Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 5: Crocodile and Vine Mandrill (Thanks to Li Guang Bird Shooter for the huge reward, I will add more chapters for Li Guang Bird Shooter)
"Magic Mirror, if we don't kill that crocodile, is there any way we can leave?" Cheng Lang asked, secretly clenching his fists.

“Maybe”

The magic mirror replied, "After our ship is repaired, we can hatch the vine goblins. If the beast is willing to return to its lair by then, then we will have a chance.

Compared to these, I think the most important thing is to get as much fruit wine as possible before the other ship sinks to the bottom of the sea, before those savages do. They are the key to breeding vine goblins."

"So we must kill the crocodile."

Cheng Lang muttered to himself, he didn't think those savages would be willing to watch him carry their fruit wine onto the boat.

Hopefully, the jellyfish stinger that the ship's heart has given it will be effective against the crocodile.
Cheng Lang gritted his teeth, stood up and opened the door of the stair compartment.

"Captain, where are you going?" the magic mirror asked subconsciously.

Cheng Lang did not answer this question. He stepped into the thick blood mist and walked up the stairs to the open deck of the ship.

Looking down at the lazy crocodile, Cheng Lang took a deep breath and a black whip appeared in his hand.

"You can eat it!"

Cheng Lang got furious and swung the whip violently, causing the slender and soft whip tip, which was packed with deadly poison, to fly towards the crocodile's open mouth at an extremely fast speed!
Just when the whip was about to touch the tongue, the originally lazy crocodile seemed to wake up from a nightmare suddenly, and closed its mouth with extremely fast reaction!

"Snapped!"

With the loud sound of the whip, the tip of the whip began to inject a large amount of poison when it was bitten by the crocodile. The black whip also turned white from the whip handle part held by Cheng Lang's hand all the way to the whip tip!

In a flash, the crocodile also let out a painful roar, subconsciously bit the whip in its mouth and began to roll in death!

"Pfft!"

The defenseless Cheng Lang was dragged into the sea unexpectedly, but the whip was tightly wrapped around the crocodile's mouth!

Cheng Lang is a native fisherman, so he is naturally good at swimming. But after entering the water, he found that he was almost as flexible in the water as on land, and he even had better control over his body!

Before the madly rolling crocodile could swing its tail at him, he decisively released the whip, stepped on the water hard and dodged flexibly, and even used the water stirred up by the other party's tail to widen the distance between them!

After trying to summon the whip to no avail, Cheng Lang, who was fighting such a large beast for the first time, swam towards the boat opposite without thinking and slipped into the lower cabin through the gaping hole bitten by the crocodile.

Almost immediately, the crocodile rushed in, and thrust its big mouth, which was still tightly entangled by the whip, into the damaged part of the cabin. At the same time, it used its huge body and thick feet to tear open the relatively fragile hull!

"This special code is useless!"

Cheng Lang let out a panicked yell and ran upstairs for his life.

The crocodile, who felt that its entire mouth was paralyzed, naturally refused to give in. With its huge body and strength, it directly broke through the deck above its head!
Cheng Lang no longer cared about the whip at this time. He ran all the way to the open deck for his life, jumped into the water from the open deck, and deliberately ran towards the coastline away from the Valkyrie.

No matter what, the Valkyrie is his guarantee of leaving this horrible island, and he must not let that crocodile destroy it!
By the time he reached the rocky shoreline, the crocodile, its mouth still bound, had also climbed all the way onto the open deck.

Its huge body also forced the already leaking ship to run aground, leaving the entire lower cabin submerged in water.

After shaking its head left and right and finding that it couldn't get rid of the whip tied around its mouth, the crocodile swung its tail violently and easily broke the main mast of the ship. Then it jumped into the sea with a splash and rushed towards Cheng Lang, who was already on the shore and running towards the group of people who were leaving!
However, almost as soon as it rushed ashore, its movements became slower and slower, and its breathing became more and more difficult.

Finally, the huge crocodile completely stopped crawling. Immediately afterwards, the whip that was still wrapped around its mouth and had turned snow-white also turned blood red, dark red, and finally turned into its original black color from the tip of the whip all the way to the whip shaft.

But in this process, the crocodile seemed to have been drained of all its blood and turned into a huge crocodile tube.

After observing from a distance, Cheng Lang ran back cautiously, grasped the whip handle and shook it hard, easily retracting the whip that seemed to have become heavier.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp crack, the whip tip hit the crocodile's nose hard, but the crocodile did not react at all.

After making sure that the other party was dead, Cheng Lang quickly ran towards the big ship.

However, after all the commotion just now, the bottom cabin of the ship had sunk into the water, and a large amount of red wine and clear water was flowing out from the damaged cabin.

Cheng Lang ran back to the wrecked ship, which was even worse than the Valkyrie, as fast as he could. He was completely desperate. The series of death rolls by the crocodile just now almost destroyed all the cargo and oak barrels. All he could see were pieces of wood floating on the water!

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!
Cheng Lang didn't care about anything else and hurried into the cabin to start searching.

After all this effort, he finally found the remaining half barrel of fruit wine in a room that looked like a kitchen.

Carefully carrying the half barrel of fruit wine, he swam back to the lower cabin of the Valkyrie, which had not yet been fully repaired, at the fastest speed.

“I hope it’s enough.”

He placed the barrel under the mainmast, then passed through the secret door back to the cabin. Ignoring the flattering compliments of the magic mirror, he picked up the black gorilla sculpture and ran to the lower cabin.

After moving the ballast iron ingots and stuffing the sculpture in, Cheng Lang carefully opened the wooden stopper of the oak barrel and poured out the fruit wine inside bit by bit.

As the wine gurgled out, the aroma of wine gradually filled the cabin of the ship.

With the help of half a barrel of fruit wine, a light blue vine pushed open a gap in the iron ingots and stones that were used to hold the warehouse. Immediately afterwards, the vine climbed up the base of the thick main mast and began to grow upwards.

Half a barrel of wine had been drained out, but the vine had only climbed up less than a meter.

But at this time, he couldn't find the second barrel of fruit wine.

Just when he was worried, the vine seemed to smell the aroma of wine and extended a root to the damaged part of the lower cabin.

The next scene surprised Cheng Lang so much that he couldn't speak. Attracted by this root system, the wine washed out from the damaged part of the other boat by the sea water turned into a red stream and rushed straight towards him!
Under the influence of this wine, the light blue vines that were originally only as thick as fingers have become as thick as wrists, and most of them are embedded in the mast, leaving only circles of embossed vine patterns on the surface of the mast.

"No one told me this thing could hold so much alcohol."

As Cheng Lang muttered to himself, a large number of roots began to spread, and in the blink of an eye, the remaining masts of the ship were also covered with vines! Even the two toppled masts were easily lifted and pulled straight. Coming back to his senses from the daze, Cheng Lang rolled and crawled up the stairs back to the open deck.

At this time, all the ropes on the ship, including the anchor chain, have been replaced by light blue vines!
But there is not even a single leaf on this vine. Instead, it is covered with dense scales that are only the size of soybeans!
Gradually, the vines that replaced the ropes calmed down, and the scales gradually turned dark red and black.

Finally, just when all the wine flowing out of the bottom cabin of the other ship was almost sucked out, blood-red fruits with a lot of black scales began to grow everywhere on these vines.

These fruits were only the size of a fist at first, and gradually became the size of a watermelon.

But even in this last tremor, perhaps because of the lack of fruit wine, these vines and the fruits on them no longer changed.

At the same time, the blond captain who had led his men into the heart of the island finally lost all his men in the crazy and fearless siege of the savages. At this time, he was less than 10 meters away from the gate of the abandoned temple!

"You rubbish!" The captain cursed as he broke away from the battle group, leaving all the sailors behind and ran towards the coastline alone.

He is a captain, and his ship's heart has given him the gift of never getting lost at sea.

But such talent did not improve his combat effectiveness at all.

Fortunately, as he was born into a noble family, he had many ways to save his life.

Thinking of this, he took out a red tombstone from his arms that was only the size of his palm and was shining all over.

While the savages were besieging his men, he poked this pitiful little tombstone on the beach.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a crystal glass only the size of a thumb from his arms.

The cup was filled with blue liquid, but no matter how it was shaken, not a drop of the liquid spilled out.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp clang, the captain smashed the crystal glass hard on the tombstone.

Suddenly, a large amount of blue liquid gushed out, pouring all over the tombstone and the beach around it.

When the blue liquid in the cup was completely absorbed by the tombstone and the surrounding sea sand, the tombstone, which was originally only the size of a palm, became normal size. At this time, the captain had already retreated more than ten meters.

The next scene made Cheng Lang, who was standing on the deck watching with a telescope, drop his jaw in shock. The soil around the tombstone began to surge, and one broken corpse after another crawled out from under the yellow sand, waving rusty swords and even flintlock rifles and rushing towards the savages!
"Kill! Kill these primitives!"

The blond captain drew out his gorgeous rapier again and gave orders, and the corpses rushed towards the savages fearlessly!
After realizing what was happening, Cheng Lang immediately ran back to the room and ran to the stairwell where the magic mirror was hanging.

"What is that?" Cheng Lang shouted before running into the room.

"That's the tombstone of loyalty"

The magic mirror, who was also watching the distant battlefield, explained, "It is also an armor made from Poseidon's armor pieces, and is said to be the home of all loyal sailors.

After a loyal sailor unfortunately died in battle, if a tombstone was placed on the forehead of the corpse, the sailor's soul and body could voluntarily enter the tombstone.

Of course, the sailor's own wishes can also be ignored through some special methods, such as smearing some Poseidon's blood on the lips of the sailor's corpse.

In any case, in a critical moment, as long as a cup of Poseidon's blood is poured into it, the undead in the tombstone will be briefly resurrected to fight a final battle."

According to the magic mirror's narration, more and more savages and crocodiles fought against the undead.

But the blond captain just glanced viciously at the Valkyrie where Cheng Lang was. Judging from his posture, he seemed ready to command the undead to seize the ship at any time!
"I guess this gentleman has taken a fancy to our Valkyrie," the magic mirror reminded with a gloating look.

"Is the boat repaired?" Cheng Lang asked.

"Almost there, but the mast is up. Those vine goblins haven't eaten enough yet, they need more wine."

The magic mirror quickly switched the screen for Cheng Lang to take a look, and then switched back to the blond captain who was staring at him fiercely in the distance, "Dear Captain, what are you going to do?
Those undead at least have the advantage in numbers, with as many as two or three hundred of them. In my opinion, the best outcome is that they and the savages will both suffer losses. And I guess the captain will probably order the undead sailors to come and snatch the vine mandrill soon."

"So I can only kill him." Cheng Lang was silent for a long time and then said the only solution.

"Or give the boat to him and pray devoutly that he will sell you a ticket." The magic mirror said gloatingly.

After a moment's hesitation, Cheng Lang turned around silently and took a step forward.

"Remember to bring back his body and his belongings."

The magic mirror kindly reminded Cheng Lang from behind, "These nobles usually have a lot of good things on them, including the Loyalty Tombstone, which is also a precious piece of armor."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lang did not make any response, but walked into the lower cabin through the heart of the ship, passed through the last bit of damage that had not yet been repaired, left the cabin and jumped into the sea.

Diving back into the water, Cheng Lang, who had just killed a crocodile, had a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

He was a fisherman, and he had never killed anyone, but armed fights, or the ancient boarding wars, had not disappeared from the lives of these fishermen, and would never disappear!

Either you die or I die.

So you'd better die!

This is just the simplest multiple-choice question.

especially
Cheng Lang, hiding underwater, looked at everything around him, especially in such a wild and strange world that could even be called primitive.
