Chapter 13 Upside Down Mountain and Countercurrent
We are still in the Four Seas now. If we were to go to the great sea route in my impression, it would probably be cold by now.
Seeing that Barlow was still hesitating, Changnuo continued to smile and asked, "Do you have any reward money now?"
Upon hearing this, Barlow instantly became energetic, and then said arrogantly, "The amount of the reward I am offering is 300,000 Baileys."
"Doesn't that mean you are just a small mobile money bag? But with your strength, you probably won't have to wait until you arrive at Upside Down Mountain, and you will have already been captured by others to exchange money."
Chang Nuo said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Captain, you forgot about the two bounty hunters we met a few days ago. We almost died!"
The two crew members looked at Baluo with prayerful faces. It was rare that they had such a good place to stay this time. Although a group of people also wanted to take risks, it just seemed that it might be much safer this way.
How could Barlow not understand this thing? However, he also needs to give himself a higher level for many things and be responsible for these brothers.
They are not extremely evil people in the first place, they just have a hard life, and they finally choose to become pirates.
Barlow thought for a while, then stood respectfully in front of Chang Nuo, bowed directly and said, "Barlow, the captain of the Barlow Pirates, from today on, I am willing to be your navigator, my majesty."
It is normal to see Barlow compromise. After all, due to the powerful group of people, there is almost no choice for these pirates.
Chang Nuo just wants to find a navigator as soon as possible and leave this ghost place. As for the future, we will talk about it later. Anyway, there is no need to worry about anything happening to them.
But among this group of people, Chang Nuo was quite unexpected.
Although their entire pirate group is very weak, they still do quite well in other aspects.
Whether it is in terms of catering or sailing skills, he has almost crushed those on his own ship.
When they set off again, the ship that originally belonged to the Barro Pirates, just after Chang Nuo casually drew his knife, the entire ship became torn into pieces and then sank to the bottom of the sea.
When the pirates saw this scene, they who were still a little cautious suddenly began to become more honest.
On board the National, Chang Nuo continued to lie on the deck chair and be a leisurely salty fish. With Barlow and the others joining them, at least they no longer had to worry about which way to go.
The voyage was quite smooth along the way, at least for now.
From the South China Sea to the Upside Down Mountain, we did not experience any special conditions. However, when we saw the Upside Down Mountain, everyone on the boat began to be surprised.
The backward flow of sea water is completely intertwined on the top of a mountain. The entire Upside Down Mountain seems to be at least a thousand meters high, but for everyone, this situation is the first time for everyone to meet.
Chang Nuo, as a man who had received decades of popular science in his previous life, looked at the scene in front of him and his views had been completely overturned.
Although we had already known the reverse direction of Upside Down Mountain before, this situation was really surprising.
"Your Majesty, this mountain is really a wonder, but why is it flowing like this?"
Gogoya lay on the side of the ship and watched all this, asking with a look of shock and curiosity.
"You ask me, how did I know? I didn't expect that the place connecting the four seas is indeed quite spectacular."
Chang Nuo couldn't help but sigh and said.
"Your Majesty the King, we are going to start crossing the Upside Down Mountain next. Are we going to enter the Great Channel directly, or are we going somewhere else?"
Barlow quickly ran over and asked Chang Nuo.
"Are you sure about crossing Upside Down Mountain?"
Chang Nuo looked at Barlow and said, after all, this thing is the top priority.
"Your Majesty, I am still somewhat sure about this. There should be no problem. Although the water is flowing backwards, except for the current being a little more turbulent, everything else is no different from a normal place!"
After hearing what Barlow said, Changnuo finally let go of his worries. Although he was not worried about being in danger, the key point was that the ship was very valuable and his country was really too poor.
"Barlow, we don't need to enter the Great Channel for the time being. Let's go to the East China Sea first. I heard that the Pirate King was executed in a town in the East China Sea. It's so close anyway, so it doesn't hurt to go and take a look." Changnuo said.
"Really? You really should go take a look!"
Barlow also said with anticipation. After all, after becoming a pirate, the biggest obsession in the hearts of all pirates is whether they can become the Pirate King.
This is the supreme position in the world of pirates, and it can also lead an era.
Even though they are no longer pirates now, the thoughts in their hearts still remain.
"What should be done specifically next? Just tell everyone that even if the ship is destroyed, no one can be injured or fall into the sea." Chang Nuo suddenly faced Barlow with a serious look on his face. said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Barlow responded with the same earnest and solemn expression. Changnuo's mentality of thinking about people like himself instantly captured Barlow's loyalty.
But facing an upside-down mountain with such a shape, even Barlow found it a bit difficult.
But for him with so many years of sailing experience, he could only return to the bow of the ship, work hard to control the rudder, and stare meticulously ahead, for fear of making any mistakes.
Because if something goes wrong here, it is very likely that everyone will fall into the sea.
Even for the trust of everyone, Barlow always kept his hands on the rudder. The huge rudder looked almost uncoordinated in his small body.
Each of the other members of the original Barro Pirates was doing what they should do, and each of the dozens of guards was standing ready.
Even Chang Nuo himself was filled with excitement.
Not to mention that many people like to become pirates. This sense of adventure is simply amazing.
As the National began to slowly approach the current range of Upside Down Mountain, everyone could clearly feel that the ship was accelerating.
"Quickly furl the sails, everyone grab everything you can and don't let yourself fall into the sea!"
Barlow stood on the bow of the ship and shouted directly.
Those who had already stood on the mast and were preparing to furl the sails jumped directly from above. Every four people controlled one sail. After jumping down, the sails were naturally raised to the top.
Next, they no longer need to use the sails to move forward. The reverse current of the upside down mountain is enough to support them to continue to move forward quickly.
As they got closer, many people hurriedly grabbed something on the boat that could hold them in place, for fear of falling into the sea.
On such a huge sailing ship, the rudder, which controls the direction of the entire ship, becomes extremely flexible in Barlow's hands.
And at such a fast speed, it can also get stuck directly into the reverse flow of the Upside Down Mountain, which is not wide.
After entering the waters of Upside Down Mountain, Barlow let out a sigh of relief. Even for such an experienced man, this moment felt like he was competing with himself.
"The boat is going up the mountain..."
Gogoya clung to the railing tightly, but he still screamed with excitement on his face.
Chang Nuo was also very excited. This kind of thing that has completely subverted scientific theory is indeed very unique and surprising to others.
But while everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of them, Barlow ran to Chang Nuo anxiously. Before Chang Nuo could ask when, Barlow directly said, "Your Majesty, our ship is the king's." The ship is too huge. When we reach the top of the mountain, the currents from all four directions will converge at that place. I am worried that the ship may not be able to withstand the huge water pressure, and the keel may break at that moment."
Chang Nuo hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Now that we have reached this point, there is no way out, why don't you just say, keep moving forward, I will solve it when the time comes!" Chang Nuo said seriously.
But now we are about to reach the top of the mountain. The water collected from all over the world has formed a water column soaring to the top. For this ship built entirely with a wooden structure, it is really possible that it will not be able to pass this level. .
From a distance, Upside Down Mountain does give people a beautiful feeling, but when you get really close to it, it is full of dangers. As long as you are not careful, even a strong person who falls into the water will probably be in danger. It will most likely be cool.
Chang Nuo stood at the front, touching the shaped faucet extending from the main keel, and then gently placed his hand on it.
Immediately afterwards, Chang Nuo's hand touching the main keel began to turn black instantly.
The armed domineering force instantly spreads along the arm to the main dragon skeleton, and there are more specific places to maintain the structural stability of the main dragon skeleton.
As the ship continued to move forward, Changnuo looked at Barlow who was controlling the rudder and shouted, "Just move forward, don't worry about the rest."
Barlow didn't reply, but the firm look in his eyes said everything.
He was holding on to the rudder of the ship with both hands, and his eyes were fixed on the place where the four seas gathered above him. He was now almost in a state of direct struggle.
As it suddenly rushed to the top of the mountain, the huge National was instantly crushed by the water and made a creaking sound. If it weren't for the armor protecting the keel, the ship would probably have begun to fall apart at this moment.
But in the end, they managed to survive without any danger and began to slowly enter the East China Sea.
Chang Nuo, who felt this scene, subconsciously felt in his heart that when he had money later, he would definitely buy a cruise ship from the system space. Not only was this wooden ship too slow, but it was also not useful.
Just now they were running upwards rapidly, but now they were running downwards rapidly. Everyone on the ship didn't know what to say.
Changnuo looked helpless, and Gogoya also realized that his ship seemed a bit big, and the keel on the hull was not made of particularly good materials. But for a relatively poor country like the Tru Kingdom, This ship can be considered to be built with all the efforts of the country.
When the boat dived rapidly downward along the current, the huge splash directly caused an impact.
Fortunately, everyone managed to get through the Upside Down Mountain safely in the end. Chang Nuo couldn't help but take back his hand and sighed slowly.
As the aura of armament dissipated, the keel on the ship returned to its original state.
"Your Majesty, you really scared me to death just now!" Gogoya said excitedly with tears in his eyes.
It's not just her who looks like this now. Except for the guards, most of the people behind her have almost the same look and expression.
"Young boys, there's a big boat coming ahead. Get on board..."
Just as the National Ship sailed into the East China Sea, there were already more than a dozen ships around, and the key point was that the flags hanging on each of them were exactly the same.
It seems that this group of people's luck is not very good. They just passed the Upside Down Mountain and encountered a large group of pirates.
"Your Majesty, he is a pirate..."
Gogoya said while looking at the dozen ships ahead.
Moreover, the opponent's rhythm and shouts of coming to grab things can be heard even from such a distance.
"Everyone is ready to fight..."
The guards behind him had begun to shout, and the guns on the ship had begun to point at the pirate ships.
"Don't fire, what if the ship is damaged?" Chang Nuo said leisurely.
Everyone else was already speechless, especially Barlow and the others who had just joined two days ago.
It was a bit difficult for them to understand what their Majesty, the King, was thinking. Faced with so many pirate ships and so many pirates, he could still have such thoughts?
"Your Majesty, I understand that I will go and pull the pirate ship back right away."
One of the guards said respectfully.
From before, they had understood that as His Majesty the King, he was never willing to let go of the opportunity to make money. The dozen or so pirate ships in front of them could be worth hundreds of millions of beli, no matter how hard they said it. Different As for the previous Barro Pirates' ship, it was too far from the shore and there was no need to consider it again.
The key is that the group in front of them is different. They are originally on the East China Sea, and they are not particularly far from Rogge Town where the Pirate King was killed.
The guards understood and each one showed a smile. Let's not talk about the problem of their own goods being robbed by others before. At least they can rob the pirates' money every time they come out, but how is this possible? Of course, you have to grab the boat together to enjoy it.
Before they have experienced powerful people, at least everything they do now, everyone is full of confidence in their hearts. "Be gentle when you go there, don't damage the ship, and leave all their navigators to me. Our country is lacking in this area now!"
Chang Nuo had a sinister smile on his face. He was already here anyway, so he would naturally take action to deal with the pirates when he encountered them.
