() "Fart!" Old Turtle is most annoyed by dishonest people. He yelled: "Is it possible that the reef can't move on its own? Watch carefully!"
Then he personally looked under the boat and saw that the bottom of the boat was stuck on a protruding black rock and could not move at all!
"What's going on now?" The old turtle's expression also changed. He could see at a glance that it was not a rock! It was the back of some kind of creature!
"Sir! Look! There is a giant turtle over there!" the sailor on the observation deck shouted. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw a small palm-sized island lying quietly not far away.
He was looking at a huge turtle. The turtle seemed to be taking a nap or basking in the sun, remaining unmoved under the gaze of everyone.
"Such a big turtle! This is the first time I've seen it!" Zhang Xiong exclaimed while looking at the old turtle mischievously: "Uncle, he is bigger than you!"
"Get out!" the old turtle shouted angrily: "What's below us is not a reef, but a group of giant turtles! Set fire oil to burn them away! Otherwise we will be lifted up and overturned by them!"
"How can a turtle be so powerful?" Du Fei asked doubtfully, "Are you sure these are turtle shells?"
The old turtle walked to the side of the ship without saying a word, grabbed a musket from a musketeer beside him, and aimed it at the black thing slightly exposed on the sea surface and shot it!
The lead shattered the thing, and the bright red blood dyed a large area of the sea red. A turtle exposed its snow-white belly.
"Oh my god! It's really a turtle!" Zhang Xiong and others stuck out their tongues: "What if we use kerosene to burn the boat? The distance is too close!"
"It's okay! Burn!" Du Fei said without changing his expression: "Our ship has been modified with thick iron plates, so it can withstand it!"
Zhang Xiong and others then confidently and boldly began to pour kerosene into the sea, and suddenly the black kerosene floated all over the nearby sea. Zhang Xiong threw a burning torch into the sea, and the kerosene was burned all of a sudden.
Got it!
A foul smell immediately filled the air! Du Fei clearly heard something moaning under the sea.
Their boat bumped a few times and suddenly broke free! The old turtle was overjoyed and began to steer the ship himself, heading straight for the small island on the horizon.
When everyone let out a long sigh and thought that the danger was over, the ship began to bump violently again!
"Everyone, except the sailors in the watchtower, enter the cabin!" Old Turtle's loud voice echoed on the sea surface, and everyone hurriedly hid in.
At this time, the ship was going up and down, and the old turtle had a stern look on his face, holding the big rudder tightly with both hands, and the beard on his face seemed to stand up nervously like steel bars!
Everyone held their breath, and as the treasure ship rolled left and right under the impact of the undercurrent, suddenly there was a violent bump on the ship's hull! Everyone was thrown up at once! They fell on the deck on all fours!
The old turtle at the helm was also knocked down, but he stood up immediately and drove the ship to the quiet island not far away with all his strength.
At this moment, a huge tentacle suddenly stretched out from the sea, and it couldn't help but smashed one side of the treasure ship's hull with a fierce blow!
Du Fei was shocked: You must know that this is a ship with thick iron plates, and a cannon can penetrate it!
Immediately, a dull roar came from the sea, and a pool of blood surfaced. Then the huge tentacle was never seen again.
Du Fei immediately understood. It turned out that the iron spikes on the hull played a huge role! Although the monster just now was extremely powerful, he must have suffered serious stab wounds when it broke the hull. You must know
The steel spikes on the hull are seven or eight inches long and have barbs, but any flesh-and-blood body will not feel well if it hits them.
"Sir! The left side of the hull is damaged! The brothers have blocked it with things, but it will definitely break open again when encountering strong winds and waves! What to do!?" Zhang Zhi said anxiously: "We must land as soon as possible!"
"Old Turtle! Can we break through the remaining undercurrent?" Du Fei asked worriedly.
The old turtle's face turned pale at this time: "If the hull of the ship is not damaged, we are 80% sure, but times have changed and the undercurrent seems to be much stronger than it was a few decades ago! I wonder! But I will try my best.
!”
At this time, everyone could only close their eyes silently and resign themselves to fate.
"Peng! Peng! Crash!" The hull on the left side of the boat broke apart as expected, and the cold water poured in eagerly, soaking everyone all over.
"Hurry! Seal the leaks quickly!" Du Fei shouted loudly, instructing the sailors to seal the damaged parts of the cabin with all their strength.
The cabin on the left is where food is stored. The rice and grains inside were suddenly soaked by the sea water. Mo Nu, who led the sailors to seal the leaks, suddenly became anxious: This is the lifeblood of the entire ship! Then he said
There is also a small granary in the cabin, but that is only for storing wine and cured meats. The main food is stored here. Once the food here is flooded and inedible, the people on the ship are likely to starve to death!
He immediately picked up a large box and moved toward the water that was constantly rushing in. At this time, the water in the cabin had reached his knees, and some fish in the sea were involuntarily squeezed into the cabin through the loopholes.
"Ah!!" Suddenly Mo Nu screamed loudly! His left foot was suddenly bitten by something in the water, and he immediately became unsteady and fell!
Nangong Feiyun and Zhang Xiong behind him immediately took him aside. One of his feet was bloody and bloody, and a large piece of meat was missing from his foot!
"Oh my god! What kind of bite was this?" Zhang Xiong saw that the wound had clearly exposed the white bones, and his face turned green with fear.
At this time, a sailor who was sealing the leak screamed and was bitten! Everyone quickly took the harpoon and poked randomly in the dirty water! Suddenly Nangong Feiyun felt something slippery in the water rubbing against his skin.
He passed by with his feet, and immediately harpooned it with quick hands and eyes! On his harpoon was a big fish with golden scales weighing more than ten kilograms! It was very ferocious, and its mouth was full of messy and dense little points.
There seems to be a piece of meat in the mouth that has not been swallowed.
"What kind of weird thing is this!" Nangong Feiyun was shocked. Although he was the young master of the Nangong family, and the generation running the Jiangnan family was no stranger to maritime affairs, this was the first time he saw such a vicious and ugly fish.
.
At this time, an old sailor shouted: "Be careful! This is the 'Crown Prince'! Don't move!"
The 'Crown Prince' that the sailor is talking about is a kind of evil fish in the deep sea. They are not the largest, but their teeth are very sharp and their character is extremely cruel! Fishermen in the East China Sea call this strange fish with golden scales
It's the 'Crown Prince', which means he can't move.
Nangong Feiyun watched as the fish with yellow scales opened and closed its big mouth full of sharp teeth towards him, completely ignoring that his body had been pierced by the harpoon.
"Damn! What a weird thing!" Nangong Feiyun poked the fish on the wall of the cabin, stepped on it with one foot and then thrust it in a few times! The fish had a very strong vitality, even if it was hit by
After being stabbed several times, the body was still shaking violently, as if it would never die, until Zhang Xiong suddenly hit the fish from the side with a hammer used to repair the cabin, smashing the fish's head to pieces.
The fish reluctantly shook its tail a few times and died.
At this time, the undercurrent of force on the seabed had gradually weakened. Taking advantage of this moment, the sailors hurriedly patched up the loopholes and began to quickly transfer food. Although the loopholes were patched up in time, quite a few
The grain has been soaked by sea water.
Du Fei couldn't help but frowned when he learned about the damage and other losses. There were more than two hundred people on the ship, and the daily food consumption was staggering. If the food was not enough to support them to the next port,
, is likely to lead to tragedy.
"Hurry up and check other parts of the ship! See if there is any damage!" Du Fei said with a gloomy face: "Store the food in the strongest rear cabin! From now on, the food per person per day will be halved!"
"Okay! This is it!" Suddenly the old turtle shouted excitedly: "I succeeded! I have survived the undercurrent!"
Du Fei looked forward and saw a misty island appearing in front of him. He took a deep breath of the mist beside the island and felt it was very sweet.
