Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 4 Necessity (Thanks to Blood Red Ghost for the huge reward! Extra chapter for Blood Red Ghost!)

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Almost at the moment these wooden poles, called iron-rubber-blood cores, were thrown in, the sea water in the pool began to boil and countless bubbles appeared. The heart also swelled in an instant and then began to beat faster!
Amidst the increasingly rapid heartbeats, crabs the size of coins emerged from all over the ship. They stuck to the walls and the cracks in the decks, crawling all over the ship at an extremely fast speed, spitting out tiny red bubbles in the damaged parts of the cabins, wooden doors, decks, and even furniture.

As these small bubbles burst one after another, the damaged areas began to grow and repair themselves, and the interior of the hull and even the deck were gradually covered by an increasingly thick blood mist!
The strange phenomenon of this ship undoubtedly attracted the attention of the other ship, and unsurprisingly caused the sailors who stayed behind to panic for a moment, so that the originally neat and orderly artillery fire became chaotic!
This tiny mistake caused by the noise deliberately created by Cheng Lang created a precious opportunity for the crocodiles on the shore and the savages riding on them.

In the blink of an eye, the huge crocodile rushed into the rocky sea, and the savages rode on the small crocodiles and rushed out of the range of cannons and flintlock rifles.

In fact, a considerable number of savages directly rushed onto the stranded Valkyrie, and used it as a springboard, rushing onto the ship waving rusty swords!
At this point, the brutal one-sided massacre turned into an even more brutal boarding battle. The sailboat that had driven its ram into the Valkyrie's waterline also hurriedly began to hoist its sails and try to retreat.

"Crackling——"

Amidst the harsh and sour friction sound, the huge ram was about to leave the Valkyrie, but several savages had already cut the sail cables with their rusty swords. One of the savages, who had been hit by flintlock rifles countless times, even rushed onto the open-air bridge and killed the helmsman with a knife before he died!
"Crack! Click!"

The huge crocodile also rushed into the sea and bit through the hull of the ship with just two bites!
The defeat began here.

As more and more savages rushed onto the ship and even broke into the two gun decks, even the guns stopped firing one after another.

Amid the sound of running, a savage was already returning to the beach on the Valkyrie, carrying a sailor who didn't know whether to live or die. After stacking the corpses in his hands and sitting under his butt, he couldn't wait to pull out the wooden stick on his waist and started to make fire by rubbing two sticks together!
When Cheng Lang returned to the stairwell, the fighting was almost over. More and more savages were carrying sailors back to the beach, and some of them had even impaled the bodies of their companions with thick wooden poles!

At the same time, in the heart of the island, the captain, with his most capable sailors, started a fight with the old and weak savages who stayed behind and the few remaining small crocodiles, taking advantage of the situation!

However, when the sound of artillery fire from the coast began to become chaotic, the young captain began to have bad thoughts.

"Go support the coastline!"

The captain gave the order, and they were now only a few dozen meters away from the ruined stone temple covered by vines!
"Captain, gold! There's gold!"

A sailor pointed at a pool of water under a small waterfall not far away and shouted greedily, and many sailors couldn't help but look over.

Just to the side of the abandoned temple, in the pool under the small waterfall, there was a dazzling golden light flashing!
"Keep killing!"

The young captain changed his mind instantly. Even if the ship was destroyed, as long as he found the Vine Goblin, he would be confident enough to leave here!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch the bottle in the leather bag on his chest.

The bottle was half full of grape wine, and above the wine, there was a beautiful little sailboat floating. This was the key to his confidence in leaving here!
But he had calculated everything, except for the variable that appeared on the coastline, which was not the crocodile's huge fighting power.

"That crocodile seems to be slowing down!"

In the secret room, the magic mirror switched the image to the sea surface at the angle between the two ships. At this time, the huge crocodile was floating quietly and lazily on the blood-stained sea surface. It even opened its mouth wide, allowing the sea water to wash away the rotten meat and bones stuck between its thick and sharp teeth.

"How far has the ship been repaired?" Cheng Lang was more concerned about other issues at this time.

"The lower cabin has not been repaired yet, and the collision with the ship just now broke our rudder." The magic mirror immediately changed the picture. At this time, the damage to the lower cabin had been reduced by about one-fifth. At this rate, it would probably take at least another hour to repair the leaking lower cabin.

Could it be that there was not enough material added?

Cheng Lang thought about this and asked, "Magic Mirror, how many Iron Rubber Blood Cores do I need to repair this boat?"

“You asked a question I can’t answer.”

The magic mirror quickly revealed its pale, flattering face and explained, "Saint Barbaya doesn't want me to offer advice to the captain she loves regarding seafaring matters, so I don't have a deep understanding of shipbuilding, and I'm not allowed to learn any related knowledge."

"Help me keep an eye on the situation outside"

Cheng Lang said this and turned around and went into the ventricle of the ship again.

At this time, the pool of water that soaked the heart of the ship had turned blood red and no more bubbles were coming out. The iron rubber blood core had also been completely dissolved in it.

It seems that it is really not enough.
Cheng Lang got angry and simply took out all the remaining hundred or so iron rubber blood cores in the opened box and threw them into the pool.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The moment these wooden sticks were thrown in, the heart, which had become much fuller, beat faster again, and more bubbles emerged from the pool.

Correspondingly, the blood mist emitted by the ship became thicker and thicker, and the little crabs in the blood mist became much more diligent.

After returning to the stairwell and observing himself in the mirror, Cheng Lang returned to the cabin and opened the other two wooden boxes.

Unfortunately, to his great regret, both boxes were empty, and not even a single iron rubber blood core was found.

Helplessly returning to the stairwell, he didn't have time to ask anything when the magic mirror said, "Those savages ran away!"

Looking up at the magic mirror, in the picture, those savages, for some reason, put down the "food" roasting on the bonfire that had just been lit, and rode the crocodiles like crazy to the heart of the island.

However, the largest crocodile was still lazily floating in the sea between the two boats, basking in the sun leisurely.

Can I kill this crocodile?

A crazy idea popped up in Cheng Lang's mind. If he killed it, the crocodile was lazy at this time, which was the best opportunity.

So, do I need to kill it?
