v2 Chapter 170： Target Goddess Spear! (1/2)

Jackdaw was chasing a ship named Goddess Spear based on information provided by Karina.

The latter is a whaling ship wandering in this area. This time they left the port and spent a total of more than a year at sea. Eventually, their patience finally returned.

Some time ago, some ships returned to Hong Kong said that they saw that they had killed a huge sperm whale. The latter was a giant beast that was seventy feet long and quite cunning. The goddess Spear had waited for three places where it often appeared. It was only a lucky moment that she won it.

But now all these efforts have paid off. The sperm whale is full of treasures. Fat can be made into whale oil. The huge skull cavity contains whale brain oil, which can be used to make whale wax. The intestines are even pregnant. With extremely precious ambergris.

It is a gray or slightly black wax. When it is taken out, the smell is often very unpleasant. After drying, it will show an amber color and emit a strange aroma. This high-grade fragrance is mainly used as a perfume fixative, and the price has exceeded gold, so it is not only Zhang Heng's Jackdaw that has spotted the whaling ship.

However, the first pirate ship to catch up with the Spear of the Goddess did not end well. Whaling in this era is a very dangerous job. Men who dare to do this work are real men.

They did not panic after seeing the black flag behind them, because there were not enough artillery on board, the captain did not order a counterattack in the face of the shells, but waited for the pirates to fight with each other after they boarded the ship. As a result, these men holding harpoons and fishing nets The sailor rolled farts from the pirates armed with muskets and scimitars.

In the end, they captured the pirate ship, removed the gunpowder and weapons from it, and when the general situation had determined that they had slit the throats of the surrendered pirates and threw their bodies on the deck, they wanted to use this method to scare the back pirate.

This approach did have a certain effect, and some underpowered pirates indeed retreated when they saw the piles of corpses and large blood on the deck.

But those powerful pirates became more and more excited, because it just proved that the other party's ship did have valuable goods, otherwise the sailors would not be so desperate, and a whaling ship would not scare them away.

The Jackdaw led by Zhang Heng did not withdraw from the competition.

With the victory of the first voyage, the Jackdaw completed a new round of recruitment, and the number of crew members rose to 62. This time, the number of recruited personnel is much higher than before, especially for the gunner. Billy Directly dug over the chief gunner of a powerful old pirate regiment, and the new chef Difraina found was also very powerful. It was originally a chef of an inn on the island. His skill in the sea for half a month It was praised by all the crew, and the boring sea life didn't seem to be so unbearable.

What's more important is that both the new and old crew are now full of confidence in Captain Zhang Heng.

With previous gains, Billy did n’t even need to make a speech to mobilize the ship when he left the port. He was already full of morale, and no one saw the ship's pirates killed halfway.
