The Cursed Ship

Chapter 9: The second transformation

Views:

Zheng Yang slowly approached the cabin, and the further he walked, the more oppressed he felt in his heart, as if there was an extremely terrifying and strange existence dormant in front of him.

The cabin-like buildings in front of them are like a mountain, with layers upon layers of buildings, the higher the distance, each layer is like a block, and the corridor is as wide as a street, deep and endless. However, except for the few ship lights shaking like will-o'-the-wisps, and the torn canvas on the upper mast like an elegiac couplet, there is no moving object to be seen.

When Zheng Yang approached a "street intersection" on the first floor about 20 meters away, he could no longer move forward. The height of the first floor alone is about ten meters, and the front creates an inexplicable strong psychological pressure on him, telling him that if he gets closer, he will face great terror, which makes Zheng Yang seem to be facing an invisible wall. The wall, unable to step forward.

"Wow~"

There was a slight sound of water, and then there was the sound of dull footsteps approaching here.

Zheng Yang saw a mist about eight meters ahead out of thin air, and the sound of water and footsteps came from that mist. As the footsteps approached, the fog dissipated quickly, and then completely disappeared, leaving only a shark monster with hands and feet.

This monster is much bigger than the fish monster that Zheng Yang killed last time. It is more than four meters tall and holds a bone spear that is also over four meters in length. dance.

Zheng Yang felt his stomach twitching, and vowed never to eat fish again.

The shark monster didn't notice Zheng Yang who was not far behind him. As soon as he appeared, he faced the cabin, and strode into the "street".

Zheng Yang watched the shark monster's actions closely.

"Woo~"

The wind blows a piece of elegiac couplet-like rags above the "Jiekou".

Zheng Yang only noticed a flash in front of him, and didn't see what happened at all. He only realized that the door of the first house in the "street" was suddenly opened, and the shark monster was instantly caught in the door by something.

With a bang, the door was closed tightly, and the sound of gnawing and chewing could be faintly heard through the door.

Fuck!

Zheng Yang subconsciously swallowed his saliva, slowly withdrew and backed away. Then he froze and turned around slowly...

Three meters behind Zheng Yang, a figure stood silently. Look carefully, this person is wearing a tattered sailor suit, his bare skin is pale and black, like those fish monsters, there are many places that are rotten. Its eyeballs hung out of its sockets, staring at Zheng Yang strangely.

Zheng Yang's heart froze instantly. How did this ghost thing appear behind him? If it weren't for the vague warning from the spirit ship, he might have stepped back and bumped into the arms of this sailor monster.

"嗞~"

The sailor monster inserted his right hand into his stomach, slowly pulled it out, and pulled out a straight knife with a length of one meter.

Zheng Yang: ...

Can you still play like this, hiding a knife technique in your stomach

Be the first to attack! Seeing that the sailor monster's knife hadn't been fully drawn out, Zheng Yang used his spiritual power to charge forward with a straight slash. This time he knew how to use spiritual power to bless, his movements were skillful and sensitive, his sword was as powerful as a mountain, and his combat power was many times stronger than last time.

However, the Sailor Monster was not weak. The moment Zheng Yang rushed up, he finished drawing the knife, and his body rotated, driving the straight knife to swing from the lower left to the upper right.

when!

When the two knives collided, Zheng Yang took two steps back, and the Sailor Monster took a step back. The difference in strength was not too great.

Zheng Yang gritted his teeth, and felt a little pain in his palm. He held the knife in both hands instead, and rushed forward again, a move that was popular all over the world, and he still slashed straight!

when... when... when...

Zheng Yang finally suppressed the Sailor Monster, and finally cut off the Sailor Monster's head at the cost of having his abdomen cut open.

Huh~

Zheng Yang let out a long breath, held the knife in his right hand and covered his abdomen with his left hand to prevent his intestines from leaking out. He watched the sailor monster and the straight knife disappear in ashes with a pale face, leaving only a little white light on his forehead.

Knowing that the white light should be the Sailor Monster's memory of using a knife, Zheng Yang didn't dodge it, and in fact he couldn't dodge it either. But Zheng Yang learned his lesson this time, and didn't use his consciousness to touch that memory immediately. He was vigilant about his surroundings, quietly waiting for the dream to end.

After another ten minutes, a thick fog appeared around Zheng Yang. He felt dizzy before his eyes, and left the dream.

After sleeping until noon and having a full meal, Zheng Yang collected another bucket of gum and came back, then began to pack his luggage and prepare to run—no, he went out for a walk.

Yes, Zheng Yang is going to put his luggage in the spirit ship tonight, go to the back of the island tomorrow to saw another batch of logs, install a cabin tomorrow night, and then leave this remote island temporarily the day after tomorrow.

Naturally, important items must be brought, Zheng Yang does not know when he will be back. As for the money owed to Hans, he could only pay it back when he came back.

Then there are clothes and bedding, food, common tool boxes, medicine kits, backpacks, a box of books left by Xiao Zheng Yang's father, a small portable firewood stove and a small pot, and those oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and a few Set of bowls and chopsticks, etc., all moved to the yard and placed.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Yang summoned the spirit boat in the yard, and took a few bricks to straighten the boat. Fortunately, the yard is big enough to barely accommodate the 5-meter-long guy.

This time, retracting and releasing the spirit ship consumed 30 points of spiritual energy, indicating that the larger the body, the greater the consumption. In order to ensure that it can be retracted freely tomorrow, Zheng Yang carried all the things on board except the backpack, and put them one by one into the hidden compartment under the middle deck. able.

By two o'clock in the morning, the psionic reserve had recovered to a full 100 points, and Zheng Yang put the spirit ship into the subspace.

This subspace is also very magical. It cannot store any other items except the spirit ship, but if you put the items on the ship first, it can be taken into the subspace along with the spirit ship. Of course, in this way, if you want to get the items on the ship, you have to summon the spirit ship first, and then go to the ship to get it. And if there are live animals on board, all living animals will be excluded, and live animals cannot be brought into the subspace.

At noon the next day, Zheng Yang walked the mountain road to the back of the island with a backpack on his back. He cut a 5-meter-long bamboo pole for punting near the shore, and picked a thin bamboo as a fishing pole. After sawing more than a dozen tall and straight logs of that kind again, when night fell, they collected another bundle of dead wood and hay to be taken on board as firewood.

Zheng Yang considered all the details he could think of as far as possible, and the materials he carried could at least ensure that he could survive alone at sea for seven to ten days. And the nearest English port is sixty-five nautical miles to the east. If there is a favorable wind and he consumes spiritual energy to speed up, he can actually cross the sea to reach that port in less than a day.

Of course, this speed is too ideal. The speed of the sailboat is extremely unstable and is greatly affected by the wind force and direction. If you take the zigzag route against the wind, the distance will be much longer. If you are unlucky, you will go in the wrong direction, and even Zheng Yang, who has drifted for ten and a half months, may not be able to reach that harbor.

Zheng Yang can also put away the spirit boat and go to the harbor with the fishing boat, but the fishing boats here don’t necessarily go to the harbor every ten days and a half months. The seafood they catch is usually sold to the big boats of the fishery company halfway.

Moreover, Zheng Yang was encouraged. He wanted to challenge this wave and sail across the sea by himself. If you can't pass this challenge, how will you cross the sea in the future? Without fearlessness, how can one overcome the curse

Some people are naturally cruel to themselves, like to take risks, and take action.

After collecting two bundles of firewood, Zheng Yang sat on a rock to rest, and at the same time activated the information interface of the spirit ship to check if there was anything to be improved in the design of the cabin.

At present, the cabin he designed is located in the middle and rear of the spirit ship, with a length of 2.5 meters, a width of 2 meters, an inner height of 1.8 meters, and a flat roof. Reserve 1.5 meters at the bow for the front deck, and reserve 1 meter for the stern to build an open sunshade.

After adding the cabin, in order to meet the needs of the sails, the mast was also raised by 1.8 meters.

This cabin is a pure wooden structure, covered with magic circles just like the hull, and the surface is covered with a layer of gum, so it is not afraid of wind and rain erosion.

Because there is no glass, the doors and windows of the cabin are also made of wood, and louver ventilation openings that slope downward from the inside to the outside are reserved.

Zheng Yang looked at it for a while, but still felt that the boat was a bit small, so he modified the main body of the spirit boat, lengthening it by 1 meter and widening it by 0.5 meters.

Well, that's much more comfortable!

Finally, after this wave of revisions, the information interface actually reported that "the body size has reached the maximum coverage limit of the first-level spirit ship array!"

That is to say, the size of the first-level spirit ship can only be modified to this extent at most

Zheng Yang scratched his head helplessly, but fortunately he can finally have a cabin, so let's do it first!

Since there is level one, there are level two and three, and finding a way to upgrade in the future is... The above feedback is because the coverage of the magic circle is insufficient. Does that mean that the level of the spirit ship is determined by the magic circle? So how to upgrade the magic circle

With doubts one after another, I finally waited until the moonlight brightened. Zheng Yang deliberately waited until night to remodel, in addition to being assisted by moonlight, he also wanted to avoid being seen by his acquaintances in the fishing village.

Tonight should be the happiest night, and it will start to turn vacant tomorrow night.

This time, there was no need to wait for the tide to rise. Zheng Yang had already carried more than a dozen logs to the beach one by one and tied them in a row with old vines. At this time, they were pushed directly into the sea and propped out with long bamboo poles.

The sunken ship once again ushered in a nasty robber.

Zheng Yang summoned the spirit ship and issued a transformation order. As the logs next to it were extracted by the magic circle, the iron on the bow of the sunken ship was lost. First, the hull slowly extended and widened, and then a cabin slowly formed in the silver light.

"Not counting the retractable prow wood, the 6-meter-long hull and the maximum width of 2.5 meters are larger than Hans' fishing boat. The increase in size will cause the spirit boat to automatically optimize, and the effective height of the mast will also reach 8 meters. If this goes Inland rivers, even some bridge holes are impassable, right?"

Zheng Yang thought so.

Because it is integrated with the keel and the stabilizer board, the heavy keel frame mixed with steel makes the center of gravity of the mast extremely low, and the ballast of the fish room and fresh water tank forms a tumbler effect to maintain the stability of the sailboat, so even if the mast The height is longer than the hull, and it will not overturn the boat.

The modified cabin is 3 meters long, 2.5 meters wide, and 1.8 meters high; the bow deck is 2 meters, and the 1 by 2 meter area of the stern is covered by a sunshade, which is 2.2 meters high and 40 centimeters higher than the middle cabin.

In this way, the cabin has a length of 3 meters. Even if a washroom is separated in the cabin near the rear door, the cabin is still spacious enough.
