Chapter 1120 World-Class Wonder
Zhang Tuohai climbed into the anchor cabin carefully.
A man on anchor watch was sleeping soundly on a blanket. Next to him was a wine bottle, from which emanated a pungent smell of strong liquor .
Zhang Tuohai crawled over carefully, held up the other person's head with both hands, and twisted it hard. With a slight sound, the other person's cervical vertebrae were broken.
[Kill an Imperial sailor and gain 1 experience point. ]
After killing the sailor in charge of guarding the anchor, Zhang Tuohai quietly came to the door, opened it a crack and looked outside.
Just outside the anchor room is the sailors' cabin, with hammocks next to each other. A rough count shows that there are dozens of sailors sleeping there.
There were a dozen sailors gathered together drinking and chatting.
Zhang Tuohai estimated that he was not sure he could kill so many people without alerting anyone, so he quietly closed the door.
At the same time, find something to block the door.
While rummaging around, Zhang Tuohai accidentally found a claw hammer in the anchor bin.
“This thing?”
Zhang Tuohai looked at the claw hammer in his hand and came up with an idea.
Zhang Tuohai quietly found a piece of wood near the edge and used a claw hammer to quietly remove a long nail.
Zhang Tuohai was very careful and didn't make any noise.
After removing several long nails that fixed the wooden board, Zhang Tuohai gently lifted the board and looked down through the gap.
Below the chain locker is the storage hold, which is filled with various wooden boards and barrel parts, and there is no one inside.
Zhang Tuohai opened the wooden board and quietly came to the storage room along the gap. When he went down, he did not forget to drag the corpse down and cover the wooden board.
After arriving at the storage room, Zhang Tuohai hid the body under a pile of wooden boards and then opened the cabin door.
Outside was the third gunnery deck, where dozens of sailors were stationed.
Zhang Tuohai did not dare to alarm them. He continued to hammer nails with a sheep horn hammer and sneaked into the next cabin.
This floor is still a storage warehouse, but it is now filled with various wooden barrels.
Zhang Tuohai opened one and found that it was filled with various low-quality rums.
Zhang Tuohai opened the door and looked out, and found that this floor was also crowded with lobster soldiers. Dozens of lobster soldiers were lying on blankets with guns placed beside them.
Zhang Tuohai didn't dare to move and continued to go down.
This time, Zhang Tuohai came to the bottom warehouse.
This is the lowest level of the entire ship, where some ballast is usually placed to ensure the stability of the ship.
Cargo ships carry heavy but not very valuable cargo.
Warships will place some solid shells in this position.
There are also buckets for storing fresh water.
However, this warship was filled with stones.
"This is not right." Zhang Tuohai instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Every inch of space on the ship is extremely tight, otherwise the barrels would not have been disassembled for storage.
However, it was obviously unreasonable for this warship to store these ordinary stones in the cabin.
A normal ship, even if there is nothing in it, would put the wooden barrels together, fill them with fresh water and place them here as ballast. It would never go through the trouble of putting stones in there. This is not normal.
Zhang Tuohai groped forward carefully, examining the stones.
Zhang Tuohai crawled forward and found that these stones were large pieces of obsidian, which were polished very smoothly, engraved with mysterious runes, and gilded with shiny metal, flashing a faint light.
With the help of the light from these runes, Zhang Tuohai climbed forward.
Finally, in the center of the cabin, Zhang Tuohai finally made a discovery.
In the center of the cabin is a sealed metal box.
The metal box was densely engraved with mysterious runes, and next to it were two buckles with large brass locks on them.
When Zhang Tuohai saw the tightly sealed metal box, he knew that it must contain something extraordinary, otherwise, there would never be such a big fuss about it.
The more the Imperial Navy wanted to do, the more Zhang Tuohai would oppose it.
Looking at this tightly sealed box, Zhang Tuohai really wanted to see what was inside.
In addition to satisfying curiosity, the main purpose was to cause some trouble for the Imperial Navy.
Anyway, his current situation couldn't get any worse. If the water was muddied a little, it would be easier for him to fish.
There might be a chance for things to turn around.
Having made up his mind, Zhang Tuohai started to unlock .
This level of mechanical lock might be considered advanced in this world, but in Zhang Tuohai's eyes, it was just that simple and he could open it with just a few pokes.
Click, the lock cylinder is opened.
Zhang Tuohai took off the brass lock and slowly opened the lid of the box.
Appearing inside the chest was a crystal-carved pyramid.
This pyramid is not big, only the size of a palm. It is carved entirely from blue crystal and looks crystal clear.
"What is this?"
Zhang Tuohai looked curious.
A line of game tips popped up.
[Congratulations on discovering the world's wonder: the crystal pyramid. ]
[Crystal Pyramid: A world-class wonder, an extraordinary item handed down from ancient times. It can absorb energy through moonlight and can temporarily activate items. If it is stored in a certain place for a long time, it will cause various strange changes in the storage place. It is recommended to move the location regularly.]
[Warning: You opened the storage box containing the crystal pyramid, alerting the palace scholar on duty. You are about to be hunted down by the palace scholar and the 23rd Imperial Infantry Squadron.]
At the same time, above the overtime came the sound of sharp whistles and leather boots stepping on wooden boards, followed by the sound of a large group of people running past.
"Grass!"
Zhang Tuohai knew that something had changed, so he threw the box aside, picked up the crystal, and then threw a gunpowder barrel where the box had been.
Direct detonation.
Boom!
The surrounding obsidian blocked the shock wave of the gunpowder barrel explosion, confining the power of the gunpowder barrel in the upper and lower directions without affecting the surrounding areas.
The huge explosion blew through the bottom deck of the ship, the surging sea water poured in, and the ship began to sink.
Zhang Tuohai threw another gunpowder barrel with his backhand and then jumped into the gap.
Boom!
Another explosion.
At the same time as the gunpowder barrel exploded, the door leading to the lower cabin was opened and two lobster soldiers rushed down.
The shock wave from the explosion of the gunpowder barrel directly blew the two lobster soldiers into pieces.
[Kill 2 elite imperial infantrymen and gain 6 experience points.]
However, at this time Zhang Tuohai had no time to look at the prompts, he was trying hard to swim out.
The explosion in the cabin just now must have alarmed the people on duty. They would definitely look around for the attackers. All Zhang Tuohai needed to do was to run out of their blockade, return to the White Bird, and then escape.
