Chapter 10 Not all rings are inhabited by grandfathers
The sun is setting on the sea level, and the dark night is approaching, but the battle at sea has just begun.
Even though the sailors had tried their best, the speed of the merchant ship was still not comparable to that of the pirate ship, and after the continuous firing of the trebuchet, the sails of the merchant ship were finally broken by the stone projectiles, and the entire hull suddenly lost control.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the pirate ships behind them sped up, and before the two ships approached side by side, the vicious pirates grabbed the sail ropes, jumped over the side of the ship with a cruel smile, and slashed brutally with their scimitars, cutting down a dozen sailors in the blink of an eye, and the flowing blood stained the deck red.
"Well done, in ten minutes, I'm going to see a ship with only dead men. The pirate leader, who stood on the mast and commanded, smiled with satisfaction, and the shrill laughter that drifted in the wind was like metal rubbing against glass.
"Who is that guy?" Lin Taiping picked up the lookout and looked at it from afar, the pirate leader on his upper body was as thin as a bamboo pole, his dark skin was covered with olive oil, and his long neck looked extremely weird, like the head and neck of a vulture.
"That guy's nickname is Vulture, and he's a good fast swordsman and a henchman of the pirate captain Bloodeye. Christine's eyes widened and she thought about it, probably thinking that this was not enough to reflect the strength of the other party, and she added in the most accustomed way, "Also, he is worth two hundred gold coins." ”
This kind of introduction is really intuitive enough, Lin Taiping can only express his awe, but then again, the pirate captives a few days ago are only worth a few dozen gold coins, but this vulture Mr. is worth two hundred gold coins, which can already explain a lot of problems.
"Two hundred gold coins, you can buy a lot of food?" Tulu didn't care so much, he was so excited that his eyes were red, "Lin, what are you waiting for, we'll rush over now, turn these guys into gold coins, and rob that merchant ship by the way." ”
"Good idea!" Lin Taiping raised his hands and feet in agreement, "However, it seems that we don't have to go over, because those guys are already ready to come to the door in person...... Be careful!"
Before the words could be spoken, the pirate ship had already noticed the anomaly, and quickly turned its bow, and with the sound of a sharp horn, the dilapidated trebuchet was launched again, and a huge stone projectile roared and smashed into the vicinity of the Black Pearl, stirring up a monstrous white wave.
"Rush over and get ready for broadboarding. Lin Taiping immediately made a wise decision, this is what he learned in the game of great navigation, if your long-range firepower is far inferior to the enemy, then rely on the number of people to fight in groups.
In fact, Christine was already doing just that, and under her skillful control, the Black Pearl quickly turned around, narrowly dodged a stone bullet, and took advantage of the wind to move at high speed, roaring into the pirate ship in the distance.
In just a moment, the Black Pearl narrowed the distance to within a thousand meters, and the minotaurs, all covered in black robes, couldn't wait for the two ships to catch up, and they were going to give the pirates a big surprise.
But the pirates were clearly smarter than they thought, and the vultures twisted their long necks, and the corners of their mouths suddenly appeared a sinister grin: "Broadside, stupid fellow, I don't know why you have such courage, but for the sake of insurance, I will not give you this chance." ”
Under his command, the pirate ship immediately rolled out its sails and retreated, outpacing the Black Pearl by a fraction of its speed, and almost at the same time, several pirates rushed to the stern, exposing a larger trebuchet to the air as large pieces of canvas were torn off.
"Damn! two trebuchets?" Lin Taiping and Christine glanced at each other, and suddenly realized that the situation was not good, and Christine immediately turned the rudder frantically, trying to turn the Black Pearl around.
But it was too late to get rid of it, the two trebuchets had already begun to staggered fire, and the huge stone projectiles continued to roar and smash heavily on both sides of the Black Pearl, and after several consecutive misses, a stone projectile finally locked onto the target, and fell from the sky with a terrible shadow!
"Be careful!" Lin Taiping let out a low cry, suddenly grabbed Christine and pulled it aside, and almost at the same time, hundreds of pounds of stone bullets fell heavily, instantly smashing through a big hole in the deck, and even the hull of the ship was shaking violently.
Under this huge inertia, Christine's whole person rushed over, and after a soft bang, the two of them suddenly had an intimate hug, and they could even feel each other's burning breathing, and the worst thing was that because of the subconscious push up, Lin Taiping's two hands happened to be on the ...... Well, it's soft, isn't it?
In a matter of seconds, Christine's pretty face turned red, like a volcano about to erupt, but before she could go away, there was another sharp whistling in the air, and another stone bullet fell with ferocity.
I love this stone bullet! Lin Taiping was moved to tears, and suddenly jumped back a few steps, but at this moment, the stone bullet had already hit the side of the ship, and the Black Pearl suddenly tilted uncontrollably.
Unable to control the balance at all, Lin Taiping involuntarily flew out upside down, looking at a sharp wooden board close in front of him, he subconsciously reached out to block it, and the fireball ring on his hand was suddenly dented by the wooden board, and the ruby on the ring was completely shattered.
"My ring!" Lin Taiping couldn't help but feel heartache, but at this time, the shattered ring suddenly burst out with dazzling red light, completely enveloping him.
Incredibly, at the next moment, when he opened his eyes with difficulty, he found that he had already left the battlefield and was standing alone.
"Uh...... Who can sue me, what the hell is this place?"
In front of him, a huge sacred temple stood majestically, with a black altar burning with raging flames in the center, and standing on the altar and looking up, he could see dozens of towering statues of gods, shrouded in silver-white light, with a terrifying coercion that overlooked all beings, as if it could crush the entire world into dust.
"Divine Temple, Sacrifice?" In the face of this indescribable sense of coercion, Lin Taiping almost felt difficult to breathe, and just as he tried his best to resist this coercion, a low but empty huge voice suddenly resounded throughout the hall.
"Mortal, kneel before the gods and offer your sacrifice with reverence, and you will be blessed by the gods!"
Even though he was in shock, Lin Taiping couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, don't be kidding, even if there are really gods in this world, they are just some kind of powerful being, not to mention that this powerful existence may have long been out of this world, otherwise the minotaur who believes in the god of darkness would not be so down.
In fact, as he had expected, even if he had not seen him kneel reverently, the voice was still not angry, it was still repeated without emotion and emptiness.
"Mortal, kneel before the gods and offer your sacrifice with reverence, and you will be blessed by the gods!"
This time, when he heard this sentence again, Lin Taiping's heart moved, so in the next moment, he immediately looked up thoughtfully and asked, "Excuse me, what is the sacrifice I want to offer, and what can I get?"
Not angry at his offense, the voice was silent for a moment, and replied again without emotion: "The magic crystal and the magic core are the most satisfying sacrifices of the gods, and the more you give, the more blessings you will receive." ”
So it was, Lin Taiping faintly felt that he had caught something, so after a few minutes of thinking, he immediately tried to take out six magic crystals, which were the trophies offered by the pirate captives "on their own initiative", although the grade was not high, but it could still be sold for five or six hundred gold coins in the market.
"Well, I hope you don't let me down. Taking a long breath, he picked up the six magic crystals and gently threw them into the blazing altar flames.
The blazing flames, as if with a strange power, turned the magic crystal into nothing in an instant, but after a moment of silence, the voice sounded again-
"You have made sacrifices to the gods, and the gods have expressed their satisfaction with your sacrifice and have blessed you with the blessings of the god of the sea...... Starting immediately, you'll gain the Talent Aura of Nautical Mastery, which lasts for three days. ”
Before the words fell, among the statues of the gods standing above, the statue of the sea god holding the trident aloft alof, suddenly burst out with a dazzling bright light, enveloping the entire altar.
Shrouded in this strong light, Lin Taiping only felt that his whole body was warm, and countless runes were hovering in his mind like birds, and when he suddenly woke up, he found that he had already left the temple and was standing on the broken deck again.
"Boss, what are you doing in a daze?" Completely unaware of what had just happened, Christine grabbed him and shouted loudly, but at this moment, two stone bullets had already whizzed one after another, and the sharp sound of breaking the wind was so sharp that it was piercing.
With a deep gasp, Christine immediately turned the rudder frantically, trying to get the Black Pearl out of the way, but this was useless, the speed of the two stone projectiles was too fast, so fast that even if she could dodge one, it would be too late to dodge it......
"Let me come!" Lin Taiping pushed her away, directly grabbed the rudder that was still rotating, turned sharply to the left, and then paused slightly, and flipped back again.
In the creaking sound, the rudder seemed to be about to shatter, but under this rude control, the Black Pearl actually deflected the bow to the right, and then the hull shook violently, and it moved a few meters to the left very strangely.
Almost at the same time, the first stone projectile slammed down, grazing the right side of the Black Pearl, and just a few seconds later, the second stone projectile also roared, hitting the surface of the sea on the left side of the Black Pearl, stirring up a large wave of water.
You know, even a second of slowness would have crushed the poor Black Pearl, but this very irregular slight rotation allowed it to dodge the stone bullet strike, and the paint on the side of the ship was not scratched.
Seeing this strange scene, the vulture almost fell off the mast, and its long neck was almost twisted, "How is this possible, even the most skilled pirate captain can't do it...... Damn, is that guy Lady Luck's illegitimate son?"
"Boss, are you the illegitimate son of Lady Luck?" In fact, Christine had the same question, "Wait, if I'm not mistaken, boss, you don't seem to know anything about sailing?"
"I'm through now, can't I?" Lin Taiping replied with a smile, completely ignoring the other party's stunned gaze.
At this moment, when his hands touched the rudder, he immediately felt like he was connected by blood, as if the Black Pearl had suddenly taken on life, and it was completely integrated with his body, and every move was so easy and natural.
"Nautical mastery?talent aura?" Touching his chin leisurely, he turned his head to look at the stupid Christine, eight white teeth shining in the setting sun.
"Well, dear Christine, have you ever danced a tango...... I mean, jump with a boat!"
