Chapter 279: Escape

Previous Chapter

The screams began to decrease, and the sound of the water became closer.

As the ship tilted, the water overflowed, and the young man carefully adjusted his stance as he watched as the boy stepped on the water and rushed over, fighting with the humanoids in a fuchsia mess.

In front of him was the sound of metal and flesh colliding, behind was the screams of people who had gathered one after another, and the water was rising again, and the young man's heart trembled, and his face moved forward a little bit with a sad face.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the boy held up the humanoid, leaving a gap at his side that could accommodate a man to pass through.

"You go first!"

This humanoid creature has rough skin and thick flesh, and the broadsword blessed with the power of knights can only make shallow marks on its body, and it is difficult to fight for a long time, and the young man cannot do it, so he has to find an opportunity to put the enemy and us in a stalemate, and then urge the young man to go first.

When the young man over there saw this, he didn't know where it was powerful, so he immediately pulled out his legs and ran wildly, through the gap specially created by the young man, and ran to the front.

"Wow!"

"Rest for you!"

Seeing that someone had passed through its barrier, the humanoid stared sharply, looked at the young man, and opened its mouth.

The boy was not slow to react, and when he saw the humanoid creature open its mouth, he immediately retreated, turned his back in the direction of the advance, and raised his sword to block the humanoid creature.

In the next second, the tongue full of slime smashed on the blood-red broadsword, not only did it stick, but it also gave the young man an acceleration, he turned in the air, and took a few steps under his feet, and the figure followed the young man closely and disappeared at the end of the passage.

"Wow?"

The humanoid tilted its head to look at where the two had disappeared and licked its eyes again.

Turning around and glancing at the small blue-skinned humanoids who had just arrived here, it ignored it, and instead kicked on its feet, unconsciously trampling on the female corpse under it, and its body disappeared in place in an instant, and almost at the same time, the half-open door at the end of the passage burst with a bang.

The blue-skinned humanoids screamed twice and began to loot the flesh scattered on the ground.

"Bang!"

There was another loud bang, and a large hole was blasted open in the side of the hull, and an escape boat close to the place in the hull fell out and landed on the surface of the sea.

"Come on, you are in a hurry, you can't hold the oars, and I have more strength, and the boat can be faster. ”

Taking the oars from the panicked young man, the boy shook the oars and looked back.

But I saw countless blue-skinned humanoids emerge from all corners of the big ship, gather in the waters below the bow and stern of the ship, and push and drag the big ship to the top of a whirlpool. Then there was only a rattling sound, and the ship was first crumbled into pieces, and then little by little it was sucked into the whirlpool, until at last only a few broken things were scattered on the surface of the sea, and all of them floated on the water, and none of them could sink. Except for a few broken wooden planks, as long as they were edible, whether it was wine and food, or corpse leather, they were swept away by the few humanoids left on the surface of the sea.

The mirror-like sea is back to clean.

It's just that...... The purple-skinned humanoid was never seen again.

The young man was alarmed, and immediately accelerated the speed of the oar, and the escape boat increased its speed, and a figure suddenly rushed out of the sea that had just passed.

Exactly the purple-skinned humanoids!

"Whew!"

It's a good thing I'm cautious, otherwise the dinghy would have been broken just now.

"The ghost is not gone!"

The young man looked coldly at the humanoid creature approaching him, and without thinking about it, he raised his broadsword after activating the knight's power, and pushed the oncoming humanoid creature out again.

The dinghy slid forward a little further.

"Keep paddling, little master!"

The boy stood in the stern of the boat, raised his broadsword, and shouted without looking back.

"Oh, okay!"

Growing up near the water, the young man knew some basic boat driving skills, and immediately held the oars with his back to the bow of the boat and shook it vigorously.

It's just that no matter how hard he tried, he was far from the speed of the boy's oars, and the speed of the boat slowed down visibly to the naked eye.

"No, I can't hold on!

Young people are often addicted to the sound of dogs and horses, and their bodies have long been hollowed out, and they are out of breath after two strokes, and it is difficult to paddle again. The ship's speed plummeted, and he became even more anxious.

"It's okay, align the beacon barrel in the direction and draw slowly. I've already observed before, as long as the direction doesn't change, we're not in danger. ”

In the current situation, if you want to escape quickly, the young man can naturally return to the helm immediately after shooting the humanoid monster, compared to the current way of dealing with it, it is like cocooning himself.

Of course, in fact, it is impossible for a teenager who has always been calm to mess with himself for no reason.

In fact, there is another purpose for making this move.

After a while, he saw that the young man turned his head, and his attention was all focused on the beacon barrel pointed to by the bow of the boat, and the young man's secret passage had come, and he did not wait for the figure that fell not far from the stern of the ship to dive into the bottom of the ship again, so he took the initiative to use the hand of the mage and detain him from the bottom of the water.

This kind of creature is also smart, and after twisting twice, he realized that there was no way to borrow strength, and suddenly opened his wide mouth towards the young man.

It's going to repeat the old tricks, and I want to use the methods before the teenager to borrow the power in turn.

It's just that the boy expected this, or rather, this step was specially designed by the boy.

At this moment, before the long tongue could pop out, the second spell that the boy had already prepared was completed, turning into a cloud of rattling acid, taking advantage of the wide opening of the humanoid creature's mouth, and flew into its mouth.

"Wow!!"

A howl that shook the eardrums of a human was gradually submerged under the sea after the boy lifted the mage's hand.

The sound startled the young man's hands for a moment, and he subconsciously looked back to observe, but he didn't see anything.

The boy stepped forward and took the oars from the young man's hand, but he was facing the bow of the boat, contrary to the normal rowing operation, of course, this was actually to check if there was a whirlpool ahead.

When you are in a small boat, you can see clearly without the help of external objects.

"You come to the stern of the boat and see if there's any movement behind you. ”

"I ......"

The young man was a little scared and a little hesitant.

The boy sighed.

"It's okay, I can stop it if it's dangerous. ”

The fact made the boy say, obviously, those blue-skinned humanoids still refused to give up, even if there was a fleet full of ships, a bunch of women and countless food and wine, in the end there was only such a dinghy and two people left, they did not want to let go, along the way there were always one or two figures emerging from the whirlpool of the dinghy path somewhere, attacking the two of them.

Fortunately, the boy had already taken precautions, and these blue-skinned humanoids were not as beaten as the purple-skinned humanoids before, so they were all sent away by the teenager three or two.

The whole process is thrilling and dangerous.

Somewhat frightened, he glanced at the calm sea behind him, and the young man turned his head and saw the beacon bucket that was still firmly suspended on the surface of the water after the waves were falling, not far ahead, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In contrast, the young man who looked further ahead at this time had a grim face.

In front of the dinghy, there is a strange dividing line between the sea area where the wind and waves are not stopping and the sea is dead, and further on, there is the barrel that is a little larger than the boat, and dozens of ships lined up in formation, guarding outside the dividing line, the size of which can be called a giant ship in the mountains.

The young man knew that these were by no means the handiwork of the seventeen chambers of commerce.

This change has even alarmed the city of chaos?

"Look, what a big ship! there must have been one of them sent by my father to meet me!"

The young man was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and he jumped up and waved at the giant ship in the distance.

The boy glanced at the young man.

Sometimes, ignorance is a blessing.

Without further thought, he shook the oars and steered the dinghy past the beacon barrel towards the City of Chaos.

The young men shouted and shouted as they came to the bottom of the ship, but when they reached the tail of the ship and began to move away from it, there was no response from above.

"Why didn't they pick us up? Why are you still paddling forward?

The young man was in a hurry.

Hearing this, the young man glanced at the giant ship, and then turned to look at the young man in front of him.

"You should be glad they didn't leave us behind. If you're lucky, and the dinghy survives the storm belt, and the servant you whipped before doesn't betray you and spends the money of the Chamber of Commerce, then we can get supplies, and if we have the money to sail back to the trading port, you will be able to live to see your father who is waiting for your return. Got it, little master. ”

The young man used honorifics in his words, but there was no trace of respect in his tone.

The young man did not notice this, and all his attention was on the meaning of the boy's words.

"You mean, they're ...... bastards"

Looking back at those huge ships, thinking of the various murderous names of the Voyage Fleet in the City of Chaos, and remembering what he had just done, the young man was just halfway through speaking, his legs and stomach were weak, and he collapsed on the dinghy, his eyes full of fear.

He couldn't help but look at the young man and asked, "Why didn't you stop me just now?"

"If they want to keep us, they won't wait for you to greet us, if they don't want to keep us, they are even more stingy to give us a little attention, so it is not up to us to stay or not, therefore, in this case, all our actions are meaningless. ”

In the face of questioning, the young man's tone was calm, without a trace of expression.

“...... I don't really understand, anyway, we're safe now...... Done?"

Talking here, as if thinking of something, the young man suddenly smiled, and the young man's heart trembled inexplicably.

"Safety? Also, with the strength of my great knight, at least safety can be guaranteed. As for the rest, I can't guarantee it. ”

There was nothing on the dinghy except two people and two oars, and it was several days away from the city of chaos, let alone separated by a storm belt.

At this time, the young man's heart involuntarily came to the days when he was struggling to survive in the wilderness.

Hey, I'm a little nostalgic......
