"The bilge is well stocked and everything is working properly. ”

"The maneuver room and the whale oil thrusters on both sides are normal and ready to operate at any time. ”

"The sails and the wheelhouse are fine. ”

Gorman is responsible for the inventory of materials, Fu Ju is responsible for equipment maintenance and testing, and Xu Chu is responsible for sailing, this is Lu Jing's division of labor for the three of them, as for him......

"Set sail!"

Standing under the mast with his hands crossed and shouting, this is the role of Lu Jing.

The size of the Tidal Current, coupled with the previous modification on Anling Island, did not take much time to start, and it quickly sailed out of port with a low "Tu Tu ~" sound.

"When are you going to leave there?"

Cooperated with Gorman to tie the rope of the sail, Lu Jing turned her head to look at Gu Xiaoyin and the female mermaid beside her, and spoke.

"Half an hour later, the size of the ship we rented is on the large side, and if nothing else, it should attract the attention of the Blood Sail Pirates, and it will be very troublesome to let them board the ship and search around. ”

It is not for nothing that the ships that have left Muhammad Island in the past two days have been interrogated by the Bloodsail Pirates without exception.

As it turned out, the Bloodsail Pirates' name and hyena-like pirates were not to be underestimated, and although it was somewhat humiliating to have people board the ship to check such things, the expected conflict did not break out.

Of course, there is also a reason why the size of the fleet that went to sea in the past two days is only small and medium-sized, and the really powerful teams seem to be waiting for the boat that bids for the female mermaid to appear, intending to follow the ass and make a wave.

"Captain, there's a ship coming up!"

Not surprisingly, the Tide Stream sailed out of the port, and several nearby pirate ships directly surrounded it, while the Blood Sail Pirate Ship stayed in place, seemingly with no intention of dispatching.

You must know that the Tide Stream has stopped near them, and it has been almost the same for the past two days, and there is no suspicious sign at all, and the people on the Tide Stream can be counted on two hands, and in their opinion, a team of this size is not qualified to venture into the forbidden area at all.

But this did not prevent other pirates from becoming "interested" in the Tidestream.

"Three ships, it seems that we are still a sweetheart. ”

Lu Jing looked at the three pirate ships that were not much different in size from the Tidestream on the left, two of them were the most common brigs, and the rest were steam ships like the Tide, but they were obviously much simpler than the Tidestream.

If there was anything like these three ships, it was a group of sparkling pirates standing on the deck.

In their eyes, there is a blood sail pirate group behind them, like this kind of small boat, boarding and searching is equivalent to searching without any fighting, as long as they don't go too farth, the latter doesn't even dare to fart, if they meet the upper road, they will prepare money in advance and wait for them to go over to get it, who doesn't want the oil and water for nothing?

"Are you ready for the money?"

Gu Xiaoyin has seen a lot in the past two days, and she also understands what will happen next, she doesn't think that Lu Jing will let these people search his ship, but chooses to solve it with money, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Jing take a spear from Gorman's hand.

"Money?"

Glancing at Gu Xiaoyin in surprise, holding the purple thorns covered with purple lines all over his body, Lu Jing turned around and threw it out.

In the blink of an eye, the chimney in the middle of the deck of the steamship in the center of the three ships suddenly exploded and capsized into the sea, Lu Jing raised his hand and made a virtual grip movement, and dozens of streamers converged into purple thorns in his hand, and then continued,

"They're worthy too?"

Lu Jing has never been a reckless person, but it is absolutely impossible for him to bow his head to these rotten sweet potato rotten eggs, those guys' feet will stain the deck of the Tideflow!

The sudden attack made the pirates who were full of thoughts about how to blackmail the Tide Stream immediately fell into a panic, especially the steamship in the middle, the chimney was broken and directly smashed part of the ship's side, which was simply a disaster for them.

Everyone saw that the source of the purple streamer was the deck of the Tidecurrent, and they also understood that this was a warning from the other party, and if they got closer, it would no longer shoot the chimney.

No one thought that their bodies could be harder than the chimneys made of steel, so the three ships immediately stopped in the distance, and no longer meant to come closer.

However, they did not sit idle, but began to shout in the direction of the Bloodsail Pirate Ship, along with firing flares.

"You're going to provoke the Bloodsails by doing this!"

Gu Xiaoyin didn't agree with Lu Jing's approach, in her opinion, this was simply asking for trouble.

"What about messing with it?"

Lu Jing glanced at Gu Xiaoyin, put the purple thorn on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

The leg of the dog sent out was interrupted, and the Blood Sail Pirates reacted immediately, but to Gu Xiaoyin's expectation, the Blood Sail Pirate Ship was still parked in place, just let a speedboat down, and two people came galloping on it, and after a while, they arrived near the Tide.

"We returned to the cabin. ”

Gu Xiaoyin saw the person with the blood sail approaching, and immediately pulled the female mermaid back to the cabin.

"Stay here, don't go anywhere!"

Lu Jing turned around and approached the side of the boat in the direction of the speedboat, while Gorman directly blocked their way.

"Those people were sent by our blood sail to search for the female mermaids, do you dare to attack them and be thieves?"

Inside the speedboat, the middle-aged man with two narrow scimitars on his back looked up at Lu Jing, who was condescending on the side of the boat, and his eyes swept over the three Gorman next to him, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, my boat, all that waste is on board?"

Throwing the purple thorn to his side, Lu Jing's tone was equally cold and hard,

"Others are afraid of your blood sails, Lao Tzu doesn't care, I'm going to the forbidden area today to find my brother's shipwreck, if you think there is a problem, then get on the boat to check, as for whether you can go back after the check, that's another matter!"

While speaking, Xu Chu and Fu Ju had also appeared on the side of the boat, standing beside Lu Jing, looking at the two people in the speedboat below.

Feeling the overwhelming sense of oppression, the middle-aged man's expression changed again and again, and his gloomy face was about to speak, but the people accompanying him suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, his expression suddenly froze, his eyes swept over Lu Jing and his party, and finally waved his hand, signaling the people who drove the boat to evacuate.

It wasn't because he was afraid, the middle-aged man knew that there were at least five transcendents on this ship, and he had seen the scene of one of them blowing up the chimney with a blow from a distance of tens of meters just now, but there were a lot of people who came to Mu Shi Island this time, not to mention that the other party was full of people.

However, the words of his subordinates reminded him that the group of people in front of him had been concerned about before, and the people on the ship had also seen them, and they had been moving around the port in the past two days, and they didn't care about the surrounding pirates at all, if they were really thieves, they wouldn't do this at all.

And his ability itself is also biased towards detection, otherwise he would not have been sent to test, he can feel that there are no hidden people in the cabin, these people in front of him are all the people on this ship.

For the group of pirates next to him who don't know each other to have a bloody battle with this ship carrying five transcendents.

Not to mention whether they can win or not, the forbidden area is not to be considered anyway, and this undoubtedly defeats their main goal of rushing to Muhammad Island!

When the speedboat returned, Lu Jing waved his hand to signal the others to return to their positions, and at the same time looked at Gu Xiaoyin next to him and said,

"Now do you understand, the Blood Sail Pirates spent so much money to fight with you for her, and it is clear that they are here for the Sea Burial City, so I bet that they will not risk losing both, and this trip is in vain with us!"

After speaking, Lu Jing left with his hands behind his back in a strange tone.

The female mermaid also glanced at her deliberately, and raised her eyebrows.

In the final analysis, the fist of the infinite sea is the truth.

......

As the female mermaid was successfully taken out of the vicinity of Mu Island by Lu Jing, Gu Yunling quickly began to act.

Unlike the Tidal Current, which had been prepared for a long time, Gu Yunling and his party, which had a large number of people and a considerable target, were unexpectedly surrounded by the Blood Sail Pirates themselves.

Fortunately, there were no female sharks on the boat, and they had nothing to worry about in the face of the bloody sail inspection, although they couldn't go back like Lu Jing, but they still survived the crisis without danger.

The two sides maintained communication by dialing conch, and completed the handover in the position close to the restricted area.

The next thing is simple, according to the previous agreement between the two parties, Gu Yunling relied on the existence of the female mermaid and went straight to the sea burial city, and Lu Jing also used them as guides to control the direction.

However, a clear direction does not mean that the road can be safe and sound, after all, the female mermaid acted alone before, and this time it was a whole two boats, and nearly a hundred people went to sea together, like some reef areas that could have taken shortcuts, but now they can only detour.

The changed route undoubtedly increased the uncertainty during the voyage, and it can be said that there were many risks along the way from the official entry into the restricted area in the evening of the same day.

First of all, he encountered a large group of fierce sea beasts, Lu Jing made a move on the side of the tide, entered the state of tidal alienation and forcibly dispersed them, and there was also a master on Gu Yunling's side, that is, the oldest old man, whose extraordinary ability seemed to involve the aspect of sound waves, and pacified all the sea beasts that were about to attack the ship.

Not long after, the fleet encountered a sea volcano in an erupting state, which was one of the three dangers that the old man in the shop said, Gu Yunling's side planned to flow directly over, but was forcibly persuaded back by Lu Jing, and finally tried it with a wooden plank, and a fire ignited almost at the moment of contact......

Both encounters ended in a thrilling situation, and they thought that the rest would be smooth sailing, but the reality was that as they continued to enter the forbidden area, the danger was still approaching.

In the evening of the next day, a thick fog suddenly rose over the sea......

Lu Jing, who had experienced the sea volcano and had verified it, gathered the crew in the captain's room for the first time.

"It just rained not long ago, and fog on the endless sea is normal, and it can't be sure that it is the sea patrol ghost that the old man said before. ”

Xu Chu carried a pot of hot water and put it on the table, looked at the situation outside the window, and spoke.

At this time, the fog around the Tide was not too thick, and the big boat that Gu Yunling and his party were riding on was still a blurry shadow in the field of vision, which was obviously not a dense fog.

"Hmm...... But it's still necessary to mention to them, the situation over there. ”

Lu Jing took the kettle and brewed it one by one into the teacups with tea leaves that had been placed on the table.

"Fu Ju, dial the conch. ”

Gu Yunling's ship target is too big, and it is in front, so there should be no less early warning.

After a short busy sound, the conch was connected, and Lu Jing briefly explained the situation of the sea patrol ghosts to them.

"We pay attention to the fog around us...... Xiao Yin had just passed the female mermaid, who said that the fog did not affect her direction, and I did not recommend stopping and watching now. ”

Xu learned from Gu Xiaoyin about Lu Jing's previous affair with the Blood Sail Pirates, and Gu Yunling's attitude when he spoke to Xu Xi at this time was a little more consultative,

"In my judgment, this fog is going to last quite a long time. ”

The implication of Gu Yunling's words is very clear, danger is danger, but if he delays the voyage because of a plausible fog, it is obviously not acceptable to him, after all, if nothing else, the Blood Sail Pirates are also on their way to the forbidden area at this time, if the latter takes the lead, not to mention that their money to buy female mermaids is wasted, and the mission will also be in vain.

"Okay, then we'll continue to be as we are, and if we find anything, remember...... Hello?"

Halfway through the words, there was a sudden rustling sound in the dialed conch, Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, tilted his head to look at the condition of the conch, and said tentatively.

No one responded.

The rest of the captain's room immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at this side in unison.

"Have you been feeding on time lately?"

The Transsonic Conch itself is a cyborg creature that requires regular feeding to ensure its functioning, and this has always been Xu Xu's responsibility.

"Of course, I fed it according to the instructions, and it is impossible to solve the problem. ”

Xu Xi responded,

"Maybe there's something wrong over there?"

"It's not out of the question, Gorman, go get the flares, send a message over there, tell them to slow down, and we'll go up and check the situation. ”

Acting in the forbidden area, being careful can make a 10,000-year-old ship, Lu Jing put down the teacup he had just picked up and said.

"Captain, I think they shouldn't be able to see the flares......"

Fu Ju next to him looked at the situation outside the window and suddenly spoke.

Lu Jing followed her line of sight, his face changed slightly, I don't know when it started, the fog outside has become extremely thick, and he could still see the big ship a hundred meters away, but now even the scene of five meters outside the side of the ship has been dazed!

"Looks like we're not lucky...... Fu Ju, stop the ship immediately, Gorman, bring me the flares. ”

With this scene in front of him, everyone knew that something was wrong, and Lu Jing immediately spoke.
