CH.299 Hundred Claws (I)
This month is autumn, and the sun is warm, dyeing the earth with a layer of gold, but there is a lot of fog on the sea, which affects navigation, and it is the season that seafarers hate more.
On the way back, Donk once passed by the Black Pearl's power room, and the curse blade on his waist suddenly moved, trembling with eagerness, and let out a ghostly roar. He felt a little concerned, and after feeling it carefully, he found that the heart of the magic ship in the power room was absorbing the negative power released by the curse blade, causing the curse blade to react violently.
It turns out that the heart of the magic ship and the spell blade are just the right match, and they can complement each other. The heart of the demon ship needs to absorb negative emotions such as evil, tyranny, and pain to nourish itself, and the curse blade contains the resentment that soars to the sky, and there is no outlet for it. When these two things are put together, the heart of the magic ship can absorb the resentment of the curse blade and become stronger, and the curse blade can also reduce the impact on the master's heart, changing from a demon knife to a treasure knife!
This little discovery of mutual benefit made Tang Ke secretly refreshed, and immediately put the spell blade next to the heart of the magic ship. The Heart of the Demon Ship agitated excitedly, sucking up the resentment of the cursed blade. The curse blade seemed to be peeling back a cocoon, and the resentment gradually faded.
Three days later, the Black Pearl completely drained the resentment on the curse blade, and became much stronger, and it could only create five dark seas before, but now it has increased to as many as ten, which has doubled! And there is one more kind of Warcraft that can be bred, and the new Warcraft is called "Ghost Brain Warcraft", which is not as good as the Dull Warcraft in terms of physical strength and combat power, but it is superior in intelligence, just like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man. With such intelligence, he is much more obedient, can be used to lead dumb monsters, and can also act as sailors, gunners, and laundrymen.
The Black Pearl is a ship that can keep getting stronger, and the way to become stronger is not difficult, just keep absorbing negative energy. The potential of this ship is very huge, and in time, it can even evolve into a fourth-order or even fifth-order magic ship!
The spell blade has also gained a lot of benefits, and it will no longer affect the user's heart and surname, and the fierce spirit has become a sword spirit with a strong surname, so that when the sword qi is changed in various ways, it will become more calm and sophisticated, and it will no longer be as irritable as before. A swordsman is not a fighter, and what is needed is not destructive power, but sharpness! Instead of letting the sword qi explode like a bomb, it is better to turn into a thin thread and cut off everything, leaving no gods and ghosts.
In order to collect colored fish bones for use in potions, the Black Pearl made short stops whenever it came across a port where it could go ashore. However, the port of call must be a popular port, preferably a port with a very developed shipbuilding industry.
Magic Horn is a fitting port, located on a headland on the mainland of KovarΓ©, stretching out into the sea, as if beckoning to passing ships. Magic Horn is a small, impoverished country. In order to make money, this small country opened its port to pirates. Driven by pirates, the port became the backbone of the small country's economy. Pirates make money easily, they spend a lot of money in the port, and when they sell the stolen goods, they will dispose of the goods and ships at a low price, and the port can make huge profits from it.
Pirates are the most popular people in Magic Horn, even if they paint a dangerous layer of blood on the port.
There are a lot of pirates here, and there are a lot of troubles, but there are also a lot of strange things, so the odds of buying colored fish bones are very high, and it is worth a visit.
On the day of the call, Donk looked around with a telescope and found a problem. Normally, this port should be very lively, but now it is very deserted, and the sea is quiet, without a sound. Faintly, there was still a breath of death at sea. This is not that he is mysterious, he has been in several life-and-death battles, has seen countless lives wither, and has already had a little sense.
He immediately sent the dragon eagle and the Naga fishman, one to patrol the sky, and the other to swim under the sea.
When Long Ying returned, he said that he had found nothing suspicious. The Naga fishmen came back a little later, and they smelled a faint smell of blood in the sea, as if a great war had just been there.
Donk hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to sail into the Magic Horn Harbor. What made him wonder was that although the route was deserted, there were many ships parked at the port docks, and the places were almost crowded, but fortunately he only took the Black Pearl now, otherwise there would be no place to dock.
There must be something strange in this.
As soon as Donk came ashore, he asked the port officer about it.
"It's all the octopus." The port officer shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile, "Recently, a big octopus appeared near the port, I don't know why it is eyeing here, and if it doesn't leave, it hides on the bottom of the sea, and whenever a ship passes by, the octopus will take the initiative to attack and sink the ship." β
Tang Ke suddenly realized that there was a sea monster at work.
"But why didn't I come here and meet a big octopus?"
"No matter how big the octopus is, it's no bigger than this sea. The lucky ones were able to escape, and some of the brave seafarers sailed away. Now those who are holding back in the port and dare not go out are all ......" The port officer lowered his voice, "Cowards." They were afraid that they would be unlucky enough to run into a large octopus, so they refused to leave. β
"Why don't you want to warn the ships that are coming here?"
"We've issued a warning. At night, the harbor uses a lighthouse to send out warning lights, and during the day, there are also hawks scattering leaflets on the sea. But you're unlucky not to make it to the Eagle Alert. The current situation is like this, the ships outside entered this port by mistake because they did not understand the situation, and after learning that there were sea monsters staying outside the port, they did not dare to go to sea, causing the ships here to become more and more crowded. Hehe, but it's a good thing for the port, these seafarers stayed here and spent a lot of money during the stay. β
Donk wasn't depressed by this, the sea was full of dangers, and it was normal to encounter sea monsters. He glanced around, and there were some tall, sturdy, and energetic pirate ships around the docks, but none of these ships rushed out to sea, proving that the sea monsters that stayed near the harbor must be very powerful.
"There are several species of octopus-type sea monsters, what kind of species is this near the harbor?"
"It's the famous hundred-claw, also known as the nightmare fish. It is rumored that in the underwater world, this sea monster can be ranked in the top 30 of the list of evil animals. The harbor officer made a frightened expression, "The ordinary octopus is an octopus, but this hundred claws have more than thirty claws, and the size is also amazing, comparable to five whales combined." If you think about it, this sea monster is as tall as a mountain, and every claw can pull a sailboat to the bottom of the sea. No matter how big the ship is, there is no hope of survival. β
"Hundred claws!" Donk's heart jumped, he had a task with building the "Ice Age", and one of the materials needed to build this ship was the skin of a hundred claws. This sea monster has a tough skin, just like a copper wall, and when it is specially processed, it will become even better, and it is very suitable for use as armor for ships.
"You're scared." The young harbor officer made a victorious expression.
Donk came back to his senses and smiled, noncommittal.
At this time, a group of pirate passers-by who passed by here happened to see the Black Pearl here, stopped, pointed, and talked about it.
"My eyes don't see flowers, do they? Is that pirate flag the flag of the Dragon Pirates? β
"It's really the flag of the Dragon Pirates, I'm all too familiar with this flag, I saw it when I was in the Little Pirate City. And this Black Pearl, I also know. This is a third-order magic ship, it is very powerful, it is said to be able to create humanoid monsters, which is very terrifying, just like a demon's lair. β
"The Dragon Pirate Corps has been very majestic in the last two years. I heard that they have won many battles, and have defeated the Black Toad Pirates, the Poison Fang Pirates, and the Cannibal Pirates, and the navies of the Greenland Empire and the Dragon's Tooth Country have also suffered losses at their hands. β
"Also, also, they defeated Goldbeard in a duel not long ago, and got Turtleback Island as a reward, this is a money-making machine, let's wait to collect money in the future."
"But wouldn't they offend Goldbeard by doing so? I'm afraid it won't last long. β
"What are you afraid of, Goldbeard threatened that he would not settle accounts after the autumn, and he should be fine. I've admired Donk as a man, I've heard that he is cruel to his enemies and treats his own people like brothers. And his strength is quite good, some people say that he is a fifth-order swordsman, and some people say that he is a magician. I don't know if it's true or not. β
"Hey, look at that Oriental guy standing on the dock chatting, could he be Donk?"
"That's right, that's right, it's him! Oriental Dragon, Donk! β
Donk heard the voice, and out of friendliness to his peers, he greeted the group of people who were making a fuss. This move flattered the group, and an idler ran over on the spot, saying that he wanted to join the pirate group.
"Yikes! It turns out that you are the leader of the Dragon Pirate Regiment! The harbor officer was surprised to notice the black pirate flag flying overhead.
The shadow of the name tree of man. When the port officer learned of Tang Ke's identity, he immediately became respectful and polite, and no longer dared to speak in the same ridiculous tone as he had just spoken. Donk didn't care, though, and went on to ask more about the centocus. First, he couldn't be trapped in this port, and second, he needed the skin of a hundred claws, so he immediately decided to clean up the sea monster.
The port officer didn't have any idea of building a surname, but the newcomer who had just joined did interject.
"I'd suggest you visit the Eternal Bar of Night, where a number of pirate leaders have gathered to join forces to defeat the Centopus. You've gotten there, just in time to step in and join them in slaying the sea monster, so you can leave the harbor and build your reputation as a pirate group along the way. β
"I'd rather like to have more contact with the other pirate groups, let's go, you can show me the way." Tang Ke is a person who likes to make friends very much, and he is a timely rain surname, even if an ordinary friend asks for the door, he can help as long as he can.
When it comes to dealing with other pirate groups, as long as they don't come to make trouble on purpose, he won't be an enemy of them.
