Nevertheless, due to the existence of Sheyan's insane ability to plunder corpses, this resulted in an awkward situation for the Dingyuan when it came to the distribution of loot. The number of pirates plundering corpses in battle had greatly increased. Moreover, when calculating the distribution of spoils after battle, these corpses were actually included in the calculation. Moreover, the value of these corpses was considerable when they were converted into battle achievements.
At present, under the expectant gazes of his subordinates, Sheyan displayed his plundering ability one by one. Now that he had become a pirate captain, the success rate of his plundering had greatly increased. Firstly, he obtained a powerful robe for Taitish, which granted her the ability of 'Seven of Hearts' and 'Six of Hearts'.
Next, he fished up several glaring enchanted weapons, which were distributed to the pirates. These pirates couldn't help but cheer in jubilation, as they waved their weapons around excitedly. The other pirates couldn't help but feel envious, and were filled with motivation for their future lives.
Under Sheyan's command, the Dingyuan cruised towards the unknown and mysterious continent of Africa. Sheyan knew that for the return voyage, they would most likely have to rely on themselves to return here. Hence, he summoned Philip and Ol 'Seadog over. Without explaining anything to them, Sheyan had them memorize by rote every time they arrived at an anchorage, and made them memorize it at all costs.
The consequence of Sheyan's force-feeding style of teaching was that Philip and Ol 'Seadog would henceforth be relatively familiar with the sea route, but would still be completely ignorant of the navigator's tricks. Nevertheless, this was the result Sheyan wanted to achieve. Besides, once his subordinates' wings hardened, they would want to fly. He couldn't not guard against them.
After sailing for three days, Sheyan shockingly discovered that they would arrive at Africa in another two days. Compared to the nightmare realm's minimum time, it was actually several dozens of hours shorter. After pondering carefully, he understood the crux of the matter.
Firstly, the Dingyuan itself was exceedingly valiant. Whenever they encountered submerged reefs or whirlpools, as long as it wasn't particularly dangerous, they would directly crash into it. Thus, they didn't have to spend too much effort to detour around it.
Secondly, his pirate subordinates had already deduced many things from one instance. Utilizing their good relationship with Kraken Paul's' pedicure massage ', they cleverly borrowed the might of Paul's tiger. Thus, they had obtained plentiful experience in dealing with legendary creatures in the caribbean sea. If they encountered any Legendary creatures that they had the chance to deal with, they would naturally use force to fight them. At the same time, they would also provide nourishment for the Baladine Bloodsail.
But when he met those he couldn't handle, he would first sacrifice Paul the Sea Freak, to incinerate those excrescents that Paul had cut off during his' pedicure ', and then scatter them into the sea. What he meant was that they were not to be trifled with. They also had big shots backing them up. Usually, in 50% of cases, the legendary creatures would retreat. After all, Kraken Paul's reputation was quite reliable.
Afterwards, if those legendary creatures still didn't retreat, the pirates would chase out two oxen and kill them before throwing them into the sea as sacrifices. The chances of these creatures in the sea eating oxen was close to zero. After receiving such a delicious offering, it could be said that they gained face and dignity. Once this step was done, it was usually unimpeded.
Of course, as the saying went, 'Too many trees make too many trees, and too many people make too many monsters.' There were bound to be some legendary creatures in the sea who refused to give way. Hence, under such circumstances, they could only force their way in. First, they fired a few cannons, and then cast 'Ocean's Revelry' to escape. Relying on the Dingyuan's indomitable endurance, they could still escape from the territory of those monsters.
Relying on these heaven-blessed conditions, Sheyan would be able to reach Africa much earlier than the realm's expectations. This was something that was practically set in stone. At present, he deeply regretted that he shouldn't have stayed in the caribbean sea for a longer period of time. He should have worked hard to summon the Dingyuan to other planes. But now, there was no medicine for regret.
Hence, when there was still approximately 30 hours before the appointed time, Africa was already within sight. A simple 'Withering Port' appeared before their eyes.
Concurrently, Sheyan received a notification from the nightmare realm.
[You have arrived in Africa 31 hours earlier.]
[You have received additional rewards.]
[After entering the world of 'Resident Evil, Origin', you will receive an additional 31 hours x 2 = 62 hours of free stay time. Please enter the hidden world 'Resident Evil, Origin' within 10 hours. Otherwise, you will be forcefully transported back to the nightmare realm.]
[The crew of your flagship, the Dingyuan, has yet to obtain the authority to enter other planes. Therefore, it is best to restrict their activities within the boundaries of Port Qom. Leaving this boundary will result in varying degrees of damages.]
[Warning! Warning! The crew of your flagship, the Dingyuan, has yet to obtain the authority to enter other planes. Once they enter the region of the hidden world, 'Resident Evil, Origin', they will definitely perish.]
At present, the Dingyuan was gradually docking at the pier of Port Qom. This place could be described as exceedingly simple and crude. Don't even mention Port Royal, it couldn't even be compared to the other port that pirates didn't wish to visit.
From Sheyan's perspective, he could see that the buildings in this port were all small houses with pointed roofs built from branches. The main structure of the houses was circular, and the surface was pasted with banana leaves and yellow soil. The supporting wooden sticks were exposed where the yellow soil was peeled off. They looked like ribs that were about to decay, giving off a dilapidated and mysterious atmosphere. Sheyan's eyes widened.
These little houses with pointed roofs were constructed in an exceedingly disorderly manner. Only a large empty plot of land was left at the center of the port, where a humongous wooden totem was erected. The shape of the totem resembled the head of an eagle, but its mouth was spitting out the tongue of a venomous snake, as well as razor-sharp fangs. However, because the surface of this totem was covered in dust and corroded by vermin, it didn't appear imposing, but instead, gave off a comical vibe.
It was probably dinnertime at present. Within the empty plot of land of the village, several women with nose rings could be seen strolling around with water jugs. Spirals of cooking smoke could be seen rising from the rear of the village. Most of the men among them had bow-legged legs, and when they walked, they gave off a peculiar impression of crabs.
Noticing the arrival of Sheyan's ship, these natives weren't flustered at all. On the contrary, they were joyous and friendly, as they continuously tossed tree trunks into the air. It appeared as though they were conducting a celebration. Very quickly, dozens of natives clustered around an old man with a face painted with oil paint, and a multicolored ornament on his head, as they arrived at the pier.
Sheyan took note of the old man's walking stick, where a venomous snake was spitting out a red tongue, coiling around it. This venomous snake wasn't outstanding in appearance, and appeared dusky as it coiled around the snake walking stick, resembling a hanging ring. Although he was cosplaying as Ouyang Feng, his aged appearance wasn't too far off from that of the Western Venom.
Normally, such matters of negotiation would be handled by the experienced and knowledgeable Ol 'Seadog. Sheyan strolled forward, and first presented a small mirror. Then, he consecutively switched to several languages, before finally engaging in a conversation with the Ol' Seadog.
After a short while, Ol 'Seadog ordered his men to carry a barrel of rum, and invited the guests from afar to drink. This undoubtedly represented the complete openness of the village. Seadog seized the opportunity of these natives beaming with joy, and ran over to report to Sheyan.
"The history of this port is rather ancient, and the natives say it has existed for centuries. It is said that those who occupy this port would receive the blessings of the heavens, and would occasionally receive friendly envoys from the other side of the sea, exchanging precious items for their trash. Therefore, the surrounding tribes would frequently wage war for the sake of controlling this port. Presently, this tribe has occupied this port for five years, and has already traded with the outside world once or twice. Therefore, they aren't panicking, and believe us outsiders to be friendly envoys. Therefore, they wouldn't harbor any hostility towards us."
Sheyan nodded and replied.
"Excellent, it appears the goods we are transporting back this time will surely be massive. The taxes we will pay will surely make Governor Swann of Port Royal happy."
Ol 'Seadog continued.
"According to their Chieftain, the last time a large ship arrived was four years ago. Therefore, their specialties have accumulated considerably. Fortunately, we brought along sufficient rum and cloth. Apart from that, roughly a day's journey inland to the west of this port, is an exceedingly vast swamp. According to the Chieftain, that place known as Ndipaya is infested with savage barbarians. It is said that they devour the flesh of their enemies, devouring their souls and strength. Furthermore, their Chieftain had attained immortal and indestructible strength through sacrificial rituals. Nobody has ever returned alive from that place. That is all the suspicious information I've gathered. "
Sheyan and Reef glanced at each other, knowing that this was probably their destination. Sheyan made a brief calculation. An ordinary person's movement speed on flat ground was roughly 5 km/h. These natives appeared to possess physiques similar to humans of the present world. Even if they were natives, traversing mountains and ridges, traversing through treacherous terrain, they couldn't possibly exceed the walking speed of an ordinary person.
As for the day's journey mentioned by the natives, it definitely wasn't a 24 hour trek, but roughly 10 hours. Therefore, their destination should be roughly 50 to 100 km away from this port. Nevertheless, contestants could still reach a speed of 30 km/h in vile environments. Hence, they still had sufficient time.
After pondering a little, Sheyan gathered all the pirates and informed them that this was a cursed continent. If there weren't any accidents, it was best not to disembark. Even if they wanted to disembark, they mustn't stray beyond the boundaries of the village. At least, they would be safe within the boundaries of the village. (To be continued.)
