Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 3: Of course it was intentional! (Thanks to Blood Red Ghost for the huge reward! I will add more chapters for Blood Red Ghost)
In the hidden stair compartment, Cheng Lang stared at the magic mirror, his face much gloomier.

The collision just now was not randomly chosen, but was intentional, and the purpose was even very clear.

Destroying the rudder is as vicious as deliberately removing the steering wheel of the car next to you when parking - the other party is worried that this broken ship that has been stranded for a hundred years will run away!
In the image presented by the magic mirror, the sailors on the deck of the big ship were laughing wantonly, and a man dressed as a captain also drew the rapier at his waist and swung it towards the enemy.

Immediately afterwards, strong sailors began to board the ship, waving their scimitars.

"Can you hear the sound?" Cheng Lang asked in a low voice.

"I am just a mirror," the magic mirror replied.

"Okay." Cheng Lang continued to look at the picture in the mirror disappointedly.

He couldn't hear what the blond captain who came boarding said, but the sailors had already rushed into the cabin and started searching everywhere.

"Don't worry," the magic mirror explained in a low voice, "They are making sure the ship's heart is still beating."

"Will they find the center of the ship?" Cheng Lang asked nervously in a low voice. He had already heard someone coming in from outside the compartment door.

"Will not"

The Magic Mirror seemed extremely confident. "There's a false heart chamber beneath the forecastle. They'll find it. Once they see the dry heart pool, they'll let down their guard."

Sure enough, as the scene rotated, several sailors found a dry pool on the bottom floor of the forecastle.

A moment later, the sailors who had gained nothing reunited on the open deck of the stranded ship, and the spirited blond captain once again waved his gorgeous rapier and issued orders.

"You just said that it's been a hundred years since the ship ran aground?" Cheng Lang asked in a low voice.

"100 years, one month, seven days, 19 hours and 44 minutes" The magic mirror gave an extremely accurate answer.

Why are we still using flintlock rifles and swords after a hundred years?
Cheng Lang muttered to himself but did not express this doubt aloud. He had already reluctantly accepted the fact that he came to this strange world, and he also knew that he would probably encounter more "irrational" existences in the future.

At this moment, more and more sailors had begun to land using the broken ship as a springboard, and even the blond captain followed him onto the beach.

The captain carefully observed the footprints left by Cheng Lang, and then asked something to his left and right. The sailors who had just been searching the cabin also shook their heads in unison.

"They must be going to the island to look for vine goblins."

The magic mirror gloated, "That crocodile is an ancient beast. Its combat power is almost on par with that of a sea monster. We are not enough to fill its teeth."

"I wonder if there will be some sailors left on their ship," Cheng Lang said worriedly.

"At least there will be enough gunners left"

The magic mirror said firmly, "But that's useless. The scales of that beast can't be penetrated by artillery."

Just as he finished speaking, the magic mirror switched the scene to the deck of the large ship. What Cheng Lang and the magic mirror didn't expect was that the sailors on that ship actually pulled out naked men from the cabin!
Under the pressure of the surrounding sailors, these people also used the stranded Valkyrie to walk onto the beach.

Immediately afterwards, a man in a white uniform with red edges forced these people to drink something.

"Tom!"

Accompanied by the sudden sound of cannon fire, the scene shifted to the ship again, and its cannons opened fire!

Without exception, all those artillery pieces were fired towards the heart of the island!
"Roar--!"

With an earth-shaking roar, the birds on the island all flew up to the blue sky. Then, trees in the heart of the island in the magic mirror began to collapse one after another.

At the same time, the blond captain had already led his men along the footprints left by Cheng Lang and ran to the side of the island, leaving only those who had their hands and feet tied and seemed to have just taken poison, twisting their bodies weakly on the beach.

Almost subconsciously, Cheng Lang felt the urge to save them, but just as he put his hand on the door handle, a crocodile as big as a bus rushed out along the narrow river, shaking its head and tail! It swallowed four or five people in one gulp!
By the time he reacted, more than half of the twenty people had been swallowed by this ferocious crocodile!
At the same time, the cannons on the ship that had just arrived also began to roar, and the shells hit the crocodile accurately!
But these incredibly powerful shells seemed to be just scratching the crocodile, and they didn't cause any wounds at all. Instead, they aroused the crocodile's ferocity!
Under the alternating fire of the upper and lower double-layer artillery, although the crocodile was not injured, it was beaten back repeatedly and was never able to go underwater.

"That crocodile's fighting power on land is even weaker. If we let it into the sea, it will only take a few bites to open the hull."

The Magic Mirror explained with lingering fear, "Everyone underestimated its combat capabilities, including the previous captain of the Valkyrie and our new friend."

"Where's the poison?"

Cheng Lang forced himself to calm down and asked, "Where is the poison that those people who were used as bait just now took?"

"I do not know"

Magic Mirror shook his head. "Unless I know what poison they used, I doubt it will kill it. Otherwise, they could have just put down the bait and waited patiently at a distance. The poison would have only made it more docile at best."

"Then the captain took the opportunity to go to the crocodile's lair to look for this?" Cheng Lang asked, holding the black statue found in the lower cabin in his hand.

At the same time, in the image of the magic mirror, a group of savages with grass skirts around their waists and small crocodiles riding on their crotch appeared in the jungle!
Holding rusty swords, they fearlessly rushed towards the coastline. He could even see the excitement and ferocity on the ugly faces of these savages through the magic mirror!
"I guess so," the magic mirror said, but found that Cheng Lang had once again pushed open the wooden door leading to the secret room in the center of the ship.

"What are you going to do?" the magic mirror asked hurriedly.

"Repairing the ship is a rare opportunity for us."

Before Cheng Lang finished speaking, he had already run down the stairs into the secret room, opened the boxes against the wall again, picked up a bunch of blood-red wooden poles and threw them into the pool of water that soaked the heart of the ship.

Did he do it on purpose?

Of course it was intentional!

Who told you to deliberately dismantle my steering wheel!
Since you took apart my steering wheel, don't blame me for setting off firecrackers when you were refueling!
