Chapter 40 The Cyclops (Part 1)
After experiencing that bloody battle, the skies over the Caribbean Sea finally regained a short period of calm.
As if a tacit agreement had been reached, the blood-stabbing team did not continue to pursue the Broken Blade team. Shen Yi and the others also temporarily concentrated their energy on completing the task, and began to search for British warships and pirate ships with all their strength, trying to get nine of the bloody city's requirements first. thousand-point benchmark.
The benchmark score of 9,000 points is a special concept of the bloody city, and all level upgrades are actually based on this. The double C level is 18,000 points, the B level is 27,000 points, but the double B level is not 54,000 points, but 36,000 points.
Every time you upgrade a level, you will increase your base by 9,000 points. Therefore, nine thousand points is a standard for Bloody City.
Because of this, in the eyes of Bloody City, the entire initial difficulty area is just a novice area. Only when you reach the normal area can you be considered a formal adventurer, so there are benchmark requirements.
You may wish to understand it as the sixty-point standard that must be met in the exam.
For adventurers, to meet this standard, they must fight life and death again and again to pass.
I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but the blood stabbing team lost four members and destroyed a ship. In the end, they earned three ships of goods, which lowered the task requirements among the team members in disguise, but the broken blade team still had to pay for their bloody blood. Bit of a struggle.
On the fourth day of entering the Caribbean Sea, Shen Yi and the others finally encountered the long-awaited "trouble"—six black warships without flags.
The high-magnification telescope can clearly see a big one-eyed man on the bow of the opposite ship wearing a funny three-cornered hat and waving a short machete as if he is shouting.
"How is it?" Hong Lang asked.
"It's a pirate ship." Shen Yi casually handed the telescope to Hong Lang.
Hong Lang held it up and looked at it for a while, then muttered in a low voice: "These sixteenth-century pirates really look like Brother Sharp in their costumes."
"I like his hair." Wenrou was also watching with a telescope, and said with a smile.
"Can I see it?" Courtney's voice sounded from the side. The captain of the Potato had been very sad since the Potato was blown up, until Shen Yi promised to give him the Roamer, which made the captain who was so rich as his life smile. Now the entire rover is sailed by the sailors on the original potato, and the airborne soldiers have been liberated from labor.
Gentle handed him her binoculars, and after seeing it, Courtney said with certainty: "It's Bernie Bob, the captain of the Cyclops, that ship was originally called the Giant, since Bernie Bob stabbed one of his own After only one eye, it was renamed the Cyclops."
"Blind one of your own eyes?" Gentle was curious: "Why?"
"Because he thinks that it can make his appearance more ferocious and terrifying." Courtney replied seriously.
Gentle exclaimed: "Is he crazy? Just to make himself more cruel and terrifying?"
"For the pirates, this reason is enough. It can save them more injuries in the battle. He is a subordinate of the pirate king of the Caspian Sea, Barbosa. Shall we fight or leave?"
Ever since seeing Shen Yi destroying a British warship by himself, Courtney began to firmly believe that Shen Yi is the son of the Sea God. Ignorance gives people endless courage, and now even if pirates attack, Courtney is not afraid.
On the contrary, Hong Lang was surprised when he heard Courtney's words: "Barbosa? Are you right? The guy who robbed the Black Pearl? Is he the pirate king of the Caspian Sea?"
"So you know this too. That's right, that Barbossa, the pirate who robbed the world's most feared Black Pearl. During his time as the captain of the Black Pearl, he crossed the sea and defeated and replaced The Pirate King of the Caspian Sea at that time." Courtney replied quickly.
Hong Lang muttered: "I never thought that Barbosa had this story. No wonder Barbosa is also one of the nine pirate kings in the third part of Pirates of the Caribbean. By the way, Courtney, what about Jack Sparrow?" ? What kind of Pirate King is he?"
"Pirates of the Caribbean! The true captain of the Black Pearl,
The most powerful and most feared pirate, the only one who can escape from the British Navy in a row and deal a serious blow to them. Perhaps the greatest misfortune of his life was that he recruited this fellow Barbossa, robbed his ship, and left him wandering for a long time. But this does not change his status as the Pirates of the Caribbean king. In many seaports, as long as you play the name of Jack Sparrow, there will be a large number of pirates and sailors willing to join and work hard for it, and of course it will also attract a large number of warships to chase and kill. His name is a resounding signboard, no matter where he goes, he can attract followers and bloody storms. "
Courtney answered with seriousness.
Shen Yi and the others glanced at each other, already thinking about it.
Obviously, in the original Pirates of the Caribbean plot, this guy was portrayed as a bit of a hapless guy due to the needs of the plot, but here, he is by no means such a good guy to deal with.
Similarly, the meaning of the term Pirate King here is no longer limited to a poor ship, but a large group of ships-every Pirate King must have his own subordinates. The funny scene in the Pirates of the Caribbean plot where the two pirate kings add up to only one ship will never appear here.
According to Courtney, Jack Sparrow has now returned to the Black Pearl and continues his career in the Caribbean, but the battle between the pirates and the British Navy has not yet begun.
No one knows if the next plot will happen and affect other people. The point is that you can never expect Jack Sparrow to be stranded on a deserted island and detained by barbarians.
The mission world given by the bloody city is always just the background, and the plots only appear as needed. Boring plots will never be used for adventurers to enjoy. Tenderness doesn't really fit the theme, at least in the quest world.
It’s okay to be romantic, go to your own home world, as long as you have that thought.
"How did the pirates from the Caspian Sea come to the Caribbean?"
Shen Yi replied: "If even the laws and regulations of the country are just a fart, then what are the geographical boundaries? Besides, Barbosa and Jack Sparrow have never been friends... I don't know if he is alive now."
He was still looking at the pirate ship in the distance. The pirate ship was getting closer and closer, maybe because they felt that the target could no longer escape control, they finally officially raised the skull flag.
Six slightly broken skeleton flags fluttered on the sea, exuding a murderous aura.
They rushed this way but did not fire.
Pirates' preferred goal is always to plunder rather than slaughter, and they can even spare each other as long as the plundered cooperate. The purpose of the British Navy is to maintain the monopoly of maritime trade and reject competitors.
From this point of view, the British navy is better than pirates in terms of burning, killing and looting.
When the pirate ship approached 150 meters, five ships including the Wanderer and Princess Ivana simply stopped.
From this position, the muzzle position of the pirate ship can already be clearly seen.
Compared with the artillery of the rover, the artillery of these pirate ships has obvious shortcomings in both quality and quantity.
Shen Yi weighed it up and said: "The firepower of the pirate ships is obviously not as good as that of the British warships. I think it will be more troublesome in terms of personnel. Obviously, the British warships are stronger in long-range combat, while the pirates are better in close combat. This should be the difference."
Gentle interface: "Then I prefer to fight pirates more."
"Me too." Shen Yi laughed.
He turned and walked down the bow: "The opponent has a total of six boats, Gentle, King Kong, Hong Lang, Luo Hao, and No. 1. Everyone has a boat. Let's see who is faster. Bernie Bob will give it to me. King Kong Give your assassination blade to Luo Hao, Luo Hao, hold your breath and solve your own problems. If you can't even solve a pirate ship now, just jump into the sea."
"Understood, boss."
"Frost."
"Yes, sir."
"Take your brother to fight back. I need you to improve yourself as soon as possible, but don't charge forward. This time...my brother and I will serve as meat shields for you."
"Yes, sir."
The voyage of 150 meters is just around the corner.
At the moment when the ramming angle of the Cyclops was about to collide with the Wanderer, the big ship suddenly made a super-large change of direction, and changed the collision posture into a parallel posture in a very short distance, which fully demonstrated the skillful skills of the pirates. Sea control skills.
At the moment when the two ships were running side by side, countless fishing lines and flying claws whizzed and grabbed at the bow of the other ship, and each pirate fell from the sky to the Wanderer like a swing.
At the same time, countless flaps with iron hooks have turned up from the side of the Cyclops, hooking the side of the Wanderer, completely fixing the two ships together.
A large number of pirates with red scarves and swords yelled and rushed from the ship board, and quickly seized the target ship in an open-air way.
The same thing happened on other ships. For the pirates, it was commonplace for the pirates to contact and control the target ship in the shortest possible time, and to plunder all the gold, silver, jewels, and even beauties that could be looted.
The captain of the Cyclops, Bernie Bob, landed on the Wanderer in high spirits. He was about to cut down a sailor first as usual, and use blood to scare all those who wanted to resist, but he was shocked to find that there was no one on the deck. someone else.
No, there is one.
A young man in a strange windbreaker stood in the middle of the boat.
Surrounded by all the pirates, he looked at himself with a confident smile.
The other party shook his head, and then asked softly, "Bernie Bob?"
"Yes, you must be honored, because today you will be robbed by Bernie Bob, the captain of the great Cyclops! If you are sensible, take out all the treasures!" The one-eyed pirate replied proudly.
The young man nodded: "You have already taken my things."
"What?" Bernie Bob was taken aback.
"My lines." The young man replied seriously: "Yes, you must feel honored, because today you will be robbed by Shen Yi, the captain of the Broken Blade team! Hand over your life together!"
"Oh, hell! What did I hear?" All the pirates were dumbfounded.
Shen Yi had already said coldly: "It seems that I don't want to give it away, so I'll take it myself!"
Suddenly shot!
