"This may be the rubbish left on John's boat. From this, we can infer that two hours after John and the others ended their contact on the first day, they veered a little off course for some unknown reason." He took the one.
After looking at the can, Lawrence said that he was holding an empty tinplate can that was larger than his fist. The remaining label paper on the box indicated that it was a can of sugar-watered citrus produced in the Republic of New Zealand.
It's not a surprise to find this can. After all, the can has only a few small spots corroded on it, and the whole thing is still shiny. And the sun here is so bright now, so it's easy to spot it under the sunlight.
Such a shiny metal can in shallow water.
"How is this determined?" Lei Suo asked, looking a little shocked. "I can only tell that this box is very new, and it was not thrown into the water for more than half a month, but I can't tell at all who the previous owner of this box was.
Who. After all, this is just a box, and the name of its previous buyer is not written on it."
While they were talking, the Enterprise also slowly stopped. Because if it went further, the density of the rocks would threaten the hull. And now the entire ship was very close to the reef beach. Lawrence
The magic range has been able to cover the sea area of the reef.
After the ship anchored, Lawrence directed the monster phantoms to continue searching for various suspicious targets, while explaining to Leisuo how he could determine the direction of movement of Paladin John and the others from such an empty can.
"This inference is also very simple." Lawrence said while pointing to the text on the box, "Because this can is imported from the New Continent Federation, and such a small 600-gram can is sold in the White Eagle Federation.
It sells for 20 cents. Considering that this place is very close to the bulk cargo trade routes on the east and west sides of the New World North Road, it may be as cheap as 17.8 cents."
At this point, Leisuo Lawrence, who still looked confused and puzzled, could only helplessly continue to explain: "Although people who go to sea now bring a lot of canned food as food on the road, considering the price issue, most of them
Some cargo ship owners often only buy some cheap cans to top up their bills."
"Even on passenger ships with expedition teams or ordinary tourists, the canned food prepared on board are all local cans similar to sugar-watered pineapples, which take into account both class and cost. Only ships like church expeditions or luxury cruise ships
Only then can such luxury goods imported from overseas appear.”
"According to the information I asked before, although there were sixty or seventy ships sailing nearby during this period, most of them were fishing boats, whaling ships or cargo ships. The only one whose passengers could afford to eat such cans
The only one left is John's sloop."
Lawrence's analysis was unanimously recognized by the people around him, but in order to confirm the news more accurately, he took out the coin and did divination again. As expected, the divination result showed that the can was in John's place.
It was left behind after being eaten on the boat.
After a brief search of the reef, Lawrence and the others found no other clues and set sail again. However, considering that the route had shifted, Lawrence eliminated two of the remaining five locations waiting to be searched.
Locations located in other directions.
"Our next target is Jinquan Island." Nora pointed to a small dot on the chart with a small stick. "This island is very small. It is a pocket island with a diameter of only about 500 meters. But because the island
Miraculously, there is a fresh water spring that makes this island a place where the nearby offshore fishing boats replenish their fresh water.”
"However, because this island is more than 40 nautical miles south of the planned channel of John's expedition team, we did not list Jinquan Island as a key search target at the beginning." After the little puppet introduced the specific situation of the island,
, Lawrence continued. "But now that it has been confirmed that they have deviated, this island is worth visiting."
Four hours later, Jinquanhou appeared near Jinquan Island. However, what they didn't expect was that before they could approach the island along the channel, a group of uninvited guests spotted their ship and launched an attack.
"Damn, how come there are so many murlocs in this place?" Lawrence stood on the side of the ship and manipulated the phantoms of the aquatic monsters to kill every murloc that tried to get close to the ship below the waterline and tried to destroy the ship, while going crazy.
He complained, and beside him, a group of people with weapons kept shooting at the blue-gray fish-men figures.
The only good thing is that the bottom of this place is a relatively gentle sandy slope, and the water depth is not deep. Therefore, there is not much space left for the fishmen to hide and move around. Therefore, these people on the boat are confident that they can kill this group of 1,000 people with their weapons.
The murlocs on the left and right.
"There is indeed something wrong with the situation." Nola, whose ten fingers were all covered with silver threads, used these threads to cut several fish-men who were too close to the boat into several pieces, and then said to Lawrence through soul contact, "From these fish-men
Judging from their clothing and weapons, they don’t seem to come from the same tribe.”
"Waterproof grenades, throw them!" Previously, because he considered that there might be underwater operations this time, Lawrence prepared a batch of specially modified bombs that can explode underwater. Although they are called grenades, the size is more like what Lawrence encountered in his previous life.
That kind of anti-frogman pocket depth charge, only the large-sized minotaurs on the ship can throw this thing by hand.
After the order was given, 12 tauren, under the command of Lanhua, each took out a long metal bomb from the box that was as thick and short as a human forearm, then pulled a metal ring at the end of the bomb and threw it out.
These bombs quickly drew an arc in the air and fell into the sea twenty or thirty meters away from the ship, splashing more than a dozen water splashes. After waiting for a few seconds, a dull explosion sounded. At the same time, there was a dull explosion on the sea.
A dozen water splashes exploded, looking like a fountain from a distance.
The effect of this explosion was much better than expected. The fish-men's initially crazy attack was immediately interrupted and dispersed. Even if Nora reacted first and started chasing, she only had time to kill five or six of them.
The murloc at the very back.
Soon, Lawrence and the others figured out what was going on. Because large swaths of blue murloc corpses surfaced one after another. It was obvious that the shock wave caused by the batch of underwater grenades just now caused a large number of murlocs.
Severe internal visceral rupture and internal bleeding. This large-scale death also completely destroyed the morale of other murlocs, causing them to flee.
Because this place is very close to Jinquan Island, Lawrence and the others brought the ship close to the island and began to clean up after the war. After everyone was busy for a while and inspected the corpses of the fishmen, the staff on the ship brought something unusual.
inspection results.
"We just examined the corpses of those fishmen. In addition to being able to confirm that they came from six to seven tribes, we also made a big discovery -" the tauren shaman Lanhua said. Just now she and the tauren used iron hooks to
He hooked the fishman up to the deck with his long stick for inspection. Now after getting the first-hand information, he naturally ran to report to Lawrence.
"You mean this group of murlocs are all ordinary warrior murlocs, with no leader and no spellcaster?" After listening to Lanhua's detailed report, Lawrence frowned. Because this was completely inconsistent with the usual state of the murlocs.
In addition, according to the information he had received before, there were no fishmen in the area before. Otherwise, this place would not have become a fresh water supply point for offshore fishing boats. Based on this information, he realized that there was a problem in the entire nearby sea area, and
