Chapter 482: Frustration
The reputation of the rainbow ray is known to almost even a three-year-old child, and there is no one on the ship who does not know that it can bring good luck, just as Sorjes expected, after the news broke, although there was no cowardice before, but the morale of the pirates was now greatly improved, but what made him a little laughable was that he seemed to underestimate the impact of the rainbow ray.
"Did you hear that? Our captain and Captain Genevia have been favored by the rainbow rays!"
"Of course, I already knew that our head was not an ordinary person, otherwise there were so many pirate groups, why did they have to wait until our Dragon Tooth Pirate Group recruited people before choosing to join the group?"
"Don't brag, you just came here just by looking at the money given, you have to be hairy!"
"Hey, you're still energetic, aren't you? Yes, you give more money than the average pirate group, but you have to admit it, right? Lao Tzu has been in our Dragon Tooth Pirate Group for five years, five years ago, what strength did the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group have? Can it be compared to now!"
"Cut! I won't talk to you about this, if I want to say, we will definitely be able to grab the ghost ship this time! Haha, our head has the favor of the sea god, even if he wants to die this time, it will be difficult!"
"You're excited, it's the head of the regiment who is favored by the sea god, and it's not you!"
"What's the matter! Lao Tzu is happy for the head of the regiment, dissatisfied?"
......
"Looks like it's a bit overdone...... But at least it's better than being demoralized......" Sorges smiled wryly, this overconfidence is not a good thing, it often represents recklessness, but as he said, at least it is better than demoralization.
Leaving the outer perimeter of the pirate city, the Black Gold continued to explore the water, but for some reasons, the Black Gold had only been sneaking at a depth below the surface of the sea, in order to monitor the fleet on the surface at the same time, so as not to disturb the sea without being aware of its own movements.
However, these worries seem to be a bit redundant, there are indeed a lot of fleets that go to the pirate city for the ghost ship, but too many pirate groups do not have the capital to independently compete for the ghost ship, except for the Red Heart Pirate Regiment and the Tomahawk Pirate Regiment that were in a hostile state before, and only a powerful pirate group like the Ancient Iron Pirate Regiment with the capital of confronting the Dragon Tooth Pirate Regiment can independently find the Ghost Ship, but they don't seem to have a diving magic ship, so this exploration, it is obvious that the Dragon Tooth Pirate Group wants to take advantage of it.
Since there was the Black Gold, everyone has not gone to the sea once or twice, and the scene at the bottom of the sea, even if it is not boring, is not much worse, but this time, all the backbones are very carefully observing every corner in different directions, for fear of missing even a subtle detail change.
"Wei Ya, how are you over there?" Sogers' expression was a little dark, and his tone was not as light as before.
"I didn't see anything, I couldn't see anything but pitch black, and I couldn't feel any change in power. Genevia shook her head, her expression not as ugly as that of Sorgeus, but not much better.
The main reason for all this is that on the second day after they broke away from the periphery, they did not explore the deep sea below the altitude of 1,000 meters, and stayed at a depth below 200 meters above sea level, and it stands to reason that the visibility should not be too low, but the fact is that before they decided to continue diving, the visibility began to be greatly reduced, even with the searchlights of the Black Gold, the visibility was still not high, and after about four hours of sailing, the visibility could not be restored to normal.
"Turn around, turn around, dive! If there are no accidents, the ghost ship must be deeper than before!" At the beginning, Sojes was obviously a little excited, seeing that the purpose of this trip was about to be achieved, of course he would be excited, but this excitement did not last long, when Dirk turned the bow of the ship, and gradually returned to the previous dark part of the way of diving, the Black Gold began to be harassed and attacked by fish, Sojes didn't care at first, because the attack on the Black Gold was just an ordinary carnivorous fish with no rank at all, but then he found out that something was wrong!
It's just ordinary carnivorous fish, their intelligence is so low that it's almost zero, how can they attack the Black Gold that looks like a reef in their eyes? There's definitely a reason for that.
"Boss Jack, there's a dark elemental around here!"
"Are you sure you feel right?" Sojes was a little surprised, with his perception ability, he couldn't detect the slightest change in strength, but he didn't expect Danby to speak first.
"Absolutely, yes, you see, I have this thing, as long as the nearby dark element exceeds the norm, this jade of light will turn black, the higher the concentration of the dark element, the deeper the blackness will be!" Danby took out a pure white ball with great certainty, this thing Sojes had also seen, it originally emitted a milky white light that could almost warm people's body and mind, but now, the light was gone, and even the ball had a few traces of black.
"It seems that the ghost ship is here, but the extent of the impact seems to be too great!" The margin on Sojes' face began to fade, and now the dark element was only a little beyond the norm to affect the fish, and it seemed that the aura power of the ghost ship was even more powerful than expected.
"Pass the order, everyone is required to carry two bottles of holy water, a small detachment of twenty people, and a cross badge in common, act now, move quickly!"
The obstacle of the fish is just an appetizer sent by the ghost ship, everyone knows this, and they have a vague even worse thought, if it is not the ghost ship that releases such a huge dark force field, then how strong should this existence be? It's just that the strength is acceptable, but if this powerful existence and the ghost ship appear at the same time, then how to deal with it? One of them alone is enough to make them go all out!
With the help of the Radiant Jade, the Black Gold also has a vandal in the vast darkness, whenever the black on the Radiant Jade begins to dim and disappear, it means that the direction is wrong, on the contrary, it means that the direction is accurate, but the visibility is getting lower and lower, even if there is a searchlight, the Black Gold will inevitably collide with the reef next to it, fortunately the hull is hard enough, and there is no damage in the slightest, but people feel the violent shaking in the dark, or make the people in the ship have a little panic.
"Be quiet, let me be quiet! Whoever dares to shout again, Lao Tzu will slash him!" Sojes was also angry, and his anger in this situation also meant that he was starting to find things a little tricky.
Out of his shock, the Black Gold fell into silence again, but the quieter, the more in this dark environment, the easier it is to bring panic to people, and this is only the beginning of the trouble, as the degree of diving begins to deepen, some pirates began to have breathing difficulties, at the beginning everyone did not pay too much attention, but when Dirk also appeared in this situation, Sojes remembered that this is the pressure of the water pressure began to increase, ordinary people began to bear it, although Dirk has rich sailing experience, and the time of piloting the Black Gold is longer, but this is the power brought by nature, and the relationship with experience is not particularly large。
"Damn! what are you afraid of!" Sojes pounded the ground hatefully, Genevia had already begun to sing the war song to relieve everyone's discomfort, with her help, everyone's pressure was reduced a little, because their physical fitness was temporarily enhanced, so they could also insist on continuing to dive for a distance, but this was just to quench their thirst, if the effect of the war song ended, the sudden increase in pressure may bring danger to everyone's lives.
"Blue, do you want to continue diving?" Genevia was a little worried, not only Dirk, but also the lives of more than a thousand pirates that she couldn't take lightly.
"Retreat! Go back to the pirate city first! It's too much of a mistake, you should have considered it a long time ago!" Sojes was a little annoyed, he would bring some assistance to his side with these people, but he didn't expect it to become the biggest constraint!
"Go back and buy a batch of air bells?" Fett asked a little presumptuously, as soon as these words came out, not to mention Sojes, even Genevia and Danby looked at him like a stupid fork, making him scratch the back of his head in confusion, "What's wrong?
"You're right, but have you considered the cost? The air bell can indeed offset the pressure, but it doesn't last long, even if one person is a thousand, it will cost more than a thousand, if one is not enough, it is two thousand, and if two is not enough, it is three thousand...... So many air bells, where do we get the money to buy them?" Sojes was a little depressed, he only brought 30,000 gold coins this time, and it cost 20,000 to buy holy water and cross badges, and the remaining 10,000 was not enough for everyone to have enough air bells as standard.
"Then what should I do? Is it difficult to give up so much?" Fit was a little anxious, they had been at sea for so long, and there was never a precedent for them to return empty-handed.
"Anyway, in our Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment, the lives of our brothers are the most important, even if we can't get the ghost ship, it doesn't mean that we won't have a new magic warship in the future, so don't say so much, give up this operation and make another plan!" Sojes said without hesitation, after saying this, everyone was a little sorry, it was enough to completely wipe out a hundred ships of the demon warship, it was impossible not to feel distressed, but after Sojes proposed to give up, they felt a little relieved in addition to being distressed, Sojes was not a cold-blooded pirate in the end, but still a good regimental commander who was willing to put human life first.
Now that he has decided to give up, the rise of the Black Gold has obviously begun to accelerate, although it is a little regrettable, but Sojes still has not really given up on the ghost ship, although it was easy to say just now, but he also knows that with such a huge manufacturing effort of the dragon people, it took so long to create the Black Gold Ship, and if he gave up the almost ownerless ghost ship, and then wanted to get the next one, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the Year of the Monkey.
"What should I do......" Sojes thought with a little headache, the people around him didn't bother him, they all watched the scene from all corners, and only after the visibility returned to normal did they gather together again to discuss, and finally, it was Danby who proposed a solution.
"Otherwise, let's just go into the water with the Black Gold and prepare a batch of air bells for Dirk, and there are a large number of alchemy puppets on the Black Gold, right? ”
"If you don't have any other ideas when you go back, that's all you have to do. Sojes sighed, this time and again, it will take six days at the earliest, they have come out too late than others, and if they delay for another six days, things may change again.
Three days later, the group that had not yet discussed a better way could only leave all the pirates in the pirate city, at the moment of return, Sojes used the teleportation wrist wheel to inform Tang Meng to bring the fleet to the pirate city to pick up people, this operation is not a small risk, Sojester instructed him to bring a group of more people, who dares to provoke trouble, directly do him!
After returning to the pirate city, they did not continue to stay, and then set off immediately after all the pirates went ashore, this scene also made the staff who saw it a little speechless, after working at the dock for so long, he was the first time to see the ship that left immediately after docking, but he was speechless, he also guessed that this never-before-seen magic battleship was afraid that it would find a ghost ship, and the staff with a change of mind decided to report this guess to the upper echelons, although the fanged pirate group did not participate in the whirlpool of the ghost ship, but also closely followed the progress of the matter。
Placing the pirates in the Pirate City, Sorgeth greeted Tang Meng and motioned for his fleet to speed up slightly, before diving into the sea again, this time with fewer men, so they tried to get as much rest as possible each day before reaching their target.
Three days later, the Black Gold returned to the original point, but this time, the visibility was a little higher than the previous one, Sorjes was a little vigilant in his heart, the navigation pointer and fuel consumption were exactly the same as before, it was not that they arrived at the wrong location, but the ghost ship itself moved the location, but looking at the situation, the ghost ship should not have moved too far, about three more hours of sailing, the visibility began to decrease significantly, at this moment, everyone began to observe every area nearby.
It was somewhat different from the last time, and this time the situation was somewhat unexpected, and the fish they had encountered before moved here with the dark force field, but this time, the fish did not attack the Black Gold again, even if the Black Gold kept moving, the fish seemed to really treat it as a reef and ignored it.
