Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 8 Quick Special Code Set Sail!
After looking outside the temple, Cheng Lang gritted his teeth, walked along the wall and went behind the stone statue. Then he gently swung the whip and wrapped it around the statue's neck to gain leverage. He stepped on the back of the savage statue and climbed up, leaving only a water stain spreading from the door.

When he stood on the shoulders of the kneeling savage stone statue, due to the height, the bonfires on the ground could no longer illuminate whether there was anything in the palms of the stone statues higher up.

Looking at the stone gate of the temple, Cheng Lang, with the simple thought that since he was already here, swung the whip again and wrapped it around the thumb of the stone statue's hand.

He used the same old trick, pulling the whip. He carefully climbed onto the giant palm using the slightly curved arm. There was actually something on it!
It was a dusty wooden box about the size of a shoebox. Although it had no lock, he couldn't open it no matter how hard he tried.

At that moment, there was a noise at the temple gate. A wild woman with long hair and a leather skirt wrapped around her waist walked in, carrying a roasted golden thigh on a golden tray! The leg was even wearing a shoe!

Before Cheng Lang could swing his whip, the female savage let out a loud cry, and the plate in her hand and the roasted thigh that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside fell to the ground with a clang on the stone floor that was still covered with water stains and footprints!
Hey!
Cheng Lang quickly lay down on the palm of the savage stone statue and carefully poked the mirror out.

With the help of the reflection in the mirror, he clearly saw that at least forty or fifty savages rushed into the temple, surrounded the old savage who was poisoned to death, and chattered in a dialect that Cheng Lang could not understand.

Some of them even looked up in the direction of Cheng Lang!

After putting away the small mirror, Cheng Lang made a shooting gesture with his hand. The mirror first showed the flintlock rifle in the captain's room. Seeing Cheng Lang shaking his head, he immediately replaced it with the cannons on the gun deck that had been looted not long ago.

This time, Cheng Lang nodded immediately.

Almost at the same time, the small Fujixiao led by Goku had jumped into the gun deck. They were in groups of two and were responsible for one gun. One of them just pulled lightly and the gun moved back one meter.

Another vine goblin directly used his long arm to grab a ball of wet cloth and poked it into the muzzle. After pulling it out, he flexibly switched his left and right hands and stuffed a bag of gunpowder into the muzzle.

When he pulled his arm out again, he went straight to the tail of the cannon, while the other one stuffed a solid cannonball directly into the muzzle and poked it in with his long arm.

He had just pulled his arm out when the person behind him pushed forward and hung the rope to resist recoil on the gun mount.

The person who was stuffing the shell in immediately picked up the red-hot iron rod in the charcoal bucket next to him and got ready.

Under Cheng Lang's remote observation, the captain of the small-sized Fujixiao, Wukong, suddenly swung his long arm, and the gorillas on the gun deck immediately poked the red-hot iron rod into the fuse at the tail of the gun one by one. The image in the mirror was immediately obscured by the thick gunpowder smoke.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of cannon fire that followed, solid shells crossed the sea and the beach one after another, and finally hit the tropical jungle some distance away from the temple.

This provocative bombardment immediately angered the savages on the island, and also allowed these savages in the temple to immediately find their "accomplices"!
Amidst the shouting and yelling, most of the savages rushed out of the temple, grabbed the rusty swords they had snatched, and rode on the crocodiles to rush towards the beach again without fear of death.

In the temple, Cheng Lang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stuffed the unopenable box into his arms. At this time, there were only five or six savages left in the temple, and looking at their angry yet helpless looks, it was clear that they did not dare to climb up, or were not allowed to climb up.

Just when he was thinking about how to kill those savages, he unexpectedly discovered that the Valkyrie statue opposite seemed to be getting closer and closer to him!
It was just a moment of distraction, and Cheng Lang immediately realized that something was wrong. It seemed that the balance of this wild man statue was broken by him!

"No, no, no, no, no, no!"

Amidst Cheng Lang's frightened mutterings, the statue of a savage who was half-kneeling on one knee, leaning forward, and trying to stretch his hands forward finally crashed into the lance-shaped weapon in the Valkyrie's hand with a "bang!"

At the critical moment, Cheng Lang subconsciously swung the whip and hooked it around the Valkyrie's neck.

However, just like after poking one basket with your front foot, there is bound to be a second basket waiting for you. Before he could stand firmly, and before he could stretch out the whip to let himself land, the huge Valkyrie statue actually fell on its back like a domino that was touched!
"Damn it!"

Cheng Lang was completely panicked. He didn't even have time to think about the savages who were running out subconsciously. He grabbed the gap in the armor of the Valkyrie statue with one hand while shouting in panic. At the same time, he swung the whip again, quickly hooked it on a stone pillar not far away, and quickly let go!

Under the dull gaze of the savages outside who had heard the noise and ran back, as well as the savages who had run out of the temple, the statue of the Valkyrie first hit the rock wall, and then spun around with a violent friction sound and slammed hard into the stone door of the temple!

"boom!"

Amidst the huge crash, although the Valkyrie was not damaged as a whole, she was able to block the stone door of the temple almost perfectly!
"Crack!"

At the same time, Cheng Lang, who had almost hit the stone pillar, also slipped down and sat on the body of the old savage, and seemed to have broken several ribs.

But when he looked at those people who were originally trying to block him in the temple, most of their bodies were pressed under the stone statue of the Valkyrie!
Cheng Lang subconsciously put his hands on the ground and accidentally touched the ugly face full of wrinkles, with blood oozing from the corner of the mouth due to his sitting on it. Then he jumped up with a scream as if his butt was equipped with springs.

He rubbed his burning face from being hit on the pillar, and rubbed his heart from being hit by the wooden box in his arms. Then he picked up the whip and looked at the temple entrance which was almost completely blocked.

After a while, the savages outside had already started banging on the stone wall. He knew that he had to leave here as soon as possible before the wall was broken down.

After feeling around left and right, up and down, Cheng Lang couldn't help but panic. The mirror he brought was gone!
After searching for a while while crouching down, he finally found the mirror fragments that were broken beyond repair, and the head of the savage statue that was also broken beyond repair.

"what is this?"

Cheng Lang squatted curiously beside the stone statue of a savage whose head was smashed due to losing balance and leaning forward.

His head had been completely separated from his neck and shattered into several pieces, but inside the broken stone head, there was an object emitting a faint sea-blue glow.

After a moment's hesitation, he brought out a golden oil lamp that had not yet been extinguished.

With the help of the light, he clearly saw that the thing emitting a faint blue glow was just a palm-sized scale of an unknown animal!
Unfortunately, the mirror, which was not very big to begin with, had already been smashed to pieces. Even if he wanted to ask the magic mirror for help, he couldn't do it.

After thinking it over, he simply put down the oil lamp, picked up a piece of gravel, and roughly knocked off the scale and the stone that wrapped it.

"What is this?"

Cheng Lang held the sea-blue scale and looked at it against the oil lamp. There were golden lines outlined on the scale.

After a moment's hesitation, he stuffed the scale into the small bag that came with the stolen belt. No matter what this scale was, the most important thing now was to get out of here.

Picking up the oil lamp again, he walked around the two stone statues that he had accidentally knocked over, and found that under the half-kneeling stone statue of the savage, there was actually a square, dark hole!
If the wild man statue hadn't been thrown off balance and tilted forward, the cave entrance would have been completely crushed by the statue. So, could it be that all of this was planned by the person who laid it out back then?

Suppressing his speculation, Cheng Lang carefully put the oil lamp in to take a look. It seemed that there was only a waterway under the cave entrance.

Could it be the waterfall leading to the outside?

Cheng Lang couldn't help but look at the stone gate behind him that was blocked by the Valkyrie. After a moment of hesitation, he put the oil lamp aside, carefully jumped into the waterway, and swam towards the pool.

In fact, the moment he sank into the waterway, he saw a dim light in the distance. When he swam over carefully, his guess was immediately confirmed. This was indeed the pool covered with a layer of gold coins!

Do you want to take some gold coins?

Cheng Lang hesitated for a brief second, and after some searching, he swung the whip underwater and entangled a golden statue of a Valkyrie that was about half a meter tall.

After trying to pull it, he decisively gave up and swung the whip again, wrapping it around a closer golden statue of Poseidon that was only the size of his arm.

This time he was able to pull it over. However, just as he pulled the golden statue to his side, a familiar roar came from the direction of the waterfall!

broken!

Cheng Lang felt a chill in his heart, and he quickly swam towards the narrow river that led to the island and finally flowed into the sea!

In just a moment, a crocodile that was even bigger than the one he had killed before suddenly rushed out from behind the waterfall!

The waves caused by the huge impact swept Cheng Lang in the water, the golden statue of Poseidon that he had tightly wrapped around his waist with a whip, and even a large number of gold coins in the pool, and rushed towards the sea at an unprecedented speed!

Amidst Cheng Lang's subconscious exclamations and screams, the huge crocodile also rushed over! And with it, the turbulent waves pushed Cheng Lang towards the sea at an increasingly faster speed!
Gradually, he even saw the Valkyrie parked behind the sunken ship in the last remaining sunset glow!

"Sail! Sail quickly! Sail quickly!"

Cheng Lang grabbed every opportunity to break out of the waves and shouted desperately. He felt that he was just the small piece of eggshell that accidentally fell into the bowl when beating eggs, and the huge, crazy crocodile behind him was the finger that reached into the bowl and tried to pinch him out!

Pushed by waves after waves, Cheng Lang returned to the sea in just a few breaths!
However, without the restriction of the river behind him, the waves finally stopped pushing him forward, and the crocodile opened its mouth wide and bit towards him!
“Fuck—ah—!”

Amidst Cheng Lang's distorted screams of panic, he swung the whip in his hand again, and the whip that was wrapped around the mast of the sunken ship began to tighten.

"clang!"

Amidst the loud noise that almost shattered the eardrums, the huge crocodile missed its bite. Cheng Lang also pulled the whip and crossed the stranded ship like a swing, drawing a huge parabola to fly towards the Valkyrie not far away!

"Set sail! Set sail!"

Cheng Lang shouted at the top of his lungs, and at the same time, he let go of the mast behind him with the whip and swung it out again.

But this time, he was still some distance away from the Valkyrie, and the whip couldn't even reach the side of the ship.

But when he looked behind him, he saw that the huge crocodile had already smashed the hull of the other side of the boat and was rushing towards him!

At this critical moment, the leader of the vine goblins, the Great Sage, swung a vine with force, which was tightly entangled with the whip swung by Cheng Lang.

Amid screams that echoed across the entire coastline, the Sea-Watching Vine, pulled by the Vine Goblins, dragged the captain almost to the top of the mast. At the same time, Wukong on the gun deck swung his arm vigorously, causing his Vine Goblins to fire one after another, and the shells hit the crocodile.

"Sail! Sail! Run!"

Cheng Lang shouted it again, and then realized belatedly that he seemed to be shouting in his native language. It would be strange if anyone could understand this code!

"Sail! Sail! Get rid of it!"

Cheng Lang, who was still hanging on the mast, shouted in the language he had inexplicably mastered.

Suddenly, several vine goblins pulled the cables, and the cool sea breeze immediately inflated the sails, pushing the Valkyrie towards the open sea amid the sound of artillery fire!

At the same time, Cheng Lang was caught off guard and was pushed off the horizontal pole by the bulging sail.

Fortunately, just as he was about to hit the deck, a gorilla caught him steadily in a princess-like position and placed him on the deck.

It was not until this time that Cheng Lang realized that he was still holding the golden statue of Poseidon tightly!

I would rather die than give up my wealth.
Cheng Lang, feeling weak in his hands and feet, sat on the deck and laughed foolishly. Then he took out the unopenable wooden box from his arms, and then took out the boat bottle and other things under his armpits to check them.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he was sure that everything was there and intact.

In any case, this adventure would be worth it even if we only brought back the golden statue, not to mention that we also brought back a mysterious box and a mysterious scale?
Right now, all they have to do is get rid of the crocodile that is chasing them as soon as possible, which doesn't seem to be difficult.

More importantly, through the adventure just now, he had more or less verified whether the magic mirror was trustworthy, which was a more important gain than the spoils he brought back from the island.

Cheng Lang stood up with the help of the thick mast. His hands and feet were still weak. He looked at the big and scary crocodile in the distance. He took a deep breath and began to mobilize the power of the center of the ship. He wanted to hide the Valkyrie!
