Chapter 4 The beginning of the shipwreck

The gray-black sea reflected the gloomy sky, and the damp air smelled of rotting ship wood.

Xu Yichen, who opened his eyes, found himself lying on a beach, the fine rain hitting his face, with a touch of coolness that was no different from the reality.

Shaking the sand off his body, he checked his own condition, the silk white underwear was soaked in seawater and crumbled against his body, the tattered leather armor on his upper body barely had some protective effect, and the cowhide pants and boots were in good condition. Pouring the water out of his boots, Xu Yichen glanced at the surrounding environment, the sandy beach full of stones looked a little gloomy against the background of the sky and the sea, with the scattered wooden fragments and a few floating corpses that were already a little swollen, Xu Yichen saw a broken sea ship that had run aground on the reef a few hundred meters away.

Xu Yichen decided to go to the sea ship to search and see if he could find something useful. Looking at the situation, I have "smoothly" arrived in the Far South, I don't know when I will be able to reach the gathering place of human beings, obviously the Far South is now a semi-occupied area, looking at the background introduction, the fire of civilization is crumbling, who knows what the situation in the Far South is now.

It was a 12th-century style maple sailing ship, and it seemed that it had slammed into the reef and caused the side to break into the water, and now it was tilted towards the coastline at a large angle, Xu Yichen quickened his pace, hoping to complete his search before the sailboat sank completely. Xu Yichen flexibly climbed through the reef and jumped onto the other side of the ship, the hull of the ship almost reached a 40-degree inclination, and it was difficult to find a place to land on the slippery wood, but fortunately, relying on the high dexterity bonus of up to 16 points, Xu Yichen smoothly moved along the deck in the direction of the shipbuilding.

The water in the cabin is equally bad, most of it is flooded, the inner wall is covered with traces left by the impact of heavy objects, the boxes and cabinets are rolling together, Xu Yichen searched one cabin after another, to see if he could find survivors or useful materials, but unfortunately he searched the two cabins except for broken wood fragments and messy debris, nothing was found.

The rain became heavier and heavier, without the slightest meaning of seeing a small one, the lightning smashed one after another over the forest in the distance, the rain was blown in the wind and danced wildly, and the waves also hit the unlucky sea ship with the rhythm one by one, every time, Xu Yichen could feel the hull under his feet vibrate.

I don't know how long the boat under my feet can last, Xu Yichen sped up the search, and after entering the third cabin, Xu Yichen picked up a package containing some food, opened it and checked it, and found that it was some batter mixed with minced meat jerky.

The area of the shipbuilding is not large, the cabin in front of him is the last, located at the highest point on the innermost side of the shipbuilding, the room looks much more luxurious than the other cabins, and has a separate window, Xu Yichen felt that this might be the captain's room, so he began to concentrate on searching for all the things that seemed useful.

All chests that could be opened were opened, and in one oak chest, an elegantly shaped metal flask with a ruby in the center was found. Another scimitar also made Xu Yichen feel that he was lucky, the scimitar is not long, the overall arc is like an antelope horn, suitable for chopping, the scabbard is full of exotic textures, and with the lightning outside the window, you can see the scale-like lines on the knife.

At this time, the hull of the ship, which had been tilted even more, made a series of sounds like grinding teeth, and there was nothing else in the room that could be used, Xu Yichen knew that he should leave quickly, otherwise he would return to the bottom of the sea with this ship. Fortunately, the big boat shook a little and held on again, and the pulling sound between the planks was much quieter, giving Xu Yichen enough time to leave here.

After resting on the shore for a while, Xu Yichen checked his belongings.

[Broken leather armor: Leather armor that has been seriously damaged will not bring you other protection except for psychological comfort. - Garbage with little repair value]

[Leather pants: I can't tell what kind of pants it is, the body can hardly be destroyed, but it won't provide you with any defense. - We can't let players spank the world with their bare butts]

[Cowhide boots: Common cowhide boots, although soaked in water, can still be worn. And there is a certain amount of defense. - Don't say we didn't give you anything]

[Delicate scimitar: This is a well-maintained scimitar, exquisite workmanship, because it has been adrift at sea all the year round, it has been specially treated with anti-rust, sharpness: general, texture: general, no special attributes. - A common weapon on board, the former owner cherished it]

[Captain Emus Rockefeller's rum flask: This is Captain Ames Rockefeller's unique flask, and any rum that is filled into the flask will have a trace healing effect and heating effect after 4 hours. - Ahem, without it, my stomach problem would have killed me sooner or later. 】

[Minced meat soup powder: It is made by mixing potato flour, pumpkin flour, and minced dried meat, and it can be eaten by boiling in water. - It looks slimy, but it tastes like it. 】

There were no bodies on the ship, Xu Yichen was able to abandon the ship before the ship ran aground, and the other surviving sailors should have landed on the beach near the wreck, and he should belong to the kind of unlucky bastard, who fell into the sea in the storm and was swept to the shore by the waves. Looking at the flask in his hand, Captain Amus Rockefeller, Xu Yichen felt that there was a great chance that he would survive, and his first task should be on him, and a well-informed captain would definitely be able to take him to the nearest gathering place.

Waved the scimitar in his hand a few times, the cold knife light reflected the light of lightning, although it was not a good hand, but in the days of studying in the Jixia School Palace, all kinds of cold weapons Xu Yichen tried to use in the sword hall, and the style of the scimitar in his hand belonged to the ancient Persian style.

When he participated in the martial arts competition, he fought against the samurai in the Middle East, the angle was tricky, the moves were weird, but his extremely smooth, continuous swinging, slashing and slashing impressed him deeply. The inherent talent [Weapon Mastery] made Xu Yichen not feel a little jerky when he wielded the scimitar in his hand, as if there was an invisible teacher who was teaching him the skills of using the scimitar hand in hand.

Looking at the Black Forest in the distance, Xu Yichen decided to find a place where he could make a fire to keep warm, avoid the icy rain, dry his clothes, and have a full meal. When the rain stopped, try your luck nearby to see if you can find the traces left by the surviving sailors, but just then, a scream is heard from the forest.
