Although the Trident is essentially a ghost ship, if it is attacked in this form, it will still be damaged.
In order to avoid this possibility, Chen Ziyan planned to stay put for the time being.
If the suspected plague ship is fished out later, seize the opportunity to eliminate it. This will make it easier to stay or leave.
And if the other party never shows up, then it’s not too late to take risks.
Anyway, with the remaining fuel from the fishing boats nearby taking over, there would be no actual losses for them to do so.
However, Chen Ziyan feels that the possibility of the latter appearing is very low, because if the epidemic ship is really a ghost ship, it will not have much sense of autonomy without a controller, and will more likely act according to certain rules.
The Trident is the best reference in this regard.
Seeing that Chen Ziyan looked confident, Hu Bayi couldn't say anything more.
The next development of events did not exceed Chen Ziyan's expectations.
About a few minutes later, the shadow of the ship that had mysteriously disappeared appeared in his field of vision again.
And more importantly, this time Chen Ziyan witnessed the entire process of the boat shadow appearing.
What surprised him was that the ship's shadow did not turn from an invisible state to a solid state like ordinary ghost ships, but emerged from the sea water little by little.
Just before Chen Ziyan's eyes, starting from the mast, he emerged from the sea water not far away.
"How come?!"
After seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan secretly thought in his heart.
Because this means that he may have guessed wrong.
If this plague ship is also a ghost ship, then it shouldn't appear in this way.
Yes, the plague ship.
Now Chen Ziyan can be completely sure that the shadow of the ship just now is the epidemic ship.
The paper-pale hull, the mast lights hanging on the mast, and the dried blood stains scattered throughout the hull are all the rumored characteristics of the plague ship.
It is also very magical to say that the entire ship came out of the sea, but the mast light emitting a dim yellow halo was not affected in any way.
"Master Chen!"
Not only Chen Ziyan saw the epidemic ship, Hu Bayi, who had returned to his post, also discovered it and immediately reminded him.
"Master Ruan, hurry up!"
Although the ship made no moves, Chen Ziyan would not simply think that the other party had no next move.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, although Ruan Hei didn't know what was going on, he moved his hands extremely quickly and immediately increased the speed of the boat.
As soon as the Trident accelerated, the plague ship that had just surfaced also started to move and rushed towards them.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan secretly thought that it was true.
He said that this plague ship would not show up for no reason, and it was indeed coming for them.
The next second, Chen Ziyan's expression changed slightly, because he was keenly aware that the wind was rising on the sea.
Although this wind was very weak, it actually appeared.
He stared closely at the plague ship chasing behind him, seriously suspecting that the wind was related to it.
At this time, he also changed the angle and saw the epidemic ship chasing behind him. Fortunately, Chen Ziyan had informed him in advance, so although he was panicking, it did not affect his actions.
Because the plague ship was not moving very fast, and there was an obstacle like a fishing boat, the Trident was able to avoid it fairly easily.
During the chase, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang were not idle either. As long as the angle was right, they would control the Jinpilu Water Cannon to fire.
However, the effect was not very satisfactory. Although it was continuously bombarded, causing the deck and hull of the plague ship to become incomplete, the opponent's speed did not slow down at all.
This also means that if they continue to attack, they probably won't be able to stop the plague ship.
even……
Chen Ziyan suspected that even if the hull of the epidemic ship was destroyed, this thing would not stop.
Because after noticing that the speed of the epidemic ship was not slowing down, he had already remembered that the power of the epidemic ship was a sea monster called the "Big Supporting Sand".
This is a sea animal that looks like a turtle but not a turtle. It has a skirt but no legs, a head and no tail, a black back and a white belly. It lives in the sand and rocks in shallow seas. It often makes waves secretly and capsizes fishing boats passing by.
However, this kind of sea beast is rampant in the water, but just like the whale shark, once it is stranded, it can only be slaughtered by humans. Unlike pure fish, the sea beast is an amphibious creature, so it will not die immediately if it is stranded.
.
Therefore, after coastal fishermen discover them, they will capture them alive and use them for sacrifices.
Not only used as a plague ship, but also used in other sacrificial activities.
Chen Ziyan had not thought of the big crowd of sand before because he subconsciously believed that the plague ship behind him was a ghost ship, and the ghost ship could not coexist with living creatures in its non-physical state, so he subconsciously ignored it.
But as soon as the plague ship emerged from the sea, Chen Ziyan's original guess was shattered. So after noticing that the speed of the plague ship had not been reduced due to the attack, he thought of the existence of Dayongsha.
In this way, it will be difficult for him to achieve his plan.
Because Da Yong Sha is only carrying the epidemic, the hull will not affect its line of sight and will not accidentally hit the fishing boat.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan discovered that if he wanted to use fishing boats to block the epidemic ship, he would have to take some risks.
He is not an indecisive person, not to mention that in this situation, he has already made a decision in an instant.
"Master Ruan, try to stay as close to the fishing boat as possible."
"good."
Ruan Hei did not question Chen Ziyan's order at all.
He knows his position and just does what he is told.
Although there are risks in doing so, Ruan Hei's level is still good, so there was no accident.
The plague ship at the back is worse. Although the sand under the ship is a sea creature and should be more flexible, it still has the burden of a plague ship.
Direct communication is fine, but flexibility is greatly hampered.
This also leads to situations where epidemic ships are sometimes unable to evade. Although they will not directly hit the fishing boats, collisions are unavoidable.
Coupled with the previous repeated bombardment by Jin Pilu's water cannon, the originally intact plague ship soon became a super battle-damaged version. Many parts of it were missing, leaving only a general frame that was still intact.
.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the prototype of the epidemic ship is an ancient ship. After all, it has been in disrepair and is not very strong.
If it were replaced with a new ship, even if there was some damage, it wouldn't be so serious.
But this is good news for Chen Ziyan and the others, because no matter how much they harvest, they will hit the epidemic ship behind them.
To be honest, the main threat to them from the plague ship is the hull above.
Despite the rumors that Big Sand can sink boats, they are talking about small boats that usually fish offshore, and the Trident is not in this category.
If the plague ship above is destroyed, the remaining Dachusha will not be a problem.
