Chapter 20 The Cursed Land
The more Tiyadom was eager to prove her strength, it meant that her situation was becoming increasingly endangered. No wonder Barbosa was so impatient when she promised to resurrect her.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity that I don't have any interest in killing you, that will only make the gains less than the loss."
Zhang Yang had no intention of killing Tiyadom. After finalizing the conditions for the deal with Jack, he threw Wiltner to Jack. Taking advantage of Jack's opportunity to recruit crew members, Zhang Yang also recruited a group of crew members again. He went out to sea with the Black Pearl early the next morning, and waited until he got the Sea God to drive back.
There is a little difference from the plot. Jack did not meet Elizabeth disguised as a man on this trip, and former commander James Norrington. Everything seemed to be very calm, but Zhang Yang began to be cautious in his heart. These two plot tasks did not appear, which means that the plot had undergone a subtle change.
The next morning.
Zhang Yang, Cindy and others boarded the Black Pearl together. The food and fresh water have been replenished. Zhang Yang's crew reached 20, and Jack's crew totaled 35, which did not exceed the Black Pearl's manned cap.
"Ahh, my dear compass, what do you want the most?"
The compass style in Jack's hand was very old, but this was a special item that Tiyadom gave to Jack. The magical compass could point to the position where Jack wanted the most. The pointer in the compass began to rotate quickly and then stopped in the northeast direction.
"Gibbs, we have a course, let's go!"
The leader is still Jack at this moment, and Zhang Yang's crew members are temporarily obeying management. Zhang Yang is gesturing the navigation chart in the captain's room. Wiltner is awake at this moment. Gibbs told him about what happened last night, and he dared not be alone with Zhang Yang at this moment. He ran out in shame.
"Ah, Will, you don't know how dangerous it was last night. The sword was only 0.01 inches from your neck, and Jack stopped Zhang Yang. You didn't see how cruel Zhang Yang looked at that time..."
Gibbs held his small wine pot and told Will about what happened last night, which made Wiltner sweat behind him, and he felt a little afraid of Zhang Yang.
"You said we are going to Hemlus this time?"
"Yes, that cursed place. Even the three pirate groups were destroyed there. I really don't know how Jack escaped last time."
"Because I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."
Jack Sparrow is an interesting person who likes to call himself a captain. At this moment, he interrupted when he heard the conversation between the two, then looked at Zhang Yang in the captain's room and said helplessly.
"This guy is so stubborn. He occupied my captain's room, and the key is in his hands... I can't think of anything to compensate him except God of War. Will, now we don't owe each other."
The three of them stood at the bow of the boat, chatting while taking the helm. Time passed by. About four hours later, Jack saw a small piece of land in his telescope. It was actually a small island, but Jack stubbornly called it land.
"We arrived, Hemlus ahead, everyone cheered up. It was dangerous there!"
Cindy informed Zhang Yang, and the two came to the bow of the boat together. With the help of a telescope, Zhang Yang saw the island in the distance. It looked no different from an ordinary island, but there was a faint gray mist outside, making it impossible for people to see the scene inside clearly.
"It's noon now, why is there fog on that island?"
"That's miasma. Legend has it that it was released by the corpses on the island. It's nothing during the day, but it will turn into a very poisonous place at night and can kill instantly. It's noon now, and we have five hours. In five hours, we must leave from it, otherwise we will die."
Jack's words made everyone feel cold. As the Black Pearl approached, he smiled. Zhang Yang realized that this was a circular island, like a crescent moon, with a gap in the middle leading directly to the inside, and the surroundings were blocked by fog and mountains.
"You dodge and I'll take the helm, be careful not to get too close to the side of the ship, if you don't want to die."
As he got closer to the island, Jack's face looked solemn. He held the compass in one hand to check the direction, and controlled the rudder with the other hand to control the direction of the ship's advance.
"We're meeting again... Hemlus!"
With Jack's murmur, the Black Pearl drove into the mist.
Strangely, it was clearly noon at this moment. After entering this fog, it was as if it had entered another space. The scorching sun above my head disappeared, and the surrounding air instantly became cold, and I could only hear the sound of running water around the boat.
A gloomy breath spread beside everyone. Looking around, there was a gray mist, and nothing could be seen. Everyone leaned back together in groups of three or three, Zhang Yang and Jack stood at the bow of the boat.
"This place is really strange."
Zhang Yang frowned and sailed on the sea. If he could not see the direction and water, he might run into the reef or sink in other dangers. At this moment, the visible conditions were extremely poor, and he could not see anything clearly half a meter away from the hull. If Jack had not had that magical compass, he might not have found the intersection after coming in.
"God of War...,God of War...I need a route to reach God of War safely."
Jack muttered softly, and the pointer on the compass changed direction from time to time. Jack turned the rudder quickly. After a while, the fog in front of everyone suddenly faded, as if a fog barrier had rushed out, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.
"It's a shipwreck!"
"So many shipwrecks, this..., are we in Shipwreck Bay?"
"What kind of shipwreck Bay is Hemlus. These shipwrecks have all sunk here before!"
Everyone was talking, and there was a lot of exclamation in the middle.
As the fog disappeared, a wide area of water appeared in front of everyone, with debris or corners of ships everywhere. At first glance, the water surface was densely filled with sunken warships!
Zhang Yang looked back and saw that the thick gray mist only surrounded the island, like a thick wall protecting the interior of Hemlus. Suddenly, Gibbs pointed at a ship and exclaimed.
"Look, that's the symbol of the Vikings! It's the Viking Pirates!"
On the bow of a ship exposed to the water, you can see a red horn helmet painted with special red paint, exuding a strong sense of domineeringness and barbarity.
Everyone saw this scene. Gibbs and Jack had been together for the longest time and were knowledgeable, but they still exclaimed in surprise at this moment, which showed how shocked the Viking Pirates were.
"Viking Pirates."
Jack bowed slightly to the ship to express his respect. This is the tradition of pirates. The Black Pearl continued to advance. The distribution of these wrecks was very irregular, but it looked like a large fleet that was hit by a strong storm. Jack flexibly controlled the Black Pearl to avoid a reef slightly exposed to the water.
Zhang Yang noticed that there was a thin layer of clouds in the sky at this moment, but it was getting thicker and darker at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it dimmed at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
"Everyone is careful, the weather here is strange! A storm is coming!"
Gibbs also discovered this and warned everyone. In almost less than a minute, Zhang Yang saw the thin layer of clouds, gathering into a huge dark and thick cumulonimbus cloud. Blue lightning flashed under the clouds, and a thunder would have resounded in the sky. Zhang Yang's face felt a scent of wind.
"It's going to be windy!"
Not long after, the surrounding wind suddenly became stronger and then turned into a strong wind. At the same time, dense raindrops began to fall in the sky, and a tropical storm happened.
At this time, the hull of the Black Pearl seemed to shake, and then Zhang Yang felt that the ship had changed. The storm was blowing in the opposite direction, as if he wanted to blow the Black Pearl back into the wreck behind, or sink into the thick fog.
"In case of severe storms, the legendary attribute of the Black Pearl is turned on, and the speed bonus is 35%. Because it is a headwind state, the driving speed bonus is 50%.
Zhang Yang opened his eyes wide and saw Jack standing next to the rudder, steadily grasping the rudder, as if he didn't care about this storm at all. Although it was a storm and the surrounding lightning and thunder were roaring around him, the Black Pearl still maintained a steady pace of progress.
"roar--"
It seemed as if the storm had no effect on the speed of the Black Pearl. The sound of the wind in everyone's ears quickly became louder, like a huge monster roaring. At the same time, the hull began to shake violently, but the sea water began to fluctuate up and down under the influence of the storm, and the Black Pearl began to shake violently.
This is the problem of single attributes. The legendary attributes of the Black Pearl are the speed of all strengthening. Once you encounter such a large fluctuation in the sea surface, you can only leave it to fate. Zhang Yang noticed that Jack's face became serious.
"Bugger, if we continue like this, even if we don't get blown back, we may be photographed by the sea and sink on the reef. Zhang Yang, you and I will be at the helm, I can't catch you."
One hand was placed on the rudder, and the rudder, which was originally forced by the huge force of the sea water, immediately stopped rotating, as if there was a huge force on the hand.
Jack looked at Zhang Yang, but saw a gray object appearing out of thin air in Zhang Yang's hand.
"Now, let me help you."
"You used the captain's statue and currently equipped the ship: Black Pearl, is it equipped?"
"yes!"
"The captain's statue has been equipped, the bonus effect is turned on. The current situation is in a harsh storm weather, the protection effect is doubled, and the effect of the four basic attributes of the ship is increased by 10%!"
