Chapter 638: Retreat from the Enemy and Mysterious Goods
Chapter 668
The Sect of Equilibrium has three giants, Twilight Eyes, Berserk Heart, and Shadow Fist.
The previous Twilight Eye is the master of bitterness, and the successor is his son, Shen. Berserk Heart, named Kenan, is a yodeler who has lived for thousands of years. It is said to have witnessed various ancient battles in Ionia. The youngest is the Shadow Fist.
This one's Shadow Fist is named Akali. As a young woman, in the face of the Noxian invasion, she could not stand the inaction of the entire Equilibrium Sect. Broke away from the Sect of Equilibrium and became a freelance assassin. Her code name has also changed from Shadow Fist to Outlier Thorn.
Leaving the Sect of Equilibrium, the first thing Akali did was to hunt down Ember. She believes that this is a mistake of the Equilibrium Sect, and if she can redeem it, it will prove that she did it right.
It's just that she never dreamed that on this merchant ship, she would actually meet two people from the Balanced Sect. Although she doesn't know each other physically, she is the ultimate in the skill of the Shadow Fist. At a glance, it can be seen that the tricks of those two people are balanced sects.
She was surprised. The two people on the other side were desperate. They want to fight to the death. But in the face of Akali, who inherited the name of the Shadow Fist, desperately trying is just self-inflicted humiliation.
"We surrender, we surrender." After hesitating for a few seconds, the two traitors decisively chose to surrender. No way, Shadow Fists is different from the rest of the Balanced Sect, she's the kind that kills people without blinking. And now it has broken away from the Equilibrium sect and has become an independent killer. This means that she is more dangerous than before.
Akali was stunned for a moment, but the movement of her hands did not stop. directly removed the joints of the two, and then dragged the two moles to the deck.
"Hey, I spotted these two guys sneaking up on their way to the power compartment. Does anyone know them? ”
Akali said to a group of armed guards around her. The leader of the guards, who had been arranging the defenses before, frowned.
"It's the ship's cook. Newly recruited in Ionia. "He looks like a very serious guard. The personnel changes of the entire ship are all kept in mind.
The leader of the guard glanced at Akali next to him. This seemingly thin little girl, who can subdue two latent moles, is obviously not an ordinary person. He thought for a moment, then said.
"Hang these two guys. Let those pirates see it. ”
The leader's idea was to let the other party know that his plan was shattered, so he took the initiative to retreat. But it doesn't seem to be working as expected.
When the pirates saw the two moles being hung up, they rioted for a while. But in the end, he did not retreat, but continued to follow the merchant ships, seemingly wanting to come hard.
At this time, Su Yuan also became interested. He looked back at the leader of the guards.
"What's on board?" The leader suddenly tensed. Looking at Su Yuan's face, changed slightly. But then he remembered something. didn't answer Su Yuan's question, but hurriedly ran into the cabin, looking like he was going to find an employer.
"The pirates are ready to come hard. There is only one possibility, and that is that the value of the cargo on board is extremely high and it is worth the risk. Or maybe they have something they want to achieve. Either way, the result is the same. ”
Su Yuan's eyes scanned the entire ship. These days, his mental power is slowly recovering. This kind of scanning is already a breeze. But the magic of this world is really a bit developed.
A lot of the cargo on the ship actually has some means to prevent prying eyes. Either some kind of box to isolate detection, or a magic spell that prevents prying eyes. It seems that this ship does have a large amount of expensive cargo.
Su Yuan swept through the boxes one by one, and one of them caught his attention. It was a chest made of silver metal. It doesn't look very special. Like any other chest, it prevents prying eyes. But Su Yuan noticed that there were some tiny holes on the top of the box.
Most of the cargo on board is expensive. Those boxes are also tightly fitted. There is not the slightest possibility of peeping. But this box, with holes in it. This means that the blockade magic on this is actually much higher than the rest of the goods. Otherwise, Su Yuan's divine sense would not even be able to penetrate those holes.
Su Yuan had a guess in his heart. But that's something you need to verify for yourself.
Suddenly, the shots rang out. That's when the pirates went on the offensive. As soon as they opened fire, they showed an unexpectedly powerful firepower. Various high-fire rifles, a volley. Instantly suppressed the ship's escort.
Immediately afterward, more than a dozen hook locks shot out, hooking the ship's guardrail. The pirates wanted to force their way aboard the ship.
It is impossible for a normal person to do this, not even in a highly trained navy. But there is a kind of person who can do it.
Akali watched the skillful movements of those people, and became more certain. It was the people of the Equilibrium sect who came. It's just that she couldn't understand why the Equilibrium Sect would become pirates. Of course, there is also a possibility that these people are members of the Shadow Stream Sect. But although she doesn't like Zai, she knows that Zai is a very proud person. The Shadow Stream Sect never hides things.
A large number of smoke grenades were projected onto the deck. The guards' vision was greatly disturbed. No one dared to cut those hooks. Under the cover of smoke, more than a dozen vigorous figures were rapidly approaching.
The guards shot blindly from memory, and stray bullets hit several pirates. But there are still quite a few people who have approached the merchant ships.
"Is there anyone who can clean up this smoke?" The leader shouted impatiently. He clearly had no experience fighting ninjas of the Equilibrium Sect. The style of the other party is not at all pirates, or even military. This made his defense precarious in an instant.
More hook locks hooked the hull with the help of smoke, and the ninja at the front had already touched the railing. At this time, Su Yuan said softly.
"Yasuo, it's your turn."
The wind rose suddenly, and a violent tornado swept the smoke on the deck, along with the approaching ninjas, into the sky.
The gunfire stopped, and a kind of guard looked at the 'pirate' who fell from the sky into the sea like a dumpling. For a while, no one spoke.
And the leader who commanded the battle, looking at Su Yuan's and the two of them, became a little strange. But in any case, Yasuo's tornado directly relieved the siege of the merchant ships. At this time, the leader did not have much to say.
Seeing this, the pirates not far away finally stopped the pursuit. Start rescuing the ninja who has fallen overboard. Akali walked over to the two moles who had been hanged, ready to interrogate them both.
Su Yuan was not interested. He was able to guess about something. But what he's most interested in right now is that particular chest.
"Thank you very much for your help, both of you. My employer asked me to invite you to dinner as a token of appreciation. ”
The leader of the guards stepped forward and thanked Su Yuan and the others.
"Dinner doesn't have to be. But because we saved your lives. It's always okay to satisfy a little curiosity. Can you show me what is in the silver box in the fourth row of the warehouse? ”
The leader's face changed on the spot.
