Chapter 221 The Widowmaker
Kahn held Kasha and sat on the shaking bow of the ship, watching Drizzt fiddling with his cards at the stern.
The latter opened three cards in turn, then took them back to shuffle them, and repeated many times.
Tonight's technique is the old-school tradition of the river wanderer. The result of opening the card made him look up and his eyebrows may be rewarded, but he must do his best.
In this way, listening to the bells from Bilgewater rang for the third time, they finally arrived at a reef-covered sea area.
This is a dense forest composed of sharp reefs, and the rugged reefs are like daggers erected from the sea.
Of course, the reefs exposed to the sea are not a problem. If you take care of a boat, the invisible sharp knife is the real killer.
The reason why this reef is called the "widow maker" is because they have taken dozens of ships over the years.
Kahn could see the wreckage of the ship that stranded the reef.
The broken mast is embedded in the middle of the reef, and the broken wooden boards are spinning with the vortex, and the rotten climbing net is wrapped around the sharp top of the reef.
Most of these are attributed to those stupid captains who are reluctant to spend money to hire the Baru people to lead the port.
Save money but lose your life.
The benefits of small boats are reflected here.
Under the helm of Graves, the boat flexibly shuttled through the reefs like sharp knives, as if walking on a blade.
Drizzt reminded Grayfos to adjust his course by constantly opening the cards, so that the boat could sail to its destination.
When the fourth bell of Bilgewater was coming, Drizzt opened the last card and said, "We are here, I really didn't expect that we can draw so far."
Grayfors stopped the paddle, and Kahnkasha also stood up slightly and looked forward.
A rugged reef towers high above the sea, big enough to be called an island, but it looks no different from any other reef.
"It's really here?" Graves always felt that the treasure hiding place was too low-key, and this was the place where the Abyss Crown was hidden?
"It's true," said Drizzt. "I've read it many times, and the cards always tell me that it's here and the altar is inside."
Grayfors had nothing to say, and could only trust Drizzt and rowed the boat to the smooth rock surface facing the wind.
The sea surface was rising and falling, as if it was about to smash us onto the reef at any time. Graves stabilized the ship with his rich experience and decisively threw the anchor off.
"How do we climb up?"
But the problem followed. He didn't see the entrance on the front just now, and now he couldn't see it on the back. The reef was wet with the sea water, and it felt smooth and there was no place to stay.
"Not going up." Drizzt pointed his hand out of the side of the ship, below the water: "The entrance is below."
Graves' heart was cold and then looked at Kahn. The two of them looked as usual, without any turmoil.
He suddenly remembered that Kahn had already expected the current situation before, and if he had done so, then this intuition would be too terrible.
"If you are afraid, you will be on the boat. I will go in alone. Of course, you have to ask our employer's opinions first."
Drizzt smiled wickedly. Although he didn't understand why Kahn and the other two had to take risks themselves, this trip was not easy at first glance.
"So that you can escape with the goods alone? Don't think of good things." Graves said viciously, and then began to take off his coat and boots.
"Don't talk nonsense, I can't escape that far." Drizzt was eager to clarify.
The Widow Maker is not close to Bilgewater, and his teleportation magic cannot teleport that far.
Kahn meant to ask both of them to enter the altar. He watched Grayfors load the bullets and cigars to make sure they were not touched. He checked carefully and then wrapped the large double-barrel shotgun tightly with a tarp, then tied it firmly to his back and rolled up his sleeves.
"Where is this tunnel?" Graves murmured at last, took a deep breath, sank into the sea like an anchor, looking for a tunnel to the altar.
Drizzt looked at Grayfors getting into the water and asked the remaining two: "Do you want to go in too?"
"Go!" Kahn replied firmly: "We must see the Abyss Crown as soon as possible."
Seeing this, Drizzt stopped talking. A card bounced into his hand from his sleeve and flipped back and forth lightly between his fingers, as natural as breathing.
Drizzt put the cards in front of him, put them away from his thoughts, and focused their spirit on them. Then the cards gradually lit up blue light, and countless images appeared in the light, and a huge sense of oppression followed.
He concentrated on his spirit and found his destination in the layers of pictures.
Then his body swayed, and a wild light and shadow flew away. Drizzt disappeared in front of the two of them, leaving only a slowly falling card, which had lost all its magic.
"Have you become a living person? Have a good time." Kahn commented, and his originally serious face immediately changed into a relaxed expression.
He picked up two Bilgewater scimitars and placed one of them in Kasha's hand. The grip of this scimitar is carved into the image of a sea snake, so it is particularly popular in Bilgewater.
During the handover, Kahn asked her: "Kasha, do you still remember the character we are going to play?"
"Two little devils who are obsessed with exploring the treasures of shipwrecks and becoming legends at sea." Kasha said.
"When encountering monsters, try not to expose your skin armor, use swords, guns and attacks, act weaker, let them relax their guard and think we can bully."
After giving instructions, Kahn covered his skin armor, and jumped into the water with a knife and a gun in one hand. Kahsha followed behind him.
...
The water was cold and dark, and I didn't know what the hell was running around in front of Grayfos' eyes, flashing in the afterglow.
He dived quickly and saw a small blue circle under the reef, which was the entrance to the passage.
Without thinking too much, he swam in quickly.
The passage is darker and not wide. You can scratch the smooth stone walls on both sides by scratching your fingers.
There was light in front of him, so he pedaled the stone wall and swam forward, thinking it was a way out, but unexpectedly it was a glowing jellyfish.
The jellyfish's tentacles floated like a deadly trawl, and Grayfors swam around it until he hit a wall directly in front of him.
He was like a rat sealed into a bucket and was about to drown.
Panic surged like a tide, and the survival instinct made Grayfos desperately swim upwards, and then hit the rock at the top again.
He was almost at the limit of holding his breath. The air in his lungs was like a poisonous miasma. He was desperate and groping around and finally found an exit at the last moment.
He swam over with his last bit of strength, broke through the water, and took a deep breath.
It's great to be alive!
The moonlight shone on Grayfos' head, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then scolded the bastard.
It turned out that there was a road above, but Drizzt didn't say it. He would have thought of a way to walk from above if he had known it.
