Chapter 1000 Moving on
The so-called "ship hunting ground" is a sea area outside Kadein Island with moderate water temperature and rich species. (The sea water temperature here is quite comfortable, the seabed is not far from the sea surface, and being able to bathe in sufficient sunlight constitutes a necessary condition for abundant products. We all know that if plants and microorganisms grow well, more herbivores will gather. With more herbivores, animals at the top of the food chain will slowly gather. This is the so-called ecological circle. Similarly, because it is far away from the six major areas on both sides of the Chenhai Sea, it is rarely visited, and no national-level forces will come here to regularly clear the sea monsters living here. Gradually, this place has become a paradise for these giant beasts in the sea.
Of course, for this group of large sea beasts living at the top of the ocean food chain, everything passing by them is their own prey, whether it is a ship or an ordinary marine life. All the ships passing here seem to be little lambs walking in the dark forest surrounded by wolves. As for whether you are a Pleasant Goat or something, it can only be judged by the result.
Fortunately, the facts finally proved that whether it is an old driver like Jackdaw and Centaurus, or a scattered person like the Seven Star Aurora, they are all disguised as lambs, but they can use wolves as prey to hunt. However, the "wolf pack" belongs to the wolf pack, which is obviously prepared, organized, and planned as before, is another matter. When the three ships randomly found an island and reef to dock and rest, 6 Xi called the other two captains over again.
"If you want to go to Kadein Island to attend a pirate meeting or even go up to pilgrimage, this ship hunting ground is a must. Whether you can break through here is directly related to your strength... or not, only if you can break through this ship hunting ground can you be qualified to board Kadein Island." This is what the captain of the Centaurus, the famous "Breaking the Ring Monk", or the "Pirate Priest" Uruki said to 6 Xi.
"However, what is the practical significance of climbing up? There will always be one or two pirate masters on the island, or the treasure house of the Pirate Union. As long as you can climb up, you will teach you some secret tricks and give you some magical tools."
It can be seen that 6 Xi's question should still be very obvious malicious, but the other party just thought it was impossible to hear it. He continued to answer in a natural tone: "People who can go to the island are all powerful people who have proved their strength in the ocean and will definitely become famous! When recruiting crew members, they will encounter talents, and heroes from far and near will also come to vote. If they meet peers when snatching prey, they usually have priority. In addition to their own pirate flag, they are also qualified to hang black flags with swords and skulls on the mast. This is a supreme honor for a pirate!"
...Honor? Pirate? Well, what a subtle adjective!
"Don't show such a surprised expression! Dear adults! Barons." Rolandicus touched his head with some shame and said slowly: "Although we are pirates who kill and rob people and compete for wealth, we are still very vain most of the time. Everyone who runs to the sea to find a way out is either a poor person who really can't survive, or seeks a kind of excitement and a kind of vanity. Being able to pirates who are qualified to hang the black flag means that they have made a fortune in this sea! In addition, being qualified to attend the conference held by several pirate kings will also enjoy more resources and gain a competitive advantage in their future industry status... Well, with the wisdom of adults, you should understand?"
Yes, if an industry does not have an organization that leads conferences and organizations to restrict its basic behavioral norms, it will definitely cause the entire industry to die due to vicious competition... It's strange! You are pirates! Those pirates who kill, robbery and sell stolen goods and exchange for money and die of drunkenness! Are you really planning to do a lifelong career on the spot? Do you already have industry norms and five-year exhibition plans, and are you still thinking about how to cultivate and expand the market?
"...I did hear that there is a pirate union and other things in this world. Why? That place is not only responsible for selling stolen goods and emergency contacts, but also for formulating industry norms, demarcating business scope, setting minimum wages, and helping pirates to hold unemployment mutual aid union, is that true?" 6 Xi couldn't help but be amazed, but then expressed deep doubts about the future of the world: "If it is true, then I must say that the future red flag is not surprising even if it floats first in the pirate world! Hey, in this way, one day in the future, when the ruling class starts to counterattack, I believe that this day will definitely come. Isn't there sufficient evidence to prove that the Bolsheviks are all rogue proletariats and the scum of society? When will the day of the world be together come?"
Well, only Liu Xi himself can understand the deep worries about the future world like this. Anyway, everyone can only look at Liu Xi with confused eyes, especially those new partners and pirates who are not very familiar with him, and they are all unaware of it.
Of course, Jifeng, who was too familiar with 6 Xi, just sighed helplessly, and then said to the two captains: "In other words, the organizers of the Pirate Union are actually the pirate kings and you famous pirates?"
"No, no, no, the so-called pirate union in Tatuga, to put it bluntly, is just an intermediary agency created by the black market merchants, who provide us with money laundering, selling stolen goods and some external connections. In fact, the big merchants of Neosfia, the city-states along the coast of Sosnes, and the small kingdoms on the Cape of Storm, have hired us to attack our competitors. In this way, a standing in the dark," said Uruki, a cracking monk, with a sarcastic expression, slowly: "We are all a group of pirates, and they are just a real cooperative relationship... The Rauss union on Tatuga cannot restrain our behavior."
"But sadly, we always claim to be lawless and free and free escapees, but to put it bluntly, it's just a gift on our faces. The unconventional rules between the overlords who are recognized as the "pirate king"... This has become the rules on this sea! There must be rules for everything, even if we pirates who are regarded as evil people by the world." Rolandisho spread his hands and smiled, but unfortunately the two doors that were exposed were knocked out by Lim.
But his smile seemed particularly vulgar: "And Kadein Island is the place where the pirate kings meet and negotiate and decide these unspoken rules. Of course, in order to ensure fairness of the meeting, all pirates who boarded that island, even if they have a grudge against the family, are never allowed to take action on the island! This is the most recognized iron rule on this sea! Because of this, when there is no meeting, we pirates occasionally run there to rest and replenish their supplies."
"Resting? Supply? In other words, there is already a town on it?" 6 Xi looked at the island with increasingly obvious outlines on the sea level, holding his chin and asking with interest.
"No, no, of course not! It is still a very original island, but it is just a stone hall for meetings. The outer sea is full of a ship hunting ground. How can serious merchants and citizens enter and exit?" The former nobleman shook his head and said, "It's just that Kadein Island. We don't seem to be big here, but it's not the same thing after going up. Not only is the area larger than imagined, but the landform is varied, with primitive jungles, grasslands, rivers, lakes and mountains, there are all kinds of animals and plants, and even mines can be found. Even if there are no villages and towns, they can be fully supplied with their hands."
"But, every time you want to enter the island, do you need to fight with the sea clans and the sea beasts? Judging from the situation just now, the intensity of the battle is not low! If it is to say that it is for supply, you have to fight like this... Well, I think, pirates like you who can make a fortune should not do such a loss-making business, right?"
"Or, what you call the ship hunting ground is actually a very large-scale Black Sea sphere of influence?" Jifeng asked, adding: "Pirate kings and the Black Sea Alliance, let them be responsible for protecting Kadein Island and clearing out those who are not qualified?"
"How is this possible? The Black Sea and we men who are rushing the sea on the water have never been a group of people... Well, maybe the somewhat enlightened Black Sea is more likely to listen to the words. We will also help the other party smuggling and provide them with some forbidden goods. Even the Pirate Union in Tatuga City has some of those guys, but most of the Black Sea are fanatical madmen and there is no way to communicate! Even if they meet, it will be a big battle!" Rolandi practiced.
The monk Uruki, who broke the rules, came to: "...The Black Sea is a crazy believer who was brainwashed by the evil and extreme doctrine of the bloodthirsty king. He believed that killing enemies cruelly is the true meaning of combat honor. Without enemies, they will create enemies in abundance, more cruel and fierce than orcs, and are also the most notorious enemies on the sea. Although we are pirates, we have not yet fallen to the point of being in filthy with the believers of the demons."
"However, the fact is that the Black Sea appeared, and the sea beasts they drove also appeared." 6 Xi shrugged.
The two pirate captains looked at each other and exchanged a look that only they could understand. Rolandius said, "...We are also wondering. This area of sea and route has already belonged to us pirates after the Golden Beard Drake killed seven Black Sea Naga kings. In addition, in the past few years, with the joint clearance of the mermaid lords, the Black Seas have long been beaten into a betrayal dog..."
"Wait, you just said, "Combined with the joint clearance of the mermaid lord?" 6 Xiqi said.
"Yes... Haha, haven't you said it? Although we are pirates, we often take on some serious foreign jobs through the pirate union." The pirate captain smiled and said, "The joint clearing mission from the Atlantis city-state is the most profitable... Those mermaid lords were so generous when paying the bill. They were not gold coins, but precious corals, undersea gems, pearls, etc."
"Yes! If there is a way to send it to Neosfia for sale, you won't have to be scrapped by the pirate union, and you can't open it for three years if you make a profit!" Uruki nodded and echoed: "The mermaid lords are all good customers, and they are much more sincere than the group of Neosfia's profiteers who never pay the final payment! May the goddess bless the mermaid lords' health and a lightning strike to death the mermaid lords!"
...Well, it seems that the sea here is also a very lively world! And the feeling of this is really full.
"In short, the Black Sea power is no longer as good as before. It will basically move in areas further north or west. Not to mention running to Kadein, they even dare not even Tatuga. In addition, did you see the black flag on the bow of the ship? It is actually made of velvet threads from a certain plant on Kadein Island, with some mysterious power. When a ship with a black flag is sailing on Kadein Island and passing through this ship hunting ground, they will basically not be attacked by sea monsters. And now it is summer, and the sea monsters basically won't act in such places."
"The reason why I just said the flag alarm was that I just wanted to remind you casually. I was afraid that there would be some fish that would miss the net. Moreover, the sea conditions here are indeed very complicated, and it would be easy to get stranded by accident." Uruki said.
"What he said is true." Miss Loli, who is best at communicating with animals and natural knowledge, said: "In addition to ships, these main hunting targets of the Sea King and Sea King are all large animals, such as whales, large squids, etc. More than 80% of the large animals in the Sea Sea will go to the deep sea to produce in July and August, which also provides them with plenty of food. Attacking ships is only risky, even for sea beasts of the Sea King. They are not stupid, so of course they understand this."
Miss Witch’s meaning is very simple. Even the powerful sea emperor level knows how to seek profit and avoid harm. Compared to ships equipped with weapons and with masters from time to time, big whales and big squids are soft persimmons. If you just want to hunt, the sea monsters who already have primary intelligence do not have to take this meaningless risk. Just like the stupid humans in their hometown are arguing about who is better, who is better, tigers and bears, etc., etc., but in fact, this is quite boring. The reason why those kings of all beasts are so arrogant and cool is just hunting for survival. Why do you have to risk injury or even death to fight another opponent of the same magnitude with the risk of being injured or even death?
Of course, except when robbing your wife...
From this perspective, nature has actually shown that the mouth below is actually more important than the one above.
6 Xi's thinking was very routine and turned to another direction. The friend who had long been used to this point simply ignored him and continued to discuss it.
"Anyway, according to the two captains, at this time, the sea off Kadein Island is still... Well, calm, theoretically, it should be unlikely to attack the sea beasts, let alone these obviously organized black pirate groups." After 6 Xi, Jifeng, who naturally had the power to command the team, said to everyone in this way: "Then, I hope everyone can express their opinions frankly now. Should we continue to move forward?"
Of course, Lim had no objection. She was wherever 6 Xi was, while the elf girl Nicole held her cheek and frowned and thought seriously: "You can move forward. At least for now, the sudden situations we encountered did not cause any threats, and no one was injured or killed..."
If there were no one, the two pirate captains would definitely cry and faint in the toilet. There were naturally no casualties on the Qiyao Aurora, but their ships had already lost half of their blood, causing at least one-third of the sailors to be injured. The evaluation of "big break" was not mixed with moisture at all.
"It doesn't matter. Even if it is a big defeat, according to common sense, you can continue to fight. As long as you are careful, it won't sink. I pushed down the crazy dean with two big defeated ships, and they all lived to the end." 6 Xi sincerely comforted the other party, but changed his despairing look that was as mourning as a test-and-answer, plus a nearly tragic smile.
"Well, the captains and gentlemen are still very exploratory." 6 Xi clapped his hands: "Those who can make a name for themselves in this sea are indeed pure men and real men!"
"...Two, two, if you really want to move forward, please be very energetic. After leaving the ship hunting ground, you will pass through the ocean current maze and the ice and fire hell... There are no sea monsters there, but the danger is far above the former. Even if you are the first-class navigator and ship driver, and even a mermaid in charge, the possibility of suddenly being destroyed is quite high." Captain Uruki said so authentically.
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry!" Although your words have no construction meaning at all, it is still your job to open the road and step on the mines ahead. If you want to escape by the complicated sea conditions, I will sink you on the spot! The wind left a sunny smile and a creepy look on the two pirates, and at the same time said to the two professionals next to you: "So, what about you? Professor Yavaru and Professor Jones? So far, you have encountered unexpected unexpected situations. Although they can only be considered safe, it does not mean that we will be as relaxed as this time in the future. So, professor, I hope you can judge based on your professional qualities, do we have to enter Kadein Island?"
"It's very necessary! Although we only have seven treasure maps and have not completely spliced out the whole picture... But according to the sea conditions, coordinates and the surrounding ocean current records, Kadein Island will definitely be the destination!" Professor Yavaru, who was the most invincible on the entire ship (yes, even Kalman has learned a few tricks of self-defense, and it's really not a big problem to clean up five or six herbivorous professors), was quite firm at this time: "Though considering the Golden Beard Drake's identity as the Great Pirate King back then, it's reasonable to hope that a junior who travels with him will inherit his treasure in the future."
