Chapter 232: Shark Crocodile

I don't know where this shark-flagged fleet came from, but it was certainly not a good person, otherwise it would not have flown such a terrifying flag. Yongchang turned his head and called Guo Ying and Xu Si, who followed him to investigate.

"This is the Sharks' boat." Guo Ying made a judgment at a glance.

"The Sharks are the great pirates who have been entrenched in this area, specializing in plundering merchant ships in this waterway.

"The helmsman of the Shark Gang is righteous, famous on the road, and has always begged for food in the sea of Guangdong, how could he run so far and come here? Odd! ”

Xu Si has run through many docks and is familiar with some of the pirates, and it seems that this Shark Gang is also very famous in Guangdong.

The nine ships that came this time, the smallest of which was seven or eight hundred tons, and the three big ships were at least two thousand tons, which was already a high-end product of the wooden boat era for ordinary fishing boats, and the stranded sailing ship and the abandoned Jiaolong pirate ship were like little brothers in front of this ship.

There are at least three hundred pirates coming over from so many ships, and now the comparison between friend and foe has reached twenty to one, and the two people around them have gasped.

At this moment, nine ships were docked at the edge of the fjord, and four rowed boats had already sailed towards two empty ships.

Yongchang was wrong, not three hundred pirates came on the pirate ship, but more than five hundred. More than 500 experienced thieves have already swaggered to his doorstep.

At this time, the boss of the Shark Gang, the helmsman, was standing on the largest pirate ship with a heavy heart and a dejected face.

This time, through the chess pieces lurking in the Jiao Long Gang, he found out a secret in the industry, the legendary treasure of the Wicked Island, which was about to be obtained by Jiao Long. The staggering wealth is an opportunity for the Shark Gang, which is increasingly suppressed by the fleets of various countries, to grow. How could he pass up such an opportunity?

His family has been a fisherman for generations, and no man in the previous three generations has died on the shore, and his father just wants him to be free on land and not get in the water.

Unfortunately, his father himself was killed in a pirate fight. Growing up by the sea, his son inherited his father's business, and also picked up the rice bowl of licking blood with a knife.

Relying on the connections that his family has accumulated for generations of thieves, as well as his courage and determination, and a good kung fu, he has brought out a crack pirate fleet. After doing a few big deals, the team grew to thousands of people, occupying a small island as a nest, and prospering.

The name of the Shark Gang on the sea is also famous, and it is one of the best giants.

And his helmsman, with his six hundred elites, has become a figure who stomps his feet on the waterway and shakes the mountains on the spot.

This time, he concentrated all the elites under his command, twelve ships, more than seven hundred pirates and skilled sailors, just to attack with all his strength and snatch food from Jiao Long's hands.

According to the general direction, he pursued for nearly a month, but when he was about to give up, he encountered a great storm at sea that he had never seen in his life. For five days and five nights, the large and small wooden galleons of the pirate fleet swirled around the waves and whirlpools, struggling with death and despair.

In the end he lost three ships, almost two hundred pirates and sailors. The rest are all exhausted and have become the end of the crossbow.

Although he had now found two ships, he was not overjoyed, but had a trace of inexplicable panic. This feeling is a premonition that can only be found when encountering a strong enemy.

The two ships in front of me didn't see a single figure.

According to the information provided by the insider, it was the Jiao Long brothers who led the team to hunt down the Fan family, and the pirate ship anchored on the edge of the fjord in front of them was the ship of Jiao Long's younger brother Yasha.

This No. 1 fierce general under Jiao Long has always taken the lead with a clipper, and he has always been the first to kill people and get more goods.

The ship, which had run aground in the shallow water, had disappeared even the sails, mast and superstructure, and if it weren't for the fact that some of his men knew the clipper boat piloted by a gang of deserters, he would never have believed that this was the target he had spent so much effort looking for.

What kind of encounter does it take to cause such a tragic situation in front of us?

"Master Helmsman, the little ones are back." His cronies, the captain of the guard, Luo Yasu, reminded him, interrupting his musings.

This big fat man named Ah Fa has been his follower for decades, and Bucktooth Su's father is the henchman of his father, who has been fighting together since he was a child, and he fought bravely with him when he was young.

During the fight, someone smashed a full mouth of teeth with a stone, and Bucktooth Su is also a well-known name in the Shark Gang.

Looking in the direction of the target, several rowers approached the ship one after another, but after a while, two small leaders leading the team stood in front of him.

"Helmsman!" After many years of accumulating power, his subordinates did not dare to speak casually, and saluted him respectfully, and the two of them stood down waiting for his inquiry.

"See?"

"Back to the helm, there is no one on Jiao Long's ship, everything in it has been emptied, and his subordinates have carefully looked at the bow and stern of the ship, and the original position for firing guns is also empty, so it was moved away. There were blood stains and gun holes in the two cabins, and it looked like they had dried up after some days, and there were blood stains left by hauling corpses on the ground. ”

The first to reply was the helmsman's distant relative, Man Rudder, who used to hunt for a living, and worked in the Shark Gang for several years. Now he leads more than 20 subordinates to inquire about the news and investigate the enemy's situation.

"Return, back to the helm, the ship in the bay is full of fighting marks, gun holes and gun holes everywhere, pits on the deck, and blood all over the ground. The railings were broken, the houses were swept away, and the bottom was so clean that not a single rat was in sight. Xu is, Xu is that everyone is dead, or. Perhaps, the ship crashed into evil, and all the people on board died. “

Lu San, the deputy with a full rudder, had a look of fear on his face, and he was still terrified of what he saw on the wooden boat.

The helmsman set his eyes on the island, muttered for a long time, and couldn't make a decision. Obviously, the prey was already in front of him, but he felt that this trip was a bit dangerous and unpredictable, and it seemed that there was an inexplicable danger lurking in front of him.

It's an inexplicable feeling, it's purely an old pirate's intuition.

The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he is, the leader of the party who has been accustomed to seeing life and death for many years, and is no longer a young little pirate who drew a knife to meet each other when he first debuted, and more than 20 years of plundering his ship as his home has accumulated rich experience and keen sense.

He decided to go up to the stranded ship for himself and decide on the fate of the fleet.

A miserable cargo ship was at the helm's feet, and he was accustomed to seeing blood, and the broken wood chips, the upturned deck, and the deep holes on the ship had made him gasp.

It was not the damage caused by a shell or an explosion, but the marks of a huge object, and looking at the pits on the deck that were several meters long, the cabins, the masts and the sides of the ship that had been swept away by the great force, he couldn't help but think of a sea monster from an old pirate legend. Could it be?

Escape!

This is the instinct of an old pirate, here, very dangerous, non-human can resist. Inexplicably, he was frightened and panicked, and cold sweat flowed.

However, as the boss of the Shark Gang, the dignity of the superior does not allow him to back down easily. What's more, he led a huge pirate fleet, although there were some losses in personnel and weapons, but he still had nine ships, more than a dozen cannons, and more than 500 fierce men.

If he retreats because of his own speculation, how will he lead the group in the future?

He knew that his men were a bunch of unruly outlaws, and there was no one who did not have a few lives on his hands.

If he gave up the opportunity to make a fortune without a reasonable reason, it would be difficult to say whether anyone would covet the chair under his helmsman's ass.

Back on the ship, the helmsman gathered the leaders of his men, and more than two dozen men gathered on his flagship.

"That's the case, those two ships were probably attacked by unknown sea beasts, and the people and weapons on board were gone, so they should have gone to the island.

"On the island, there are a large number of red goods waiting for us to pick up, the little girl of the Fan family is also related to a big fortune, I found it, my shark gang is the only one on the sea, if you can't find it, all the benefits will fall into the hands of Jiao Long, and we will have to take a detour when we see Jiao Long in the future.

"This time, I will personally lead the team to the island, half of the men will guard the boat, and half of the men will go ashore. Which of you would like to go up with me? ”

The helmsman's speed of speech was not hurried or slow, his tone was neither salty nor light, and his sharp gaze swept over all his subordinates, but he had already made a plan in his heart.

His henchmen had to take with him two hundred Efield rifles he bought from a foreign firm, a few hundred*, which was a guarantee of his safety after going ashore.

As for the cannon fodder who came over from the South Seas, let them guard the ship. Leaving a few descendants to watch, nothing can happen.

It is not safe to stay on the ship, and it is not necessarily dangerous to go ashore, and the helmsman's subordinates have expressed their loyalty, and none of them have said that they will stay.

In the end, the helmsman took all his generals with him, picked nearly 300 people, released the boat into the water, and rowed mightily to the island that was about to sink into the twilight.

In the distance, on the surface of the sea, no one was paying attention, and a huge black shadow slowly sank into the deep water, bringing up a whirlpool.

The helmsman waited on the beach with a large group of people.

More than 300 elite pirates gave him the confidence to defend against unknown dangers. How many enemies, just a pirate ship, can there be?

Fan's family? A few guards, a dozen sailors, what can be accomplished?

It is estimated that the two of them are still playing hide-and-seek on the island.

As for what beasts are on the island, that's not what he's worried about, the newly bought weapons are brand new and shiny, and the appearance of beasts within a few hundred yards is a meal.

The only thing I was worried about was the sea monster that might appear, so I didn't have to worry about it anymore when I got ashore.

Legend has it that sea monsters can drag fishing boats and devour people alive, but this has never happened on the beach, that is, the ability to be in the water.

The helmsman made up his mind and didn't plan to get on the ship until he left the island after finishing his work. People are old, their courage is small, and heroes are no longer brave.

Think back then, a knife, a person, brave and unmatched, high-spirited, what kind of hero?

The current boss of the Shark Gang is just a caretaker, a cautious tiger, and he does not leave the nest easily, if it were not for the legendary fortune, he would not have come out of the nest.

Since then, he has continued to guard this family business and pass on the promising career of piracy.

What made him depressed was that although he had received more than a dozen beautiful women before and after, none of them had been passed down to him. The only pearl in the palm of his hand is also very wild, with an arrogant temperament, and none of the young men under his command look at him, and it is also a good thing to recruit a son-in-law.

Could it be that he did too much evil in his previous life, or did he do too much evil in this life, so that the Lu family wanted to die in his own generation?

The helmsman asked himself, in the pirate industry, he is still relatively well-behaved, and he never does anything, leaving three points of leeway.

The merchant ships that come and go, the goods of the merchants have always been at most 30%. As for the foreign devils, as long as they bump into them, they will not be polite. Kill, rob, sell, and not leave anyone with the slightest clue.

Thieves also have a way, they have rules for their own people, and there are no rules for outsiders, this is the rule of his helmsman.

The round moon slowly rose, and after the rain cleared the night, the sky was like a wash, and the sky was cloudless. The stars twinkle like gems embedded in crystals. The cool breeze of May blows slowly, with the familiar smell of the sea, which makes people feel comfortable.

The Sharks lined up on the beach, and more than a dozen bonfires lit up far and near. Years of thieves have kept them on high alert, especially in this strange place. The bright post and the secret sentry doubled their defenses, and the pirates who were guarding were all in their throats, and they lifted it tightly, not daring to relax at all.

But there is a trace of slackness, if the helmsman sees it, the help rules will not be spared.

Pirate camping has never been very particular, and a team of ten or twenty people will spread it on the ground from person to person, and spread hay and cotton cloth on the beach, which is the treatment of a small boss.

Ordinary minions, just pad some hay to make up for a night.

The helmsman lay comfortably by the fire in the middle, with an oilcloth on the floor, a tiger skin on it, and a goose down quilt on his body.

Luo Yasu surrounded the surroundings with a few personal guards, protecting him tightly and properly.

"Whoosh .....", the campsite is close to the swamp, the light of the pirate camping fire and the smell of cooking food attract uninvited guests, and the slight sound can be heard in the sand and grass by the sea.

"Click, .....", the sound became denser and more messy, gradually turning into a rumbling sound, as if the horses were galloping, the camp fell into a tense and dazed state of battle, and the pirates looked at each other inexplicably.

In the bright light of the fire, tens of meters away, the owners of the beach and the swamps, the natives of the fjord, showed their hideous faces.

Hundreds of giant python crocodiles surged, writhing bodies, rolling up dust, only a few hundred meters of the area only saw black shadows, in the night is a bit overwhelming.
