Chapter 147: Money or Life Matters

Xiang Hong followed behind a group of panicked sailors, and also walked towards the bow of the boat, he had seen a lot of robbers on the road, but this was the first time Xiang Hong had seen the robbers on the water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Walking to the bow of the boat, Xiang Hong squeezed through the crowd, looked into the distance on the sea, and saw that on the sea level in the distance, three black tortoiseshell boats were full of sails, chasing the building ship.

"It's a Red Flag pirate, it's bad......" said a sailor next to him, in a trembling voice.

Xiang Hong turned his head to look at the sailor and asked, "What is the origin of the Red Flag Pirates?" ”

The sailor's face was a little pale, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "These people were originally mercenaries of the Yun family, and for various reasons, they broke away from the Yun family's forces, caught sea beasts in the open sea, sold them to the Central Plains, and occasionally robbed passing merchant ships. ”

Xiang Hong nodded, understanding the origin of these pirates, he looked at the three tortoiseshell ships, the huge hull was almost the same as their building ship, but most of them were sunk into the water, only a flat lid floated above the sea, and the black top cover flashed with a dull luster, which looked extremely hard.

"Their tortoiseshell ship is used to catch sea beasts in the open sea, it is a giant puppet, powered by spirit crystals, our ship can't outrun them at all!" There was obvious desperation in the voice of the sailor on the side.

Xiang Hong was slightly startled, he didn't expect that this tortoiseshell ship was actually a giant puppet of the same level as the Silver Moon Giant Boat.

In the land of Tiannan, the Seven Star Sect with deep roots only has ten Silver Moon Giant Ships, and the group of pirates in front of them actually has three tortoiseshell ships, which is really rich.

Xiang Hong opened his mouth and asked, "Aren't there several monks guarding this ship?" ”

The man on the side sneered, and said helplessly: "Those monks are just putting on a show to coax you to rest assured, and when you encounter these robbers who kill people without blinking, I am afraid that they will not dare to let go of a fart!" ”

Xiang Hong frowned, he didn't know what the strength of these pirates was, and he didn't want to act rashly, after all, this boundless sea is no better than land, and he can't run away if he can't beat it on land, and he can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest at sea, if he flies in the wrong direction, it will be completely over.

Seeing that the three tortoiseshell ships were getting closer and closer, it looked like they would catch up in a few moments.

Xiang Hong quietly withdrew from the crowd, returned to the cabin, and hurried to Xiao Ni's room, Xiao Ni was dizzy and dizzy, and was lying on the bed resting, when he saw Xiang Hong suddenly come in, he was startled.

Xiang Hong quickly walked to Xiao Ni's side, stuffed the ground effect camouflage into her hand, and said: "This ship is targeted by pirates, you put on this magic weapon and hide in the corner, except for me to call you, don't be discovered by anyone." ”

"Pirate ——!" Xiao Ni's face was stunned, and then she cried and said, "Sure enough, I knew that I would definitely not encounter anything good with you!" ”

Xiang Hong shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's too late to regret it now, this place is close to the coastline of Zhanzhou, I estimate that those pirates will not stay on the ship for long, most of them will retreat after sweeping once, as long as they are not discovered, it should not be a big problem." ”

"Bang ——!"

Just as Xiang Hong was speaking, a dull crashing sound came from the side of the ship, and Xiang Hong and Xiao Ni suddenly felt the entire hull shake violently a few times.

"It looks like the pirates have boarded the ship." Xiang Hong walked out of the door, and said as he walked: "I'll go out and have a look, you can hide by yourself!" ”

Then Xiang Hong strode out of the door and left Xiao Ni, who was crying with a sad face, in the house.

Before he got out of the cabin, Xiang Hong had already heard the noisy shouts and heavy crashing sound outside, and when he walked to the deck, he found that the six or seven monks who were on the ship on weekdays were lying on the deck with their backs facing the sky, motionless, not knowing whether they were dead or alive, and the rest of the people were kneeling there in silence, and they didn't dare to come out.

Behind them, there stood a row of strong men of different colors, some of the clothes they wore were sewn from sea animal skins, and some seemed to be woven from tortoise shells and shells, which could be said to be strange, but at a glance, these people were open and exposed, and their hands were holding bright swords, which looked murderous.

Xiang Hong stood quietly in the shadow by the hatch, observing the situation in the field, those monks who accompanied the ship were all cultivators of the fifth or sixth order of Qi Condensation, these pirates were estimated to be similar to them, but these were just minions, and the leader should be a cultivator at or above the foundation building level.

Xiang Hong's current cultivation in his body was suppressed by the Moon Yin Pill Toxin in the early stage of foundation building, and in the previous battle with Li Mian, the nerve shocker, the Void Spirit Needle and the Ziyang Bracelet were all destroyed, and the Heavenly Fire in his body could not be used, which can be said to be a great reduction in strength.

So he didn't want to clash with these pirates unless he had to.

At this moment, a huge tortoiseshell ship was clinging to the side of the ship, and several iron claws were used to close the two ships together, and pirates were constantly rushing up the ship along the rope.

When the pirates got aboard, they drove the sailors and passengers on deck to the aft platform, and then sent half of them into the cabin to search for them, and drove the passengers in the cabin to the stern.

Xiang Hong stood in the crowd at the stern of the ship, silently watching the pirates drive the waves of passengers out of the cabin, until the end, he didn't see Xiao Ni's figure, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Xiao Ni was not involved, even if he wanted to do it for a while, he didn't have any worries.

Soon after, the whole ship was driven to the aft platform, and hundreds of people were bustling together, and fear, confusion, and uneasiness began to brew in the crowd, infecting each other, and some of the faint-hearted people had begun to sob.

Xiang Hong observed that there were already more than 20 pirates on the ship, and the other two tortoiseshell ships did not come up, but had been walking together on the side, both as escorts and supporters.

It seems that these pirates are very methodical when they act, and they are not ordinary stragglers.

Three tortoiseshell ships, the number of pirates should be about a hundred, in this small space on the ship, it is difficult to annihilate them all in one fell swoop, Xiang Hong shook his head and gave up his plan to do it.

At this moment, on the deck of the tortoiseshell ship on the side, an extremely burly strong man appeared, this person was two meters tall, wearing a piece of crimson sea animal skin, a fluffy messy hair was randomly supported around the head, the leopard's head was ringed with eyes, and his eyes were wide open, and the whole person stood there, like an angry lion, with an amazing momentum.

There was also an egg-sized blue pearl hanging on the giant man's chest, exuding a faint halo, and at first glance it was not ordinary.

The giant man walked up to the boat in two or three steps, came to the back of the deck, looked at the crowded passengers, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a very loud voice: "Don't be afraid! We're just asking for money, and as long as you cooperate, we promise that we won't hurt anyone's lives, but if someone thinks money is more important than life, then we don't mind giving him a ride! ”

Xiang Hong listened to the words of this giant man, and sighed secretly, fortunately Xiao Ni was not arrested by them, otherwise with her character, it is really difficult to say which is more important, money or life.

Xiang Hong was thinking about it, when suddenly a noisy shout came from the cabin, and after a while, he saw a pirate with five big and three thick pirates carrying Xiao Ni out of the cabin like a chicken, and threw it into the crowd with a wave of his hand.

After that, the pirate turned to the giant man and said, "Captain, just now I was searching the cabin from house to house, and this crazy woman suddenly rushed out, probably because the previous search was not careful enough and was missed. ”

"That's my money! ……”

Xiao Ni struggled and wanted to say something more, but suddenly someone covered her mouth and dragged her into the crowd.

She turned around to look over, Xiang Hong was looking helplessly on the side, and when the two looked at each other, Xiang Hong sighed and said, "I don't know if you are the first shopkeeper in the Central Plains, but you are definitely qualified as the first miser in the Central Plains!" ”
