Chapter 65: Listen to the Voice of the Earth

After a period of exploration, Chen Ye probably also knows the situation of the sub-skill, the quality of the sub-skill is only a framework that determines how many attributes the sub-skill contains, but most of the attributes that are really comprehended are random, unless there are specific attribute content such as "gunner's notes" and "steamship user manual", the higher the quality of the sub-skill, the higher the quality, but if the attributes contained in it are not very practical, the assistance for combat and exploration is not very great.

Chen Ye asked the sailors to flag the Tiger Shark and the Thunder Light, to temporarily leave the fleet, and asked the fleet to maintain its speed and head towards Santes, the Tiger Shark quickly gave a "yes" reply, Zhou Dong knew that Chen Ye was now hired by Migno, and one of the purposes of coming to sea was also to hunt demons, thinking that he had found clues about demons, and gave the question of "whether he needs support".

Chen Ye naturally rejected Zhou Dong, before Zhou Dong's continuous missions were completely over, he didn't plan to consume his favorability, maybe there were other uses for keeping it, but the Storm sent a request to follow alone, Chen Ye thought about it carefully, and agreed, he couldn't disagree, Carter may have "Jörmungad" lurking behind him, if this request is refused, he may have to face an unplanned enemy.

Soon the Storm approached the Thunderlight, and then put down a small boat, two people got on the boat and rowed to the Thunderlight, Carter and Manhar boarded the Thunderlight from the boat, and then the Thunderlight left another 10 sailors to go to the Stormwind, with 11 of them is enough to make the Thunderlight run freely, too many people are left to increase weight will reduce the speed, and secondly, the supply of food in the Tamsui River is not enough, the Thunderlight is only equipped with about 10 people for 3 days of fresh water and food, after all, it only takes one day and one night to go to Santes.

"Why did you bring him here?" Chen Ye asked Carter.

"Manha made a bet with me and lost to me, and now he's already doing things for me! He's kind of his own guy, and he's a very good helmsman, and I think we're going to need him. Carter replied.

Chen Ye nodded, and gave the sketched navigation chart to Manerha and said: "Since it is Carter's second mate's recommendation, you will temporarily become the helmsman of the Thunderlight, follow this direction at full speed, I need to arrive at the destination before midnight, pay attention, there may be strange currents there, if you find it, report it in time." Then he winked again and asked Carter to come with him.

Manha is an upright burly black slave, in the early years he has been working as a helmsman on a three-masted galleon, and later after the fleet was annexed by the Lamini Chamber of Commerce, its owner sold him to Heinil in order to pay off his debts, Heinil was very friendly to Manir because he was also a black slave, so Manha did not abandon even when Henier was almost exhausted, and he really got the exact news that the garrison department had executed Henier, and saw the terrifying scene of Henier's transformation into a demon that night, This made him completely break off his old relationship, because during his captivity, Carter had always taken good care of him, so his gambling fight with Carter was deliberate, because he didn't like Zhou Dong, and the two were completely incompatible.

Manerha's ability is there, after he took the helm, Chen Ye obviously felt that the speed of the Thunderlight had risen a little again, and the voyage was more stable, in the captain's room, Chen Ye made Carter a cup of tea, but it was not for drinking, he dipped his finger in the tea and wrote on the table: "He is still listening? But he said separately: "This trip is very rich, and I don't know how Captain Zhou Dong will divide it after he makes this windfall." ”

Carter shook his head and responded directly: "Not at sea, his ability is only on land, which is why I have been on the ocean all year round, not only because of the Kraken's curse." ”

"Huh? There is also this kind of thing, he is not the Four Great Evil Gods......" Chen Ye muttered, and then patted his head and said: "I understand, the black dragon Nidhogg is the overlord of the sky, the earthly giant python Yermungad is the son of the earth, and the North Sea Demon Kraken is a deep sea beast, they have different realms, and if they are staggered, they will no longer be affected by magic power." ”

This explanation is the first time Carter has heard of it, and after thinking about it carefully, it does make sense, and said frankly: "I don't know if he is the Jörmungandr you said, I only know that his strength is very terrifying, my father Howard was exploring a treasure, and found a strange clay pot wrapped in yellow silk, and the silk cloth was also written with dense mysterious symbols, my father seemed to be attracted the moment he saw it, and the whole crew seemed to be bewitched at that time, and approached it inexplicably, listening to its voice, Then my father opened the clay pot......"

"And then?" Chen Ye asked.

Carter shook his head and said, "I was only twelve years old at the time, and I was deliberately raised by my father as a boy, but I didn't get on that island in the first place, and from a distance I only saw my father lift the lid of the clay pot, and then it was empty, but I vaguely felt that something came out, and since then, my father has ...... It's changed! ”

"What do you mean? Is he possessed? Chen Ye's first thought was this situation.

Carter thought back for a moment and sighed: "Maybe, since then, my father Howard, one of the nine pirate kings of the Caribbean, is no longer chasing wealth, he sails towards the depths of the ocean, it is a route without day and night, no wind, no sound, I have been in a daze, and when I am sober again, there is that Kraken battle, I didn't lie to you, I killed the Kraken with my own hands, I saved my father from her, but since then, I never seemed to be able to leave the ocean again, and the thing that had been left on my father seemed to come into my body, and whenever I set foot on land, I could hear him calling out to me, and he listening to everything around me. ”

"My father, Howard, disbanded the fleet and took me to find a way to lift the curse to nothing, and then he died, but since his death, I have been dreaming that his soul is imprisoned in that island where the treasure is buried, and he himself told me that if I go there with a man with magical powers, he will release my father and give it back to me, and I don't know anything else...... I don't have any other thoughts, Chen Yulun, I want you to save my father! Carter said with a bitter look on his face.

Chen Ye touched his chin and said, "So you're going to exchange it for me?" All the dealings of evil gods to mortals are to lure mortals into deeper hell! You haven't heard this old saying, have you? Truth be told, even if you sacrifice me, your father will not be able to live, and even if he does, he will certainly not be Howard anymore. ”

Carter was silent for a moment before he said, "I know, but he's still my father...... And it's too late, he's already eyeing you since you broke the Siren's curse, and if he loses patience and hears your voice again, he'll come straight to you, and the only way to escape is to wander the ocean and never set foot on land. ”

[Side quest 3 (hidden): Katrin's Curse (fully activated); You've been watched by the earthly python Jörmungad, and when you set foot on land, the timer will begin, and when the 24 hours are exhausted, you will face an attack on Jörmungandr. After completing the main quest for a limited time, the quest will return normally, and the quest will enter a suspended state (regardless of the failure penalty), which can be automatically activated the next time you enter the current reincarnation world. 】

"Temple Ruins – Black Dragon Nidhogg; Siren's Curse - Jermungad, the earthly python...... Have you ever heard of 'Catertom'? Chen Ye asked.

Carter was stunned and then said: "He is the legendary god of courage, it is said that the giant wolf Fennil took revenge on the gods and killed mortals, it was Catertom who defeated Fennir, but because Fennel is an evil god, its flesh and blood will be re-animated as long as it touches the sun and moonlight, Catertom in order not to let it appear to kill mortals, so he turned into a god statue and pressed it underneath, so that it will never see the light." ”

"Gotcha! Now it's all done, the 'giant wolf Fennir' corresponding to the statue of Cattom If my prediction is correct, the door to the inner world opened with the oracle scroll leads to the silent sea, which corresponds to the North Sea Giant Kraken...... What's going on? Chen Ye patted his head in annoyance, and finally brushed out a golden-quality meritorious task, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and it faintly constituted a loop, if you want to successfully complete this reincarnation world, you have to choose one of the four clues, otherwise, the difficulty will be too great.

Sure enough, the main quest two does not have a deadline for completing the task, which shows that the difficulty itself is very high, Ramini's treasure house gives so many golden items, but they basically have to be brought out to play a huge role, it may be to make up for the huge loss after completing the main quest, this time the difficulty of the task is obviously very high, so high that the book of heaven has to compensate for the reincarnation in this way.

Chen Ye sighed, he is not a person who likes to retreat in the face of difficulties, the matter has come to this, he can only do his best, at least his calculation at the beginning is right, among the four evil gods, only the "North Sea Giant Demon Kraken" can be killed by him with the help of other characters, and the oracle scroll is the key prop to open this line, he not only got this scroll, but also obtained the right to carry out additional items, regardless of other factors, as long as he killed the "North Sea Giant Demon Kraken", his reincarnation world this time can be said to be fully loaded.

Chen Ye touched the "Yax Soldier Bee", wondering if the "Medusa Pupil" on it could have the legendary ability, directly petrify the target, and complete the kill, thinking about it carefully, he also knew that it was impossible.

Ending Carter's conversation, Chen Ye promised the other party on the surface, and also gave a plan, first to support Zhou Dong to become one of the nine pirate kings, and then use his special identity to let those pirate leaders discover the treasures of the island, everyone went together, even if they used artillery bombardment to blast Yermungad into scum, but in their hearts they scoffed, if Yermungandre could be killed by artillery fire, he would not be sealed there like the giant wolf Feniel, but this move undoubtedly won a lot of Carter's favorability, Chen Ye took the opportunity to ask Carter for "special shooting training."

Carter didn't refuse directly, but shook his head after staring at Chen Ye for a while: "It's not that I don't want to teach you, your current level can't meet the requirements, even if I teach you, you won't be able to comprehend, but if you take a step closer and master the essence of some gunpowder weapons, I think I can teach you my 'burst shot'." ”

"Bang bang bang!" Chen Ye practiced shooting on the deck of the steamer, at this time they entered the downwind zone, and were moving rapidly with the current, and there were many flying fish jumping out of the sea with the help of this tailwind to fly for a short time, Chen Ye's target was these guys, of course, there were unknown creatures that swam from the clear sea water from time to time, Chen Ye also shot and shot, after all, the achievement of "one thousand does not lose one" needs to hit a target that is not weaker than his true attributes, the agility of the flying fish is as high as 14 points, which is barely enough, and the strength value of those creatures under the water will never be less than 10 points.

In less than a few dozen minutes, under a large amount of consumption, Chen Ye directly practiced the proficiency of "Proficiency Flash", he didn't care about wasting ammunition at this time, Carter had already stockpiled a large number of standard steam-powered cores and mechanical bullets on the Thunderlight, Chen Ye directly used the last bottle of proficiency upgrade potion, the use effect of this item is to enter the next level with full proficiency value, and the effect of the proficiency scroll is to increase the designated proficiency level skills (including * entry MAX) by one level, It can be seen which is better or worse, but Chen Ye has never seen the Proficiency Skill Scroll sold on the Tianshu Online, as for the "Proficiency Skill Upgrade Elixir", there is still it, but the price of 1 green consumable item is often more expensive than the silver prop.

In order to save time, Chen Ye spent 2 hours completing the achievement of "One in a Thousand Strikes", and then used it together with the "Combo Master" Proficiency Skill Scroll, which made the "Proficiency Flash" upgrade to B rank, and he now needs 2 Proficiency Skill Scrolls to sprint to MAX, so as to use the "Mastery Skill Scroll" obtained when achieving "Combo Whirlwind".

Chen Ye had already thought about such a situation, so he put down his training and came to the kitchen, because of the streamlining of personnel, the Lei Guang was not equipped with a chef, all kinds of ingredients and fresh water were stacked in the wooden barrels in the kitchen, most of them were pickled meats, and there were many vegetables that were easier to store such as "potatoes", Chen Ye picked up the kitchen knife and began to cook, these ingredients that have not been given attributes by the book of heaven can also be cooked, but the yield is relatively low, Chen Ye hunted a wild boar in the first reincarnation world, In the end, nearly 100 catties of wild boar meat were cooked, and only a dozen points of production were obtained.

Anyway, it is also a tempering achievement, and it is not difficult to achieve the achievement of the upper limit of physical strength of 2000, and it may also be necessary to use the sub-skill of "introductory cooking", Chen Ye thinks that since there is food that can increase the upper limit of life, there must also be food that increases the upper limit of physical strength, and it does not need to be more than 200~300, his upper limit of physical strength at this time has 1200 points, if there are several food auxiliary bonuses, it should not be difficult to reach 2000 points, but as a last resort, Chen Ye still has 1 real skill point, Although it can't break through the realm, it can make the proficiency level sub-skill reach the MAX level.

Chen Ye only felt the benefits of real skill points at this time, and inferred from this trend, if it reaches the top level, the sub-skill scrolls are all golden props, and the real skill points can directly upgrade the sub-skill level, which is equivalent to a general golden prop, and sure enough, every point is quite precious.

In a few hours, Chen Ye passed in the process of making food, nearly 100 catties of ingredients were made, and in the end, he only got 20 servings of food, most of which were white quality, only 6 blue quality and 2 green quality.

Making food requires the consumption of vitality, and vitality is still a hidden attribute, Chen Ye can vaguely feel it, but the state is not shown, when he feels some fatigue during the production process, this proves that the vitality is exhausted, and if he barely makes it, the failure rate will be very high, and there is no extra ingredients to toss, Chen Ye simply went back to the captain's room to sleep, recuperating, he didn't know what would happen after entering the inner world, but it must not be a relaxing and pleasant experience.

Carter had been nervous since the change of course, he knew where they were going, it seemed that he had a similar experience 8 years ago, but now it is different, at that time it was all galleons that could sail by the forces of nature, and now they brought the steam technology of human conquest mythology, even if they entered the windless zone, they would never be as powerless as they once were.

"The ocean currents are getting faster......" Manha said at this time, he is a very cautious person, people who don't know him often think that he is a mute, but he opened his mouth at this time, indicating that this matter is indeed very important, Carter hurriedly went to wake up Chen Ye.

Chen Ye came out of the captain's room, and saw that the sky was cloudy, and the ship was swaying left and right with the waves, as if there was a storm brewing, Chen Ye looked at the main mission, there was still 1 hour to go, because of the addition of Manha, the speed of the Thunder Light increased again, earlier than he expected.

"First mate, the current here is very strange, it is not a branch line, but it is deflecting in a small arc, in my experience, there must be a whirlpool and dangerous place ahead, while the power of the ship can still compete at this time, we should put away the sails and get out with all our might, otherwise we will be swept in, and we will not be able to get out at all." Manha faithfully performs the duties of an experienced helmsman.

"It's already there...... Collect the sails! Everyone hid in the cabin, closed the door, and no one was allowed to come out without my orders! Chen Ye shouted, if the sail is still full at this time, the sea breeze that changes with the ocean current will be unpredictable, and there is no time to catch the wind angle, and it is extremely easy to be blown over by the storm.
