Chapter 9: Discovering the Treasure Island
"Alliance leader, it's not good, we're under attack!" As soon as Tie Tie saw Xiao Lang'er, he jumped off the boat and crawled to Xiao Lang'er's side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info clothes are ragged, the face is pale, and the lips are trembling.
The dozen or so sailors behind him were also distraught, and when they returned to the port, they could not stand up straight, so they lay on the ground, and Xiao Lang'er told the doctor to take care of them, while holding on to the iron bolt.
"Say it slowly, don't be in a hurry!" Xiao Lang'er comforted him.
"Alliance leader, this is the case, after I left here with my brothers, all the way to the northwest of the Cape of Good Hope, after six days of driving, we saw an island, vaguely as if there was a statue on the island, because of the fog, I can't see clearly, and there are a lot of reefs around, the waves are very fast, and our boats can't get in.
At this time, three fleets came from three directions, each team had four or five boats, and later learned that it was the fleets of Spain, Portugal, and England, and when they saw my ships, they began to shoot, as if it had been agreed in advance, and I had to lead the ships to venture to the island, and the ships of the three countries also caught up, and before they got to the island, there was a fleet in front of them, which was a Dutch ship, and we were not allowed to pass.
Then came three more fleets, with white and black flags, and gray, with some vicious patterns on the flags, which seemed to be some pirate ships, and as soon as the ships approached, they began to exchange fire, and I took the opportunity to adjust the direction and rushed out of the cracks, otherwise the ships would become a sieve, and then we left the enemy ships far away, and went around the island with statues, and there was no place to go up, the island was very large, and there were many reefs around, and the current was very fast, and we did not dare to get too close, and the lower part of the island was all sunken down and cliffs, and the strange rocks were craggy, like a vicious beastใ
We drove slowly through the fog, and in some places the current was gentle, some were countercurrent, some were rapids that met with each other, and there were also gentler waters. Later, I finally found one that could go up, the root of a large tree, which spread down from the island and plunged into the bottom of the sea, and I asked most of the people to stay underneath, hide the boat, and if the enemy found it, send a signal quickly, or slip away quickly.
I took more than 20 people to explore the road first, and climbed up, this island is really not small, very high, there are many mountains, vaguely see the head of a statue, huge and mighty, but I don't know who it is, some of the trees in it we may never have seen, are strangely shaped, like mushrooms, and then grow a few huge leaves, the color is still very bright, the leaves are colorful, all shrouded in fog, there is no road, we use a machete to cut a path out.
I was walking in front of me, and suddenly I heard a terrible cry from behind, and I looked back, and there were five or six brothers who were hung into the air by the branches, and then opened their leaves to wrap them, and not even a drop of blood came out, and several brothers ran to the rescue, and they were entangled in the vines, and their eyes bulged out, and we lost eleven brothers at once, and I had to retreat with my brothers, and I thought that if I went further in, I guess we would have been reimbursed before I saw the statue, and just as we were about to leave, a crack suddenly opened in the ground, and we were caught off guard and fell, and I grabbed a vine in a hurry, and the other brothers fell, let out a miserable cry, stretched out my hand and shouted for help, but I was weak to protect myself, I couldn't catch their hands, I only saw my brothers fall underneath, screaming for a long time, the sound really made me worry about my heart, scratching my heart, by the faint light, I saw that the brothers were sticky below, the brothers were corroded by a solution, not even the bones were left, only a few clothes floated, and a few green bubbles were bulging.
I was so panicked that I almost fell down as hard as I could climb up, my feet hung in the air, and I had to rely on the strength of my arms to grab on to the vines and climb up a little bit, and I couldn't breathe anymore when I used all my strength, so I didn't dare to stay there a little longer, so I carefully walked through the jungle and slid down the roots of the trees, but fortunately my brothers were still there, so I took them and drove away, and went around in the direction of return.
But we were horrified to see that the seven flotillas had ceased fighting, and there were some wrecks of ships floating on the water, and all the people looked down in horror, and saw a large whirlpool, which swirled and sucked a smaller ship down, and then the whirlpool went to another place, and sucked a small warship into it, and several times in a row, the people on the other ships were shouting, and as they hurried to the island, they opened fire into the sea, and they did not know what they had found.
Suddenly one of our sailors let out a scream, and he pointed his finger in horror to the depths of the sea, and we looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a huge figure flashing by, and we didn't know what it was, but it was huge, and then it struck at the ships, and the monster's tail was only a little out, the length of a mast, and it was smashed into an English gunboat, and the huge hull was cut in two. With the screams of the sailors they sank to the bottom of the sea, and some of the remaining ships fled, some fled to the island, and about five or six ships came ashore, and those men hurried to the island, and seven or eight boats ran away. The rest of the ships were sucked in by the whirlpool, and some were sunk by the monsters.
At this time, we had to start the boat quickly, but the monster pursued, fortunately our ship ran fast, overtaking several other ships, those ships were smashed by the impact in a roar, the sailors on the ship desperately dived, trying to swim away as soon as possible, but were sucked by an invisible force, the body swam very slowly, and finally, a lot of small whirlpools appeared on the surface of the sea, forming small holes, sucking these people in, and we didn't have time to sympathize with them, the monster pursued them again, oh my God, I finally saw some traces, it seemed to be a huge moray eel, and it seemed to be a python, and it could also be the legendary sea dragonThe monster pursued us for a long distance, and then sent out a bolt of lightning that struck our ship, and three of our sailors were hit, and they were all black, and they burned, and their bodies turned into powder at once, and when the wind blew, they disappeared, and our ship was penetrated, but fortunately it was blocked by the deck, otherwise it would have been annihilated.
At this time, the boat leaked, and the rest of us about twenty people hurried to plug the loophole and scoop the water out, and we could only pray to God to bless us not to let the monster eat us, and not to drown in the sea, at this moment, the sea breeze blew, and it happened to be a tailwind, and the speed of the boat became very fast, and the hole was also blocked by us, and we breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, but the legs were still like chaff, because we had never seen such a long monster, even the largest whale could not compare, and we doubted that it was some kind of ancient monster.
When we looked back, the monster was gone, not even the island, only a layer of fog, and we guessed we had run farther. I wondered what happened to those people who ran to the island, I guess it would be the same as them. โ
The iron bolt trembled and said so much, his eyes were straight, he was very frightened, Xiao Lang'er sent someone to take care of him, while looking into the distance, it seems that this trip is really dangerous, one unfortunate step, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, fortunately, this time I sent someone to explore the way, otherwise the loss will be greater, Xiao Lang'er's face became solemn.
