After successfully destroying the Black Pearl's bow, the crew finally heaved a sigh of relief. Following that, under Shawen's guidance, the cannons began bombarding the Black Pearl's vitals with a 'scalpel' style.
Shawen pointed out that the Black Pearl's vitals were either exceedingly difficult to repair, or simply couldn't be repaired by external forces. After such a bombardment, the legendary battleship could only reluctantly lower its speed. The gradually closing distance between the two sides could no longer shorten, and could only be tightly chased down.
Facing such a situation, Reef finally heaved a sigh of relief. Instead, Sheyan's complexion remained unsightly. This was because they had neglected one point – the quality of the cannons now couldn't be compared to the cannons of the past!
Under such high firing frequency, even the most advanced cannons could only fire continuously for half an hour. Following that, they had to clear the gunpowder dregs within the cannon chamber and allow the cannons to cool down naturally. Otherwise, an explosion would be the only outcome.
The cannons rumbled as black fumes incessantly drifted out from the Black Pearl. That was a sign of being struck by cannons. Nevertheless, under the tenacious and persistent repairs of the Black Pearl pirates, Sheyan and the crew weren't able to shake them off again. After all, those pirates were half-dead that didn't know fatigue and wouldn't die. Their most valiant aspect was their endurance in battle!
Finally, the cannons' cannons gradually became sparse, before gradually coming to a stop. Redbeard removed his pirate hat and helplessly shrugged his shoulders towards Sheyan.
"Boss, we've reached our limits. If we continue firing, we'll definitely experience a continuous explosion!"
Sheyan expressed his understanding. This was indeed something that couldn't be helped. Moreover, after nearly half an hour of high intensity exercise, the rowers in the lower cabin were starting to feel intense exhaustion.
If one were to describe the Dingyuan's condition as being at its peak when they first encountered the Black Pearl, then right now, the Dingyuan was resolutely and helplessly sliding towards the trough. This was the law of many things in this world. After the peak, there would be the trough. Only after passing through the trough's depression and rest, would there be a peak's eruption and intensity.
Yet at this moment, a clump of dense black clouds suddenly emerged above the Black Pearl. Then, the Black Pearl was enveloped by the black fog! Amidst the incomparably violent thunder and lightning, the Black Pearl was like a gigantic shark that could manipulate the sea currents and lightning. In a flash, the Black Pearl abruptly accelerated, baring its ghastly sharp teeth as it pounced towards the contestants!!
The swiftest warship of the Caribbean Sea, appeared to have reached its peak state in an instant. Within the span of a single breath, it had shrunk to half the length of the Dingyuan!
Their hard work and struggle for nearly an hour had been completely wiped out in just a few seconds! And now, they were still at least an hour away from the New World!
"This is … … the ship's special ability?" Reef's eyes widened. He suddenly looked at Shawn, his eyes seemingly about to spit fire.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
Shawn slowly shook his head.
"All legendary warships choose their own captains. Depending on the captain of the warship, the abilities of the legendary warship will also be different. For example, if Jack Sparrow is aboard the Black Pearl, the ship's special ability will be different. However, one thing is certain, no matter how the ability of the ship's captain changes, it won't deviate from the ship's characteristics. The Black Pearl is definitely related to speed, while the Queen Anne's Revenge is definitely related to dark magic … … "
At present, thunder and lightning flashed, as the black fog that enveloped the Black Pearl was about to invade the stern of the Dingyuan! Originally, it was a clear sky filled with white clouds and beautiful scenery. Yet in a flash, the black fog enveloped the ship, as dark clouds densely covered the sky. Dusk had just arrived, and twilight had already arrived. Amidst the furious roars of the sea, one could even hear the complacent roars of the Black Pearl's crew.
Sheyan slowly stood at the bow of the ship as he surveyed his surroundings. For some unknown reason, Sheyan's eyes actually emitted a desolate and deathly stillness. Hence, everyone quietened down.
A complete silence ensued.
Even their hearts were starting to turn icy cold.
"The Black Pearl isn't the only ship that possesses formidable abilities." Sheyan coldly declared. "What are you panicking for?"
When the pirates heard Sheyan's voice, they instantly had a feeling that no matter how formidable the enemy was, this man would still have a way to deal with them. Following that, Sheyan's mouth spat out four words.
"Blood sacrifice at once!"
Three unlucky pirates who had been imprisoned long ago were covered with black hoods as they were escorted forward. These three were death row convicts purchased by Sheyan from Tortuga, and had committed unpardonable crimes. Their throats were swiftly slit, as warm blood flowed wantonly onto the deck. Their still-beating hearts were dug out and placed onto the Baladine Bloodsail, before their corpses were rapidly absorbed into the Baladine Bloodsail.
Sheyan stood at the bow of the ship, as his hands gripped tightly onto the steering wheel. Taitish stood behind him, and one could observe the tendons and vessels of the Sea Giant that had fused with the ship once again emerging from the ship's hull! It appeared as though the Dingyuan had expanded by half its original size, as the oppressive thundering heartbeat dominated the surface of the sea.
Very quickly, the mist-shrouded silhouette of a colossal Sea Giant appeared above the Dingyuan. His hands gripped onto a massive anchor, as the soul of this Sea Giant named Barbaopo raised his head towards the sky, and roared soundlessly! Then, he forcefully smashed the anchor into the sea!
The entire sea started to tremble incomparably violently, as massive whirlpools emerged one after another! The sea roared wildly as though it was boiling. Revelry!!
This was the greatest trump card of the Dingyuan!
The most formidable ability that could contend against a legendary battleship! Revelry of the sea!
A revelry of the sea waves, and a region of terrifying tsunamis. Within the tsunami region, the Dingyuan's sailing speed was raised by 100%, while other ships and creatures would have their speed reduced by 50%!!
No matter how fast the Black Pearl was, after being forcibly reduced by 50%, it would inevitably slow down. In contrast, after the Dingyuan's sailing speed was raised by 100%, it was pushed to an utterly terrifying state!
The distance between the two ships, which had almost reached each other's sides, was instantly pulled apart.
Within this tsunami region, the Dingyuan was the king!
"Everyone evade! Make a sharp turn! "
Yet at this moment, Sheyan didn't seize the opportunity to allow his ship to flee. Instead, he exerted force with both hands to turn the steering wheel to the right! Then, he viciously pulled the steering wheel to its limits! The entire Dingyuan began to make a sharp turn on the sea surface. In this instance, the deck of the ship, which was renowned for its stability, was forcefully tilted to a dangerous 45% angle! Ropes that weren't secured in time, and wooden barrels started rolling towards the tilted side, before finally falling into the torrential waves of the sea.
"What is he trying to do?"
All the pirates clutched tightly onto their cover, as their minds churned with this thought!
The Dingyuan carved out a long white arc on the sea surface, as the ship entered a state of high-speed galloping! Its incomparably solid bow was like a reef, as it smashed against the torrential waves one after another! It even incited an incomparably mournful wind!
It seemed like hours had passed.
It seemed like only a few seconds had passed!
At this moment, amidst the violent turbulence of the wind and waves,
All the pirates could see a stubborn clump of black fog ahead, as well as an intense lightning bolt enveloping that clump of fog!
Following Sheyan's line of sight, they could distinctly perceive that within that black fog, amidst the dusk, was a ferocious gigantic beast, silently concealing itself.
As for the Dingyuan's incisive bow, it directly pointed towards that concealed gigantic beast!
That was the most renowned ship of the caribbean sea!!
The Black Pearl!!
"We've always been fleeing. We've always been afraid. We've been relentlessly pursued like dogs."
"Such cowardice, such humiliation, is like a nail piercing into our hearts!"
"But now, I want to tell them. I want to use my blood and courage to tell them that no one can suppress us. No ship can eat us!"
"Anyone who dares to offend us, will inevitably pay a disastrous price!"
Sheyan's voice resounded in the hearts of every pirate on the Dingyuan.
A will-o '-the-wisp luster surged violently in his eyes, as he roared towards the heavens! His hands furiously pointed towards the horizon!
All the crew members could feel their blood boiling. They hugged tightly onto anything they could hold tightly, while simultaneously responding to Sheyan's shouts. They screamed with all their might and screamed with unparalleled excitement!
"Crash!!!"
Their frenzied roars converged together, as though even the roars of the sea were suppressed!
A hundred metres,
Fifty metres,
Ten metres!
The horizon seemed to be filled with frenzied lightning bolts colliding violently!
Even the darkness of the heavens and earth was being absorbed!
When the Black Pearl discovered Sheyan's intentions, it was already too late to turn around. They could only rely on their weakest waist to withstand the collision of the Dingyuan's sturdy bow!!
A resounding sound akin to tearing cloth resounded.
Clank! Clank! The bow of the Dingyuan had forcefully slammed into the port side of the Black Pearl! At the front of the ship's bow, a sharp collision horn could be seen emitting a blinding brilliance!
That black grade storyline grade equipment 'Teji's Symbol' had finally displayed its might! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
