Chapter 229: The Viking Hunter
"Commander, look, that's the ship island of 'Blood Skeletons' and 'Battle Flags'!"
"Huh... Those two guys actually have their base camp here, what the hell are they going to do? ”
In addition to the warships that the large sea group looted, there was also the city of ship islands where they lived. Ship Island is a lair, and generally speaking, large pirate groups will hide their base camp in some remote and difficult to find sea areas to prevent being rounded up by the navy.
And in front of him, the city ship islands of the top two large pirate groups in the Black Sea actually appeared on an empty sea surface without concealment, which is a very abnormal phenomenon.
Gulev's eyes were full of doubts, and he muttered, "And... I remember that the two regiments of 'Blood Skull' and 'Battle Banner' weren't bitter enemies, how could they be united? They put the ship island here, not afraid of attracting the navy to encircle and suppress it? ”
He really didn't expect that the people of "Blood Skeleton" and "Battle Banner" would like someone to encircle and suppress them!
The two major pirate groups have joined forces, and even if they come to a reorganized fleet, they can swallow it. On weekdays, pirates would not do this kind of thing that is not profitable just by fighting. But now, in order to explore the "Nightmare Ghost", almost all of the warships of the two large pirate groups have been depleted... It is also becoming more and more difficult to rob the road, and it is simply impossible to make ends meet. If they can be given a chance to seize the ship now, even if it is the naval fleet of the World Governor's Government, maybe they will dare to go up and take a bite.
The view of the city ship island is much wider than that of the battleship, and when Raymond and the others found the two pirate ship islands, those pirates had already discovered the "Golden Predator".
It didn't take long for them to see six pirate-flagged warships encircling them. After all, the two major pirate groups of "Blood Skeleton" have the secret support of their gold masters, and their ships are first-class existences in the Black Sea regardless of their speed or equipment.
The "Golden Predator" that Raymond and the others are on is really going to fight a naval battle, and with one enemy and six enemies, they will definitely suffer.
This is the biggest reason why Colin said that they must have a top-notch sea ship in order to have a foothold in the Endless Sea, just to prepare for the situation in front of them.
If you really encounter the encirclement and suppression of the enemy's fleet, you can't beat it, at least you must be able to escape with the certainty of being able to escape.
"Woooooo
The battleship whistle roared, one long and one short, which was a warning to stop the ship.
"Yo... Brother Raymond, we are surrounded. ”
Golden Tooth Gulev has experienced a hundred battles, and when he saw that he was surrounded, he still looked indifferent, "Look at the flag, they told us to put away the artillery and follow them, probably to capture us directly..."
Long-range naval warfare is an absolute disadvantage for their own side, and landing street battles is their advantage.
"Okay, go ahead and have a look."
Raymond and the others originally came to find the bad luck of the "Blood Skull Pirates" this time, so they could get closer, so that they could capture the thief and capture the king first.
Hearing this,
Gulev shouted to the subordinates of the overrun battleship, "Raise the battle flag, collect the artillery... Follow them. ”
The pirates saw that Raymond's battleship really put away its guns, and they didn't plan to make a move, and the six pirate ships were like escorts, surrounding the "Golden Predator" not far away, and sailed together to the city ship island at the edge of the fog.
......
It didn't take long for the ship to get closer and closer.
Suddenly, Raymond sensed something, and frowned slightly, "No... The three 'Qi' on the island are too strong... Definitely not a Sequence 5 transcendent! ”
The ship was getting closer, and his perception was getting clearer. On the ship island of the Blood Skull, there are obviously three very powerful auraes.
"Everyone be careful, there are at least three Sequence 4 masters on the opposite ship island..."
Raymond said to the crowd around him. With Lulu and Ilya here, he is not so worried about safety, but more cautious.
Obviously, the transcendents of Sequence 4 are not from the Black Sea.
So why... The Nightmare Ghost will appear as a master from the Endless Sea, and it will be mixed with the two major pirates of the Black Sea?
"Sequence 4? What are we going to do now, are we ready to fight? ”
Hearing Raymond's warning, Gulev and the others also realized that the situation had changed, and they all looked serious.
Aside from Raymond and Lulu, no one on this ship has ever truly seen the power of a high-level sequence transcendent beyond Sequence 5!
There is no obvious suppression of the ranks between the transcendents below Sequence 5, but above Sequence 5, the gap between each rank is like a trench.
An ordinary Sequence 4 transcendent has an absolute advantage over the Transcendent in Sequence 5. Even if a person like Gulev has comprehended the mystery, the top sequence 5 of the whole body gold and heavy armor may not be able to support it for long.
"Don't worry, let's see what they want to do..."
Now they will be greeted by overwhelming artillery fire. Even if Raymond and a few of his strong people can dodge, the other ordinary crew members on the ship are very dangerous.
The enemy's position is unclear and should not be exposed in advance.
Raymond's eyes rolled, and an extremely cautious expression appeared on his face. He wasn't afraid of these three unknown Sequence 4 transcendents, but he was afraid that there were higher-level masters hidden on the ship island that he didn't perceive!
......
At the same time, three bearded men on the island were lazily basking in the sun, drinking with half-human-high wine barrels while enjoying a gluttonous meal. Beside him, there are also beautiful girls worshiped by pirates.
At the moment when Raymond sensed their existence, the strong man with the hooked nose should also be aware of it, and what he awakened was also the transcendent perception system, "Yo... There seems to be a sensory transcendent on that ship, and we've found it..."
The big fat man with a pigtail beard on his forehead held the wine barrel and poured it again, and said indifferently: "Tsk... It's better to find out, and it's honest when you're scared. Otherwise, they will be forced into the fog area, and they will definitely make trouble again, and the three of us will have to suppress it at that time. ”
"yes... If you really want to leave it to those weak chicken pirates to intercept, I'm afraid I'll have to smash the ship like last time. ”
In the end, the black-faced strong man smacked his lips and said, "Anyway... A place like the Black Sea is really barren enough, and the top pirates only have a bounty of tens of millions... Not even in the mood to let people earn bounties. If you look at the newspapers not long ago, a sequence 6 rookie has reached the top of the Black Sea bounty list, which is really boring. This kind of existence can only be an ordinary sailor with us..."
The strong man with the hooked nose also said with a bored face, "Hehe, just the two regiments we have captured the strong men are already the top pirate groups in the Black Sea." What kind of pirates do you expect from this sea area? ”
“...”
The three strong men chatted without a word.
At this time,
A golden-hooked one-eyed pirate hurriedly walked over, stood aside respectfully, and said urgently: "My lord, there is a tricky existence on the ship over there, and it may require your lordship..."
The strong man holding the barrel raised his eyebrows drunkenly, and snorted disdainfully: "Tricky? Did they resist? ”
"Not really, but..."
The Golden Hook Pirates explained tremblingly, "Those people on the ship seem to be 'Golden Fang' Gulev and 'Ghosts'... The one who was wanted not long ago..."
"Oh? Is it the 'Golden Tooth' on par with your weak chicken leader? Once one of the three great pirates of the Black Sea? ”
The barrel strong man interrupted him impatiently, and smiled contemptuously: "Hehe, only in the Black Sea, these weak chickens can be called masters." ”
“...”
Hearing this, the Golden Hook Pirate looked humiliated, but he didn't dare to squeak. These words not only mocked their captain, but also the transcendents of the entire Black Sea.
The black-faced strong man on the side also sneered and said, "It's good that a few people have a little strength to see, I hope they can explore a little deeper... If you really don't know the times and resist, I'll make them honest. Flag up and let them go straight in! ”
After a pause, he added, "You inform your regimental commander that a ship will be sent in for him soon, so that they can hurry up and explore, Lord Hawke is still waiting for news." If he can't explore more than ten nautical miles today, let him fill it with his own life! ”
"Yes, sir..."
The Golden Hook Pirate nodded resignedly.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that this Golden Hook Pirate is none other than the [Bloody Hand] Rogins, the deputy member of the Battle Flag Pirates. The top master of the dignified sequence 5 was called as a slave by the three strong men at the moment, but he didn't dare to complain at all.
......
"Golden Predator".
"Commander, they waved the flag, let us follow into the Fog Zone... What do we do now? ”
Hearing the report of his subordinates,
Gulev looked at Raymond on the side and asked, "Brother Raymond, what do you think we are going to do now?" ”
"Originally, we were going on a treasure hunt for the Nightmare Ghost... Since they let us in, let's go in first. Let's find out what they're up to..."
Raymond thought about it and made a decision.
The fight can be fought at any time, and there is no hurry at this time, and it is urgent to find out the reason.
Now that the two pirates of Blood Skull and Battle Banner are looking for things in the "Nightmare Ghost" with such fanfare, and there are also three high-level transcendents of Sequence 4, it is a little strange to look at things.
"Hmm."
Gulev nodded.
In this way, Raymond and the others did not show any resistance, and the tense atmosphere of the pirates on the island dissipated. Although Loggins was also very strange that the dignified "Golden Tooth" followed him into the fog so obediently, he didn't think much about it when he thought about those adults.
That's it
The Golden Predator followed the lead pirate ship in front of it towards the Fog Zone.
When passing by the hand of the ship, Raymond caught a glimpse of the appearance of the three strong men, and immediately recognized the identities of the three.
The Black Sea's first stop in the Endless Sea was the waters of Sogaben, and the three in front of them were the famous bounty hunters of that area. "Viking Hunters", [Elephant Robbing] Mondi, [Barrel] Gulagas, [Eagle Barbarian] Arik.
As Raymond looked at the three of them, the hook-nosed Aric also paid more attention to them.
Although he has not awakened to see and hear, he has a strong ability to perceive.
When he saw a few people on the boat, he always felt a very strange feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help muttering: "Huh... How do I feel that there are a few people on this ship who have a strange breath..."
"Hehe, no matter how weird it is, it's just a few low-level sequence transcendents, it's not worth mentioning."
The [wine barrel] Gulagas on the side shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Just now I let out a little breath, and those guys were so shocked that they didn't dare to speak, and obediently followed them to the fog area. With this kind of weak chicken, are you still worried about what kind of mess they can make? ”
After a pause, he added: "What's more, isn't the fourth still supervising the work inside?" ”
"That's right."
Aric raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders, not thinking about it again, "With the fourth child here, these guys can't stir up no matter how much they turn." ”
......
The fog area of the "Nightmare Ghost" is very restrictive to perception, and the sunlight cannot penetrate the fog all year round, and the field of vision is gray. Even the eyes of the transcendent can see through the fog a nautical mile or two, and the deeper you go, the lower the visibility.
Although the wind and waves are calm here, there is no reference point, and it is easy to lose the way of the ship that strays in.
Along the way, the Golden Predator followed the pirate ship into the fog.
"These pirates really know how to figure it out..."
Raymond looked at the glowing buoys on the surface of the sea and smiled. In the same way, players explored the periphery of the Misty Zone.
Anna looked at the compass and frowned: "The magnetic field has begun to mess up... We are now heading northwest, and after another twenty or thirty nautical miles, we should reach the reef marked on the map, and from there, we will be in the real danger zone..."
Ordinary compasses start to swing as soon as they enter the Misty Zone, and the Voyager's Legendary Equipment, [Endless Compass], in her hand comes in handy. No matter what the area, this compass will give them the right direction.
Paired with the map Raymond gave her, Anna could also keep track of where the ship was at all times.
Raymond was still a little uneasy, and admonished: "Anna, you should be more careful, and if the situation here is different from what is marked on the map, stop immediately." Even if it is empty, we must ensure that safety comes first. ”
"Got it, my dear captain."
Anna threw a amorous wink at Raymond, "You've said it five times since you entered the fog just now..."
"Oops... Uncle is really afraid of death..."
Ilya mended the knife faintly on the side.
As she spoke, she leaned on the fence and looked at the bottomless water, a layer of mist was wiped out in her crystal eyes, and she muttered like fine lines, "Huh... There seem to be a lot of big guys hiding in the sea..."
......
Not long after,
The Golden Predator followed the pirate ship to the reef in the depths of the mist.
It was like returning to the world from the netherworld, and the depressed feeling in everyone's hearts was also alleviated a lot.
Unlike the previous gray fog, this reef area resembles a small harbor. Dozens of pirate ships have been moored in the deep waters of the harbor, and large areas of makeshift steel-framed structures have been erected on the huge reef.
Towering fog-repelling searchlights illuminate the corner, and a group of pirates are busily carrying various expedition materials to the ship.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Gulev saw at a glance the two strong men who were busy commanding on the dock, and said coldly: "Yo, isn't that Olga of the 'Blood Skeleton' and Bloom, the commander of the 'Battle Banner'?" These two great masters would actually take risks and run to this hellish place to work..."
Even if he didn't figure out what was going on, just looking at what he was looking at, Raymond guessed that the two top pirate leaders in the Black Sea were coerced by someone to run this dangerous "nightmare ghost".
"Get ready to fight, there's only one Sequence 4 Transcendent here. Ilya, you protect the others on the ship, Lulu don't make a move first, Uncle Gulev and I can't beat it, you can shoot again..."
Raymond thought about it, but he still had to figure out what they were doing first. If you want to enter the nightmare ghost treasure hunt with peace of mind, it is best to deal with these aftermaths first.
Just now, dealing with three Sequence 4 transcendents might not be able to take care of everyone, but now there is only one, even if there is no risk.
"Got it."
The crowd answered.
