An unnatural red tide came from the other side of the sea, like streaks of crimson light passing across the blue sea. Those red tides have a slight scorching feeling, and they make the creatures in the sea very uneasy. Occasionally, swarms of mutated fish would roll out of the sea, stirring up white waves on the entire surface of the sea. But they are cheaper than the deep-sea overlords like Mutant Shark and even Tyrannosaurus Whale. These big guys suddenly burst out of the sea, opening and closing their mouths, and they swallowed up countless lives.
The sea has never been calm, old or new.
In the sky, there are also light tendrils like aurora shining on the horizon. They change magnificent colors, but in this turbulent age, anyone with a little common sense knows it. In this terrible age, the more beautiful things are, the more deadly they are. Like those red tides in the sea, or like those light tendrils in the sky, or like this beautiful woman standing on the bow deck at this moment.
Cinderella, the captain of the Nixie, the most beautiful woman in the endless sea. But these various titles could not conceal her dangerous aura. Anyone who knows her knows that Cinderella is a rose with thorns, and those thorns are poisonous. So far, those men who dared to reach out to her beautiful rose have now become food in the stomach of a big fish, or their bones are buried quietly on a beach. As a water-type capable person, the entire sea is simply her home field.
Some people say that to defeat Cinderella, the only chance is to pull her to the land or even the desert. It's just that she is as smart as her and never leaves anyone with any chance. Her arrogant laughter is always accompanied by the waves, and her moving figure has become a fascinating landscape below the sea level. This is a woman with both strength and beauty.
Now, she folded her arms around her chest, showing off the pride of the twin peaks even more. For the ship of the Water Demon, this test of their determination was even more difficult than a storm. Most of the pirates on the Nixie boarded the ship under the charm of Cinderella. Among them, the ten most outstanding people formed Cinderella's personal guards. These people wanted to suppress this beautiful captain, but unfortunately this kind of thinking can only stay in their minds. In the pro-guard, the relationship between each other is also very obvious. Cinderella turned a blind eye to this. As a woman, she knew what she was controlling.
She understands better that if she loses power or becomes incapacitated. If it's not someone else's turn to occupy him, these men on this boat alone will play her to death. But Cinderella will not let herself fall to this point, she believes that she can control these people. And if one day she can't control it, she will use her own way to bring down the curtain of life. She firmly believes that she will be the most beautiful scenery on the sea, no matter now or in the future, alive or dead!
"Sister, what's the matter? You've been looking at the sea and the sky like this for almost half a day!" Pro-Wesper finally couldn't help asking, as a man with strong strength in the pro-guard, Haber possessed the strength of the sixth level and the strength of the fourth level. Defense is not weak among pirates. Even in the evaluation system of the Pope's Hall, he is equivalent to the strength of an elite knight.
Of course, he is not the strongest man on the Water Demon. It's another Eureka who is watching from the observation deck and is known as the "Jaeger". Eureka is a tall, lanky man with an icy demeanor. He wears his own custom suit, with a gliding membrane made of mutator shark skin between his arms and body.
Eureka always carries three black spears on his back. Whenever he is engaged in battle, he can always take advantage of the darkness of night to sneak attack the enemy ship from mid-air like a seagull skimming over the sea. Those three black iron spears would pierce each other's sails like lightning, and the ship would lose power and be at the mercy of the Nixie. And even on the ground, Eureka's strength is not weak. Three black spears can be combined into a war gun "Black Lightning" that is about three meters long. So far, the tip of the Black Lightning spear has pierced through countless hearts that are alive and kicking.
On the Nixie, Cinderella set the gauge. Any man on board can challenge her at any time, and if he wins, not only can he be her man, but he will also give up the Nixie and all the wealth. But Cinderella will never show mercy, once she loses, she will be killed. So far, only three members of the SS have challenged her. Now No. 9 and No. 10 in the Guards took the place of two of the defeated ones, and Eureka was the only man who was defeated by Cinderella but survived.
Therefore, among the men on board, no one is afraid of this skua.
Hearing Desper's question about herself, Cinderella frowned and said: "The red sea tide and the light tendrils on the sea level are very abnormal phenomena. If I guess correctly, it should be some kind of huge energy. The abnormal phenomenon caused by the explosion. And that direction is very disturbing."
"Which direction?" Spa was taken aback for a moment, then thought of something, then slapped his head and said, "Eldest sister means that something happened to Istar?"
"A few days ago, the Big Three took the Iron Scale and that big man away, and then the vision caused by the big explosion appeared from that direction. This is too coincidental." Cinderella gently pressed her sexy lips. Sucking his finger, he said, "If something happens to Istar, then the structure of this continent will change dramatically. In the future, I'm afraid no one can see clearly..."
On the watchtower, the skua suddenly raised its head, and stretched out to let a real seagull land on the back of its hand. A small bamboo tube was tied to the seagull's foot, and Eureka poured out a note from it. After looking at it, Eureka put the note back into the bamboo tube again, and then called to Cinderella: "Sister, Gio has news for you. He said he found a very strange boat, um, it is indeed very strange."
Talking about the sound of throwing the small bamboo tube out of the sleeve arrow, a black line came down from the watchtower and went straight to Cinderella. The latter simply stretched out his hand to copy it, and held the little thing that made a sharp whistling in his hand.
Gio is the number five of the SS, nicknamed Beaver. This guy is good at diving, reconnaissance and blasting, and he is a scout on the Nixie. This guy is actually not bad, but he doesn't know what is missing in his brain, and he always likes to call himself the painter of the Water Demon. Usually, besides the text, the information he brings back is always like to add a sketch that he can only understand on it.
Just like now, the coordinates of the location are marked on the note, and it is stated that a strange ship that has never been seen before is found, and then a pattern is drawn on it. It’s just that Gio’s portrait is no different from graffiti. Cinderella looked at it for a long time but couldn’t see anything, and finally sneered: “Tell that kid Gio, he has no food for three days!”
Hearing Cinderella's sneer, all the pirates on board trembled, and at the same time silently sympathized with a certain poor "painter" in their hearts.
"Set sail, set sail, we have work to do!" Cinderella temporarily put aside what those strange red tides and light tendrils represent, and now she wants to see the strange ship that Gio mentioned, maybe It is a new variety that came out of the research room of the Pope's Hall, so it can be sold at a good price.
One mainsail and two sails of the Nixie were lowered, and Cinderella took the helm herself, and the Nixie slowly sailed from the edge of an island. This is the outskirts of the island satellite belt of the Western Continent. There are many islands and complicated waterways. If you are not careful, you may get lost in this maze-like waterway. Of course, for Cinderella, the complicated waterway here is like her own back garden, and she can walk out with her eyes closed.
But for some, that's a whole other story.
For example, Billy on the Destiny, the man who aspired to draw a complete navigation chart, is now struggling with a crude navigation chart.
"There is an isolated island 3 nautical miles ahead, Captain, shall we retreat?"
In the control room of the Destiny, the pilot Ola asked back with a depressed face. They have been swaying in these complicated waterways for two or three days, advancing at a speed of less than 20 nautical miles per day. God knows how long it will take to reach Roaring Bay at such a speed, the pirate concentration place that the fisherman Kedar said. From them, they might be able to find out how to get to Istar, the base of the rebel army.
To this end, Kedar also specially drew a waterway map and handed it to Zero. The uncle patted his chest and assured that following his navigation map, he would definitely be able to reach Roaring Bay. He also told Zero privately that he had been a pirate a few years ago and had been to Roaring Bay once. So Zero still believed him, but his waterway map was like a scribble, only crudely showing some important islands as references.
But on the island satellite belt of the Western Continent, there are so many islands, not to mention that the people on the Destiny are all outsiders. It is not so easy to reach the Roaring Gulf with Kedar's crude channel map. Billy can only use the instrument to scan the surrounding sea area environment to build a model, and then compare it with Kedar's blueprint. In this way, the speed of advancement is naturally very limited.
Haiwei, who has been bored by the repeated scenery for the past two days, has lost interest in fishing and other activities, and has been hiding behind Billy since yesterday to watch him toss the sea area model in Nazhi's mind. Just like now, Haiwei looked at the screen and yawned, then shook Billy and said, "I can't take it anymore, I don't want to stay here anymore. Billy, when can we get out!"
Billy was dizzy by her shaking, and finally roared: "I don't know! Is this kind of drawing for people to see? If you want proportions or no proportions, if you want data but no data, I don't even have the most basic nautical miles. How can I understand it? !"
On the high platform in the control room, Zero watched Billy, who was always shy, growl at Hai Wei, and couldn't help crying and laughing. I thought that a blueprint from Kedar could make Billy lose his sense of proportion, and he was capable enough. At this time, another voice said: "Captain, there is a sailboat 2 nautical miles to the left."
The speaker was Observer Karlov, a typical big Russian guy. Unsmiling, precise and efficient in doing things, even the time to get up and eat every day is accurate to the minute, and he is called a man with a human-shaped alarm clock on the ship.
"Send the image to the main screen." Zero said.
After some operations, an image appeared on the main screen of Destiny. It was a three-masted sailing ship near the island, and there were several small boats beside the ship. Someone on the small boat was casting a net to catch fish, and it seemed that nearby fishermen were working. Under Karlov's control, the image was enlarged, and it was confirmed that there was no sign on the three-masted ship, so it should not be a pirate.
Zero stood up and said, "I'm going to contact them to see if they know how to get to Roaring Bay."
"I'll go too!" Hai Wei let Billy go and stretched out her hand when she heard that she could go outside the boat to get some air.
So the two came to the ship's side deck to put down a rubber raft, Ling sat in front, Haiwei rolled up her sleeves and rowed the rubber raft fast. With the speed of the girl moving the oars like flying, the rubber raft quickly approached the fishermen who were working. Seeing Zero and Two, a tanned man who was pulling in the net shouted, "Who are you? Don't come here, don't you see we are working?"
Zero smiled and said, "Sir, we are lost. I want to find out how to get down Roaring Bay. Of course, we will pay enough."
The man froze for a moment, and said, "You are going to Roaring Bay, which is the old den of pirates. Are you also pirates?"
"Of course not, we are merchants. Adventurous merchants, there is a batch of goods that I want to ship to the Roaring Gulf to see if I can make some money."
The man nodded, and then shouted to the three-masted sailboat: "Sister, someone wants to ask for directions!"
Zero raised his head, and under the dazzling skylight on the sea, the sailboat became a silhouette. In this silhouette, a voluptuous figure jumped out, and then a magnetic female voice came: "Let them board the boat."
So the man ate and drank a few small boats beside him to get out of the way, and Ling winked at Haiwei, who nodded and rolled the rubber raft to the side of the sailboat. After Haiwei tied the rubber raft to the sailboat, she followed Zero and climbed onto the deck of the sailboat from the rope ladder. On the deck, a beautiful woman with a healthy bronze complexion and purple hair was sitting cross-legged on the deck. She smoked a cigarette and said to Ling: "I am the captain of this ship, and also their boss. You seem to be unfamiliar faces, where are you from?"
Zero smiled, sat down and said, "It's far away." He pointed in the direction of the sea level. The woman looked at him and said lightly: "It's fine if you don't want to say it, it's okay. So where do you want to go? Roaring Bay? That's not something anyone can go to."
"Thank you for the reminder, but in our business, profits and risks always coexist. Early insurance is nothing."
The woman shrugged and said, "That's up to you, but I can't give you this information for free."
Zero laughed and said, "It's okay, I said, we will pay you."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to give it." A smile appeared on the woman's mouth.
"Oh, I don't know what you want." With a sigh of relief, he put away his smile and said lightly: "However, I may guess it. What you want is probably our life and our ship, right? ?”
The woman smiled: "That's interesting, how did you guess that?"
Haiwei looked at the two of them chatting like old friends, but the topic of discussion was related to the life and death of both parties. She was secretly ready to take action at any time, but Ling continued as if she hadn't noticed the vague murderous intent on the boat, "It's very simple. Although there are no signs on your boat, and you make the illusion that you are fishing But we drove all the way, and the nearby islands are basically uninhabited, so where did you suddenly pop up so many fishermen?"
"And unfortunately, I have a good nose. I can't smell a little fishy smell on you, but a lot of bloody smell. The most important point is that I haven't seen any fishing boat like yours. Clean, clean like a trap."
"That's right, there are not many men like you who dare to step into a trap even if you know it is a trap. No matter you are brave or stupid, you are entitled to know my name. Remember it well, stranger. Remember You died on my Cinderella's boat!" The woman stood up from the deck and said arrogantly: "The guests have already found out, and we have nothing to hide, hurry up and greet them!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen figures appeared from the cabin and the mast. Everyone held guns and aimed at Zero and Haiwei, and the skua Eureka stood on the observation deck, holding on to the railing and looking at the bow deck. But other members of the pro-guard, such as Spa, were not on the Nixie, and even the few small boats floating beside the ship just now were missing.
"Is there only so little manpower?" Zero smiled lightly.
"This manpower is enough." Cinderella exhaled a smoke ring from her mouth and said, "You still have to worry about yourself, handsome guy. As for your boat, I think my people should have taken it down. To be honest , I've never seen such a strange ship. But that's all right, it's mine from today!"
"How is that possible? I'm its captain. No matter what, I can't let it fall into the hands of a woman with unknown history."
"It's so rude!" Cinderella said angrily, "Who is a woman of unknown origin? I'm Cinderella, the captain of the Water Demon!"
I wanted to announce my name, which should frighten the handsome man in front of me. But he and his entourage (Haiwei: He is not an entourage!) looked blank, as if they didn't know what the name Cinderella represented. Then the beautiful captain roared with rage, which was an insult to her! You must know that inside the Pope's Hall, the bounty offered by those big shots for her is much higher than the official one, overwhelming the other three pirate groups, and becoming the female pirate with the highest bounty in the entire endless sea area.
"It seems that you obviously don't know who I am, it's okay, today I will make you unforgettable forever! Do it!" Cinderella tiptoed, and she retreated to the bow like skating on ice.
At the same time, the pirates on board opened fire. And Skua Eureka swung his hands at a high speed that ordinary people can't catch, and the three pitch-black spears behind him immediately shot out with lightning, two were nailed to zero, and one greeted Haiwei!
Zero sat and moved, and the invisible energy force field spread out layer by layer between the smiles, intercepting all the steel ball bullets fired by *. These things are not as powerful as the rifles of the old era. They are good for dealing with ordinary people, but they are shabby for beckoning capable people. As for the two spears that were shot at him, Zero swayed from side to side, letting the spears pass by with a gap of time, and was nailed to the deck in vain.
when! A loud voice sounded, but it was Hai Wei who turned and kicked another spear away. Xinde gasped and let out an unexpected "Huh". She had already seen that it was not easy, but she didn't expect that the little girl Haiwei could easily kick Eureka's spear away. On the observation deck, seeing that all three of his spears had failed, the skua snorted from its nostrils, and immediately jumped down to the deck, leaving a swift shadow below!
