Chapter 460: Shenwei (2-in-1)
In the vast sea, the Interceptor rode the wind and waves and moved forward quickly.
The sailors went their jobs and ran around in an orderly manner.
"Didn't you tell me there was a captain on this ship?" The fat man who helped recruit the crew came to Jack's side, bowed to Xu Jing, who was standing at the front of the deck, and asked in a low voice, "What is his origin?" ”
Jack controlled the steering wheel, and from time to time determined the direction through the compass held by Will next to him, and said helplessly: "I advise you to ask less." ”
"Damn it." The fat man's face showed dissatisfaction, "I shouldn't have promised you if I knew this." ”
"But it's too late to regret now, right?"
Jack suddenly laughed, he and the fat man are also old friends, the other party can be regarded as his most trustworthy person, and at this moment he knows that the other party is just complaining a few words.
The fat man originally continued to ask, but when he saw Xu Jing coming over, he had to shut up and prepare to go back to his post.
But just then, he was stopped.
"Mr. Gibbs, huh?"
Xu Jing looked at the fat man in front of him, but all the information about the other party appeared in his mind.
Gibbs is a friend of Jack's father, Teague, a generation older than Jack, a heavy drinker, who used to be in the British Navy, but the pirates who did what he liked made him a reciprocal, and eventually he left the Navy due to his lack of discipline in drinking and joined the pirate camp.
The pirates are basically grass on the wall, after the previous dismount, and now this group of pirates found by Gibbs basically no longer obeys his orders, and even complains about him and Jack in turn, thinking that they are pulling everyone into the fire pit, so now on the ship, they feel the most embarrassed.
Facing Xu Jing's gaze, Gibbs only felt uncomfortable, but he still smiled reluctantly: "Captain, what are your instructions?" ”
Xu Jing slowed down and said, "Nothing else, I want to ask you if you are interested in being my first mate?" ”
Gibbs glanced at Jack and said, "I think Jack is a better fit." ”
"It's fine."
Xu Jing believed that Gibbs could understand what he had just said, and perhaps the other party had other concerns, but this had obviously rejected the offer, but he was not annoyed, and announced in public that Jack would be the first mate, and he also made Anna Maria the boatswain.
Maria is the only female pirate on the ship, she originally had a dinghy, but it was stolen by Jack, who slapped Jack twice in a row when she got on board.
Originally, Jack promised to pay her for the ship, but when she got on the boat, she realized that the ship was not Jack's at all, and she was even more annoyed with Jack.
In this era, for other captains, it was considered bad luck and disaster to bring a woman on board, let alone a heavy responsibility, so Xu Jing's appointment of Maria undoubtedly caused a commotion among the sailors.
However, he didn't care about it, since Gibbs was unwilling to help him, it was definitely a loss for the other party, so he planned to train Maria well.
This woman still has a lot of potential, and since she got on the boat, no matter what she does, she is very serious and does it very well.
And Maria was also stunned when she heard the appointment, she didn't expect it to be reused at all, but then she was happy, and her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Xu Jing.
"I saved her life."
Xu Jing nodded slightly at Maria, if there was no change, the other party would die in the prison of the East India Company soon after helping Jack to steal the sketch of the key to the chest of the dead.
Jack was still very sorry for his life, and after he was sure that Maria was dead, he had to go out and sneak into the prison to find the drawing.
Gibbs opened his mouth, as if trying to persuade him, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Xu Jing then returned to the room, ignoring the crew's comments, believing that Maria was capable of managing the sailors.
His attention had now shifted to the main body, where traces of the Black Pearl had been discovered.
After having a new plan, the plan of the body to deal directly with the Black Pearl was not suitable, Xu Jing left a mark on the Black Pearl, and then overtook the past and searched for it in the direction it was traveling.
Another two hours passed, and when night came, a deserted island shrouded in mist and surrounded by a large number of reefs suddenly appeared in the range of his soul scan.
"Found it, Dead Island!"
Xu Jing's Norwegian sea monster's body quickly approached the past, ready to go and find out first, he was still very interested in the curse of the Aztec gold coin.
But at this moment, on the side of the Interceptor, there was a sharp knock on the door of his room, and an anxious voice from outside came from Maria: "Captain! We're in big trouble! ”
"I'll be right there."
Xu Jing opened the door, and before Maria could speak, he knew what kind of trouble they were in.
It was pitch black outside, and a large number of dark clouds covered the sky oppressively, obscuring the stars and moon.
"We've got a big storm." Maria looked worried, "Also, First Officer Jack is looking for you. ”
"I see." Xu Jing looked at the sky and walked out of the door of the room.
Gibbs saw him first, ran over, frowned and glanced at Maria, who was following Xu Jing, before saying, "It's too late for us to quit now, I suggest that it's best to withdraw the sails and carry this storm, but Jack insists on continuing to sail." ”
Xu Jing understood the reason, after all, he was the captain, and when it came to this kind of thing, no one else could make their own decisions.
"Keep sailing!"
He quickly made a decision.
Naturally, Maria had no objection and quickly left to go back to her post.
Gibbs, on the other hand, looked helpless and said, "How do you all think that you can be so optimistic, Captain?" ”
"You'll find out soon."
Xu Jing climbed onto the bridge and walked towards Jack.
"You've come just in time." Jack controlled the steering wheel, and from time to time leaned over to look at the compass in Will's hand, and said, "You should give me the compass to use, it's too inconvenient, especially when the storm is coming, and it won't be stable." ”
"Give him the compass!"
Xu Jing gave an order to Will, and communicated with the main body, temporarily gave up the exploration of Death Island, and hurried towards here, with the speed of the Norwegian sea monster, I believe it will not take long to arrive.
With Jack Compass in his hand, he suddenly looked confident and high-spirited, and even joked: "It would be better if I had another bottle of rum." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang in the clouds, and then it exploded again and again, like a lit cannonball.
From time to time, dazzling electric lights illuminated the sky, and with the howling hurricane, the overwhelming raindrops fell.
The Interceptor shook violently with the wind and waves, the rain beat the deck and sails wildly, and the sailors pulled the sails and reeled the cables, and began to wrestle with the storm.
"Go help!"
Xu Jing gave a command to Will, and then went straight to the bow of the boat.
"It's crazy!" Gibbs was overturned by a huge wave that hit the boat, desperately grabbed the cable, and roared: "In this weather, with a broken compass, how can we find that little island that no one knows!" ”
"We'll find it!" After Will used the compass, he was naturally very confident, he grabbed the sail and fixed the cable, and suddenly noticed Xu Jing's movements, "What is the captain doing?" ”
Gibbs heard the words and looked over, only to see that Xu Jing actually ran to the most dangerous position at the bow of the ship and stood there steadily, not only them, but some other crew members and even Jack also discovered Xu Jing's abnormality.
Rumble!
At this time, a huge wave was set off more than ten meters in front of the Interceptor and slammed into the bow of the ship.
"Captain, be careful!"
"Get out of the way!"
Maria and Will let out a shout almost at the same time, but their voices drowned out directly in the raging storm.
"Crazy!"
At this time, Gibbs actually grabbed the cable and turned around and ran towards the bow of the ship, ready to save people.
But just when he ran out a few steps, he saw Xu Jing raise his right hand and slap it forward.
Airplanes~!
A tremor sounded in the air, and at the same time, a transparent black light visible to the naked eye rose from Xu Jing's palm, rapidly expanding, and blocked the bow of the ship like a wall.
Bang!
The waves crashed against the wall of light, but it didn't shake the wall of light.
"Oh my God!"
"What is this?"
"How is that possible!"
The sailors on the ship were stunned when they saw the supernatural for the first time, and then they saw the wall of light expanding, enveloping the entire Interceptor.
In the next moment, the inside and outside of the ship became like two worlds, the storm outside and the calm on board.
Gibbs paused, staring at the shroud of light that had enveloped the ship with horror, and finally figured something out.
"You and Jack already knew, didn't you?" He asked back to Will.
Will wiped the rain from his face and smiled bitterly, "We don't know if he still has this ability." ”
He glanced back as he spoke, and faintly saw a look of helplessness and disappointment on Jack's face as he drove the boat.
"Oh~!"
The crew reacted and let out earth-shattering cheers.
Xu Jing felt the blazing gaze behind him, and knew that this time he had truly subdued this group of crews, and the flames in his eyes were a little dim.
After all, it's just a doppelganger, and it's already the limit to be able to do this, and it's hard to hold on for too long.
But he wasn't worried, because his body was about to arrive.
Soon, under Xu Jing's gaze, a huge shadow on the bottom of the sea approached.
He waved his hands in strange movements, and the loud sound of incantations came out of his mouth and resounded in everyone's ears.
Buzz~!
The rain shook, the sea shook, and even the whole sky shook.
In the next moment, above the interceptor, two giant hands suddenly appeared, covering the sky and the earth, and penetrated into the black oppressive clouds.
Rumble!
The two giant hands suddenly stretched outward, and the entire sky seemed to be torn into two pieces.
"Oh!!"
Everyone on the ship let out a scream of surprise and looked up at the sky with a blank face.
As the two giant hands churned wildly in the torn dark clouds, the sky seemed to fall, and a large amount of rain gathered into lakes and rivers, falling from the sky and smashing into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds dissipated, the wind and rain stopped, the sea was calm, and the stars and moon in the sky became clearly visible.
Xu Jing slowly turned around and swept his gaze to the crew.
At this time, everyone looked at him with deep awe in their eyes, as if they had seen a god.
At the same time, wisps of more or less power of faith emanated from the vast majority of people and converged towards him.
"Keep sailing!"
With a wave of his hand, the light shrouded in the outside of the ship dissipated without a trace, and then he walked into the cabin under the gaze of everyone.
After he left, the crew finally broke out into an uproar and exclamation, and they were busy with all kinds of discussions.
Towards dawn in the middle of the night, Maria knocked on the door of the room again and respectfully reported, "Captain, we have found the Isle of Death." ”
Xu Jing walked out of the door and came to the deck.
The crew was lying on the side of the ship one by one, looking at the sea around them.
"A lot of shipwrecks."
"What a scary place."
"How many good sailors have been killed in this waterway."
Under the clear sea, man-eating sharks swim, which makes people feel chills in their hearts.
"The captain is here!"
At this time, someone found out that Xu Jing was coming and shouted, which immediately caused a commotion.
Everyone turned around and stood upright, looking at Xu Jing, waiting for orders.
"Jack, drive in!" Xu Jing turned his head and shouted to Jack on the bridge, "Can you do it?" ”
"No problem, leave it to me." Jack held the steering wheel in one hand and the compass in the other, silently reciting the safe passage in his heart, and then controlled the Interceptor to slowly approach the Dead Island according to the direction of the compass.
He is a smart man, after Xu Jing's dispersal of the storm, he has now completely recognized the facts, figured out some things, and put himself in a correct position.
It didn't take long for the Interceptor to approach Death Island among countless reefs and shipwrecks.
"Look, it's the Black Pearl!"
Gibbs let out a sudden exclamation and pointed to the entrance to a large cavern in front of him.
Everyone looked at each other, and immediately let out one exclamation after another, with a look of nervousness and excitement on their faces, and then looked at Xu Jing.
"Lights out! Anchor! ”
Xu Jing's spirit swept out, and then quickly made an order, obviously Barbossa and the others had already entered the cave with Elizabeth, and there were only two crew members left on the Black Pearl, and they had not yet been discovered.
"Yes, Captain!"
At his command, the crew sprang into action, the oil lamps hanging from the Interceptor went out, and the anchor was dropped.
"Leave two people to watch the boat." Xu Jing ordered again, "The others follow me on the boat, we will go and seize the Black Pearl first, and then we will deal with Barbossa, I will say it first, all the treasures obtained this time, everyone will share them equally!" ”
"Roar!"
The crew members were instantly excited, all of them were gearing up, ready to do a big job, after seeing Xu Jing's strength, everyone had absolute confidence at this moment, even if they heard the legend of Barbossa's immortality, no one was afraid.
Soon, the boats were put into the sea, and Xu Jing took the crew to board the boats and quietly paddled the water to approach the Black Pearl.
