Chapter 148

[hunter's blessing] is different from [lucky rabbit's foot], which has a unique effect. Zhang Heng has never found a suitable place to use it before.

It was not until the fourth round of the game that he entered the world of pirates and got the Jackdaw to start his hunting journey that he took out this prop again.

This necklace is very suitable for him now. After wearing it, he can improve the chance of encountering prey every time he goes out to sea, and it should be able to stack with the effect of lucky rabbit's feet. However, this kind of probability property usually takes some time to show its effect, and it may not be able to take immediate effect at a single time.

in fact, during the last ten days, the crow has not encountered anything worth killing, and what Billy said is the Spanish merchant ship that has been carrying perfume.

Compared with the time when they left the port, the morale of the crew on the ship was lower. Although the sailors still finished their daily tasks on time, they were not as active as before and began to paddle to a certain extent. Billy and others saw it. However, as long as they didn't say anything too much, no matter how good the helmsman and captain were, they couldn't keep the crew in a state of chicken blood forever It's the thrill of special events like Kidd's treasure.

In addition, the newly recruited cooks and carpenters seem to be a little unreliable. The monotonous cooking style of the former has aroused the dissatisfaction of the sailors. Fortunately, a batch of dried vegetables and fruits prepared by Zhang Heng have come in handy. The pirates all know how hard these things are to get at sea. In addition, they can drink lemonade every day, which suppresses the complaints of the ship.

In addition, the carpenter also had a lot of problems. There was a guy who had a beautiful resume and good theoretical knowledge. After he got on the ship, he couldn't even repair the simplest wooden barrel, which was far from what he had described when he applied for the job.

Zhang Heng has a certain psychological preparation. The new recruits are bound to have all kinds of problems. In fact, it's much better for him to have the old man on the sea lion as his team than to start from scratch. Just two days ago, he and Billy dealt with a crew fight together, because the old crew found that they stopped it early, and neither of the two involved used weapons, so it's hard for him In the end, he was only fined two weeks for deck cleaning.

The atmosphere on board was generally OK, but on the eleventh day Billy knocked on the door of the captain's room.

"It looks like we have to change targets." The helmsman has some helplessness. For example, the situation they are facing now is not uncommon. Most of the information about merchant ships comes from the intelligence dealers on the island, while the latter mainly collects information from the ships berthing in Nassau. In the process of transmission, there will be a certain time difference. In addition, the temporary change of route or travel plan often happens, and they can get the information and get it It doesn't necessarily mean that we can find the prey. In fact, it's normal that we can't find it.

No matter businessmen or pirates can get along in this sea area, they don't have fuel-efficient lights. Once many captains find that their travel plans are leaked, they will immediately start a backup plan.

"I have another clue on the hand. It's about the Tamiflu. It's a tobacco boat, but tobacco is everywhere in the new world, and the price is definitely not as good as perfume, but the good news is that it is also on this route, so we do not need to adjust the course, as long as we continue to pursue it." After a pause, Billy probably didn't want to make the captain Zhang Heng feel too much pressure. He comforted him and said, "we've only been out of the sea for ten days, and there's still time. We've got enough food and water to sail for at least one and a half months this time, and we're sure to return with a full load."

However, I don't know if because the helmsman just set up the flag, the Jackdaw still had little harvest in the following week, and the Tamiflu didn't even see the shadow. However, along the way, it finally met two other merchant ships, and basically there was no battle. As soon as the black flag was hoisted, the Jackdaw immediately surrendered.

However, the pirates were not happy for a long time. These two ships were of the kind with little oil and water. One ship pulled potatoes, and the other was copper ore. The quantity was quite large, but they could not sell at any price in the colony. Moreover, once these things were carried onto the ship, the speed would be greatly affected, and there would be no other prey to catch later.

After discussion, they decided to give up the two batches of goods, but as a result, the sailors finally began to worry. Billy, the representative of the sailors, felt the most clearly, and his heart was full of remorse.

He bought those two pieces of news from familiar intelligence dealers. Now this route is also highly recommended by him to Zhang Heng, which eventually leads to the current situation. Hanya has powerful firepower, but it can't find any valuable target. In addition, the time it takes for them to go back is really short of hunting time.

so on the nineteenth day, Billy had to go to Zhang Heng again. "This is my fault. We should not choose this unpopular route. You reminded me of the risks, but I was lost in the perfume of the boat. If we had chosen those hot routes, maybe we have made enough money now."

"Billy, it's not your fault. At the beginning, this matter was the result of our discussion, and it was agreed by all the crew. Now the situation is not your responsibility." Zhang Heng said, "anyone on that island who gets this kind of news will want to have a try.""But the problem is that this is our first voyage," the helmsman said with a wry smile. "We don't have much room to make mistakes now. We thought that there were two clues that were relatively safe, and there were not many other piracy activities around here, but I don't know why we still haven't seen those two ships. So I propose to turn right away and try our luck on the popular routes, so as to pass the nearest one from here One takes about five days, and if we're lucky, we'll have about a week to hunt. "

"But it's also the place where pirates, hunters and the Navy come and go most frequently," Zhang Heng said. "If you say you want to go there when you first leave the port, I certainly have no opinion. But with the morale of the ship now, how many chances do you think we have to win?"

Billy heard speech also silent, he knew Zhang Heng said is the truth, sighed, "if we had known so, we should take that ship of copper, how much can give you a little money."

Zhang Heng shook his head, "that thing is meaningless. We are warships, so the space of the warehouse is small. We must grab something valuable if we want to grab it. What's more, this is our first voyage. Only a big victory can make us famous."

It's hard for Billy to understand. It's reasonable to say that the most anxious person these days should be captain Zhang Heng, because if he can't get enough booty on his first voyage, it often means that the captain is likely to be dismissed after returning to land, but the latter doesn't seem to be in a hurry now.

Zhang Heng pointed to a small island on the chart, "according to our course and speed, we should be able to get here tonight."
