Chapter 589: Pirates
Three days later, Chen Rui, who had never seen the sea in his previous life, finally achieved his wish in this shijie.
The first impression of seeing the sea is big, and the majestic visual impact of this kind of personal experience is not something that can be felt by watching TV, even the Angry Sea Training Ground in the super system cannot be compared to it. As far as the eye can see, there is no boundless, only the distant horizon can be seen.
Chen Rui finally understood what it meant to be "a line between the sea and the sky", feeling the cool sea breeze with moisture, and a broad feeling was born in his heart.
Behind the boundless vastness is endless danger, which Chen Rui knows very well, he has made sufficient preparations before departure, and the storage warehouse has stored a large amount of rich food, as well as a lot of emergency things.
Flying slowly from the coast to the sea, Chen Rui scooped out the boat that Tetnes had sent.
When the old man scooped out a whole big ship from the special space ring, he was quite proud, and when he saw that Chen Rui didn't bring any space equipment, and directly put it away out of thin air, he was almost dissected on the spot.
Having said that, the ship that the old man gave was indeed very good, just the appearance was gorgeous and magnificent, and it was somewhat similar to the Black Pearl in a famous pirate movie that Chen Rui had seen before, and what was even more awesome was that many things on the ship were "automatic transmissions", and they only needed to be powered by magic crystals.
However, such a large ship, with Chen Rui and the Earth Elemental Monarch plus an amoeba, no matter how you look at it, it is incongruous.
Moore looked at the ship with the eyes of an expert: "It's a remarkable work, both in terms of layout, structure, facilities...... It's all quite reasonable, and many of the ideas are ingenious, especially when it is equipped with this kind of magic crystal cannon that should be improved, you know, ordinary ships can't withstand the shock of the magic crystal cannon. This ship, not a connoisseur with a lot of seafaring experience, could not have been built. ”
According to Tetnes, the ship was built by his own hands. Can't you see that the old man is still a navigator? Chen Rui scratched his head: "I don't understand this. All I know is that the main materials of this ship are Ebonwood and Jinruisha, which are as hard as quasi-legendary-grade metal armor, at least in terms of 'firmness' as you mentioned earlier, no problem. ”
"It's really solid. Moore smiled. "Why don't you give it a name?"
Chen Rui couldn't help but think of the faint fragrance of tea, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay to call it the Mandala, it's just ...... What are we going to do now? Raise the sails?"
"Mandala, good name. As for how to sail the ship...... Don't worry about that. A cloud of yellow light appeared in Moore's hand, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a handful of sand that shimmered blue. The sand flew out of Moore's hands and quickly spread across the deck.
Then, those sand slowly coalesced into a human figure, and after the light dissipated, thirty blue "sand people" made of sand and gravel appeared in front of Chen Rui's eyes, the density of these sand figures was extremely dense, and they looked extremely strong, and their strength was that of a high-level demon.
Moore clapped his hands. The sandman's dim eyes glowed with a white light, and he seemed to be endowed with a soul, and began to go about his work. Sailing, steering, lookout, defense, etc., the division of labor is very clear, and there is an experienced and tacit team.
Di Di looked at these "crew members" who appeared out of thin air in a daze, and couldn't close his mouth for a long time, Chen Rui also understood that Moore Weishenme was so calm.
"These are earth elemental bodies made from sea blue sand and have special abilities for ship navigation. Actually, thanks to the liliang of the Wo Yuan Soil that you gave last time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to complete the transformation so easily. ”
Chen Rui smiled and made a gesture of "please": "Then...... Captain, please start our voyage. ”
As Moore said, the sandmen had a special talent for sailing, and all kinds of work were done in an orderly manner. Moreover, Moore has a special elemental sensitivity, combined with inheritance memories, which can lock the direction of the most intense water element, and will not lose his way in the vast sea. With this king and those younger brothers here, Chen Rui only needed to sleep in the cabin guest room with peace of mind. ...,
Didiu is also full of curiosity about the sea, and it was fine for a while when he first entered the sea. As the sailing distance increases, you can see the vast sea all around, and you can't even see a place to dock, which is completely different from the navigation of inland rivers. The amoeba gradually developed a kind of fear, and it was difficult to adapt to the rocking of the hull, which made it very uncomfortable, and often had a bitter face, and even its appetite was greatly reduced.
Chen Rui didn't have any discomfort such as seasickness, the long and boring voyage at sea was nothing to him, when he practiced in the training ground of the super system, it was often a hundred days, and he was alone, and now he still had a friend like the Earth Elemental King by his side.
The Earth Elemental Monarch has inherited the memories of the past dynasties, and his knowledge and experience are extremely rich, and during the conversation, Chen Rui has learned a lot of things, which can be said to have benefited a lot.
Before you know it, three days have passed.
At noon, Chen Rui had just finished lunch and was talking to Moore on the deck. The sandmen at the lookout hurried to report to Moore, seemingly spotting something unusual.
The elite earth elemental people have a very strong learning ability and can easily grasp the lingua franca of the demon world, but the sand people are still relatively low-level elemental bodies and can only use the language of the elements, but fortunately, Chen Rui has an eye for analysis and can understand the meaning.
The Sandman reported that through the Lookout Magic Mirror, he spotted three ships in front of him.
Chen Rui heard Moore say that the Sea of Death contains immeasurable rich resources, and the alchemy materials alone can bring huge benefits, so many merchant ships take huge risks to shuttle back and forth across the ocean. Originally, Luping Town, the southernmost part of the Blue Melt Territory, was a prosperous town that ate by the sea, gathering many merchants and seafarers who came and went to trade, and it was also the largest economic source of the Blue Melt Territory.
However, about a year ago, the town of Lupin was devastated, and all living beings were slaughtered by the unknown Shili, turning it into a dead town that everyone was distorted.
The root of this matter Chen Rui is very clear, in order to recover from the injuries of the elemental war, the dark elemental king Hegel found three sources of darkness and used a large number of living beings to sacrifice to repair his body. Lupin Town is the third source of darkness, for which Hegel brutally killed all living beings, which is also involved in the conspiracy of the Blue Melt Lord at the time and a mysterious person who needs to break through the bottleneck of the secret Liliang.
After this disaster, the town of Lupin was almost devastated, or the later lord Sumen blamed all the sins on the evil deeds of the former lord, spent a lot of money and energy to revitalize the town of Lupin, and formulated a series of favorable measures such as reducing tax rates and security protection. Tempted by the huge profits of marine resources, the town of Lupin slowly began to recover, and the ships on the Sea of Death gradually began to increase.
"Keep watching!" Moore ordered, "Crews in all positions take precautions, gunners are in position." Always ready for battle. ”
Chen Rui frowned: "It's a pirate ship?"
Not only the original earth, but in this Shijie, piracy is also a fairly old criminal industry, since the ships sailed, there have been pirates, and the destruction of Lupin Town almost destroyed the entire "food chain", which once made the pirates unemployed. With the revival of Lupintown, the bandits of the sea began to rise again. The pirates of the Sea of Death are known to be cruel in their methods, not only for money, but also for life, and usually to leave no one alive.
"Not necessarily, it's better to take precautions. ”
At this time, with Chen Rui's eyesight. He could already faintly see the black dots on the sea in the distance, and he was keenly aware that there was an extra bird in the sky, flying at a rather high altitude.
"My friend. You're really right," Moore looked up at the sky and said indifferently: "This is a mutated sea vulture, which has the special ability of farsightedness, and is often used by pirates to detect situations. ”...,
The sandman was starting to emit red magic signal lights in rhythm, equivalent to a long-distance communication language at sea, but the other party didn't seem to see it, and the three ships spread out into a "pin" shape and quickly headed towards this side.
In the coming
One of the largest ships, a blue skin. The skinny guy with the fins behind his ears had a manifestation magic in his hand, which was exactly what the sea eagle saw in his eyes, and he shouted excitedly: "Brothers, come and see this ship!"
"I've never seen such a luxurious ship!"
"It's bigger than our Black Spider!
"I couldn't see the details of the ship, and it was obscured by protective magic. But there should be a lot of cargo and Sombra!"
"Maybe there will be beautiful women!"
“......”
Another gloomy voice rang out: "Okay! Cheer up Lao Tzu, it shouldn't be an ordinary merchant who owns this kind of ship, send a signal to the Iron Hook and the Blood Moon, and start the water magic pump to move forward at full speed! If you can have a satisfactory harvest this time, I will take everyone to the Blue Melting City to have a good time!"
It was a vicious-looking demon who spoke, with a hideous scar on his face and wearing a dark silver armor, and all the pirates cheered as soon as these words came out.
"Yes, Captain Joseph!"
The three pirate ships quickly approached, and at this moment, the big ship of the "Fat Sheep" suddenly shone with a strong light, and a white pillar of light shot out, and the Iron Hook, which rushed to the front, was hit before it could turn on the protective magic.
The entire ship was torn apart by the terrifying energy, and wherever the power went, whether it was pirates or facilities, it was reduced to particles and dissipated.
The pirates of the Black Spider and the Blood Moon watched in amazement as the Iron Hook collapsed in an instant, the massive ship had vanished without a trace, and only a handful of survivors were desperately swimming towards their companion ship on the surface.
Crystal Cannon!
There is a magic crystal cannon on board!
This kind of power! This kind of range! I have never heard of it! Even the magic crystal cannon equipped with a military fortress does not have this kind of horror!
Is this a fat sheep, or a dragon?
/>
Joseph, the Great Demon Captain, reacted the fastest, shouting, "Slow down, turn on the magic protection immediately!"
After a few moments, I saw a "warship" turn its hull, and white light erupted from the other side again, this time targeting the Blood Moon. Having learned from the destruction of the Iron Hook, the Blood Moon has already turned on a blue water-based magic protection, and at the same time, it is very experienced in using the power of the water-based magic pump to accelerate the movement of the ship, so as not to be locked on by the opponent.
This dodge undoubtedly worked, this time the white light did not hit, but the persistence of this white light was very amazing, it actually maintained its power, moved laterally, and equipped with a huge long sword, sweeping the Blood Moon that was too late to dodge.
The blue protective magic lasted only a minute before it collapsed, and then the Hook was repeated.
This time, the power of the magic crystal cannon has been weakened a lot due to the movement and the offset of the protective shield, and it has only cut the Blood Moon in half. However, in this kind of sea, it was still a fatal blow, and the pirates could only watch the remaining wreckage slowly sink into the sea, and jumped into the water to escape, and a few of them could barely float or stand on the water.
In a short period of time, the two ships were wiped out, and the only surviving Black Spider, the pirates, including the captain Joseph, were all sweating in horror.
It's not that these pirates haven't fought, and even their personal combat strength is quite fierce, but this kind of battle is the first time that they have been killed and disabled without even seeing the other party's face. ...,
Although the Black Spider's defensive mana is better than that of the Blood Moon and the Iron Hook, it is also unable to resist the terrifying magic crystal cannon, and if the opponent has a third blow, then the Black Spider will also follow in the footsteps of the other two ships.
Once you lose your ship, even if you can get away with it, there is only one way for the pirates to die in this vast sea where you can't even see the island.
"Quick, turn the ship, run away!" Joseph yelled almost hysterically, and with little urging him, the pirates were already scrambling to turn the ship and flee backwards.
Chen Rui had already learned about the murderous deeds of these pirates, so he didn't have any mercy, but he was surprised by the power of the improved magic crystal cannon in naval battles.
"Moore, the magic crystal cannon should be cooled down now, why don't we catch up and destroy these guys, so as not to harm the merchant ships." It would be better to capture the boss alive and find out the latest situation in the Sea of Death. ”
Moore nodded, and ordered the sandman to control the Mandala to chase after the Black Spider, the mandala's power was far better than the Black Spider, and with the sandman's ship control skills, the distance was shortened by a minute.
This situation caused the pirates, who had no military qualities, to panic and make a mess
"Oh no! The enemy is catching up!
"What to do!"
"Even if we don't get closer, just if that magic crystal cannon is fired again, we will be dead!"
"Shut up!" the Great Demon Joseph pulled out a long knife and cried out through gritted teeth, "Go to the Siren's area! If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
