Chapter 4: Encountering a Storm
It is worth mentioning that when the captain of the merchant ship saw the pattern of the flag hanging on the battleship Yefeng Sea Dragon, he also seemed to suddenly think of something, and his face changed instantly.
Then I saw that his face suddenly showed a hesitant expression, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly shouted to the departing Night Blade, "Please wait a minute! ”
Hearing the captain suddenly stop him, Ye Feng couldn't help but turn around and ask, "What's wrong?" Is it because we have your charts so that you can't find a route back to land? If that's the case, then I wouldn't mind asking you to paint it all over again. ”
"No, it's not." I saw the captain shake his head and said: "Actually, for me, I don't know how many times I have traveled these routes, so even if there is no chart, I can smoothly lead the ship back to the port." ”
"The reason why I carry this chart is also to prevent me from having accidents, illnesses, etc., when I can't navigate, so that my subordinates can also sail according to the map."
"And the reason why I stopped you is because of the flag you flew on your ship!"
Looking at the flag of the Hundred Beast Pirate Regiment that the captain was referring to, I don't know why, but when I heard this, a very uneasy feeling suddenly rose in Ye Feng's heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Why!?"
"Because the pirate group flying this flag heard that they have offended one of the nine pirate kings of Singapore, the king of pirates - Howling Wind!"
"This pirate group was directly wiped out by the Howling Wind Pirate King, and I don't know what this pirate group offended the Howling Wind Pirate King, after he killed all the crew, he actually hung his body on the port of Singapore for public display!"
"And there are many rumors circulating at sea because of this, one of which is that this pirate group has a magical warship that can release magical and strange fog, so it was taken by the Howling Wind Pirate King, and there is also a theory that this pirate group intercepted and killed a ship under the command of the Howling Wind Pirate King, so it got into this trouble."
"Anyway, there are different opinions about these claims at sea, and no one knows what the reason is, so everyone is just guessing."
"However, I heard that the Howling Pirate King is still offering a bounty for the power of this pirate group, so if you fly this flag to the pirate port, then the Howling Pirate King will soon know about it."
"I know that with your strength, you could easily kill the members of our entire ship, but you didn't do it, and you didn't rob us of a single gold coin, so I am also very grateful for what you did, so returning this information to you can be regarded as repaying you for sparing our lives."
"Howling Wind!" At this time, hearing that the pirate group that he had worked so hard to pull up had been wiped out, Ye Feng's heart was naturally very angry, but for him, the most angry thing was that the other party would kill him, why would he hang the corpse on the port to show the public, this is simply Chi LL's provocation!
However, he also sensed that something was very wrong, even if the Howling Wind Pirate King took a fancy to the ghost mist ability on his Windwind, but it was just a matter of killing people and robbing ships, and there was no need to make such a provocative act.
After all, with the power of the other party, there is no need to carry out similar dramas such as killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.
Unless the other party's main intention is not Yefeng's men and warships, but himself, through such provocative behavior, he will attract him as the leader of the Hundred Beast Pirate Regiment.
After all, the captain of a warship could tolerate his subordinates being bullied by other forces like this, unless he was no longer ready to continue at sea, otherwise, who would want to be with such a cowardly captain?
At this time, seeing that Yefeng had not moved to replace the pirate flag on the Sea Dragon, he saw that the captain was also kind enough to let his subordinates help.
However, at this time, Ye Feng suddenly shook his hands to stop the captain's kind gesture and said, "Anyway, I am very grateful for your information here, so I am not afraid to tell you that I am actually the leader of the Hundred Beast Pirate Regiment!" ”
"It's just that I've been staying in the mysterious ancient country of the East for the past few years, and I've just come back in the past few days, since the Howling Wind Pirate King killed my subordinates, then whether it's reasonable or reasonable, I have to avenge my subordinates and ask for an explanation."
"Therefore, I am not afraid that they will come to me, but I am afraid that the other party will flee to an unknown place and hide."
Hearing Ye Feng's arrogant words, I don't know why, but the captain didn't feel funny in his heart, because the other party does have the right to say this kind of thing, so it seems that in the next time, the sea will definitely set off earth-shattering waves because of this, but I don't know who on both sides will have the last laugh in the end.
However, looking at the terrifying and terrifying creatures under the other party's command, this captain still really felt that Nightblade's chances of victory were higher, so it seemed that the identity of the Howling Wind Pirate King was about to change hands.
At this time, Ye Feng also suddenly took out a large pile of gold coins and threw them on the captain's deck and said, "There are about a thousand gold coins here, thank you for the information you brought me." ”
After speaking, under the control of his mind, the Sea Dragon battleship also suddenly turned around and sailed quickly in the direction of Turtle Island, although it was in a state of headwind at this time, and there was no assistance from a large number of oarsmen, but the speed of the Sea Dragon was as fast as an arrow from a string, and a white water mark was instantly drawn on the calm sea.
And this is because the power source of the Sea Dragon is a giant dragon's dragon crystal, so even if it is just normal operation, the strength of its burst is conceivable.
Therefore, even under such circumstances, the speed of the Sea Dragon was stable at about 30 knots, which was already equivalent to the maximum speed of the Tempest, the former flagship of the Night Front.
And if he increased the energy in the dragon crystal, then the speed of the Sea Dragon could soar to an astonishing speed comparable to that of the Black Pearl, but doing so would greatly speed up the energy reserves in the dragon crystal.
At this time, when the merchant ship behind him had been left far behind and could not be seen, he also used dark gold equipment - the equipment on Smith's doppelganger necklace comes with its own skill - clone!
I saw that in the next second, an entity clone that looked exactly like Ye Feng appeared beside him, and after the main body and the clone bowed slightly, both sides did not need to speak, and the clone had already taken over the authority to control the Sea Dragon from the hands of the main body.
This is also the most powerful part of the doppelganger's ability, because this doppelganger has intelligence that is not inferior to the main body, so he can do things in many situations that even a ninth-order legendary creature that is stronger than the Beamon Behemoth cannot do.
And after being liberated from the work of controlling the Sea Dragon, at this time, Ye Feng also began to cast the primary-level undead summoning, continuously summoning skeleton soldiers, and the reason why he did this was naturally to summon the three-headed high-level undead creatures by constantly summoning the trigger chance of the primary-level undead creatures before the war began.
After all, after these three high-level undead creatures are summoned, as long as they do not die, they can always exist in this mission world.
However, this time, Yefeng's luck did not seem to be very good, and it took a full hour to successfully summon the three high-level undead creatures: vampire warriors, death knights, and corpse witches.
And after more than an hour, he looked at the cloudy sky in front of him, and his brows furrowed.
Because as he has lived at sea for nearly a month, he also knows very well what such weather means at sea, which means that a storm is about to set off stormy waves on the sea.
Generally speaking, when a battleship encounters a storm, it will drop anchor and put the sails away, stabilizing the hull so that it will not be overturned in the stormy waves.
However, for the Sea Dragon, even in the face of a Category 10 typhoon, it is still immovable.
At this time, I saw Ye Feng nod slightly at the clone, and then, I saw a reddish light mask suddenly rise from the deck of the Sea Dragon.
This is the Sea Dragon's own energy shield, which is powered by the fire dragon crystal inside the hull, and no attack can cause any damage to the humans inside the shield until the energy is exhausted.
Of course, the more powerful the attack, the more energy the dragon crystal needs to consume.
Fortunately, unless a tornado hits the Sea Dragon head-on, the energy required is not very large.
Sure enough, as Ye Feng expected, it didn't take long for him to see that the dark clouds in the distance were already shrouded in the sky above the Sea Dragon, and the dense dark clouds also blocked the scorching sun's rays.
All of a sudden, Nightfront felt as if they had gone from day to night, and the surroundings became dark and dark.
Only the great lightning that shone from time to time in the dark clouds brought a flickering light to the dim sky.
I saw that the dark clouds were accompanied by dazzling lightning flashes, and the rumbling thunder was also like the roar of Thor.
The waves rolled up by the powerful storm suddenly lifted more than ten meters high, layer after layer like waves kept lapping over, although the protective cover on the outside of the Sea Dragon could offset the storm, but it could not let the hull not sway because of the wind and waves.
I saw the Sea Dragon swaying violently up and down, as if they had done a roller coaster, Jiang MM and them, who had never experienced such an encounter, also turned pale, and they had to endure the vomiting feeling that was about to erupt.
However, there is no good way to deal with this, after all, you must know that even if it is a modern 10,000-ton ship, the hull will still shake in the face of a big storm, not to mention that the tonnage of his Sea Dragon is only 200 tons.
In addition, even if he lets the Sea Dragon fly into the sky now, because of the strong hurricane, the hull will still shake as it is now, and it is necessary to maintain the energy of flying in the air and the energy output of the protective cover, even if it is Long Jing, it can't withstand such a two-pronged consumption!
Therefore, instead of wasting that unnecessary energy, it is better to stay at sea honestly.
Anyway, the worst-case scenario is that everyone experiences seasickness.
Fortunately, because the power source of the Sea Dragon relies on the power of the dragon crystal, rather than the sails and manpower, even in such a storm, it is still moving forward steadily.
Looking at the howling wind outside the protective cover, lightning flashed in the air one after another, and huge waves split over one after another, making people unconsciously feel the insignificance of being a human being in the face of such a heavenly wrath.
This is the storm above the sea!
I believe that if the other contractors encounter such a big storm, then they really have the possibility of shipwreckage and death.
It is worth mentioning that the storms above the sea are limited, and the area covered by the storm is actually limited, so as long as you quickly escape from the scope of the storm, then you will find that the edge of the storm is a sunny and calm scene.
It's like hell and heaven.
It's just that in addition to the fact that the 10,000-ton giant ship is sure that it can continue to sail in the storm, if a small-tonnage ship wants to sail away under such a storm, it is simply a matter of asking for death without discussion.
However, this small tonnage does not include the Sea Dragon of the Night Front, and I saw that it sailed in one direction as firmly as a leisurely stroll in the stormy waves of the wind, and the storm and the huge waves could not stop its footsteps at all.
So finally, after the Sea Dragon continued to sail at a speed of 30 knots for half an hour, it finally sailed out of the storm.
When the Sea Dragon rushed out of the storm, it was bright and quiet in front of me, no hurricanes, no stormy waves, only a calm sea.
Everything came so suddenly, it was a storm just now, and now it is peaceful and calm, and the contrast is too great.
If it weren't for the lightning and thunder that flickered from time to time in the large dark clouds behind the Sea Dragon, then Yefeng would really feel that the storm just now was just a dream.
At this time, I saw a large flock of seabirds flying in the air in flocks under the blue sea and blue sky in the distance, and occasionally one or two of them suddenly burrowed under the sea surface, and after dozens of seconds, I saw this seabird fly out of the water again.
At this time, it can be clearly seen that it has a sea fish in its mouth.
And looking at such a beautiful sea view, Jiang MM, who was dizzy, also barely lifted their spirits and concentrated on appreciating it, after all, for them, it was the first time they had seen such a scene in their lives.
It's as if it's our first time at sea, and any scene on the sea will seem particularly fresh and curious.
However, no matter how beautiful the scene is, it will become boring and cause fatigue, which is the so-called aesthetic fatigue.
It's like no matter how beautiful a beauty is, once she becomes your wife, a few years later, even if she is still as beautiful as new, but in your eyes, it will be the same reason that she will become a yellow-faced woman, in fact, this is also the relationship between many men with beautiful wives will still go to find a mistress, although the appearance of this mistress is likely to be inferior to his wife.
