Chapter 223 Fury

"Are we safe now?"

After two rounds of fierce bombardment at close range, the Jackdaw miraculously did not sink, but stumbled out of the harbor.

The red-haired girl pulled out the splinter of wood inserted into her shoulder and asked.

Zhang Heng was unable to move when the armed ship on the opposite side opened fire, and Anne decisively stood in front of him. Although the two of them were lucky not to be hit by the shells, the splash damage caused by the shells falling on the deck had a profound impact on the ship. The personnel are actually the most dangerous, and most of this damage has been borne by the red-haired girl.

Not only the wounds on her shoulders, but also Annie's arms, calves and cheeks all had scratches to varying degrees. However, during this period, the red-haired girl remained silent.

Zhang Heng did not express his gratitude. With the relationship between the two, there was no need for verbal thanks. He took off his clothes and gave the latter a bandage, while speaking.

"I don't think so. If they don't have the advantage in firepower, they might just let us go. But now we don't have so many ships to deal with those people on the beach, so they will definitely split up their efforts to chase us."

As soon as Zhang Heng finished speaking, the shadows of two armed ships appeared in the smoke behind him.

They should have just turned around and put some distance between themselves and the Jackdaw, but they soon came out of the smoke.

In normal times, Zhang Heng would not have worried about the pursuers behind him. With the Jackdaw's performance and firepower, even if it were one versus two, there would still be a chance of winning. What's more, even if things went wrong, he could easily evacuate with his excellent speed.

But now the condition of the Jackdaw is extremely bad. There are insufficient personnel on the ship, almost no gunners, at least three sails are damaged, and the hull is leaking seriously. Compared with before, the water level has risen by at least three feet, and has reached cordon.

In this case, let alone resisting the pursuers behind them, it was even questionable whether they could sail to Nassau.

That's why Difrena seemed so desperate before. Even if the Jackdaw could break through the navy's layers of blockade, it wouldn't be able to run far in its current state.

He couldn't see where the only chance of life was.

But since Zhang Heng wanted to take this gamble, of course he couldn't be unprepared. He temporarily handed over the rudder to Anne's hands, borrowed the latter's dagger, and then came to the mainmast. He studied under Roscoe at that time and worked for the old man for quite some time. He was no stranger to things like climbing masts.

Although he had almost never done similar work after becoming a captain, his movements were not completely unfamiliar. He picked up the dagger with his teeth, climbed to the top of the mainmast as quickly as possible, and saw the scratched area on it. The place where an ancient Celtic name was originally engraved.

Zhang Heng took the dagger from his mouth. This name had been scratched out by him before, but now he had carved it out again.

In the original plan, Zhang Heng planned to communicate with the so-called ancient Celtic god after getting the wooden box of the tule tree. This was also the safest way, but now he had no other choice.

Zhang Heng carries many game props with him, but the only one that can really help him in this situation is the unidentified shell.

However, after he finished carving the last stroke and stopped, nothing special happened. At this time, the two armed ships had greatly shortened the distance between them and the Jackdaw, and the gunners on the ship had also entered a standby state.

There was not much time left for Zhang Heng. He did not think that the ancient Celtic god named Betty had abandoned him at this moment. In fact, Zhang Heng had always suspected that the opponent's target on the previous ghost ship was not Seth, but him as the captain.

It was only later interrupted by the sudden appearance of Annie that the ancient Celtic god named Betty had to give up him and choose Seth who was alone on the other side. However, her goal never changed. She instructed Seth Si went to steal the three notebooks. In fact, his motive was not pure. Instead, he deliberately exposed Seth in front of Zhang Heng in order to attract his attention.

But what Zhang Heng didn't understand was why the ancient Celtic god named Betty never came to him again after he got the shell.

Zhang Heng quickly reviewed the conversation he had with Seth again. He remembered the sudden storm he encountered when he returned to Nassau, and what Seth said about the anger needed to control the storm.

Zhang Heng frowned. Perhaps it was because his parents were never around. He was one of the precocious people, and compared to his peers, his emotions were relatively stable from childhood to adulthood.

Naturally, there are times when he is angry, but after realizing that anger cannot solve the problem, he rarely feels angry about anything anymore.

When Wei Jiangyang first worked part-time as a tutor and was defrauded of money, everyone drank with him to relieve his boredom. Later, he drank too much and said to Zhang Heng, "Zhang Heng, I think the most awesome thing about you is that you always seem to be able to see clearly." How do you do this in this cruel world, but not be disappointed by it? Just like a bystander... You are good at everything, but sometimes you are too calm, which is a bit boring. "

Zhang Heng also knew that his SAN value sometimes dropped slowly, but he never thought that this would one day become a problem for him.

He looked back at his life and found that there didn't seem to be anything particularly bitter or bitter that made him feel angry.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Because according to his deduction, summoning a storm not only requires anger, but also only continuous anger can maintain the storm. Seth's anger before came and went quickly, so the storm was also very short-lived.

And if he wanted to get rid of the entanglement of the two armed ships behind him, he would need a storm that could last for at least half an hour.

Zhang Heng could only find another way. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Half a minute later, the bows of the two armed ships were almost approaching the stern of the Jackdaw. At this moment, a thick bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.

The bolt of lightning happened to fall on the mast of one of the armed ships. Although there was no one near the mast, the crew members were still broken into cold sweats by this scene.

However, this was just the beginning. Then there was rolling thunder from the sky. At the same time, the lightning became more and more dense, like a purple power grid. The originally calm sea surface suddenly became violently windy, and one of the ships The armed ship was clearly approaching the Jackdaw. The captain ordered to prepare to fire, but a huge wave hit the side of the ship, knocking all the gunners on it to the ground.
