The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 51 Mermaid

On the rough sea, a ghost ship named "Queen Anna's Revenge" sails slowly. It is the legendary mount of the great pirate Blackbeard.

On the bow stands a huge skeleton carefully made of human bones. Its empty eye sockets stare at the passing ships, exuding a chilling aura and telling the world about the countless blood and atrocities it has witnessed.

Inside the cabin, human heads were hung in every corner, their expressions varied, some hideous, some painful. These silent decorations shrouded the entire ship in a suffocating atmosphere of terror.

This ship is not only a symbol of Blackbeard's ambition and brutality, but also a shelter for his mysterious identity. Although the pirates on the ship are fierce, none of them have ever seen Blackbeard's true face.

Blackbeard always hides himself in the captain's room, mysterious and unpredictable, and only conveys his orders through his first mate and those terrifying zombies.

Although these zombies move stiffly, they are intimidating and their presence makes the pirates on the ship feel uneasy all the time.

Although the pirates had doubts about the captain's true identity, Blackbeard's reputation firmly bound their hearts and made them dare not have any thoughts of disobedience.

However, this calm did not last long.

One day, the door of the captain's room was kicked open from the inside. The sudden loud noise instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the ship.

"step on……"

Heavy footsteps echoed on the deck, and a bearded man appeared before everyone.

His face was obscured by a thick beard, revealing only a pair of sharp and gloomy eyes.

The pirates who were swept by his sword-like gaze all lowered their heads immediately, not daring to look him in the face, as if they would be swallowed up instantly if they met his gaze.

Blackbeard smashed the bottle in his hand hard, and the sound of the broken glass was particularly harsh in the silent air.

Then he drew the Triton sword from his waist, and the sword flashed coldly in the dim light.

Suddenly, the boat began to move automatically without wind, speeding away as fast as an arrow from a bow.

The pirates on the ship were thrown to and fro by the sudden acceleration and were in chaos.

"Stand up, you bastards!" Blackbeard's voice was like a roar from hell. "From now on, you are not allowed to stop for a moment."

"Captain, where is our destination?" a pirate asked courageously.

However, the response he received was a severe whip from the resurrected corpse. The whip was like the tentacles of the god of death, lashing him mercilessly.

"Keep going east and don't stop without my order!" Blackbeard's voice echoed on the deck, and his mood was extremely bad.

It turned out that the resurrected corpse sent to protect his daughter brought back bad news that Jack Sparrow and his daughter were captured by the mysterious wizard.

Blackbeard knew very well that if he wanted to find the Fountain of Youth, he would have to rely on Jack Sparrow.

Fortunately, he had a trick up his sleeve. Blackbeard produced a puppet in the image of Angelica, which he had meticulously crafted using sorcery. The puppet faced east, the direction of Angelica.

"The Fountain of Youth is mine!" The terrible prophecy became Blackbeard's death warrant. He was determined to find the Fountain of Youth to extend his life and break the damn prophecy no matter what the cost.

At the same time, the British Navy led by Hector Barbossa and the fleet sent by the Spanish royal family were marching towards Whitecap Bay.

The first to arrive at Whitecap Bay was Wes. At this time, the sun was high in the sky, emitting a blazing light.

"Mermaids hunt at night or in foggy weather."

Jack Sparrow said.

From yesterday till now, he has not stopped for a moment.

"Come to shore."

After Jack Sparrow docked the boat, he decided to relax since it was still early before dark.

With the help of the potion, he didn't feel tired at all from the night's exertion. "Are all pirates as unrestrained as you?"

"Who knows if I will be alive tomorrow? Let's enjoy life while we can." Jack Sparrow was not ashamed of it, but proud of it, with an unruly smile on his face.

The sky quickly darkened.

Jack Sparrow walked out of the cabin refreshed, and Angelica followed him quietly.

"So how are you going to catch those mermaids?"

Wes stood on the deck without saying a word. He silently put a small boat into the sea, then took out four scarecrows and muttered something.

They were originally shriveled and ordinary, but under the spell he whispered, the scarecrows gradually expanded and finally turned into four lifelike pirates.

Wes jumped onto the boat, and the scarecrow-transformed pirates surrounded Wes in the center of the boat. They slowly rowed with the oars in their hands, and the boat glided silently on the sea.

The kerosene lamp in Weiss's hand emitted a soft light, illuminating the area within ten meters.

Angelica, who stayed on the ship, now encouraged Jack Sparrow to escape.

"Jack, let's take this opportunity to escape."

"What about the witchcraft on us?" Jack Sparrow's voice was hesitant, his eyes wandering between Angelica and the sea in the distance.

"I will ask my father to help break the spell," Angelica said eagerly.

"Blackbeard?" Jack Sparrow sneered, "Come on, I'd rather believe this wizard."

Just when Angelica was about to continue persuading her, an alluring song suddenly came from the sea.

The melody is like gentle waves, lapping against the shore of the soul.

There is endless tenderness in the song, as if it can heal all pain and fatigue.

"Here it comes!" Wes whispered.

Even Angelica was attracted by the mermaid's singing.

A mermaid was lying at the stern of the boat. Her elf-like delicate face and a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak could charm most men.

Unfortunately, this time it was just like winking at a blind man - it was a waste of effort.

A scarecrow suddenly attacked, quickly and accurately strangled the mermaid's neck, and then quickly restored its original scarecrow appearance.

The mermaid immediately dropped her disguise, revealing her sharp teeth and roaring threateningly.

The mermaid's roar conveyed a certain message, and the mermaids began to ram the boat frantically. Some mermaids threw out a rope woven with seaweed, put it around the scarecrow's neck and dragged it into the sea.

However, when the mermaids discovered that it was a scarecrow that was dragged into the water, they felt something was wrong, but it was too late.

Weiss touched the sea surface with his wand, and frost quickly spread.

The five mermaids who didn't have time to escape were frozen to the sea. They beat the ice hard to break it open, but it was no use. The other mermaids wanted to rescue them, but they were afraid of falling into a trap, so they could only watch from afar.

"Lucky, five fish got caught." Wes walked on the ice with a calm expression.

The mermaid looked pitiful and pleaded in a low voice. Weiss was unmoved. You know, these mermaids are extremely dangerous under their beautiful appearance. They are man-eating.

Weiss pulled out a bottle and tapped it with his wand.

The bottle emitted a powerful suction force, sucking the five mermaids into the bottle.

The five shrunken mermaids desperately banged on the wall of the glass bottle. They were shouting loudly, but the sound insulation effect of the bottle was so good that no sound could be heard.

Wes put the bottle back into his pocket with satisfaction.
