Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 73

“Everyone, hold on, yes, don’t move!”

Gordon gave orders loudly, stabilizing the nervous sailors, the boat still rocking.

“Mitch! What’s going on in the bilge?”

Gordon shouted loudly that he had to make sure there was no water leakage at the bottom of the boat.

After a long silence, Mickey’s voice came from below.

“Captain! No problem, there is no water leakage in the bilge, but the cargo is a little messy…”

He said it lightly, but just now, it was the tumbling cargo that tripped over a lot of sailors, and even Mickey himself continued to get up and check the bottom of the boat with a bruised face.

“You guys don’t move, I’ll go down and have a look first.”

Fortunately, the bottom of the ship was not broken by the reef. The most important thing now is to check the specific conditions of the ship, and this time it ran aground.

Sailors at the observation deck should pay attention to the situation of the route at all times, whether there are shallow reefs, and the island base is within the observation range, but this time, there was no warning at all, and the ship ran aground directly.

Gordon jumped off the boat and rushed directly into the water, the cool sea water soaked his body, and Gordon also saw the island base from the water.

The azure seagrass floats continuously with the current, almost becoming one with the sea water, covering the sediment and reefs below. If you don’t watch it up close, you won’t be able to notice the range from such a distance to the seven uplifts in the distance. The reefs are all one, and the range is huge.

Oasis.

People at sea call this kind of huge reef that is hidden underwater and easy to ignore. This kind of place can only allow boats less than 30 meters to pass through. It is the best place for small speed ships to avoid the pursuit of large pirate ships. The hull is more than 40 meters, and the large ship with a waterline of more than two meters is directly stranded.

“Drop the anchor on the right side of the hull! Be careful and take your time.”

The sailors on the ship heard Gordon’s cry and began to slowly loosen the winch that was pulling the anchor.

Clang!

When the anchor was first lowered, the entire hull was shaken, and the sailors’ exclamations came from the ship.

“Be careful! Slow down!” Gordon was below, watching the state of the entire hull, and instructed.

A main anchor and two auxiliary anchors on one side of the ship slowly descended, finally stabilizing the whole ship.

Gordon looked around the wide oasis. If a big boat couldn’t get in, he could only use a small boat to see it first, and for a ship like the Jackdaw, there were a lot of small boats prepared.

“Mickey, put down the two boats and call ten sailors. Let’s go and see first. Morgan, you and Alan guard the boat.”

“I know the captain!”

On the left side of the boat, which was closer to the water, the two boats were slowly lowered. Mickey and ten other strong sailors stripped naked, jumped directly into the water, and climbed back onto the boat.

Gordon swam over, then took Mickey’s hand and turned over into the boat.

Looking at Mickey’s cracked lips and bulging forehead, he asked, “It’s okay.”

“It’s okay, Captain, I’m used to it.”

The soaking wet clothes were a bit of a hindrance. Gordon also learned from these sailors, tore off the clothes on his body and threw them into the sea, revealing his strong upper body.

Gordon’s body was originally a little thin, but after being strengthened twice, it reached an incredible level, and there were five scabbed scars on his body, which looked a little scary.

“Captain! What about our ship?”

Allen looked at Gordon and his party who were about to leave, and shouted anxiously, it’s not the way to stay stranded like this.

How to do? The waterline is too deep to run aground, and it’s not completely out of water.

“Reduce the weight of the boat, and then leave this area and pick it up again. Do you want to ask me such a question?”

Gordon’s understated tone made Coolidge laugh out loud, finally looking like an old captain.

“Oh, I see.” Alan’s indifferent voice came back, feeling that he was crushed on the level of IQ.

Gordon smiled slightly, then motioned for the sailor to start rowing.

Allen is the one he cultivated as a first mate. He has talent, ability, and a natural affinity. Seeing Allen, there is always a sense of seeing the original self, and of course he inherited his originality. It was a little too tender. .

The sailors slowly rowed their boats towards the seven islands and reefs not far away.

If there is no mistake, the Elizabeth should have been washed up here by the waves in that big storm, and then hit the rocks at the bottom of the ship, and was helplessly destroyed by the big waves. It is really full of tragedy.

There is a bright light on the bottom of the water, and in the blue algae, this red is so conspicuous.

“Stop the boat first.”

At this time, the reefs on the bottom were getting shallower and shallower. Gordon jumped off the boat, and the sea water only soaked his waist.

He picked up the luminous object from the water, so dazzling on the water surface, it was a spinel the size of a pigeon egg.

What a pure red, like the flow of blood, in this age when gems can’t be artificially synthesized, it is simply invaluable. Even in the 21st century, this kind of thing is worth tens of thousands of pounds. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

“Looks like we’ve found the right direction, let’s keep going.”

Gordon turned back on the boat and headed for the seven islands and reefs.

He put the gemstone directly into his trouser pocket. According to animus’ estimate, the price of this gemstone reached 130 gold coins, and there was still a boat on the Elizabeth.

But as the distance got closer, Gordon began to notice that there were actually two small boats in the distant waters, and they were also approaching the center of the reef, and he felt a chill in his heart.

Because in a farther place, there is a pirate ship with black sails and black flags.

“Damn!”

Originally thought it was just an ordinary treasure hunt, Gordon didn’t even carry a musket, only a machete hanging from his waist, and the sailors were almost the same, and the whole boat only had two spare muskets for use. Prevention of sharks and sea animals.

“Captain, what should we do?” Mickey stared at the pirate ship in the distance and was a little startled. If he was fully armed, he would definitely not go up and fight directly, but now, they don’t have muskets, only machetes. suffer.

Gordon took out the binoculars directly from his trouser pocket and looked at the pirate’s boat on the opposite side. The result was… exactly like them, almost naked.

“Haha, hahaha!”

Gordon laughed out loud. Since you don’t have muskets and you have less than ten people, I’m sorry, you may not have seen an assassin’s machete.

“Come on, rush up to me, the enemy is similar to us.”

After the battle of Havana, Gordon had the most intuitive understanding of his melee combat ability. The British Royal soldiers were not his opponents. Could it be that these pirates who were surrounded and suppressed by the British Royal Navy would be more difficult to deal with?
