Chapter 133: Escape
At this critical juncture, Dirk fired a crucial shot, and the huge impact force caused the strange tree to be blasted back into the dense forest by this cannon, but Will clearly saw that the torso of this strange tree was not pierced, and it was very likely that this was enough to severely damage the sixth-order demonic beast at all.
Not daring to take this risk, Will hurriedly jumped out of the boat, trying to rescue Sojers who had fallen into the water, but he didn't expect that at the moment when he just jumped, Sojers actually showed his head out of the water, and his expression didn't seem to be much traumatized.
"Hey, why are you jumping down?" said Sojers, knowing this, but asked the question with no conscience, and as soon as he finished speaking, Will fell into the sea.
"Poof!"
Will, who had just fallen into the water, quickly jumped out of the water, and as soon as he showed his head, he pointed at Sojes's nose and scolded: "You have no conscience! Lao Tzu is not here to save you, I knew that you were not dead, Lao Tzu should not have wasted this idle effort!"
"Cut, stupid fork, isn't it!" Sojes glanced at the thing with disdain, "I was just smashed by Wei Ya's body, and I wasn't hurt by that strange tree, do I need you to save me?"
This is true, the reason why Sojes dived in the water for a while was only because he ran out of strength when he threw Genevia into the boat before, and he himself was not injured, but after all, Will jumped into the water because he was concerned about his safety, and it did seem a little unconscionable to say such things at this time, even if Will knew that he was just joking.
"You're all in the face!" Will scolded angrily, seeing that Cervantes on the ship had thrown the new rope ladder down, and without greeting Sojers, he ran up the rope ladder first, and Sojers followed.
"Damn, I'm scared to death!" Sorjes muttered as he got on the boat, and then thought of the crucial question: "Where's the damn tree?"
"No, it was bombarded back by the bow gun, but the situation is not very optimistic, I have paid attention to its body, and the position where it was hit by the frontal bombardment is not even a little dented. ”
Thinking of a strange tree that looked dry and had such a strong defense, Will's expression also looked very unnatural, the world is so big, it is not uncommon for a monster or monster to be like this kind of plant system, but he has been traveling south and north for so many years, and he has never seen or even heard of such a powerful plant-based demonic beast.
After weighing the pros and cons, Sojes ordered the withdrawal of the island, and almost died before he could go deeper, and if he did, he might run into some kind of trouble.
This kind of embarrassed appearance is the first time since the establishment of the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment, the scream of the strange tree caused the pirates who landed on the island to be injured somewhat, and more than a dozen unlucky ones died on the spot, which also made those pirates somewhat restrain the arrogance that they had generated before.
"Jack, that strange thing is showing up again, damn it! it didn't hurt at all!" Cervantes hadn't left the island's dense forest since Sogers and Will re-boarded the ship, and at this time, the strange tree that had just been blasted back actually stood up again, still with that strange smile on its torso.
"Withdraw, with our current strength, we don't have to fight at all!" Sojes sighed, even if he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
On the island, the strange tree chased to the beach again, and saw through the telescope that the strange tree actually had its roots rooted in the sand, and its size had shrunk to about the size of a coconut tree, which was beyond human cognition, and at the same time secretly rejoiced, fortunately, this strange tree had been rooted in the dense forest before, and if they stood on the beach when they landed on the island, I am afraid that there would be no life for a while.
After entering the sea, everyone was finally safe, and Genevia slowly woke up under Eluda's treatment, and saw that Sogers had boarded the ship safely but did not say anything, but looked at him with a somewhat ambiguous gaze, which made several people watching a little uncomfortable.
"Ahem, Jack, just now Dirk looked at the chart, the name of this island is Oniki Island, but I don't know what the person who drew the chart thinks, only named this island according to the name of this monster, but he didn't mention that there is such a strong thing on this island, damn! If he is more or less responsible, we won't be so passive!"
Interrupting the silent ambiguity between the two, Will held the chart in his hand and complained with indignation, saying that if the location of a dangerous creature is found and confirmed in the chart, then it must be marked in the chart, and the strength of the strange tree can fully be called a dangerous creature, but only the name is recorded on the chart, and what is on the island is not indicated at all.
"Maybe he saw this strange tree, but it didn't react at all, and I can't say, don't forget, it can take root in the ground, and as long as it doesn't come out, everyone will just think that this tree just looks a little strange. "Sojes didn't care about this, anyway, the crisis was over, the casualties weren't too big, he was just taking pity on the coconuts on the island.
"So what now?" Cervantes sat cross-legged on the deck, originally after seeing the coconut trees on the island, he was still thinking about using this as a base candidate, but now these are about to be overturned, he, like Will, is not very in favor of claiming territory from the French Empire, as for the reasons, there is no need to elaborate, one is that he does not want Sorgers to overdraw his tolerance in the French Empire, and the other is that he does not want to be exposed to the eyes of the Empire.
"What else can I do? continue to circle the archipelago, but this time don't think about forcibly occupying the islands, see if you can find some good mineral deposits, and make a fortune first." Sojes didn't have a good idea, and the three ships set sail from Onigi Island and landed on an island that had been marked as not in great danger, but this time the crowd was much more cautious, and as soon as they landed on the island, they took out their weapons one after another.
With what had just happened, everyone chose to act together, Sojes at the front of the group, Genevia slightly behind her by half a body, and Decker alongside Dirk, Eluda second, Cervantes and Riddier in the center of the group, Will behind, and Wibull and Boud stayed on the boat. A group of hundreds of people dragged a long line in the jungle.
"Ahh
"Well, it looks a little scary......" Genevia was a little embarrassed and pointed to a strange mass of plants not far away, and in the direction of her finger, everyone found a mass of plants that looked like berries, but this mass of berries was indeed a little strange, the skin was white, but there was a small black spot in the center of the top, and the branches were blood-red, and from a distance it looked like an eyeball with a nerve attached.
I almost perished because of the plants before, but this time I saw something so strange. "Is it that I have been hated by plants for eating too much vegetarian during this time, then I promise to eat only meat every day in the future!"
At this moment, Eluda suddenly walked past Sojeth and walked towards the eye-like berry, and instead of fear, there was a hint of surprise on her face: "It's a baby eye!
"Elu, be careful!" Genevia exclaimed, and then went over to stop her.
"It's okay, this thing is a real plant, it just looks weird, look, isn't it good?" uprooting a baby eye, Eluda said with a grin, but the red sap after pulling out the roots was not very convincing.
"Well, is there really nothing wrong with that?" Sojes chuckled dryly, and now Eluda looked like she had just had a corpse dissected, with a bloodshot eyeball in her hand......
