Xue Zha's eyes showed a look of disbelief, and he looked at Cao Xiong in front of him, with a rare look of shock on his face.

"You...... How did you do that?"

Xue Zha didn't understand that Cao Xiong would defuse his attack so lightly.

It's like waving a hand to wipe away a touch of dust, without a trace of effort.

And Cao Xiong was not surprised when he saw the shock on Xue Zha's face, as if he had guessed it in advance.

"Young man, you are too impatient, the attack is not like this. ”

Cao Xiong shook his sleeves slightly, looked at Xue Zha, stroked his beard and smiled faintly.

"Attack is not like attack, defense is not like defense, I already sensed your movement before you made a move, it was too deliberate!"

Although Cao Xiong's words were very plain, when he heard Xue Zha's ears, it was like thunder, and the strength of the old man in front of him had exceeded his imagination.

It can be said that this man is more dangerous than the two monarchs he has seen before.

"This guy is too scheming, he usually disguises himself as a harmless picture, but in fact, he has worked hard behind his back, no wonder history says that the leaders of Wei are very ambitious. ”

Such a thought flashed through Xue Zha's heart, which reminded him of the history of the Three Kingdoms that he had read before.

Although Wei finally unified the Three Kingdoms because of Sima Yi's betrayal, it was also from the Wei camp, from Cao Cao to Cao Pi.

Therefore, Xue Zha also felt that he was not surprised, the history he knew was that the Wei State was relatively strong, and there was nothing wrong with the military value of the monarch being higher.

Cao Xiong looked at the expression on Xue Zha's face, frowned for a while, stretched for a while, and then thought in a daze, not knowing what this guy was thinking, but he didn't bother Xue Zha.

Therefore, for Xue Zhe, the first thing to do is to cut off Jack's strength first.

It's like cutting off his limbs first, so that he can't easily escape, in this way, even if Jack's strength is outstanding, if there is only one person, he won't be able to set off any big waves.

Then, when all of Jack's men are eliminated, and at the same time he is forced to a dead end, so that not only will he not retreat, but will continue to move forward.

As the overlord of this sea, Jack could not tolerate being trapped on an island like a trapped beast, and for him, there was no difference between waiting for death.

So, Jack had to take a gamble.

When the people he sent out were killed, bitten and devoured by the sea beasts, the figure continued to lengthen, and Jack's eyes became extremely gloomy.

His original plan was to rely on his men to clear the way and attract the attention of the sea beasts so that he could take advantage of the chaos to escape.

To put it bluntly, it was to use everyone as bait to attract the attention of the sea beasts, and Jack took advantage of the chaos to leave.

But he didn't know that Xue Zhe had used potions to attract so many sea beasts, and the madness of these sea beasts was stimulated, and he had no ability to think at all, so how could he give him a chance to escape.

They will tear apart all living things that come before their eyes until the potion is effective.

But Jack is a man who likes to take risks and chances, and even if his subordinates don't give him enough time, he won't wait where he is.

This point happened to be taken advantage of by Xue Zhe again, adventurous people will not be satisfied with the status quo, and waiting for the place to do nothing is something they will not do, so Jack will definitely appear, even if he is the only one left.

I saw pirates pouring out around the island, some boating, some using idioms, and some diving to leave.

But without exception, they all died under the attack of the sea beast, and even some people died on the spot just by the attack of the sea beast element.

Xue Zha looked at the Shura-like scene in front of him, a little unbearable, he just wanted Jack's life alone, and he didn't want to involve so many people.

So, he suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, turned his back against the side of the boat, and raised his head to look up at the starry sky.

"Is the sea so cruel? Either you die or I die?

A strange thought suddenly appeared in Xue Zhe's mind, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, throwing the ridiculous thought out of his mind.

This is not a problem that he can think about now, what he has to do now is to get rid of Jack, and then let Tang Long'er recover the pirates in this sea area, and finally, use Tang Long'er's power to hunt more sea beasts and complete his mission.

In this way, he can get more resources to return to the Holy Island, and at the same time, he can see Pan Xiaolian earlier.

Tang Long'er seemed to notice Xue Zha's displeasure, she walked up to Xue Zha, handed him a cup of hot tea, and asked softly.

"What's the matter? You seem a little unhappy? Can't bear to kill so many people?"

Tang Long'er tilted her head and looked at Xue Zha, quite a little girl's playfulness.

Xue Zha took the hot tea from her hand, glanced at her, took a deep breath and did not speak.

The smile on Tang Long'er's face retracted, and he pursed his lips slightly.

"Actually, you don't have to feel guilty, those pirates don't do anything evil that they don't do, they didn't die innocently, you can be regarded as helping many people take revenge, each of those pirates has blood on their hands, they are all murderers, and they never blink when they kill!"

Tang Long'er raised his fist and waved, an expression of indignation on his face.

"If I had that strength, I would also kill them, on this sea, there shouldn't be such people, you may not know, Captain Jack has rules for accepting people, he doesn't accept pirates who haven't killed anyone, the more people he kills, the higher the position he gives." ”

Tang Long'er seemed to be afraid that Xue Zhe would not believe it, and said a piece of news that would make him feel better.

"Okay, don't persuade me, in fact, I have killed many more people than you think, but ...... Well, I'm a little tired of killings and fearless sacrifices. ”

Xue Zha took a sip of hot tea, shook his head gently, and looked at Tang Long'er with deep eyes.

"No matter who it is, even if he is a murderer or a murderer, he is still a person after all, at sea, there is no power to fight back against such creatures as sea beasts, why would they be pirates? Is it because they like to kill, no, I can tell you clearly, no one is born to kill, they are all forced......"

Xue Zha sighed softly, turned around again, put his arms on the side of the boat, and looked in the direction of the island.

At this time, all the pirates who wanted to leave the island had been torn apart by the sea beasts, and the thick smell of blood wafted on the surface of the sea, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was sea beasts or human blood.

"If at sea, human beings can balance the sea beasts with their own strength, the pirates will not appear, they can't beat the sea beasts, so they can only rob, rob ordinary people, rob ordinary people, and even rob the resources of other pirates, because they are very poor, and in order to live, they must do this. ”

The corners of Xue Zhe's mouth hooked slightly, as if he saw that Captain Jack had pulled the few remaining people to set up the boat and prepare to leave.

"I don't know everything about the sea, but from my observation during this time, I can see that sea beasts are far more ferocious and cruel than humans, and how small and humble many people are before them. ”

Xue Zha took another sip of hot tea, exhaled softly, turned sideways and handed the teacup back to Tang Long'er.

He didn't explain it, and it wasn't until this moment that he could figure out why the people of the Holy House would issue missions to hunt sea beasts, or why the Holy Ship would always go to sea so often.
