Chapter Ninety-Three: Sunset Island
Surut turned around and grabbed it, like a fishhook, he grabbed the wound on the mouthparts of the North Sea Giant Demon, Chen Ye finally approached at this time, he excitedly crossed Surut and began to shoot, the mechanical bullet of the Yax soldier bee is obviously unusable underwater, but Chen Ye also has a "magic bullet", although the power is very low, but as long as it has a "petrified" effect, Chen Ye's other Morath soldier ant will go up and shoot a steam bullet with a "demon fire attached" against the Kraken.
15%、14%、13%…… Chen Ye's two guns naturally cannot be compared with the heavy artillery on the Thunderlight, and the seabed has also promoted the recovery of the Kraken, so the Kraken's health has decreased very slowly, but fortunately, the Kraken's skills have been used on the battleship group of the Italian and French Imperial Navy, and for such a long time, except that when it was used to escape, it actively controlled an earth-shattering wave, and there was no daunting ability.
When the health value is less than 10%, Kraken's attribute data seems to be lower, Chen Ye knows that this is a good phenomenon, proving that Kraken does not have an additional trick to press the bottom of the box, Chen Ye continues to output until all its tentacles are broken, Kraken is like a big round ball at the bottom of the sea at this time, and the health value is less than 2%, and there is already a semi-coma effect of floating and sinking, Chen Ye used the skill of "Voodoo Blood Corpse", and it took a full 5 minutes for this golden quality monster to finally turn into a ball of flesh and blood. It was put into the Sumeru space by Chen Ye.
【Main quest 2 completed】
After getting such a hint, Chen Ye relaxed a little, the North Sea Giant Demon Kraken does not have the attribute of "immortality", coupled with the magical doomsday setting of the watch world, it has been cut by seven or eight percent, plus after a fierce battle of the Italian and French Empire warship group, Chen Ye may only face the Kraken with less than one percent of the strength, this can win so easily, in fact, as long as there is enough cannon fodder to resist the monster's skills, under Chen Ye's demon magic real injury, it is only a matter of time before the monster falls.
After Chen Ye surfaced, there were amazing cheers on the Thunder Light, their great captain finally defeated the demon again, Chen Ye was constantly thrown up and down by the heavy sailors, they celebrated this great victory in such a unique way, but it was not the last.
Carter did not let go of her duty to celebrate, she remembered Chen Ye's words, she could not take it lightly at any time, especially when she was close to the final stage of victory, she was in charge of guarding the observatory and saw that the black pressure in the strait was approaching, and she couldn't help shouting: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”
This is a strange fleet of naval warships mixed with a number of sailboats, the front one is some sailing ships, Carter recognizes, it is the remnants of the pirate ship of Wakman and others, I didn't expect Wakman to throw all their wealth into the empire, after their death, these former pirates were also used as cannon fodder.
"Damn! The steam box is broken! Throw it away, be careful, it will explode at any moment! Manha yelled, he tried to start the steam power to leave the sea, but he didn't expect to start it twice, but it didn't work, and then he checked the steam chamber and found a mechanical failure, which leaked and exploded, and he decisively disassembled it and threw it into the sea.
"Peng!" The steam box that fell into the sea water was pressed by the seawater, and the steam dynamics in the crack were out of balance, which immediately caused an explosion, but only set off a small wave on the surface of the sea.
"Raise the sails! Raise the sails! Manha roared wildly, losing its steam power, the speed of the Thunderlight was drastically reduced, it was not a sailing ship, only two masts to assist the navigation, relying on them to escape the pursuit of the Imperial Navy warship group, it was obviously unrealistic, but he did not want to wait for death, even if there was a glimmer of life, he had to try.
"It's really bad......" Chen Ye sighed, even if it was as strong as Surut, it was impossible to resist a few heavy artillery shots head-on, not to mention that there were dozens of naval warships in the opposite strait, like a toddler, the Thunder Light sailed slowly by the wind, Chen Ye could even hear the ridicule of those people on the naval warship.
The Imperial Navy warships did not immediately pursue and shell, it seems that they wanted to capture the Thunder Light alive, the two wings were separated and outflanked, and the Thunder Light was directly surrounded, and the Thunder Light was still moving slowly, including Carter, everyone's faces showed despair, and there was a public sentence in the hands of the Imperial Navy, and there was a chance to go to the gallows, but in the hands of the Navy in collusion with Gus Brown, they would only use torture to ask about the whereabouts of the treasure.
"Rush over ......" Chen Ye commanded, Manha looked at him in surprise, and then a decisive look appeared in his eyes, and he didn't say more, he personally walked under the sail, using the sailing technique he was most familiar with, capturing every trace of wind, and making the Thunderlight as fast as possible.
Manha seemed to have the illusion that the Thunderlight was really getting faster and faster, but soon he realized that something was wrong, but there were wind and waves on the sea out of thin air, and they were getting bigger and bigger, and the black thunderclouds began to cover overhead, this dangerous feeling made him frightened, and he couldn't help shouting: "Captain! No, a tornado is coming! Can't go any further! ”
"Rush forward! Or you'll be in pieces with these bastards! Chen Ye roared, he had already stood on the bow of the ship at some point, one foot was stepping on the ugly crow statue, the crow statue did not know what strength it had gained, and its two eyes glowed with a bright blue light.
[Eye of the Storm: Quality Green; Ship equipment; Need: "Divinity"; +20% for artillery hits; Storm vision +100%; Thunderstorm: Consumes 500 divinity to create a thunderstorm in an area, lasting 20 minutes, with a cooldown of 1 month.
Bang! With a thunderbolt explosion, the raindrops of beans fell, and a whirlwind frantically advocated this in this area, not to mention the small ship of the Thunderlight, even the navy warship that was twice as large was blown to the ground, only Chen Ye stood at the bow of the ship, letting the wind and rain hit his broad chest, facing dozens of naval warships as if there was nothing, he laughed wildly and controlled the bow long-range gun, and directly hit the battleship less than 1000 meters in front. No one cares about the crazy behavior of the Thunderlight, a naval warship was sucked in by a tornado, and it rolled into the sky in the blink of an eye, torn to pieces by the powerful wind, and there are several such tornadoes, large and small, wreaking havoc in this area, Chen Ye is like he can't see the danger, one shouts Manerha rushed forward, while frantically destroying those naval warships that wanted to escape with long-range artillery, Manerha has never experienced such a thrilling voyage, and every next moment he will be sucked in by a tornado, But at that critical moment, the tornado turned in a different direction and went somewhere else, which made Manha's little heart flutter all the time.
The huge wind force is obviously no longer able to let Manerha operate the sail alone, Carter, a silver-quality character with 35 strength attributes, has also joined the sailing, although his skills are not as good as Manha, but it has made the Thunderlight more stable, many brave sailors have also joined, and even some people pushed away the heavy cannon of the cannon hatch, and used a long plank to poke into the sea and row wildly, although this behavior is stupid, it is impossible to bring much power, but it is shocked by Chen Ye's great courage, They all have a hope of living to die.
Ten minutes passed, the Thunderlight passed through this thunderstorm area, the speed of the voyage slowed down sharply, the sailors looked back, only to see that the thunderclouds were still raging in the place where the tornado was still raging, they couldn't help but be frightened, and at the same time couldn't believe this miracle, they really rushed out of the storm area, and they were surrounded by a powerful group of Imperial Navy warships, the incredible experience of this day simply made them a little numb.
"Captain, go west, in the other direction, it will be 60 nautical miles before there will be a new port city, and we will not be able to escape the pursuit of the navy with two sails, and to the west there is a place that I am familiar with...... I mentioned it to you, Sunset Island! Carter approached Chen Yedao.
Chen Ye glanced at the messy Thunderlight, and couldn't help sighing, he had no better choice, whether it was to the south or east, it was to the familiar route, and the naval warships would definitely chase after them along the route to the port city, and with their current state, even if they went to the port city, they would not dare to dock for repairs, and even the pirate city of Saint-Malo would not be safe, unless it was like Zheng Shi's family, with their own private island as a base, they could rest assured that they could repair it.
And to the west is an unknown deep sea area, the seven seas are not the size of the human beings at this time can be fully explored, the island of sunset is just one of the very inconspicuous routes, in this mysterious sea, there are many unknown mysterious islands, but the accompanying dangers are also conceivable, even the earthly giant python Jörmungandri has been sealed on an island in this sea area, God knows what mysterious those unknown islands will trigger.
"How long?" Chen Ye said a little tiredly, after more than ten hours of continuous combat, even if he is as strong as a reincarnation, he can't bear it, not to mention that aside from the title bonus of "military strategist", he is only one line stronger than the mature men in this world, and he is not even better than Carter.
"Ten days ......," Carter replied without hesitation, apparently with some kind of strange connection to Sunset Island in his heart.
"Verify the supply and personnel losses, Manha, adjust the direction and go west! In my absence, I listened to the first mate Carter. Chen Ye felt sore all over his body, he needed to rest for a while, without Kraken's gaze, he was sailing in the sea at this time, feeling extremely relaxed.
After sleeping for a day and a night, Chen Ye woke up, Luke reported to him the situation of the Thunderlight, the loss of personnel was not large, it was full of 48 people, and now there are 45 people, 3 of them are afraid that they will be accidentally blown away in the storm area, and the supply situation is also very optimistic, and they can maintain a normal diet for about 12 days, but the fresh water is somewhat insufficient, and the machinery for making fresh water is already in operation, and Carter also ordered to catch fish to replenish the supply, which is expected to last for 15 days.
Without the steam power, the most uncomfortable thing should be Manha, he took two sailors to control the sails in shifts, and in his spare time he was still instructing the sailors to dismantle the steam chamber, convert it into a mainmast, and tie the sheets together to make sails, with which the sail should increase the speed of the voyage a lot.
Chen Ye knew that both Carter and Manha were extremely experienced seafarers at sea, even those old sailors had more ways than himself, so he simply lay down in the captain's room to read, and unconsciously achieved the achievement of "reading 100 volumes", obtained the "introductory skills book", and looked at the next "proficient skills scroll", and reached 500 books, Chen Ye was a little dizzy.
Fortunately, Luke scavenged a lot of books for him, and they were not so thick, he could read one in dozens of minutes, and it was easy to read a dozen books a day, and when they found Sunset Island, Chen Ye had only read most of the books in the collection, and the achievement progress of the "little book lover" reached 203/500.
Sunset Island is a circular island, it looks just bare from a distance, there are not even a few trees and jungles, if it weren't for Carter's determination, Chen Ye would have thought that this was just a reef, he pointed to Sunset Island and asked, "Can you land on the shore?" ”
Karton nodded and said: "The location of the center of the island is the secret, as long as you don't enter there, Sunset Island is just an ordinary island, but the products are not rich enough, my father brought people here eight years ago, and it was only a little more than a month later that he encountered danger in the center of the island, and that guy doesn't seem to be able to come out, Manha can take someone here to rest and recuperate, it's still very safe." ”
The so-called product is not rich enough, that is also relatively speaking, Howard led the fleet of a total of hundreds of people to come here, Sunset Island is a small island, naturally it is impossible to provide enough resources, but the Thunder Light is very suitable to stop here, I didn't expect that behind the bare stone mountain is a low wood, and there are a lot of apple trees, between the fruit trees, you can also see some small animals that are not afraid of people, Manha, who has rich experience, judged that the fruit and animals are not in danger after careful inspection, That's when people were arranged to gather and hunt.
There are not only heavy guns on the Thunderlight, but also conventional firearms, and they are all the standard rifles of the red policemen in Lunt City, which may not be enough for firepower, but it is enough for hunting, only the sound of gunfire can be heard one after another, and after a while, many sailors came to the camp with their prey.
Rabbits, squirrels, pheasants, these animals are the most, in Chen Ye's opinion, it seems that who deliberately raised them, could it be that these animals are all "snacks" of Jörmungand? Because it is not an ingredient identified by the information of the Book of Heaven, Chen Ye is too lazy to do it, and let the chef on the ship cook it and bring it to him, this is a roasted rabbit with oil, and there is a strong apple fragrance when he eats it, Chen Ye rubbed a red apple, and after taking a bite, he didn't expect to receive a prompt message.
[You eat the "Dusk Apple", and your mood is +1 within 1 hour]
Mood? Another hidden attribute that was not shown, Chen Ye couldn't help but start to look at the apple in his hand, stared at it for a while, and then gradually appeared on the retina A line of small words,
【Dusk apples: white ingredients; Shelf life 7 days; Legend has it that Adam also ate apples to be happy; Divine creatures can increase the recovery rate of divine value when consumed.
Chen Ye's eyes lit up, it was the first time he saw a prop that could restore the divine value, and he was considering whether to pick more for storage, but the 7-day shelf life didn't seem to be able to store it for a long time, even the Sumeru space didn't have the effect of "embalming", thinking of this, he couldn't help but pat his head and say to himself: "What a fool!" I'll just transplant a few seedlings to the boat! As long as you return to the Tianshu space, you may be able to find planting furniture."
Now that he has come to Sunset Island, Chen Ye naturally pays more attention to related tasks, only to see the 24-hour countdown, since he stepped on Sunset Island, it has been gradually decreasing, in fact, he has not set foot on land at all before, more or less walking, but most of the time is still accumulated, so that when he is on Sunset Island, he still has a full 20 hours, and after these times of consumption, there are still 17 hours.
Chen Ye is thinking about whether to actively trigger the task process, or passive trigger, from the practice of "Kraken", passive triggering will bring the task into the surface world, and it will also have a huge impact on reality, and to a certain extent, passive triggering actually strengthens the ability of monsters, Kraken, as a golden monster with an extreme value of 40 points, is not the top of this world, but in that environment, he hangs a whole fleet of 100 ships, Chen Ye asked himself if he faced the intact Kraken at the beginning, He also had to play his hole cards to the fullest, and he could never win so easily.
If it is actively triggered, it must be the target of the incomplete state, just like the giant wolf Fennil, although it has been revealed that it is a golden monster with an extreme value of 45 points, but in the actual battle, the giant wolf Fenir is obviously in an incomplete state, with an ability of less than 35 extreme points, if it is not for the "immortal" trait, it is indeed a headache, Chen Ye doesn't even think that it is much stronger than a green magic creature "Medusa", of course, this is also because he has such a powerful help as Surut.
"I'll go to the center of the island now." Chen Ye found Carter and said, he finally decided to take the initiative to trigger the event, after all, the current surrounding environment is mainly his sailors, in case the Thunder Light is destroyed in the battle, then he really can't cry, do you want to swim to Lunt City? He hasn't finished the main quest three yet.
Carter hesitated for a while, but sighed, she stood on the land, she was monitored by Jörmungandr all the time, if she violated her will, she would probably be punished, only at sea, she could be regarded as completely owned, hearing Chen Ye say this, she could only agree.
Just like that time on the twilight battlefield in the inner world, it was the same way, Manha took the sailors to camp in the camp, and he and Carter were exploring the unknown mysterious area, but that time it was accompanied by Katrin, and this time it was with Carter, in comparison, Chen Ye was still more comfortable with Carter's existence, and there was one more Surut.
