23. Life at sea

The sailboat was dragging the lifeboat and sailing south along the ocean current. The hemp rope was stretched straight. Even if the sail was raised, the speed of the big ship could not rise due to the drag of the lifeboat. You could even hear the "crying" sound of the pedestal of the pedestal fixed to the bow of the ship, as if the speargun could collapse at any time. The huge tentacles that extended from the sea quickly wrapped around the hull.

Captain Blanty saw the huge tentacle that was dozens of meters long reaching over. The tips of the tentacles were covered with countless sharp spikes. As soon as they touched the side of the ship, Rand and seven other cavalrymen raised their crusaders and slashed them on the slippery and wet tentacles.

The spikes on the huge tentacles were extremely hard. The Crusader's long sword slashed on it, making a sound of gold and iron clashing. The powerful knight could only cut off a few spikes and left a shallow wound on the tentacles.

The sailors on the boat also took out their spears and stabbed them at the huge tentacles, but those spears could not penetrate the slippery and tough cortex of the tentacles.

Instead, the tentacle caused the tentacle to thrust hard towards the sailors on the ship like a long whip. The huge tentacle twitched the boat, and immediately swept the sailors from the deck into the sea. A huge gap was also made on the side and deck on the left side of the sailboat. The Rand Knight saw the opportunity early and avoided the whip from the tentacle.

Noah, Shirley Newman and I released magic, ice arrows, and fireballs hit the tentacles. The tentacle seemed to be very sensitive to the fireballs. They were burned by Noah and Shirley Newman's fireballs and immediately quickly retreated into the sea.

Before the sailors on the boat could cheer for this short victory, three huge tentacles suddenly emerged from the sea and were entangled on the boat at the same time. One of the tentacles just stopped the rope between the sailboat and the lifeboat. The big ship sailed even slower because of the rope.

Captain Bronty in the cab shouted loudly to the first mate at the bow of the ship: "Cut the rope quickly, otherwise none of us will leave."

The first mate stood at the bow of the boat and quickly pulled out a scimitar from his waist, cutting off the rope with one knife. The lifeboat was like a kite with a broken string, landing on the turbulent sea. The huge tentacle wrapped around the rope and quickly dragged it into the sea. The lifeboat and the four sailors above were pulled into the sea before they even had time to shout.

At this time, the Belland sailboat was like a wild horse that broke free from its reins. Under the push of the north wind and ocean currents, it flexibly drilled out from the pinch of two tentacles.

The three huge tentacles were chasing behind the Belland, swimming against the sea, like three sea snakes.

At this time, Noah shouted at Shirley Newman: "Sherley, help me!"

Noah was standing on the deck and quickly drew a magic pattern array, which condensed a pitch-black ball in front of him.

This is the extreme version of the "Black Oil Technique". The diameter of the ball made of black oil is nearly one meter. Noah barely controlled the magic and pushed the black oil ball out of the ship. A giant tentacle roared and hit the black oil ball, and the black oil stuck to the tentacles.

Shirley Newman threw out the fireball that had been prepared by Noah. When the fireball touched the black oil on the tentacles, it burned violently. The tentacles were instantly engulfed by the fire. The rapid fire caused the tentacles to retract into the sea, and the burning black oil floated on the sea surface and the burning black oil remained extinguished.

An ice wall rose from the sea, blocking the other two tentacles that followed behind. One of them smashed the ice wall like a long whip. The two tentacles stopped the rushing in a galloping.

The Belan took advantage of this gap and quickly escaped from this area with the sea breeze.

...

Several sailors were repairing the side of the ship and the broken deck on the left. There were spare wood on the ship. The sailors only needed to saw the wood into the shape of the gap, nail the boards to the keel of the sailboat, polish the boards smoothly, and brush the tung oil several times repeatedly. The repair work was completed.

The bodies of the Naga Sea Warriors on the deck were quickly moved into the warehouse at the bottom of the cabin by the sailors. In order to ensure that the bodies of these Sea Warriors will not rot in the hot summer, a layer of salt was sprinkled on the bodies of each Sea Warrior.

In addition, after learning that I was a water magician, Captain Blanti personally asked me to use magic to create some ice cubes and put them in the warehouse at the bottom of the bilge. The cabin doors were wrapped tightly with thick quilts to isolate the heat outside. Even so, the ice cubes could only be maintained in the warehouse for a few days.

I asked Bronty why he would rather risk his life than let the sailors salvage the bodies of the Naga warrior in the sea.

Captain Blanti just smiled strangely and did not say the reason. This made me feel that the body of the Naga Sea warrior was a bit mysterious.

The Belan is in the seas of the Naga Sea natives, and even at night, the ship will never stop.

The sailors on the boat were eager to walk out of this sea area in one breath, but in the following days, although we encountered several battles between the Faceless Legion and the Naga Sea Clan, we did not have the chance to pick up corpses on the battlefield because of the unexpected timing.

Seeing that the Naga Sea tribe in the Vasqi plane had already started a full war with the Dark Faceless Legion, Noah and I had a deeper understanding of the situation in the Vasqi plane.

Obviously, the situation in the Vasqi plane is worse than that in the Jero plane. Although the Mensa family occupied hundreds of islands suitable for human habitation in the Vasqi plane, they are not the real owner of the Vasqi plane.

The real master of this sea area is the Naga Sea tribe in the sea. At present, the Naga Sea warriors are the Naga Sea tribe who resists the Faceless Legion.

When the sailboat passed through these seas, it was discovered that the Faceless Legion should have taken the initiative in the war and was also the final winner of these battles.

The most dangerous time, when we were sailing in the ocean current, we were ambushed by the Faceless Legion. Fortunately, these Faceless Legion did not set up an ambush circle, but were on the sea where the Belan was marching, and we were shaking the war. How could our Captain Bronte just hit him head-on and bypassed from one side from a distance.

Although the faceless legion quickly chased after us, the sea breeze that day fulfilled us and let us throw the faceless group far behind.

The sea area of ​​the Vasqi plane is extremely vast. We took advantage of this north wind and walked south along the ocean current in the sea. We walked for more than a week, and then we found that the sea water in front of us had finally returned to a blue color.

Captain Bronti told me that we had walked out of the sea controlled by the Naga Sea tribe.

Putting aside the potential threats from the sea beasts in the sea to us, this place can be considered a safe area.

Captain Blanty couldn't wait to let the sailor stand on the lookout, looking for the nearby islands on the sea.

Although there is no large area of ​​land on the Vasqi plane, the islands in the sea are as numerous as stars in the sky. Of course, the Mensa family occupies many livable islands on the Vasqi plane, but there are more islands that are not occupied by others because they do not have fresh water or other living resources. They are still deserted and deserted islands.

Captain Blanty found an island like this.

This is an island in the shape of a horseshoe, surrounded by red coral reefs. There is a two-kilometer-long white sand beach on one side of the island, and a cliff with a drop of about 30 meters on the other side. There are a lot of green vegetation growing lushly on the island. It is impossible to tell whether there are wild animals living, but many birds live in the forest.

This island, which looks less than 0.5 square kilometers, can see its full picture at a glance by standing on the deck of a sailboat.

There was no deep waterway or good harbor. The Belan was parked in the waters outside the coral reefs. The only lifeboat on the ship had been discarded in the waters of the Naga Sea. Captain Blanti ordered the sailors to remove several door panels on the ship and throw them into the water. The first mate took thirty sailors to sit on the door panel and swam to the small island.

The sailors who arrived on the island kept cutting wood on the island and made a larger raft to return to the Belan.

All the bodies of the Naga Sea warriors on the ship were transported to the raft, and were transported to the island by the sailors with a fishy and salty odor. At this time, the leather armor and other things on the Naga warriors had been scraped away, leaving only the bodies covered with a layer of light blue scales.

Then, Captain Blanty ordered people to transport a large iron pot and dozens of clay pots to the island.

When Noah, Shirley, Newman and others came to the deserted island on a raft, the first mate had already brought the sailors to the beach by the sea and filled the big iron pot with wood. The wood just cut was very wet, and when it was burning, it burst into smoke. This smoke column suddenly destroyed the charming beauty of the island.

I brought Catalina, Deborah, Noah, and Knight Lanter, Shirley Newman and Miss Cialis, and accompanied Jacques and Joan.

We were eager to know what Captain Bronte was going to do with these Naga warriors' bodies, but it seemed that Ying Li had no interest in it. Not only was he uninterested, but he also became cold in Captain Bronte's attitude, and even felt a little disgusted, so she hid in the cabin without seeing it and refused to walk out.

Ying Li has been studying the preparation method of Rococo Flower recently. After wasting five bottles of "Devil Blood", she still made no progress. However, Ying Li is the kind of person who will not give up easily once she is serious. In the end, under her sweet smile, I had no choice but to take out another bottle of "Devil Blood" and hand it over to her.

Recently, while sailing on the sea, I helped Senior Dylan organize the magic pattern patterns on the teleportation magic array. Senior Dylan didn't expect that I would be so efficient in drawing magic runes. He worked hard to sort out runes for two or three days. Usually, I could only spend half a day to help him record them on magic parchment.

Only Ying Li and Senior Dylan did not get off the ship. I was worried that Ying Li, Helena, and Becky could not deal with the emergencies on the Bench and let the Taurens Ruka and Kalancho stay to protect the three girls.

We walked down from the raft and stood on the beach and watched the sailors transport the bodies of Naga warriors ashore. Several sailors placed the bodies of Naga warriors under the guillotine and cut them into several sections, and threw them into a boiling iron pot to cook.

When she saw this scene, Shirley Newman and Miss Chery couldn't help it, covered their mouths and ran far away to a big tree and vomited wildly.

Jacques also looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face, and resisted his disgust and couldn't help but take a few steps back. Joan stood beside Jacques and asked Jacques with a strange look on his face: "I heard that the lamp oil in the noble family is all made of deep-sea marsh oil. Have you never seen the process of refining marsh oil?"

There was a faint smell of fragrant oil in the air, but when he saw the Naga warrior boiled in the big iron pot, Jacques finally couldn't help but reach out to cover his mouth. He frowned with his eyebrows and looked painful, and said to Qiong speechlessly: "Who told you that the lamps in the noble family need such disgusting lamp oil?"

"The lamps at your house are really not made with this kind of shark oil that burns and exudes a faint fragrance?" Qiong asked with big eyes blinking.

Noah casually said to Joan: "Of course, the lights at home are all wicks carved from moonstone, so there is no need to use these disgusting marmoset oil."

However, the Rand Knight covered his mouth and nose lightly, walked forward two steps, leaned his head and looked into the big iron pot, and frowned slightly.

When he returned, he explained to Noah and Jacques: "It turns out that this is deep-sea marmot oil. Even in the imperial capital, this thing is a rare thing that can be auctioned in auction houses. Many nobles have special preferences for this marmot oil that burns and emits fragrance. This marmot oil is listed first in the Mensa family's banned sale orders and is not allowed to trade within the territory of the Mensa family."

At this time, Captain Blanti walked down from the raft behind with pride. He held a clay pot in his hands and said to us: "This kind of marmoset oil is for sale in Galapagos City. A can of marmoset oil can be exchanged for a full can of marmoset oil. Many adventure groups came from the Green Empire to poach the Naga Sea tribe in the seas of the Vasqi plane and refine this expensive marmoset oil."

Then, Captain Blanti said happily again: "Haha, I never thought that I could pick up so many Naga warriors' bodies in that area, which made me a surprise."

"In recent years, the relationship between the Naga Sea tribe and the family in the Vasqi plane has become worse and worse, which is also due to this reason?" Noah turned his head and asked Rand Knight.

Rand Knight nodded and said, "There should be part of the reason!"

At this time, I thought of Ying Li's face becoming a little strange when he saw the body of the Naga Sea warrior fished up on the deck of the ship. He looked a little disgusted. It seemed that she knew that Captain Bronti wanted to refine these Naga warriors with shark oil. There were also adventure groups poaching Naga Sea tribes in the Haiyinsi City. If you count it carefully, hunting Naga Sea tribe is much easier than hunting sea beasts in the sea.

Captain Blanti, with a shy face, leaned against the Knight Rand, and said to him with a proud look: "Knight, the bodies of me, the Naga Sea warriors, were not poached, but were picked up openly. For this reason, I also lost ten sailors. These bodies picked up can't be considered things under the ban, right?"
