Struggle in the Steam Age

"This may be the **** left on the boat by John and the others. From this, we can infer that two hours after the contact between John and the others on the first day, they didn't know why they strayed a little bit for some reason." took that. After looking at the can, Lawrence said that he had an empty tin can that was bigger than a fist. The remaining label on the box indicated that it was a canned citrus in syrup from the Republic of New China.

It is not surprising to be able to find this can, after all, only a few small spots have been corroded on the can, and the whole is still silver. And now the sun here is so bright, it is easy to find such a metal can shimmering in shallow water under the sunlight.

"How is this determined?" Reso asked, looking a little shocked. "I can only see that this box is very new and it has been thrown into the water for less than half a month, but I can't tell who the owner of this box was before. After all, this is just a box, and there is no written on it Name."

Just as they were talking, Enterprising also slowly stopped. Because if you go further, the density of the reef can already threaten the hull. And now that the entire ship is very close to the location of this reef beach, Lawrence's magical range has been able to cover the sea area of ​​this reef.

After the ship was anchored, Lawrence directed the monster phantoms to continue searching for various suspicious targets, while explaining to Resso how he judged the direction of Paladin John and the others from such an empty can.

"This kind of inference is also very simple." Lawrence said while pointing to the text on the box. "Because this can is imported from the Xinzhou Federation, just such a small 600g can is in the White Eagle Federation. It has to sell for 20 cents. Considering that it is very close to the bulk goods trade route on the east and west sides of Xindalu North Road, it may be as cheap as 17.8 cents."

Speaking of this, he looked at Resso still at a loss. Lawrence can only helplessly continue to explain: "Although people going to sea now bring a lot of canned food as food on the road, considering the price issue, most cargo ship owners often only buy some cheap canned food. "

"Even if you are taking an expedition or a passenger ship for general tourists, the canned food prepared on board is similar to the pineapple in sugar water, which takes into account both the grade and the cost. Only on the church expedition or luxury cruise ship This type of canned luxury goods imported from overseas will appear."

"According to the information I asked before, although there were 60 or 70 ships sailing nearby during this period. Most of them were fishing boats, whaling ships or cargo ships. The only passenger could afford this kind of canned food. Yes, it's only John and the others."

Lawrence’s analysis was unanimously approved by the people around him, but in order to confirm the news more accurately, he took out the coin and performed a divination again. As expected, the results of the divination showed that the can is in John’s and the others. The boat was left after being eaten.

After searching the reef briefly, Lawrence, who did not find other clues, pulled out the anchor again and set sail. However, considering that the route has already deviated, Lawrence has marked out two locations in other directions among the remaining five locations waiting to be searched.

"Our next goal is Jinquan Island." Nora pointed to a small point on the chart with a small stick and said, "This island is very small, a pocket island with a diameter of only about 500 meters. But because of the island. There is a magical freshwater spring that makes this small island a place for the surrounding offshore fishing boats to replenish fresh water."

"But because this island is more than 40 nautical miles south of the route scheduled by John and his expedition, we did not list Jinquan Island as a key search target at the beginning." After the little doll introduced the specific situation of the island. , Lawrence continued. "But now it has been confirmed that this island is worth visiting if they are yaw."

Four hours later, he appeared near Jinquan Island after aggressive. But what I didn't expect was that a group of uninvited guests stared at their ship and launched an attack before they approached the island along the channel.

"Damn, how can there be so many murlocs in this place." Lawrence was standing on the ship's gunwale while manipulating the shadows of those aquatic monsters to kill every murloc who tried to get close to the ship's waterline and tried to destroy the ship, while frantically Tucao came, and beside him, a group of people with weapons kept shooting at the blue-gray murloc figures.

The only good thing is that the seabed of this place is a relatively gentle sand slope, and the water is not deep. So there is not much room left for fish people to hide and move. Therefore, these people on the ship are sure to kill this group of around 1,000 fish with their weapons.

"The situation is indeed a bit wrong." Nora, whose ten fingers are all covered with silver threads, used these threads to cut a few murlocs who were too close to the boat into several pieces, and then said to Lawrence through the soul connection, "From these murlocs From the perspective of clothing and weapons, they don’t seem to come from the same tribe."

"Waterproof grenade, throw it!" Before considering that there might be underwater operations this time, Lawrence prepared a batch of specially modified bombs that can explode underwater. Although it is called a grenade, its size is more like the anti-frogman pocket depth bomb that Lawrence has encountered in his life. Only the large-size tauren on the ship can throw this thing by hand.

After the order was issued, the 12 tauren under the command of Lanhua took out a long metal bomb with a human forearm length and length from the box, then pulled a metal pull 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 out a dozen splashes. After waiting for a few seconds, a dull explosion sounded. At the same time, more than a dozen water splashes exploded on the sea, which looked like a fountain from a distance.

The explosion effect of this piece was much better than expected. The Murloc's originally crazy attack was immediately interrupted and then dispersed. Even if Nora reacted first and started chasing, she had only time to kill the five or six murlocs running at the back.

Soon Lawrence and the others figured out what happened. Because a large number of blue-blue murloc corpses surfaced one after another~www.wuxiahere.com~ It is obvious that the shock wave formed by the grenade exploded underwater caused a large number of murloc’s internal organs to rupture and serious. Internal bleeding. And this large-scale death also completely destroyed the morale of other fish people, causing them to flee.

Because it was very close to Jinquan Island, Lawrence and the others moved the ship closer to the island and began to tidy up after the war. After everyone was busy checking the murloc bodies, the crew on the ship brought an unusual result.

"We just checked the bodies of the murlocs, and apart from being able to confirm that they came from six to seven tribes, there is another big discovery—" said Tauren Shaman Lanhua. It was just that she and the tauren used iron hooks His long stick hooked the murloc to the deck for inspection, and now naturally came to report to Lawrence after getting the first-hand information.

"You mean all these murlocs are ordinary warrior murlocs, without a leader, and no spellcaster?" Lawrence frowned after listening to Lanhua's detailed report. Because this is completely inconsistent with the usual fish people's state.

In addition, according to the information he got before, there were no murlocs in the local area before. Otherwise, this place will not become a fresh water supply for those offshore fishing boats. Combining this information, he realized that there were problems in the entire sea area nearby, and it was probably related to the team that John was in.
