Chapter 153: Chasing Souls and Killing (I)

Two hundred years ago, at the height of the art of navigation, a great navigator, Esra Rondo, accomplished a feat that no one has done yet.

He sailed a three-griffin ship around the world, covering seven seas and four major lands, drawing a magnificent map of the world from the places he had visited and seen, and writing an immortal nautical classic inscription "World Nautical Atlas" based on what he saw and heard.

This book is a compulsory course for all officers of the Naval Academy and even the Army Academy, and countless captains carry it with them, just as Christians carry the Gospel of Mission.

This world nautical atlas records the world's scenic spots, all kinds of terrifying monsters on land and sea, and many lesser-known places where undercurrents and reefs of the sea gather.

In his World Charts, Ezra Rondo paints the island with a touch of disgust and awe: an island cursed by demons, like a demon entrenched on the island, silently watching every traveler who passes by her, opening its bloody jaws and devouring it if a daring traveler dares to approach it.

Similarly, Ezra Rondo has commented on the top 10 canyons in the world, whether it is the majestic Kumar Grand Canyon at number one or the pocket canyon of Emmira at number 10, Esra Rondo has used a lot of pen and ink to describe them in detail and precision, and has mentioned what any captain needs to be aware of when passing through them.

But from 1st to 10th, or from 10th to 1st, Ezra Rondo did not mention Moore Canyon.

For he did not think of it as a canyon at all, he thought it was a valley leading to hell, and anyone with a little knowledge of navigation should know that it was impossible for a ship to sail, and that any life that dared to enter it would be a reef piled up in the canyon.

He described the Moore Strait as a ghost, which should not exist in this world at all, like a devil who challenged the curiosity and competitiveness of any captain, more like a demon's throat and esophagus, the entrance to the canyon was its deep mouth, the craggy rocks on both sides of the cliff were its teeth, and any life along this road would eventually lead to only one place.

That's hell!

Tang Jie experienced this first-hand when he just sailed into the Moore Strait, although he had not read the "World Navigation Chart" at all, and he didn't even know who Ezra Rondo was, but what he knew was that he was now standing at an altitude of 10,000 meters, walking a tightrope against the storm!!

From time to time, there are rock walls sticking out of the cliff like devil's hands, dense, twisted and hideous to grab them, Tang Jie can't even control the boat to dodge left and right, because both sides are full of reefs, and the route is extremely narrow, the boat bumps and bumps into the rock wall in the rapids, and every time you take a step forward, there will be news of damage to the hull.

"The mainsail is scratched!"

"The right side of the ship is broken!"

"Report, a crack in the bottom cabin after rubbing against the reef!"

"Captain, the belly of the ship has been smashed by a rock!"

One after another urgent and frightened sounds were mixed with the creaking of the ship's wooden ****, the crashing of the rushing waves, and the frightened cries of the sailors, these sounds were like the cries of the revenants chasing their lives, and they kept drilling into Tang Jie's ears.

Tang Jie only felt like he was sitting in the middle of a fire, and his whole person was very nervous, he turned his head and shouted: "Hell, isn't there any good news!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sharp "whoosh" sound of a cannonball breaking through the air, and a "boom" sound, and less than five meters from the bridge behind him, the deck was smashed into a hole.

Sawdust flew everywhere, and nearby sailors turned on their backs.

Tang Jie was furious: "Bastard, how dare these guys chase in? What about our stern cannons? Fire the cannons, fire the cannons for me!!"

Pompeii's first mate staggered up from the deck, and hurriedly commanded the sailors to pounce on the stern, manipulating the stern guns and preparing to return fire on the enemy.

But he and the sailors were about to run to the stern guns with the powder kegs on their shoulders, when they saw another shell make a sharp whistling sound, and with a bang, it blew the stern guns to pieces!

The first mate of Pompeii was stunned to watch the hundreds of pounds of stern guns bounce high under the bombardment of cannonballs, and then smashed down with black pressure, smashing several nearby sailors who had no time to dodge into a blur of flesh and blood, and killed on the spot.

Pompey's first mate watched the cannon fall, and he didn't even react to dodge at all, until he was splashed with blood, he shook his whole body, his teeth chattered, and shouted to Tang Jie: "Captain, we have been shot!

"Bastard!!" Tang Jie turned his head sharply and looked back.

They saw that these battleships were lined up in vertical lines, and the nearest battleship bombarded their butts with its bow gun.

Tang Jie didn't have time to give an order before he heard Christina shouting above his head like a desperate one: "At a twenty-five degree angle ahead, there is a large reef!"

"!!" Tang Jie felt like he was surrounded by flames, scorching, steaming with heat all over his body, both nervous and with an inexplicable heat and wild air boiling in his body, he tore his somewhat messy military uniform, stood shirtless, stood on the bridge and yelled, "I don't believe that I can't break through!!"

Tang Jie threw his clothes on the ground, held the rudder with both hands, gritted his teeth and tried to pull the rudder, turning the boat to the right with a squeak, and shouted loudly in the panting space: "Sailman, hit the 50-degree oblique side sail!"

"Yes, Captain!!" the sailmen on deck who were maneuvering the sails immediately pulled the thick ropes and let out a trumpet cry, their bodies bent like a bow, their muscles rolling the size of beans, and no one could tell whether it was the water that was constantly bursting up from the sides of the ship or the beads of their sweat.

A most primitive force and beauty trembles, flows, and bursts on the thick sail ropes!

"It's going to be touched!!" Christina looked under the hull with a monocular, feeling her mouth dry with nervousness, and her palms were covered with greasy sweat!

Tang Jie threw himself next to the side of the bridge and leaned out to look under the ship, only to see a huge black image under the water slowly approaching them like a devil in the water.

Five, three, two, one!

With a bang, the ship shook violently, and everyone on the deck suddenly fell into a rolling hoist, and some sailors even let out a scream and tumbled from the side of the ship into the sea, and the shouts were buried by the sound of the waves in an instant!

Angel, who had been standing next to Tang Jie, was shocked to the point that his body was crooked, his body lost his center of gravity, and he fell under the bridge as soon as he turned over.

Tang Jie's eyes were quick, he immediately grabbed her, and then pulled her back into his arms violently, Tang Jie didn't have time to appreciate what it was like to hold jade in this kind of arms, he glared and shouted: "What are you still doing here? Go back to your cabin!"

When Angel was held in Tang Jie's arms, she felt a strong manly breath coming to her face, which made her breath suffocate suddenly, but before she had time to blush, she was angered by Tang Jie's words, she glared at her eyes and yelled without showing weakness: "Everyone here is fighting, how can I hide in the cabin to shiver?"

Tang Jie laughed angrily, this little lady is quite individual, but he knows that now is not the time to quarrel with her, he is about to use force to threaten, but he hears a series of terrifying sounds like thunder one after another.

"Captain, there's a lot of water in the bilge!!"

"Captain, the water is flooding in too fast for us to resist!!"

"The hull draft is too strong, we're sinking!!"

All the sailors of the whole ship were panicked, and the sailors who did not have to operate sails and guns rushed to the cabin like crazy with any tool that could scoop water.

Tang Jie was shocked, he didn't have time to care about Angel, he helped her to stand up, looked up and yelled at the first mate Pompeii: "Pompeii, quickly find a sailor with quick hands and feet and good eyesight to go up and replace Christina for me!!"

Pompey's first mate didn't have time to think at all, and immediately turned his head and shouted, "York!"

As soon as he saw that York was lying under the cannon of the stern gun that had just been blown away, his head turned into a puddle of red and white mud, Pompey gave a cold war, and immediately turned his head to look for another person: "Thor, you hurry up and ......"

Before he finished his words this time, he saw another bombardment of the enemy ships behind him, and Pompey saw a flower in front of him, and Thor was bombarded by this cannon and disappeared, and then a group of sailors fell down like waves, screaming!

"Damn, how can there be such a thing!!" Rao is Pompeii has seen a lot of wind and waves, and he is also frightened by this terrifying scene in front of him!

Where the fuck is this boat safe?

Pompey's face turned pale in the spot, and in this desperate situation of death, he felt that his hands and feet were weak, and there seemed to be a demon in his mind laughing at him loudly: Give up, don't go against death!

But a thunderous voice shook him: "Pompeii, are you fucking deaf or stupid? Can't hear what I'm saying?"

Tang Jie was extremely angry, he roared angrily, like the thunder god of the fury of the heavenly court, and the sound shook Pompeii's eardrums almost burst!

Pompey's body trembled, his face turned blue and pale, he looked up at the towering mainmast, suddenly roared, slapped himself twice on the cheek, and then crawled up the mainmast like a madman!

Tang Jie was stunned, he didn't expect Pompeii to go up by himself, he went up, who would help him command these sailors?

But Tang Jie didn't have time to correct this anymore, he immediately yelled at Christina: "Christina, you quickly take your guards, get out of the cabin, find everything that can fill the hole in the cabin, and plug that damn hole for me!"

When Christina heard the voice, she immediately inserted the monoculars into the beam and sail rope of the main mast, which was left for the first mate of Pompeii, and she jumped straight down with a snort, landed on the deck with a bang, and then asked Tang Jie loudly, "What are we going to block?"

Tang Jie waved a hand: "There are planks in the cabin, wooden strips or something, I don't care, you can dismantle all the furniture, I don't care! I don't want to know what you use to plug that damn hole, I just want to know how much time it will take you to plug that damn hole!!"

Christina's face was grim, and she immediately rushed into the cabin with her guards, this force can only be led by her to exert outstanding combat effectiveness, if the first mate of Pompeii is led to block the cabin, Tang Jie is not at ease at all.

"If you don't have wood, use your body to fill it, I don't care so much!!" Tang Jie looked at Christina's figure and yelled with a hideous face, he smashed his fist on the helm platform, "Isn't there a fucking good news!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Angel shout behind him, "Captain......"

When Tang Jie heard this voice now, he felt that his head was as big as a fight, as if someone had whipped him on the back with a leather whip, he immediately jumped up like thunder, turned his head and roared: "What's the matter? What's the bad news!!"

Angel was startled by his hideous face, and unconsciously took a step back, she pointed in the direction of the stern and said, "It's good news!"

"Huh?" Tang Jie raised his eyebrows, "Good news?"

He turned his head to look, but saw that the battleship following behind him was even bigger than them, so it ran aground in the strait in advance, and the battleship behind him suddenly crashed into a ball, and could no longer continue to pursue them.

Tang Jie burst out laughing, his laughter was like thunder, and it shook harshly in this narrow canyon.

But before his laughter disappeared, he saw the battleship at the stern of the reef bombarding them frantically with its bow guns, one shot more accurate than the other, and one shot more ruthless!

With a bang, Tang Jie was so shocked that he stood on the helm platform and staggered, and his hands were forced to get out of the helm.

As soon as the rudder lost the support of people, it immediately grunted violently, Tang Jie was shocked, and immediately jumped up like a bow, pounced on the helm platform, and grasped the rudder with both hands again.

At this time, the rudder is the lifeblood of the whole ship, as long as the rudder is the slightest bit out of control, they will all die in the sea!

After Tang Jie pounced on the rudder, he desperately turned the rudder to turn it back to its original position.

After the bow of the Eagle tilted, Tang Jie once again rushed to turn back.

Just this moment shocked Tang Jie into a cold sweat.

But before he could wipe his sweat, he was once again shaken up by a cannonball, and his hands almost escaped from the wet and slippery rudder again.

"Hell, they sank us with their bow guns before they could get out of the strait!" Tang Jie scolded and glared angrily at the enemy ship at the stern, "Fuck, the tiger is not powerful, are you a hellokitty for me?".

Tang Jie turned his head and said loudly to Angel: "You are at the helm!!"

Angel saw Tang Jie next to her and was almost shocked to fly out several times, she squatted and grabbed the handrail on the bridge when she was secretly frightened, but suddenly heard such a sentence, she was stunned, and said loudly in disbelief: "What?

"Nonsense, is there anyone else on this bridge?". Tang Jie yelled.

Angel was shocked and angry: "But, but I won't!!"

Tang Jie said angrily: "I won't just learn now!!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but pull Angel up, dragged him to the rudder, handed the rudder to her, and then took out the miracle arrow hidden behind him, and strode towards the stern of the boat......
