Chapter 3: The Black Dragon

"Grab money, grab food, grab women!

The pirate leader shouted, and a bunch of minions rushed onto the ship like vicious dogs robbing.

It had been three or four days since they set off from Huadu, and the passenger boat Li Xiang and his team were on was near the mouth of the Rushing River. This group of pirates has recently been driven by the navy to hide everywhere, only to get shelter from the inland waterway, but they didn't expect to encounter a passenger ship delivered to the door in the thick fog, how can there be meat that is not eaten?

Smoke rose everywhere, people shouted in panic, and fled for their lives, which made the pirates act recklessly.

All the passengers squeezed their heads and ran to the upper class to survive, while one person went against the current, facing the crowd and going to the lower level of the cabin. This person is Li Xiang.

"Ahem! Catherine!" The corridor was filled with smoke, choking Li Xiang from opening his eyes, and he shouted as he walked, looking for Catherine's shadow from cabin to cabin.

When the accident happened, Li Xiang didn't think about running away, but where Catherine was. He had completely forgotten what a strong woman Catherine was, and headed straight for Catherine's cabin.

"Uh......h Daddy, wake up...... Mom, I want Mommy, woo......"

A little girl knelt and wept helplessly next to the corpse of a man with a knife in his chest, and beside him lay the corpse of a pirate.

Li Xiang's heart seemed to be grasped by a hand, he squatted down and picked up the little girl, squeezed out a smile and said, "Where has Mom gone? I'll take you to find her." ”

The little girl sobbed and pointed in a direction, which was exactly the direction in which Li Xiang wanted to continue to move forward.

Ahead, the cries of women, the ** of dying people, and the excited shouts of pirates......

Li Xiang pulled out the knife on the man's chest and hugged the little girl with a solemn expression. Whatever was ahead, he had to find Catherine first.

"Be honest!Let the uncle be happy!" came the man's lewd voice from the front room.

"No...... No......," the woman cried out in despair.

"If you're not honest, I'll go out and kill that little brute!" the man threatened viciously. "That's right, good!......" The man sighed in satisfaction, and the woman was silent.

Li Xiang put the little girl on the ground, raised his finger and said to her, "Shhh ”

The little girl held back her sobs, covered her little mouth, and did not dare to make a sound.

The door to the room was wide open, and Li Xiang crept in. A pirate was wriggling on top of a woman, completely unaware of anyone behind her. The woman's tears soaked the sheets, and her eyes were blank as if she were dead. When she saw Li Xiang, anger returned to her eyes, begging, hatred, and anger mixed together, and she nodded silently at Li Xiang.

Poof! The steel knife pierced the back of the pirate's heart, blood gushing out.

The first time Li Xiang killed someone, he held the handle of the knife with both hands, and he couldn't let go of it even if he wanted to.

The woman laboriously pushed away the pirate's corpse, hastily tidied up her clothes, and bowed deeply to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang suddenly remembered something, pointed to the door and said to the woman, "Child." ”

The woman hurriedly rushed out of the door, hugged her daughter tightly, and asked with concern, "Lilith, my baby, is she not hurt?"

"Uncle...... "The little girl saw her mother again, and she couldn't speak clearly, but she had already made everything clear.

The mother and daughter reunited here, crying with joy, but Li Xiang had nothing to be happy about. Catherine is still nowhere to be found, and the deck is now full of pirates, so the mother and daughter will be doomed if they do.

"Do you know how to swim?" Li Xiang asked the woman.

"I grew up by the sea and have a good sense of the water. The woman said.

"It should be okay to swim with your daughter, right?"

Seeing the woman nodding, Li Xiang said, "That's easy, you take off your clothes first." ”

The woman looked at Li Xiang vigilantly and covered her chest.

Li Xiang didn't blame her, she had suffered too much misfortune today, and she had become a frightened bird, and said with a smile: "Where do you want to go, how will you swim in such a ridiculous clothes?

The planks of this ship are made of decades-old oak, and the thinnest part is more than 20 centimeters. If Li Xiang was holding an axe in his hand, it would be a bit difficult for a knife to cut a gap with Li Xiang's physique.

The mother and daughter looked at Li Xiang stupidly, not knowing what he was going to do, Li Xiang glanced at the two of them embarrassedly, and pretended to say, "I'll try the knife to make it good or not." ”

Since ordinary steel knives can't help the shipboard, then it is necessary to add some materials.

Li Xiang's left hand burst out with colorful light, and in a hurry, he didn't know what attribute elemental enchantment could be effective, so he casually gathered a bunch of second-level elements. Then he used this light to caress the steel knife in his right hand, and then the golden light covered the knife, Li Xiang didn't know what it was, he only felt that he seemed to be more energetic.

Li Xiang looked at the steel knife in his hand, it was really good, and he said that he would give it a try.

He gripped the steel knife tightly and slashed his hands hard at the ship's plank. Golden light bloomed from the steel sword, enveloping Li Xiang as if a god had descended from the earth.

Boom! The sturdy, heavy oak planks were split into pieces like scrap wood. A hole appeared in the wall, just enough for the mother and daughter to pass through.

Li Xiang removed half of the bed board, threw it out, turned to the mother and daughter and said, "Don't go quickly!"

The woman nodded gratefully to Li Xiang, walked to the entrance of the cave with her daughter in her arms, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Please leave your name, and it will be reported by the spring in the future." ”

Li Xiang urged: "Let's go! My name is Li Xiang." ”

The woman silently recited Li Xiang's name and jumped into the river with her daughter in her arms.

Li Xiang poked his head out of the cabin and saw that the woman was really good in water, and after putting his daughter on the bed board, he pushed the bed board and swam towards the shore, so he continued to look for Catherine with confidence.

"Martin, where are you dead? Aren't you a fast gunner?

As soon as Li Xiang walked out of the room, he heard someone shouting behind him, listening to the meaning of the man's words, the dead pirate was called Martin.

"Who are you?" said the man who spoke in an instant, a large pirate. He looked into the room and immediately understood. "You kill Martin!

Li Xiang had no actual combat experience at all, except for stabbing a pirate in the back just now, but instinctively raised his knife to meet him, but he didn't expect him to block this big man's knife.

"Huh?" The big pirate was taken aback when he saw the golden light on Li Xiang's weapon. "I didn't expect to run into Roland's Gothic Praetorian Guards here. I like this knife, and you're going to die!" said him, another knife that was even more powerful.

Growing so big, Li Xiang is also a little smoother with a kitchen knife, which is limited to chopping dumpling filling, and he won't be able to be more meticulous, let alone fight with people with a knife. He clumsily parried left and right, forced to retreat by the big pirate.

"Haha! You're the Gothic Praetorian Guard who entered through the back door, right?" the pirate sneered when he saw that Li Xiang was so useless.

It can't go on like this, Catherine hasn't found it yet, so I'm going to hang here first. Li Xiang suddenly remembered that he had obviously smashed the ship's board with one blow just now, and he was a gamble on death or life. In the interval between the pirate attacks, Li Xiang slashed back hard. The golden light enveloped his body again, and the pirate's weapon swirled and flew out.

The pirate sat down on the ground and begged for mercy: "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I have an old ......."

Li Xiang thought of the little girl who was crying next to his dead father, and said angrily: "Tell those who died!" As he spoke, he raised the golden steel knife and slashed hard, and the golden light bloomed again.

"Ah!" the pirate screamed in panic, pale.

Whoa! Metal shards fell on the pirate's face.

It took a long time before he dared to touch his face and touch his neck again to confirm that he was fine. At this time, he found that the terrifying steel knife in Li Xiang's hand had been shattered to the hilt.

The pirate suddenly stood up, grabbed Li Xiang's collar, and punched him in front of the door, hitting Li Xiang with a roar.

"Bastard! Dare to scare Lao Tzu! I promise not to kill you!"

One punch after another, one punch heavier than the other, each punch did not hit the vital point, just to make Li Xiang suffer the most.

The cage's iron door was shut, and the pirate had a large, heavy lock on it.

He said to Li Xiang in the cage: "I am very fair, you didn't kill me, and I won't kill you." ”

In a daze, Li Xiang felt something cool, and suddenly woke up, and found that he was locked in the lowest warehouse, and the river was rapidly seeping in, and now it was no longer above his ankles.

Even more terrifying than death is the long process of waiting for death.

Li Xiang shook the thumb-thick iron fence in vain and simply gave up. Let's hope Catherine is okay, this is his last wish.

"Pick up the valuables, and go away!" The pirates hurriedly left, carrying some valuables.

Boom!

As soon as a couple of pirates walked up the stairs, they vomited blood and flew back. Looking at the way their chests collapsed, it is estimated that they will not survive.

"Stupid, what are you running around, do you know how long I've been looking for you?"

The purple-eyed woman who worried Li Xiang appeared like a divine soldier descending from the sky. No matter how angry she was, Li Xiang always smirked.

Catherine was uncomfortable by Li Xiang, and said angrily: "Look at your pig's head, have you been beaten stupidly?

Those iron fences that Li Xiang didn't have anything to do with it let out a wail, and they were torn off by Catherine's bare hands!

Li Xiang struggled out of the cage and said with a smile: "I've been looking for you for a long time." Be careful......"

Li Xiang pounced on Catherine, held her in his arms, and blocked Catherine with his back. A shiny steel knife pierced through the heart, and warm blood splattered Catherine's face. A flash of black lightning burned the pirate who still had a breath of air to powder.

Catherine looked at the tip of the knife less than a centimeter away from her, and then at Li Xiang, who was constantly spilling blood from her mouth, and was stunned.

Li Xiang fell softly into Catherine's arms, unable to speak, just smirked.

Catherine's face was cold, and she forced herself to hold back some emotion and said, "Fool! Who made you troublesome?"

The purple-black light burst through the cabin, tearing the ship in half in an instant. Before the people on the boat could scream, they were already in ashes.

Whew......

A black dragon soared into the air, setting off a violent wind and waves, blowing away the dense fog on the Rushing River, and the pirate ship with black sails also appeared.

Under the golden sun, the pirates on the ship were horrified to see that in the sky, the black dragon took a deep breath.

Flailing its wings, the black dragon flew towards the sea to the south. On his back, lying on his stomach was Li Xiang, whose face was bloodless.

Behind him, the black flames on the Rushing River endured for a long time.

At the top of the earth's pole where the wind and snow were howling, someone opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said to himself: "Another restless guy has come out of the Black Dragon Valley. He closed his eyes and seemed to be perceiving something. "Did you go south? It has nothing to do with us. ”
