"Oh? What's the meaning of you and me? We don't know each other before, but I know that people will have a purpose in everything they do. What is your purpose?" Li Yi looked at the old man vigilantly. The other party followed his words and followed his thoughts often from the heart.
"You are right, but some people do something, and they don't even know the purpose of it. It's just a guide from the subconscious mind. You can think that the old man likes to sigh! But, I also have some things I wanted to tell you, I was too lazy to come out and you, but now with the help of this storm, I have the urge to come out and go, and I will go with you by the way!" A glimmer of light flashed across Fran's dim old eyes. He took out a cigarette from his arms, shook his hand twice before rubbing the match and lit it.
"What is it?" Li Yi was a little impatient. An old guy sitting next to him who could not see through. He really didn't like it. He was originally watching Leng Yu alone and thought about something. After being disturbed by this old guy, the soup in his hand was almost cold. He picked it up and drank it all, "To be honest, I don't welcome you very much. If you have anything to do, finish it quickly."
"I don't know what this old man has, let's listen to him and see what he has to say!" Li Yi glanced at Fran, who seemed to be sleepy at the corners of his eyes. His good mood just now disappeared. Isn't this entangled old guy just trying to find out his details and just ask directly, and he's going to make tricks and think I'm a fool?
"I have to intervene in your affairs with Brass. It is not good for young people to fight to death like this. After all, something happened to him on the White Rose. The responsibility must be taken on Michelle, which is something I don't want to see. Michelle and I have worked together for many years. We have formed a strong bond of interests. Anyone who wants to destroy this bond will be targeted by me. Maybe you are young and ignorant, and you have a little strength and want to do whatever you want. You should kill people who don't like them. Young people should not be too arrogant. The reason why you can easily break the steel is what I want to teach you. Brass is the high-ranking heir of the Buesventula family. You can't afford to provoke this family. In addition, take off your mask. I don't like guys who hide their heads and tails." Fran used a heart-to-heart talk tone, as if a master was teaching a lesson.
"Haha, what a joke." Li Yi couldn't help laughing. He turned his head and glanced at the old man and said, "Do you think this is enough to humiliate me and make me angry, so you can see my details? I don't know if you are old or really stupid. Let's be honest, how much benefits Brass has given you, I can give you double, don't doubt my financial resources. In addition, compared with the forces behind me, the Buesventula family is a bed bug. It was easily crushed to death."
He was not blind, and he was familiar with some of the senior staff, whether it was Sky Court or the Kent family.
"It turns out that I am a scheming young man. I didn't irritate you. It's not easy to do this. Let me tell you, I didn't take any benefits from Brass. There will be a period of time!" Fran nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He stood up and returned to his house. The rain fell on him, but it did not wet his clothes, but instead flowed down an invisible barrier.
Li Yi frowned and analyzed Fran's words, "If he was from Brass' side - I don't think so, the act of angering me just was just a test of my scheming. It seems that he is loyal to Michelle and does not know what purpose it is. However, in order to ensure Michelle's interests, he will definitely not let me kill Brass. Then Brass will not stop him from doing something against me. Humph, it seems that he is still against me in disguise and must be removed first."
The heavy rain gradually showed its power. The rain feet jumped on the deck, and the continuous rain curtains pressed down layer by layer. The strong wind pulled the cool umbrella around. Li Yi had to curl up on the chair to prevent water from pouring into his body. The sea surface in the distance was pitch black, and occasionally bright blue lightning broke into the sea, and bursting thunder sounded, just like a giant snake in the clouds stretched its blue tongue into the sea.
A strong wind blew, Li Yi choked and coughed a few times. He felt that the wind was even more violent and the raindrops became more and more rapid. A foot-thick puddle formed on the deck. The White Rose rosy swayed violently in the wind and rain, just like people shaking the persimmon trees in autumn to let the ripe persimmon fall.
"The wind and waves are too strong, and the rain makes me breathless. I feel very uncomfortable." Li Yi wiped the water droplets on his face and prepared to return to his cabin. He had to eat cured meat and fish for dinner. The fruits were quantified. Fortunately, some juice and food were stored in the space ring. The space in the ring was completely isolated from the world. Even time was eternal. When the hot food was put in, it was still the same temperature after a few days.
Feld was not afraid of the rain. He chewed the childish roe in his mouth, which was very comfortable. He only slept or ate all day long. He had to wait until his spiritual power accumulated to a certain extent before training and compressing it into a refined structural organization.
Just as Li Yi was about to step into the cabin, a large group of unknown things broke into his perception. These densely packed creatures released faint spiritual power, covering several miles of the sea, making a storm.
"It's so dense, shaped like a sea snake but even shorter and thicker, and it's a sea worm!" Li Yi took a deep breath and rang the alarm! This time he was not reminding his companions to hunt, but to run away.
"What happened?" asked Michelle, who ran to the deck and braved the heavy rain.
"The starboard position, five hundred meters away, a group of sea worms! Escape quickly, otherwise the ship will be gone!" Li Yi quickly explained.
Sea worms are a strange creature in the sea. Although they are not spirits, they have spiritual power. Their bodies are like earthworms, extremely hard. They swim in a cluster of millions of places, and there is no grass growing in the place where they swim. Even coral reefs are chewed and swallowed by them. What's even more terrifying is that the surface of adult sea worms is strong enough to resist gold-level spiritual skills! This makes them roaming in the sea and is a nightmare for all ships and creatures. Once, a team of gold-level explorers was swallowed half of the spirits alive after encountering sea worms, and the rest escaped by chance.
Michelle took the telescope from Li Yi and vaguely saw a large area of ​​gray-brown worms rolling in the sea water and swimming towards this side with the lightning. The speed was extremely fast!
"No, it's really sea worms. They lock their targets through odor recognition. If they don't pull them a kilometer away, they will chase them by following the odor!" She said in shock: "Oh my God, it's so bad."
The White Rose immediately switched to the spiritual power drive mode, separated the waves, and advanced against the rain. The spiritual power drive consumed spiritual crystals very much, and the money was spread to everyone's heads. Li Yi was not panicked. Anyway, the White Rose was not his property, so it was the captain who was anxious. If the ship was destroyed, he would escape on a floating boat and scattered in a beast.
"In the past few days of voyage, except for the good luck, encountering a few spirits in the sea, some of the income is not enough for the spirit crystals consumed when the White Rose spiritual power is driven. I really don't know what Michelle and his group rely on to make a fortune. If there is no benefit, I would just kill Blas and leave, and make a living. And I doubt that if they follow them to the northern ice field, they can capture high-quality ice spirits and sell them for a good price." Li Yi stayed in the cabin. He had no sense of crisis about the coming sea worms. Instead, he doubted whether the sea team could find great benefits. He didn't understand. The vast sea surface was endless, but where was the wealth? Is it buried deep under the sea?
There was a mess on the ship, and Michel calculated a very bad news. The sea worms were much faster than theirs, so they could only discharge water from the bottom of the bilge, reduce the draft of the ship, and then sail at a faster speed after the load was lighter. Forced drainage required several powerful spirits. Feld was requisitioned. Although he was not very happy, he could only obey the captain's orders.
Li Yi frowned and saw countless sea worms rushing towards the sea behind him. Each one was as thick as a child's arms, covered with thick gray-brown iron armor, and his body twisted forward. Their turbine-shaped steel teeth kept chewing, as if they were about to swallow everything. This strange creature was not a big appetite, but was excreted too quickly. The things they had just eaten were quickly sent out of their bodies, so they were hungry most of the time and had to put something into their stomachs to satisfy them.
"If these gluttonous diners want to eat the captain's ship, how can heaven create such insects? They are hungry all their lives, so it's better to die." Li Yi looked at the insects getting closer and closer, and a burst of disgust surged in his heart.
The explorer began to drive away the sea worms close to the White Rose. Various spiritual techniques penetrated into the insect swarm, but they could only stop it for a while. The insects squeezed up even more violently, trying to eat the ship and everything on the ship.
Li Yi held a musket and fired a few shots, but it was useless. Feld also became interested when he saw such a strange creature. He threw a rope into the sea. When he dragged it up, the rope was densely biting a large number of insects.
"I'll try the taste, what to see!" Revealed the surprise eyes of the explorers, Feld mumbled a few words, pulling a sea worm and stuffing it into his mouth. After a crisp sound, he spit out a lot of hard shells and residues, "It's really unpalatable, it's all shells, and there's no meat at all."
Not to mention Feld's nauseous behavior of swallowing sea worms alive, the explorers tried their best to prevent the sea worms from approaching. Seeing this large group of gathering monsters gradually approaching the stern, and even began to chew on the tail rudder, making a sour sound, and the metal tail rudder would not chew on it in an instant!
"No, the boat cannot turn. After a while, even the bottom of the boat will be gnawed out. At that time, we can only abandon the boat and escape. We sailed on the sea for a week without any benefits. We will end and disperse each other." Li Yi frowned. While he speculated, he looked for Brass' figure.
Blas squatted on the mast with a cold face, and the Cassi golden crow sat next to him. Anyway, the sea worms could not fly, so he was also watching Li Yi. After the ship was destroyed, Li Yi would definitely escape on a floating boat. As long as he attacked him from a high altitude on the Cassi golden crow and sank his floating boat, he would drown alive and become a dry bone at the bottom of the sea. When he thought of the insult he had been to himself that day, Blas wanted to go crazy, like an invasive virgin.
"Hmph, idiot, I'm still thinking about sinking my floating boat from the sky. You're just here!" Li Yi sneered secretly, and he made intrigue and plotted against each other. He was very good at it. He could guess what the other party was thinking at a glance.
The man with hat was very anxious. He kept walking back and forth, and finally stopped to Michelle: "Captain, use high-heat fuel!"
"No, fuel must be used when breaking the ice, otherwise our ship will not be able to break through the ice blockade even if it reaches the northern ice field, and can only return in vain. Oh, why did you encounter Shanghai worms? All your plans are disrupted!" Michelle anxiously raised his fists and knocked them hard on the console.
"Captain, if there is no fuel, the White Rose will be destroyed, and those two guys will definitely fight," the lazy old man Fran stood up at this time. He glanced at Li Yi and Brass standing on the mast from the corner of his eyes. "And the White Rose itself is much more valuable than the high-quality ice spirits on the ice field. Besides, we can kill other fleets on the ice field to obtain their fuel use."
This suggestion made Michelle hesitate for a moment, and finally agreed. With the newly recruited guys who were like wolves and tigers on board, it is still easy to get some fuel. You should get through the difficulties in front of you first. At least things have not reached the worst level.
Bras also found Li Yi observing him, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. Cassie Jinwu felt his master's will, tilted the bird's head, staring at Li Yi with blood-red eyes, his feathers standing upright, and his figure widened.
The two of them were full of gunpowder and didn't care about the worms in the sea. At this time, Michelle walked out of the captain's room, wearing a women's suit and a pencil skirt, and high heels stepped on the deck with crisp sounds. Even though the raindrops were densely packed like fried beans, the sound still reached everyone's ears through layers of rain.
The man in the hat held an oil barrel in his hand, which looked very heavy. Several sailors were helping to pour black fuel into the sea. These oils were not ordinary fuels, but were made of rotten corpses from a shellfish in the deep sea. Once they were touched, they were like maggots attached to bones, which were difficult to erase. They could still burn in the sea, and at the same time released high heat and burned everything. Although the sea worms had a hard shell, they could not resist such a fire.
The man in the hat threw the cigarette in his mouth into the sea, and the flames rose more than ten feet high, and crackling sounds sounded on the sea surface, and a burnt smell came, "Go to hell!" He did this.
"Well, it's solved. It's so easy. Why didn't these oils come out earlier?" Li Yi held his chin and looked at the scrambled insects on the sea, thinking, "It seems that these oils are either expensive or have special uses. If we contact our destination is the northern ice field, then they must use fuel to melt the ice surface and break the ice forward. Now there is no more, so they have to grab the person who is traveling with them. The captain has made a good idea." He shook his head and guessed the purpose of the fuel. This was a waste of another means. He didn't know what to do next time he encountered a worm.
