Chapter 1071 Escape
"Sea chart..."
When Moriarty heard that Zhang Tuohai wanted to see the nautical chart, he hesitated.
He had obtained this with great difficulty by sacrificing his looks, and he didn't want it to be obtained by Zhang Tuohai so easily.
However, in order to gain Zhang Tuohai's trust, he had to take out something important at this moment.
"Okay, but no photography," Moriarty said.
"Don't worry. Just put it on the table. I won't touch it."
Zhang Tuohai took a step back to show that he had no intention of seizing the nautical chart by force.
"Okay then." Moriarty carefully took out a parchment scroll from the storage space and slowly unfolded it on the table.
Zhang Tuohai looked at it carefully and found it was a nautical chart. On it he could see the Port of Alexandria, the Port of Thebes, the Sea of Death, commonly used routes, and some scattered islands. There were a large number of symbols marked on the chart, including islands, reefs, fresh water supply points, coral reefs, shipwrecks, storm belts and other graphic explanations.
Most people would definitely feel dizzy when seeing this nautical chart. They would have to look at it carefully and sort it out slowly to get a general idea. If they want to interpret it in detail, they would have to decipher some of the owner's own secret language.
This was a common means of confidentiality in this era. Every captain had a set of secret codes that only he could master, so that he could ensure that he could monopolize his knowledge and experience and always receive high salaries.
"See? This is our starting point, Alexandria. This is our destination, Thebes. This is our normal route. We are roughly here now. As long as we act now, we can row to this island soon. Then, we will go north along this island chain and arrive at Thebes."
Moriarty gave Zhang Tuohai a general description of the sea chart.
He believed that Zhang Tuohai would not be able to understand the secret of the sea chart for a while. He had sacrificed his chastity to learn the secret code from the widow, otherwise he really would not be able to understand this sea chart.
However, he never expected that Zhang Tuohai's brain was specially trained and he had a photographic memory. He recorded the nautical chart firmly in his mind at a glance.
"So that's how it is." Zhang Tuohai nodded slightly .
"Okay, let's go. If we delay any longer it will be too late."
Moriarty said as he put the chart away.
"Then let's go." Zhang Tuohai also packed up his things. He planned to follow and see. This guy would not do anything without profit, so he must have discovered something.
The two men avoided the waiters and sailors on the ship and quietly came to the deck.
At this time, fog had risen on the sea. The two men hid in the shadows and carefully slipped towards the lifeboat.
When approaching the lifeboat, Zhang Tuohai saw two sailors guarding the lifeboat.
The two sailors were wearing tattered clothes like strips of cloth, and their bodies were covered with kelp and barnacles. In the moonlight, their faces, which were nothing but dry bones, could be seen.
"Well, I'm right, aren't I? They're just a bunch of rotten bones. They want to drag us to the Sea God and exchange us for their own bodies."
Moriarty said, pointing at the two skeletons.
"One for each of us. I'll be responsible for the one on the left, and you'll be responsible for the one on the right." Zhang Tuohai glanced at Moriarty and said.
Although he could handle the two skeletons by himself, Moriarty still had to put in some effort.
"Okay." Moriarty gritted his teeth and took out a machete from the storage space. The blade was flashing with blue light, and it looked like an enchanted weapon.
"superior!"
Zhang Tuohai and Moriarty looked at each other, then rushed forward at the same time.
"Ah--ha!" Moriarty yelled, raised the machete in his hand and chopped at a skeleton.
Seeing this, the Skeleton quickly drew the scimitar from his waist to resist, but the scimitar was actually chopped off by Moriarty.
The skeleton immediately dodged the knife by turning sideways, but his arm was not able to avoid being cut off at the root.
Seeing this, Moriarty swung the knife in his hand and swept it horizontally towards the skeleton.
As a result, he was dodged by the skeleton again.
Just as Moriarty raised the knife in his hand and was about to chop again, the skeleton fell to the ground.
Zhang Tuohai appeared behind the skeleton with a dagger in his hand.
"What are you shouting about?" Zhang Tuohai asked with an unhappy face.
"I'm sorry, I just like shouting when fighting, I feel it can increase output, I'm used to it, and I can't change it." Moriarty was a little embarrassed.
"Because of your shout, the plan has been exposed. Let's go quickly." Zhang Tuohai said as he jumped directly onto the lifeboat and cut the cable.
At this time, Moriarty also heard the hurried footsteps, rushed into the boat and cut the cable.
The lifeboat slid down rapidly.
Wow!
The lifeboat stirred up a huge wave and crashed into the sea.
A lot of sea water poured in.
At this time, several skeletons rushed to the side of the boat, saw Zhang Tuohai and Moriarty on the lifeboat, and roared angrily.
Several skeletons climbed over the side of the ship and jumped directly into the lifeboat, trying to subdue and capture the two men.
However, Zhang Tuohai was not vague. The dagger in his hand flew up and down, and he stabbed every skeleton that jumped onto the lifeboat, and then kicked them into the sea.
After a while, the seven or eight skeletons that jumped down were all kicked into the sea by Zhang Tuohai.
This move stunned the Skeleton and Moriarty on the boat.
The skeleton had never seen such a powerful person. He killed the skeletons one by one with his sword. Didn't he know how to be afraid? Where would he put these undead spirits if he killed them like this?
Moriarty was also stunned by Zhang Tuohai's swordsmanship. He just knew that Zhang Tuohai was powerful. How could someone who could afford a first-class ticket not be powerful?
But I didn't expect him to be so powerful and kill all the skeletons that were chasing him in one go.
It made him forget what he was supposed to do.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry and row the boat." Zhang Tuohai shouted to Moriarty.
"Oh," Moriarty quickly grabbed two oars and paddled quickly away from the ship.
The boat was moving forward at a rapid speed and soon left the big ship. The skeletons on the boats just looked at the small boat that was getting farther and farther away from afar, but none of them dared to catch up.
Zhang Tuohai's sword was so powerful that it left a deep impression on them and made them dare not act rashly.
"What should we do?" a skeleton asked the first mate next to him.
"They are just two people. In this vast sea of death, if they are separated from the ship and supplies, they will die. Don't worry about them. The sea of death will take care of them." said the first mate.
"What about those on the ship?" asked the skeleton sailor.
"Of course according to the original plan, the resurrection order of those who were supposed to be on duty today will be moved to the back of the line, all the way to the end of the team!" the first mate said angrily.
"Yes!" A skeleton sailor immediately went to arrange it.
