Chapter 302: Ice Dilemma
"Get on board first." Steve hurriedly said.
Unknown danger looms, and they don't know when they will be attacked by monsters hiding in the black fog.
The rest of the crew did not dare to relax and immediately climbed onto the Explorer ship in front of them.
The ship is large and well preserved.
Steve and the rest of the crew hop aboard the Explorer and begin searching for supplies on board.
The first task at the moment is to find some barrels of explosives and blow up all the bones piled up under the ship.
Only in this way can the ship break through the obstacles and go to sea smoothly.
Jiang Linxian's group of expeditionary pirates were lucky.
A number of barrels of explosives were found on the second floor of the Explorer.
In addition, there are many sealed barrels and dry goods.
"It seems that the supplies are quite abundant." Aegis chuckled and loaded the barrel of explosives and went straight to the deck.
Several other members also removed all the barrels of explosives.
They tied several barrels of explosives together and threw them on the pile of bones on the bow of the Explorer.
Steve raised a spear and fired at the bound powder keg.
Bang!
οΌ
A violent thud rang out over the bone-strewn island.
The explosive barrel blasts all the bones in front of it.
The Explorer's hull began to pour downward, and the entire ship began to displace.
Soon, the whole ship rowed into the sea, causing a wave to stir up waves in the dark inky sea.
"Roll up the winch, put away the rope, and tighten the sail rope." Steve took control of the Explorer and shouted loudly.
The violent explosion of gunpowder just now was very loud.
The sea monster hidden in the black fog must have been enraged.
A giant tentacle descends from the sky and plunges directly into the Lost Island, which is a collection of bones.
A large number of skeletons were splattered everywhere, and shriveled corpses flew everywhere.
The Explorer is extremely fast and smooth.
The tentacles sticking out of the sea silently grasped the bottom of the explorer, but they could not stop the sea overlord in the slightest.
The sound of the beast's teeth sounded above the heads of Jiang Linxian and the others, and all the members looked at the black mist above their heads.
A pair of giant red lantern-like eyes were hidden in the black mist.
As big as a bullfight.
Although Russell, the pirates of the pirate city, had seen a lot of strange and ghostly things, but it was the first time they had seen such huge eyes.
How terrifying it would be if all the monsters in the black fog were revealed in the black mist.
All the members held their breath at the moment, not daring to speak.
I can only pray in my heart that the giant sea monster in front of me will not attack.
Stop~~~
Bang!
A black shadow quickly fell from the sky and smashed into the deck of the Explorer.
With its deck intact, the Explorer is one of the dominant seas.
The members were amazed and moved their gaze to the rapidly falling black shadow.
It's a bloody skeleton, and it's fresh.
The bones were connected with some veins and flesh.
The skeleton fell from the sky and smashed on the deck, falling with a cloud of black blood.
"Oh my God!"
"It's ...... Mark's clothes! Little Billy was shocked and began to shake hands and pray.
The huge unknown monster gave them an inexplicable fear.
The other members also saw Markle's clothes clearly, and their hearts were a little concerned.
This kind of monster, is it really something they can deal with?
Drip......
DiDi ......
Didi ......
In the sky with no end in sight, drops of huge liquid pierced through the black mist and hit the deck.
A few more drops fell on the heads and shoulders of Aegis and Russell.
The two unfortunate crew members trembled, and both reached out to touch the viscous liquid that had fallen, shook it vigorously, and shouted in horror: "What the hell is this? β
Between the two of them speaking, a huge mouth slowly moved from the top of the thick black mist.
A large mouth with dense sharp fangs.
Its big mouth seemed to be able to swallow an entire ship in one gulp.
And the viscous liquid dripped from this huge mouth.
"Full speed ahead!" Steve shouted, without hesitation.
The sudden turn of events shocked the crew of the Explorer and immediately went into action.
They intensified their efforts to force the speed of the sea vessels to become faster.
It's just that a giant sea ship like the Explorer, after all, there are too few members of them to give full play to the huge advantages of the Explorer.
Steve was glad to be at the helm of the ship.
All the way to the voyage, their sea ship did not encounter a reef.
The ride is also very smooth.
And the giant monster, as if it hadn't caught up, watched as the Explorer sailed out of the Lost Island and disappeared into the black fog.
This scene made the surrounding crew feel relieved, but also happy.
They didn't know why the giant monster hadn't attacked them, but being able to escape was the best outcome.
And Steve, who was at the helm, couldn't help but look at Jiang Linxian who was standing on the deck.
Perhaps this human, who was swept up by the ghost god of the sea, Natis, brought them good luck.
As time passed, an hour's sailing, the Explorer ship finally came out of the black fog.
Jiang Linxian and the others originally wanted to cheer.
But the scene on the surface of the sea made them resist the urge again.
The huge sea area is covered with ice floes and icebergs.
It was snowing in the sky.
Jiang Linxian instantly felt that his body was a little unbearable.
"Captain Steve, how does it feel like we've reached an uncharted sea." Helena finally found some warm padded jackets from the explorer's room and draped them over her body, feeling a lot better.
The same goes for the other members.
"This should be the northwest end of the Sea of Chaos, and it stands to reason that after the Lost Island came out, it shouldn't have come to such a place." Although Aegis is emaciated, he knows a lot.
"Maybe the Lost Island has some kind of traversal function." Steve bit his pipe and said calmly, "I've heard of the Sea of Chaos having such an area that can teleport thousands of miles before, but I didn't expect the Lost Island to have such a function. β
"I don't think so." Jiang Linxian said.
The reason why he felt strange was because the quest was not prompted to be completed.
If you have indeed left the Lost Island, then the quest should prompt completion.
"What to say." Steve looked at Jiang Linxian and asked, "Tell me what you think." β
"Captain Steve, how much do you know about Lost Island?" Jiang Linxian asked, wanting to get some information from him.
"I don't know much about the Lost Island, and the ships that have entered it have not yet been able to come out." "Like the Triangle of Death, they're a place that pirates and sea explorers fear a lot," Steve said solemnly. β
"Speaking of which, Lost Island is even more mysterious, because it is located in a place that few seafaring explorers know, and I would not have known how to get to it without seeing the witch."
Jiang Linxian retracted his gaze, his face expressionless.
"It seems that the Lost Island is too mysterious for us."
Jiang Linxian spoke: "But I think we may still be in the sea area of the Lost Island. β
"Maybe haven't left yet."
Jiang Linxian's words were like an ice thorn in the ears of the other members, piercing their nerves.
The warm clothes on their bodies were tightened by their hands.
"Why do you say that?" Steve's expression became wary.
"Intuition." Jiang Linxian said.
He couldn't say anything about the quest, so he had to explain it like this.
As for whether these ghosts believe it or not, it depends on their own thoughts.
Helena looked at Jiang Linxian's eyes, becoming more and more tender, and her possessiveness rose sharply: "I really like you more and more, Jack." β
Jiang Linxian looked at the ice floe on the surface of the sea.
Fragments of ice passed slowly through his line of sight, and the snow in the sky had no intention of stopping.
They drove all day in this extremely cold place, as if there was no end.
The Explorer sailed extremely fast, but it did not sail out of this icy and snowy sea.
Jiang Linxian stood on top of the mast beam, his entire body covered with snow.
He looked at the icebergs that disappeared in front of his eyes in the distance, and his brow furrowed.
"Have you noticed this place, we have been here?" Jiang Linxian said suddenly.
The other members, who were already in a state of flux, instantly sobered up, and they walked to the railing of the hull to observe, looking slightly uneasy.
"Sort of." Aegis said with his gaze retracted.
Helena tightened the padded jacket on her body again and exhaled a white breath: "It's the first time I've encountered such a thing. β
"Captain Steve, didn't you drive the ship seriously!"
Although the temperature outside is extremely cold, Steve, who is an immortal, does not feel much cold.
Even the parrot on his shoulder is not afraid of the cold.
"Always moving forward." Steve had already figured out about this situation.
It's just that he didn't say it, because he was afraid that if he said it, it would make the crew on the ship have a nervous breakdown.
So he surveyed his surroundings and looked for an exit to the bitterly cold sea.
It's just that he tried several times, and all of them failed.
"Jack, do you have a way?" Aegis didn't know if it was because of the cold or because he was scared, and when he said it, he felt like he was about to freeze: "I don't think we can last long." β
He looked at Steve, who looked at him with a calm demeanor, his teeth chattering: "Maybe this explorer will end up with only Steve and his damn parrot." β
The parrot on Steve's shoulder suddenly waved its wings, turned its head to stare at Aegis, and croaked, "Freeze you to death!" Freeze you! Freeze you! β
Bang!
The parrot's head fell in response.
Its body was like a block of ice, broken into pieces.
Jiang Linxian put the flintlock pistol into his padded jacket and said, "It's really a parrot that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead." β
At this time, he can only use Steve's parrot to vent his unhappiness.
Steve didn't embarrass Jiang Linxian's behavior, so he was not surprised.
Jiang Linxian retracted his gaze and began to observe the surrounding scene through the night child.
Mountains slipped away from his sight.
However, after observing for a long time, he did not see any clues.
After all, there are no hints or guidelines here.
Thinking of something, Jiang Linxian took out the Hidden Mirror.
The surrounding scene is revealed in the Hidden Mirror.
The scene in the mirror changes as the Explorer moves.
Although the prop in his hand is very easy to use, it also has limitations, that is, the scope of viewing is not large.
Therefore, Jiang Linxian could only stare at the Hidden Mirror to see what would happen to the scene.
The other members didn't know what Jiang Linxian was looking at in the mirror, but they didn't dare to disturb it easily.
I can only silently hug my body and curl up together.
As the surrounding scenery kept changing, Jiang Linxian finally saw a huge red area on the Hidden Mirror.
It shows an ice building, just at the turn of the course.
Jiang Linxian fumbled in the inventory for a moment and took out a mirror that he had never usedβthe Mirror of Truth.
γ
This mirror can see things as they really are, but they can only be used once a day.
Jiang Linxian couldn't care about so much at the moment, so he took out the Mirror of Truth and shone it on the iceberg that appeared in the red area of the Hidden Mirror.
The true sight of the iceberg suddenly appeared on the mirror of reality.
The clear blue sea shows on this iceberg, and it seems that if you can escape from this iceberg as long as you drive towards it.
Jiang Lin got up suddenly, grabbed the sail lock and flew down, landing steadily beside Steve.
"Steve! Head to the ice in front of us and we'll be able to get out! Jiang Linxian pointed to the ever-growing ice in front of him and shouted to Steve.
"Huh?" Steve was not annoyed by Jiang Linxian for not calling him captain this time, so he could only confirm again and again with a blank face: "Are you sure?" β
"Pretty sure!" Jiang Linxian said that if he wasn't completely sure, he would definitely not do such a crazy thing.
The other members were shocked when they heard Jiang Linxian's words.
"Captain Jack, forgive me for taking the liberty of saying more." Russell raised his head and said, "Are you already having a nervous breakdown to say such nonsense?" β
Little Billy immediately chimed in: "Captain Steve, don't listen to him, if it hits the iceberg directly, even if the Explorer will not be destroyed, there is a risk of running aground." β
"It's really hard for us to get out of here then."
"I think I can listen to Captain Jack." Helena said with a charming smile.
Those charming eyes, which were always full of emotion, were staring at Jiang Linxian charmingly, as if they were looking at their lover.
If it weren't for the ghosts around him who knew about this thorny rose in Pirate City, maybe they would have been deceived by her.
Steve smoked a cigarette and didn't say a word.
He's still in control of the rudder.
The Explorer was getting closer and closer to the ice.
Whether to hit the iceberg directly now, or to make a detour and continue along the narrow sea, is in his hands.
As the ice got closer, the other members also focused their eyes on Steve.
It wasn't until the Explorer hit the iceberg directly that the other opposing members shouted, "Steve! What are you doing? β
"You're going to kill all of our members!"
"Uh...... Sorry, I forgot. Steve was stunned for a moment, then looked back: "I was still thinking about whether to rush forward just now." β
"It doesn't look like there's a choice right now."
"You just did it on purpose!" Little Billy shouted, "You have an immortal body, but of course you can't die!" You want us all to die, you take the Explorer alone! β
As little Billy finished speaking, the explorer had already crashed into the iceberg.
But what they thought was destruction and stranding, did not happen.
The Explorer seemed to pass through an invisible layer of fog and sank directly into the iceberg.
The icy air around them suddenly vanished.
The salty sea water suddenly hit the face.
The warm air warmed the bodies of the crew on the Explorer.
The chill in the body was dispelled at this moment.
"Out of ...... It's out! Little Billy stared blankly at the endless sea and shouted instantly.
The gloom in the hearts of the other members was suddenly swept away.
Steve draws his flintlock pistol and shoots little Billy in the head.
The cotton hat on his head was instantly knocked away.
The latter was taken aback.
Steve looked at him with a sneer and reminded, "Next time you dare to talk nonsense and question the captain's decision, I'll beat your head into a sieve!" β
