Chapter 9: The Power of the Hunt Turns the Tide

"Ahh Xu Mo let out a low roar, touched the fangs of the blood clan and held it in his mouth, turned around and snatched the short-barreled musket in the hand of an alternate officer beside him, and then picked up a one-handed axe on the deck, and threw himself towards the rope ladder of the main mast, using both hands and feet, and quickly climbed up the first crossbar of the mast.

Then Xu Mo raised his short axe, cut off a thick cable tied to the mast, grabbed the cable with one hand, kicked the mast with both feet, and swung towards the armed merchant ship like a swing.

At this time, the distance between the two ships was almost twenty meters, and the sailors on the opposite side had pushed five 8-pounder guns to the right side of the ship, and were pulling the gun door and aiming at the potted mainmast on the Vistellos, of course.

Xu Mo grabbed the cable, feeling that he had reached the limit of the cable, so he let go of the cable, and pounced on the opposite merchant ship like a big bird from mid-air, the person was still in the air, and as soon as his left hand was stretched, the short-barreled musket had already fired.

You must know that there were only about twenty meters between the two boats, and Xu Mo had already swung more than half of the distance with the help of the cable. At this time, the gun that had been adjusted first and had been aimed at the main mast was only five or six meters away from him, and firing at such a short distance, even if Xu Mo was not familiar with shooting, it would not hinder his hit rate.

"Bang!" One of the gunners on the opposite side covered his heart, flipped out of the side of the ship, and fell into the sea. There are basically two or three people next to the five 8-pounder guns, and next to the cannon that Xu Mo is attacking now are two gunners, although one of them has fallen into the sea, but the other person gritted his teeth and ignored Xu Mo who was rushing in the air, and stretched out his hand to the fire rope.

Xu Mo threw away the musket that was already empty, waved his left hand, and the short axe in his hand flew out of his hand, "Poof! With a thud, he slashed into the sailor's face, and the sailor's movements came to an abrupt halt, and he stiffened and fell to the sky.

There are also four doors, and Xu Mo's eyes flashed in mid-air. By this time, he had already begun to fall, and was less than two meters away from the side of the armed merchant ship. Xu Mo touched his left hand, took something from his waist, and shook it towards the side of the ship in front of him, "Duh!" "The front part of this item has been deeply embedded in the side of the ship, and it is like a human hand grasping the side of the ship, which is Xu Mo's Wind Demon Chain Hook.

"Whew!" Xu Mo gritted his teeth, pulled his left hand violently, kicked on the hull of the armed merchant ship, and used his strength to climb onto the side of the ship.

"Hooray!" Seeing that his stormtrooper captain was such a "man", a strong shout erupted from the Vestelos behind Xu Mo. Although the Vestelos is still in danger, the morale of the sailors has recovered from the initial slump.

"Bang bang bang!" Xu Mo saw several sailors nearby who rushed towards him fall to the ground, and it was the musketeers of the Vistelos who were shooting to support him. By this time, however, the other four 8-pounder guns had also been aimed.

Xu Mo's eyes were red, he had already launched his innate ability "Violence", his left hand shook, and the Wind Demon Chain Hook shot at an 8-pounder cannon on the left side, capturing the muzzle. With a mistake at his feet, the "Shadow Step" was launched, and Xu Mo's figure brought up a trace of afterimage, and pounced on another 8-pounder gun on the right.

"Boom!" The 8-pounder cannon on the left side was hooked by the Stormdemon chain, and the muzzle of the cannon was suddenly crooked, and the shell fired grazed the main mast of the Vestelos, and passed over the hull, and I don't know where it went.

Feeling the huge pulling force from his left hand, Xu Mo let go of the Wind Demon Chain Hook and slid to the side of the cannon on the right. At this time, the gunner of this cannon looked at Xu Mo's approach, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and he pulled the cannon rope in his hand suddenly......

The hammer of the "snap" cannon was jammed, the gunner's grin froze on his face, and a bloody palm struck by the cannon hammer blocked between the hammer flint and the anvil. Blood gushed out from the palms of his hands, flowing like a cascade into the fire holes of the cannon, but no spark could ignite the gunpowder in the chamber.

The gunner roared wildly, pulled out the small axe on his waist and slashed at Xu Mo, who was less than a foot away from him, and the two could almost hear each other's heavy breathing. The muscles on Xu Mo's face were twisted by the sharp pain in his palm, the green tendons on the back of his right hand were erect~, and the fangs of the blood clan drew a pitch-black arc of light, which swept through the gunner's throat.

The gunner only felt a chill in his throat, the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, a blood line on his throat slowly expanded, his head leaned back, and the blood line gradually turned into a wide mouth of blood, and the blood sprayed on Xu Mo's face like a faucet that had opened the floodgates, making his already distorted and deformed face look even more terrifying.

Since his left palm was stuck on the cannon, Xu Mo could only use this cannon as the center of the circle, wielding the fangs of the Blood Clan to fight with the other two gunners. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the last two 8-pounder guns.

"Bang, bang!" Hedram was condescending on the aft deck, firing his bow from side to side with a musket in one hand, accurately knocking the two gunners of an 8-pounder gun to the ground.

"Boom!" The last 8-pounder cannon finally succeeded in firing, and at this moment, the hearts of all the people on both ships beat violently with the sound of the cannon, and then it seemed as if they were clenched tightly by a large hand, and even breathing seemed to stop.

The flow of time also seemed to slow down suddenly, and the cannonball instantly crossed the distance of tens of meters between the two ships and rushed towards the main mast of the Vistellos, and everyone's movements seemed to stop, and their minds seemed to follow the cannonball.

No, not everyone, at least two people didn't give up, "Whew! Gerhardt's fair face turned red instantly, and at the moment when the cannon fired, the sword pierced into a huge sandbag at his feet, and his wrist flipped violently, and the sandbag was picked up by him and blocked between the cannon's muzzle and the main mast.

The shell hit the sandbag, and everyone seemed to see the burlap fibers on the surface of the sandbag broken. The black shells pierced into the sandbags, and the fine sand in the sandbags slid along the sides of the round shells, and the sand began to emit a trace of white smoke due to the heat and rapid friction. Eventually, the shell passed through all the sand, and the burlap fibers on the other side of the sandbag were also unable to stop the huge kinetic energy of the shell. The shell pierced the sandbag and continued its final journey, still destined for the Vestelos' mainmast.

At this time, a strong man appeared in front of the main mast, holding a small tortoiseshell shield, leaning down and stopping in front of the cannonball. The cannonball slammed into the tortoiseshell shield. Ahan spurted a mouthful of blood, staining his front placket red, and slammed his back into the mainmast, causing the already crumbling mainmast to shake again, but it didn't break!!

The shell of the 8-pounder gun finally lost its kinetic energy, fell on the deck of the Vestelos, bounced and fell into the sea along the breach in the side of the ship, and at the same time made the mood of everyone on the armed merchant ship fall into the abyss.

"There are two more cannons, fire quickly!" Ben Rambo Theane, captain of an armed merchant ship, roared.

Of the original five cannons, two of them had already been fired, and there was one more, where Xu Mo's palm was stuck. But the other two were intact, these two were only killed by Xu Mo and Hedram, and as long as there were gunners, they could still continue to fire.

In addition to the gunner who took out one cannon first in mid-air, the other four guns, from Xu Mo throwing a hook, sliding step, pulling a crooked cannon, and blocking the other cannon with a hammer stuck in his palm, to the last cannon launch, in fact, the whole process was not even five seconds. Hedram wields two spears and fires his bow left and right, Gerhardt picks up sandbags with his sword, and Ahan holds a shield to protect his mast, all in less than five seconds.

At this time, it was only less than 10 seconds before Xu Mo boarded the armed merchant ship, and under the captain's roar, the sailors on the deck of the armed merchant ship woke up like a dream and rushed forward.

However, the best time has been lost, "Bang bang!" On the other side, Hedram had already taken the musket handed by his sailors again and began a magnificent burst.

A sailor who grabbed the cannon was about to reach for the cannon rope when a long black whip struck him in the void. The sailor only felt as if a knife was stirring in his head, and he immediately rolled to the ground, holding his head and screaming, it was Dinah's "spiritual whipping".

One of the sailors next to the other cannon finally pounced on the cannon after several of his companions were knocked down by the other side, but he didn't have time to show a surprised expression. A dark shadow passed above his body, and there was a gust of wind in his ears, and then his throat was cold, and he lost all his strength, clutching his throat and slumping to the ground.

The sailor, who had not yet breathed on the ground, saw only a pair of tall red women's leather boots beside him, and then fell into boundless darkness. Selena, who was hot, was dozens of seconds behind Xu Mo, and finally stepped on the deck of the armed sailing ship with a few agile sailors on the Vestelos for the second time.

They were dozens of seconds slower than Xu Mo, there were many reasons, the biggest reason was that they needed to find a long cable that could reach the side of an armed sailboat, and they didn't have Xu Mo's Wind Demon Chain Hook.

"Fire!" Charlie covered his wounded right shoulder and yelled at the sailors in the gun bay. When he was attacked by an armed merchant ship, Charlie was in the gun hold, and he was injured a lot by the shelling of the armed merchant ship just now, and it took a while to recover.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The Cannons of the Vistelos finally let out their own roar after surviving the first round of shelling. The hull of the armed galleon on the opposite side suddenly had more than a dozen large holes, and they were even bigger than the holes on the Vistellos, because the armed galleon was not as solid as the battleship after all, and the second gun deck on the opposite side was also a mess.

Although the Vistelos also had only one chance to shell, it was different from the first shelling by the armed sailing ship. Because the armed sailing ships had to hit the mainmast and destroy the hull as much as possible, they loaded it with solid bullets to destroy the hull. However, the shelling of the Vistelos was mainly aimed at killing and wounding the sailors of the armed sailing ship, who were loaded with shotguns.

After the shrapnel broke through the hull of the armed merchant ship, the steel balls inside swept through the cabin of this layer like a storm, sweeping down all the upright objects inside, and some of the sailors closest to the explosion point were blasted like sieves.

By this time, the sailors of the Vistelos had already thrown out the hooks used for broadside battles, desperately pulling the armed merchant ship closer, which already had a deep draft, and the ship's side was shorter than that of the Vistelos, so that they could jump on board and support their companions who had already boarded the ship to fight to the death.

"Pull, pull hard!" Hedlam's handsome face also showed a hint of hideousness, and he suddenly felt anxious as he watched the several sailors who had already boarded the ship on the opposite side fall one by one under the siege of each other.

"Bang, click!" The two ships finally came together, and the sound of wood rubbing against each other could be heard in the hull.

"Hooray!" The Vestelos erupted in earth-shattering cheers......
