Chapter 42: Unfathomable

"Pirates?"

As soon as they heard these five words, everyone at the scene, except for Zhang Fan and the black-robed old man, exchanged glances with each other, and their faces changed.

After Zhang Fan came to this world, this was the first time he left Wu'an City, and before that, he had never heard of any pirate pirates.

Shouldn't the pirates be waves in the sea?

Where are the pirates in the sky?

Hehe, return the pirate group!

I'm still a Straw Hat Pirates!

Zhang Fan silently spit out in his heart.

Turning his head to look out the window, a huge black shadow flew by, and on the back of the black shadow, there was a man in white, who happened to be looking into the window.

Zhang Fan made contact with his eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

However, all this happened too quickly, only in an instant, before Zhang Fan could react, the black shadow had disappeared.

And at this time, all the thoughts of the black-robed old man had already been completely attracted by the fragrant hot pot.

"It smells so good!"

It didn't seem to notice the surprised eyes of the people around him, the old man in the black robe picked up a pair of chopsticks casually, no matter who used it, he scooped up the leftovers in the hot pot, and ate them with relish, and his somewhat shriveled face was full of intoxication.

Zhang Fan didn't know that in the Great Qin Emperor Dynasty, the Heavenly Pirate Group was also a well-known existence, and ordinary people talked about it.

Three years ago, the Heavenly Pirate Pirates suddenly appeared and rose, covering almost a radius of hundreds of miles near the Wolong Mountain Range.

The Wolong Mountains were the only way for the seven princes of the Great Qin Dynasty to go to the imperial capital, including Wu'an County.

As the name suggests, the Pirates are a group of bandits whose main business is to plunder in the air, and all pirates skillfully control the ferocious griffin beasts to cross the void, specializing in plundering individuals or groups that pass through the sky above the Wolong Mountains.

After all, those who can fly to their destinations on flying beasts are by no means ordinary people, either rich or expensive.

In addition, it is high in the sky, traveling back and forth, but once it falls into the trap of the pirate group, it is difficult to escape, so it has been successful repeatedly, and almost never missed.

However, the reason why the Pirate Pirates are so talked about is because of their cruel methods of not leaving half alive after each raid.

Even the Alchemy Guild Qinglu in Wu'an City had been robbed by the Heavenly Pirate Group.

One day two years ago, the mercenary group that Qinglu escorted the medicinal herbs back to the city, in order to save time, rented a flying beast, but who knew that he encountered the pirate group halfway.

After the fierce battle, a mercenary group of forty-nine people was finally wiped out, and the bones were gone, and even the precious medicinal materials worth millions of gold coins in Qinglu were looted by the pirate group.

Lin Yuan, the head of Qinglu, was furious, and immediately awarded a million reward, vowing to exterminate the Heavenly Pirates.

However, the Heavenly Pirates were hidden deep in the Wolong Mountain Range, like a feather flying in the sky and sinking into the sea, and there was nowhere to find it, so the matter could only be closed in the end.

After this battle, the Heavenly Pirate Pirates suddenly became famous, and many merchants even preferred to detour rather than pass through the Wolong Mountains.

In fact, long before setting off, Su Zhe had already expected this.

However, Zhang Fan didn't want to delay too much time on this trip, so in order to save the trip, Su Zhe finally decided to let Zhang Fan and the others pass through the Wolong Mountains.

also wants to deter the Heavenly Pirate Pirates, so Su Zhe will activate the Void Throne.

As we all know, in the Great Qin Dynasty, the Void Throne was a symbol of the power of the two emperors, five kings and nine marquis.

What I didn't expect was that the pirate group was so bold and dared to come to besiege it in broad daylight.

You must know that with the power of Wu'an County, it is not comparable to a Qinglu.

What's more, the people in the Void Throne are still the second sons of the Marquis of Wu'an, and the excellent successor of the future of the Wu'an County.

In this way, there is no room for error.

Recalling the earnest entrustment of his father and the doctor during the process, Long Zhan became more and more careless, and walked quickly to the window and looked out of the window.

But in the blue sky, there were indeed more than a dozen hideous and ferocious griffin beasts circling, surrounding the Void Throne, and it seemed that they would attack at any time.

"Protect the second son!"

Long Zhan immediately made a decision, turned around and shouted, "Take the Sun Bow and prepare for the battle!"

Fortunately, Su Zhe had long anticipated the various risks that might occur on the way, so these guards sent were all soldiers who had been in a hundred battles and were in danger.

Long Zhan gave an order, and the guards, who were still laughing and playing just now, suddenly seemed to have changed as if they were a different person, with a solemn and murderous expression.

"Yes!"

There was a chilling battle intent all over the body, and all the guards responded in unison.

Immediately afterwards, the eight guards immediately flashed out, holding blades, their eyes were like lightning, vigilantly guarding Zhang Fan's surroundings.

The rest of the guards followed the dragon battle and wanted to go out.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Zhang Fan say: "Dragon War, wait a minute!"

"What do you have to say about the second son?"

Long Zhan looked back and asked.

He thought that Zhang Fan might have thought of a clever plan to deal with the Heavenly Pirate Pirates, and was about to listen to it.

Zhang Fan glanced at the black-robed old man, and said lightly: "Have you ever heard of a saying, it is called 'shoot a man first and shoot a horse first, and capture a thief first and capture the king first'?"

"Capture the thief and capture the king first?"

Long Zhan was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that the second son was really ambitious, and he even served the Heavenly Pirate Group with a pot.

However, ambition is commendable, but not realistic.

The Pirate Pirates crisscrossed the Wolong Mountains, hijacking travelers and doing whatever they wanted, but no one knew who the leader of the Pirates was and what he looked like.

I don't even know the true face of the other party's Lushan, how to capture the thief and capture the king first.

"Since the leader of the Pirate Pirates is here, why bother with those little minions outside!"

Zhang Fan smiled at the black-robed old man, "Old man Sima Wuji?"

As soon as these words came out, Long Zhan couldn't help but be taken aback.

In fact, he had long thought that the black-robed old man in front of him was sudden, of unknown origin, and the most suspicious, and he should have been arrested and interrogated strictly.

But the sudden appearance of the Sky Pirate Pirates diverted his attention, and he forgot about it for a while.

What I didn't expect was that this black-robed old man who didn't look amazing was actually the leader of the Heavenly Pirate Pirates.

"Wait!"

Long Zhan suddenly thought of a question.

The leader of the Heavenly Pirate Pirates is still a mystery, why can the second son be sure that it is the black-robed old man in front of him?

Even, the second son called out the other party's name in public!

Could it be that the second son still has the magical powers of an unknown prophet?

Looking at Zhang Fan again, I saw that he was smiling, but his body seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, which made it difficult for people to see it really.

"No wonder my dad asked me to follow the second son for a long time and study with an open mind!" Long Zhan admired in his heart, "The second son is really unfathomable, and my dragon battle whip is beyond reach!"

How did he know that the reason why Zhang Fan was able to reveal the identity and name of the black-robed old man in one sentence was because he had adjusted his vision attribute to the highest.

The system's eyesight attribute is a few points more powerful than the fiery eyes of the Monkey King, no matter what kind of demon immortal god the other party is, Zhang Fan can see through all their information at a glance.

Who knows, the old man in the black robe, who didn't care about anything, listened to Zhang Fan's last words, the chopsticks in his hand suddenly stagnated, and he turned his head to stare at Zhang Fan, his eyes were like electricity.

"Y-What did you just call the old man?"

For some reason, the black-robed old man's voice suddenly became a little hurried.
