From the moment the sand pirate ship appeared.

The battle officially began.

What followed was a deflection of the scales of victory at an unbelievable speed.

The Sand Pirates thought that Pelotte would destroy the Channeller's Source Crystal Cannon first, so they approached in stealth, hoping to take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Luminaire and inflict massive damage on the crew on deck.

However, the Monsters and Raid Squads, which have been turned into minced meat, prove that the plan is completely bankrupt.

Regardless of the frontal battlefield.

Pelote, as the executor of the plan, is also not having a good time now.

Bang~Bang~

The two captains fell to the ground and were completely silent.

Yan Jing stood with his hands tied, blood dripping from his fists that fell to his side.

Turning his head to look at Pelot, who was surrounded by shadows and pinched the neck of the remaining captain.

The team that was watching and preparing to kill Pelotte was wiped out.

Throwing away the corpse in his hand, Pelote looked at Yan Jing with surprise in her eyes.

He thought that Yan Jing, who had escaped death, was coming back to take revenge on him, and was even ready to fight in the stern of the ship.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jing didn't even say hello and directly attacked the crew of the Xunguang.

Pelote was able to be assigned to carry out the invasion mission alone, and his combat effectiveness was naturally not bad, and the two joined forces to easily kill these people.

"I can't escape from the sand sea alone, and the Light Follower can't tolerate me, so I can only follow your path."

Picking up the corpse on the ground and throwing it into the sea of sand, Yan Jing walked towards Pelote and continued,

"As things stand, the people on the Celestial have discovered your plan, and your raid has not only failed, but is in crisis, so I want to know ......"

Before the words fell, seeing Yan Jing, who was about the same distance, he rushed forward, and Pelote was obviously prepared, his hands stretched forward and clenched weakly, and the shadow on his side suddenly turned into thorns and went straight to the vital part of Yan Jing's body.

It's just that this time it didn't go as smoothly as before.

The shadow-condensed thorns were forcibly stopped halfway by a translucent barrier with blood streaks, and the [Broken Shield] of the blood robe had an extremely strong defense against this kind of attack, which also gave Yan Jing the opportunity to fight at close range.

Pelote wanted to resist, but his supernatural abilities were obviously more inclined to assassination or covert operations, otherwise he would not have received the task.

In terms of hand-to-hand combat alone, Pelote was not Yan Jing's opponent at all, and as soon as he was about to raise his hand to counterattack, there was a sharp pain in his left leg and knee, and his body couldn't help but stagger, and when he raised his eyes again, Yan Jing was already bullying him.

smashed his fist on Pelote's chest, his left hand reached out into a claw, directly grabbed his neck and pressed it on the side of the boat, and asked in a cold voice,

"If you fail to complete the task and put them in danger, can you still be accepted by them?"

Hearing this, Pelot's expression froze, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the sand pirate ship.

At this moment, the two sides shelled again, and the Xunguang and the sand pirate ship hit each other.

The former's hull was significantly stronger, and the shelling was more powerful, and the damage on both sides was not at all in the same class.

What's more, the Xunguang didn't intend to defend at all, but quickly turned its bow and approached the sand pirate ship, actually wanting to take the initiative to launch the bloodiest broadside battle, obviously not planning to let the sand pirate ship go.

Yan Jing knew that this was an order given by Rosser for the ritual, but putting down Pelote saw it as the beginning of the sand pirate ship's downfall.

As the initiator of all this, it is needless to say what Pelot, who has failed in his mission, will face when he returns to his ship.

"I know the location of the lifeboat and the treasure trove on the sand pirate ship, and I know where the nearest floating merchant town is, and it will be good for both of us to leave my life behind!"

Pelote was a smart man, and he couldn't even think about why Yan Jing was able to escape death now, and said in a deep voice.

In his opinion, Yan Jing left his life because he wanted to escape from this naval battle.

That being the case, the two have common interests.

The defeat of the sand pirate ship, which has lost the advantage of sneak attack, is decided, and he naturally has to think about his own future.

"Before I go to the Sand Pirates, I have to confirm one thing before I can continue to work with you."

Tightening the palm of the hand that was clamping Pelote's neck, Yan Jing then asked,

"Is your supernatural ability only capable of controlling the actions of ordinary people, or can they even control their thoughts?"

"It depends on the extent of the Shadowsilk's invasion, if the invasion is complete, I can control the target's mind and make him completely obey my orders, just like the soldier who brought us out of prison before."

Pelote didn't understand why Yan Jing wanted to mention this at such a time, but the suffocation in his neck still made him dare not hide it.

"How many people can be controlled at one time?"

Yan Jing pursed his lips and asked after a short thought.

"It depends on the intensity of control, if it is depth control, it can only work for one person at a time, if it is just a simple control action, three to five people."

"Can you maintain your ability for a long time, even if you don't?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Forget it, take a gamble."

Yan Jing looked at Pelote, suddenly let go of his hand, and patted him on the shoulder instead,

"How about doing me a favor?"

"Of course, whoever you want to control, just give me some time......"

Pelote, who thought that he had finally passed the test, was relieved and got up to show his sincerity.

Halfway through his words, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

From the Light Follower to the Sea of Sand, everything in the field of vision is becoming dim!

"Thank you for your help."

While Pelote's consciousness had not been completely lost, Yan Jing looked at the back of his head and his twisted neck, and thanked him quite sincerely.

Hurriedly took out the spirit mask.

The soul illusion belonging to the mandrill completely dissipated, and was replaced by a gray-white humanoid phantom that had been detached from Pelote's corpse.

Pelote must die.

In case he was captured alive, it would be difficult for Yan Jing to continue to disguise even if he had a spirit mask, after all, he didn't have Joshua's memory, and Rosser could test his authenticity with a few things about the Origins Sect.

Of course, Yan Jing specially left the Source Tower and returned to his original form to guard the stern of the ship not just to kill Pelote.

Pelote's extraordinary abilities were extremely useful to Yan Jing, especially the ability to control others.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Jing will first use the matter of escaping to make him think that he is still valuable, and then reveal the details of his ability, but the Spirit Mask can only obtain one skill after all, and it is random.

At this time, Yan Jing could only hope that it would draw the one he wanted.

When the gray-white soul phantom is fully absorbed by the spirit mask, the original mandrill attribute is completely replaced.

Glazing over the panel, Yan Jing raised his eyebrows and flicked his fist in front of his chest.

It's done!
