Chapter 16 The Storm is Coming
…
…
On the crack island in the sea monster cave, the first mate of the Sawshark was using his big, strong hands to press their captain's head into the sea.
Gurgle, gurgle~
This is usually a form of interrogation, but it is also the quickest way to calm down those crazy guys.
Now, their captain needs to calm down.
The first mate held the captain under the sea for a full minute before letting him go:
"Are you calm?"
The black-eyed captain's head popped out of the water and he immediately said:
"No! That black knife is my favorite, I can't lose it..."
Gulu, Gulu——
Before he could finish, the first mate suddenly pushed the black-eyed captain's head into the sea.
"There's always another knife."
The first mate looked indifferent, after all, it was not his knife.
If you’re still not awake, then take some more soaks in the sea water!
At this time, after checking the situation on the ship and treating the wounded, Little Crow came to the two men:
"The Sawshark is missing an emergency boat. He may have escaped on the emergency boat..."
The first mate blinked and asked softly with a hint of doubt:
"You mean, he really left the sea monster cave before us, ran to our ship, took our ship, and ran away?"
"Yes, although I don't quite believe it, but this is the current situation."
"How did you do that?"
The first mate looked bewildered.
"It's not impossible..."
The little crow pushed up his mask, looking as if he had understood the whole situation.
“Although the cases are very rare, some special species of parasitic marine mammals are able to parasitize humans for a long time, and some people even achieve a perfect symbiotic relationship.
Have you heard of Painted Skin? This is a relatively advanced parasitic sea beast that can parasitize humans for up to a month.
Although the parasitic sea beast used on him did not belong to this category, the possibility of mutation could not be ruled out.
After being parasitized, his speed and strength increased instead of decreased, and the parasitic sea beast gave him some of the sea beast's aura.
Therefore, the possibility exists that he escaped during the hallucination.”
This is the knowledge of deep-sea researchers... A hint of scholarly pride appeared on the corner of the little crow's mouth.
The first mate sighed:
"The sea beast mutated, which means that he really escaped with the treasure of the deep-sea hunter."
Treasure!
At this moment, Captain Black Eyes heard these two words and raised his head out of the water again:
"Chase! Set sail now! We must catch him! He is carrying my treasure..."
Gulu! Gulu!
Before he could finish his words, he was pushed into the water again by the first mate:
"What are you chasing? We are all so badly injured now! We must rest for a while.
Besides, in this vast ocean, such a long time has passed and we have no idea which direction it was running to.
He may have been infected by a sea beast and has already gone into the sea..."
The difficulty of finding someone on the sea is beyond imagination.
Moreover, according to legend, people who are parasitized by sea beasts will eventually step into the sea and become a part of the sea forever.
In other words, the parasitic sea beast may have manipulated Chen Qi into jumping into the sea.
The first mate didn't believe that Chen Qi was still alive.
"The sea beast heads for the water. If he cannot get rid of the infection of the parasitic sea beast, then falling into the sea is his only outcome...
But if he got away, he must be seriously injured..."
The little crow shook her head, reason told her that Chen Qi would not have a very good outcome.
But her sensibility still made her believe that Chen Qi was still alive.
"No! No! He won't die!"
At this moment, Captain Black Eyes raised his head again. Both his emotion and reason made him believe that Chen Qi was alive!
He roared loudly:
"That man is extraordinary. I believe in him! He has inherited the will of my Black Blade and will definitely survive!"
"Hmph, the inheritance will is here, are you two on good terms? You were stupid enough to give him the knife..."
The little crow raised the corners of his mouth and sneered fiercely, having completely forgotten about finding gold coins to help Chen Qi deal with the treasure chest monster.
This captain who always fails to fulfill his promises finally got his comeuppance!
"It's over, Captain, you are crazy..."
The first mate shook his head and pushed his head into the sea again.
The treasure that was so hard to find disappeared without a trace, causing the captain's mental state to become problematic.
The first mate gave Captain Black Eyes a serious warning:
"Captain, you need to think about the problem from a different perspective.
Don't think that the other party has run away, but the treasure of the deep-sea hunter has come out from under the blood-eye wall of the sea monster cave!
You can imagine that the treasure chest grew legs and arrived at a safe place!
Do you remember the days when we caught mandrakes? You can imagine each other as a mandrake. "
The black-eyed captain calmed down in the water for a while, raised his head and said:
“Yes… Even if he runs away, this treasure is much easier to get than the treasure chest in the Blood Eye Wall.
Isn't this equivalent to us getting a new treasure map!
My only worry is that if this news gets out, the higher-ups will come looking for us sooner or later, and then my treasure..."
Self-deception... The little crow looked at the two people speechlessly.
Too naive!
They completely ignored the possibility that Chen Qi would sell the treasure, and that Chen Qi would be targeted by other pirates and forced to hand over the treasure.
The first mate spoke again:
"Now, calm down, Captain."
The black-eyed captain nodded:
"Calm down, as long as we keep the news secret within our Black Whale Group, this treasure will be mine sooner or later... No!
It's from our Sawshark!
Come to think of it, I should thank him! Thank him for finding a new 'treasure map' for us!"
Seeing the self-deceiving words of Captain Black Eyes, Little Crow said:
"Oh, Captain, I have a good news and a bad news that I forgot to tell you. Which one do you want to hear?"
The black-eyed captain shook off the seawater from his head, his hair fluttering softly:
“Good news.”
“According to our information, he went to the restaurant to get food before escaping.
If he was completely controlled by the sea beast, he would not take such action.
This also shows that he has not been completely controlled by the sea beast and there is a possibility of survival."
There is a possibility of survival!
You know, if they want to find the treasure again, the premise of all this is based on Chen Qi being alive!
Good news! The black-eyed captain happily showed his shining gold teeth:
“I believe in him too, he won’t die easily!
What about the bad news?
The little crow snapped his fingers:
"There is good evidence that he was still sober, except for the food that was taken from the restaurant.
Also, you found an excuse to postpone this month's wages for ten crew members, and used your own money to buy the limited edition fishing rod, but it's gone too.
There is no way a sea beast could hold a fishing rod, which proves that he is indeed awake to a certain extent. "
"My fishing rod..."
That's a high-end brand! I used it to catch a 20-pound fish last time! Captain Black Eyes suddenly felt the blood rushing to his throat, and wanted to find his knife to chop someone...
I got a knife, I got a knife! ?
The blood is about to break through the brain——
Gulu, Gulu——
The first mate was quick to push the captain's head into the sea again.
"Calm down!"
“()”
Hahahaha... The little crow tried hard to cover her mouth and remain calm as a ship's doctor.
Well done! My hands!
She slowly turned around and walked towards the rocks on the seashore with brisk steps.
Waves splash across my boots and the sea breeze blows through my hair.
The little crow stood on the stone, its long black hair swaying gently in the wind.
She stared blankly towards the stern of the ship.
In the dim light, she seemed to see Chen Qi dragging his frail body controlled by the parasitic sea beast, relying on his willpower to board the boat with difficulty, and then embracing the sea and embracing freedom...
I experienced so much in this day.
She never expected that someone could leave such a deep impression on her in just one day.
“That’s great…”
She lifted up the crow mask with sea beast blood slightly, revealing her cute little face with a small scar.
Without this mask, her face is really not impressive enough to intimidate others.
When Little Crow was a child, he also fantasized about having a tough face, but after trying several methods, he found that masks were the most reliable.
As a ship's doctor and an undercover agent for three years, Little Crow had no feelings about the treasure of the deep-sea hunter.
After all, it was impossible for something of that level to fall into her possession, and at most she could be given two or three gold coins.
Therefore, she felt a slight joy, a little desire, and a little yearning for Chen Qi's escape...
It is rare to find people who can sail freely on the sea.
However, although their steam boat was of good quality, the most important factor in whether they could reach the shore alive was the weather.
"I hope the goddess of the sea will bless us and keep the weather in the sea calm."
The little crow felt the sea breeze and prayed.
The moment she finished praying, a bean-sized raindrop fell on her eye.
pain!
Why... According to the information from the navigator, the sky should be clear today.
She raised her head.
The storm seems to be coming...
Moreover, it doesn't seem to be a simple storm.
