Chapter 22 Fire Ice
Night sailing is much more dangerous than day sailing. Although you can use the stars in the sky to navigate, your vision is limited by the night and you can't see far, so you can easily encounter some accidents. For Xiao Tianlei, it is basically not a problem. After using the Ice Sagittarius template, you have night vision ability. Day and night are not much different for him.
Xiao Tianlei chose to set sail at night to use the cover of the night to get rid of those malicious people. However, he was already targeted. As soon as he left Haishi, some ships were chasing him.
A sea ship carrying a large number of gold and silver and lonely is simply a fatal temptation, enough to make many people desperate. The dark night is nothing. Moreover, most of these people are familiar with this sea area. It is difficult to sail in the dark night. The only obstacle is the field of vision. Therefore, these ships tightly grasped the Conch and reached a tacit understanding to form a pocket-like encirclement. So, they were about to put the Conch into their pockets.
Just when these pursuers were secretly happy and thought that the ship was full of gold and silver waved to them, the main sail of a ship ignited a fire, followed by another one, which also ignited a fire. The pursuers were a little confused. Before they could figure out the reason, all the pursuers were hit, floating in the sea like river lanterns. When they looked at the fat sheep, they suddenly accelerated and left. The pursuers realized they were being tricked! They were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but what could they do? The sails and canvas were all covered with oil. Once the fire caught, they would burn quickly. Without the main sail, they would lose most of their motivation, so naturally they could not pursue them again. The most important thing for them was to put out the fire quickly, otherwise the whole ship would ignite the chance of survival of the people on the ship.
Of course, Xiao Tianlei ignited the main sails of these chasing ships. He shot his homemade rockets onto the main sails of these ships. He added powerful combustion powder to the rockets, which could ignite the sails in one go. The other party would not have thought that someone could have such accurate archery skills in the dark night.
When the Conch left for a distance, it would be difficult for those people to find the Conch again, unless they had radar or satellite positioning, or had eyes like Xiao Tianlei. However, Xiao Tianlei underestimated these people. After the Conch took a distance, he encountered some intercepted ships. He guessed that it was probably the people from Haishi who were informed by flying pigeons and other letters. These people were familiar with hydrology and naturally knew where the necessary path was. If it was daytime, the Conch would definitely be intercepted by these ships. If it was daytime, the Conch would be blocked by these ships. If it was daytime, the Conch would be able to climb a high point on the sea, and you could see hundreds of miles. However, this was night, and it was amazing that one or two hundred meters could be seen by a person.
In order to intercept the Conch, these people also squandered a lot of their thoughts and manpower. They came dozens of ships of all sizes and small to form a large net around them. However, compared with Xiao Tianlei, they were like blind people. All the lights on the Conch were turned off. Xiao Tianlei directed the Conch and passed through the gaps in the large net formed by these ships.
After breaking away from the interception circle, under the cover of night, the people on the Conch began to change their original outfits. Some of the Conch structures also changed back to their original style, changed their flags, circled around, and sailed towards the direction of Qionghai, Lingzhou.
At this point, it can be considered as basically out of pursuit. However, Xiao Tianlei did not relax his vigilance and still kept the entire ship ready. As a result, the whole day of the next day was calm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It should be considered as getting rid of those who were malicious, and perhaps leading many pirates in another direction.
It can be said that Xiao Tianlei played those people beautifully, but he was actually quite unhappy. He came out to sell something like a thief, sneaking and sneaking, making some hard money. I don’t know how many people are jealous, and ********** wants to steal you and want your life.
However, now is not the time to sigh. This place is still in the South China Sea. Even if it is redesigned, the Conch is still facing the threat of pirates.
The next two days, the Conch tried to avoid other ships as much as possible, even if it was so careful, it was still targeted by a wave of pirates.
During the day, you can see far away on the sea surface, but some islands block the view. Pirate ships like to hide in some reefs and behind the islands. Once merchant ships are found, they will suddenly break out. Often, multiple pirate ships cooperate to form an encirclement.
Xiao Tianlei saw these pirate ships traveling from several directions, and they were all clutches. Pirates basically had their own territory. This area of sea should be the territory of Hailong Island. Some information can be heard on the sea market, including about Hailong Island. The pirates on Hailong Island are very fierce, with many masters. They have unified a large area of sea areas, with thousands of ships of all sizes and large numbers under their jurisdiction, and their leader also called himself the Sea Dragon King.
There were only seven or eight sea boats surrounding it, most of which were just medium-sized ships. Perhaps there were some intercepted ships ahead, so the Conch might be difficult to escape, but they still had to escape and escape to a farther place, making it impossible for the other companions of the other party to support them.
After a day and night of pursuit, the next day, the distance was already very close.
The practice of dealing with pirates has been done several times. When facing actual combat, some people are nervous and some are excited. Everyone put on vine armor and took out shields, spears, crossbows, incendiary bombs, etc. The shields on both sides are turned up, and soon, they have become a sea fortress.
Xiao Tianlei chose to use the Ice Shooter template at this time, so long-range shooting can play a better role in naval battles, take care of all aspects, and save more effort.
Observe the direction of the surrounding pirate ships, adjust the speed and course of the ship. If the opponent is surrounded, he will face hard battles. He can only choose the opportunity to fight and defeat one by one, rather than wait for the opponent to catch up.
The two pirate ships crossed from both sides and shouted to ask the Conch to surrender just to seek wealth and not to harm their lives. Just like Xiao Tianlei's robbery, only a ghost would believe it. However, it gradually slowed down and pretended to surrender.
After a while, the two pirate ships were already very close. If Xiao Tianlei used the rocket again, it would soon lose power for the two ships. However, if this method has been used in Haishi, if it is used again, once it is spread, wouldn't it be seen?
"put!"
The two pirate ships were about ten meters apart. The propeller on the Conch shot out incendiary bombs. The propeller was transformed and was much easier to use than the originally simple catapult. The few people in charge practiced many times. At such a close distance, they would not miss it. The wind at sea was strong, and the poisonous smoke would be blown away at once, so the incendiary bombs were cast with tinder oil. However, some materials were added to it, and some poisonous smoke could still be released.
Several shots were shot out in succession, and the incendiary bombs fell on the deck and shattered violently, sputtering some tincture oil, spreading quickly on the deck, igniting other flammable objects. The pirates worked for a while and could not extinguish them. The two ships quickly burned into fireboats, and the pirates abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea.
The existence of the incendiary bomb made pirates in other directions have some concerns and slowed down a little, but one of them accelerated to catch up.
From a distance, the pirates above also raised some shields, and some of them seemed to be warriors standing on the bow. Not to mention that the shields can resist incendiary bombs to a certain extent, the warriors' reaction speed is faster than ordinary people. It is not feasible to throw incendiary bombs, and it is very easy to be blocked or even thrown back.
Because of these warriors, the morale of the pirates was high, screaming and cheering for these warriors. The warriors were also like masters, holding weapons and standing proudly on the bow of the ship.
The distance was about ten meters, and the warriors jumped up and wanted to kill the Shanghai snail.
"shoot!"
There was a wave of arrows facing us. These people had protective energy. Ordinary arrows could not cause much damage, and they could only hinder them slightly. However, Xiao Tianlei's arrows were also mixed in, and the arrows were mixed in ordinary arrows, shooting three arrows in a row, killing three people. The two of them were lucky enough to fall on the deck and were immediately besieged by Zheng Biao and others, and were hacked to death in a few strokes.
To block these warriors, the pirate ship was approaching, and the other pirates also wanted to carry water to the Conch, but it was not easy. There were sharp thorns and sharp blades on both sides of the Conch, and barely landed on the side of the ship. The pirates had just jumped to the Conch's side, and spears stabbed out from behind the shield, and they were instantly penetrated candied haws. The spear was retracted, and the pirate's corpse fell into the sea.
At this time, without the obstacles of the warriors, the few people on the Conch who were responsible for throwing incendiary bombs took a fire and ignited the fuse and threw it on the pirate ship. The deck of the pirate ship immediately became a sea of fire, and the pirates on it had to jump into the sea.
Although there were several pirates who jumped on the Conch, they were basically dead. Although these pirates were fierce, they were completely unorganized. They just rushed by courage. Although they were a group of people, they were no different from fighting alone. They were completely fighting desperately and using fierceness as weapons. When they met ordinary people, they might scare them. However, the Conch had been professionally trained. Compared with these pirates, even the difference between regular troops and bandits, the people on the Conch would not fight alone. Basically, they cooperated with each other. Therefore, it would be better to say that they were going to die than to rush up to fight desperately.
The people on the Conch have entered the state. The Conch is like a sea fortress, in a defensive state. Unless there are more than ten times the opponent's people, they cannot be captured at all. There are usually dozens of people on a pirate ship. Therefore, Xiao Tianlei is no longer worried about these pirates, mainly to minimize damage.
"If you are injured, bandage it quickly!"
"Cleaning the deck and throwing those dead people out!"
"There is a stick of incense to rest. Everyone can take a breath and replenish their strength and moisture."
Although he had training early and everyone knew what he should do, Xiao Tianlei still had to remind him that he kept issuing vague orders during the battle, and at the same time he used arrows to support everywhere.
Xiao Tianlei will not take action blindly, and try to save some physical strength and qi. If Xiao Tianlei has unlimited physical strength and qi, with the ability of the hero template, he is confident that one person can kill all these people. However, both physical strength and qi are limited, so he must be careful and save as much as possible.
There are many factors that determine the outcome of the battle, such as environment, morale, etc., but the most fundamental and direct one is like LOL games, which is essentially some cold data, which can see who is faster, more effective, more accurate, and no mistakes can be made.
Killing several pirate ships in succession seemed to have angered the group of pirates. Instead of rushing up one by one, seven or eight ships were working together to prepare to approach the Conch at the same time. At this time, the flexible maneuver of the Conch after the transformation played a role and began to circle the pirate ships.
"Prepare the Fire Dragon!"
There is a black iron pipe on each side of the conch number, which is fixed on a rack and can be rotated. There is an iron wire on the mouth of the pipe, and a ball of oil-soaked fire cotton is hung. The men behind him are holding a water-pressure well-like structure. This is a flamethrower created by Xiao Tianlei, which extracts the turbulent oil from the oil tank below, and then sprays it out after pressurization. Although it is primitive, it is enough.
The Conch went around and mobilized several pirate ships, causing their formation to chaotic for a while. The pirate ships gathered together and chased each other. At this moment, the Conch rushed towards a pirate ship. The Conch drew an arc and approached a pirate ship. Suddenly, a fire dragon of more than ten meters was sprayed out from one side.
The pirates and warriors on the ship were originally guarding against incendiary bombs, but when they came, a large area of flames came, which slashed on the deck, sails, and people. The warriors could not resist. Many people were on fire, their bodies were burning, and they screamed and jumped into the sea. The pirate ship was in chaos. The Conch took a turn and ignited several pirate ships.
The flamethrower exerted great power as soon as it appeared, and everyone cooperated properly. It was Xiao Tianlei's brothers who operated the flamethrower. At this time, the few of them looked black and were still very excited. Judging from their appearance, they wanted to find more pirate ships to enjoy.
"Save tinder oil!" Seeing that they were having a good time, Xiao Tianlei reminded that the flamethrower device was second-mostly the tinder oil sprayed. After refining and distributing, Xiao Tianlei did not provide much configuration.
Six pirate ships were burned in an instant, and the other pirate ships were afraid to pursue them. Xiao Tianlei felt that he should have scared the pirates, so he planned to leave.
"I burned my ship from Hailong Island, injured my people from Hailong Island, and wanted to escape, so I'll leave you all dead!"
A fastboat behind the sea, with some oars stretching out from both sides, like a large waterworm with long legs growing, and a thunderous sound came from a qi.
Since you come out to steal people, you must have the awareness of being killed. The pirates are so righteous, as if they have become victims. How much sin is it to kill them? You should rob them and kill them for them. You have witnessed them! However, Xiao Tianlei has always disdained to understand the ideas of such people, and ignored such people. He thought he was so awesome and whined, showing his own sense of existence? In fact, it is just a threat. As a robber, Xiao Tianlei and his friends were not scared.
The fast ship approached at a speed of dozens of meters away. A person jumped off the boat and stepped on the waves and approached at a rapid speed.
Xiao Tianlei naturally saw that he was indeed a master. He had the same bad habits as many martial artists in this world. He liked to be a hero and highlighted how powerful he was.
When martial arts reaches a certain level, it can indeed ignore the number of people to a certain extent. Therefore, people advocate personal heroes, but they ignore the miscellaneous soldiers who are much weaker than themselves and some cowards. When facing a group of people who dare to fight and kill, the master's physical strength and energy are also limited.
However, Xiao Tianlei did not intend to fight with the man on the boat. He took out a cold iron arrow from the quiver, which was an arrow generated with the ice bow, including strange gold such as cold iron, black iron, and fine gold, which had much stronger penetration power.
Staring at the master, Xiao Tianlei said to his left and right: "I'll give it to him later, and you can take the opportunity to finish it."
After a few breaths, the master chased the Shanghai snail and jumped high, and there was a wave under his feet, which was very imposing. As he was about to fall on the boat, Xiao Tianlei pulled the ice bow and took an arrow, and a crystal blue qi arrow more than two meters long appeared, emitting a hint of cold air - the ice archer's ultimate move, magic crystal arrow!
Xiao Tianlei has no reason to miss such a close distance and such a large target. Even if this person has the protection of the body, can the Ice Shooter's ultimate move be resisted casually?
Bang!
The magic crystal arrow hit the man's body, and the cold iron arrow penetrated the Qi and shot into his shoulders. At the same time, the frozen air invaded. A layer of ice formed on the surface of his body, and his whole body froze and fell onto the deck.
Several friends were quick-eyed and quick-handed, and each used all their strength to slash out. Several sword energy slashed down. This master who didn't know his name was cut into several large pieces, because the freezing effect of the magic crystal arrow was still there, and the blood did not splatter, but frozen.
There was no special treatment, and a few kids kicked the corpse into the sea to avoid dirtying the deck. A master died so frustratedly, and a naval battle came to an end. Pirates were also humans and were afraid. Even if they were fierce and desperate, they could only admit defeat when they met a real powerful character and retreated one after another. Xiao Tianlei did not dare to stay for more. After all, this place is the territory of Hailong Island. If there were another 100 or even hundreds of ships, they would definitely be doomed.
The Conch continued its voyage day and night, and left the South China Sea three days later.
After leaving the South China Sea, it is unlikely to meet a large pirate again. However, Xiao Tianlei hopes to meet a pirate. He had already thought of it and got some pirate ships on the way back. Now the Conch alone cannot meet the needs.
