Chapter 55 Hunter and Prey

On the sea, ten pirate ships were lined up in a row, and the dense cannons bloomed with bright fireworks in the dark night. There were many pirate ships cruising on the sea in the distance.

Gulu, a figure emerged from the water and boarded the largest pirate ship, the Outlaw, without any hindrance.

"Master Madman, Master Viper asked me to inform you that the landing can be carried out. The coastal defense fort on Black Market Island has been captured."

"Really? Venomous snakes are quite fast. In that case, let's get started. Although the navy is held back by the boss, it won't be good if it takes too long."

As he spoke, a bald man over two meters tall and wrapped in chains stood up from his seat.

Watching the bald man leave, a look of awe flashed in the eyes of the man who came to report him. This was the second-in-command of the Demon Pirates, a vicious pirate known as a fanatic.

Off the coast of Memphitos, a thick fog filled the sea, in which the shadow of the sail could be vaguely seen.

"Damn it, where is it?"

"I see it, northwest, 45°C angle, 100 meters, fire, fire."

A high-pitched shout came out. Although the target could not be seen, the quality of the professional navy allowed them to quickly complete the artillery aiming.

Bang bang bang, the artillery fire continued, forming a passionate war song. Unfortunately, the effect was not obvious, and there was no other gain except a huge splash of water.

The second branch of the Storm Fleet is the only fully-established navy of the Kingdom of Sutilt in the New World. It has one second-level battleship, two third-level battleships and three fourth-level battleships. It is such a powerful navy. At this moment, the fleet was blocked by a strange heavy fog and an elusive sea monster, making it difficult to move forward.

"Knight's Sword", a second-class battleship, the flagship of the Storm Fleet squadron.

"Lord Earl, what should I do now?"

On the deck, fleet commander Burns' face looked a little heavy. Although the fleet had not suffered any major losses, the purpose of this trip was already difficult to accomplish.

After hearing his words, Asim Bensain, who was wearing military uniform and should have stayed in Memphitos but appeared here for some unknown reason, withdrew his gaze and stared into the distance.

"What else can we do? We have already lost this time. I underestimated Guishou. I didn't expect that his contracted sea monster, the Minotaur Ghost Python, would be promoted to the fourth level and there would also be a war artifact."

"Send the order, the fleet will shrink its formation, guard against the sneak attack of the Minotaur Ghost Python, and wait for the thick fog to dissipate."

After saying that, Asim Bansain stopped talking, his face was solemn, and his whole body exuded a heart-stopping chill. He did not expect that he, an old hunter, would become someone else's prey today.

In the original plan, he first ordered a pirate group secretly under his control to attack the large caravan, and then used this as an excuse to mobilize the Storm Fleet, creating the illusion that Memphitos' navy was empty, and then used the black market to sell it. Barbarossa's treasure map was used as bait to lure the Demon Pirates into taking the bait.

This plan went very smoothly in the early stage, but the result was completely different. According to the plan, he would lead the fleet to wipe out the Demon Pirates, remove a cancer for the kingdom, and harvest the remaining map of Barbarossa's treasure in the hands of the ghost, but in fact On the contrary, he was like a clown, being played by ghost hands.

Thinking of this, even with Asim Bansin's cultivation, he couldn't help but burst into anger, but he was more tolerant than the black marketeer Froggan.

"Is there a mole?"

Looking at the thick fog in the distance, Asim Bansain's golden pupils flashed with cold brilliance. Although this plan is not perfect, it is not so easy to be targeted. Now the ghost hand can advance in advance. Prepare your means and block yourself here. It is very likely that you have received the news in advance.

On the edge of the fog, a pirate ship with black sails was cruising here.

This is the Oni Wail, the ship owned by Oni Tate, the captain of the Oni Pirates.

On the deck, the movements of the storm fleet were detected through the Minotaur Ghost Python. Wearing a horned hat, half of his face was burned by fire, and the devil-like ghost hands showed a mocking smile.

On Black Market Island, Sean and his group walked slowly and slowly on the island, ignoring the chaos around them. No one, whether they were pirates or people involved in the black market shooting, came close to them, because those who did so were already dead.

With his eyes wide open, as if he had discovered something interesting, Sean changed his direction and moved forward.

Seeing this scene, Sir Link didn't say anything and just followed him. In an era when fifth-level legends were not available, fourth-level was the top level of extraordinary. With Whitebeard here, even if Black Market Island was captured by pirates, they wanted to leave. It is not difficult, because although the third level is only one step away from the fourth level, extraordinary people are already inhuman to some extent when they reach the fourth level, and their numbers have basically lost their meaning to them.

"Are you ready? I'm about to go. I wonder who will die this time?"

Weird, high-pitched voices came from all directions. The great businessman Grove turned pale and broke into a cold sweat. Even under the heavy protection of his men, he did not feel the slightest sense of security.

Darkness hit, and the light seemed to be distorted at this moment. When he came back to his senses, Grove felt that his neck seemed to be licked by something, which was wet.

He reached out and touched it. It was sticky, not sweat, but more like body fluids secreted by some kind of creature. And beside him, a first-order transcendent who was protecting him had fallen to the ground at some point, his face turning purple. Death was silent.

"My lord, what do you want, whether it's a baby killer shark or something else. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."

Knowing that his own safety could no longer be guaranteed, Grove accurately grasped a glimmer of hope from the other party's teasing behavior.

"Hiss, it seems you are still a sensible person."

The strange sound sounded again, and a figure with pale skin, abnormally white skin, and a hunched body, as if he had no bones, appeared not far from Grove.

"Viper, you are the Viper of the Demon Pirates."

Seeing this strange figure, someone in Grove's team recognized its identity.

"Groff, let's discuss your matter later."

As he spoke, his neck twisted, Viper, the third in command of the Evil Pirates, used his dark yellow vertical pupils to focus on the dark area not far away.

"Looks like we've been discovered."

Without deliberately hiding, Sean and his group walked directly out of the shadows.

"Hiss, who are you? Are you also interested in sea monster cubs?"

Without taking action immediately, Viper smelled danger from Sean and his group. They were not a bastard like Grover and could be manipulated by him.

Without answering Viper's words, Sean looked at Viper's appearance up and down, and there was a trace of undisguised disgust on Sean's face.

Seeing Sean like this, the viper's eyes slowly cooled down. After becoming a third-level snake spirit guard, he gained great power but also lost something important. His whole body changed, and his living habits were like those of snakes. As a human being, what he usually hates the most is someone making fun of his appearance.

"You look really ugly like this. You don't look like a human or a ghost, especially those eyes."

"Hiss, I'm not interested in your identity now, because the identity of a dead person is meaningless."

A cold feeling spread, and murderous intent overflowed.
