Gamers Are Fierce

Tens of thousands of scout bees were flying rapidly in the sky.

Their bodies are covered with light-colored scales that blend in with the color of the sky, and they fly among the clouds.

Under the surface of the ocean, there are even larger numbers of soldier bees, disguised as common fish, swimming around,

From time to time, soldiers would jump out of the water, grab the floating wood and planks on the water, and then sink into the sea.

There have indeed been sailing ships sailing through this area recently.

On the water surface and on the seabed, fragments of wooden crates and ceramic fragments remained, which looked like items left behind by a cargo ship.

However, the current specific status of the merchant ship cannot be determined.

“The initial island was surrounded by a ring of thunderstorms and violent winds.

Outside the thunderstorm ring, there is the windless sea area.

There has been a light or calm wind, the sea surface is stable, and the sea water flow has slowed down.

For marine life, windless sea areas are naturally not a problem.

However, for ancient navigation vehicles like mast sailing ships, entering the windless zone is more troublesome.

Li Ang thought silently,

In the real world, the 5° north and south latitudes near the equator and the 30° to 35° north and south latitudes were historically known as horse latitudes, another name for the calm zone.

The specific statement is that this area is a high-pressure windless zone.

A sailboat trapped in a calm zone cannot rely on the wind to sail, and can only be stuck in place, waiting for ocean currents or intermittent breezes.

Over time, the water storage on the ship was insufficient, and sailors were given priority. The horses carried on the ship would die due to lack of water and be thrown into the sea, hence the name an area full of horse carcasses.

Did this ship accidentally break into the windless zone, or did they have a clear purpose and have the confidence and ability to cross the windless zone?

Just as Li Ang was thinking, the scouts discovered something strange again. A strong smell of blood floated from the sea ahead.

————

This is a large sailing ship with four masts. The wooden hull is painted with waterproof and corrosion-resistant brown paint on both sides.

The mast canvas is white and beautiful, and even reflects the texture of fish scales when exposed to sunlight.

The canvases used on sailing ships are indeed biological materials.

They are the skin of a white giant bear that lives in the Caravel Mountains. This giant bear can grow up to seven meters and is located at the top of the ecological niche of the mountain forest.

Its skin can be divided into three layers. The outermost layer is tough, light, and water-proof. It is the best canvas material. Only a few ships are eligible to purchase and use it every year.

This ship named Atoka is one of them.

The Atoka was originally owned by the Good Navigation Company under the name of the Duke of Atoka.

A year ago, the former Duke of Atoka, Roy Goode, was charged with treason, and most of his property was confiscated and made national.

His younger brother, Edward Goode, took over the remainder of his brother's estate,

Only a four-masted sailing ship was left to the nephew as a preferential treatment for aristocratic relatives - according to the current aristocratic rules, children of a branch family who failed in the fight for family property would usually take a severance pay and sail to the new world.

In name, it is to develop a new industry for the family.

In fact, it means going to the new world to fend for yourself.

At this moment, the deck of the Atoka sailboat was filled with sailors.

These sailors look a little scruffy;

Their bodies exude body odor caused by not taking a shower for a long time, and greasy yellow marks appear on the collars of their clothes.

His beard was messy and his eyes were bloodshot.

Jonson Goode stood in front of the sailor,

A year ago, he was the only son of Duke Goode. He inherited the blond hair and handsome appearance inherited from his ancestors. He was of noble birth and received the best aristocratic education. He was engaged to the daughter of another duke in the empire. He was the king of the empire. A leader among the younger generation.

However, an accident shattered the trajectory of your life.

His father was convicted of treason, and the evidence was overwhelming and he was imprisoned.

He and his mother were kicked out of the castle that had been in the family for more than 200 years and lived on the streets. They had to sell their jewelry and rent a hotel.

His engagement partner, the princess, also lightly sent a document of repentance of the engagement. The document contained a check for one thousand pounds to pay for the repentance of the engagement.

And his uncle, Edward Goode, who was described by his elders as unlearned and hooligan, relied on his good personal relationship with the imperial bishop.

intercepted the remaining property of the Goode family,

From a split family without inheritance rights, he became the leader of the Good family.

Although the title of Duke of Atoka is still detained in the Imperial Archives due to various treason matters, it is estimated that it will not be long before Edward Goode can officially become the new Duke of Atoka and continue the Goode family.

call...

Thinking of this, Jonson Good couldn't help but take a deep breath. His face was thin, his hair and beard were messy, and he didn't look like the blond nobleman he once was.

He endured great humiliation and cashed the check for a thousand pounds contained in the document of regretting the marriage.

Use the money to hire sailors, buy goods,

Using the only property on hand, the Atoka sailing ship engaged in shipping trade between the New World and the Old World, slowly accumulating wealth.

He wants to take back everything his uncle took away from him,

Family honor, company property, personal reputation...

Even the truth about his father's treason.

Jonson Goode silently clenched his fists and looked forward.

At the bow of the Atoka sailing ship, there is a wooden statue of the goddess of the sea. Ships sailing back and forth use this method to pray for peace.

The captain of the Atoka sailboat, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with a beard and dark complexion, ordered his crew to pull a horse out of the cabin.

The horse was part of the merchant ship's cargo. It had a blindfold on its face and cloth tied to its feet to prevent it from moving around.

Zheng——

The captain drew out the scimitar from his waist. The packhorse seemed to sense an ominous aura and pedaled uneasily on the spot. However, it was firmly held down by the strong sailors on both sides and could not move.

Under the awed gazes of the sailors, the captain loudly recited a mantra to worship the goddess of the sea, raised his knife and cut off the horse's head.

A stream of blood spattered from the remains of the horse and sprinkled on the bow statue of the ship.

A large amount of blood followed the statue and fell into the sea, and the blush slowly spread in the windless sea water.

The horse that had lost its head twitched a few times.

The sailors on both sides squeezed the remains of the horse until all the blood and water were squeezed out before throwing the body into the ocean.

...how much longer.

Jonson Goode took a step forward and came to the captain and asked in a low voice.

If nothing goes wrong, half an hour.

The captain wiped the blood on his scimitar with a cloth and replied softly: If this ritual fails to summon the giant beast of the deep sea and carry us out of the windless zone,

You have to wait half a month before performing the ritual again.

Half a month...

Jonson Goode, the owner of the vessel, who had been traveling with him for a year, remained silent.

A month ago, the Atoka sailing ship strayed into the windless zone due to a storm and tsunami and became trapped here.

They have almost exhausted the fresh water supplies on the ship. If they wait for another half month, let alone a week, some of the sailors below may go crazy and mutiny.

Imperial ships are not without means to withstand sudden disasters, whether it is a magic scroll that can release strong winds out of thin air, or a magic ball that can filter seawater into fresh water,

They were all available in Good Navigation Company in the past, and they were all able to solve the current predicament.

But those things were also taken away by his uncle, leaving only an empty ship.

At the moment, I can only pray that this foreign captain hired at a high price can really do what he said,

Able to summon deep sea monsters through special rituals,

Let the behemoth of the deep sea carry the ship through the windless zone.

Jonson Goode drew a hexagram-shaped pattern on his chest and silently prayed to the goddess in the dark world.

The mission of reviving the family has not yet been completed, and the father's grievances have not been washed away.

The princess who regretted her marriage, the uncle who took away his family property, the so-called friend who made things worse,

He wants to take back everything he should have...

Just when Jonson Goode was immersed in the imagination of thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, and not to bully the young man into poverty, the sea surface covered with blood suddenly boiled,
