Chapter 253 Sea Monster

Sea Tiger Island is the foothold of the pirates discovered by the previous pirate leader, of course, it is not that there are no other ships passing here, but they only have one fate, that is, they sleep in the sea here.

Only a very small number of pirates have an unknown island as a lair, and most of the pirates live at sea with the pirate ship, until one day, enough looting goods, the pirate group will decide to change their appearance and find a distant island to enjoy life.

Therefore, most pirates are very bitter in the first half of their lives, and there are not many who can survive to the second half of their lives.

Because of the existence of Sea Tiger Island, the previous big leader, Huo Haihu, has a status in this pirate group like a faith, and even after death, his prestige is enough to suppress other restless pirates.

At this time, there was actually a ship passing by Sea Tiger Island, which instantly aroused the vigilance of all the pirates, if the coordinates of this island were advertised, it would attract more people, then they would not be safe here, and they would become homeless wandering pirates again.

"Count them lucky, big sister, let's kill them!" one of the pirates shouted.

Huo Ying nodded, "Okay, the brothers will sail with me to fight!"

With Huo Ying's order, the other pirates roared, the sails were raised, the helm was at the helm, and the pirate ship slowly started.

Of course, their ship was not anchored in the open, but in a hidden cavern, which was very large and connected to the sea, and even pirate ships could enter it.

Hiding inside this cave, you can observe the enemy situation outside, and it will not be detected, which is the favorite place for pirates to stay and gives them the most sense of security.

Naturally, there is not only one pirate ship, after Huo Ying's largest pirate ship came out of the cave, two more ships came out one after another, these two are much smaller, but they are more flexible and fast.

Having robbed merchant ships at sea all year round, even if it is very far away and cannot be seen clearly, it is still very clear that the Bloody Bones is only a small sailing ship.

The three ships, and even the flagship, have already paid enough attention to the ships coming to Haihu Island.

Speaking of Chu Jing's side, everyone was very excited to see that there really was an island, especially Chu Jing, at least after having the coordinates, the Blood Bone was no longer wandering at will on the sea, and it could have a clear route.

"Quick, let's get over quickly. Xu Qian said to Chu Jing.

The Blood Bones was autonomous, and Chu Jing couldn't speed it up.

At this time, Lian finally came out of the room, came to the deck, and looked at the island in the distance, "You guys are too noisy, have you finally arrived? What kind of island is this?"

"I don't know, let's ask someone after landing on the island, I don't know if there is a sea map for sale, we need a big nautical chart." ”

"There are probably private maps, but there are no official maps, and if there is, you can't get them. When you get to the port, spend some extra coins and buy a replica from the old captain. ”

"Well, that's fine. ”

The Blood Skeleton can identify its own location, and Chu Jing only needs to tell it the general route, but it doesn't need to be too detailed.

Suddenly, Xu Qian exclaimed again, "Look, there's a ship coming towards us there, should we stop and avoid it first?"

Suddenly discovering an island, Chu Jing really forgot that he was on a hideous-looking pirate ship, and if he came into contact with the ships on the island, it would definitely have a big impact, and it might even attract the navy.

"Well, we're going around to the other side of the island, and at this distance, they can't make out the sign on our ship, so it shouldn't be too noticeable. ”

Chu Jing's words were not only for Xu Qian, but also for the Blood Bone.

The Bloody Bones changed direction and headed sideways.

"Huh, did the sail move on its own?" Xu Qian felt the movement of the sail sharply.

"Well, after all, this is a very smart ship, and we have saved a lot of sailors' expenses. ”

"Hmph, ghost ship, I don't know where you got this ship, if you don't get used to it, you will definitely not be able to sleep at night. Xu Qian looked at Bai Lan, "Isn't it?"

Bai Lan was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook her head, "No, no, the bloody bones on the bow of the ship are a little scary, but in fact, the inside of the cabin is quite good." ”

It's not just good, it's just luxury, Chu Jing transferred all the things he usually camps to the cabin, all kinds of gold silk soft quilts, goose down pillows, jewelry and jade decorations, everything.

In terms of its luxury, Chu Jing, as the ruler of the twelve cities, is definitely not low.

Sleeping in such a cabin makes you forget that you are on a terrifying self-navigating ship.

"Alas, if you take out the things on the ship and sell them, you should be able to sell them for a lot of money, and there is no comparison at all with what the adventurers are working so hard for. ”

Xu Qian felt a little unbalanced, but fortunately, she picked up a lot of thunder stones on Thunder Island, and Lian was going to sell some of them, and she could also get a lot.

Even if the money she gets can't buy a few fine gems, she'll be content with enough money.

Envy is one thing, but Xu Qian is definitely not greedy.

On the other side, the sea pirate ship had just come out of the hidden cave when it saw the sailboat in the distance turn around.

"Did they recognize us as pirates?" Huo Ying was very puzzled, usually after discovering a new island, he would basically send a crew member to the island to observe it.

It's hard to assess how much an uninhabited island is worth, but for some island nations, a new colonial island can be a huge expansion of power.

In fact, not the majority of the overseas islands have rulers, mainly because the trade is too frequent, and the merchants play a leading role in these trades.

Merchants are not enthusiastic about politics, and they want to have a free environment that can make trade easier and make more money.

In the case of deep-rooted regimes, such as the islanders, in order to prevent the islanders from being enlightened by the free environment of the outside world, they adopted a policy of seclusion and seclusion, and there was almost no communication between the internal and overseas islands, and they could only buy things from other islands through the royal castle.

Therefore, discovering an unexplored island can not only exploit the island's resources first, but also sell the island's location to a powerful ruler in exchange for a large reward.

Like Huo Haihu, who occupies the island by himself, there is actually some waste, who made him a notorious pirate, even if he wants to invite credit, it is difficult to get out of the whole body, after all, there are too many merchant ships that have been offended before, and there are guilds and the like among merchants as hubs, so it is not too easy to retaliate afterwards.

"Big Sister Head ......"

"Catch up, you must not let them run away!"

Huo Ying is determined, this island is the most important thing left by her father, and she must not let it have any mistakes.

In order for the secrets of Sea Tiger Island not to be leaked, the ship must be kept in and out.

Chu Jing didn't know what she thought, if he had known that this was a pirate island, the lair of a large group of pirates, he wouldn't have come here for anything.

Just escaped from Thunder Island and came to Pirate Island, isn't this just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's lair.

"Those ships seem to be coming towards us, can they be able to see the pirate flags or blood bones on our ships?"

"It's impossible to see it from such a distance, and they probably thought it was strange that we didn't go directly into the harbor, so they sent someone to check if we were smuggling boats. ”

Xu Qian didn't think so, she also heard Lian mention the smuggling boat, you need to pay customs duties to trade in the harbor, and on islands like Luolie Island, many items are contraband, and it is a felony to be caught smuggling.

Chu Jing looked over and could vaguely see that there were three ships on the opposite side, one big ship and two smaller ships, which were indeed no less than ordinary merchant ships.

"Maybe it's really the navy patrolling the island, it doesn't matter, our ships are not slower than them, and after chasing them for a certain distance, they will naturally return. ”

However, the truth was not as simple as Chu Jing imagined, those three ships were hanging at a great distance, and the speed was about as fast as the Blood Bone, which was not the speed of ordinary ships.

However, it would be strange if the ships of the navy were as slow as the merchant ships.

Chu Jing even thought that the three ships were patrolling the island's navy, so he wanted to avoid them.

"Why don't you let off a shot to deter it? That's how the navy of the island was scared away. ”

Xu Qian made a good suggestion.

"Yes. ”

This proposal was supported by everyone, although at such a distance that they could not even see the sails clearly, they would certainly not be able to hit, and it was difficult to say whether they could see the waves splashed by the shells into the water and retreat.

Since it was Xu Qian's proposal, she naturally set off this cannon.

A window close to the direction of the three ships was chosen, and a cannon began to adjust its direction, and the maximum distance of the cannon was only a few hundred meters, and the farthest distance was not more than a thousand, because it was a solid iron ball, it was impossible to fly out far.

The fuse was soon ignited, and the sound of "Zizi" sounded in everyone's ears, and they hurriedly covered their ears.

The noise of the cannon is not very loud, but it is still somewhat deafening.

The cannonball was fired, and because the barrel was lifted to the highest point, this time the cannonball was fired at a very long distance, and the force of the fall from the height was also very strong, and the splash was five or six meters high.

"Well, it's not bad, do you think they can see it? Will they just retreat?" Xu Qian was very satisfied with the effect of the cannonball.

Lian shook her head, "Probably not, if the cannonball hits the ship, it may break through the ship and cause the water to leak and sink, but in the sea, they may just be a big fish or a sea monster, even if they really know that it is a powerful weapon, they will not be afraid before it really hits." ”

Lian is right, the cannon is still a new thing in this world, I have never seen it, I don't know its terrifying power, naturally I don't think that the ship equipped with the cannon is very powerful, and it is impossible to scare them away with a cannonball.

"What then?"

"Keep going, it's a big deal if we stay away from this island, these people won't chase us for a day and a night. ”

Although landing on the island later tickled Xu Qian's heart, she had no choice in the face of this situation. Who makes these navies so annoying.

On the pirate ship, all the pirates also saw the scene of the water splashing, but it was too far away, and it looked like a small splash in the calm sea, which could not attract too much attention.

Huo Ying's handsome face showed a solemn expression, and the other pirates didn't pay attention, but she was the leader of the pirate group, and the slightest sign had to be carefully observed.

Her father robbed a ship with several sword saints because of a mistake, not only did his subordinates suffer heavy losses, but he didn't have his life to come back alive, fortunately, his subordinates were very loyal to him, and his daughter was not only unharmed, but also successfully became the second generation leader, which is a very rare thing among pirates.

Huo Ying didn't want to make the same mistake as her father, every time she plundered a merchant ship, she would first send someone to the land to inquire about the information, find out the departure time of the merchant ship, the situation of the goods transported, whether there were any masters on board, and only after everything was complete, she began to block the merchant ship on the road and plunder.

Originally, this time, the sailboat was unknown, and if she could, she didn't want to offend the masters who might exist on the ship.

However, the other party broke into here by mistake and discovered Sea Tiger Island, which is something more important than life for the pirates, and it must not be leaked out.

All the people on this ship must die.

It's just that from a distance, it's just a small splash, but compared to the boat, it seems that the boat is only the size of a splash, what the hell is going on?

Could there be a sea monster chasing the ship behind?

But it's not right, if the ship is really in danger, it should immediately land on the island and ask for help, why did it suddenly turn around?

I can't think clearly, Huo Ying deserves to make the other pirates cheer up, be careful in everything, and definitely not turn the tables on their own turf.

The Bloody Bones began to sail towards the Sea Tiger Island, and since the navy on the island was chasing them, this was the only way to get rid of them.

Neither side could see the signs on the sails of the other's ships, and neither knew that the other was a pirate ship, and the two ships began to swim aimlessly in the sea.

It is getting farther and farther away from Sea Tiger Island, and the sea in front of it is an unknown sea area, and it is a very, very dangerous thing to stagger the course.

"It's so far away, why are they still chasing, don't they have to defend the port?"

Xu Qian complained loudly.

Bai Lan practiced her sword on the side, anyway, it was getting farther and farther away from the time to land on the island, even if she rushed back again, it would take more than half a day, and she was bored.

"Chu Jing, how do you see my swordsmanship?" Bai Lan asked, naturally she couldn't really call Chu Jing a master.

Chu Jing watched carefully from the side for a while, and nodded, "There is already a bit of charm, your talent is really outstanding, it will take at least a few months for ordinary people to practice to such a point." ”

Chu Jing didn't exaggerate, maybe Bai Lan himself had the strength of a sword master, so he learned Chu Jing's swordsmanship very quickly, and in just two days, he was able to wield it well.

However, in order to show off in actual combat, in addition to talent, combat reaction is also a very important part.

Chu Jing couldn't give Bai Lan more guidance, he didn't even have anyone to guide him at all, he could only make a move and let Bai Lan draw the gourd in the same way.

Bai Lan's progress is obvious to all.

Suddenly, the Bloody Bones shook.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Qian was lying on the bow of the boat bored, and this shaking almost threw her into the sea.

This made her very angry, could it be that there was also a cannon on the other side, could it be hit?

Xu Qian didn't know that Chu Jing's cannon was unique in the world, at least Chu Jing had never seen a similar weapon in the overseas islands of the Divine Continent.

Chu Jing definitely didn't know about this question, but the Blood Bone knew it, and it quietly told Chu Jing.

Chu Jing's face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that we are in more trouble." ”

"What's the trouble, it's more difficult to deal with than the three ships behind? They have been with us for a few hours, even if smuggling is a big crime, they can't be like this!"

"It's a sea monster!"

Chu Jing didn't say that it was a demon beast in the sea, anyway, the one in the sea and the one on land were completely different, whether it was a demon beast or a monster, or something else, the word sea monster was enough to describe it.

"What, under our boat?" Hayashi also became frightened, the more she knew about the sea monsters, the more she knew how terrible they were.

Lian muttered: "According to the book, in the sea area outside the shipping route, there are often huge sea monsters appearing, they are very huge, very dangerous, we shouldn't come here, how can this be good?"

"What monsters in the sea? We're adventurers, we have to kill any monster, don't worry about it, and we have cannons. ”

Xu Qian knows very little about sea monsters, and even Lu Weng's logbook does not have a record of sea monsters, he has been driving along the route, and this logbook only records a small part of his deeds, and it is very normal to have no sea monsters.

Bai Lan looked at the three of them curiously, her knowledge of sea monsters only came from her mother's bedtime stories when she was a child.

"Here we go again!"

Before Chu Jing's words fell, the hull of the ship shook violently again.

"It looks like we've entered the territory of the sea monster, it's targeting this ship, we're on the surface again, it's underwater, we can't deal with it!"

Chu Jing became anxious, two of the newly summoned junior brothers were captured by the Sea Clan, one was in the Sea Clan's 'Mermaid's Tears', and there was no one around him who could fight.

Chu Jing once dived to the bottom of the lake to confront the hydra, but at that time, he used the five-star Wen Zhongka, which was protected by the magic water escape, if he went down to the sea now, even if he exposed his strength, I don't know if he could fight this sea monster of unknown size and unknown strength.

"Quick, let's run to the island from before, and those three boats, they can help us attract firepower. ”

Lian forced herself to calm down and said, at this life-and-death moment, she didn't care if the people on the three ships would die in the sea because of the sea monsters they attracted.

Chu Jing quickly gave an order to the Blood Bones and turned around directly.

Because of its own consciousness, the Bloody Bones steered in a small area, much faster than the other ships, and immediately made a big turn.
