Chapter 184: [Fishing Number], the news of [Lord of Billions of Glory]
Chapter 184 [Fishing Number], [Lord of Billions of Glory] News
This all happened so fast that most people couldn't react in time and could only watch in stunned silence.
Before some of the crew members of the [Viper] even figured out who the enemy was and why they were fighting, the beam of the [Magic Light Penetration Cannon] had already penetrated the hull of the ship.
Then, the [Black Swan] collided.
Then...
Captain Hazen is on board!
Captain Hazen was knocked out!
That was a third-level Mystic Pathfinder and the strongest person in the entire ship. He didn't even have the power to fight back in front of Xia En! ?
Hurrah!
The water splashed everywhere, and Hassen, who was thrown into the sea, roared angrily, spread out a pair of blood-colored wings from his back, and rushed straight towards Xia En.
The sound of the wind was dull, mixed with a heart-shaking sharp howl, like the whole mountain was roaring!
Xia En raised his hand and gently and deftly caught Hassen's fist.
Even though he was in mid-air, his seemingly thin body did not waver at all. Only the wings made of blood behind him trembled slightly and were vaguely visible.
After some study, Xia En has mastered the method of controlling the flight of [Blood Power], so that he can overlook the people on the [Viper] from a high position.
At this moment, when he saw the **** wings appearing behind Xia En, Hassen's expression suddenly changed.
"…How can it be!?"
Although it is not real blood, the method of mobilizing blood energy clearly has the same source as their blood secret method!
“You, what are you…”
Before Ha Sen finished speaking, Xia En kicked him out casually.
This kick seemed light, but Hassen felt that he could not avoid it no matter what.
At the critical moment, he forcibly used the secret power of blood in his body to form a protective film on the body surface.
But at this moment, Xia En’s foot had already landed on Hasen’s body.
There was only a crisp "click" sound.
That layer of blood protection didn't last even half a second before it shattered in an instant, and a huge impact swept through Hasen's body again.
How does that violent power look like a human being?
It was more like a big ship or a storm hitting him directly!
In an instant, Hassen was vomiting blood, his breath was weak, and he fell from a high place like a kite with broken strings.
His eyes widened and he couldn’t figure it out—
“Why is this man so strong?”
The surroundings, whether it was the crew of the Viper or other onlookers with their own purposes, were already looking a little dull.
Hassen’s previous attack was blocked, and it can be described as a hasty attack without preparation.
But this time in a head-to-head confrontation, the truth was nakedly displayed in front of everyone——
Hassen, can’t even take one of Shane’s moves!
The same is true for third-level secretaries, not to mention some first-level and second-level captains.
I don’t know who sighed: "[Black Swan] is still [Black Swan]..."
“It seems that after being missing for more than a month, instead of getting weaker, it has become stronger.”
These captains may not be unaware of the previous achievements of the Black Swan.
However, people are more willing to believe what they see with their own eyes than to hearsay.
After seeing the terrifying strength displayed by Xia En, they quickly gave up their original thoughts and quietly turned the ship around and left.
On the [Siren], Alyssa opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at the figure standing in the sky above the [Viper], and couldn't help but feel in a trance.
From the time when the Viper was encountered to when the dust settled, where was the ten minutes?
It’s not even five minutes!
Alyssa felt lucky once again that Shane was their friend, not their enemy.
…
…
On the sea not far away.
[White Dove] and [Heron] are moving forward side by side.
After being forced back by the [Black Swan] that day, they did not just leave, but followed behind, ready to wait for the opportunity.
Julian, who is known as "Bloody Hand", looked in the direction of the [Black Swan] and said softly.
“Now, can you understand why I didn’t take action before?”
The first mate on the ship nodded and said with emotion: "As expected of Captain Julian."
“That ship [Black Swan] is indeed extraordinary.”
Three days ago, Julian gave an explanation when he retreated without a fight, but it still made some crew members a little suspicious.
—It’s just a pirate ship. Is it so scary for the captain?
The scene before them made them clearly understand...
Really!
If they had launched an attack on the [Black Swan] that day, then the ship pierced by the light beam might have turned into the [White Dove]!
“What exactly is that powerful beam of light?”
The first mate looked at the battle not far away and asked curiously: "Isn't this power... close to the blow of a fourth-level Mystic?"
Julian thought for a while and replied: "It's probably some kind of magic weapon."
“I have seen similar equipment at the federal headquarters, but this weapon requires a certain amount of time to charge, and it takes a long time to accumulate it after firing this shot.”
"I see."
The first mate seemed to understand, but couldn't help but ask: "Captain, what should we do next?"
“You can’t just follow them all the time, right?”
Julian glanced at him and said in a calm tone: "Don't be impatient yet."
"If I guess correctly, their destination is the [Sand Island]."
“It just so happens that there is an order from above, let us go to [Sand Island] as an advance force and wait for the next instructions.”
“Hiss…[Sand Island]…”
Hearing this, the first mate took a breath and showed an uneasy look: "I have been to that island, and the environment on that island... is really not suitable for human beings!"
“And the group of natives are extremely powerful, each one more ferocious than the other.”
Suddenly, the first mate noticed something and looked at Julian in surprise.
“Wait a minute, Captain, you...don’t you want to compete for the [Norwich Treasure] too?”
"why not?"
Julian smiled. Although his tone was still calm, it revealed a hint of unusual ambition.
“Even pirate ships like the Siren and Thunder want to get a share of the pie, why don’t I give it a try?”
The [White Dove] is the Federation's [hunting ship], that's right.
But federal laws have never prohibited [hunting boats] from pursuing their own interests.
On the contrary, the Federation still supports this kind of behavior as long as it does not violate the law.
After all, the materials and rewards distributed by the federation alone are not enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of many [hunting ships].
If you want a horse to run, you must give it grass.
So, whether it is the gains from destroying pirate ships, or the gains from various islands and underwater ruins, they are all the spoils of the [Punting Ship] itself.
It is not too surprising that Julian would have such an idea.
The first mate's expression changed several times, but he still said carefully: "Captain Julian, with all due respect, [Sand Island] is very dangerous."
“Even a third-level secret journeyer may be killed at any time.”
This is a subtle reminder that Julian's strength is not enough.
“Third level?”
Julian showed a confident smile: "I won't be anymore soon!"
Hearing this, the first mate was surprised at first, and then couldn't help but look happy.
…
…
at the same time. Xia En and the crew are cleaning up the mess on the Viper.
Although Hazen was defeated, he still had some loyal vampire subordinates on his ship.
At this time, it was naturally impossible for Xia En to show mercy to them.
After killing Hazen and a group of diehards, the remaining crew surrendered as a matter of course.
Looking at the dead Hasen, Xia En truly realized the horror of the overall quality of 3.17. He had a crushing advantage against the third-level Mystic.
As for the Viper, which had become his trophy, Xia En also felt a little strange.
In the past, when faced with the pursuit of the Viper, they could only flee in panic, without the ability to fight back.
Now, it didn't take much energy from Xia En to defeat this ship.
It’s really touching.
But soon, a new problem was placed in front of Shane—
What should we do with the Viper and its crew?
A big hole was opened in the side of the Viper, but under Shane's deliberate control, the ship's navigation ability was not damaged, and it would not sink.
Obviously, this boat will fetch a good price.
The crew members on the ship are all experienced sailors with good abilities. They are all rare talents for ordinary ships.
Just killing them all is obviously a waste.
Today is different from the past.
At the beginning, Xia En basically kept no prisoners because there were few people on the ship and there were no conditions to control the prisoners.
Now, these prisoners are obviously worth a lot of gold dragon coins, so of course they must be kept first.
The only problem is…
Who should I ask for help?
This is not the [Luosui Islands]. If you want to find someone to sell ships and prisoners, you need someone to take them!
The first thing Shane thought of was naturally Loren and Alyssa.
But then I thought about it, they were so poor themselves, how could they have the spare money to buy such a big ship?
It is possible to buy some prisoners.
Thinking of this, Xia En waved in the direction of the two ships, motioning them to board the ship for discussion.
But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of... from the corner of his eye...
A dilapidated steamship is slowly approaching the [Black Swan].
After seeing its appearance, Xia En's expression was very strange.
This ship is not that big, only about the size of the [Black Swan] after it was first strengthened.
The equipment on the ship, including the chimneys, armor, decks...all were rusty and dilapidated, as if they had just been fished out of the sea.
Judging from the appearance alone, it would not be a surprise even if the ship sank in the next moment.
Rusty, broken, stained.
—This is the first impression this ship gives.
But as it approached, Xia En was keenly aware of an unusual aura.
【Master, there is something wrong with that ship...! 】
Not only Xia En, Xiao Hei also issued an early warning in his consciousness.
【It has a dangerous smell on it! 】
You must know that when facing the huge Viper, Xiao Hei did not show any strange emotions.
At this moment, facing this dilapidated and broken boat, he was so wary, which is enough to show the special nature of the other party.
At the same time that Xia En was on guard, Alyssa took the lead in arriving on the deck with the help of teleportation spells.
Seeing the dilapidated steamship not far away, Alyssa's expression changed slightly: "[Fishing Number]? Is it coming too?"
Xia En asked curiously: "[Fishing Number]? What a strange name. Is this ship famous?"
Alyssa shook her head: "On the contrary, its reputation is very small and it is only known to a very small range. I only knew of its existence by chance."
“What’s special about it is...the name ‘fishing’.”
Hearing this, Xia En was thoughtful.
Fishing means that the surface of the boat is nothing more than bait.
Pirates who are even slightly confident in their own strength will try to rob this small ship.
But now, [Fishing Number] is still alive and well, so the fate of those "fish" is self-evident.
“Furthermore, it is said that the captain of that ship, Lindereck, has unique connections and knows many secrets on the seven seas, as well as many good things that others cannot buy.”
Alyssa continued: “So, there are some captains who will buy intelligence and equipment from him.”
Xia En understood clearly.
This is an information dealer and maritime trader.
Of course, they probably don’t mind playing the role of pirates when necessary.
Once the identity is clear, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of this ship.
At this time, a small transport boat was put down on the [Fishing Number], with only a gray-haired dwarf and a human first mate on board.
“Captain Shane of [Black Swan], I’m here to discuss a business deal with you.”
After a brief thought, Shane said: "Please come on board, Captain Lindereck."
As soon as the old dwarf got on the boat, Xia En couldn't help but frown slightly.
The opponent's aura seems to be ordinary, not as powerful as Alyssa or Loren.
But upon closer inspection, Xia En immediately felt a stinging pain like a needle.
Xia En looked solemn.
This is definitely not the aura that an ordinary third-level secret path user should have.
This dwarf captain is obviously hiding very deep.
What surprised Xia En the most was that the other party actually gave him a feeling of déjà vu.
At the same time, a flash of surprise flashed through Lin Deliek's cloudy eyes, and he said hoarsely.
“It seems that Captain Shane’s inspiration is very keen.”
Inspiration?
Hearing this word, Xia En's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm and he asked directly.
“Captain Lindereck, what is the business you want to discuss?”
“Of course it’s this [Viper].”
Lindelek also got straight to the point: "This ship has a deep connection with the vampires. Most people probably don't have the guts to acquire it."
“But I’m different.”
“I dare to take the boats that others dare not take!”
“I dare to do business that others dare not do!”
What Lindrick said is indeed the truth. Accepting the "Viper" means that you will receive revenge from the vampires.
Ordinary pirates don’t want to add another enemy.
Shaan thought for a while and asked, “So, what’s the price you gave?”
Lindrick looked directly into Xia En's eyes and said bluntly: "1,500 gold dragon coins, or the equivalent of extraordinary materials."
“And…a message.”
Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What news?"
Lindrick showed a mysterious smile: "I wonder if Captain Shane has heard of it..."
“Lord of billions of radiances?”
