Chapter 07: The Pirate Attack
Both large and small fish floated belly-up on the surface of the sea. There were also various marine creatures, including several sharks and octopuses assisting with rowing.
With both arms, he lifted the two little dolphins that were about to sink to the bottom of the sea and shouted at the wizard on the large ship: "Hurry and bring the antidote!"
In an instant, the surface of the sea was densely covered with the bodies of fish
As everyone marvels at the wizard's extraordinary skills, Wutou's expression turns cold as he says: "This large ship is already in a state of disrepair; I am merely delaying its sinking. We must defeat the pirates immediately and transfer the princess to the small boat."
However, we are about to enter the waters of the South China Sea, notorious for its ruthless pirates. The fortune teller, rather unfortunately, uttered this statement, causing everyone to stop enjoying their delicious dinner, and an involuntary shiver ran through their bodies
Bang! Before Qingji could finish speaking, the large ship suddenly shook violently, causing the silverware on the dining table to rattle and fall to the ground
It is uncertain whether it is because today I helped humans, making them extremely joyful. After assisting them, I did not return home, but continued to play mischievously at the bottom of the sea around the large ship. Who would have expected that the humans who had just fed them fish would actually poison them to death.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Following this, a series of tremendous crashing sounds erupted, as if enormous nails were being driven into the bottom of the ship
As soon as the green smoke touched the seawater, it immediately solidified, transforming into a substance resembling ice, blocking the ship's hull that was flooding with seawater
In the sea area within a thousand meters around that large ship, countless corpses floated to the surface
Raising the wrist, one immediately sees a multitude of small dots appearing on the electronic display screen, all in red.
Bang! A beautiful firework shot out from the bottle, soaring into the sky, transforming into countless sparks of light, blooming into a stunning bauhinia flower in the air
The wizard gently flicked his sleeves, and immediately a wave of green smoke poured into the breach where the water was entering, saying: "It is even more unsafe on the deck of the ship. This large vessel cannot be preserved; release the small boats at once. I will hold off the enemy on the large ship while the lady-in-waiting escorts the princess to the small boat."
Ah! Suddenly, the maid let out a loud scream
However, the subsequent scenario is not beautiful; it appears cruel and bloody
Their cries sounded both aggrieved and sorrowful, growing fainter, as their pure eyes mournfully gazed into the abyss
"Damn it, has the energy run out?" Ming suddenly became alert, realizing that it was completely dark at that moment.
"This is bad, a swarm of enchanted swordfish is attacking the bottom of the ship!" The wizard's expression changed dramatically, and he immediately stood up
This indicates that these small red dots are filled with energy and pose a significant danger
Hey! Ming shouted loudly towards the big ship over there
The formation is rigorous, remaining composed in the face of danger
Suddenly, they seemed to sense danger and immediately turned back to fly towards the large ship, shouting to raise the alarm
The bat flew lower and lower, eventually almost skimming the surface of the sea
The numerous red dots on the electronic screen are moving at a slow speed, currently over six hundred meters away from the large ship where the princess is located
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The soldiers on the ship, bruised and battered, quickly picked up their weapons and ran orderly towards the deck
Due to the tremendous force of the explosion just now, waves over ten meters high were stirred up in the surrounding sea area
Colonel Qingji, unable to locate the enemy! After Colonel Qingji arrived, Major Morun immediately stepped forward and half-knelt to report.
Gazing at the large ship, at this moment there were only a few dozen soldiers patrolling the deck
What a sharp army
The method of exploding the swordfish can only be used once; now, as soon as the swordfish swims over, it is immediately shot into a porcupine by a barrage of crossbow bolts
Qing Ji sat in the lower position, comfortably sipping a glass of red wine, and said: "Indeed! The princess is the most benevolent of the royal family. If she were to fall into the hands of Princess Nana, it would be worse than death. And that person from *Tu* *Shu* is even more insatiable; could it be that he wishes to board the ship and join us in enjoying caviar and fresh shark fin?"
The wizards of this world possess such formidable powers. So insidious and malicious, they resorted to poisoning all the marine life in the vicinity merely to prevent the pirates from unleashing swordfish to attack their ships
In a few minutes, the large ship where the princess is located will collide.
Suddenly, the entire ship was like a pressure cooker. Waves of monstrous cries issued a dangerous alarm to the whole vessel
In the midst of a deep slumber, I suddenly heard the alarm of the electronic watch on my wrist.
Moreover, at this moment, these bats seemed to sense the presence of danger, accelerating their speed as they flew towards the surface of the sea
With a thunderous roar, the entire ship was violently propelled several meters into the air from the surface of the sea, and then it crashed down hard, creating a massive pit in the water
The cabin windows were illuminated, and the aroma of food lingered in the air
If there were a dangerous awakening, those bats flying in the sky would have already sounded the alarm. Qing Ji disdainfully remarked: That person merely saw the princess's kindness and gentleness, wanting to take advantage of it. I am most familiar with the thoughts of such slaves.
On the contrary, someone remarked: "The heart of man is insatiable, a lowly person."
Then, the wizard took out a small vial and dripped a drop of gray liquid onto the crack.
However, Ming could not understand why the pirates would choose to ambush on a small island. The small island is fixed and has no mobility whatsoever
Having said that, Ming lay down at the bow of the boat, choosing the best spot, waiting to watch the spectacle.
Suddenly, the lady-in-waiting slapped her and said sternly, "The princess is still here, so what are you shouting about? After the crisis, go and receive forty lashes yourself"
Suddenly, a child's mournful cry echoed through the sea. Then, two adorable dolphins struggled to leap out of the water, swaying and nearly lifeless.
He gazed at the cluster of red dots on the electronic watch, silently cursing Qingji for being foolish; the enemy was densely packed on the small island ahead.
Just now, that dining table was almost about to crash down on the princess
It is unclear; these red dots indicate whether they represent normal marine animals, such as electric eels, or if they are specifically targeting the large ship where the princess is located
The princess frowned and remained silent
That blossom of the bauhinia, after spreading to its fullest, scattered upon the surface of the sea
Then the people on the ship asked them to help push the floating ice on the sea, and they happily agreed to push the giant ice that was frozen in the underworld beneath the large ship, after receiving two fish as a reward from the people on the ship
Qing Ji, in a fit of anger, glanced around the large ship but found no enemies.
"It is!" The maid was struck several feet away, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and she whispered, "The ship is taking on water"
With immense pain in his heart, he felt a surge of hot blood throughout his body, and with a loud roar, he leaped into the depths of the sea
The wizard lightly rubbed his fingers, and a flame suddenly ignited at his thumb, igniting the smoke that was rising from the mouth of the bottle
Gazing at the two pitiful little dolphins, it was evident that their colors had already changed, clearly indicating that the poison had permeated their bodies
Hurry and escort the princess to the deck!" Qing Ji picked up his sharp sword and walked towards the deck, saying, "I will go command the troops to annihilate the pirates.
Then, the wizard slowly walked up to the deck. He took out a small bottle, cradling it in his palm, and removed the cork. Instantly, a plume of blood-red smoke rose up.
These two adorable little dolphins are just over one year old, and when the large ship passed by, they happened to curiously follow behind and play.
Ming changed his position and lay down, leisurely watching the deck of the large ship.
Behind them, hundreds of soldiers, armed with crossbows, were dispersedly aiming at various positions around them
Ming felt a wave of nausea and looked at the wizard in astonishment
The spirit emerged from the ship and set the biochemical system to a sensitive state. Instantly, the dark night sky became bright, while the surface of the sea remained completely normal
Then, the entire sea was dyed red. In the air lingered an extremely enticing fragrance, creating a truly beautiful scene
Ming watched as the burning ship was suddenly extinguished, as if the wood used in shipbuilding could not catch fire.
Fortunately, the large ship did not capsize and continues to float steadily on the surface of the sea
"The swordfish school, they can at most pierce more than one foot deep, while the bottom of our ship is at least three feet thick." Qing Ji had not finished speaking.
Fuming with anger, Ming Qi then let out a snicker and muttered towards the large ship over there: "Whether you live or die is none of my concern!"
Presumably, the princess and the distinguished guests on the ship are currently enjoying a sumptuous dinner
Who would have thought that all the movements were frozen in the air. Yet, it was unknown why more than a dozen bats fell into the sea, not making a single sound.
A large ship not far away is advancing rapidly, while several enormous bats are flying above the ship
The princess, supported by numerous female officials, turned even paler in fright. However, having been educated in the royal court, she could not show any signs of panic on her face
If someone else's boat immediately turns around and flees, it is certainly impossible to swim after it
The princess, that unfamiliar person just seemed to call out! After the female official, who had been scorched by the gaze of the underworld, served a spoonful of caviar to the princess, she casually remarked
Everyone looked down, and indeed there was a large crack in the ship's deck, with seawater gushing out like a spring.
"Damn it, why are you bringing up that man-eating devil? It makes me want to vomit..." Qing Ji's face turned pale as he angrily said to the diviner, "He won't appear; he won't even have time to fight with General Yu Fengwu."
Qingji's anger had nowhere to vent, and at that moment, seeing Ming shouting loudly, he couldn't help but point at Ming and exclaim: "He is the traitor sent by the pirates; he is the mastermind behind our attack. Shoot him dead!"
Could it be that he has discovered some dangerous situation? Mhetushu.com.com asked the fortune-teller with slight unease
Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that under such a powerful explosion, an entire layer of the ship's hull was sheared off, yet this vessel still remains afloat on the sea, demonstrating its remarkable sturdiness
Due to the biochemical system being in a sensitive state, the aroma of the food appears particularly enticing, further intensifying the hunger in Ming's stomach
This group of pirates must have been summoned by that despicable slave, I will go shoot him dead first
The others, like Qing Ji and the others, were nailed to the floor like nails
The small boat in the dark was also swaying unsteadily, as if it were about to capsize at any moment
At this moment, the entire ship was brightly lit, as bright as day
Subsequently, Ming was pleasantly surprised to discover that the self-repair of the biochemical system had been completed. However, it was unsettling that this self-repair had consumed a significant amount of energy. It is foreseeable that the biochemical system could potentially malfunction at any time and in any place, making it imperative to replenish energy as soon as possible
Penetrating, ten large crossbows were set up by more than thirty soldiers
Apart from a few delicate ladies, when the ship was blown into the air, they fell to the ground
Ming sidestepped and narrowly avoided the crossbow bolt, which immediately pierced through the cabin of the small boat where Ming was located
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The response from the underworld was a series of rapid crossbow shots, with six crossbow bolts flying swiftly towards us
After much effort, the large ship finally stabilized, and hundreds of soldiers, clad in distinctive armor, stood in formation on the deck
The group of swordfish, adorned with high-energy crystals, immediately exploded after their pointed mouths pierced the bottom of the ship. Upon seeing the princess steady herself, the wizard retracted the sleeves that had bound the dining table.
Behind them, over one hundred crossbowmen were stacked in layers, loading their crossbow bolts, aiming at a small island directly ahead
The people of this world are truly remarkable; they cannot create radar, yet they know how to use bats as a form of radar, serving a warning function
Suddenly, the ship's planks began to melt, transforming into a viscous paste that writhed about, akin to the ancient Earth's welding, effectively sealing the cracks.
