Chapter 1005 Is This the End?
After secretly "assisting" the sailors in repairing the leaky bottom of the ship with the help of "Running Pian Zhi", Fang Zheng went back to his room to rest. Originally, he thought that Katie's bad luck had come to an end.
But what Fangzheng didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.
Fangzheng woke up early the next morning, but she didn't wake up naturally, but was woken up by the noise outside.
"Woo... what happened?"
Hearing the quarrel, Hu Tao turned over and got up from the bed, rubbing her eyes. Fang Zheng shook his head, then he stretched out his hand to push open the door and walked onto the deck. Then, Fang Zheng saw that the captain was holding a whip and beating a thin sailor vigorously.
"You idiot! What did I tell you to do! You idiot!! Look what you did?!!"
"What's the matter? Wait, why did you hit someone!"
At this moment, Hu Tao also came out, and she was shocked when she saw this scene, and hurried forward to stop him. The captain also gave the sailor a look, and then kicked him to the ground, and then sighed helplessly.
"Miss mercenary, you don't know the situation. This idiot was supposed to keep watch last night, but he actually fell asleep! And now, we were pushed away by an ocean current that came from nowhere. The route, to put it simply...we got lost!!"
………Meow meow meow? ?
Hearing this, Fangzheng's eyes widened immediately, and then silently glanced at Katie who was standing beside her...
Is the young lady's bad luck curse not over yet?
"Off course? What's going on?"
At this moment, other passengers also came over, and when they heard the captain's words, they were shocked.
"Hey, don't you have anything to do? You should have a compass!"
"The compass was lost in the previous storm. I have sent someone to look for it, but I don't know if it is still on the ship..."
"Aha……"
Hearing this, Fangzheng sighed helplessly, and then she walked forward.
"I know a thing or two about magic, maybe I can help you..."
"Really? That's great, Miss Mercenary!!"
Regarding Fang Zheng's words, the captain had no doubts. It is true that some mercenaries know some superficial spells. Of course, they may not be as good as regular mages, but they can sometimes produce miraculous effects. The captain himself has traveled all over the world for so many years, and has seen many mercenaries, so when he heard the cute red-haired girl with two ponytails in front of him say that she knows magic, he immediately became happy.
"Please help us determine the position..."
"no problem."
For Fangzheng, this is of course no problem. She stretched out her hand, read a few words in a low voice, and quickly determined the direction. Then the captain brought the chart and compared it with Fangzheng's magic, and finally figured out their direction. At the current location, he immediately turned around and drove towards the destination again.
Seeing that the matter was successfully resolved, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and then returned to their cabins—after the storm yesterday, and the water leak at the bottom of the ship took a long time to fix, it was already exhausting. At this moment, it was so tossing that it almost made people have a heart attack. Everyone who had nothing to do went back to the room to rest.
"Unlucky..."
Back in the cabin, Hu Tao also muttered something.
"It's not that I haven't been on a boat before, but I've never seen such a thing. Hey...it's so strange."
"..."
Hearing Walnut talking to herself, Katie trembled, then lowered her head without saying a word. It's just that Fangzheng has already seen that the little guy has almost shrunk into a ball at this moment.
The rest of the journey was uneventful, although the atmosphere in the cabin was a bit gloomy, but after Fang Zheng cooked the grilled fish and fish soup, everyone relaxed a lot. Maybe it wasn't delicious, but it was possible to eat grilled fish while watching the endless sea on the boat , this feeling is quite comfortable.
By the way, the fish were all caught by the walnuts, and Kuangsan didn't catch any of them.
It can be seen that this also depends on luck.
After eating the fish soup, everyone stayed in the cabin to rest and chat by the way. It's just that Katie obviously doesn't have much interest in chatting, or the young lady has started to use her powerful invisibility ability again, and a few people feel that Katie can't be found after chatting. But fortunately, this eldest lady didn't move her nest, as long as she found the right place and took a look, she could be caught.
Soon, the sun was setting, and the bright red sun slowly fell below the horizon, and the whole world began to gradually become darker, and this dull day was about to end...
"Bang bang bang bang bang!!!"
The harsh and rapid sound of the bell broke the silence on the boat. Hearing the sudden sound, Fang Zheng, Kuang San and Hu Tao jumped up, and Katie raised her head like a frightened hamster, and looked around anxiously. Looking around, it didn't take long for the sailor's shouts to penetrate the entire cabin from outside.
"pirate!!"
"boom!!"
At the same time, as if to prove his words, accompanied by a dull explosion, everyone only felt the hull tremble slightly, and then someone shouted again.
"The cargo hold was hit, it's on fire, come and put out the fire!!"
"..."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and then rushed out of the cabin again.
When Fangzheng and his party came to the deck again, they saw a pirate ship biting the side and rear of the ship as expected, and shells were fired from time to time, flying towards them. Although most of the shells failed to hit the target due to insufficient range, a few shells still hit the hull and ignited a raging fire.
"Extinguish the fire! Extinguish the fire! Damn it, fight back! Hurry up and fight back! Over there, aim for me!!"
The captain was almost going mad with anger at this time. While directing the sailors to put out the fire, he strode up to the cannon, filled it with a shell, and then aimed at the pirate ship in the distance.
No one noticed, at this moment, Fang Zheng was standing not far behind the captain, her fingers trembling invisibly in the air, outlining a series of magic runes, and then the mysterious power followed silently like this. Go into it with the barrel.
"Damn bastard, go to hell!"
The captain yelled, and then he pulled hard. The next moment, with a loud "bang", the shells roared out of the barrel and flew towards the pirate ship in the distance.
However, no one noticed the almost invisible smear of dark red attached to the cannonball.
"boom!!"
However, the next moment, everyone saw the pirate ship in the distance suddenly explode, and the flames shot up into the sky. The whole ship was completely torn apart as if it had been hit by a missile.
Seeing this scene, even the captain himself was stunned, and the others were also stunned. After a while, they cheered loudly.
"Captain, you are amazing!"
"It hit their ammunition depot with one shot, it's the captain!!"
Obviously, everyone thought that the captain's previous shell hit the ammunition depot on the pirate ship, which directly caused the explosion to become like this. And the captain himself widened his eyes, slapped himself hard a few times, and then grinned triumphantly.
"Hahaha, Goddess Blessing, this is Goddess Blessing! This time I go ashore, I invite all of you to go to the pipe tavern! Everyone have a good drink! For this shell!"
"Captain, captain......!!"
However, before the captain's voice fell, another sailor hurried over.
"What's wrong? What happened again?"
"Vortex——!!"
The next moment, the sailor yelled enough to make everyone's scalp tingle.
"Great whirlpool, on the channel in front of us, there is a whirlpool!!"
"what?!!"
Hearing this, the captain's expression changed drastically. He pushed away the sailors around him, rushed to the front in three steps at a time, and then raised his binoculars to look into the distance.
The next moment, his complexion suddenly turned pale.
Fangzheng, who was not far away, stretched out his hand helplessly to cover his face.
Is this over yet?
