Magus Tech Chapter 431: The last fight!

Strike a rock.

One of the dangers of night navigation is running aground.

In fact, during the entire sea voyage, hitting the rocks is a possibility with a high probability. Because the reefs not only have clear reefs above the water surface, but also hidden reefs hidden under the water surface.

During the day, if the light is good, you can see the shadow of the underwater reef, and you can avoid it in time. But it was not yet full daylight, the sea was dark, and it was impossible to see where the reef was, so he hit it directly and hit the reef directly.

And the end result of hitting the reef is stranded-the ship is stuck in the reef.

To explain in detail, the bottom of the ship is lower than the reef. After hitting the reef, it continues to move forward under the action of inertia, and finally the bow is lifted up, the displacement is reduced, the buoyancy is less than gravity, and it cannot continue move.

And being unable to move means... the ghost ship that was finally thrown off will catch up in a short time.

Thinking of this, everyone on the deck couldn't help feeling cold. The passengers in the cabin on the bottom floor were all awakened by the violent shaking, and they all ran to the deck to check the situation.

"Damn it, you bastard, how did you drive the boat!" The first mate Williams reacted, and ran to the rudder in three steps in two steps, raising his fist to beat the helmsman.

"Stop, Williams, let go of Tomya, we haven't failed yet!" Captain Morgan shouted.

"Well, Captain?" The first mate Williams let go subconsciously, looked at Captain Morgan, and saw that Captain Morgan's face was abnormally blood red at this time, the blood vessels in his temples were bulging, and his expression was crazy and determined.

"Captain, we've hit the rocks, can we still save it?" the first mate Williams said. Although it was a question, in his heart, he already had a negative answer. He has been with the captain Morgan for a long time, and he knows a lot of navigation skills. He really doesn't think that he can quickly get out of trouble after hitting the rocks.

"There is salvation, there is salvation." Captain Morgan said, his voice was very firm, "Today is a full moon, and there will be a high tide. If the time is not mistaken, it will be shortly after dawn. At that time, the sea will rise, The boat will refloat. So... as long as we make the boat light enough, we can get off the rocks.”

Williams was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't expect such a method.

In fact, Captain Morgan did not expect that when he hit the rocks just now, he was in despair. But just when he was desperate, a voice suddenly reminded him from behind: "Wait for the tide!"

Captain Morgan reacted abruptly. He is now sailing offshore, and the chance of hitting a rock is high. This is a disadvantage, but one advantage is that it will be affected by the tide. Although he didn't know the reason, during the decades of sailing, he knew very well that the sea water would rise twice and fall twice every day. And at the beginning of the month and the middle of the month, the sea water rises even more alarmingly.

Today is the middle of the month!

Thinking of this, Captain Morgan looked back to find the person who reminded him, but he couldn't find it at all.

Time was limited, and there was no time to think about it. Captain Morgan quickly shouted at Williams who was about to hit someone, and then began to issue orders, hoping to win the last chance: "Everyone, give me all the things that can be thrown away on the ship." throw everything into the sea! Hurry up! If you don’t want to die, move!”

As soon as these words fell, the sailors and passengers on the deck were stunned for a moment, and then they all rushed into the cabin, and countless sundries were thrown out the next moment.

Tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, broken buckets with iron hooks, boots and clothes, tattered bedding, wood for repairing ships, iron ingots...

Not long after, the thrown debris floated all over the surrounding sea.

It was dawn, the sun rose, and the sea water fluctuated, and it was indeed rising.

The captain Morgan roared, constantly directing the sails to adjust the direction to adapt to the wind, so as to force the ship to retreat and get away from the reef.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The hull of the "Naru Glory Fisherman" made an incomparably piercing sound, as if it would fall apart at any moment, but it was indeed getting rid of the reef little by little.

Everyone cheered, and a smile appeared on Captain Morgan's face.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Captain! Ghost ship!"

As soon as everyone on the deck turned their heads, they saw a dark ghost ship appearing on the distant sea. During the time when it hit the rocks and was delayed, the ghost ship apparently did not stop at all, and caught up abruptly.

But there is still a distance.

There is still a distance!

Everyone thought very clearly at this moment, as long as the "Naru Rongguang Fisherman" got off the rocks and resumed sailing before the ghost ship traveled this distance, with the reduced hull again, the ghost ship was absolutely Can't catch up. But...if the Ghost travels this distance to catch up before getting off the rocks, then everything will be over.

Who will be faster?

Time to live and die! The most dangerous moment has arrived!

All of a sudden, everyone went crazy, whether they were sailors or passengers, they all ran to the front of the sail, with red eyes helping to control the sail, so that the ship could speed up to get rid of the reef and go backwards.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The "Naru Glory Fisherman" swayed wildly, exiting the reef area little by little...

Victory seemed to be at hand.

But... suddenly!

"Crack, boom!"

The "Naru Glory Fisherman" was shaken~IndoMTL.com~ suddenly tilted to the left!

"Da da da!"

A wet sailor ran up from the cabin, with despair on his face, and shouted: "Captain, captain! The left side of the bottom of the ship is pierced by stones! It is constantly leaking! Can't stop it!"

This!

Everyone on the deck instantly petrified, and Captain Morgan's expression froze.

"What, what did you say!" Captain Morgan seemed to have not heard the sailor's words clearly.

The sailor wiped the seawater off his face and shouted: "The left side of the bottom of the boat is pierced by rocks! It's leaking constantly! It can't be blocked! If you don't try to stop it, the boat will capsize!"

"Ka Ka Ka..."

Following the sailor's words, the ship tilted more and more to the left, and it was about to capsize—obviously, the sailor's words were not exaggerating at all.

"Damn it!" Captain Morgan scolded and shouted, "If you can't stop it, block it for me, or die!"

"But it really can't be blocked!" The sailor grabbed his hair and shouted, "I lost all the wood that blocked the ship, how can it be blocked!"

"Then cut open the right side of the bottom cabin, let the sea water completely fill the bottom cabin, and then seal the bottom and penultimate floor passages."

"In that case, we won't be able to leave the reef, so we can only stop here." Sailor said.

"I know!" Captain Morgan shouted, his eyes were red, he pulled out the long sword at his waist in a "swipe", turned his head to look at the ghost ship that was getting closer and closer on the sea, and said, "This **** luck , since you can’t leave it, you can’t leave it! I want to see, what is this ghost ship? Why does it keep chasing us!”

"Uh..."
