Station 55 Captain Ranger
Han Xiao and Zhao Gangdan looked together at a place in the dense forest, where they both sensed that someone was hiding. When they realized this, their faces became very ugly. Although that distance is relatively far away, if the other party really has any special abilities, maybe they will really hear what Han Xiao said just now, and more importantly, they may see the changes in Han Xiao's body.
It's not that Han Xiao's demonized arm is so invisible, it's just that this kind of secret naturally doesn't want to be seen too much.
"Come out, do you have to wait for us to get you out?" Han Xiao said coldly, but as he spoke, he had already begun to secretly exercise.
"Okay, okay, I'll come out by myself, don't do it. To Han Xiao's surprise, it turned out to be a slightly delicate voice.
Then the two saw a female cultivator dressed in white spirit armor who looked like a girl next door slowly walked over, this female cultivator's appearance was not handsome, and even looked a little ordinary, but her graceful posture when she walked made her a little more charming.
This is actually not the point, the point is that Han Xiao and Zhao Gangdan can see that she is not a person.
"A demon who can transform into a human ......," Zhao Gangdan said subconsciously.
The banshee's body stiffened, and she began to dare not step forward. Seeing this, Han Xiao beckoned, let her get closer, and asked, "Why are you hiding there and eavesdropping on us." β
"I'm not hiding here, I've just escaped here. The banshee hurriedly explained: "I was hunted down, and I had no choice but to flee to this heavenly demon forest, but as soon as I escaped here, I was discovered by you." β
Han Xiao and Zhao Gangdan glanced at each other, they couldn't make any judgment on this banshee's words for a while, after all, they did suddenly feel a strange aura appearing, but whether this aura had just appeared or just approached, it was difficult to define.
Han Xiao asked again: "Why are you being hunted down, by the way, what kind of demon are you." β
"I'm a rat demon. The banshee said.
"White mouse, ......" Hearing the other party's words, Zhao Gangdan sighed meaningfully, and the tension just now weakened a lot. His expression darkened the banshee's eyes for an instant, but he couldn't see the slightest anger in her, as if she was used to it.
Han Xiao glared at Zhao Gangdan dissatisfiedly, and he also understood why Zhao Gangdan was like this. It can be said that the human race and the demon race are absolute rivals, and the kraken naturally does not mention it, as long as the demon beasts living in the open sea are enemies, but among the demon beasts in the area that humans have controlled, there are some demon beasts that are in a very awkward position. The white rat demon is one of them, the number of this kind of demon beasts is relatively large, and the most important thing is that the white rat demon can transform into a human at a very low level, so many monks with heavy tastes gradually like to buy some white rat banshees to keep at home, and it is natural to know what to do when they raise them.
It is precisely because of this that the white rat demon is a plaything in the eyes of the human monks, and it has slowly begun to be disrecognized by the demon beasts, and even some demon beasts with high intelligence regard the white rat demon clan as a shame. is such a race in an awkward position, and naturally many people can't help but despise them when they see them.
Han Xiao didn't say much after glaring at Zhao Gangdan, after all, this kind of thing really can't be said more, and after a pause, he asked again: "Who wants to hunt you down." β
"Who else could it be, it must be her master. Zhao Gangdan smiled wickedly on the side.
"Shut up!" Han Xiao suddenly became angry, looking at Zhao Gangdan with a cold look in his eyes.
Zhao Gangdan was stunned for a moment, he was surprised to find that Han Xiao was really angry, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Isn't it Han Xiao, are you okay with this?"
Han Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Gangdan, and still looked at the white mouse demon.
There was a little episode just now, and the banshee's eyes were puzzled at first, and then very complicated. As a result, when she sighed, Han Xiao asked coldly: "Ask you, who is chasing you!"
"Ahh......h Captain Ranger saw that he was interested in money, so he and his men began to come out to rob the ship. I am...... I'm Captain Ranger's female companion, and it's been three days since we landed, but not long ago, Captain Ranger led a fight with a group of monks who suddenly landed, and I escaped in the chaos, so I ran into you. β
"Captain Lan Jie, is he also a pirate?" Han Xiao continued.
The banshee nodded and said, "Yes, Captain Lan Jie is one of the seventy-two captains in the Andi Sea, he has a total of more than 500 people under his command, and he has three pirate ships, and his strength is already quite good, even when the navy of Tianning Kingdom is stationed here, those navies are helpless against Captain Lan Jie." β
"But a group of small pirates, more than 500 people, what is commendable for such a little force?" Hearing the banshee's words, Han Xiao subconsciously criticized a few words. This is really completely instinctive, after all, the Tianning Navy in the banshee's mouth should refer to her third uncle Han Yanfeng. Thinking that the third uncle led a rare elite army in the Tianning Kingdom, how could he be helpless against a group of pirates.
Seeing Han Xiao's excited appearance, the banshee didn't dare to say anything for a while, Zhao Gangdan glanced at Han Xiao with a little puzzlement, and finally explained: "If you talk about frontal combat capabilities, whether it is naval warfare or landing operations, pirates naturally cannot confront the regular navy, but the problem is that pirates never compete head-on with the regular navy, pirates are not soldiers, and they don't have any sense of honor. They want money, and robbery is business for them, so they will do their best to minimize the risk of each robbery, and stay away from the sea areas where the navy may appear as much as possible. β
Listening to Zhao Gangdan's explanation, Han Xiao felt very fresh, it was indeed the first time he had heard such a statement, but the banshee on the side was very calm, obviously she was very clear about the survival rules of pirates.
Zhao Gangdan continued: "No matter where the pirates are, they must be fighting guerrilla warfare, regardless of whether there is a navy there. The situation here is certainly the same, the so-called seventy-two captains in the Andi Sea may be small compared to the navy, but their advantage is to grab and run, and there is no fixed stronghold, it is difficult for the navy to pursue them, let alone find their base camp and annihilate them all, in the final analysis, pirates are stubborn diseases, not difficult to deal with, but difficult to clean up thoroughly. β
"Oh, to put it bluntly, it's just a group of stinky scoundrels, pinching soft persimmons when they catch them, and running away when they encounter ruthless characters?" Xu is because he has listened to the third uncle tell him about the disadvantages of pirates since he was a child, and Han Xiao is almost instinctively resistant to pirates, and said with disdain in his tone: "Such a group of guys, you actually yearn for their life?"
Zhao Gangdan was not annoyed, just smiled and said lazily: "You don't understand." β
Han Xiao sneered, and did not continue to entangle this topic with Zhao Gangdan. Just thinking of the unfinished topic just now, Han Xiao continued to ask, "What is Captain Lanjie's strength, and what kind of enemy did he suddenly encounter." β
"Captain Lan Jie is a five-fold cultivator of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and the previous melee dealt a heavy blow to Captain Lan Jie, and his men did not lose much, but both pirate ships were sunk. This time, if he can't find the guardianship that the Navy has placed here, it will be a complete loss. Even if he did, he wouldn't have been able to transport all of his men away at once. β
"The pirate ship was sunk, and they encountered a naval battle?" asked Han Xiao curiously.
"It's not a naval battle, it's a sneak attack, originally Captain Lanjie has landed for a long time, and the three pirate ships are docked in the temporary harbor, but suddenly a guardianship appeared outside the harbor, the strength of the guardian ship is limited, but their firepower is quite strong, the spirit cannon on that ship seems to have been specially modified, only three cannons sank Captain Lanjie's two ships, although those two ships are indeed more rubbish, but this firepower is too amazing. β
Listening to the banshee's explanation, Han Xiao's mind suddenly became very complicated, it was the guardianship that appeared, presumably it should be that the monks on the other trial islands had already decided the victory and started their journey. But thinking that everyone had already sunk two pirate ships, and he could only hide in the small forest and be chased by a group of pirates with rotten equipment, a sense of frustration suddenly hit Han Xiao.
People are such strange beings, in the past, when nothing happened, Han Xiao's skin had long been extremely thick, and he would not have any intention of comparing with others at all, but now, he has begun to feel defeated because his skills are not as good as others, and he really can't say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
However, figuring out these situations has given Han Xiao and Zhao Gangdan a new understanding of the current situation on pirates, so it seems that there should be at least three groups of forces on the island now, and the largest group of them will be the group of pirates, that is, the captain of Ranjie, and then the monks on the guardianship, it is estimated that they have also landed, or at least they are still patrolling near the harbor, and then there are Han Xiao and the others who were originally testing on the island, but because they are too loose, it is not yet known whether they can be regarded as a group of forcesγ
When Han Xiao was thinking about these things, Zhao Gangdan suddenly asked, "Han Xiao, you have finished asking all the questions you should ask." β
Hearing this, Han Xiao was slightly stunned and then nodded and said, "Well, I'm done asking." β
"Oh. Zhao Gangdan replied and said, "Then leave it to me next." β
