As the saying goes, all is revealed once a connoisseur judges.

Upon observing how Blacksail moved in the water, Sheyan understood he wasn"t simply bragging.

Biting a pitch-black knife in his mouth, Blacksail quickly swarm to Sheyan"s side before maintaining a vigilant protection.

The pitch-black seawater stretched out endlessly, appearing like the bottomless abyss; hidden beneath, were countless untold perils.

Treading along the water surface, Sheyan took a deep breath before diving towards the bottom of the s.h.i.+p; while borrowing the incandescence of the torches above.

Within the deeper regions of the sea, he could discern numerous smooth black chains coiling together, stretching towards the s.h.i.+p"s bow in concentrated interwoven fas.h.i.+on. Indeed, this was the culprit hindering their voyage.

Sheyan directly swam towards those black chains with bold audacity. As he approached, he inspected them while borrowing the incandescence from above.

How could this be a black chain? It was probably a vegetation of the sea that had woven together densely; like the braids of a young maiden.

These chains indeed appeared like drenched hair of the deceased; resembling chopped kelps that hadn"t been dried by the sun. They dispersed an extremely pungent odour, leaving one nauseating.

Sheyan reached out his hand, as a dreadfully chilling yet durable elasticity lingered around his hand.

"This seems like something I"ve seen before." Sheyan suddenly recalled his maiden voyage in the present world. Sailing across the atlantic ocean for the first time, they had coincidentally pa.s.sed through the widely acclaimed and enigmatic Bermuda Triangle. That time, their captain had deviated from their route to receive his secret smuggling goods, and headed westward along the Gulf of Mexico.

This was a sea route few s.h.i.+ps had travelled on. Sheyan themselves didn"t encounter anything strange; only an impressive spectacle, and that was a "gra.s.sland" on the ocean.

The depth of the sea was over 4,000 metres, without a single island in sight. Yet at that particular region, it was thriving with luscious rootless green water plants - Sarga.s.sum, a grand prairie of it; driven by the ocean current and sea breeze.

Those floating sarga.s.sum resembled an expansive olive rug, stretching into the vast distant. The quant.i.ty of Sarga.s.sum was simply innumerable, encompa.s.sing over hundreds of square kilometres.

Right now, these large black chains appeared a.n.a.logous to those Sarga.s.sum he encountered of the real world. Except, the current was tens of folds amplified that of the former! This was possibly a relative vegetation of the Sarga.s.sum, but in the caribbean sea world.

They had propagated in bulk throughout the season here, like female and male "plants" interlocked and jamming up the voyaging path. Hence, though such scene appeared strange, breaking it would make it worthless.

At this moment, Blacksail had swam over. Similarly, he sampled touching those "Sarga.s.sum", before he shrugged his shoulders.

Although his body language revealed his reluctance, he still gripped his biting knife, and swept forth horizontally. The knife he held was terribly sharp, and he sliced it into two.

Yet the strangest thing happened.

The severed opening of the sarga.s.sum started releasing pulses of mild black fluids; swiftly fumigating into the seawater like fumes. Instantaneously, the surrounding sarga.s.sum speedily gathered and wrapped around Blacksail.

Wrapped inside the chains, One-eyed Blacksail"s body was utterly bundled. Although he retained some strength to wrestle free, it was a case of shredding but never ending. The more he tore apart, the more he felt the tendency of these vile chains to bundle around him.

Sheyan was about to reach out in aid, yet Blacksail immediately beckoned him not to; waving for Sheyan to swim away.

Then, Sheyan watched on as this understated but knowledgeable pirate unhurriedly released his the grip of his knife shaft. From within his hands, tiny egg sized granules wafted out.

These eggs swiftly adhered onto the surface of these enormous sarga.s.sum, before they commenced incubating; rapidly forming into ping pong size black beetles.

These beetles had springy long legs, and moved carefreely inside the water. Then, they began nibbling onto these sarga.s.sum; just like silkworms gnawing on leaves, their appet.i.tes were amazing.

In no time, the surrounding enormous sarga.s.sum were clean chewed away.

Witnessing such a scene, Sheyan faintly nodded; enlightened that Blacksail was indeed a talent. It seemed like his methods skewed towards witchcraft of the Voodoo cult. If he could exercise this subordinate, it could possibly overcome the deficiency of his party"s lack of a mage contestant.

But at this moment, Mogensha suddenly yelled frantically into the party channel.

"Boss! Hurry back up the s.h.i.+p, what are you doing down there? A large dude has seemingly appeared!"

While Brother Black yelled, he targeted and volleyed a flare sh.e.l.l into the distant water.

Instantly, Sheyan and Blacksail could behold an astounding ma.s.s of sarga.s.sum nets afar, where a ma.s.sive shadow was rapidly encroaching in. Countless bubbles were wrapped around that shadow, as it released an impression of a dark gloomy cloud bearing through the sky.

Furthermore, the shadow was seemingly gradually dissolving like ink, with unceasing fluctuations encompa.s.sing its body!

All of a sudden, Blacksail"s eyes popped widely. Noticing his reaction, it seemed like he recognized that thing.

Immediately, Sheyan gestured fiercely towards him to return to the s.h.i.+p. When the two popped out of the water surface, Blacksail urgently called.

"Careful, that be a Chupacabra!!"

Sheyan was intrigued.

"What is that?"

Blacksail gravely replied.

"A ma.s.sive sea beast that drifts between the edge of life and death. It be said, the Chupacabra"s appearance represents a tremendous catastrophe. Cap"n, this hair of the deceased be guarded by the Chupacabra, we shouldn"t risk incurring its wrath by forcefully pressin" forward."

"This the conclusion of me understandin" from the stories me heard. The Chupacabra really enjoys the fruits of this hair of the deceased, while the hair of the deceased requires at most half a day to bear fruit. Putting it bluntly, this monster be leavin" in six hours. Then, we can boldly proceed to chop away the hair of the deceased to pa.s.s through."

"6 hours...…" Sheyan contemplated a little, and immediately voiced into the party channel.

"This should be a triggering prerequisite of a hidden mission! There must be an event occurring in Tortuga port now, if we can rush there immediately, we can barge into the main course! On the contrary, reaching within this mission"s designated time will merely leave us with soup to drink."

Thinking in such a manner, Sheyan immediately roared to the deck from the water surface.

"Is anyone capable of telling me, the recent juicy affairs of Tortuga port?"

Instantly, a shout emerged from the lively discussions of the pirates.

"Cap"n, didn"t yer heard? This few days be the gypsy fest of Tortuga. Those nomadic gypsies are floggin" towards Tortuga and taking up residence temporarily. They be purchasin" special divination materials of the seas, before continue their wandering."

Sheyan"s eyes flickered before he earnestly commanded.

"Carry on speaking."

Ol"Seadog then shouted to Sheyan.

"Let me recall. The gypsy festival lasts for a total of twelve days, with today coincidentally being the twelfth day. All gypsies would absolutely not stay longer than those few days, because the thirteenth be the satanic day of impurity. Therefore before the mornin" sun rises tomorrow, the gypsies be leavin" before this. Thirteen is the vilest number deeply rooted in their souls."

At this moment, the Chupacabra had neared and Mogensha had already begun taking aim.

Instead, Blacksail cried loudly.

"Don"t! You mustn"t enrage it!"

Brother Black didn"t reply, but instead transmitted a list of information to Sheyan.

When Sheyan noticed the words "tier-3 legendary creature", he immediately heaved a sigh of relief; even if this fiend battles in its homeground, its evaluation would merely raise by a tier. At most, it can count as a tier-4 legendary creature...….

No doubt prior to this, Sheyan and buddies had indeed encountered too many other legendary creatures!

Ocean-freak Moria, Balrog, Thanator; they had even seen peak legendary individuals like Thanator Riders and the Great Leonopteryx. Yet they were all either defeated or slaughtered by Sheyan"s influence!

Hence, he couldn"t avoid feeling a mental dominance when facing a trifling tier-3 legendary creature.

Sheyan pondered briefly; feeling that though they were on board a s.h.i.+p, they still had an abundance of trump cards. Thus, he nodded.

With his "SN-9 Wasp" pistol in hand, Brother Black pressed his trigger.

PA PA PA! 3 bullets shot out before he immediately swapped to his AK and unleashed crazily.
