Faced with this scene, the captain couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and said bitterly, "Yes...... Demon. ”

"The evil gods are eyeing us!"

……

In the middle of the night, Fang Yuhao was still asleep, but he was woken up from the bed.

The deck was brightly lit and seemed to be doing a religious ceremony. Truckloads of food were thrown off the steamer, as if they didn't want money. Everyone's face was very bad, a lot of food was lost, and it was still a question whether the next voyage would be enough.

"What happened?"

"Shhhh Duncan whispered.

The Grand Wizard was muttering something incessantly, and the crystal ball glowed with a faint blue light.

In this situation, the smartest thing to do is to ...... Don't ask anything.

The ocean began to boil strangely, and small bubbles emerged from the surface. The light is too dim to see. A creepy feeling arose in everyone's heart.

But this ritual did not have much effect, the waves grew stronger, the hull of the ship was violently turbulent, and everyone knelt down and prayed reverently. The more you know, the more you understand the awe of the ocean.

"Ishigami!"

"Ishigami!"

Everyone is praying. The gentle stone god has become their last spiritual harbor.

Wow!

A huge wave crashed into the hull of the ship, splashing onto the deck. The "Giant Ocean" let out a whine, and the degree of shaking became greater and greater!

In an atmosphere of despair, Fang Yuhao grabbed a mast, stabilized his body, and looked down from the deck, he added another [clairvoyance] talent to himself.

The huge eyeballs hidden at the bottom of the sea also made his hairs stand on end and his heart beat wildly!

But it was clear that the eyeball was not satisfied.

It's still staring at the ship, it wants it all!

All!

The hull of the ship is getting more and more turbulent, and such a deep waterline means that the boat will capsize if it enters the water.

The captain scratched his scalp in despair, he wanted to throw away some of the cargo, but not too much, otherwise the ship's center of gravity would shift upwards and the ship would easily capsize.

The Grand Wizard kept kowtowing, bang, bang, his forehead slammed into the deck, and blood came out.

"It's just a powerful creature......"

"It can't even move!" Fang Yuhao saw the essence of the eyeballs.

A large number of faith fragments from the main god space condensed into a spiritual coercion and shot violently.

"Get out!"

"Get out!!"

The big eyeballs were slapped on the head, and the whole pupil slowly dilated.

The squalls and waves seemed to be much smaller, and the steamer took the opportunity to escape control.

"Captain, the ship is moving, the ship is moving...... I can feel it! Let's go! Fang Yuhao yelled.

The desperate captain seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, grabbed Fang Yuhao's neckline, and widened his eyes: "What did you say?!" What did you say! ”

"Get out of the boat! Add coal to the boiler! ”

At the sound of an order, several sailors risked their lives and frantically added coal to the boiler. The pressure in the boiler exploded instantly, but even if it was possible to burst the furnace, it couldn't be controlled so much.

The captain's sweat was dripping on the deck, and he also knew that it was no good to be with this evil god, and it was important to escape as soon as possible.

At maximum horsepower, the steamer slowly drove out of the danger zone.

The wind and waves gradually became smaller, and finally after the confirmation of the great wizard, everyone cheered loudly "Stone God" and kissed the deck.

……

The rest of the time was so-so, and there was not much danger. Occasionally, there were a few heavy rains, which were completely within the tolerance of the steamer "Great Ocean".

It's just that when you encounter the evil god, you throw away a lot of food, and you can only implement the distribution method of a certain quota.

Fang Yuhao felt that during this period of time, the captain and the first mate were very nervous, really nervous. Sailors who do not have enough food and are on the verge of mental collapse can easily rise up and rebel and kill.

As a last resort, the captain can only keep increasing the remuneration to stabilize people's hearts, "Boys, it's coming soon!" Just a few more days! Hold on for a few more days. ”

This kind of spiritual victory method of quenching the thirst of the plum sounds simple, but it is really uncomfortable to practice. The feeling of hunger makes those who want to rebel lose their strength.

"It's really not easy...... In addition to doing his job, Fang Yuhao can only lie on the ground and sleep, or pray that Duncan can catch a fish......

A month later, they finally came to the first stop of the route, Qinlai Port.

When it was finally time to get to the supply point, everyone cheered, and the captain couldn't help but sweat and pay part of his wages.

After unloading the goods, everyone had 10 days to rest and play in Qinlai Port.

This wonderful island is rich in all kinds of mushrooms. Spices are a luxury everywhere, and for some reason, Fang Yuhao felt that these mushrooms could eat a wonderful chicken flavor. Everyone was eating in a big way to make up for the nutrients consumed on the ship.

"O young man, there is always a need for restraint, although the captain has a bloody ...... But if you don't save money when you're young, when will you save money? The old sailor Duncan sighed: "You can't spend all the money on a woman's belly?" I'll regret it when I'm old......"

He saw a group of young sailors entering the brothel several times a day and began to count them non-stop.

“…… It's going to be ****! ”

One of the lads was unimpressed, pointing to his inflated crotch. "Old fellow, you can't do it yourself, so let's say that!"

Everyone began to laugh and left in droves.

After three months of repression, people need to vent wildly, especially to the opposite sex.

After a while, Duncan was also a little moved, and turned his head to invite Fang Yuhao, "However, the woman of Qinlai Harbor ...... It may be the relationship between eating too many mushrooms, it's really soft, just like a big white snake, why don't you try it? Hot, it's not good for you to hold back like this, sooner or later you'll go crazy. ”

Fang Yuhao hurriedly refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Duncan, I already have a wife...... And I need a large sum of money to pay off my debts. If I don't make enough money, our whole family will be stripped of our souls! ”

"Why are you using this excuse again...... But that's right! We can't spend gold coins on women! Duncan thought of his family and immediately strengthened his will, "Let's go to the bar!" ”

The tavern by the harbor is always the liveliest place, where many sailors gather to chat. Stepping on solid ground, all fears in the ocean are slowly wiped out.

Fang Yuhao saw Mr. Captain hurriedly walking into the city hall.

After a while, Mr. Captain also participated in the reception.

The captain, who had always been calm, said with great enthusiasm: "Haha, the evil god is finished!" The 10,000-ton ship 'Royal Knights' has been dispatched, and they are carrying a large number of depth charges! ”

Whining!

As he spoke, the "Royal Knight" slowly started, and the scorching smell of burning coal could still be smelled from so far away.

Many sailors cheered in the harbor. This massive steel war machine was built to challenge this kind of abyssal sea beast.

……

The good times passed quickly, and Fang Yuhao wanted to witness the scene of the "Royal Knight" challenging the "Big Eyeballs", at least he wanted to see the relevant news...... That means that humanity challenges the mystery of the unknown, and it is a contest between wisdom and darkness.

However, after all, they couldn't wait for this news, and they had to start again.

The steamship Juyang carried some other cargo, including some dried mushrooms, as well as local specialties.

Transporting goods from one place to another to earn the difference in price is a very simple way to make money, but it is extremely effective.

Fang Yuhao noticed that among the goods he carried, there were more coffin-like things, which were heavy.

“…… Don't make a sound, and don't snoop, there's the living dead inside! Duncan, the old sailor, whispered, "It cost a lot of money." ”

"The Living Dead?!" Fang Yuhao was puzzled.

"It's the one that only has its last breath left. We're going to transport them to the sunny sea, that's where we humans finally go! Duncan was mysterious, making a gesture of looking up at the sky.

"You know, how much do they have to pay for this ticket?" Duncan held up a few fingers.

"8 gold coins?"

Duncan rolled his eyes: "No, first of all, you must get at least a knight's knighthood, and secondly, donate 80% of your assets, no less than 88 gold coins!" ”

"So much!"

"Is there anything strange?" Duncan wondered, "That's the sunny sea, our final destination...... What's the use of money if you're dead? ”

"Money can be left to future generations."

"Children and grandchildren?" Duncan's eyes widened: "They won't make money themselves?" Enough to leave them 20%! ”

With these fanatics, Fang Yuhao didn't have anything to say, just smiled and stepped on the steamer.

……

Time passes day by day, and life in the sea is calm and contains inexplicable apprehension, because it is never known when fear will come.

In the blink of an eye, 289 days have passed, and as time passes, Fang Yuhao has begun to gain more trust because of his good performance.

From today onwards, he has one more task: to be in charge of writing the logbook, which was supposed to be the job of the captain.

"Hot, I'm beginning to believe that you can become a truly great captain in the future." The captain instructed on the side: "You were born a navigator!" ”

"Sir, you're too awarded." Fang Yuhao smiled shyly and handed the filled out logbook to the captain. There are a large number of records in it, including the weather, sea conditions, ship conditions, the course of the gyroscope, the amount of correction, the course of the magnetic compass, magnetic difference, self-difference, and so on.

The captain looked at it several times and nodded, all the data was a little more detailed than he had written himself. All kinds of mathematical calculations are extremely rigorous.

"Hot, I'm not talking big...... Being a captain is too difficult, not only to have a huge amount of knowledge, but also to have excellent psychological qualities. You look at the sailors, they will be depressed, they will be lost, they can express their emotions, but the captain can't. ”

"The captain must be fearless, like a true iron man. Even if you make the wrong choice, you have to swallow it in your stomach. ”

"It's a pity that my sons can't do it at all. It's too hard for them to get a knighthood. ”

After saying this, the captain left with a depressed face.

Indeed, over time, more and more sailors developed symptoms of fear of the ocean.

For 289 days, there will always be some exceptions.

Five sailors had fallen ill and died, and the other three were lying in their beds, receiving very simple medical treatment, breathing a sigh of relief, not knowing if they would ever come back to life.

There are also seven or eight people who are in a state of mental abnormality on the verge of collapse because of fear of the ocean and long-term mental pressure.

However, these are normal. According to the words of the old sailor Duncan, every voyage, especially when traveling to sunny seas, at least 50% of the sailors will be eliminated!

"No one knows if you're going crazy tomorrow. Maybe yesterday was fine, today it's crazy. The usual way is to throw him into the sea and save him crazy. ”

"Fortunately, we're close to our next destination." Duncan took a sip of wine and rubbed his bloodshot eyes, "Hot, your mental quality is so good...... Alas, it seems that my first time was also so fearless. ”

Yes, the ignorant are fearless.

……

On the 482nd day, the steamer had already passed through 16 destinations.

During this period, I experienced a big storm and a huge water monster, but fortunately, all of them survived without danger.

Every time I pass through a destination, a part of the supplies will be sold, a large number of coffins will be brought in, and the entire warehouse will be full.

In the face of these coffins, every time Fang Yuhao cleans the warehouse, he always feels cold behind him.

In addition to enough coal to return home, the steel and local products were all sold.

In the captain's logbook, Fang Yuhao estimated the prices in various places, and the captain could earn at least 30,000 gold coins on this voyage!

Of course, not all of these coins were owned by the captain alone, many of them had shares, including the first mate, the second mate, the great witch doctor, and some of the nobles of Boulder City.

The risks associated with it are also enormous, and in almost five hundred days, a quarter of the sailors have already been replaced. Those who went crazy halfway were all thrown on the land and replaced with another batch.

Mr. Captain is quite kind, and he has not defaulted on anything. As for the sailors who died of illness, there would also be a pension for their families.

"It's been a successful trip, except for the weird evil god you encountered at the beginning. This is sailing, and even if it goes well, someone will still die. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the deck outside, and many people were shouting. Fang Yuhao walked out of the door and found a white sea bat perched on the mast. Many sailors were eager to capture the sea bat.

This is one of the few forms of entertainment.

Sea bats, highly intelligent creatures, if well trained, can help humans catch fish and find land.

It can also be sold at a high price in the market.

In particular, the white sea bat, a rare species...... Seven or eight gold coins is not a problem!

"Grab it!"

"Don't it off just yet. I'm going to make a net! The sailors kept thinking of ideas, giggling, and discussing how they should enjoy the windfall.

As a result, a few minutes later, the Grand Wizard ran over angrily and roared at the sailors: "Don't die! Get out of here, all of you get out of here! ”

Then he kept kowtowing to the white bat.

The Great Wizard is a very superstitious person, with a habitual weird smile on his face, he gets angry at the slightest trivial, and he always carries a human soul with him to tinker around. There is no system of witchcraft here, it is all inexplicable empiricism.

Even Fang Yuhao subconsciously stayed away from this guy. Almost all sailors were the same, a little afraid of him.

There are countless taboos in the sea, and if you do them all, you won't be able to go to the sea. To be honest, Fang Yuhao didn't see anything strange about the sea bat.

After a while, the white bat spread its wings and flew away. There was a bit of regret in everyone's hearts.

But then, something weird happened!

On the 483rd day, a sailor on duty went missing. Although the steamship "Juyang" was large, the space was still limited, but he disappeared alive and could not be found after several rounds......
