"Rattlesnake's tail, bat's teeth, toad's skin, and ten-year-unwashed hair!"
Holding the glass bottle and wrinkling his nose, Li Qingyuan felt beads of cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
According to Tia Dalma, what he was currently mixing was a black magic potion that could transform a person into a monster similar to a Reanimated Corpse.
Reanimated Corpses felt no pain and didn't bleed. Their resistance to blows was several times stronger than ordinary people. Besides being a bit dim-witted and afraid of fire, they were definitely the first choice for wizards to make bodyguards.
Boom—Boom—
Hearing the sound of cannon fire from outside the door, Li Qingyuan helplessly threw the failed potion into the recycling furnace!
Learning black magic was a meticulous task. Even experienced veterans had a high probability of failure, let alone him, who was just starting out.
Even with his talent, which even the witch praised, his learning time was too short. It was impossible to achieve mastery in a short period.
"Did that crab come to die again today?" Li Qingyuan walked out of his laboratory and waved at Bellamy, who was standing at the bow of the ship.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but I've driven it back!" Bellamy raised his head proudly. He felt immense glory in defeating the Ghost Ship in naval battles, even though he had repelled it more than ten times.
"Crab-head is really desperate!" Thinking of Davy Jones's current anxious and frightened appearance, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but want to laugh.
It had been half a month since they set sail, and they would probably arrive at the island where Davy Jones's heart was located soon, so it was understandable that the other party was impatient.
For those undead who had lost their five senses, death might even be their greatest relief, but for a ghost like Davy Jones, who could eat and drink, he didn't want to just die.
Therefore, whoever controlled Davy Jones's heart also controlled the Ghost Ship.
Li Qingyuan was already considering whether he should punish Davy Jones by making him crawl on the ground upside down for ten kilometers after he dug out his heart.
That guy came to harass them every day, which wasn't dangerous, but it was annoying!
No one knew when it would attack. If the ship's soldiers weren't currently in a state of mental expansion, ordinary people would have been driven insane by now.
"Your Majesty!" Jack Sparrow emerged from the cabin, sporting two huge panda eyes and looking completely drained.
He had been under study in Tia Dalma's room these past few days. Of course, everyone was an adult, so there was no need to explain what kind of "study" was going on!
The sea goddess Calypso was, by nature, a goddess who was fickle in love; otherwise, she wouldn't have stood up Davy Jones in the first place. Even with her divine powers sealed, her nature hadn't changed.
The witch originally wanted Li Qingyuan to follow her around and study during this time, but as for the witch's appearance, Li Qingyuan could only politely decline.
Even if Elizabeth had grown somewhat tired of it after six months, his appetite hadn't improved to the point where he could stomach the witch's getup!
So, the great Captain Jack Sparrow was put to use.
But seeing Jack Sparrow looking so… worn out, it seemed he'd been studied pretty thoroughly!
"What's up?"
Considering the guy had taken the blame for him, Li Qingyuan decided to be a little nicer for a change.
"The witch sent me to ask if we're going the right way?" Jack Sparrow's eyes were unfocused, and his legs were trembling; he could barely stand.
Even with her divine power sealed, the witch still possessed it. Even if Captain Jack was a self-proclaimed walking machine, facing a witch possessed by divine power and not being studied to death was a testament to his unique talents!
"Direction?" Li Qingyuan took the Compass out of his pocket, a little puzzled. The needle was pointing in the exact direction they were sailing.
"Nope! See?" He held up the Compass, showing it to Bellamy and Jack Sparrow.
"The chart! The chart!"
Seeing the Compass's direction, even Bellamy's face changed, and he started shouting frantically.
The sailors immediately handed over the sea chart, and the three of them stared at the directions marked on the map, dumbfounded.
"This…"
"Er…"
Bellamy and Jack Sparrow exchanged glances, unsure how to begin.
"How could this be?"
Li Qingyuan looked at the location marked on the sea chart and said reluctantly.
According to the chart, they would arrive at a place called Whitecap Bay within a day's travel at most.
Davy Jones' heart was recorded as being buried on a deserted island, and clearly, Whitecap Bay didn't fit the deserted island description at all.
Because Whitecap Bay was a gathering place for Mermaids/Sirens, it had a fearsome reputation throughout the entire Caribbean Sea!
The Mermaids/Sirens of this world certainly possessed beautiful faces and sexy bodies, along with fish tails that were strangely beautiful, but they had absolutely nothing to do with the kind, legendary mermaids.
The Mermaids/Sirens of the Caribbean, or perhaps it was more fitting to call them Sirens.
These beautiful mermaids would sing at sea to attract the attention of sailors, then drag the mesmerized sailors into the water and eat them.
That's right, these beautiful mermaids were ferocious carnivores, especially fond of eating humans!
Looking at the Compass in his hand, and then at the markings on the sea chart, Li Qingyuan felt somewhat depressed.
Admittedly, he did want to catch a few Mermaids/Sirens to play with. Even if these mermaids might be troublesome to use, at least they were pleasing to the eye!
But he clearly wanted to find Davy Jones's heart, damn it! Where was this Compass pointing?
"Well, Your Majesty, the Compass points to the deepest desires of a person's heart. Perhaps Davy Jones isn't considered an enemy in your mind." Bellamy carefully considered his words, trying to give the King a way out.
That's right!
Li Qingyuan patted Bellamy on the shoulder. Indeed, he was worthy of being the Navy Minister he'd promoted; he knew how to speak.
Jack Sparrow, who had been covering his mouth and snickering, saw that someone's expression had turned sour, and immediately stood up with a serious face.
"Your Majesty, Davy Jones is just a small problem. But it's not a solution to have him following us every day. I think you should give me that Compass first, and let me lead a team to find his heart."
For Jack Sparrow, if he could just get rid of Davy Jones, then he could go back to being an unfettered pirate on the sea.
He'd been constrained under Li Qingyuan's hand these past few days, and it was almost suffocating him.
