Chapter 179 Bones and Things Are the Most Annoying!
After Little Annie got mad and subdued the mermaids and explored the island to find the San Diego, they got a whole ship of gold and silver treasures and filled all the cabins of the three warships.
Then, for some unknown reason, what puzzled all the sailors and soldiers was that the little witch, she did not order to set off again to explore the undead fountain that is said to be able to live forever, but directly ordered the fleet to set sail and set foot on the It was the way home, Port Royal, where they had started.
At this time, the two Spanish battleships connected end to end, led by the magic battleship Intrepid, and dragged by several thick cables, began to sail against the wind on the remote channel back to Port Royal.
This treasure-seeking expedition is basically over here.
Little Annie and the others gained from this trip, apart from capturing two Spanish warships, the rest was the gold and silver treasures that filled the cabins of three full battleships. And treasure chests are stuffed to the brim.
Wealth is touching! Especially with such a huge wealth in front of him, if it is said to be incomparably rich, it is probably nothing more than that?
If these sailors and Spaniards might be a little jealous of the treasures on the ship and want to take risks to snatch them before seeing the terrifying little witch show her extraordinary power, then, in Bailang Bay Frozen Harbor After the incident, no one dared to have second thoughts again!
Because, not to mention the terrifying deterrent power of the witches, just the thousand mermaids that are following the battleship in the sea under the three ships are enough to make them tremble with fear!
Since the Magic Sail Dreadnought provided the power, the sailors who didn't need to handle the sails, having nothing to do at first, were gathering on the deck in twos and threes, and began to blow their leather with relish.
Before, after Anne bound the leaders of the mermaids, signed the contract, and spent a lot of effort to remove the thick ice caused by magic, many captured sailors were actually given away by those mermaids. return.
Originally, Little Anne, who found it troublesome, didn't want to accept these mermaids. It was only because of the persuasion of the twin sisters that she reluctantly accepted them. After the contractual restriction was imposed, she planned to take them back to Port Royal for Charlotte to deal with.
"Let me tell you, I'm afraid you must not have thought of it?"
"That mermaid, she kissed me! Really! After I was kissed by the mermaid, I could actually breathe directly in the sea for a short time! This is simply amazing!"
A sailor who was captured and sent back was bragging proudly to the sailors surrounding him.
This time, he not only survived the catastrophe, but also enjoyed a little bit of sex, seeing the strange environment of the deep sea and the exotic customs of the mermaid tribe. Maybe he can brag about this for a lifetime.
"Also, let me tell you! In fact, the reason why the mermaids captured us is not to eat!"
Seeing that the sailors around him were attracted by his words, he moved closer and whispered mysteriously.
"It's not for food? Then what is it for? Could it be that they have taken you away and kept you as a husband after they became like men?"
"Where is such a good thing?"
"Hahaha……"
A sailor who was listening began to retort after hearing it, and made an outrageous speculation. Then, a group of people made a fuss, exchanged glances and laughed lewdly.
"Hey! You're right! The reason why the mermaids caught us is to breed!"
Sailor A looked like a pig brother, and began to recall, while drooling, a little bit regretful at the same time.
At the beginning, when he was at the bottom of the sea, there were really a group of mermaids surrounding him, which dazzled him. Unfortunately, he was sent back before he had time to enjoy it. What a pity!
If it can be a little late for half a day, then...
"Ah bah! Just keep blowing!"
"Please! Don't you look at your crooked appearance,
Are you afraid of scaring them? "
"That's right! Even if the mermaids really want to find a man to fight back, they probably won't find you, right?"
The sailors next to him started to make noise again. Although they were booing now and kept retorting in their mouths, they didn't seem to believe the other party's words, but the envious and jealous expressions on their faces had already betrayed them.
"I swear to God! I never lied!"
The sailor who had experienced a deep-sea adventure became anxious, and began to swear loudly with a blushing neck. Then, after thinking about it, he continued to add:
"Think about it! Those mermaids, they are all women, aren't they?"
The first sailor was anxious to satisfy his superficial vanity by taxing these people to believe his word, and to make them envy him.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?! Mermaids are not women, so can they still be men?"
Everyone looked at him with disdain, and when they thought of the fact that there was a merman, they felt chills.
"So, here comes the question: If mermaids are all female, how do they reproduce? Have you ever thought about it?"
Thinking of this, Sailor A felt annoyed for a while, if, if those witches ordered the mermaids to let them come back, it would be nice if they could wait a little longer at night...
"this……"
Several sailors who were watching and listening began to look at each other in blank dismay. They really didn't know about this question.
"So, they caught us into the deep sea, in fact, to breed the next generation! They didn't just want to eat us! Right? They should always need a man to breed them, and, you heard before Did you say that mermaids catch women?"
Whether it was the mermaid that came out of the sea at that time, or what he saw in the mermaid tribe after being caught in the deep sea, this sailor, he had never seen any male or male mermaid.
It was because of this that his guess was strengthened. That's why he looked so remorseful now, wishing those mermaids would continue to drag him into the sea again.
"It makes sense..."
"Sounds pretty reliable..."
"Tsk tsk! Think about it carefully, this is really possible!"
"It should be true. Think about it, none of the people who were taken away died. If they wanted to eat people, wouldn't it be easier to drown them and bring them back to the tribe?"
After thinking about it carefully, the sailors began to discuss.
Indeed, when mermaids were raging in Bailang Bay, did you really never hear of a woman being taken away? Those who were captured, without exception, were all male sailors or soldiers! Of course, it may also be the reason why very few women serve as sailors or travel with ships?
"My God! So it can really be true?"
"It's not fair! Back then, why did I hug the mast so tightly? If I had known this was the case, I would have let them catch me too!"
Sailor B, who was watching, began to cry loudly.
Late last night, when the mermaids started to catch people, their strange whips had already stuck to his legs, but at that time, he clung to the mast desperately, and finally, when the whips pulled It was the rotten pants that saved him. He had been very thankful that the quality of the fabric of his pants was not very good.
However, now he deeply regrets it!
At that time, if they had known that they would be released back, they should have let them drag themselves into the sea. There was no danger to their lives, and they could also enjoy some romantic encounters and underwater adventures. This is a great benefit.
"..."
Sailor A couldn't help but feel complacent when he saw the shocked and envious faces of his companions around him.
Although he didn't know the saying that it's a blessing in disguise, but this does not prevent him from using it as a capital to become the envy and envy of others.
For this sailor, everything was fine, the only pity was that he was rescued too early, which made him less capital to continue bragging.
"Come on! You were sent back so quickly last night, it must have been a bad thing, right? What's there to be proud of?"
One of the sailors watching looked at Sailor A with disdain. Although he said so, he was actually a little jealous of the other party.
"That's right! This bastard must have failed to achieve a good thing!"
"That's right, that makes sense!"
"..."
A group of sailors began to discuss loudly again, the envious expressions on their faces were diluted a lot, and they soon began to talk about other things.
"It's not a big deal for him to be captured by the mermaid. Let me tell you, when we followed Lady Anne to find the treasure ship in San Diego this morning, what happened was the real excitement!"
When the group of sailors and soldiers were bragging and chatting with each other, a burly man who had been silent from the beginning finally interrupted and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Yes, Santiago! I've heard about that too, but I'm not very clear about the specific situation. Tell us quickly!"
They only know that in the morning, some people followed the witch to find the treasure ship San Diego, and soon after, a large amount of treasure was brought back!
They also heard that at that time, a powerful undead appeared on the treasure ship, but they didn't know exactly what it was.
"Don't rush, don't rush, just listen to me slowly! At that time, the situation was like this..."
After the strong sailor stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, he slowly began to talk about the details of the time.
...
After subduing the mermaid group in Bailang Bay, in the early morning of the next day, when the sun slowly rose from the sea level, Little Anne took the twin sisters, the pair of maids, and almost 300 sailors and soldiers. , followed the leading party Jack Sparrow to land at the port and landed.
They crossed the ruins of the abandoned Bailangwan port city and trekked through the jungle for nearly a morning. At noon, they finally arrived at their destination, at the bottom of a towering circular cliff.
"Look! This is my destination, and the San Diego is right there!"
Jack Sparrow led the crowd quickly to the bottom of a cliff eroded by sea water, stood on a pile of pebbles, and pointed to a dilapidated wooden sailboat on the high cliff.
"Our destination this time, the ship full of treasures, is on it!"
Sparrow pinched his orchid fingers, turned around, and smiled proudly at everyone.
Now, he, Jack Sparrow, has fulfilled his promise and brought the witches to find the treasure here. Then, when he returns, they will help him deal with some difficult enemies.
"It's really high..."
Annie looked up to the top of the cliff along with everyone.
Little Annie didn't understand, that ship, how did it hang on it? This is really amazing!
I saw that on the edge of the high cliff, half of the broken hull of the sailboat was exposed, and, most importantly, there seemed to be no way to go up here?
The most important thing was that the ship was already so dilapidated, she was really worried, if they stepped on that ship, would it break and fall off the cliff?
She didn't want to fly up with this large group of people, it would be too troublesome! So, she was going to find an easy way, not only to get the treasure on that ship, but also to see the undead inside, and that map?
"Hmph! There are indeed a lot of treasures in that ship, and it's full of gold, silver and jewels!"
At this time, Barbosa, who had been following the team all this time, finally came out, and said in a cautious tone while looking at the wrecked ship on the cliff with some seriousness.
"However, it contains not only treasures, but also an undead who does not want to die——Ponce de Leon!"
Even when Barbossa was cursed, they didn't dare to come here to disturb the long sleep of this real undead. Compared with their group of skeletons before, this is an evil existence.
"Who is that? Is it powerful? Is it the same as your previous curse?"
Anne is a little strange, if it's just undead, this strange uncle, when they were cursed before, he was similar to undead, right? Anyway, it's a bunch of disgusting skeletons, so why should he be afraid of this Ponce? Could it be that this one is very big? Especially fierce?
"Hmph! It's much more powerful than our previous curse!"
Basab looked at the little witch and began to recall.
"You have to know, before we were just cursed monsters who were immortal, we didn't have any superpowers except the immortal body, and this Ponce de Leon, it is said, he got it through The magic power of the Immortal Fountain has turned into an undead monster, which is much more evil!"
Barbossa quickly stated what he knew, and he believed that this legend was quite reliable.
"Huh? Didn't you guys say before that the Fountain of Youth can make people live forever? Why does it turn into undead?"
For this statement, Little Annie found it rather novel.
Originally, she was a little interested in this so-called fountain of youth, but now she heard that someone became an undead through the fountain of immortality? Is that still the Fountain of Immortality? It must be fake, right?
If someone really wants to become a lich or an undead, where is the need to find such redundant things? Wouldn't it be enough to use the transformation ceremony directly?
"Well, it's a long story..."
Basa Bo paused, and then continued to say:
"It is said that after Ponce de Leon and his party found the Fountain of Youth, he swallowed the entire ship's treasure in order to obtain eternal life. So, he tricked all the sailors and willingly drank the evil Fountain of Youth , while he himself secretly drank another cup dripping with mermaid tears..."
Speaking of this, Barbosa's seriousness flashed a trace of confusion and greed. He himself yearns for eternal life, but when he thinks about the days when he was cursed, they can also be said to be eternal existence. up.
However, when he thought of the painful state where life was worse than death, and the torture that seemed to be in hell all the time, he felt that it is better to have a limited life now!
"Originally, he thought that he could obtain the lives of all the sailors so as to achieve eternal life, and then use those treasures to live a carefree life! But he never thought that he was hit hard by the dying counterattack of the sailors who found out that something was wrong. And died, and soon after, he became an evil undead, guarding his treasure forever!"
"It's ridiculous that even if he is dead, he still can't forget the map that records the Fountain of Youth. Even if he turns into an undead skeleton, he still clings to his map."
Speaking of which, Barbossa began to laugh. In his opinion, that Ponce is just a poor wretch! Immortal, so what?
He has already experienced it himself, it is nothing but endless torture, that kind of lifeless false eternal life, he will never want it again!
"Wait! Isn't that right?"
Annie frowned more and more, and then interrupted Barbossa's words.
"Didn't he already drink the fountain of youth and gain the countless lifespans of other sailors? Then why would he still die? And become an undead?"
Annie said that it was understandable to be injured by the sailor's counterattack, because even if she herself encountered a powerful existence, she would still be injured! However, that Ponce, after gaining his lifespan, he was severely wounded and died and became an undead, which is a bit weird.
"That's because: The Fountain of Youth will only allow him to gain the lifespan of others, but it will not increase his own lifespan! These are two different things!"
"Ponce himself was severely injured by the sailors' counterattack, and then died soon! His own life span has come to an end!"
"However, due to the effect of the Fountain of Youth, he still has the lifespan of more than a hundred sailors on his body. Even if he turns into a skeleton after death, he will always survive in the form of a skeleton until this part of his lifespan Until it's over!"
Speaking of this, Basabo laughed wantonly again, the life span of more than a hundred people is enough for Ponce! This is really impossible to die...
That's the lifespan of more than a hundred people... How long is it? a thousand years? or more? This can really be said to be eternal life, right?
Take a look, this is a full tens of thousands of years! Moreover, in the form of the undead, there is no feeling or sense of touch. At night, you can't really sleep and fall asleep; Well, Barbosa and his group had only persisted for a mere ten years, and they were driven almost crazy.
And now, this Ponce, he still has tens of thousands of years to enjoy all this, this eternal hell-like pain... He really deserves it! He really asked for it!
"That's it... It seems that this Fountain of Youth is really not a good thing!"
Annie pondered for a while, depriving others of their lifespan, but what she got was a fake cursed lifespan. This is really not a good thing.
Originally, she wanted to see the so-called fountain of youth, but how could she have thought that it would be such a thing? So, she is now ready to give up looking for this spring water. In her mind, it is probably just a life-stealing transformation ritual. These idiots don't know, so they mistakenly think it is the fountain of youth?
"What else? There are quite a few people who know the legend of the Fountain of Youth! But why aren't many people eager to find it?"
Anyway, Barbossa felt that he would never use the Fountain of Youth himself!
Its side effects are too great! After being cursed by the Aztec gold coin, he was particularly disgusted with words like immortality. He would rather live a day as a living person than live a hundred years as an undead!
"My lord witch, what Barbossa just said may not be true!"
At this time, Jack Sparrow ran back from the front again, and talked next to Little Anne.
"There is another legend here: It is said that at that time, Ponce, they did not find the fountain of youth, and were attacked by mysterious natives on this island, and finally died here! Then, under the influence of his huge obsession Under the circumstances, he will become an evil undead, holding on to that map while dying, trying to find the mysterious fountain of youth?"
Jack Sparrow, who was fighting against the traitor Barbossa, ran over and told a different legend.
Anyway, as long as Barbossa agrees, he will oppose it! The more the other party didn't want to look for the Fountain of Youth, the more he, Sparrow, wanted to encourage the little witch to look for it!
"Okay, no matter what, let's get the treasure ship down first, the cliff is too high, and the ship looks tattered, I don't want to go up!"
Annie looked at the hull on the cliff, she didn't want these sailors to climb up, it would be a waste of time waiting for others to climb up; and she didn't want to fly up herself, for fear of trouble!
Besides, there is said to be an evil undead skeleton named Ponce on it. Under such circumstances, these sailors probably wouldn't dare to go up there, would they?
Then, you can only get the boat down first by yourself.
"Get it down? How? By cannonballing? Or by having someone climb up and tie a cable and pull it down?"
Hearing that the little witch was going to get the ship down, Jack Sparrow also felt that this method was more reliable, and doing so was better than sending people up.
As long as the boat is taken down, whether it is dealing with the undead inside or searching for those gold and silver treasures, it should become a little easier.
"Hmph! Don't be so troublesome, get out of the way!"
There are ropes for the cannon again, is it so troublesome?
Annie herself is a witch in what they call, since she is a witch, of course she should use the witch's method!
"Magic: Hand of the Super Mage!"
On the ground where Anne was standing, a blue surrounding magic circle suddenly appeared, scaring Jack Sparrow, Barbossa, and Norrington back several steps.
The ship on the cliff is too big and the distance is a little far away, so Anne needs the assistance of a magic circle to strengthen her spellcasting. Otherwise, the hand of an ordinary mage would not be able to move the big wooden boat on the cliff.
"this……"
A group of people watched in horror as the little witch was casting a spell. Then, they discovered that the ship on the cliff, the San Diego, had moved. The countless boulders and floating soil around it began to vibrate continuously and rolled off the cliff. When it came down, it hit a puddle below to splash water jets one by one.
"This cliff, it won't collapse, will it?"
After Jack Sparrow screamed, he quickly twisted his waist and ran to the back. This place is so close to the cliff, if any boulder falls here, it will kill someone!
However, when he started running, the movements of pinching his orchid fingers and exaggerating his buttocks made the twin sisters feel chills, and he almost couldn't hold back a fireball that hit him directly.
"Wow, you did a great job! Lady Witch Anne is mighty!"
In the distance, Jack Sparrow, who was standing still at a safe distance, began to shout and cheer loudly.
I saw that the dilapidated sailboat on the cliff slowly floated up from the cliff, and followed the direction of Anne's outstretched hand, slowly broke free from the cliff, and began to float at a constant speed down.
boom! ! !
Not far from the ground, little Annie suddenly let go of the floating spell, causing the whole ship to fall to the ground at once. After the violent impact, it fell apart, and then, bursts of Dust rose into the sky, and at the same time, countless gold, silver and jewels shot out from the shattered hull. Under the direct sunlight at noon, pieces of glittering gold scattered all over the surrounding ground and got everywhere.
"Who! Disturbed my sleep?!"
After the dust gradually dissipated, a tall skeleton with a crown on his head and ragged clothes, holding a musket in his right hand and a map in his left hand, slowly walked out of the smoke formed by the dust.
There is no doubt that this should be the unlucky guy who is suffering eternal torment: Ponce de Leon?
"You... all... are going to die... Come out, my undead servants, crush them!"
After seeing a large group of sailors and soldiers opposite him, the skeleton didn't push it too hard, but directly used his most proud undead skill of summoning skeleton servants.
The next moment, the ground around this circular canyon began to shake slowly, and then, one by one, dirty and tattered skeletons were holding all kinds of rusty swords and swords, or they had already been blocked by mud and sand. The tattered musket at the muzzle slowly struggled out from under the ground.
"Everyone, form an array! Prepare to attack!"
Seeing this change, Brigadier General Norrington and Commander Hilton of the Spaniards hurriedly shouted loudly, asking their respective men to quickly start deploying musket formations and prepare for the enemy.
"Aim! Shoot!!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless gunshots sounded like popping beans. Under the volley of British Royal Musketeers and Spanish Musketeers, countless standing skeletons were smashed by hot lead bullets with powerful kinetic energy, and then fell apart. A pile of useless bones, but more skeletons still rushed forward.
"Back! Reload quickly! Put on the bayonet!"
Norrington and Hilton, the military commanders of these two different countries, were still shouting sharply, their faces turning pale.
The number of these skeletons is really too much. It is estimated that less than a hundred of them were killed in a round of salvo of two hundred people just now? The other party, I'm afraid they won't give them a lot of time to reload, right?
"My lord witch, help me!"
Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Jack Sparrow, who originally wanted to run out of the canyon first, had to run back in embarrassment, twisting his ass.
Because, he found that there were also a large number of undead at the exit of the circular canyon, and they had already blocked the escape route. With him alone, he would definitely not be able to get out! So, he ran back again, and ran to the witch's side for protection.
In his mind, these skeletons and mortals might be difficult to deal with, but this little witch is different. She is so powerful that she can not only freeze the sea directly, but also grab such a big and heavy monster out of thin air. A sailing ship full of treasures, it must be very easy to deal with these skeletons, right?
If it is really impossible to deal with it, then you can grab Jack Sparrow and fly him away from this dangerous place, then it should be possible, right? These witches can all fly, so it must be no problem to take one or two people away!
"Hey... I hate undead, not for nothing..."
Looking around, at least three to five thousand undead appeared densely in an instant, little Annie sighed helplessly.
This kind of undead is really the most annoying! They never play one-on-one duels with you. Every time they make a move, they always summon hundreds of skeletons, zombies, or disgusting things like ghouls.
They are powerful but not powerful, but there are so many of them that they can exhaust people to death! If they are facing ordinary people.
However, in Little Annie's opinion, the big skeleton in front of her was easy to deal with.
It only summoned about three to five thousand undead? Here, there shouldn't be too many corpses for it to summon, right? Moreover, its own strength doesn't seem to be very powerful, it just has some strange abilities to wake up skeletons!
"flame……"
Then, in order not to waste time, Annie decided to burn it directly, and she didn't have time to play with this little skeleton here!
The first chapter, more than 8,100 words...
