Chapter Seventy-One: Hitting the Wall
Looking at the pirate ship that gradually appeared in the field of vision, Qiu He knew that the worst was encountered by them.
Judging from the current altitude, there is a high chance that they and the pirate ship from the North Sea next to them will reach the top of the upside-down mountain at the same time.
Luckily, the two boats were in adjacent canals rather than opposite canals, so there was some reaction time, and if you adjusted your speed and angle well, you might be able to avoid colliding.
Even if it hits in the end, it will only be bruised at most due to the early adjustment, and as long as the boat is hard enough, maybe the two boats will be able to enter the descending canal side by side.
However, Qiu He didn't want to risk his life on such an unnecessary matter, he took a few steps forward, reached the side of the boat, and half-crouched down.
"Ah, it's going to crash, help!"
"Oh no, what should I do!"
"Mickey, hurry up and adjust the direction of sailing, everyone hurry up and lower the sails to slow down."
……
The pirates who realized it later made a fuss on the deck, Qiu He didn't want to pay attention to it, but they wanted to change the speed and direction of the voyage, which Qiu He couldn't bear.
The boat finally stabilized, but what if it suddenly changed direction or slowed down, hitting the rocks on both sides.
"Mickey, keep the course you are on, everyone, don't move."
The skill was activated, and a strengthened version of the viper cannon was successfully set up, learning from the previous experience, Qiu He used mechanical improvement skills to comprehensively strengthen the viper cannon, and only compressed half of the cannonballs, so that the power of the firing was within the range that the cannon barrel could bear.
Most of the hull of the North Sea Pirate Ship appeared in view, and their cannon window had been opened, and the gun muzzle was facing Qiu He and them, and it seemed that the captain of that ship had the same idea as Qiu He.
It's a pity that they were a step late.
The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers. A cannonball flew out of the barrel of the Viper cannon at breakneck speed, hitting the gun window of the opposite ship, pushing open the hull and disintegrating the opponent's means of attack.
The second shot Qiu He deliberately hit the bottom deck of the mast, so that the mast only tilted instead of breaking directly. The pirate ship on the opposite side was directly carried out of its original channel by the deflected sails, crashed into the red rocks next to the canal, and fell apart and sank into the water.
"Oh, it worked."
"Yay!"
……
To the cheers of the pirates, Qiu He and his ship passed the top of the upside-down hill, smoothly fell into the descending canal, and sailed under the clouds, as long as they passed through the clouds, they reached the Twin Capes, where the great voyage began.
However, the pirates, who were busy cheering, did not hear the roar under the clouds, perhaps they did, but they did not know what it meant.
"Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular."
Qiu He leisurely added the buff of 'aerial shooting' to himself, and then stuffed Xiaojin into his arms, moving his hands and feet to avoid exercise cramps for a while.
The ship passed through the clouds at an unstoppable speed, and a dark blue 'wall' in the middle of the sea appeared in front of them.
These pirates don't know, but Qiu He knows very well that this wall is actually the island whale Rab.
"What's that?"
"Turn fast, slow down."
……
Under the horrified gaze of everyone on board, the ship got closer and closer to the 'wall'.
With the current speed of the ship and the distance from the 'wall', no matter how skilled the navigator is, it is impossible to dodge, unless a miracle happens, otherwise the ship's destruction and death are a sure thing.
And at this time, there is only one person on the ship who can cause a miracle. All the pirates on the deck set their eyes on Qiu He, who had just shown his might.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Qiu He smiled slightly and didn't say anything. But it was this confident smile that made everyone feel at ease.
In the expectant gaze of everyone, Qiu He jumped lightly, jumped on the top of the mast, and stared at the 'wall' in the distance without waves.
As the 'wall' approached, the pirates' mood became more and more nervous, but seeing the man standing at the top of the mast was like a reassuring pill, although they were nervous, everyone did not break down and make a fuss.
Seeing that the ship was about to hit the 'wall' in a few seconds at most, Qiu He finally moved in the eyes of everyone praying.
Qiu He kicked hard under his feet, and with the blessing of the aerial shooting buff, he jumped more than ten meters high, jumped onto the 'wall', that is, the whale Rab, and then rushed up with his hands and feet and jumped while crawling.
When the pirates on the ship were stunned, the ship smoothly crashed into Rab, scattered into pieces, and was swept into the sea by the undercurrent.
Leo and the others were swept up in the turbulent current, and Qiu He estimated that no one would survive.
In fact, as long as Qiu He told Mickey earlier that there was something blocking the road here, this group of pirates should have survived, but Qiu He had never had such an idea.
From the beginning, Qiu He only saved himself, never thought about saving them, if they could live safely until Qiu He got off the boat, Qiu He would keep his promise not to kill them.
But there is a way to kill them without making a move, of course Qiu He will not let it go, this group of pirates is more comfortable dead than alive.
Before Rab sank to the bottom of the sea and began to hit the Red Earth Continent, Qiu He jumped again and again and landed on the shore on the side.
Standing on the shore and looking at it, I really felt the huge size of Rab, and with such a figure, it was easy to block the entire canal.
Rab's movements are irregular, whether he floats on the surface of the sea to block the road or dives into the sea and hits the wall, it all depends on his mood.
Over the years, many pirates who dreamed of conquering the Great Voyage have died here in traffic accidents caused by it.
It is estimated that this is also the reason why this is the only entrance to the great shipping route from the four seas, but the navy did not send troops to block this road.
If the navy sends troops to block here, although it can solve a group of pirates from all over the world here, it will also cause the navy to suffer a lot of casualties.
And with this whale, you don't have to worry, you don't have to feed it, you don't have to spend money, you can kill some pirates from all over the world without doing anything, what a good deal.
Moreover, the navy does not go from here on the great voyage, even if this whale keeps blocking the canal, it has nothing to do with them, as long as the news of the canal blocking is not leaked.
"Aren't you going to save your buddy?"
A human voice suddenly came from behind him, but Qiu He was not surprised.
In fact, Qiu He noticed this person since he first came ashore, but he just focused on seeing Rab, and didn't care about this person for a while.
Now that people take the initiative to say hello, of course Qiu He will not slack off, and turned to look over.
It was a very old but fashionably dressed old man, with a bony look of considerable proportion, most notably his split white beard and bald head.
In the place of Twin Capes, at this age and dress, his identity is already very clear.
