Chapter 265: Pirates (2-in-1)
"Pioneer..?"
Wu Hong was puzzled at first, and then praised everyone, feeling that this name was very suitable for his team, if he waited for this ship to become famous in this world, he had to say that it was still a kind of 'propaganda'. β
The faucet is really powerful, a simple name, it says so much truth.
It's better to wait for someone else.
"That's a good name." Everyone nodded one after another, their faces were heartfelt in agreement, and they did not doubt him.
"Let's go." Jiang Cang stood at the bow of the ship, looked at the appearance of everyone, looked at the sea to the south, and motioned to the crew and the first mate to do it, the name and ship number are here, and it is time to set sail.
Tout and joke about yourself for a while, you don't have to leave tonight, let's spend the night here.
"Departure. Departure.."
Wu Hong and the others laughed and began to sort out and take over their duties, and they didn't joke anymore, and they all started to do things seriously.
Wait for the 'bang' water to sound.
Jiang Cang looked at the sea under the ship from the bow of the ship, and the Pioneer he was riding was like a deer-horned water beast, breaking through the waters of the sea.
At the beginning of the trip, there was no problem, there was nothing wrong with the ship.
In other words, the wood of this ship was catalyzed and grown by Master Yun with the blessing of spiritual energy.
At the end, a layer of tree grease was also crossed, which was thickened, strong, and moisture-proof.
On quality.
Ordinary people use ordinary sharp knives to cut on it, but it is only a shallow knife mark, there will be no so-called 'three points into the wood', as fragile as the model, can only be seen, not touched.
This time it's a real guy, it's about the pioneer team's first trip props, and all the team members are joking at it, but they're actually very concerned.
If everyone is so serious, they will fall apart as soon as they go to sea.
Come on, the five of them don't need to go anywhere, they just do table mahjong on the island, and play a world to finish.
"There are no problems with the hull .."
As soon as the Pioneer sailed out to sea, Yunmu began to patrol around, stroking the pole and hull of the ship from time to time with his palms, correcting any defects and making up for them slightly, without damaging the overall structure.
Now, he is reporting on the nautical measured data that he has sorted out.
"There are no problems with the cabins and lounges." The shadow stepped out of the door in the center of the ship, having already inspected all the internal hulls, and the two men went back and forth to make sure they were in order.
It is also the two of them who are 'crew members', so they must first be familiar with the roles and integrate into ordinary life.
"The first mate's job is interesting." Wu Hong is standing under the flagpole, really like the first officer, under the command of the owl, manipulating the flagpole, so that the sails sewn from thirty-two animal skins on the pole of the ship, facing the sea breeze, full of drums, bursts of sound, so that the pioneer course is in the direction of Egret Island.
From time to time, Xiao sensed the hints in his mind, and asked Takehiro to slightly offset the sails to ensure that the route passed straight, which was better than a compass.
Jiang Cang has been standing next to the rudder on the inside of the bow, holding the rudder with one hand, propping up the scabbard on his side with the other, tapping the handle of the long knife with his fingers, blowing the sea breeze, quite leisurely.
Perhaps, the captain is like this, just wait for the crew and the first mate to do their work.
At least in the Pioneer, within the Pioneer team, as the captain and the leader.
I really don't know what to do, but I can still see the scenery on the sea, listen to the low chirping of seabirds, and the fish jumping out of the water from time to time.
And after a few miles at sea in the Pioneers, everyone was familiar with the operation, and everything was normal with the Pioneer.
Xiao also looked at Wu Hong, who was arranging the sails of the animal skin, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a bird in the air landed on his arm,
"It will help us identify the distance ahead, the sea area, and see if there are islands or other islands like the previous islands."
Xiao said, looked at the dragon head at the rudder of the ship in front of him, and when he saw Jiang Cang signaling him to continue, he continued according to the itinerary agreed with the dragon head in the afternoon: "If there is a small island nearby, and it is not far from our ship, and there is a spiritual energy fruit on the island..."
Xiao looked at Yunmu and Shadow, "Master Lao Yun and Master Ying got off the boat and went to the island to pick." When the time comes, you can pick it and follow it back to the boat. Of course, the three of us went back and forth in a loop, keeping the two of us resting on the boat, and our spirits were at their peak. β
"Okay." Yun Mu nodded, this is all a trivial matter, in fact, he wants to say that he can do it, and he doesn't need to trouble Brother Xiao and Brother Ying.
"I'll just go myself." The shadow is more direct, directly with a big bag, and if you want to contribute something to the team, you can't take advantage of it every day, and you haven't done any work until now.
'Sharing information', he's eaten several times.
But.
Xiao didn't agree, but pushed left and right: "Let the three of us take turns, it's Master Jiang's intention." If there is anything wrong with Master Ying, I can't be the master. β
'It means dragon's head..' The shadow thought about it, looked at Jiang Cang again, thought about it, and really didn't dare to bring up the old things again, saying that he was going.
But this kindness was really uncomfortable, and he thought about it, but he was still ready to repeat it carefully.
"Dragon's head.."
"Don't say that you are not gracious, and you owe it." Jiang Cang's body was half leaning on the rudder, looking at the sea in the distance, "Picking a small thing about picking a fruit and sesame seeds, whoever goes is the same, it is his own people, his own friends, don't mention this little thing to me again." Just listen to Master Xiao's arrangement. β
"I.." The shadow was stunned, and he couldn't say anything in his heart, but he clearly felt that he was valued by others, and it was the same friendship as the tribulation.
"It's too far." Jiang Cang pointed to the endless sea and smiled, "It's still the same sentence, how much ability does a person have to swim over alone?" β
"I'll tell you the truth!" Wu Hong put down the rope in his hand, looked at the shadow, and shouted in a loud voice: "In addition to Master Jiang, our team is now the second master, and Master Ying is the second master, and he needs to maintain the peak of his spirit... You don't want to be for yourself, but also for our team! Just be alive, what do you want to do so much? β
"Master Wu's words are true." Jiang Cang smiled when he heard Wu Hong's words, and the aura of the previous half of the cultured people suddenly disappeared.
No way, what people say is indeed reasonable.
If the words are rough, it is not rough.
The team must keep running in and communicating more in order to maintain a closer and closer relationship.
Otherwise, it's all a stuffy gourd mouth, and I can't say a word for a long time, who knows who is thinking what, and what to do is guessing, in case I accidentally hurt my friend, it's too tiring.
And as time passes.
All the way south.
In five days, the Pioneer traveled half the way through the 3,000-mile sea.
The three of them were through the news of the seabirds, and the two of them, Yunmu and Shadow, took turns treading water back and forth, and went to the nearby island to bring back the fruit with spiritual energy.
They didn't encounter any trouble on the way, and there were really many resources in the sea here.
Sometimes you don't need a seabird to bring back news, the river goshawk can see a small island looming in the distance when you look two miles away.
But whether the trees on the island bear spiritual fruit or not is another story.
In five days, the three of them went to a total of thirty-seven islands, and only four of them had such spiritual energy fruits.
Among them are coconuts, apples, and a fruit that is not in reality, but is similar to a fig, and so on.
The types are strange, and everyone counts them last, and according to statistics, there are a total of 1,267 pieces.
Then round it up according to the large number and calculate it with the total amount of aura.
Yun Mu calculated that these fruits were equivalent to 'forty-one innate elixirs!' β
It's enough for a few people in the team for half a year.
Of course, if you count the faucet, this time has to be cut in half.
But these are given away for free, and if you take them, the medicinal effect is similar to that of the Innate Spirit Pill, which is a kind of 'accelerated cultivation', and it can't be said that it is a big gift from the Yuan Energy World to the pioneer team!
Naturally, in addition to encountering some innate demon beasts and fierce beasts on the road, it is indeed a gift of harmony.
But once these monsters are killed, it is also a good meal gift.
In Jiang Cang's thoughts, they are all sent.
Everyone was constantly eating meat along the way, killing seven congenital low-level water beasts, as well as some small demon beasts with acquired physiques.
And it's also today, noon on the sixth day.
The sun shines, and the eyes reflected on the sea surface are all flowers.
It's just that the temperature is not high, similar to autumn, the sea breeze is blowing, some wet, and some cold, quite comfortable weather.
Jiang Cang and the others sat on the bow of the boat eating barbecue, and the juice of the crushed spiritual qi fruit was very smooth, and they were in a comfortable mood with this comfortable temperature.
Wu Hong also asked Yunmu to make some fruit wine, sipping it, leaning against the side of the boat, blowing the sea breeze, really like he was traveling.
Jiang Cang didn't care about everyone, the degree of fruit wine is not high, and he won't get drunk, so drink a little, they are all friends, there is no need to be so strict, drink some yourself.
But.
In addition to drinking and blowing the sea breeze.
Jiang Cang ate grilled fish and meat, occasionally tasting a bite of fish soup, and was also thinking, thinking that since he came to this world, he found that the inheritance and the Divine Beast Illustrated Book have corresponding 'vague hints. β
It's just that this hint seems to need to be unraveled. β
The goal is to point to the 'Egret Island', or is it because of his own inheritance and illustrated book that this 'instant quest' about Egret Island will be generated? β
Including the divine bead also points there, as if it is the beginning of everything, as long as you follow it, you will find out the mystery and open the treasure about this world.
Or, to put it more bluntly, a vault that helps you.
According to the current itinerary, it is estimated that there will be four days left.
But also as Jiang Cang pondered.
At the same time, on the sea five miles away.
There was a black lacquered wood ship that was several laps larger than the Pioneer, heading in the direction of Jiang Cang.
And there are more than 50 people on this ship, all of whom are strong, upright and middle-aged men, and their realms are all acquired, and they are a group of good players.
The first person is wearing a short shirt, with a calm breath, and he is a master of congenital success!
However, their temperament is a little ruthless, there is an indelible evil aura in their eyes, there are many swords around them, there are gun muzzles on both sides of the hull, and there are unclean blood stains in the cracks of the wooden planks on the ship, they are not like good people, they are a group of pirates active in this area.
Also at this time.
A pirate at the bow of the ship, holding a telescope with a single beam of spirit stones, when he saw the ship three miles away, Jiang Cang and the others were still a little full of new energy, he shouted at everyone: "Come to the fat sheep~ Look at them, there are not many people on the ship.."
"There's a ship coming?"
"Where?"
There was a commotion on the ship, and the 'sonorous' sound of swords and soldiers sounded.
"Wait.." As a congenital master, the pirate leader waved his hand, took the strong man's telescope, looked at the ships of Jiang Cang and the others, and then said: "It seems that they are coming from the direction of Guodao, and they may be friends from Guodao." If this hits your own people, although the sea sinks, you can't find anything, but what if you find it? Say that I don't know the rules? Let your own people fight? β
"Third Master Qi is right!" The pirates shouted loudly, and their enthusiasm was not extinguished.
"Draw in and ask them." Qi Sanye smiled, waved his hand, and handed the telescope to the first mate next to him.
The first mate took it, and finally determined the position of Jiang Cang and the others through the telescope, and shouted towards the sails: "North sixth, north fourth, east three, each lower half a sail!" Move closer to the ship to the north! β
The wind blew, the blackened and worn canvas was lowered, and the ship shifted its direction towards the Pioneer.
It's also at this time.
The two ships gradually approached.
Jiang Cang also saw this pirate ship, and saw that many pirates on the board of the ship were eyeing him and others.
"The boat from over there~ Ask something.."
Wait for the distance to approach, 200 meters, 100 meters, 50 meters.
Qi Sanye was really bold, he stood directly at the bow of the boat, and while greeting Jiang Cang and the others, he asked people to change the direction of the sails, and at a distance of fifty meters, they were almost walking side by side with the pioneers.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Cang thought about walking for five days, and finally saw people, and he was not stage frightened, so he first signaled to Xiao and the others to rest assured, and then he also stood at the bow of the ship, looking at Qi Sanye who was more than fifty meters away, as well as the many pirates on the ship, ignoring the swords and ropes in their hands.
That's all there is to it.
Seeing that Jiang Cang was not afraid, Qi Sanye circled in his heart, feeling that Jiang Cang was either pretending to be calm, or he had something in his hand.
Otherwise, on this vast sea, there are only five people on their boat? How bold is that? Or is it a silly boy by luck?
There are really a lot of such people.
Qi Sanye was originally there, and there were many pirates under them, all of whom thought they could conquer the sea, but in the end they were captured, abducted, and sold, and all of them fell into thieves.
"Where did you come from?"
Qi Sanye shouted, clichΓ©d, not looking at the people behind him, he could be regarded as politely asking.
But he didn't wait for Jiang Cang to speak.
Wu Hong's temper was drinking wine, and he was in a comfortable mood, seeing these pirates coming to find trouble, ask questions, and explore himself and others, he didn't give them a twist, and scolded directly,
"You guys are bad luck! If you rush to death and reincarnate and become successful, I will fulfill you now! β
"Who the are you calling?"
"Want to die?"
Some pirates scolded in a low voice, and some shouted with knives on, they were all big players who licked blood with knives, and they really wouldn't be frightened by Wu Hong's words.
If you don't listen to this good word, then whoever is reincarnated, just practice, how simple it is.
"Eh.. Eh.." Seeing that Jiang Cang and the others were so confident, Qi Sanye stopped everyone behind him, thought about it, first smiled apologetically at Wu Hong, who was full of anger, and then hugged his fists at Jiang Cang and the others: "I, Qi San, saw that my friends came from the north, dare to ask if it was the patrol on the other side of Guodao?" β
"Not really." Jiang Cang also stopped Wu Hong, looked at the pirate leader, and saw if he could ask for any information, so he didn't do anything first, and asked: "We are a cruise ship from Zhangzhen, and we are going to Ludao to pick up guests." β
"Heron Island?" Qi Sanye's eyes narrowed a little, listened to the people around him scolding in a low voice, and then looked at Jiang Cang and the others carefully, and saw that Jiang Cang and the others were dressed ordinarily and did not have the temperament of a master, so he was a little relieved, and seemed to say Ludao, "Ludao is a four-way zone.. Where do you pick up customers? Tourism? β
"I want to have fun, too." Jiang Cang was unmoved, "I've heard of it a long time ago, I'm curious." I came out with my friends. β
"Curious? Then you know a lot of news.." Qi Sanye showed a mouthful of white teeth, which is a clear target of 'congenital rebirth', on this sea, in these years, it is really not easy to have a mouthful of white teeth.
At the same time, Qi Sanye pondered in his heart for a while, and asked, "Let me ask something, do you know the 'Black Ying'?" ββ
Qi Sanye said, when he mentioned the 'Black Ying', there was a lot of awe in his eyes.
Because the captain of the 'Black Ying' is the 'pirate king' of this sea area, not only can the legendary black magic, evil witchcraft, but also the strength is unfathomable!
Even an innate martial artist like him is subservient to his jurisdiction, eating some leftovers on the territory of the Black Ying, and handing over some more when the time comes.
Otherwise, if he doesn't pay it, he will have to be chased and killed by the people of the Black Ying, leave this sea, find a new place, and then mix and start all over again, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"The Black Response?" When Jiang Cang heard what the pirate leader said, he wrote down the name, and shook his head again: "This is really not clear, I just came here, and I am not very familiar with this sea area." β
"You don't even know the Black Response?" Qi Sanye asked rhetorically, and then looked at the hot-tempered Wu Hong, who also looked like 'Lao Tzu cares who the Heiying number is', but his heart was a little more relaxed, and he asked again: "So... You've really come all the way? From that what town? β
"Yes." Jiang Cang nodded, and said honestly, "It's been 30,000 miles." β
"You're in luck." Qi Sanye smiled, as if he was envious of the luck of Jiang Cang and the others, "With such a long route, you can run over unharmed, and the thunderstorm did not swallow you... The ship also has no black magic and Taoist blessings."
Qi Sanye said, laughing louder, and looked behind him with a smile on his face: "I don't know anyone, bluff fucking hard!" Set up a cannon, take the shipside, sink them! β
