The Cursed Ship

The moonlight is brighter tonight, and the beach is silvered.

Zheng Yang put his backpack away, jumped off the fishing boat and sat on a rock in a daze, suddenly feeling so lonely!

The sea tide was high, and layers of waves hit the edge of the beach, making bursts of crashing.

Zheng Yang sat there for more than ten minutes, then suddenly jumped up without warning, went back to the fishing boat and rummaged for a while, found a hammer and a handsaw, and ran to the rotten boats on the rocky beach to search again.

He planned to find some more usable wood to prepare for the expansion of the spirit ship, and to build some hidden storage compartments for the spirit ship.

Then, from time to time, there was the sound of bang bang and sawing boards on the beach. After working for more than an hour, Zheng Yang actually dug up another seven or eight pieces of wood and threw them into his spirit boat.

...

This night, Zheng Yang did not enter that weird dream again, and he slept peacefully.

At 4:30 in the morning, Zheng Yang was woken up by Hans, and they were about to leave.

At this time, it happened to be the moment when the moon was sinking, and the sea was dark. The roar of the diesel engine broke the silence of the beach, and one after another the fishing boats left the pier and headed for the sea.

Zheng Yang rubbed his eyes and came to the deck, and was immediately refreshed by the sea breeze. He stood for a while, then turned and walked to the side of the ship, looking at the boat that was dragging on the side.

Remarks: Since the spirit ship uses rituals such as sacrifice, summoning, and bloody spirit sealing during transformation, it is tainted with ominousness and has a certain attraction to some evil things. When the spirit ship or the owner of the spirit ship gets close to these evil spirits, it will attract the covetousness of the evil spirits, even if the ship is destroyed, it cannot be avoided, so the spirit ship is also called the ship of curse. Suppress with relics. At the same time, the spirit ship will subtly affect and transform the owner's bloodline, so that it can obtain the bloodline of the witch. The higher the evolution level of the spirit ship, the stronger the power of the bloodline. The owner of the spirit ship can improve the ability to deal with evil by evolving the spirit ship, so the spirit ship is also called the evolution ship! "

...

Zheng Yang pretended not to see the information in the note, and thought silently: "The psychic reserve has recovered 5 points, it seems that it can be recovered slowly without the spiritual sail, but the speed is too slow!"

Some things in the sea water were absorbed by the spirit ship, and the hunger from it was no longer so strong.

Sure enough, the boat should be moored in the water, and it was unnecessary for me to put it into the subspace the night before!

The boring voyage was only accompanied by the noise of the diesel engine. Zheng Yang watched the complete sunrise, although he was already tired of watching it in Xiao Zhengyang's memory, but it would be boring.

After sunrise, Zheng Yang climbed into the cab to ask Old Hans about sailing techniques, and Old Hans told him some common sense. After driving for another hour, I finally saw an island in front of me.

"There are few ocean currents in this area, and there is not much fish. After we drop you off near the small island, we will go to a place ten nautical miles east to cast our nets. It will take about an hour to drive from here. If there is no accident, I will not be able to catch you until three o'clock in the afternoon." Come pick you up, be careful and be safe."

As he got closer to the island, Hans called Zheng Yang out to tell him this.

He didn't try to dissuade Zheng Yang anymore, everyone has already arrived here, he has also experienced Zheng Yang's stubbornness during this period of time, and it's not that he doesn't know it. It is even more impossible for Hans to put down his work and go crazy with Zheng Yang on the island. He has old and young needs to support.

Everyone should be responsible for their own choices. If something really happened to Zheng Yang on this small island,

At most, he could only go back and report.

"Understood, thank you, Uncle Hans!" Zheng Yang showed an optimistic smile, and then shouted to the old Hans in the cab.

Old Hans gave him a cheering gesture, and then concentrated on driving the fishing boat. There are still thousands of meters away from the small island, and some rocks can already be seen out of the sea. The fishing boats dare not go in again, fearing that they will be hit by the hidden reefs under the sea.

Zheng Yang picked up his backpack, machete, and a temporary net bag made of broken fishing nets. With the help of Hans, he carefully climbed off the fishing boat and boarded his own boat. Paddle to the island.

During this stroke, Zheng Yang felt something different.

The spirit boat moved forward on the water surface, and he could grasp the touch of the water surface. There was a mystery of the unity of man and boat, and the speed was lighter than expected.

"Is it the 5% power bonus?" Zheng Yang subconsciously remembered the information about the spirit boat. But the current speed increase is obviously more than 5%, and the bonus he understands consumes spiritual energy. He thought about it, and found that it was actually because of the mystery of "the unity of man and boat" that the basic power generated by his rowing was higher.

"Adjust 1 point of psionic energy and see what effect it has!"

Zheng Yang didn't use psychic energy to bless the ship, but called 1 point of psychic energy into his body following his feeling. This feeling is very real, because the spirit ship feels like a part of the body to him.

Following Zheng Yang's command, he immediately noticed that the spirit boat sent some energy to his body through that strange connection, and it immediately turned into a warm current that spread throughout his body, making his strength instantly increase by 50%.

This state lasted for about three minutes before returning to normal.

Zheng Yang was stunned in shock, 1 point of psychic power would bring him a state of great strength for three minutes, if the psychic power was sufficient, wouldn't he be like Superman under continuous consumption?

Coupled with the knife move that I learned from the dream last night, I finally have a little fighting power.

After taking a deep breath for a while, Zheng Yang regained his composure. From this point of view, although he was miserably cheated, the spirit boat still gave him some compensation.

"Wow...boom"

A fish more than 20 centimeters long jumped out of the water suddenly, causing Zheng Yang's eyes to shine. But then thinking of the fish monster in the dream last night, Zheng Yang felt nauseated.

It's just that he hasn't eaten breakfast yet, and he doesn't have dry food on him, so he can't be hungry all day. Since there are fish here, let's catch them first.

Immediately, Zheng Yang took out a small bundle of fishing line wrapped around a wooden stick from his backpack, with a hook on the fishing line. He also took out a small bottle with two sandworms in it, cut off a small piece with a knife and put it on the hook as bait, and started fishing without rods.

It may be that there are so many hidden reefs in this area that no fishing boat dares to come, forming a good fishing ground. There were so many sea fish in the water, less than a minute after Zheng Yang took the hook, he felt the pull of the fishing line, and the line hooked on his two fingers was rolling and releasing the line quickly.

Zheng Yang tightened his fingers slightly, increased the friction force of the line reel, and felt the strength, so he judged that the fish would not be too big. So he resolutely stopped the reel from continuing to roll, and slowly turned the stick to recover the fishing line.

After a while, a mackerel weighing about seven or eight catties was pulled out of the water, pulled out the hook and thrown into the boat.

Without much delay, Zheng Yang picked up the oars and continued to paddle to the island.

About 20 minutes later, Zheng Yang landed in a shoal. There are many stones of different sizes scattered in this shoal. Zheng Yang dragged his small spirit boat onto the beach, tied it to a stone, and then boarded the island with all his belongings and fish, as if he was visiting a friend.

The small island is covered with dense forest and grass. Zheng Yang held a fish in his left hand and a knife in his right, and a net bag in his backpack. After observing the edge of the forest for more than half an hour, he collected some hay and dead wood and returned to the beach to start a fire. fish.

The smell of grilled fish helped Zheng Yang relieve some psychological barriers, he just ate half of a fish to fill his stomach.

Afterwards, Zheng Yang tidied up his things, put on his backpack and set out for the forest with a machete in hand.

According to an old fisherman, the starback tarantula is a social creature, bigger than an adult's fist, very poisonous, and moves very fast. A few years ago, a group of young people from big cities on land drove a small yacht here to seek excitement, and three of them were poisoned to death.

"According to the habits of spiders, it is possible to encounter them in dark caves, under forests that block out the sun, and on the ground with thick leaves. I can go around the forest to find these types of environments first, so as to reduce the chance of encountering other dangers."

With this in mind, Zheng Yang went around the forest to observe as soon as he came to the edge of the forest, and sprinkled some realgar water on his hair and clothes, not reckless at all.

It took two hours to walk like this, and Zheng Yang felt that he had walked around the island at least half a circle, and reached the back of the landing position. The mountains here are getting steeper and steeper, the trees are taller and taller, and there are even cliffs facing the sea a little farther away, so it is difficult to go around.

It seems that we must enter the mountains!

Zheng Yang made up his mind, and before he could take a formal step, he suddenly heard intense movements from the forest above. After only a second of silence, Zheng Yang turned around and ran, running at the fastest speed along the way he came.

Although he didn't know what was on the mountain, Zheng Yang knew that he was definitely not able to deal with it just by watching the violent shaking of the forest.
