Chapter 293: The Triangle of Death
Hehe......
Hehehe......
Hahaha......
As the pirate captain's laughter gradually amplified in front of him, the pirates wrapped in turbans around him began to laugh.
Instantly retracting his smile, the one-eyed pirate captain pinched Jiang Linxian's neck with a dull-skinned palm, and squinted his eyes to look him up and down.
"Great Captain, why are you the only pirate?"
Jiang Linxian's arm trembled slightly, and his breathing, which was originally a little rapid, gradually stabilized.
It's hard to get your hands dirty right now, there are too many of these pirates.
You can only deal with it first, unless you are cornered, it is better not to do it.
After Jiang Linxian figured it out, his dark eyes stared at the dark-skinned pirate captain's room in front of him like sharp swords, gritted his teeth and said, "My crew is dead!" β
"On the way to sail, we encountered hidden reefs, as well as a group of strange monsters." Jiang Linxian embellished the situation of appearing on the freighter on the first day and the incident of coming to this small island.
The pirate captain, who had listened to the narration, gently blew his curly black beard, which had a sparkling sheen under the scorching sun.
"Your experience sounds fantastical, but I still need time to confirm." The pirate captain's gloomy gaze moved to Jiang Linxian's slightly trembling arm and sneered.
"But I'm curious, are you so scared that you're starting to tremble?"
He grabbed one of Jiang Linxian's arms and looked at it inadvertently.
I saw that on Jiang Linxian's arm, there was a black diagram of a trident.
The pirate captain stared, raised his head reluctantly, and looked at Jiang Linxian in front of him: "The place you went to is the Triangle of Death?" β
Triangle of Death?
Jiang Linxian didn't know what place it was, but he only knew that he had been drifting on the sailboat for two days before he came here.
Jiang Linxian couldn't answer this question.
So he didn't answer, just looked indifferently at the pirate captain in front of him.
However, the pirate captain in front of him didn't seem to care, he pushed Jiang Linxian away with all his might, and shouted to the pirate members around him: "Tie up this lone pirate first, wait for the ship to be repaired, and put him on the ship." β
Several pirates came out and tied Jiang Linxian up with a thick linen rope.
And put a pirate to guard there.
Jiang Linxian leaned against the trunk of a coconut tree, closing his eyes and resting.
What did the pirate captain mean by the triangle of death?
What is there special there?
Also, what's going on with the diagram of the trident on his arm?
He remembered that he didn't have this picture yesterday, right?
Did it just appear?
All kinds of doubts made Jiang Linxian unknown.
But the most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the current predicament?
Directly use ghost power to break free and escape? Or do you want to kill all sides with ghost power?
Neither seems to work, though.
There is nowhere to escape, this island is extremely small, it only takes half an hour to run around the sea, and if you use force, these pirates are quite numerous, and their strength is also terrifying.
And that pirate captain seems to be in the late nightmare level, and it is not easy to deal with.
Even if you summon the Nine-Tailed Ghost Fox, it will appear very passive.
Now there is only one last way, and that is to integrate into them, in order to get a glimmer of life.
But this road is also very difficult.
After all, the pirate captain wasn't a vegetarian at first sight.
Jiang Linxian shook his head, feeling very ridiculous.
How could a pirate be vegan? They didn't stab themselves now, they should all be grateful to Dade and be incense on the Qingming Festival.
"It's a little difficult...... Jiang Linxian thought secretly.
But now they didn't directly kill themselves, presumably there must be another reason.
While thinking about it, the pirate captain held a bottle of wine in his hand and staggered to Jiang Linxian.
He pointed with his hand and said with a smile: "This captain's clothes are very good, very chic." β
"You pick it up for me." The captain instructed the pirate members on the side.
The pirate member immediately responded and directly took off Jiang Linxian's clothes.
"Captain, do you want it next?" The pirate looked at Jiang Linxian's lower body and hesitated.
"No need." The captain took Jiang Linxian's clothes, glanced at Jiang Linxian, and turned his head to leave.
"Give him a change of our clothes."
"The old ones will do."
The voice sounded behind the captain, his back, fading away.
"Yes! Captain! The pirate members responded, and immediately complied.
It was getting dark, and the pirates had no intention of returning to the pirate ship.
At night, a row of bonfires are lit on the island's sandy beach to illuminate the island's shoreline.
The fierce pirates cheered around the campfire.
In the hands of each pirate, a bottle of unknown spirits is held, and as he drinks, he screams.
The grilled meat smeared with spices drips with mouth-watering oil droplets and the aroma of birds wafts through the sea breeze.
Some pirates danced and laughed around the campfire, while others held guitars and played leisurely.
There was also a group of pirates sitting in groups of three or five, shaking dice made of black incense wood and gambling to their heart's content.
The pirates all over the beach are celebrating the abundance of supplies that have been obtained today.
After the pirate next to Jiang Linxian changed Jiang Linxian into a shabby and leaky pirate suit, he took a bottle of wine and drank it.
His eyes looked at the beach not far away, and he laughed dryly as he watched, and even if he wasn't involved, he could feel the lively and cheerful atmosphere.
Half of a bottle of wine was drunk, the pirate grabbed Jiang Linxian's three-cornered hat and put it on his head, the gray Tong Kong looked at Jiang Linxian on the side, and said, "Look at your appearance, you don't look like a pirate." β
"Savor the tender meat."
"What pirate would be like you?"
"You look like a member of the nobility."
"I don't approve of the captain not throwing you into the sea to feed the fish."
Jiang Linxian: "......"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Linxian asked curiously, "What does the death triangle that the captain just said mean?" β
"Triangle of Death?" The pirate gave him a suspicious look, and his eyes became a little serious: "The Triangle of Death is a sea area in the Sea of Chaos. β
"It is rumored that a deep-sea beast raised by the ghost god of the sea, Natis, is sleeping in the deep sea here, and the four huge tentacles of the giant beast stick out of the water, forming four huge golden reefs, which hang above the sea, shining like gold."
"And when several rampant pirate ships passed by, they were attracted by these four huge golden reefs, thinking that they were treasures of the sea."
"They ordered the crew to fire at the four golden reefs, breaking the four glowing golden reefs."
"It's just that after interrupting the third golden reef, the giant beast of the sea god Natis finally awakened."
"Natis also knew about this instantly, and she was very angry, and connected the three broken golden crippled reefs to form a triangular sea, so that those pirate ships had nowhere to escape, and commanded the behemoths of the sea bottom to swallow those ships."
After taking a sip of his wine, the pirate continued: "Since then, ships that have entered that triangular sea have rarely been able to come out again. β
"And the ships that came out by luck, those members, will soon have a trident emblem on their arms, and they can't be erased."
"I heard that the symbol of the trident is a curse, and it is also a warning to the crew of the sea god Natis who intrudes into the triangular sea."
"But every cursed creature will not live for more than a year."
"A year later, you will die unexpectedly."
"Over time, that place became known as the Triangle of Death."
"Neither the creatures that enter it, nor the creatures that can get out of it, can't escape death."
After saying this, the pirate took another sip of his wine.
At that moment, one of the pirates on the beach came up to him with a barbecue, handed it to him, and then turned away.
He came here to deliver food.
After the latter took it, he began to eat heavily, not caring whether Jiang Linxian on the side was hungry or not.
However, after listening to the pirate's story about the Triangle of Death, Jiang Linxian didn't have any appetite.
Originally, he thought that this copy would be able to survive for a while, but as soon as the two-forced copy system was opened, he fell into a desperate situation?
It seems that he came out of the Triangle of Death inexplicably, which is a kind of luck.
Jiang Linxian lowered his head and confirmed the trident on his arm again.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
He died inexplicably a year later, but it wasn't fun at all.
Jiang Linxian's face turned pale, turned his head to look at the pirate, and continued to ask, "Is there any way to lift this curse?" β
"There's no way." The pirate shook his head, he took the tricorne hat that was taken off Jiang Linxian's head, patted Jiang Linxian's face hard, and laughed strangely: "You just wait for death." β
[He lied to you]
[Although Natis created the Triangle of Death, the trident on your arm has nothing to do with the curse. γ
[He represents that you can freely enter and exit the Triangle of Death, and is the person who is the ghost god of the sea, Natis]
[The creatures that can emerge from the Triangle of Death are all creatures approved by the sea ghost god Natis.] γ
Hearing the prompt, Jiang Linxian couldn't help but be stunned.
The situation that the prompt says is the exact opposite of what the pirate said.
It seems that this pirate is a 10,000-year-old sixth.
Jiang Linxian was almost deceived by him.
"I'm still too real, too honest, and haven't experienced any big storms." Jiang Linxian was reflecting on himself carefully: "I actually believed the words of a ghost pirate. β
"You'll have to keep an eye on it later."
However, Jiang Linxian can't be blamed for being fooled, it can only be said that the story told by this pirate is closely related to the trident on his arm, and he has no knowledge of this, so he takes it seriously.
Now, after the prompt, he came to his senses.
However, the captain must have kept him for an important reason.
Jiang Linxian immediately thought that he would ask for the detailed reason for the trident mark on his arm.
But this trident, Jiang Linxian himself didn't know how it was formed.
After learning that he was in no other danger, Jiang Linxian was a little relieved.
The bonfires on the beach continue.
It lasted until late at night.
The campfire was still burning, but the pirates began to find a place to lie down and rest.
Jiang Linxian sat under the coconut tree and soon heard their snoring.
The pirate beside Jiang Linxian didn't seem to be able to resist the drowsiness, leaning against the trunk of the tree, calming his head and snoring.
Jiang Linxian summoned the Soul Ghost Stick through the system inventory and began to cut the rope.
Maybe while they're asleep, you can steal a boat on their beach and leave in the dark.
Although the vast sea is terrifying, it may be even more dangerous here.
Jiang Linxian used the soul ghost stick to completely cut the rope with thick fingers, put away the stick, and used his hands to pick up the rope on his body, preparing to get up and leave.
At this moment, the muzzle of a flintlock pistol, at some point, hit the back of his head.
Jiang Linxian froze when he got up, feeling the danger coming from behind.
"Captain, are you trying to escape?"
A rough voice, with a sneering smile, came from behind Jiang Linxian.
Jiang Linxian slowly turned his head and looked behind him.
Captain Steve's eyes were burning at the moment, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Over his shoulder, the one-eyed parrot was screaming, "Kill him!" Kill him! Kill him! β
Steve took a bite of a pipe in his mouth and exhaled lightly, and he raised the flintlock pistol head with his wrist, motioning for Jiang Linxian to stand up.
Jiang Linxian looked serious and stood up as Steve asked.
As he stood up, he did not forget to explain: "I saw that my brothers were all asleep, and I thought that it would still be a little cold when the sea breeze blew on me this night, so I broke free from the rope and wanted to light a bonfire for them. β
"Huh." The treacherous and cunning Steve naturally wouldn't believe Jiang Linxian's nonsense.
He kicked the crew members who were still asleep, and continued to ask Jiang Linxian, "I forgot to ask what your name is?" Answer truthfully. β
γDing! Reminder for triggering quests: In the mysterious Sea of Chaos, try not to use your real name to avoid unnecessary trouble after the quest ends. γ
"Jack." Jiang Linxian thought for a while, and felt that there was really no need to use his own name: "Jack Cao Mengde"
"Jack?" Steve frowned and pulled out his black pipe, "I've heard a lot of stinky rats named Jack. β
"You're going to have the same name as those stinky rats?"
"Maybe they stole my name." Jiang Linxian said.
The stinky rats that Stephen is talking about should be those human players who participate in the Sea of Chaos dungeon.
Maybe the reason they got the name Jack was because they watched some pirate movie.....
However, Jiang Linxian was different from them, he came up with this name after looking at a certain light warrior who could put his hands together and emit lasers......
The pirate who was kicked in the stomach by Steve woke up from his sleep, and when he saw the captain holding a gun against Jiang Linxian's head, he stood up directly from the bunker.
"Captain...... I ......" The crew stood straight, nervous, and their faces frightened.
Steve just gave him a cold glance and didn't say anything else.
He looked at Jiang Linxian and continued to ask, "Do you know why I didn't kill you?" β
Jiang Linxian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you and I are both captains, and we cherish each other?" β
Naturally, he guessed that the reason why Steve didn't kill him was because of the trident on his arm.
But he can't admit it himself.
He had to act like he didn't know anything about the Trident.
It's not a good thing to be too smart.
At the very least, it was best for Steve to feel like he could handle himself.
Let him let his guard down a bit.
It's also his only chance to live.
