Chapter 1293: Returning to devil maw Island (3)

Translator: 549690339 

Even though it had already fallen apart, devil’s mouth Island was still an unknown area. Just from the landing point, it was impossible to determine how big this “broken island” was.

In addition, the island’s fatal environmental factors also made it difficult to be careless, so it was necessary to explore the way.

Five minutes after entering the water, the team led by garlic had safely passed the shallow beach in front of the Queen’s revenge.

Because there was no fog on the sea and there was a lamp in the garlic’s hand, the Pirates on the big ship could directly see the actions of those people on the small ship.

After a short pause, garlic was the first to step onto the beach with the skull Lantern in his hand.

There was a saying among the Pirates,”never step on a strange land barefooted.”

Even though he wasn’t an executive, garlic was still a senior member of the Blackbeard Pirates, so it was impossible for him not to have heard of this. Therefore, when he was preparing the boat, he had deliberately put on a pair of loose boots.

Some people might find it strange. This wasn’t a mountain of daggers or a sea of flames. It was just a beach. So what if he stepped on it barefooted?

The answer was …

Wuwuwuwu

The garlic had only stood on the shore for about three seconds when everyone on the boat heard a sound similar to teppanyaki.

The garlic’s reaction was extremely fast. As soon as the sound was heard, he turned around and pounced back to the boat … Then, he only placed his body horizontally on the boat, and his two feet hung outside the side of the boat.

“It’s the locust sand! Hurry up and pick it up with your knife!” The garlic-man was only halfway through his pounce when he shouted.

Madi, who was sitting at the bow of the ship, was also quick to react. He immediately drew his scimitar from his waist and cut the garlic’s shoes into pieces with a few strokes. After the sand-stained shoes were broken into several pieces and fell into the water, the garlic turned over again, bent his knees into the water, and washed his feet in the sea at a very fast speed. Then, he retracted his legs and returned to the boat.

“Tsk … How F * cking unlucky,” After they were out of danger, garlic sat down on the boat and snorted.”Let’s go back,” he ordered.”There’s no way to land here.”

The crew on the boat didn’t say much, picked up the oars, and turned back.

On the other side …

The players who saw this scene naturally had doubts. Snow was the first to ask,””Then what’s the matter? Was there something on the beach? Why did you come back before you even reached the shore?”

Feng bujue and ambitionist did not know what was going on, so they did not answer immediately.

“It looks like the ‘Locust sand’.” However, the experienced Blackbeard had already seen through it.

“Oh?” Feng bujue played along and asked,”could it be that the sand on the beach is some kind of corrosive substance?”

“It’s not ‘matter’, but ‘animal’.” Blackbeard replied,”‘Locust sand’ is an animal that looks very much like ordinary sand.”

“Let me guess …” Snow smiled for some reason.”Or a carnivore?”

“Not only meat, but they also eat fur and fabrics. The digested matter … Will be converted into new Locust sand in a certain proportion.” Blackbeard replied.

“Tsk.” When Feng bujue heard that, he almost instinctively added,”this is good stuff, we can use it.”

“Ha …” Hearing this, Blackbeard seemed to have thought of something and continued with great interest,”a long time ago, there was a guy in my pirate group who was involved in architectural design … I can’t remember his name … I only remember that he used to design prisons and torture devices for tyrants in a small country.” Blackbeard looked at brother Jue and said,”in any case, that guy’s thinking is very similar to yours. At his suggestion, I built a ‘Locust sandpit’ on the ship to deal with corpses. He had to say … That pool was indeed quite convenient. As long as we throw the captives in … In less than a minute, even their clothes will be gone, and the metal, wood, paper, and other things on their bodies will be intact. ”

“I’m guessing … The story is only halfway through,” Ambitionist had already guessed something from Blackbeard’s words (he was speaking in English).

Blackbeard laughed again.”Ha … More than half. Because the next part will be the end.” He paused for a second and continued,”a month after the pool was built, on a stormy afternoon, the designer accidentally … Fell into it. Hehe … He used his life to tell me two things. One, he seemed to have forgotten to design a device for the pool that could be used for emergency rescue in the event of an accident. Secondly, it’s not a good idea to raise Locust sand on a wavering ship. ”

“Okay, the story is very touching.” Feng bujue did not seem to be interested in Blackbeard’s story.”Well … You don’t mind if I collect some animal samples as a memento, do you?”

“Ha!” ‘As a memento …’ Blackbeard thought these words were very funny.

In a sense, it was indeed very funny.

“Do as you wish. Do you want me to give you a small boat?” Blackbeard replied.

“No need, I have my own way to get there.” “But I need a container that can be used to store Locust sand,” Feng bujue said.

“Oh …” Blackbeard responded. He raised his hand and grabbed at the air. In the blink of an eye, a glass bottle appeared in his hand.

The players had seen the bottle before. It was the bottle that Blackbeard had prepared to store the brown algae in.

“Hmm …” Feng bujue took the glass bottle from Blackbeard, who had a burning gaze. He wanted to say,”you’re being a little petty, aren’t you?” but after some thought, he swallowed the words back.

…………

Several minutes later, brother garlic’s boat returned, and Feng bujue had already used moonwalk to make a round trip to the beach.

Because brother Jue’s void walk had the special effect of ‘standing in mid-air for a while’, there was almost no difficulty or danger in collecting the sand, and he finished it very quickly.

After brother garlic briefly explained the situation to the captain, Blackbeard ordered the Pirates to anchor and change their landing point.

However … Just as they were about to load the anchor, an unexpected situation occurred.

“Use more strength, you brats! Did you not eat your fill?” Mr. VOG, whom the players had met below the deck, was now on the deck, commanding the sailors to lift the anchor.

On the multi-mast sailboat, there was naturally no anchor machine (equipment to roll back the anchor) used by modern ships. 90% of the work on the ship was done by manpower, and the lifting of the anchor was no exception.

For the Blackbeard Pirates, this was not a difficult task. Some officers did not even need a shaft (which could be understood as a manually-driven anchor machine). They could pull the anchor up by brute force.

But now, on this Island, where the seabed wasn’t too deep, the sailors couldn’t pull up the anchor even with all their strength.

“Let me do it!” Just as the sailors in charge of weighing the anchor were in trouble, brother bottle opener, who had lost in the first round of the deck fighting tournament, stood up.

Even though he had lost in the boxing match, he was still a very strong fighter, especially in terms of “strength.” He was confident that his corkscrew was no less than some of the officers on the ship.

“Oh, it’s you, kid. You’ve come at the right time.” Seeing that it was a bottle opener coming over to help, VOG quickly called for the minions to move aside.”Get up and let him do it.”

The bottle opener wasn’t careless either. After the crowd made some space, he ignored the rotation shaft to close the anchor and directly grabbed the chain to the anchor, and pulled it with a breath.

His yank was really effective …

The anchor didn’t move at all, but the ship tilted a few degrees.

“Ah!” A few seconds later, the corkscrew was obviously out of strength. He yelped, let go of his hand, and sat on the ground.”Drink! What’s going on?”

Not only him, but the people around him were also surprised and bewildered. Even the ship had moved, but the anchor still hadn’t moved … That must have had nothing to do with whether the sailors had used their strength or not.

“The anchor is stuck in the water by something.” At this moment, ambitionist walked over and gave the Pirates a possible hypothesis.

VOG turned to look at him but didn’t respond.

However, he still accepted ambitionist’s advice and said to the Pirates,””Did you all hear that? Why are you still standing there? Let’s go down and take a look. ”

When the voice fell, several Pirates near the side of the ship looked at each other. After a few seconds of hesitation, four people flipped over the side of the ship and jumped into the water.

On Blackbeard’s ship, even the sailors at the bottom of the hierarchy had their own unique skills. Diving from a high platform (there was still some distance between the deck and the surface of the water) was not a problem at all. Staying underwater for three to five minutes was also a basic task.

However, not everyone could see in the darkness under the sea. The four people who had just jumped into the water could only see things within two meters of them at most. They could not be compared to urdini, who had sacrificed himself during the day, but they were still much better than ordinary people.

…………

Time passed while they waited …

As the four of them spent more time in the sea, the thoughts and state of mind of the people on the deck were also changing subtly.

“I can’t wait any longer.” Suddenly, Feng bujue walked over and said,”I’ll go down and take a look too.”

The Pirates and players ‘gazes were instantly attracted to him. Even Blackbeard, who was standing in the distance, could not help but look over.

“Well … This is a little surprising …” Snow could not help but whisper.”In this situation where there is only danger and no benefit, he actually stepped forward …”

“Ha … I’ve long given up on the idea of trying to figure him out.” When ambitionist heard this, he chuckled and lowered his voice.

As they spoke, brother Jue was ready to go.

He took out his [oxygen pipe], put it in his mouth, and climbed up to the side of the ship without a word.

Two seconds later, under everyone’s gaze, Feng bujue stood up on the side of the ship. Then, he opened his arms and fell forward … Using the action of a ‘leap of faith’, he jumped into the cold sea of chaos in front of him.
