Chapter 5: Encounters with Pirates on the Road
Therefore, Jiang MM, who was still watching it with relish, quickly felt bored with the cookie-cutter seascape, after all, no matter how beautiful the seascape is, they will get tired of looking at it.
But looking at it this way, this mission should last the longest, after all, don't look at the movie It seems that a pirate conference will be held soon, in fact, from Barbossa and Elizabeth they went to the Demon Domain to rescue Jack to the pirate conference, the time transition is calculated in months.
After all, the voyage on the sea is often calculated in ten days and half a month, after all, the voyage from Singapore to the wreck is already very far away.
Therefore, Night Feng naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity, in fact, for the contractor, such a long time is already a very good reward in itself, because here they can use skills unscrupulously to increase the proficiency of skills, and not dare to cast any skills at all, as in the real world.
Of course, compared to being in an absolutely safe space, because no one in the mission world knows if there will be a battle in the next second, even if the proficiency of training skills is maintained, it is necessary to maintain their MP value at the level of more than 50% during training, so that even if a battle occurs in a hurry, the contractors have enough energy to fight.
After all, once the French contractor falls into the empty blue situation, then their combat power is likely to be inferior to that of the summoned beast.
However, despite this, for the contractors, even if the daily training efficiency is only one-third of the space, the time they can have here is more than dozens of times that of staying in the space, so the effect on the contractors to improve their skill proficiency is also conceivable.
Then, under the arrangement of Ye Feng, the four members of the team were also divided into two groups, one group was on guard while the other group was on guard, and at the same time as the vigilance, they were also taking advantage of this time to train.
At someone's strong request, Ye Feng could only reluctantly arrange himself and Jiang MM into a group, and of course the fat consumption was in a group with Zhang Wei.
As for the navigation and control of the ship, it can be left to the doppelganger of the night blade, because although he exists as an entity, as a doppelganger, he does not have the fatigue that a human should have, so he can work all the time without resting.
And because he also has the wisdom of the body, he can solve problems himself, instead of relying on the instructions of the night blade to be able to do things like other summoned beasts, and can only rely on instinct to act without instructions.
In addition, there is also the assistance of the T-1000 Liquid Terminator, so they are also very relieved about the problems of navigation.
For the next day or so, the Sea Dragon also sailed calmly on the sea, except for the occasional storm, the rest of the time was a calm scene.
After more than a day of sailing, he didn't even encounter a sea monster attack, which made Ye Feng, who was ready to reap the benefits by killing the sea monster, feel a little distressed, after all, although he was also very sure about completing the main quest this time, everything had to be taken into account in case of a situation.
Although this may be a low possibility, there are times when things can happen beyond people's imagination, so being prepared for the worst is also a requirement for a leader.
Because if it really happens, then the fine of 50,000 universal points per person, with their current activity funds, then there is only a way to forcibly deduct the equipment on their bodies to pay off the debt.
And the loss for them is also conceivable, after all, whether it is the dark gold equipment on Ye Feng's body or the dark gold shield on Fei Yuan's body, no matter which one of them is lost, it will make their hearts ache incomparably.
What's worse is that there is also a strange contractor in the team who does not use equipment, the archer Zhang Wei!
She doesn't have any equipment on her except a black-level bow, so in order to prevent her from being obliterated, Nightfeng and the others must trade their equipment to her so that she can avoid being obliterated.
Then, after Ye Feng continued to wait for more than half a day, he still didn't see an attack from even a sea monster that was only a beginner legendary.
And this situation is very abnormal, because at sea, for most warships, the danger comes from three aspects, one is the storm that Yefeng has experienced before, and if they don't pay attention to it, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed, and the sailors and goods on the ship will be directly sunk into the sea with the corpses of the ship.
The second is other pirates and armed merchant ships, the former is very easy to understand, after all, merchant ships encounter pirates, the result is naturally self-evident, and although the latter is also a merchant ship, but in fact, there are many armed merchant ships in sometimes cameo role as pirates, looting the cargo of other merchant ships, it is worth mentioning that many pirate ships are armed merchant ships.
It's just that after a few raids, they fell in love with this business, so they degenerated into full-time pirates.
As for the third point, there are sea monsters, in the vast sea, I don't know how many sea monsters have been bred, and they also like the delicious food of humans, so there are also cases of sea monsters attacking merchant ships from time to time.
Of course, the sturdiness of the hull of the average Tier III battleship and the surging firepower are enough to deter the average strength of the sea monster, so whenever they put a few cannons and realize that they are not easy to mess with, those sea monsters with average strength will also know each other very well not to touch such a thorn.
But the reluctance to touch it does not mean that it has not been encountered, in fact, it is often these sea monsters that encounter it first and then give up helplessly after finding out that it is a thorn.
For example, the last time Night Edge entered the mission world of Pirates of the Caribbean, his pirate ship was often able to encounter some sea monsters from time to time at sea, but at that time he had neither the ability to transform into a large octopus, nor the alien army that was good at fighting underwater, so his results were not very many, in fact, he often had to helplessly let go of those prey.
This is also the most helpless place to fight against those sea monsters on the sea, people can't beat you, hide in the deep sea, how powerful your cannon is?
Is it possible to shoot into the deep sea at a depth of several hundred meters?
And now Ye Feng obviously has the strength to easily slaughter these sea monsters, but without the appearance of sea monsters, no matter how strong his strength is, it is useless?
Finally, after some reflection and examination, they finally found out where the problem was.
The reason why none of those sea monsters have been encountered, the real problem lies in the battleship itself!
You know, this battleship can almost be said to be made of the bones of a whole dragon, so it itself also exudes a faint dragon power at all times, which is naturally difficult for ordinary people to find, but for the keen sea monsters, this dragon power is as striking as the sun.
It's like the wild dogs will run away in panic when they smell the smell of the tiger, and the sea monsters are too frightened to approach after they perceive the dragon power coming from the sea dragon.
Those who can ignore this dragon might, except for the legendary sea creatures who are also of the ninth order, other legendary creatures, including those wurm creatures, dare not approach.
In this way, if you want to hunt those sea monsters, you must use those ordinary warships, so Yefeng's hunting plan can only wait until he arrives on Turtle Island to find a way to get a battleship.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, after more than a day of sailing, according to the position marked on the chart, they should not be far from Turtle Island now.
Of course, that assumes that they don't deviate from course.
Otherwise, if you go the other way, you probably won't be able to reach your destination even if you sail for a few months.
Therefore, in addition to obtaining information about the destruction of the Hundred Beast Pirates, it is also necessary to go to Turtle Island, such as some professional pirates with the necessary navigation ability, although his Sea Dragon does not need the operation of pirate sailors to be able to sail automatically, but the Sea Dragon does not have GPS positioning and navigation in later generations, and it can be accurately arrived where it wants to go.
In addition, in order to complete the milestones of the Pirate King and the Pirate Emperor, a large number of warships and thousands of pirates are also essential.
However, when they saw that Turtle Island was about to be in sight, at this time, Fei Yuan suddenly woke up the resting Ye Feng, and when they quickly came to the deck, they saw two warships in front of them rapidly approaching the Sea Dragon.
According to the specifications of these two warships, Ye Feng also found that these were two Class IV warships, and from the skeleton flag hanging on the opponent's mast, it can be clearly known that the identity of the other party is also a pirate.
After all, this place is already very close to Turtle Island, and Turtle Island is also known to be a place where pirates often gather, so it is not uncommon to meet other pirates in the vicinity of Turtle Island.
Of course, black eating black is also more common here.
It seems that the other party is preparing to get an extra profit before entering Turtle Island, after all, even if Yefeng has no cargo on this battleship, but you must know that the Tier III battleship itself is already a lot of profit.
It is worth mentioning that when Ye Feng saw these two pirate ships, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, the other party wanted to rob them, but they didn't know that Ye Feng and they also wanted to eat black.
After all, whether you buy a warship or hire pirates, you don't need enough gold, and if you don't have profits, a fool will help you fight hard!
This is a pillow that fell from the sky when Night Feng really wanted to sleep, and annihilating these two pirate ships could not only get two warships, but also a group of pirates as subordinates, as for those who were unwilling, I believe that the sharks in the Caribbean Sea would not mind enjoying a delicious meal.
And to be honest, if you run into the navy, then even if you are a prisoner, it is very difficult to get the navy sailors to defect, but it is not the same for pirates, they believe in the supremacy of force, as long as your fists are hard, then you are the boss.
A few minutes later, the battleship, which was originally only two small black dots, became clearer and clearer, and when the distance between the two sides was only one nautical mile, only the thunderous cannon sound was heard on the calm sea surface in an instant, startling the seabirds who did not know how many.
"Poof...... Poof"
At this time, I saw several columns of water suddenly rising on the sea surface more than ten meters away behind the Sea Dragon, which was exactly what the shells had splashed when they hit the water just now.
"Boss! Do you want us to shoot back? At this time, looking at the splash near the hull of the boat, the fertilizer consumption was also angry.
"No need." Faced with the mouse's proposal, Ye Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "The other party didn't want to hit us at all, didn't you see that their shells all fell on the back of the battleship?" ”
"The reason why the other side opened fire was completely to prevent us from trying to escape, forcing us to flee forward."
"In order to capture our ship, which looks like a Tier III battleship, through broadside combat."
"So what if we fire the same shots, what if we scare them away or sink them? I'm worried that I don't have enough troops and warships. ”
Yes, Nightfeng didn't say much, you know, although his Sea Dragon didn't even have a three-pounder gun on it, but he had two 90MM cannons, and their range and power were definitely not inferior to the thirty-two-pounder heavy guns of this era.
Even if it's just two, it's a very deterrent terrorist force for ordinary pirates.
After all, it's as powerful as a 32-pound cannon!
You know, if you are only hit by a shell such as a three-pounder gun, as long as it does not hit the part below the waterline, then there is not much threat to the battleship itself, at most it will just blow off a large piece of wood, and it will not affect the normal driving.
However, if it is hit by a 32-pound gun, then for a battleship below Tier III, no matter which part is hit, it will directly blow off more than half of the hull and shatter, which is basically a pirate ship with one cannon.
And in the subsequent shelling process, as Ye Feng said, the pirates' artillery fire has always only appeared in the sea area behind the Sea Dragon, and I don't know how many rounds have been fired one after another, and they are always maintained in the same position.
Once or twice can be a coincidence, and five or six times in a row it can only be intentional.
There is no doubt that the ambitions of the pirates are also obvious at this time, but at the same time, their pirate ship has also approached the Sea Dragon less than 100 meters away, so even if others discover the pirates' intentions at this time, it will be useless.
After dozens of seconds, I saw that the two pirate ships were also sailing on both sides of the Sea Dragon, one left and one right, and at the same time, I saw a large number of rope hooks thrown out of the deck of the pirate ship, tightly hooking the hull of the Sea Dragon, and firmly fixing the other two pirate ships to the side of the Sea Dragon.
Then, I saw a pirate jumping onto the deck of the Sea Dragon with a rope, and I saw that these pirates were almost all naked, after all, you can't expect pirates to be able to wear leather armor, iron armor or something, right?
