"Keep your eyes open! No one is allowed to sleep! Give me to the deck! Pay attention to all the places in front of you, in front of you, on the left and right, and adjust the sail at all times, and keep your distance from the fog!"

Ron Lake, the captain of the armed clipper ship "Snow Wind", shouted in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Wake me up! After tonight, it's okay to sleep for a day and a night!"

Like a tiger trapped in a cage, he walked around restlessly, pressing his right eyelid with his fingers from time to time, but he couldn't suppress the jumping eyelids, and his heart couldn't help but be even more flustered.

From childhood to adulthood, as long as his right eyelid jumps, there will definitely be no good thing. While the extent of the bad luck is uncertain, it is certain whether it will be bad luck or not.

"Damn, what could be so unlucky?" he muttered, uneasy.

In the pirate trade, Captain Lake is a novice. He was originally a merchant in the north of Molai, doing some business between Molai and Thrace. After the Battle of Norma, his business was greatly affected and plummeted. At this time, another business rival fell into the well, fabricated evidence of his collusion with Thrace, and wanted to put him to death. Desperate, Ron Lake gathered the caravan men, seduced and seduced, and finally succeeded in helping the original group of merchants to become pirates, with the help of spirits and some drugs from some illegal organizations, and the sacrifice was to frame his enemies.

Since then, there is no "Spring Snow" Chamber of Commerce in the world that drives a fast boat to do business, but there are more "Snow Wind Pirate Group" who drive the fast ship renamed "Snow Wind" and do business at sea with no capital.

However, Captain Lake is really not a good pirate, he has been in the industry for more than two years, and his income is very dismal. If you only look at the gross profit, it seems to be better than when you started business, but because you have to give a lot of rewards to your subordinates, so that they can drink and eat meat and prostitution, in the end, the net profit is pitiful, and you are busy all year round, but in the end you can't save much money.

Captain Lake decided that this would not work, so he wanted to learn from some experts in the piracy industry. After going back and forth, they found Captain Norvi, who was said to have disembarked from the Pirate King's flagship "Redbeard" and piloted a veteran battleship from the Barbarossa Pirates.

Captain Norvi is not very old, and his experience in piracy is very young - he will not be a captain for more than a year. But in less than a year, he has successfully robbed fourteen merchant ships, obtained extremely large profits, and has become a strange soldier in the pirate world in the northeastern South China Sea.

Captain Lake and several other pirate captains are usually active in this area, and they are familiar with Captain Norvi. Seeing that this new debut guy is so good, they all have the idea of hugging their thighs - that's why there is this joint action.

According to the development of "history", these people will become the initial team of the future "Wolf Pirate Group", and in the years to come, they will continue to commit crimes with Norvi, and they will all become great pirates. However, because of the appearance of the traversers, history took a turn here, and Captain Norway died before he could become famous, and the initial team of this group of "wolf pirates" was also facing the crisis of being defeated by each one.

Captain Lake's right eyelid has been jumping incessantly since yesterday evening. This made him so uneasy that he couldn't even sleep. At the beginning of the night, the first mate woke him up and told him that "the sea is foggy", which immediately made him so excited that without even thinking about it, he directly ordered the sailors to change the direction of the sails, no longer follow the other pirate ships, and deliberately fell behind.

Pirates are shrewd people who can't rub half a grain of sand in their eyes, and although they are safe to fall behind, they will suffer a lot when they divide the spoils in the end, and if they meet a stern leader, they may send you away for a meal. So from the first mate to the sailors, the crew of the "Yukikaze" opposed the captain's orders. However, Captain Lake showed an extremely tough attitude, declaring that "this ship will concentrate on escorting friendly forces", and at the same time repeatedly emphasizing to everyone the strangeness of the situation in front of them - at sea, strangeness is danger!

Although the pirates are outlaws and don't care about danger, the backbone of Captain Lake's group of people is still the group of former businessmen. Compared to the average pirate, they can fight a little less, but their brains are not all spirits, at least a little brain. So they were finally persuaded by Captain Lake to take the captain's orders.

At this moment, this strangely moving pirate ship was spinning in circles outside the sea fog set off by Liu Daoqing, refusing to go even half a step inside.

"Why hasn't the fog cleared yet?" asked Captain Lake, frowning, "Didn't the magicians do something?"

"The ceremony to dispel the fog has been going on for almost an hour, but ...... The scope is limited. The navigator also frowned and said, "Even if we only need to go a little deeper into the fog, the effect of dispelling the fog will be gone." ”

"This fog is absolutely abnormal!" said the first mate, "and the deep sea should not have this kind of fog, let alone that it is too thick to dispel...... I think behind this fog, I'm afraid it's a sea monster or something......"

Speaking of sea monsters, the faces of several leaders of the Snowwind Pirates changed. For those who make a living at sea, the first terrible thing is the storm, and the second terrible thing is the sea monster.

This first and second is not fixed, but ...... Anyway, it's a life of nine deaths, but it's not much different......

Captain Lake Huo Ran stood up, his bloodshot eyes staring at the depths of the sea mist, his fists clenched.

He wanted to run away, but if he ran now, it turned out to be just a false alarm, then he would lose face in the pirate industry. And Captain Norway certainly couldn't spare him lightly - the end result was probably a dead end.

But...... If you don't run now, you probably don't have to wait for the "last", and you will be dead end......

Just as he hesitated, a faint exclamation and scream suddenly came from the mist.

The voice sounded like a "dragon".

He shook his body and asked the person next to him, "Did you hear anything?"

"There was a sound in the fog. ”

"It looks like someone is yelling 'dragon'......"

"But I didn't hear any roars, and it is said that dragons like to roar first when they come out?"

The sailors replied in a rambling manner.

This answer made Captain Lake determined.

"Let's go!" he cried out to the first mate, the boatswain, and the navigator, "whether he can make a fortune or not! Let's go! This strange thing must not be mixed in! It is a big deal that we will do business in another place in the future—even if we go to rob the merchant ships of Thrace, it is better than to risk it in this strange place!"

This time, the sailors did not object and silently accepted his orders.

As a result, the "Snow Wind Pirate Regiment" became the only one of the six pirate ships that escaped this joint robbery.

Captain Lake got the news almost half a month later: the five pirate ships led by Captain Norway were all destroyed, and the pirate leaders were either killed on the spot or sent to the Sea Dragon Islands to be hanged. Their bodies were cured with sea salt and hung from the harbor of Longtou Island, where the governor was kind enough to unload them and carry them into the house to shelter from the rain on rainy days, ensuring that they would become long-lasting, high-quality cured meats.

This news made Captain Lake breathe a sigh of cold air, but also deeply glad for his choice. Until a few years later, he was keen to brag about it, boasting of his own good fortune, as well as sharp judgment and extraordinary decisiveness.
