Chapter 184 [Fishing Number], [Lord of Billions of Glory] News
All this happened so fast that most people couldn't react in time and could only watch in stunned silence.
Before some 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 Hasson is on board!
Captain Hazen was knocked out!
That was a third-level Mystic, and the strongest in the entire ship. He didn't even have the strength to fight back in front of Xia En! ?
Wow!
The water splashed everywhere, and Hassen, who was thrown into the sea, roared angrily, spread out a pair of blood-red wings from his back, and rushed towards Xia En.
The sound of the wind was dull, mixed with a heart-shaking howl, like the whole mountain was roaring!
Xia En raised his hand and gently and deftly caught Hasen's fist.
Although 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 research, 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.
But at this time, when he saw the blood wings appearing behind Xia En, Hasen's expression suddenly changed.
"……How can it be!?"
Although it was not real blood, the method of mobilizing blood energy clearly had the same origin as their blood secret method!
"You, what on earth 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 the blood in his body to form a protective film on the body surface.
But at this time, Xia En's foot had already landed on Hasen's body.
Only a crisp "click" sound was heard.
That layer of blood protection didn't last even half a second before it shattered in an instant, and the 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, Hasen 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 understand why -
"Why is this man so strong?"
And all around, whether it was the crew of the Viper or other bystanders with different agendas, they all looked a little dull.
Hassen's previous attack was blocked, and it could be described as a hasty attack without preparation.
But in this head-to-head confrontation, the truth was nakedly displayed in front of everyone——
Hassen, couldn't even take one of Shane's moves!
This is true for all third-level mystics, not to mention some first- 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 hearsay.
After witnessing 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 dazed.
How could there be ten minutes between encountering the Viper and the dust settling?
Not even five minutes!
Alyssa felt lucky once again that Shane was their friend, not their enemy.
…
…
Not far away on the sea.
[White Dove] and [Heron] are traveling 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 an 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 [Black Swan] is indeed extraordinary."
Although Julian gave an explanation when he retreated without a fight three days ago, it still made some crew members 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, the ship pierced by the light beam might have turned into the [White Dove]!
"What exactly is that incredibly 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?"
After thinking for a while, Julian replied: "It's probably some kind of magic weapon."
"I have seen similar equipment at the federal headquarters, but this kind of 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 exactly that [Sand Island]."
"It just so happens that there is an order from above to let us go to [Sand Island] as an advance team 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. The environment on that island... is really not suitable for human beings!"
"And those natives are extremely powerful and each one is more brutal than the other."
Suddenly, the first mate noticed something and looked at Julian in surprise.
"Wait, Captain... don't you want to compete for the [Norwich Treasure] too?"
"Why not?"
Julian smiled, and although his tone was still very calm, he revealed an unusual ambition.
"Even pirate ships like [Siren] and [Thunder] want to get a piece of the pie, why don't I try?"
It is true that [White Dove] is a [patrol ship] of the Federation.
But the laws of the Federation have never prohibited [patrol ships] from seeking benefits for themselves.
On the contrary, as long as it does not violate the law, the Federation still supports such behavior.
After all, the supplies and rewards issued by the Federation alone are not enough to mobilize the enthusiasm of many [patrol ships].
If you want the horse to run, you must feed it with grass.
Therefore, 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 [patrol ship].
It is not too surprising that Julian would have such an idea.
The first mate's face changed several times, and he still said carefully: "Captain Julian, forgive me for being blunt, [Sand Island] is very dangerous."
"Even a third-level secret pather may be buried there at any time."
This is a subtle reminder that Julian's strength is not enough.
"Third level?"
Julian smiled confidently: "I won't be soon!"
Hearing this, the first mate was shocked at first, and then couldn't help showing joy on his face.
...
...
At the same time.
Shane and the crew were cleaning up the mess on the [Viper].
Although Hassen was defeated, he at least had some loyal vampire subordinates on his ship.
At this time, Shane naturally could not show mercy to them.
After killing Hassen and a group of diehards, the remaining crew members surrendered as a matter of course.
Looking at the dead Hassen, Shane truly realized the terrible comprehensive quality of 3.17. He had a crushing advantage against the third-level secret pather.
And Shane felt a little strange about the [Viper] that had become his trophy.
In the past, facing the pursuit of the [Viper], they could only flee in embarrassment and had no power to fight back.
Now, it didn't take Shane much effort to defeat this ship.
It was really touching.
But soon, a new problem was placed in front of Shane-
What should be done with this [Viper] and its crew?
A big hole was opened on the side of the [Viper], but under Shane's deliberate control, it did not damage the ship's sailing ability, nor did it sink.
Obviously, this ship can be sold at a good price.
The crew members on the ship are all experienced sailors with good skills. They are rare talents for ordinary ships.
It is obviously a waste to kill them all.
Things are different now.
At the beginning, Shane basically did not keep any prisoners because there were few people on the ship and there was no condition to control the prisoners.
Now, this batch of prisoners is obviously worth a lot of gold dragon coins, so of course they have to keep some first.
The only problem is...
Who should I find to sell it?
This is not the [Crime Islands]. If you want to find someone to sell ships and prisoners, you have to find someone to buy them!
The first people Shane thought of were Loren and Alyssa.
But then he thought, they were so poor, how could they have the spare money to buy such a big ship?
It is possible to buy some prisoners.
Thinking of this, Shane waved in the direction of the two ships, indicating that they should go on board to negotiate.
But at this moment, he caught a glimpse of...
A shabby steamship was slowly approaching the [Black Swan].
After seeing its appearance, Shane's expression was very strange.
This ship is not big, about the size of the Black Swan after its first enhancement.
The equipment on the ship, the chimney, the armor, the deck... are all rusty and dilapidated, just like they were just fished out of the sea.
Judging from the appearance alone, even if this ship sinks by itself in the next moment, it will not be surprising.
Rusty, broken, and stained.
——This is the first impression of this ship.
But after it approached, Shane was keenly aware of an unusual breath.
[Master, that ship... is a little wrong! ]
Not only Shane, Xiao Hei also issued a warning in his consciousness.
[There is a smell of danger on it! ]
You know, when facing the huge Viper, Xiao Hei did not show any strange emotions.
At this moment, facing this shabby and broken boat, he was so vigilant, which was enough to show the specialness of the other party.
While Shane was on guard, Alyssa used the teleportation spell to come to the deck first.
Seeing the shabby steamship not far away, Alyssa's face changed slightly: "[Fishing]? It's here too?"
Shaeen asked curiously: "[Fishing]? 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 learned 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, [Diaoyu] is still alive and well, so the fate of those "fish" is self-evident.
"Furthermore, it is said that the captain of that ship, Lindrick, 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, most of them 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 aboard, Captain Lindereck."
As soon as the old dwarf got on the boat, Xia En couldn't help but frown slightly.
The other party'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 ordinary third-level secret path practitioners 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 across 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 as he asked directly.
"Captain Lindereck, what is the business you want to discuss?"
"Of course it's this [Viper]."
Lin Deliek also got straight to the point: "This ship has a deep connection with the vampires. Most people may not 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 was indeed true. Accepting the Viper would mean receiving revenge from the vampires.
Ordinary pirates don't want to add another enemy.
After thinking about it, Shane asked, "So, what's the price you gave?"
Lin Deliek looked directly into Xia En's eyes and said bluntly: "1,500 gold dragon coins, or equivalent extraordinary materials."
"And...a message."
Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What news?"
Lindereck showed a mysterious smile: "I wonder if Captain Shane has heard of it..."
"The Lord of Billions of Glory?"
