The moonlight is brighter tonight and the beach is silvery.

Zheng Yang put his backpack away, jumped off the fishing boat, sat on a stone in a daze, and suddenly felt so lonely!

With the tide rising, layers of spray hit the beach, making bursts of clattering sound.

After sitting for more than ten minutes, Zheng Yang suddenly jumped up without warning, went back to the fishing boat for a while, found a hammer and a handsaw, and ran to look for the rotten boats on the stone beach again.

He plans to find more useful wood to prepare for the expansion of the spirit boat, and to create some storage dark grid for the spirit boat.

As a result, the sound of banging and sawing on the beach was heard from time to time. Busy for more than an hour, Zheng Yang really dug up seven or eight pieces of wood and threw them into his spirit boat.

……

This night, Zheng Yang did not enter that strange dream again, he slept soundly.

At half past four in the morning, Zheng Yang was woken up by Hans. They were about to leave.

It was the time for the moon to sink, and the sea was dark. The roar of diesel engines broke the silence of the beach, and fishing boats left the dock one after another and headed for the sea.

Zheng Yang rubbed his eyes and came to the deck. When the sea breeze blew, he suddenly became energetic. He stood for a moment, turned and went to the side of the boat, looking at the boat on the side.

"Basic information:

hull: first level spirit ship

seal: Scallop beetle (larva)

Power Core: moonshell

power reserve: 5100

base speed: 5 knots

attack bonus: 5%

defense bonus: 5%

power bonus: 5%

..."

Equipment information:

main drive: single mast triangular sail

auxiliary drive: manual oar

bow image: scaly beetle

bow skill: none

remarks: due to the use of sacrifice, summon, bloody seal and other rituals in the conversion of spirit ship, it is ominous and has certain attraction to some evil things. When the spirit boat or the owner of the spirit boat approaches a certain distance from these evil spirits, it will attract evil spirits to covet. Even if the boat is destroyed, it can not be avoided. Therefore, the spirit boat is also called the curse boat, and this curse power can be suppressed by holy things. At the same time, the spirit ship will subtly influence and transform the owner's blood, so that they can obtain the blood of witches. The higher the evolution level of spirit ship is, the stronger the blood is. The owner of the spirit boat can improve his ability to deal with evil through the evolution of the spirit boat, so the spirit boat is also called the ship of evolution

……

Pretending not to see the information in the note, Zheng Yang thought silently: "the power reserve has recovered by 5 points. It seems that it can recover slowly without the spirit sail, but the speed is too slow!"

Some things in the sea are absorbed by the spirit boat, and its hunger is not so strong.

Sure enough, the ship should be moored in the water. It's unnecessary to bring it into subspace the night before yesterday!

The boring voyage was accompanied only by the noise of the diesel engine. Zheng Yang watched the complete sunrise, although he was tired of watching it in Xiao Zheng Yang's memory, how could it be boring.

After sunrise, Zheng Yang climbed up to the cab and asked old Hans for his navigation skills. Old Hans picked some common sense to tell him. After another hour, I finally saw an island ahead.

"There are few ocean currents in this area, and there are not many fishing products. When we put you down near that island, we will go to the East ten nautical miles to get off the net. It's about an hour's drive from here. If there's no accident, I can't pick you up until three o'clock in the afternoon. Take care of yourself. "

As he approached the island, Hans called Zheng Yang out to tell him.

He didn't dissuade Zheng Yang any more. Everyone has come here. He has learned Zheng Yang's stubbornness during this period, but he doesn't know it. Hans can not put down his work and accompany Zheng Yang to go crazy on the island. He has old and young people to support.

Everyone should be responsible for his own choice. If Zheng Yang really has an accident on this island, he can only go back to report at most.

"I see. Thank you, uncle Hans!" Zheng Yang showed an optimistic smile and yelled at Hans in the cab.

Old Hans signaled to him to refuel, and then concentrated on driving the fishing boat. There are thousands of kilometers away from the island, and some stones can be seen out of the sea. The fishing boats dare not go in again, for fear that they will be touched by the reefs under the sea.

With the help of Hans, Zheng Yang carefully climbed down the fishing boat, boarded his boat, picked up his paddle and rowed slowly to the island.

This time, Zheng Yang felt different.

The spirit boat is moving forward on the water, and he can master the touch of the water. There is a mystery of the unity of man and ship, and the speed is lighter than expected.

"Is that the 5% power bonus?" Zheng Yang subconsciously remembered the message of Lingchuan. But now the speed is obviously increased by more than 5%, and the bonus he understands is to consume psionic power. After thinking about it, he found that it was the mystery of "the unity of man and ship" that made his basic power of rowing higher."Tune 1 power to see what effect it has!"

Instead of using psionic powers to bless the ship, Zheng Yang calls 1 point of psionic power to his body. This feeling is very real, because the spirit boat gives him a feeling like a part of his body.

With Zheng Yang's command, he immediately realized that the spirit boat had sent some energy to his body through that strange connection, and immediately turned into a warm current to spread all over his body, making his strength increase by 50%.

It took about three minutes to get back to normal.

Zheng Yang was stunned. One point of psionic power would bring him three minutes of great power. If the psionic power was sufficient, wouldn't he be the same as Superman?

Combined with the sword move that I learned from my dream last night, I finally have a little fighting power.

After taking a deep breath for a while, Zheng Yang regained his composure. From this point of view, although he was very miserable, but the spirit ship gave some compensation.

"Wow Bang "

a fish more than 20 cm long suddenly jumped out of the water, attracting Zheng Yang's eyes. But then he thought of the fish monster in his dream last night. Zheng Yang had nausea.

It's just that he hasn't had breakfast yet, and he has no dry food on him, so he can't be hungry all day. Since there are fish here, we'll catch them first.

Immediately, Zheng Yang found a small bundle of fishing line wrapped around the stick from his backpack, with a hook on the fishing line. Then he took out a small bottle with two sand worms in it. He cut a small section with a knife and put it on the hook as bait. Then he began to fish without a rod.

It may be that there are too many reefs in this area, and no fishing boats dare to come, forming a good fish farm. There are so many fish in the water. Less than a minute after Zheng Yanggang got off the hook, he felt that the thread on his two fingers was rolling and setting out quickly.

Zheng Yang tightened his fingers a little, increased the friction of the thread rolling, felt the strength, and judged that the fish would not be too big. So he resolutely stopped the thread from rolling and slowly turned the stick to recover the fishing line.

A moment later, a Spanish mackerel weighing seven or eight Jin was pulled out of the water, pulled out the hook and left in the boat.

Without much delay, Zheng Yang picked up the oars and continued to row to the island.

Twenty minutes later, Zheng Yang landed on a shoal. There are many stones of different sizes scattered in this shoal. Zheng Yang drags his spirit boat onto the beach and binds it to a stone. Then he takes all the things and carries the sea fish to the island. It looks like he's visiting a friend.

Zheng Yang carried fish in his left hand and knife in his right hand. He put a net in his backpack and observed around the edge of the mountain forest for more than half an hour before collecting some hay and dead wood and returning to the beach to start a fire and roast fish.

The smell of grilled fish helped Zheng Yang alleviate some psychological barriers. A fish just ate half of it to fill his stomach.

After that, Zheng Yang sorted out his things, carried his backpack, and set out to the mountain forest with a machete.

According to an old fisherman, star backed tarantula is a gregarious creature, bigger than an adult's fist, highly toxic and very fast. A few years ago, a group of young people from big cities on land came here to seek stimulation in a small yacht, and three people were poisoned.

"According to the habits of spiders, it is possible to encounter them in dark caves, under the sun blocking jungle, and on the ground with thick leaves. I can go around the forest and look for these kinds of environments first, so as to reduce the chance of encountering other dangers. "

With this idea, Zheng Yang just came to the edge of the mountain forest and changed to observe around the forest, and sprinkled some realgar water on his hair and clothes, which was not reckless at all.

After walking for two hours, Zheng Yang felt that he had at least walked around the island for half a circle and reached the back of the landing position. The mountain here is getting steeper and steeper, and the trees are bigger and bigger. Even a little farther away, there are cliffs directly facing the sea, so it's hard to detour.

It seems that we have to enter the mountain forest!

Zheng Yang made up his mind, but before he made a formal step, he suddenly heard the fierce noise coming from the mountains above. After only one second of silence, Zheng Yang turned around and ran along the way with the fastest speed.

Although he didn't know what was on the mountain, Zheng Yang knew he couldn't deal with it just by looking at the fierce shaking of the woods.
