Volume 1 • Across the Seven Seas [006] Hunt and kill
Willalia Island, Pixar City, Pinbofort.
In the middle of the night, Jobs was woken up by the butler, and he put on his shirt under the service of two beautiful maids, then he looked at the butler and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Master, Miss Jenny dreamed that Master Jodas was killed in battle. The housekeeper bowed his head and reported.
Jobs was silent for a moment and asked, "Killed in battle?"
"Yes. The butler nodded.
Jobs looked at the butler and wondered, "Jodas has a ghost bride, and she is skilled in knives, it's hard for me to imagine... Just a pirate, why did you kill Jodas?"
"Miss Jenny suspects that the Pirate's Son is in possession of a cursed relic, and in exchange for an arm, he fires a white light that kills Lord Jodas. The butler replied.
Cursed relics, ordinary people simply can't use them, and even if they do, they have to pay a huge price.
Jobs's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Go and call Joyce and Julian over, and say that I have something to explain." ”
"Yes. The butler immediately stepped back.
Ten minutes later, two blonde men came over, led by the butler.
"Jodas was killed by the son of a pirate, and the blood feud must be avenged, and besides, the son of a pirate is suspected of being in possession of a cursed relic, which will become a great disaster in time, you two will take a trip, and I will see the head of the son of a pirate hanging in the port of Joe in a week!" Jobs said, looking at the two of them.
Joyce smiled, "Uncle, I promise you, in a week the pirate's son's head will be hanging in the harbor." ”
"Very well, I'll see, let's go!" Jobs nodded.
The next moment, Joyce's body turned into countless paper figures and flew away, while Julian bowed slightly, and then his body turned into countless bats and flew away.
......
Early in the morning, the storm stopped.
The sun gradually rose, and the sea was calm, as if last night's stormy waves were all illusions.
Jon ate chaff with one hand and steered the Glory to the side of the Black Knife, and a bridge was quickly erected between the two ships, and the controlled sailors began to transfer the supplies from the Glory to the Black Knife.
Hawkins personally boarded the Glory to study Jodath's corpse, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
Both genetically and energetically, Jodas is an ordinary carbon-based life form, with no mutation or anything else.
In the end, Hawkins simply buried Jodas at sea, leaving only a vial of blood, and waited until he had time to study it slowly.
"Captain, your sword!"
Hawkins returned to the Black Knife with the vial of blood, and Jon followed, handing him a black knife like a treasure.
The Black Knife No., in fact, has two meanings, one is that the keel of the Black Knife is like a black knife, which is extremely aggressive when it collides, and the second is this veritable black knife.
It has no name, or the name is called the Black Knife, and it is a weapon that Hawkins's grandfather accidentally acquired when he went out to sea to fish.
Hawkins put down the bottle and took the black knife from Jon's hand, pulled the knife out of the scabbard and stuck it on the board, and gently stroked the blade with his right hand, but he didn't know what the black knife was made of.
He had seen countless wonderful substances in the past, but he could be sure that the Black Knife was not any known matter from the previous universe.
The black knife is not sharp, the only advantage is that it is relatively strong, and the three generations of grandparents have used the black knife as a weapon, but the black knife has never been damaged in countless bangs.
"Sure enough, there are a lot of strange things in this world. ”
Hawkins sighed inwardly, put the black knife into its scabbard, hung it on his waist, and did not continue to study.
Although everyone has curiosity, Hawkins is not a scientific research maniac, and if he can't understand the truth, let it go for the time being, and time will naturally give the answer.
Once all the supplies had been loaded onto the Black Knife, Hawkins manipulated the sailors to disconnect the iron cables connecting the two ships and sail away on the Black Knife.
Jon, who had already changed into a dry outfit, leaned over to Hawkins and asked, "Captain, where are we going next?"
"Little Weil Island. ”
Hawkins glanced at Jon and replied.
He turned back to the captain's quarters, and now that he had plenty of food, he needed to give the body a makeover.
This body is too weak, and humans have many limitations in their own right, and while he won't be able to transform his body into a non-human monster, at least some basic abilities are still necessary.
First of all, the body must be stronger.
Although Hawkins has always disliked this body as too weak, in fact, 'Hawkins' body is already relatively strong in this world, otherwise he would not be able to subdue the pirates under his command.
But that's not enough for Hawkins, he needs to be stronger.
The food transferred from the Glory was not dry food such as jerky, but a food similar to bran cake, which was rough, dry and hard, and difficult to swallow.
Hawkins ate more than a dozen of them, and then he felt his abdomen full, and when he controlled his stomach to digest quickly, he quickly felt the urge to defecate.
"Sure enough, the nobles didn't treat the seamen as human beings at all. ”
He squatted on the toilet bucket, excreting impurities and sighing to himself.
More than a dozen chaff cakes were in his stomach, and the nutrition was not as good as the three pieces of jerky he had eaten before, no wonder those sailors fought alone, and none of them were pirates' opponents.
The nutrient gap alone is too great.
Coming out of the toilet, Hawkins gave up on eating the chaff, and although the thing was hungry, what he needed now was protein, calories.
Eventually, he used the rope he had obtained from the Glory to weave a fishing net himself.
Although the original Hawkins' grandfather was a fisherman, he himself did not know how to fish, but the current Hawkins is no stranger to fishing.
Part of his consciousness was once a skilled fisherman who died in a storm, and his consciousness finally converged in his consciousness through the quantum realm, and he naturally mastered the mastery of fishing.
Half an hour later, he and five sailors pulled up the fishing nets together, and the catch was more than 700 catties, and he directly held a barbecue banquet on the boat, although the real living people were only him and Jon.
At first, Jon was quite happy, after all, he was really hungry during this time.
Before, the Glory was in hot pursuit, the big battles were continuous, and the food shortage, before being defeated by the Glory, several pirate brothers couldn't stand the desperate atmosphere and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
Now that he can eat a bite of meat, Jon is full of emotion, sure enough, as long as he works hard to live, he can always encounter good things.
But as time passed, he gradually felt that something was wrong, the captain had already eaten the fifth fish, the fish in the Puras Sea were big and heavy, a fish weighed more than thirty catties, although the pirates were generally big stomachs, but they could not eat five fish.
The point is that Hawkins's abdomen does not rise and fall at all, but the whole person seems to be changing.
Jon was terrified, in fact, he had sensed that something was wrong with Hawkins, not like the captains of the past.
At this time, countless situations were connected, and a guess suddenly appeared in his mind: "Captain, could it be possessed by an evil spirit?"
Probably because they have done a lot of bad things, pirates tend to believe all kinds of strange rumors.
Although Jon had heard of the cursed relic in the past, he had never seen it before, after all, nobles generally didn't need to do it themselves, and the guards were enough to solve most problems.
If it weren't for seeing Joodas use the cursed relic, he would have told it all as a story.
But since cursed relics are real, do evil spirits and sea monsters also really exist?
And now he is horrified to find that Captain Hawkins may indeed be possessed by evil spirits!
Hawkins' eyes turned from azure blue to gold, and the shape of his pupils gradually changed to the shape of a six-pointed star, and he suddenly vomited several cavities as he ate, and the scars on his face gradually disappeared.
He has grown from 1.75 meters to 1.89 meters for the second time, and the shape of his ears has changed slightly, making him more suitable for listening.
Although these changes were not particularly noticeable, and they changed slowly over the course of a few hours, they were still very terrifying in Jon's eyes, and the fear in his heart continued to deepen.
When Hawkins went to the bathroom, he decisively put down the lifeboat and decided to escape to the Glory, away from his captain.
Although a short time had passed, the Glory was not piloted, so it was not far away, and he had eaten a lot of food, and at this time he was full of energy, and it was not difficult to row over.
"Is it still too obvious?"
Hawkins came out of the toilet and found Jon missing, and then he saw Jon on the lifeboat in the distance, and guessed Jon's thoughts.
However, Jon knows the original Hawkins well, and it is really not good to continue to stay.
Hawkins doesn't care about Jon running away, although with Jon on the boat, many things will be easy, but if the other party wants to leave, he will not stop it, after all, he is not a cruel person.
After eating heavily, his left hand is already slowly growing, and it will probably take a few days for it to fully grow.
The next step is a deep transformation, and on top of being strong, he also needs the electric eel's ability to generate electricity, the ability to breathe underwater, and the ability to heal wounds quickly.
This needs to be modified at the genetic level, and there is no room for error.
The first step towards civilization is to master fire, and the second step is to master electricity.
Whether it is a direct electric shock, an electromagnetic weapon, a Gaussian weapon, a plasma weapon, or even the creation of electromagnetic radiation, it has a huge attack power.
In this world, there are many things that Hawkins doesn't understand, so he will still be well prepared for some necessary means of self-defense, and he can't expect every enemy to be controlled by his consciousness virus.
Moreover, those who possess cursed relics may not be able to control the consciousness virus, and that sailor is the best example.
Hawkins spent the next two days eating.
His weight had increased from 90 kilograms to 180 kilograms, his whole body was muscular, and many organs had been added to his body that were not found in humans.
His left hand had regrown, but it hadn't quite fitted his body, and it was like a smaller arm had been transplanted into his hand, and it would take time to adjust.
Paper man?
Suddenly, through Jon's consciousness, he saw a large number of paper figures flying from the sky.
He didn't control Jon, he just put a consciousness virus in Jon's consciousness in advance, and Jon saw a large number of paper figures flying on the Glory.
Jon tried to escape, but in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by a large number of paper figures, as if falling into the eye of a white tornado.
"Where is the Pirate's Son?"
One of the paper figures approached Jon, and Joyce's voice suddenly came out of the paper.
Jon was horrified, "My lord, Captain... No... The son of a pirate, he is aboard the Black Knife. ”
"Where's the Black Knife?" Joyce continued.
Jon trembled and replied, "I don't know, he was possessed by an evil spirit, I was afraid that he would kill me, so I ran away, I really don't know where he went." ”
"Then you're useless!" Joyce said coldly.
Jon wanted to open his mouth and beg for mercy, but the paper man directly slit his throat with his 'body', and he clutched his throat and made a few 'whoo' sounds, and then he fell weakly, his eyes quickly losing their luster.
