's room: "Captain! Captain! Something happened! ”
There was silence for a few seconds, and a low, hoarse voice came from the room: "What's wrong. ”
"Something is wrong! Captain! Come out! If you don't get out again, the ship will be destroyed! It was precisely because of the unknown that he was so afraid, the pirate hurriedly shouted loudly, and the panic made him not hear the strangeness of Fang Yan's voice.
There was an eerie silence in the hallway, except for the pirate's rapid breathing. A heavy footstep sounded in Fang Yan's room, from far and near, and stopped at the door.
"Whoa-" The door opened suddenly.
The pirate's eyes, which had calmed down a lot after hearing the footsteps, instantly widened with fear. (To be continued)
