Chapter 173: The Black Flag Is Still Flying (Medium)
The cannonballs that had just come out of the barrel retained the most primitive "taste" and bombarded the tentacles of the Norwegian sea monster, tearing its soft limbs like rocks on jelly. The scorching flames sprayed on its tentacles, and the soft flesh was burned seven or eight minutes old, mixed with the smell of fishy burning, and the people on the smoky deck were sick to their stomachs.
The thick, soft and long tentacles that were originally wrapped around the "Dreadnought" opened like blooming wild chrysanthemums under the impact of artillery fire, and then slapped on the surface of the sea, with a loud bang, smashing up high walls of water.
Standing on the coast of Cruise Island, Xin Tu faintly heard bursts of cheers coming from the deck of the Dreadnought. Obviously, the bombing of the terrifying Norwegian sea monster back into the sea is enough to be the talk of the pirate sailors for the rest of their lives - provided that they have a "second half of their lives", of course.
However, after the Norwegian sea monster was shot down by the artillery, there was no movement, and the waves on the sea surface gradually subsided.
Xin Tu's brows furrowed tightly, and he was anxious. If that big octopus is always haunted by the Dreadnought, then he can't get back to the Dreadnought at all! In other words, why did Xin Tu want to return to the "Intrepid" instead of staying on the shore and sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and then the fisherman profited? Because it's an absolute act of death!
The three legendary battleships "Dreadnought", "Victory" and "Dutchman" all have a group of enemies, and Norrington, the only ally who can be regarded as an ally, is not very reliable, and the only way to break the game is to return to the "Dreadnought" and wait for the opportunity to seize the heart of David 61 Jones. Even if he doesn't have a chance to get it, maybe Jack will bless him with his friendship for helping him reclaim the Soul Gathering Coffin and the Key - which is why Xintu gave Jack both the Key and the Soul Gathering Coffin. If he held on to the key, it would be of no use, and he would offend Captain Jack and be tantamount to death.
At that time, I only thought about this stubble, but there were also things that I didn't think about. After all, Xin Tu was full of thoughts about how to kill Will before. So much so that the current situation is a bit of a dilemma.
"Huh?" Just as Xin Tu was wringing his mind thinking about how to return to the "Intrepid" without being discovered by the big octopus, he found that a huge mound suddenly rose on the calm sea, moving slowly and quickly on the surface of the sea, dragging a "V" shaped wave behind it. You don't have to think about it to know what's beneath the mound.
Then the Norwegian sea monster actually dropped the "Dreadnought" and rushed towards the "Endeavour" instead!?
Xin Tu's eyes suddenly became hot. According to Seraf's lenses, the "Intrepid" and "Endeavour" are still 1 nautical mile apart, about 1,800 meters, and the Norwegian sea monster is huge, and it will take time to swim this distance no matter how fast it is. The "Dreadnought" is less than 700 meters away. If you have the ability of Xintu at this moment, it will be enough to return to the "Dreadnought" in 20 seconds!
It's just that...... Why did the Norwegian sea monster suddenly leave the Dreadnought? It can't be that the "Intrepid" scared it out of the bombardment just now, right? This is pure! But when Xin Tu saw that the Norwegian sea monster was already within 100 meters of the "Endeavor", Xin Tu gritted his teeth and threw himself directly into the water and swam with all his might.
Xin Xiao and Xin Shi naturally followed.
"No matter what kind of intrigues he has, he has to go back to the "Dreadnought" before and after, and the great opportunity is in front of him, where is the extra time for you to entangle this and doubt that!? That's what Xintu thinks.
At the same time, the "Dreadnought" also moved. If the big octopus changes its target, it may naturally stay still. However, instead of going for the big octopus, it went straight to the "Dutchman". At the same time, there was a strange whistling sound of "crackling", and a series of shiny parabolas flew out from the "Dreadnought", but it was the long-range mortars on the "Dreadnought" that roared.
On the other side, the "Dutchman" was not to be outdone, full sails, and the unique "runner three-shot gun" located in the bow of the ship also fired, and the shells that flew out at high speed rubbed against the air to produce light and heat, dragging out a tail like a meteor tail and bombarding the "Dreadnought". The strong momentum knocked out the dreadnought's hull into a hollow hole, and splinters of wood flew up.
Several unlucky pirates on the deck were hit by heavy bullets, and they didn't even have a chance to scream, and their entire bodies were torn apart by the powerful momentum, and in an instant, blood, internal organs, minced meat, and bone residue burst out like fireworks, drenching a large area of the deck. But except for the regular sailors who were shouting and screaming, the rest of the pirates were indifferent, and some pirates even licked the blood sticky from the corners of their mouths with a cruel smile, looking forward to waiting for a big fight!
The mortar shells of the "Dreadnought" are not very accurate, after all, the gunners are pirates, not regular professional navy. A single shell smashed through, and only two or three hits. Fortunately, the firepower of the "Dreadnought" was strong, and the deck of the "Dutchman" was also blown up by two or three shells. A spinnaker was also torn apart by a cannonball. However, the sails of the "Dutchman" seemed to contain some kind of magic, and the rift was healed quickly.
Xin Tu, who shook his eyes, suddenly became anxious and anxious. Because of the position given, the Dreadnought rushed towards the Dutchman and moved further and further away from Xintu. The speed of the "Intrepid" is not fast, but no matter how slow it is, it can't be slower than swimming alone, right? The distance is getting farther and farther, and it is impossible for Xin Tu to catch up with the "Intrepid" by swimming alone, okay?
"Damn, at this time!" Xin Tu gritted his teeth fiercely. Even though he is now full of strength and swims fast, if he releases his power into the water to gain propulsion, part of his own strength will be consumed by the flowing water, and sooner or later it will be consumed.
"If you're sprinting on flat ground right now, you'll be able to catch up!" As soon as this thought arose, Xin Tu remembered the miraculous scene of Captain Jack treading water, and the water seemed like a flat ground under his feet, allowing him to gallop and gallop. Then a thought came out uncontrollably: "Now that I've absorbed Will's 'phase', can I do it too?" As long as my sprint speed is fast enough, my feet are fast enough, and my center of gravity is properly controlled, with Will's 'body lĂŹ', maybe ...... No, it can be done! â
As soon as he thought of this, Xin Tu decisively turned around and rushed back, fortunately he didn't swim too far at the moment, otherwise time would be wasted again. As for the two daughters, Xin Tu asked them to continue swimming. Because Xin Xiao was faster, he had already pulled away from Xin Shida.
Xintu returned to the shore, came to a place a hundred meters away from the shore and stopped, took a few deep breaths, and then kicked his leg violently. With a "whoosh" sound, it turned into a streamer and rushed out. Xin Tu has completely released the phase power from Will, and there is a faint colored light circulating on the surface of his body.
"Absolutely! Absolutely! â
At this moment, the surrounding scenery has also been stretched into silk threads in Xin Tu's sight.
When approaching the sea, Xin Tu took one last breath in his chest, and subconsciously imagined that his body had become as light as a feather, and he pedaled the last step hard.
The first step was on the water. The fluid was soft and weak, and the soles of Xin Tu's feet suddenly fell into the water. At this moment, Seraf's lenses worked wonders, and Xintu entered a state of "bullet time" in which the flow of time was subjectively slowed down. The movements around him, even his own, slowed down.
Just when the water surface was about to reach the ankle, inertia and Xin Tu's subjective will, this foot kicked back hard, and released a majestic colored streamer from the "God Tower", and the strong force generated at this moment even made the water surface behind Xin Tu's foot explode, and then the other foot followed closely and stepped out.
The second step is similar to the first, which also blows up a large pool of water, but it is much better than the first step.
"No, the timing is wrong, the power release is too large, and the center of gravity is not adjusted well!"
In Xin Tu's opinion, the foot just now was not treading water, it was still paddling, but the person was not in the water. But I have to admit that this is a good start, at least Xintu didn't fall headlong in the water. It is also thanks to the fact that Xin Tu is in "bullet time" at the moment, which gives him ample thinking time to summarize, think, and correct.
The third step is to exert force at the moment of contact with the water surface...... The fourth step is to adjust the center of gravity at the moment of exertion...... The fifth step is to adjust the direction of the foot force slightly after adjusting the center of gravity...... At this moment, Xin Tu is like a child who has just learned to walk. The child learns to walk on solid ground, but he learns on the water. If outsiders pay careful attention, they will find that Xin Tu turned left and right, and even threw himself directly forward to the water, and had to slap the water with his palm to borrow again.
Finally, at the cost of consuming a lot of physical energy, Xin Tu successfully ran steadily on the water. Of course, Xintu can't do it like Captain Jack and Norrington without a trace. First, there is the reason for his own strength, and secondly, Will is also a shortcoming in terms of body skills, and it is not easy to be able to run on the water in such a short time.
Of course, this is also forced out.
Running on the water, without the blocking of the current, the speed is naturally not in the same grade. Soon Xin Tu crossed Xin Shi and Xin Xiao and went straight to the "Intrepid".
On the other side, the bulging mound slammed into the Endeavour. Suddenly, the distance from which the "Endeavour" fortress-like physique was also hit trembled, and the entire hull seemed to be tilted more than ten degrees to one side. However, the ship's harpoon cannon also "swished", and it was pushed into the water like lightning, and the slight sound of sharp blades entering the flesh resounded endlessly.
On the Dreadnought, Anaria rushed to Jack's side and said, "Captain Jack, slow down the ship." Xin Tu is rushing this way! Jack followed Analia's hope and said, "I'm sorry baby, I can't joke with the lives of a whole ship because of one man." â
On the "Dutchman", David 61 Jones handed the telescope to Song Shaoxing and said, "You are what you want!" But this guy is more talented than I thought. It's a shame that my favorite thing to do is to stifle talented people. Hahaha! Rakhi, get down for me, hand over the 'whirling cannon' to our Mr. Song, the terrifying revenge cannon is coming! With that, David 61 Jones poked the deck of the ship a few times with his crutches, "The show has begun." â
Swing cannon, is placed on the ship's side handrail can rotate freely, used to hit a key target, the shell is single and only the size of a fist, but it is better in the impact force, long range, fast reloading, and high accuracy, is the devil of every ship's chief mate or boatswain.
Song Shaoxing grabbed the handle of the gyroscope cannon, and aimed at Xintu who was rushing on the sea, and with a "bang" sound, a fist-sized round bullet shot straight towards Xintu!
Bang!
Norrington pulled the trigger of the golden open flame gun in his hand, and the lead bullet that flew out of the shot hit the shell with great precision, knocking it out of its original trajectory and smashing into the water early.
"Good marksmanship!" Captain Jack praised.
Song Shaoxing scolded, then changed to a gyroscope cannon and shouted at the same time: "I'll spend twenty years to help me reload!" Immediately, a boat ghost rushed up to load ammunition for Song Shaoxing.
Norrington intercepted another cannonball, and then he shook his head and sighed. He only has two guns, and although the opponent only has two gyroscopes, the reloading speed of the golden open flame gun is even slower, so he can only try to reload the ammunition, and he can block as much as he can.
With the sound of a cannon, another cannonball flew out almost in a straight line, and fired unswervingly at Xintu with this trajectory...... At this moment, Xintu is still more than 200 meters away from the "Intrepid".
