Perhaps it was an exaggeration to say that it exploded.
However, those few newbies who performed excessively on the battlefield had their blood vessels bulging out from their bodies. In a blink of an eye, they were covered in blood.
The pupils of those bloodshot eyes had disappeared, leaving behind only a ghastly white.
After the lookout shouted out a warning.
On the Queen.
Everyone stopped what they were doing.
Whether it was those who were nibbling on black bread, those who were secretly drinking rum to quench their thirst, those who were lying on the deck dozing off, or those who were trying to curry favor with Wang Tiandi by combing his messy fur … everyone stopped what they were doing.
Wang Tiandi opened his eyes in dissatisfaction.
"Woof woof!"
However, after the dog opened his eyes, he did not unreasonably swipe his paw at the 'dog hair combing specialist'. Carrying some curiosity, his four legs strode forward. In a blink of an eye, he scuttled to Irin's side. Stretching out his dog head, he gazed out of the ship.
Well, he was just a dog, not a real dog. He was still very reasonable.
Irin felt that the atmosphere was strangely heavy. She whispered to the experienced Ruth beside her, "What is a ship grave?"
As she asked, the two of them approached the bow of the ship.
Ruth's expression was similarly heavy. She no longer cared about secretly throwing flirtatious glances at Elizabeth Ling. She hurried to the side of the railing and took out a telescope. Then, she held her breath and carefully observed.
Telescope?
Irin recalled that she seemed to have such a plaything as well.
Hence, Irin secretly crushed her card and took out one of the small tools she had plundered from Tortuga Island.
[Exquisite Military Monocular].
It did not have any special properties. It was just a telescope.
Irin squinted her eyes and gazed into the distance.
She could only see the wreckage of countless ships floating on the sea surface like corpses.
Those wreckage of the ships had long been unrecognizable. They were scattered all over the place. Some of the wreckage even had their sturdy keel broken into pieces. It was unknown what kind of power had caused this, but it looked extremely terrifying.
"It's a pirate flag! That's not right … there's also a navy flag! "
Ruth's pupils shrunk. On top of a few of the ship wreckage, she could roughly identify the possible origins of these ships before they were complete.
Very soon.
After observing for a while, Ruth identified the direction of the wind. She knew that Irin did not know much about navigation, and she was too lazy to ask for Irin's permission. She quickly issued a series of orders.
"Little ones, pay attention! Keep your spirits up! We are about to pass through the Ship's Tomb! "
"Lower the sail! Slow down! Slow down! "
"All sailors, f * cking stay in your positions and don't run around! Be prepared to evade at any time! "
"All gunners in position! Prepare to reload! "
"…"
Following Ruth's instructions, all the sailors didn't dare slack off when they learned that the Queen was about to pass through the "ship's tomb." Even the slightly tipsy pirates instantly sobered up and busied themselves with their respective positions on the deck and in the cabins.
It had to be said that although the Irin's method of recruiting crew was somewhat unique, but through the crew panel, although the loyalty of the pirates recruited by the Irin wasn't high, but other than Flooring Charlie, most of the pirates weren't mediocre, they were all experienced pirates.
At the very least, if he killed it, his Chaos Value wouldn't be low.
After lowering the sail, the Queen's speed suddenly slowed down.
Ruth's plan was obvious. Follow the established course and pass through the Ship's Tomb.
This was because after Ruth determined the direction and strength of the surrounding currents, she realized that even if the current retreated, it was already too late. The waves caused by the sudden turn would instead cause too much movement.
Five minutes later.
The slowly moving Queen was about to enter the Ship's Tomb.
Without Ruth's reminder, all the sailors who specialized in combat were equipped with a flintlock in one hand and a scimitar in the other. They were vigilant of their surroundings.
But compared to their previous experience of passing through the Ship's Tomb, they were more confident now.
After all, the captain of this ship was a skeleton gentleman who knew "Black Witchcraft"!
He wasn't an ordinary pirate!
Even if something emerged from the bottom of the sea, they believed that the skeleton gentleman captain who knew "Black Witchcraft" would definitely be able to push it back into the sea.
Irin saw that the atmosphere was heavy, she didn't dare to be negligent and released her senses.
Yes, there was no problem with the "safety measures" that tied the wooden barrels together.
Irin was relieved.
The Queen was careful.
The sailors were also careful.
The atmosphere on the ship was strangely quiet.
Ka Ka Ka.
Around the ship, the sound of waves hitting the ship and the sound of the ship hitting the wreckage could be heard from time to time.
The sea area where the Queen was located had long been away from land. The experienced pirates were not naive enough to think that this vast expanse of wreckage was as simple as hitting a reef.
Ruth took a deep breath. Seeing that there were no changes for the time being, she started to explain to Irin.
However, before Ruth explained, Yi Lin understood the meaning of the "ship's grave" as the name implied.
The Ship's Tomb.
But for some reason, including Ruth, everyone's expression was so tense. The atmosphere was so heavy.
"If I'm not wrong, these ships should be left behind by a fleet of naval warships when they were exterminating the pirates."
"Only dense wreckage of ships can form a Ship's Tomb. After a long time of being washed by the sea, the ship's wreckage would be scattered to every corner of the sea. Most of them would be washed ashore by the tide or sink to the bottom of the sea … With such a large number of ship's wreckage, it means that a disaster happened here not long ago."
"If I'm not wrong, the disaster happened here not more than three days ago."
Irin looked at Ruth strangely. "Aren't you running a pub? Why are you so familiar with this? "
Ruth rolled her eyes. She did not explain why she was so familiar with it. Instead, she continued to explain on the topic of the Ship's Tomb.
"And this kind of disaster that destroyed both fleets so thoroughly, other than a natural disaster, it could be some kind of sea monster from the deep sea … or …"
Ruth's voice gradually trailed off. Finally, she seemed to be worried about something. She looked around and quickly lowered her voice. "Anyway, no matter what, if it's a hurricane or something like that, then it's fine. If it's a sea monster or something like that … it's very likely that 'that thing' hasn't left the sea area yet. So we have to be careful."
Irin thought for a moment and asked the experienced Ruth, "Why don't we turn around and leave this place?"
Ruth knew that her baby Elizabeth Ling was an idiot at sailing. She was not surprised that Irin would ask this question.
She smiled and explained, "Haha, you don't understand. If it's really a sea monster, our current course is following the direction of the sea current and wind. If we forcefully sail against the sea current, it's very likely that the small waves and tides will disturb 'it' … "
"Understood."
After listening to Ruth's explanation, Irin more or less understood.
In other words, once they encountered the Ship's Tomb, it meant that there was a high possibility that some kind of sea monster was hiding in the sea area around the Ship's Tomb. It was even more likely that the sea monster had not eaten its fill and was still wandering around nearby.
Generally speaking, if such a small boat passed by quietly, the sea monster might not care. However, if it caused too much noise and disturbed the rest of the sea monster, it was very likely that the Queen would join this "big family of ship graveyards" in the next second.
It was no wonder that the experienced pirates and sailors immediately became quiet when they approached the Ship's Tomb. They did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
It was not Irin's fault.
In terms of sailing experience, perhaps even Charlie, who was the "Combat Floor" of the Queen, was dozens of streets ahead of Irin.
On this ship, in terms of sailing experience, Irin, the captain, was undoubtedly ranked second from the bottom.
Without a doubt, the first from the bottom should be Wang Tiandi.
Wang Tiandi's dog head moved forward and took a few glances. After it did not seem to see anything interesting, it simply lay down beside Irin's feet, shook its fur, and basked in the sun.
Irin speechlessly looked at the dog beside his feet.
Did it really think of itself as the ship's mascot?
Irin was really curious about how this dog had passed the previous trials in the Inner World.
He remembered that in the other timeline, Irin had never heard of Wang Tiandi and had never met him in the trials.
Wait.
There were three possibilities.
First, in the other timeline, Wang Tiandi had died in advance.
Second, because of some butterfly effect after Irin's rebirth, a dog became an apostle.
Third, if Wang Tiandi's trajectory did not change … then in the other timeline, Wang Tiandi's level was far beyond Irin's imagination.
There was no need to think too much about the dog for now.
The scope of this ship tomb was beyond everyone's imagination.
While everyone had their own plans, the Queen carefully passed through the ship tomb.
A few drops of sweat appeared on Ruth's forehead. She kept looking ahead with the monocular and calculated the scope of the ship tomb on the nautical chart.
Half an hour later.
There was finally a sea area without ship wreckages ahead.
However, the sea monster that everyone had imagined did not appear.
Everyone was overjoyed.
No one wanted to witness the terror of the sea monster.
Even if some people had never seen it in their entire lives, they did not want to use their lives to experience it.
No one discovered it.
At the bow of the ship.
Sachs's body trembled slightly. His gaze was fixed on the various ship wreckages floating around the Queen. His expression was complicated.
"Hmm?"
Irin noticed that there were some strange marks on these ship wreckages.
Some ship wreckages actually had an arc-shaped gap. The edges were sharp, as if they had been burned by something. They were as black as charcoal.
In Irin's impression, it seemed that there was only …
Irin's face darkened. His intuition told him that it should not be possible.
Finally.
When the Queen had completely left the "ship tomb" area, until the spectacular ship wreckage gradually disappeared from the sea level, all the pirates on the Queen breathed a sigh of relief. They gulped down the rum in large mouthfuls.
For pirates, rum was their eternal companion.
They drank when they were happy, drank when they were happy, drank when they were satisfied, drank when their wife died, drank when they found treasure … In short, life on the sea could be without women, but they could never stop drinking rum.
After a false alarm.
Irin silently returned to the cabin.
Wang Tiandi was basking in the sun outside, and there were lookouts on the mast. Generally speaking, life on the sea was boring and boring. If there were no accidents, it would be very boring.
Irin silently made another cross on the calendar.
When Wang Bronzebeard led the Griffin Knights out, the defeated Alliance soldiers once again had high morale and cheered.
This time..,
It was their turn!
In the air.
Gouzi, Oda Wu, and Irin were slightly stunned. Then, they smiled at the same time.
They killed the boss!
