CH.31 Bird Hunting
There are two types of aft of sailboats, round and square, both of which have advantages and disadvantages, in general, the square stern can reduce the loss of current energy, reduce the resistance of the current, which can speed up the sailboat. Moreover, the tail is square, and the deck is a little wider, which is conducive to combat.
Because of these advantages, the Black Pearl resolutely chose the square tail, which needed speed to catch up with its prey, as well as a wide deck battlefield.
Donk stood on the wooden railing at the stern of the boat, unbuttoned his pants, and peed leisurely in the wind. The orange-yellow liquid was blown away by the wind and fell into the sea, and recently he was a little hot.
The sailors on both sides looked at Donk with adoring eyes, and their loyalty actually increased slightly. Don't underestimate this skill, there have been many sailors who have followed Tangk's example, but all of them have failed. Some of them could not stand firmly on the wooden fence, and were blown into the sea by the wind, and disappeared without a trace. Others ignore the wind direction, and after the urine goes out, the liquid is blown back by the wind.
When the sailors understood what a difficult thing this was, they called it a miracle!
Stared at with admiration by a group of men, Don Ke was stressed when he peed.
Today is a little different, in addition to the men, there is a woman who is also blushing and admiring the magic skill of Tangk, which is Hualu.
"What's the matter with me?" Before he could tie his pants, he jumped off with a big grin.
Hua Lu's wheat-colored face couldn't hide the blush, she had never seen such an inappropriate person as Donk, not even the men in the tribe who had seen anyone perform peeing in public.
"Say, what's the matter?" Donk didn't like people to spit out, he glared at the sailors a few times, "What are you doing here, don't you go to work, the cannon is gone?" Is the deck clean? If it's really okay, go to the bow of the boat and press me to the broadside. ā
The so-called broadside is to stand on the port side or starboard side and use your own body weight to speed up the sailboat.
Flower Dew followed behind Tang Ke, stepped over a few scattered cables, and stammered, "IāI want to ask you, will you help our people on Starfish Island?" ā
"Who knows."
Donk doesn't like to say anything easily, because he does what he says, and if he promises someone to do something, he must find a way to do it. Whether his trip will go smoothly is still unknown, so it's better not to make random promises.
He replaced the one-eyed man at the helm and personally controlled the direction of the Black Pearl's travel, which was a regular job for the captain.
Flower Dew is entangled by Donk's side, refusing to leave, turning over and over for two things, one is to beg Donk to help her, and the other is to complain to Donk. The inhabitants of Starfish Island have died tens of thousands of people because of this plague. The people on the island look up and don't look down, and they are very familiar with each other, as if they are relatives. Now, thousands of sick residents are waiting to be treated with life-saving medicine.
Donk listened tirelessly, turning the rudder of the ship in his hand in the direction of the wind, and said, "The empty man is terrible, it seems that he has to find something to do for you." You see what you can do on this ship? ā
Hualu saw that Tang Ke was annoyed by her, and felt very aggrieved, so she bit her lip and said, "If you promise to help me, let me be a slave for you, as long as you can save the lives of the people on the island." ā
"Seriously, I'm not good at saving people, I'm pretty good at killing. Otherwise, if you rub my shoulders and make me comfortable, I'll consider helping you, how about it? ā
Hualu is also the daughter of the patriarch in the clan, and her status is also very high, but on this ship, her status is only above that of a troublemaker. She couldn't let go of the slightest hope, and obediently walked behind Donk, lifted her feet, and kneading a pair of small hands on the broad, stocky shoulders.
"Good hand work." Don Kemei said with a smile.
"Are you comfortable?"
"It's more comfortable."
"Can you help my people, then?"
"I'll talk about this later, you can pinch it well, to the left, to the left, that's right."
Tang Ke can be regarded as decoupling from the toiling people, and since then, he has been out of control, snorting and drinking Hualu all day long, either pinching his shoulders or beating his back, or running errands back and forth to deliver wine.
Because the captain said that his son was too nourished, the sailors were very resentful.
Fortunately, one day there was a storm, the sound of the rolling tide was like thunder, the sea was overwhelming, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the raindrops of beans were pouring down, and the Black Pearl was in danger of capsizing at any time in the waves.
Donk stepped forward and took the helm himself, commanding the sailors in the pouring rain, and was soaked in the rain, driving the Black Pearl through the storm in embarrassment. His captain rank was too low, and it was a bit difficult to steer this medium-sized ship.
After the rain, the colorful rainbow is beautiful, like a silk hanging on the body of an angel.
Seeing the captain working so hard, the sailors' hearts were finally balanced, the captain was not so easy to be, and it was natural to have a chick waiting.
On this day, Tang Ke was lying on the beach chair leisurely, the sea was calm, the sun was warm and pleasant, and the flower dew on one side was still smashing dried fruits for him to eat, and he was so happy that he wanted to cry.
"Captain, there's a strange bird in the sky!" A sailor shouted.
Tang Ke didn't even raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "Beat it down, add vegetables at night, and remember to stew it into a salty taste." ā
One-Eye shook his head helplessly and followed suit. The strange bird in the sky was much larger than the eagle, and its whole body was blue-white feathers, which formed the same color as the sky, and the sailor also discovered it by accident. On the sea, the captain's orders reigned supreme, and the sailors wanted to knock down the strange birds, regardless of whether they were shooting or shooting.
The small hammer in Hualu's hand hung in the air, and she looked up and muttered, "This bird is so beautiful, even its eyes are blue." ā
One-eyed was quite surprised, and glanced at Hua Lu, from such a distance, he could see the eyes of strange birds, this eyesight was extraordinary, could it be that Hua Lu was still a good seedling to be a musketeer?
The strange bird was too far away, out of range, and the bullets and bows missed.
"Why don't we use cannonballs?"
A daring sailor suggested, and then pushed the cannon with a few other sailors, turning the muzzle towards the sky. This cannon has a base with wheels on it for easy movement.
"Don't mess around, the cannon can't hit so high, and then the strange bird won't hit it, and then let the cannonballs smash the ship." One-Eye shouted.
One-Eye is not only a musketeer, but he also plays the role of first mate on the ship because of his experience. In addition to the captain, the sailors also listened to his orders and stopped stupidly.
The blue-and-white strange bird heard the sound, and the eagle chirped a few times, circled under the air current, swooped down, and wanted to peck away a crew member back to the nest.
One-eyed became nervous, and the strange bird was much larger than it could be seen, and when it flew closer, its wingspan alone was four yards long.
"Captain, be careful, the strange bird is down!" The sailors shouted loudly. On board, the sailor is the captain's intimate little padded jacket.
When Donk heard this urgency, he opened his eyes, and the shadow cast by the strange bird just covered him.
"Damn, why didn't you say it was so big!" Donk's face changed dramatically, he bounced off his beach chair and raised his gun to shoot.
The others were not idle, and when the strange birds approached, the bullets and bows rained out, especially the archers and sailors hiding in the shipbuilding, who had good marksmanship and a half-star in long-range attack.
The strange bird was in pain, and stuck a few bows and arrows in its belly, and raised its head and did not dare to come down, but flew up again, but by the way, it broke the sail. The sailors scrambled to dodge. When Donk saw that the sail had fallen, he was so angry that he cursed.
The strange bird missed a hit, the thief's heart did not die, and he refused to fly away by the Black Pearl, it tried several times, and found the attack range of the Black Pearl, and flew on the periphery, but people did not dare to relax their vigilance, and the two sides spent half an hour, and they consumed a lot of energy.
"The next time it comes back, I'll shoot it in the eye." One-eyed said cruelly, he has been holding the gun and has never put it down, for fear of missing the opportunity to shoot.
Tang Ke kicked the spit frog and said, "You kid also give me mental points, you shoot far, you have a chance to shoot it down, and you will be given more food in the future." ā
The trickster snorted in pain, stretched out his palm to touch the white of the kicked belly twice, and stared intently at the strange bird in the sky, with a cannonball ready to fire in his mouth.
The blue monster bird circled and slew up from the stern, it saw the form, and if it attacked from the stern, it would take the least damage. It flies at a very low altitude, and the strong wind under its wings stirs up a wave on the surface of the sea.
"Don't get in the way, get out of the way!"
It was Donk who spoke, and he was carrying the great sword upside down, the blade of which was parallel to his shoulder, which was a special kind of thunder rise, and this kind of rise was to increase the power of the heavy slash! He stored all his strength, and felt his arms faintly hot, and he couldn't help but yell.
The people on the boat flashed to the sides like separate waves. The strange bird flew close to the deck, breaking a thinner submast and catching up on Donk.
Everyone who saw this scene held their breath, and the hearts of the others were hanging, only the one-eyed guy released the trigger, and his expression was much more relaxed.
Heavy Slash!
Donk slashed his sword diagonally, hitting the head of the strange bird like killing a chicken. The strange bird's head was separated from its body, and its heavy body landed on the deck, its wings fluttering a few times, and it did not move.
"Ding! You have discovered an unknown creature, add 10 bonus points, and it will expand the Bestiary. ā
Sky Bird:
Race: Sea Monsters.
Family name: water.
Skill: Pounce.
Physical Attack: ā ā
Living area: Sea of Dreams, Sea of Jewels, Black Sea.
Description: They are a common attack on the sea, they are short-tempered, will attack when a ship approaches, and their teeth can easily bite the hull of the ship, causing headaches for those who come across it.
Bonus points after killing: 4.
The Kraken can't be recruited after being killed, so it's useless to collect too much, and Donk sweeps it every time.
"According to the instructions just now, add vegetables in the evening and stew it into a salty one." Donk drew his broadsword from the deck, sheathed it and held it in his hand, ready to continue lying on the beach chair and eating dried fruit.
The sailors erupted in cheers, shouting long live Captain Donk. They were happy to finally be able to eat fresh meat in the evening. But after the joy was over, they began to painfully mend the damage made by the strange bird. The auxiliary mast was heavy, and it took a lot of work to reconnect it.
Tang Ke also regretted in his heart, the Black Pearl has only been repaired for a few days? Now he's wounded again, and he's in a state of tinkering.
