Chapter 42: The Jewel and the Trident (Asking for Votes, Asking for Reading)
On the island, the people who escaped safely looked at the broken black pearl in front of them in horror.
Barbossa was the only one with his eyes on the Fear.
"Shansa?"
The witch standing on the side of the ship did not respond to his call, but just looked coldly at the crowd.
Then the water ghost appeared behind her, put his hand on the witch's shoulder, and said coldly, "Jack Sparrow, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Jack, who was suddenly named, felt that he didn't know the person in front of him, so he stiffened his neck and reminded, "Captain! Please call me Captain Jack Sparrow! ”
"As you wish, Jack... Captain. Lu Wu replied with a smile.
Then the water ghost jumped off the side of the boat and walked in front of everyone step by step.
"You're so lively here, are you having a party, can you take me with you?"
Barbossa, however, showed no appreciation for the kindness he unleashed, and said to the young girl next to him, "Go find the trident with Jack, and we'll stop him." ”
"Remember... Be fast, the sooner the better! ”
In the previous fight, the one-legged pirate had already deeply realized Lu Wu's strength, and even Salazar, who was notorious, had to avoid his edge.
So his behavior is basically killing himself,
But in order to protect his long-lost daughter, there is no other way.
"But—" Karina wanted to stay, but was pulled away by Captain Jack, who knew the inside story.
It's not that Jack is afraid of death, but the priority now is to find the Trident, otherwise all the previous efforts will be in vain.
And Lu Wu seemed to have deliberately let the two of them go, and did not make unnecessary moves.
When Barbossa saw the water ghost standing in place, he didn't dare to act rashly, after all, he didn't really want to die.
The only remaining crew members on the Black Pearl, seeing that neither side had the intention of making a move, stopped fighting one after another, but faintly surrounded Lu Wu in the middle to prevent him from making any changes.
Under Lu Wu's deliberate guidance, the two sides were at a stalemate.
On the other side, Captain Jack and Karina have traveled to the depths of the island, which is magical, composed entirely of black reefs, without a single vegetation on it, and the area is not large, and you can see the edge when you look up.
There are many strange-shaped reefs with many sparkling gems attached to them.
As the sun rises, the sun shines on these shiny stones, reflecting a colorful glow.
Captain Jack looked around curiously, and finally drew his sword and tried to pry the stones off.
Karina, however, turned a blind eye to the treasures and excitedly said, "This is what we are looking for." ”
Captain Jack, who had just put two stones in his pocket, asked in disgust, "A pile of stones?" ”
The girl took out the map book that her father had left her, rubbed the pattern on it, and said, "No, it's not a stone. ”
"It's the stars."
"This island is the reflection of the star map."
"This is a map that no one can read."
Then she looked around, and sure enough, she saw five distinctive red stones, arranged in the same way as in the map book.
"But why is there one less star?" Karina muttered to herself.
Jack looked in the direction of her eyes, and sure enough, one gem was very dim, while the other four were shining a dazzling red light.
"Quick, let's go and see, we must find the Trident to save everyone."
With that, Karina hurried to the bleak stone with the hem of her skirt, and Captain Jack hastened to follow, before he could say a word.
Soon the two came to the vicinity of the stone, and the girl stroked the huge red gem on the reef and asked suspiciously, "Why doesn't it light up?" ”
Seeing this, Captain Jack on the side took out a slightly smaller red stone from his arms and handed it to her: "Karina, put it together." ”
The girl recognized the gem at a glance as the one Barbossa had taken from her map book.
It was also left to her by her father.
Karina looked at the gem and reluctantly placed it on the notch of the giant gem.
"The Lost Stars in memory of my father."
When the missing part is returned to its place, the whole gem glows brilliantly red, just like the others.
Not only that, but a pillar of light suddenly appeared between several gemstones, connecting them to each other.
Immediately after, the ground beneath the feet of the two began to shake, and waves swelled on the sea not far away.
This caught the attention of everyone on the shore, and Barbossa immediately realized that it was Jack's side that had made the noise.
Could it be that they found the Trident?
As a result, when he turned around again, the water ghost who had been standing in place disappeared inexplicably, and even the witch who had been guarding him was nowhere to be seen.
"Not good, Karina!"
The panicked one-legged pirate made the others wait here, and he turned and ran towards the two men who had gone deeper into the island.
The ghosts of the Silent Mary also sensed the change on the island, and Salazar made a quick decision as the captain.
He wants to possess Henry's body and snatch the Trident with Jack and the others.
The first mate hurriedly persuaded: "Captain, you know how dangerous it is, don't go!" ”
Another ghost with a position spoke, "He has no choice. ”
The first mate pushed the ghost away, and then persuaded: "Captain, there must be another way, once you are possessed and alive, there is no turning back." ”
"You'll be trapped in his body forever!"
His words made Salazar, who was pacing back and forth, determined: "The Trident can free me." ”
Then Captain Ghost walked up to Henry and smiled grimly, "Pike and Sparrow's time is coming. ”
On Jack's side, under the urging of the powerful power of the trident, the sea was divided into two, and a trench tens of meters wide and 100 meters long appeared in the middle.
On the reef in the deepest part of the trench is a trident that glows golden.
The target was already there, and Captain Jack immediately grabbed Karina, slid down the ramp into the trench, and ran towards the reef where the Trident was.
But at the last ten meters, the captain suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Jack ——!"
He stopped and subconsciously replied, "Who called me?" ”
Possessed, Henry jumped down from a huge reef in an instant and slashed at the captain.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Jack hurriedly rolled short to dodge the blow, and got up to look at the attacking enemy.
"Henry?"
"Hello, Sparrow." Captain Ghost's strange tone appeared in Henry's mouth.
Looking at the boy's pale face and the black cracks on his face, the clever Jack immediately knew why this was and admonished the girl, "Be careful, Henry should be possessed." ”
Karina, who also understood, nodded.
Salazar, who had no intention of hiding his identity, sneered and rushed at Jack with his knife raised.
With Captain Jack's panicked shouts, Karina took the opportunity to leave the battlefield and run towards the trident.
Unbeknownst to him, he had just run out a few steps when he was stopped by a strange bald woman: "I'm sorry, Miss Karina. ”
"My master wants you to wait here for a while."
