Chapter two hundred and ninetieth unexpected attack
At the beginning, when standing on the deck, you could occasionally see some merchant ships coming and going, dragging long water marks and passing by the Fortune. Most of the sailors on both sides of the deck were familiar and could wave each other loudly. However, as the Fortune gradually penetrated into the central area of the Sea of Falling Stars, the traces in their sight gradually disappeared, and only blue waves were left in the eyes.
The excitement between Manchu and Qinggang had long passed, especially the dwarf warrior who called himself the "Garfield Demon", was now lying in his room and vomiting. For a while, he probably didn't have the energy to wander around again~
"How many days will it take for us to get there?"
Fang Yi had never left the deck and had a great chat with the bearded bearded man Wayne, and soon brought the topic to this voyage.
"It's about three or four days, it depends on luck," the bearded man held his pipe and looked up at the cloudless sky in the east. "If it's always been like this, it should be at most three days. At that time, I'll put you on the island in the south, and you can take it to the center of the archipelago by yourself."
"There are also towns on the islands?" Fang Yi asked in surprise.
Wayne nodded naturally, "Of course, pirates have to eat and sleep. There are many small towns where adventurers from all over the world gather. In fact, ordinary pirates only rob things but not kill people. Only those vicious pirates will kill people and burn ships. That is the group of guys we least want to meet..."
"By the way, let me remind you about this. "The bearded Wayne seemed to suddenly remember something, and slapped his forehead. "There are many fishman tribes in the sea near Xingmu City. If you hear the noise outside at night, don't care, just continue to sleep."
Fang Yi nodded and said that he had already recorded it. His eyes had fallen on the side of the ship, wrapped in oil cloth. It was supposed to be the weapons used by the sailors. Looking at Wayne's expression, these fishmen's combat power was not too strong, and the sailors and the captain had become accustomed to it.
"Actually, these fishmen rarely appeared before." The bearded man talked very enthusiastically. He simply told Fang Yi about the story on this route. "It's just that in the past two months, whether it is the nearby pirates or these fishmen, they all seem to be crazy and harasse the caravan desperately in this sea area. Now whenever I see the fishmen, my first idea is to pull out their scales and stew the soup!"
The bearded man obviously hated these sea robbers into his bones. After all, cutting off people's wealth is the most hated thing. However, as a player, Fang Yi was only excited: this large-scale sea world that has almost not been involved by players. What secrets are waiting for us to uncover?
***
The captain did not invite the adventurers on the ship to help, but as a player, the few were still quite "conscious". As soon as the sky darkened, four people from the Mithril Shell Team appeared on time on the deck of the Fortune, preparing to visit the fish crowd that claimed to "can't kill you and feel disgusting you."
Fortune is nearly half bigger than the swordfish that Fang Yi had sat on before. The gray-black hull is a spindle-shaped overall. The captain's room is on the highest level of the stern, and up the rudder and the rear mast.
In fact, Fang Yi also had experience riding a boat during the internal test. When doing the "Shadow Road" mission, Fang Yi once used a small fishing boat to cross the vast steam lake from east to west. However, that experience was unbearable to look back on. He was swallowed by the water monster twice in the lake, and it was tears when he thought about it...
At this time, there were already figures on the deck that emitted the musty smell and the smell of sea. Twenty sailors were holding sharp blades, holding scimitars and swords, or holding sharp harpoons, constantly looking at the dark sea surface. However, there were not many panic expressions on everyone's faces, but they were chatting and laughing.
The four of them stood by the side of the ship on the left. Fang Yi and the wild hammer who had just vomited were observing the surrounding sea through dark vision, but they found nothing.
"Adventurers, why are you here? Just have us here~"
With the loud "thump" sound of leather boots trampling on the deck, Wayne, who had changed into a chain mail and carried a heavy sword, walked out of the captain's room. Seeing the four figures waiting on one side, he walked over with a smile.
"As a member of the ship, we have no choice but to pay ~" The old demon certainly understood why Wayne was so polite - each of the Mithril shell team paid two thousand gold coins to get the qualification to go to HNA. As the biggest financial owner, the captain was of course very concerned about the safety of several people.
The bearded man smiled friendly, then turned around and walked towards his subordinates, muttering to himself, "It should have appeared this time long ago, why haven't you come yet..."
Fang Yi frowned slightly after hearing Wayne's muttering, turned his head and continued to observe the surrounding sea: These sailors must have experienced countless harassment by fishmen, and they all looked like they were not caring. However, Fang Yi has always been unaccustomed to handing over his destiny to others, and he always feels uneasy if he doesn't see it with his own eyes.
The night is getting darker.
The sailors who were originally guarding the deck were less than half of them. They were busy all day and had to continue sailing tomorrow, so Wayne asked them to go down to the cabin to rest. However, Fang Yi and the other four were still standing on the deck. Manchu and Fang Yi stood on the side, watching the situation on the sea.
"Xiao Pang, how are you looking for a job?"
Aoka, who was standing aside with the dwarf warrior, was lying on the side of the ship, looking boredly at the dark night sky in front of him. The light range provided by the two oil lamps hanging on the ship was useless at all.
"There is no progress for the time being, don't worry..." Manchu took off his helmet and scratched his head, and said hatefully, "That fat man didn't dare to provoke you again last time, right? Humph, if he doesn't beat him up, he won't understand why the flower is so red!"
Qinggang glared at him and said, "He is our boss! You idiot..."
Manchu smiled and rubbed his head, "Hehe~ No matter what his boss, have you been beaten down by me? Now that we meet such a big master like Block, it's really rare to have an opportunity~ I'll let them see..."
"Beware of the Wild Crack, there's something!"
Before the dwarf warrior could finish his words, Fang Yi's deliberate voice came from the other side. Manchu quickly closed his mouth, took off his shield from his back, and looked into the sea with his head and head.
***
The wind on the sea is completely different from the feeling on the land. Even if it is just a breeze, the exposed skin will feel a chill. Fang Yi rubbed his slightly numb cheeks, and he lacked confidence: According to the bearded man, the merchant ship had entered this sea area and must have been discovered by the enemy, but there is still no movement at all. Could it be that the fish people are on holiday?
At this moment, a white dot suddenly popped out of the dark sea water from the farthest part of Fang Yi's vision. Although it flashed, it was still caught by the attentive Fang Yi. Fang Yi quickly patted the old demon who was still confused by him, and at the same time woke up the others on the deck.
The main master is here!
The faint white dots were extremely fast, and the wind was weak in the night, and the slowly sailed Fortune was quickly caught up by the other party. Fang Yi had already stretched out his crossbow and pointed the direction of the fish crowd with an arrow. He felt that the distance was almost the same, so he reached out and patted the mage on the shoulder.
"put!"
The old demon on the side had been waiting for a long time. When he heard Fang Yi's instructions, he immediately raised his hand and threw a torch at the sea surface. The faint flame on the torch seemed to be blown out by the sea breeze at any time, and did not arouse the attackers' alert at all.
The next moment, the torch with "fireworks" attached to it suddenly exploded without warning with a "bang!", and the scattered firelight burst out like fireworks in reality, and a bright flame burst out in the dark night sky. All the attackers hidden in the sea water were exposed to the eyes of the crew.
"kill!"
Wayne, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted, and the harpoons, salamanders and bows in the sailors' hands rushed straight to the big heads of the fish people with the sound of breaking through the air. The original sneak attacker became a passive side, and the bright red blood immediately dyed the sea red.
Fang Yi skillfully drew crossbow arrows from the skin behind him and filled them into the groove of the crossbow. These fishmen are all humanoid monsters below level ten. The best and fastest way is of course to wait until the opponent climbs onto the deck, and the Misilver Case Team can kill him and kill him in minutes.
However, this may also bring casualties to the sailors. In this vast sea, the captain and these experienced sailors are the most important things on the ship. Fang Yi dared not take risks, so he adopted a safer method.
Now it seems that Fang Yi feels that he has overestimated the combat power of these fishmen - it is no different from those fishmen on the beach. When Fang Yi wiped the poisonous crossbow, every arrow that would inevitably lead to a fishman screaming. If he is lucky, he will shoot a critical hit and kill it in seconds. Not to mention the heavy turret of the Old Devil.
The battlefield on the other side also had many results. Needless to mention the light crossbow in Qinggang's hand, the long bow of the Wild Hammer is even stronger than that of the old demon. Even Fang Yi praised the Wild Hammer's bow and arrow technology several times, with a high power bonus. Whenever the Wild Hammer's arrow was shot out, a fishman would be penetrated by a long feather arrow with a scream and sank directly into the sea bottom.
But someone soon noticed something was wrong.
Qinggang's hands, which were holding the boat on the side of the boat, felt a slight vibration at first, and then the same feeling came from his feet. After the priestess put a "magic armor" spell on the Wild Hammer, the feeling of the soles of the feet was already extremely obvious. Amid the shouts of the sailors, Qinggang even heard the sound of "dong!" and "dong!" knocking from the soles of the feet.
Chapter completed!
