Su Ruo didn't know that in this vast sea, if the two sides were hostile, there would be other options besides fighting or fleeing, so she asked Xue Yan with some doubts: "Then what does the other first mate say? I see that the monks on the pirate ship are about the same as them, and if they really fight, maybe who wins and who loses." ”

Qin Wen listened to Su Ruo's words at this time, and couldn't help but pay attention to the pirate ship, and found that the realm of the monks on the pirate ship was almost the same as that on the merchant ship, and there were only a dozen monks in the Xuanshi realm on the two ships combined, and there was only one monk with a higher level of Xuanshi, this was the only monk who was higher than the realm cultivation on the merchant ship, and it could be said that it was a little inferior to Kong Guang's group of mountain bandits.

Xue Yan opened his mouth at this time and explained to Su Ruo: "The other first mate said that these pirates are well-known and vicious one-eyed sharks, if they fight, they will definitely not be their opponents, it is better to continue sailing north, last time they met the warships of the Principality of Handao, if they are lucky, maybe they can meet this time." ”

After listening to Xue Yan's translated words, even if Qin Wen rarely survived in the vast sea, he couldn't help but pout, like this kind of endless sea, even if there is a connection, it is not easy to meet a ship, let alone meet the same warship again in the same place and at the same time.

Thinking of this, Qin Wen seemed to have sensed that there would definitely be someone else to refute this monk's opinion, so he opened his mouth and asked Xue Yan: "What do they say next? I have the same opinion as Su Ruo, although these two monks on the pirate ship seem to be extremely vicious, but when they really fight, the battle situation is not necessarily one-sided." ”

Xue Yan shook his head slightly and said, "After listening to the words of this first mate, everyone didn't speak, you see." The captain in the middle seemed to have a frightened expression, and he should have muttered the words "cyclops". ”

Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, and looked down with his divine sense, and sure enough, all the monks fell into silence. Everyone frowned, but the expression on the captain's face was as Xue Yan said, with a look of decadence and fear, and there were words in his mouth, but he didn't know what he was saying.

Su Ruo asked Xue Yan curiously at this time, "What kind of spiritual creature is the one-eyed shark?They all look afraid of these pirates, are these pirates famous here?"

Xue Yan thought for a while and said: "The shark is a fish in the sea that is very good at attacking, and it is very ferocious, usually some fish larger than it dare not provoke them easily, the one-eyed shark should be the nickname of this pirate group." They are described as experienced and extremely cunning sharks, very difficult to deal with, and very cruel. ”

Qin Wen shook his head at this time and said: "I think this pirate gang must not only use their fame to scare people, they also have their own spiritual objects that they rely on, or they have had brilliant achievements in the past, otherwise, everything is empty talk without strength." I guess since they've been following this merchant ship, they must have had their plans. Let's follow them and see what happens. ”

After the discussion just now, there was silence in the control room of the merchant ship, and the middle-aged captain with blond hair and blue eyes sat in the middle of it in frustration, as if there was nothing to be done, allowing the merchant ship to drift north. And at this moment, a Xuanshi realm monk suddenly opened his mouth and said a long list of words.

Qin Wen looked at Xue Yan, and Xue Yan knew that Qin Wen wanted to translate for himself, so he spoke: "The monk just now said that since this one-eyed shark is so difficult to deal with, why don't you bring someone ashore." Now so close to the coastline, it would be better to go ashore than to be held back by pirates in the sea, and perhaps abandoning the next ship would save the lives of all the people on board, and if he could really escape from life, he would be willing to build another ship for the captain that would be exactly the same as this one. ”

At this time, Qin Wen saw the captain shake his head and say something, this time Xue Yan translated directly: "The captain said that the one-eyed shark has not made a move now, just for the sake of this merchant ship, if they abandon the merchant ship, they will not only send people to occupy the ship, but also will not let go of any monks who escape." ”

Hearing this, Qin Wen couldn't help but shake his head slightly, no matter how powerful this group of pirates called the one-eyed shark is, it is impossible to catch all the monks who fled in all directions, unless all of their opposing monks are a cut above each other, of course, from the current point of view, this is impossible.

Sure enough, as Qin Wen thought, although the Xuanshi monk didn't speak, he didn't believe what the captain said, his eyes rolled slightly, as if he was looking for a route to escape, but after looking at it for a while, he lowered his head in frustration, and abandoned the ship and fled without the concerted efforts of the people on the ship.

In this way, the monks on the merchant ship have been discussing countermeasures, but there is still no good way, so they have to let the merchant ship drift like this, Qin Wen can't help but probe his divine sense into the two ships of the pirates, and the pirates on one of the ships are also discussing things.

But they looked much more relaxed, a few monks from the Xuanshi realm sat around a mottled iron table, on the table were randomly placed a few pickled seafood, some dried meat, green beans and the like, there was also a barrel of wine on it, a few glass utensils, a few monks drank wine in a big gulp, while discussing things.

Qin Wen opened his mouth and asked Xue Yan, "Are these people discussing how to deal with the merchant ships in front?

Xue Yan listened for a while, shook his head and said: "It is estimated that the plan of these pirates has been decided, they are now idle and talking about how to distribute spiritual objects after some robberies, it is estimated that it is almost time to make a move, there should be that strait in front, we can clearly see how they do it from above." ”

Qin Wen looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a small reef island with an area of less than two miles, standing on the route, judging from the steep rocky reef above, the draft below must not be deep, it should be a great test for the ships passing through here, not to mention that there are now two pirate ships behind the merchant ships.

At this time, Qin Wen turned his attention to the control room of the merchant ship, the captain and several first mates should have realized that they were about to reach the small island ahead, and they also knew in their hearts that the pirates would definitely attack near this island and reef, but there was no way, they could only see if the heavens favored them, so that they could pass through the island and reef smoothly, if they could pass through the island and reef at one time without slowing down, then there was hope to get rid of the pirate ship behind.

Although it was a great challenge ahead, if they were lucky, it would also be an opportunity to get rid of pirates, so they stopped all talking and assigned the most experienced sailors to each position, and all sailors knew that they were now facing the test of life and death, and they all concentrated on doing their own thing.

The pirates behind him looked very leisurely, a pirate leader raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass, leaned the glass on the side of the barrel at will, and then got up and walked out of the cabin, shouting loudly to the pirate sailors outside, and these pirate sailors also responded loudly, the voice was so high that Qin Wen could hear it clearly without his divine sense.

At this time, the merchant ship had already come to the island, Qin Wen obviously saw that some of the monks, women and children on the deck had already knelt on the ground, their fingers kept sliding on their chests, muttering something scripture or something like that, Xue Yan saw Qin Wen and Su Ruo's curious expressions, so he opened his mouth to explain: "These people in Western countries all believe in gods and the like, and what they do now is to pray, which can be regarded as praying for themselves and the merchant ships. ”

I don't know if these women's pious prayers really moved the heavens, the merchant ship passed smoothly next to the complex terrain next to the reef at one time, which is almost never the case, when they left the last group of rocks with the reef mark, the whole merchant ship couldn't help but thunder with joy, even some monks in the realm of Xuanshi jumped and jumped like children.

Qin Wen couldn't help but pay attention to the pirate ship behind him, the pirate ship suddenly stopped at this time, they didn't seem to have the idea of crossing the islands and reefs, just when Qin Wen was a little puzzled, he suddenly felt a familiar aura fluctuation on the pirate ship, this kind of fluctuation has rarely been encountered after entering the country of He Blade.

Qin Wen and Su Ruo couldn't help but glance at each other, Qin Wen saw the same idea from Su Ruo's eyes, and said directly: "Circle, there is a circle on this pirate ship?"

Xue Yan couldn't help but be stunned at this time, he was a monk who grew up in the country of Jiaguan, and the magic circle basically only existed in the stories told by the elderly, and after being hired by the Qin family caravan, he saw the monk who cultivated the magic circle for the first time under Han Shang's hands, as well as the legendary array disk.

He saw that Qin Wen and Su Ruo were very sure of the word magic circle, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "These countries in the West basically don't use array disks or anything like that, how can there be a magic circle in this small pirate group?"

Su Ruo frowned slightly at this time and said: "Not only does this pirate group have a magic circle, but this magic circle seems to be more familiar to me, if as you said, the monks in Western countries have not seen the magic circle, then this time the merchant ship seems to be more auspicious." ”

Xue Yan's divine consciousness had also felt the surging aura fluctuations below, so he hesitated for a moment and asked Su Ruodao, "What is the main function of this magic circle?" (To be continued......)
