Chapter 34: The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows
The pirates looked greedily at the Mithril Mine on the rockbed.
"If this Mithril Mine can be dug up, it will definitely sell for more money than the cargo of that merchant ship, this is really a surprise!"
"Yes, let's go back and report to the boss..."
"Report what!? The more people who know, the more people who share, and we will eat it ourselves! ”
In this way, in front of Ji Chen, this group of pirates staged a good show of how to hide the boss and how to share the spoils in private.
made him sigh for a while.
This group of pirates has a really bad conscience.
If he were a pirate leader, he wouldn't have to be by these men.
After the initial distribution of the spoils, perhaps because most of their attention was attracted by the shiny Mithril Mine, they did not find the devil frog hiding in the water.
Immediately shallow water approached Mithril, causing ripples on the surface of the water.
The devil frog, which was aware of the fluctuations in the current, quietly opened its eyes.
The belly, which took up half of the body, suddenly bulged, and the mouth opened, and a stream of acid like an arrow shot out, hitting the unsuspecting pirate in half a breath.
The pirate was caught off guard, the acid was stained on the bare skin, and the corrosive sound of "Zizi" suddenly sounded, and the strong acid instantly eroded the skin, and even corroded a large piece of flesh.
"Ah!!h
"There are monsters in the water!"
There was a rush of chickens and dogs, and by the time the pirate had run out of the shallow water, there were already four mangled corpses floating in the shallow water.
These are unlucky eggs who have been corroded to the point by acid all at once.
Seeing this, Ji Chen smiled slightly.
Really.
This group of pirates, who are so greedy that they even go through dangerous seas for the sake of a merchant ship, must not be able to take their eyes off the rare resource of Mithril and lose their vigilance.
Even he had to rely on the map to spot the hidden devil frogs, not to mention the pirates.
The pirates who returned to shore regrouped and finally learned to be smart, standing far away from a safe distance and shooting with their crossbows.
One by one, the bolts pierced through the air, killing four or five at once.
Seeing his companions die one by one, the remaining devil frogs' eyes widened, and their hind limbs tensed and jumped suddenly.
Arc through the air and land in the pirate horde.
Seeing this, the pirates also discarded their crossbows, drew their scimitars and slashed them.
With the advantage of numbers, they killed six or seven at once, but suddenly, several pirates who were very excited to cut stiffened and fell straight down.
If you look closely, your lips have turned purple.
"These toads are poisonous!"
The pirates retreated in panic.
After a scramble of counterattacks, the devil frogs all fell to the ground on their stomachs.
But there were less than thirty pirates standing.
"Finally killed these disgusting toads, killing so many of our brothers." As if venting his anger, one of the pirates stabbed the body of the devil frog several times.
"But it's not bad that there are a dozen people less to share the money." The other pirates were happy.
Ji Chen, who had finished watching the whole process, sneered, and had no patience to continue watching.
The pirate mission is complete, and it's time for him to appear.
"Alice."
A beautiful song sounded and echoed in the forest.
The pirate, who had just finished the battle and was immersed in the dream of making a fortune, entered a state of distraction.
The Naga warrior roared in rage, brandished his hideous bone blade and rushed out, slashing wildly, and flying into the sky with severed limbs.
A few minutes later.
"Ding~ The battle is over. You have achieved a glorious victory..."
"You have gained 700 XP and your current experience is Level 4 [68%/100%]."
"Naga Warrior has leveled up (2→3) and has a current experience level of 3 [2%/100%]."
Looking at the corpses of pirates on the ground, he felt no waves in his heart.
Help him deal with these devil frogs covered in poison, and these pirates can be regarded as deserving of death.
Take control of the Mithril Mine.
Let the Naga warriors clean up the battlefield, Ji Chen's thoughts gradually became active.
Previously, his idea was to seize the merchant ship Baisha Princess.
But now I learned that the pirates had arrived, and that they had heard that the pirate ship was now moored in the offshore sea, and that it sounded like it was due to a storm, and that it was under repair, just like the merchant ships.
These new discoveries changed his mind.
Capture that pirate ship, seems like a better option?
If he still felt a little unbearable and guilty about robbing Raymond's merchant ships, then he didn't have any burden in his heart when he robbed the pirates' ships, and even had a feeling of justice.
In addition, the prosperity of the player's territory is inevitably inseparable from the aborigines who have worked in this world for a long time.
Behind Raymond is a Chamber of Commerce, and if you build a relationship with him, you may be able to use the power of the Chamber of Commerce to build a regular route between the mainland and his territory.
Sea routes were used to connect this isolated island with the mainland and other islands.
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.
On the ocean, the road is the sea route.
To build roads is to build one route after another.
With a steady stream of merchant ships, it is possible to bring what is needed for the development of the territory.
For example, the population, for example, some of the resources that are lacking on this archipelago.
Wanting to capture Raymond's merchant ship was just a helpless move.
Good!
Now I have decided not to rob merchant ships, but to rob pirates' ships!
Today, he will do justice and let those pirates taste what it is like to be robbed!
The first thing to do, though, is to confirm the location of that pirate ship.
After cleaning up the battlefield, they groped their way in the direction the pirates had come from.
After several kilometers to the west in the jungle, they reached the other side of the main island.
Suddenly there was a boundless sea in front of me.
The two oars-boats were parked on the beach not far away, which should be the vehicles used by the pirates to land just now, and judging by the capacity of the boats, it seems that only the forty pirates were sent ashore.
Ji Chen looked at the sea in the distance, a black pirate ship was moored on the sea, and some pirates were repairing the slightly damaged hull.
Unlike a merchant ship with only two masts, this pirate ship was a three-horse ship, two behind and one in front.
More sails mean more power, more combat, and the bow of the ship has a metal-clad ramming angle, which interprets the aesthetics of violence.
The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became, and he already regarded this pirate ship as his own.
Without further ado, late will change.
If you see that none of the pirates sent to the island have returned, then the pirates on the pirate ship must have noticed something.
So he decided to act tonight, taking advantage of the cover of night, to take advantage of the cover of night to get this powerful pirate ship into his pocket as soon as possible.
So that he can do the next thing with peace of mind.
As soon as he thought of this, Ji Chen waved his hand.
Take Alice and the Naga warriors back the same way and come to the tidal flats of the bass fishing grounds.
Raymond and the others kept their promises, did not leave the mudflats for half a step, and remained honestly and did not move.
Seeing this, he was also relieved to recall the fish people lurking in the dark.
Tonight's battle for the ship requires him to use his entire army to participate.
