Chapter 34: The Psychedelic Mist
"In this way, this person's strength is not weak!" Murong Cheng nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and said with a wry smile: "But the more powerful people there are, the worse our situation will be, this time it is really unlucky, how can the contractors assigned here are all so strong, and let people not live." ”
Seeing this, Tong Lan comforted: "Sister Murong, don't worry, our strength is also very strong, if they want to deal with us at that time, we will make them look good." ”
"That's not what I'm worried about!" Murong Cheng shook her head with a wry smile when she heard this.
Without waiting for Tong Lan to ask, Xia He explained: "The stronger the contractor on our side, the stronger the contractor in the other camp will be. Now the contractors here should all belong to the camp of the British Navy, and the contractors of the pirate camp don't know where they are yet, and if the strength of our side weakens, it will be very bad. ”
"Oh, that's right!" Tong Lan nodded as if she understood a little, in fact, she didn't care much about this, after all, most of the time, she didn't have to think about it.
Seeing that she didn't understand very well, Xia He and Murong Cheng didn't explain any more, and after glancing at Bai Ling, who was silent, they looked at each other and shook their heads with a wry smile. Hopefully, the final step of this series of missions won't change, or they'll lose a lot.
After removing everything that could be removed from the pirate ship, the sailors set fire to the pirate ship and continued their journey in the direction of Port Royal.
In the next two days, the 'Xiongwei' encountered several pirate ships that came to rob, but they were all wiped out by the contractors and ** on board. However, they were not without danger, and once they were ambushed and besieged by four pirate ships, and all the contractors at that time had their help, and none of them were exempt.
Zhang Shuo played in that battle, although he didn't use all his strength, such as skills, he didn't use any of them, but he couldn't stand up to his weapon attack high, ordinary pirates couldn't withstand him with one knife at all, and the stronger ones were only two knives. What shocked the other contractors the most was that he suddenly jumped behind the pirate captain on a pirate ship, stabbed the pirate captain in the heart, and killed him instantly.
After that time, Zhang Shuo found that not only did the naval soldiers look at him with much more respect, but even the contractor looked at him with a much more solemn expression. This made him sigh, strength is a thing, sometimes you have to show some good, lest others don't take you seriously.
After two days of fighting to exterminate pirates, Zhang Shuo also obtained 1,800 soul points, two pitch-black treasure chests, and one bronze treasure chest after killing pirates. The two pitch-black treasure chests opened a total of 300 soul points for him, which made him depressed for a while, but the bronze treasure chest opened a good thing, which made him feel a lot better.
"Underwater Breathing Agent (Blue): After using this agent, a thin film will appear on the surface of the user's body for the next 60 minutes, blocking all seawater and allowing the user to swim freely in the water without worrying about breathing. Gain +20% movement speed in water, and eliminate debuffs when fighting in water. ”
Ever since he had the potion, Zhang Shuo no longer had to worry about how he would survive if the 'Majesty' was dispersed. An hour is not a short time, and even if you can't touch the passing ships by then, you can swim in one direction casually, and the probability of hitting a small island will not be small. Of course, it's best if the 'Mighty' is okay, and no one wants to be alone in the sea looking for a way to survive.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
That night, Zhang Shuo, who was sleeping in the room, heard the rapid sound of the gong, quickly got up, pinned the scimitar in the storage space to his waist, pushed the door open, and went up to the deck. Except for some of the Navy soldiers who were already on deck, the contractors and Navy soldiers in the cabin all hurried out. The sound of the gong will not be sounded except in case of emergency.
"It's psychedelic fog!" Looking at the white mist floating at a high speed in front of him, the captain of the 'Mighty' shouted loudly: "This is the psychedelic fog, all soldiers and sailors are on guard and enter the first-level state of battle!" ”
"Yes!" The navy soldiers answered, and they did not dare to slack off after hearing of the psychedelic fog, and rolled out the cannons, put the ammunition into the cannons, and placed the spears beside them, ready to fight at any time.
The contractors on the deck glanced at each other, they didn't understand what the psychedelic fog was, they didn't know what was going on.
Tong Lan asked in a low voice, "Sister Murong, is our mission coming?" ”
"I don't know, don't say anything about the mission!" With a soft admonition, Murong Cheng took a few steps forward and said to the captain, "Mr. Captain, can you tell me what the psychedelic fog is?" The captain is so vigilant, it seems to be very dangerous? ”
"Captain Murong!" The captain of the 'Xiongwei' put his right hand on his waist and bowed slightly, and said solemnly after saluting: "Captain Murong is afraid that he rarely acts at sea, otherwise he would not be unaware of the three dangerous 'psychedelic fogs' on the sea!" The psychedelic fog is one of the three major dangers on the sea, and the appearance of the psychedelic fog does not have any rules, and all ships that enter the psychedelic fog cannot grasp the direction, but can only drift with the tide and float on the sea. ”
"That's not the most dangerous thing, the most dangerous thing is that the psychedelic fog makes you lose sight of your direction, so you don't even know if there's a ship in front of you, and it's easy for two ships to crash together. What's even more terrifying is that if you happen to be sailing on a reef, the ship that can't control the direction will not end up with anything other than a shipwreck. ”
Hearing this, the hearts of the contractors sank, and Lin Xuan, one of the few people in the black pan, asked with a heavy face: "Captain, is there such a problem on the sea we are traveling on now?" ”
"Our luck isn't too bad!" The captain of the 'Mighty' said with a smile on his face: "There are no large objects such as reefs or islands near the ocean we are driving in now, as long as you are careful not to run into other ships, there should be no problem." After all, the psychedelic fog doesn't appear for too long every time, at most half an hour. ”
Looking at the ship that was still moving, Murong Ming asked puzzledly, "Captain, since this is the case, then why don't we stop the ship and let it stay where it is?" ”
"I'm sorry, but I forgot to say that!" The captain raised the hat on his head slightly with his right hand and explained: "Legend! Legend has it that anything more dangerous will happen to any ship that enters the psychedelic fog if it doesn't move! Although this is just a legend and no one can confirm it, the ships that sail on the sea all year round do not dare to do it, because it is too dangerous to do so! ”
"Didn't you say it's just a legend?" Humpty Dumpty, who was standing next to the Black Pan and the others, suddenly said, "Maybe the legend is just fake!" After all, if the ship was moving, it would be easy for it to get into trouble, and the legend would not necessarily be confirmed. I don't think it's better for us to stop the boat, lest we collide with other ships! ”
Glancing at Humpty Dumpty who was talking, the captain didn't say anything, just looked at Murong Cheng and Zhang Shuo, who were standing silently on the side, and said, "Two captains, maybe your soldiers' words are very reasonable, but what I want to say is that before encountering the psychedelic fog, it was also a legend!" At least it's a legend that I haven't experienced, and I hope you can understand that legends naturally have legends, and don't go the other way around! ”
Murong Cheng nodded, but looked at Zhang Shuo and said, "Captain Zhang, what do you say?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Shuo, who didn't know what to do, still chose to trust the captain of the sea expert, so he nodded and said: "Just do what the captain says, after all, he is an expert, and we are just laymen!" ”
"What Captain Zhang said makes sense, and I agree with listening to the captain!" Murong Cheng nodded after hearing this, looked at the captain and said, "Captain, everything is left to you, we don't know how to operate the ship at all, only when we fight, is the time for us to play." ”
"Thank you two captains for your support!" The captain of the 'Mighty' nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, he didn't care much about this team at the beginning, but the next few battles with pirates let him know that the strength of this team was not something that the naval soldiers on the ship could resist at all, so if he could, he didn't want to clash with these people. What's more, they were soldiers who belonged to the Governor.
Seeing that the captain didn't even ask for the opinions of himself and the others, Lin Xuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Captain, what are we going to do?" ”
"Don't do anything!" Captain Hei Pan shook his head lightly and said, "That Zhang Shuo is right, we are all laymen, and it is better to follow the words of professionals in this kind of matter." There is no need to fight for everything, the consequences of doing so will not benefit anyone. ”
"Got it!" Lin Xuan nodded and said no more.
Because of the danger that might be encountered, the captain's naval soldiers and contractors did not return to the cabin to rest, but looked solemnly at the thick white fog outside the ship from the deck, for fear that they would suddenly crash out of a ship. This white mist is strange, it only appears outside the ship, and it does not float to the ship at all, so everyone on the ship can see the situation on the ship.
Time passed, and in the worried looks of everyone, the 'Mighty' passed calmly for more than twenty minutes, without encountering any situation.
Seeing that the time of the psychedelic fog was approaching, the captain of the 'Mighty' said loudly: "Everyone hold on for a while, wait for a few more minutes, and after the psychedelic fog is released, it will be fine!" ”
(Most of you support it!) )
