Of course, rum is indispensable, and people who make a living at sea are very prone to rheumatism, arthritis and other diseases, so they need to use spirits to dispel cold and dampness, as well as sterilize and disinfect.

Qin Fen also tasted two bites, only to feel that the taste was light, with a faint coconut flavor.

The big fat cook got Qin Fen's 'kickback', and his fat face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum with a smile, this guy also has a good conscience, and he must have made a bowl of delicious soup before Qin Fen...... In fact, it is a sticky paste that is boiled, it looks a little dirty and dark, but it shows a variety of colors when stirred, and it tastes sweeter, it is corn flour, tapioca flour, soybean flour, vegetables and red pestles, and it is a paste made by burning it with fire after stirring with water.

After Qin Fen confirmed that there were human flesh, nails, hair, insects and other things in this bowl of soup, he began to eat it, and Xili snorted and drank all the bowls.

Taking advantage of this favorability at the dinner table, Qin Fen also began to inquire about some things, but he didn't know if these natives were pretending to be confused or tight-lipped, and he never got any useful news.

At this moment, Qin Fen suddenly felt a strong vibration from the bottom of the ship, and then the speed of the entire ship slowed down all of a sudden.

Immediately after the iron door of the captain's room opened, Briley Leeley, who was in his forties and had a sturdy physique. Captain Megan came over and asked in a loud voice:

"What just happened?"

Qin Fen leaned over and saw a sailor with a surprised face and said:

"Captain...... It looks like we've hit something. ”

The captain immediately said:

"Is it a reef? I don't remember the charts showing the hazardous environmental areas here. ”

The first mate of the Brairly, a strong man with a gray beard but still in good spirits, shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Boss, you remember right, I've run this route more than a dozen times, and I've never encountered such a thing as hitting the rock."

The captain nodded: "Did someone go down to the cabin to check for leaks at the bottom of the ship?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sailor grabbed a knife in his hand, and jumped unusually quickly from the side of the ship into the sea, and the posture of falling into the water was even more standard than that of a fish.

By this time, the speed of the ship had slowed down further, and more and more people were pouring onto the deck. The captain endured his anxiety and paced up and down the deck, and the others naturally did not dare to touch the captain's brow, but whispering was inevitable.

After about two minutes, the swarthy sailor climbed up from the bilge with great agility with a splash, and shouted:

"Captain, there is no reef underneath, it's as clean as a woman without clothes."

The captain thought for a moment and waved his big hand: "Light the torch!" ”

The torches of the people who run the sea are soaked in fish fat, there is no smoke when they burn, and they burn for a long time, and the fire is very bright, the only drawback is that the smoke that comes out is a little fishy......

The captain spoke, and the sailors below naturally began to act immediately, and in an instant, more than a dozen torches were lit, illuminating the three ships as bright as day. Someone took a torch and shone it under the bow of the ship, and suddenly noticed that there was something strange on the sea ahead, which should have been calm, and the sea water was surging rapidly, as if there were seven or eight pairs of invisible hands under the sea surface stirring vigorously, and the force was in different directions.

"What's going on?"

The captain turned his head to look at the first mate, who immediately took a shotgun out of his crotch, took aim, and then pulled the trigger, and a burst of fire exploded, and the scorching bullet penetrated deep into the depths of the sea in an instant. And then there was no blood pouring out. But soon, there were many staggered and vertical black irregular lines on the sea, slowly winding around the hull, and it was not clear what it was, and then the sea was also turbulent, and a large number of white bubbles appeared.

Although the water here is not turbid, it is still impossible to see the specific situation below due to the reflection of the sea surface at night. To be more precise, it is as if the sea water is boiling and something is about to break through the water and swallow it.

Seeing this scene, the captain took a risk on his forehead, but he still snorted coldly and said loudly:

"Let's get a few people to stand next to the side of the boat and light more torches!"

At sea, the prestige of fax is unparalleled, and it even has the power to kill and kill, and at this moment, almost everyone must devote themselves to obeying the order. More torches were lit and the surroundings were as bright as day.

To be honest, the safest thing to do at this time is actually to go back directly and take a detour, but for Brilly Meghan, who sells seasonal fresh fruits, it didn't take more than a day to delay, and more fruits rotted because of squeezing, and the rotten fruits naturally couldn't be sold. So unless there is no way out, Brairy will definitely not choose to retreat.

So the guy's eyes swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice:

"Who's going into the water to find out? I'll reward him with 100,000 Baileys! ”

“……”

It's a vulgar method, but it's extremely useful.

Under the temptation of 100,000 Bailey, the eyes of the sailors who were still cowering suddenly lit up, and immediately two sailors walked out and said loudly:

"My subordinates are willing to go!"

The captain nodded: "You all know my reputation, if you say 100,000 Bailey, you will definitely not lose half a point." As he spoke, he ordered two pockets of coins in front of a boatload of people.

The two sailors who won the bounty didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and jumped into the sea with a "poof".

As soon as the so-called connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was one, Qin Fen just looked at the action of these two people entering the water and knew that the other party definitely didn't say anything, it was indeed an old sea seal, and he was as flexible and comfortable in the water as if he was on land.

The two sailors spun around, and then a stuffy man plunged deep into it, leaving the crowd waiting silently. Time passed minute by minute, and just when everyone couldn't help but be a little anxious, the sea suddenly 'banged', and a sailor poked out his face. What is shocking is that half of this guy's face has been stained red with blood!

"Quick, quick! Pull him up! The captain shouted.

Immediately, two cables were dropped, and the sailor on board quickly dragged the sailor up.

"What did you find? What about the Hill people? The captain asked anxiously.

"Ship, Captain!" The sailor gasped and shivered and said in a frightened tone, "Hil, he's been eaten!" ”

"What? Eaten?! The onlookers were in an uproar.

The sailor raised his right hand tremblingly, and the crowd realized that he was holding a black rope-like thing in his hand. But if you look closely, you can tell what kind of black thick cord is this? It's some unknown plant of the sea! It looks like the damp soaked hair of a dead man, and it looks like freshly harvested kelp that has not been dried, exuding a very disgusting smell that makes people want to vomit.
