Chapter Seventy-Four: Cannon Fodder

"Is there an enemy?" Han Xiao felt a little inexplicable, and when he wanted to ask a few words, he found that the little leader had already left the cabin.

"He just said that there is an enemy?" Han Xiao looked at Chen Jiao again and asked, and then unsurprisingly got Chen Jiao's white eyes.

"How can there be hostility, I'm really curious who would dare to provoke this group of guys in this sea area. "Han Xiao said it very sincerely, not jokingly.

Chen Jiao and Zhao Gangdan nodded in agreement with the same thing, jokes are jokes, but the situation that has appeared now is really puzzling. They didn't actually see it with their own eyes, but after joining the gang, they had already seen the results of the daytime battle, and the entire five pirate ships and two guardian ships were all captured by him in a few hours of naval battle, and there were at least hundreds of people who surrendered like them.

I have to admit that in the open sea, a warship like the Holy Moon is definitely at the hegemonic level. Not to mention the St. Wu and St. Ann, who did not show up. The fighting during the day had just subsided, and the enemy was attacking at night, and Han Xiao was really curious about who dared to come to trouble this great pirate.

Bai Yi was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Could it be someone from the Imperial Navy coming?"

Hearing this, Han Xiao and the others were all stunned, and then Han Xiao's expression became very complicated.

"It's not going to be the navy, if they really want to do something to these pirates, they should have done it during the day, while they're still fighting. After thinking for a while, Han Xiao shook his head and said.

"What's the use of talking about this now, just go out and see what's going on. Zhao Gangdan obviously didn't like to use his brain too much, so he yelled and pushed open the hatch and walked out.

The naval battle between the monks is very different from the naval battle in the world, before the two sides are completely close, generally speaking, no one will appear on the deck, after all, both sides are bombarding each other with spirit cannons, and this kind of thing is not easy to deal with, if the lowest-level spirit cannon is accurate, it is even possible to kill a Gathering Spirit Realm monk with one shot, and even seriously injure a Yuan Spirit Realm monk It is not impossible.

Zhao Gangdan cautiously walked towards the gun bay, although he was reckless, he knew that he couldn't go to the deck now, but before he could get close to the gun bay, he was already caught by a pirate leader.

"Boy, what are you doing, getting ready in your own cabin, what are you going to run around?"

Zhao Gangdan was not annoyed when he was scolded, scratched his head as if he had no face and no skin, turned around and walked back. His style made the person who scolded him a little puzzled, and even wondered if he had just had some hallucinations.

Zhao Gangdan's personality is such a quirk, he knows when he can mess around and when he can't, so he made such a weird scene. Seeing that Zhao Gang's eggs were deflated, Han Xiao did not give up, and planned to quietly go over to take a look, but before he left, he saw a burly guy appear in front of him.

"Captain. Seeing that it was King Zhuge who appeared, Han Xiao immediately stopped.

"Didn't you get ready, what are you doing here?" King Zhuge looked a little unhappy when he saw Han Xiao here, he didn't like his subordinates who didn't listen to orders the most.

"Captain, what kind of blind guys dare to provoke us?" Han Xiao asked directly as if he couldn't understand King Zhuge 's eyes.

King Zhuge thought for a while, and then said, "It's a demon beast." ”

"Kraken?"

"Exactly. King Zhuge nodded.

"A lot of krakens?" Han Xiao continued to ask.

"Well, a lot of Kraken. King Zhuge continued to nod good-naturedly.

"How many krakens are there?" asked Han Xiao who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

This time, King Zhuge finally frowned, but finally spoke: "Many krakens are many krakens, and we don't know exactly how many. It seemed that he was also tired of Han Xiao's questioning, and King Zhuge took the initiative to say: "At least tens of thousands of krakens, at least this number." ”

"Tens of thousands of krakens!?" Hearing King Zhuge 's words, Han Xiaozhi felt as if something was wrong with his ears. At least looking at the extremely serious expression on King Zhuge on his black face, he knew that he had definitely heard it right.

"How can there be so many krakens?" Han Xiao subconsciously muttered, he also knew that he had asked too much, this sentence was actually just an emotion.

Unexpectedly, King Zhuge was really good-tempered, and he actually opened his mouth to explain: "We are going to a more important place this time, there will be many krakens here, and the next battle will definitely be very hard, and there will definitely be hand-to-hand combat, so that you can prepare for the time when you will fight after the kraken rushes on the boat." ”

After saying this time, King Zhuge finally seemed to be completely exhausted, and walked directly into the cannon cabin, leaving only Han Xiao and them in confusion.

Han Xiao and Chen Jiao stared at each other with big eyes, although King Zhuge had already said a lot, but they still hadn't figured out what the specific situation was. It's just that now the hatch of the gun bay is closed, and the specific situation outside can't even be heard, let alone looking. Looking at the two pirates guarding the door of the gun cabin, Han Xiao and the others also knew that it was definitely unrealistic to rush in now.

It's just that suddenly, Han Xiao said in shock: "Just now he said that there will be hand-to-hand combat, on the deck?"

"yes, that's what he said. Zhao Gangdan nodded and replied.

Han Xiao's face instantly became very embarrassed, and when they saw his expression, Chen Jiao and they all became nervous together, and after a long time, Han Xiao lowered his voice and said, "There are still people hanging on the bow of the boat." ”

Hearing his words, Chen Jiao and the others finally understood what Han Xiao was worried about. Obviously, the people hanging from the bow of the ship are used to demonstrate, and now that they have encountered a large wave of krakens, they naturally don't need to play the trick of demonstrating, but because of this, it is estimated that the life and death of these captives who are used to demonstrate are not in the scope of consideration of these pirates. It's just that they don't care, but it doesn't mean that Han Xiao doesn't care, he boarded this thief ship for those people on the bow.

"Gotta figure out what's going on, at least where we're now. Han Xiao said through gritted teeth, and when he looked up at the cannon bay again, his eyes were already full of worry.

"I'll try it. At the critical moment, Bai Yi stepped forward.

As soon as he saw Bai Yi's expression, Han Xiao immediately waved his hand: "You don't need to sacrifice." ”

Bai Yiyan smiled and said, "Captain, you look down on me too much, I don't only sacrifice hue. After saying that, Bai Yi walked back slowly, but she didn't walk to the gun cabin, but to the cabin where most of the pirates gathered.

Looking at Bai Yi's very exaggerated waist twisted when he walked, Zhao Gangdan pouted and said, "It's not a sacrifice of hue, she ......" As a result, before he finished speaking, he was glared back fiercely by Han Xiao and Chen Jiao's eyes.

The waiting time was a little longer, and in the process of waiting, Han Xiao had already heard sporadic cannon sounds, his expression began to become more and more nervous, and now it was only sporadic cannons, at least it proved that the battle was not too intense, and it was absolutely impossible for a kraken to have rushed on board, but if you wait a little longer, I really don't know what else will happen.

Finally, Bai Yi, who had disappeared for a while, finally walked back, Chen Jiao deliberately stared at her walking steps for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Chen Jiao's sigh of relief, Han Xiao's heart was much less worried.

"Asked. As soon as Bai Yi approached them, he said, "This time Wu Yuean came out with all his men and three warships, not entirely to rob the ships, but to go to a place to grab treasures. According to rumors, the reason why there is a kraken turmoil in the Andi Sea is not because someone deliberately attracted the kraken, but because a treasure appears here. After investigation, it was finally confirmed that the treasure appeared in a place called Tianpeng Mountain. This time, Wu Ye can be regarded as bringing people out of the nest, just to come to Tianpeng Mountain to grab treasures. ”

Bai Yi glanced around and continued: "Now that they have entered the sea area around Tianpeng Mountain, they have already explored Wu Yue'an before coming here, there are at least tens of thousands of krakens gathered here now instead of just 10,000, and Wu Yue'an and they robbed so many ships and people before, just to use them as cannon fodder. Speaking of this, Bai Yi was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Of course, we are also one of the cannon fodder." ”

After laughing at herself, she continued: "Wu Yue'an's plan this time is to use the snatched warship to open the way, and once the hand-to-hand combat begins, they will use the cannon fodder from the captives to go out and fight first, anyway, they are all robbed, and they won't feel distressed if they die." ”

Listening to Bai Yi's explanation, Han Xiao and the others knew what was going on. In fact, Han Xiao also felt very curious before, from the rumors about pirates he learned from Zhao Gangdan and them, but very few pirates would capture prisoners, and even if they did, they would only arrest women. But it was clear that the women they had captured were just consumables for them.

But this time, Wu Yue'an made such a big formation, but he wanted to rob ships and people, which was not in line with the pirates' style of coming and going like the wind. But now Han Xiao finally knows why, it turns out that they are still doing things according to the past methods this time, but the consumables they robbed this time need to be used as cannon fodder for them.

"What kind of treasure is it that is worth his great effort?" asked Han Xiao curiously.

Bai Yi shook his head and said, "Few people know about this matter, it is estimated that King Zhuge knows, but I believe he should not sue us." ”

Han Xiao nodded, this kind of thing is naturally only known to those real bigwigs, no matter what means Bai Yi used to get these news, but it can be thought that the mouth she can pry open must only be the mouths of some small minions, at most it is just some small bosses, how can those people know about this kind of thing.

It's just that now Han Xiao just wants to know when he can get on the deck, and after learning that there is a sea area where at least tens of thousands of krakens have gathered, Han Xiao is even more worried about the situation of his third uncle.

After King Zhuge walked out of the gun compartment again, Han Xiao didn't want to step forward directly and said, "King, I want to go up to the deck to have a look." ”

"Huh?" King Zhuge looked at Han Xiao unexpectedly and asked, "Why do you want to go up?"

"I want to try it, the Kraken here is not powerful. ”

"I'm afraid you can't even fool yourself by saying this. King Zhuge said with a smile.

Han Xiao still wanted to continue fighting, but King Zhuge waved his hand and said, "If you especially want to go up, you can go, I won't stop anyone from going up to the deck to kill the enemy." But ......" Speaking of this, King Zhuge said very seriously: "But don't think that you have a chance to escape on the deck, since you are on this ship, there will definitely be no turning back." Also, one thing must be reminded that the sea we entered is now full of krakens, don't think that there is nothing in the calm water, and when you do jump in, you will know how to write the word regret. ”

King Zhuge seemed to be idle, but in fact he warned Han Xiao severely, and when he said this, he didn't forget to look at Chen Jiao and the others beside Han Xiao. Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "I don't want to escape, I just want to try the strength of the kraken here." ”

"Well, I admire your courage and hope you will persevere to the end. King Zhuge finished speaking calmly, and then walked to the other cabins to check the situation of the other manpower.

"Go up on my own, and wait for me here. As soon as King Zhuge left, Han Xiao said to Zhao Gangdan.

"Don't tell me that, I have to be with you. Zhao Gangdan said with a big grin.

Chen Jiao also shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't like to stay down there either, it's too boring to stay in the cabin if you can't take the helm." ”

Bai Yi was very straightforward, looked straight at Han Xiao and said, "I'll go too." ”

Looking at the reactions of several companions, Han Xiao knew that it was unrealistic to want to stop them, so he could only say gratefully: "Then thank you very much." ”

Several people waved their hands indifferently, and even Bai Yi looked much more natural, and said softly: "You are the captain, you can't watch the captain fight alone." "After getting along for a long time, Han Xiao and they all found that Bai Yi would look more stupid more often, if it weren't for the fact that she was too demonic, it would be difficult to see that she was a white rat demon.

The wind on the deck was very strong, and the sea breeze seemed to be roaring, wanting to convey some mysterious information, Han Xiao and Zhao Gangdan had already felt the boundless pressure as soon as they stepped onto the deck. At this moment, they even felt as if a large net was being compiled above their heads, and Han Xiao always had the feeling that he was heading towards a far-reaching past. Looking up at the night sky without a single star, Han Xiao suddenly said with emotion: "I hope we can all survive this time." ”

No one responded to him, after all, such a frustrating feeling was really difficult to deal with.

Han Xiao didn't care either, at this moment, he finally dared to look at the bow of the Holy Moon, and he finally saw the situation over there. There were seventeen monks hanging over there, each dressed in tatters, and though they couldn't be seen clearly, they could be recalled covered in wounds. And if there is no miscalculation, maybe each of them has been forced to swallow an elixir like the elixir, otherwise, it is impossible to bind a monk like the third uncle with just one or two ropes, you must know that the third uncle is already a powerhouse in the Tongxuan realm.

In fact, what Han Xiao is most curious about now is how the third uncle was caught by this group of pirates, even if there are many of them, even if Wu Yue'an's combat power is indeed outstanding, but in front of the third uncle, it can actually be said that the pirates in the entire Andi Sea are not worth mentioning, including this Wu Yue'an, but he is just a Yuan Spirit Realm monk, if he really wants to go to war, the third uncle may even need only seventy percent of his combat power to kill him, but the current situation is that the third uncle has become a prisoner, which is something that Han Xiao can't accept and can't understand.

The cultivation realm is divided into bone casting, soul condensation, spirit gathering, and yuan spirit, and then there is Tongxuan. The current Han Xiao has just stepped into the realm of the Gathering Spirit Realm, just because he has always been given a complete set of life patterns by monks of the same realm in his body, Han Xiao's strength already looks very good, but compared to the monks of the Yuan Spirit Realm, he is just a small character, which Han Xiao knows very well. So he didn't think about forcibly rescuing the third uncle at all, even now, he just wanted to keep the third uncle from harm in this chaotic night.

"Is it possible to refine the spirit armor you said in such a place?" Han Xiao suddenly looked back at Chen Jiao and asked.

Chen Jiao shook her head directly and said, "This is impossible. ”

Han Xiao was not surprised, but he still nodded in frustration, and when he turned his head again, he was surprised to see that in the night, the third uncle actually raised his head to look at him. Maybe it was because the night was too dark, and Han Xiao couldn't see the third uncle's eyes at this time, but Han Xiao seemed to have great courage now.

Suddenly, after a violent spirit cannon sounded, the entire Holy Moon began to shake. At this time, there were also monks on the deck who began to come out continuously, and looking at these people who came out now, Han Xiao also knew that the information he got before was accurate. Now the monks who were driven out are really the monks who were captured by Wu Yue'an and them before, and it is obvious that this time they are all going to start their fate as cannon fodder.

Chi Songyun was also in the crowd that was pushed out, looking at Han Xiao who was already standing on the deck, Chi Songyun's face was extremely complicated. He couldn't hide the anger in his eyes, but he seemed to be a little afraid, but he didn't know whether he was afraid of Han Xiao or the punishment he might receive if he went to war with Han Xiao.

The number of monks who were driven onto deck was not small, there were hundreds, and the battle at sea was not the same as the battle on land, and the battle in the sea was the warship after all, whether it was the navy or the pirates, there were not too many people on board, and the number of hundreds was already very good.

But as if it had been agreed, at the moment when all the cannon fodder captives were pushed onto the deck, the figures of the Sirens began to appear around the Holy Moon, and soon these figures all turned into entities, and after the phantoms flashed, dozens of fierce and vicious Krakens appeared on the deck almost in the blink of an eye.

Seeing these enemies that suddenly appeared, Chi Songyun and the others were somewhat panicked, after all, they were different from Han Xiao, they were not ready for battle.

But even Han Xiao, who was ready for battle, couldn't help but shrink his pupils the moment he saw these krakens, and couldn't help but shout out loud: "How can this be?"
