Chapter 296 Octopus King's Counterattack

Blai Island, another island on the route from Turtle Island to Bone Island, is also the only way to Bone Island.

At this moment, there are five fully armed ships hidden on the back of Blai Island.

These are one of the scattered troops of the Divine Right of the King. They have just received the news from the Emperor and were ordered to ambush the Ghost Captain here.

"Attention, all teams, a three-masted sailing ship appeared half a mile ahead..."

At this time, the voice of the scout came from the communication of everyone.

"Are you sure it is the Ghost Captain's ship?"

"Confirmed!"

"How many?"

"Only one!"

"Okay, everyone, act immediately and be sure to intercept the other party..."

...

As the commander of the team gave orders, the five ships sailed out of the island together, lined up on the side of Blai Island, and forcibly blocked the sailing route of the three-masted sailing ship in front.

"Attention, there is fog ahead!"

However, just when everyone was in place and had no time to open fire, someone reported the changes on the sea ahead.

A thick layer of fog suddenly rose up, covering the three-masted sailing ship in front, and quickly spread in their direction.

"It's thick fog again, fortunately we made preparations in advance!"

"Everyone, be serious, guard your own defense range to prevent the other party from sneaking through, prepare the fog-breaking mirror..."

Faced with the sudden white fog, everyone did not panic. After all, it was something they had seen before. Last time, they suffered a great loss. After returning, they had of course prepared a response method.

The fog-breaking mirror is a special prop for navigation in the sea area of ​​the Star Spirit Realm. It looks like a monocular telescope and is specially used to break the fog at sea. Through the lens, you can directly see the scene behind the fog.

At this moment, two scouts on the five ships took out the fog-breaking mirror at the same time and looked into the fog.

"We found the other ship and it is still on the original route!"

The first message came quickly through telepathy.

However, the next news from the investigation began to go astray.

"Huh? The other side seems to be speeding towards us..."

"What's going on? Does he want to collide with us?"

...

Generally speaking, the other side creates fog to escape while confusing the enemy. Who hides in the fog and still sails straight on the original route? It seems that they are planning to have a mindless physical collision with them.

"It doesn't matter. Let him collide if he wants to. Keep your positions and continue to investigate!" The commander made a prompt decision.

If the other side really wants to trade one for one with them, that's a good thing. Not to mention one for one, even if they use all five ships here to exchange one of the other side's ships for sinking, it is definitely worth it.

"No! The other side doesn't seem to be a single ship. There are other ships following behind..." At this time, the exclamation of the investigators suddenly came from the speech.

"How many people are there?"

"I don't know, I can't see clearly... Wait, there seem to be other ships!"

"What's going on?"

"There are at least three ships in the white fog now, no, four... that's not right..."

At this moment, from the perspective of the investigators, through the light of the fog-breaking mirror, in the fog on the opposite side, the original three-masted sailing ship has become three ships at some point, and the three ships are rushing side by side.

However, this is not over yet, and then more and more ships began to emerge from the sea.

These ships seemed to have emerged from the water, one after another, arranged around the original three-masted sailing ship, guarding it tightly, and rushing towards the direction of the crowd's front at a high speed.

"Ten, ten ships!"

"The other side has a total of ten ships, and they are all large pirate ships!"

The surprised voice of the investigators rang in the team communication channel.

"What a joke?" The person in charge of command was a little incredible.

All the intelligence they have obtained so far shows that the ghost captain has not joined forces with other players. Moreover, they just saw with their own eyes that the other party had only one ship coming over alone. How come it suddenly became ten ships?

At this time, not only the command personnel were down, but others also started to beat the drums. The situation was originally five to one, but it instantly became ten to five. They were actually crushed in numbers, not to mention that one of them was a ship commanded by a legendary master. How could they fight?

Everyone was anxiously waiting for new command orders, but before they could get the new orders, a dragon roar sounded above their heads.

"Roar!"

The roar was like thunder, raising layers of sound waves on the sea, and the deafening sound instantly spread throughout the battlefield.

Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a black dragon with a wingspan of nearly 100 meters, penetrating the white fog, soaring up, and hovering above their heads.

The black dragon's back was as thick as a mountain, its wings were as wide as clouds, and its broad body almost covered the sky. The violent airflow was lifted by the dragon wings, causing huge waves on the sea.

Everyone was shocked to see this scene. Many people had heard of the name of the dragon, but it was the first time they had actually seen it. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a while.

This was not only the shock brought by the size, but also the dragon's might that came in their faces, which made everyone even forget to resist for a while.

"Not good, disperse quickly!"

The commander reacted quickly and changed the order in a hurry.

Unfortunately, it was still a step late.

After circling for a week, the black dragon hovered over the ship in the middle, raised its neck, opened its huge mouth, and spewed out a mouthful of liquid flame downwards!

Although there was only one bite, this was only relative to the size of the dragon. In fact, this bite of fire was enough to completely cover a ship below.

The hot airflow came overwhelmingly, and the sea surface below suddenly burned into a sea of ​​fire!

The high temperature instantly burned the main body of the ship, and countless people screamed and jumped into the sea to escape.

The players from the nearby ships fought back, but they were easily blown away by the airflow raised by the dragon's wings. Even if they occasionally hit, they didn't hurt the solid dragon skin.

However, this was just the prelude to the battle.

Immediately afterwards, human shouts rang out in the fog, and several warships rushed out of the thick fog one after another, crashing directly into the five ships on the opposite side. The ship formation of the divine right of the king was instantly cut apart, and the scene was full of people and horses.

After the collision, a large number of people dressed as pirates jumped onto the players' ships, with a grim smile, waving weapons and began to burn, kill and loot.

Players had never seen such a battle before. The defenses on the five ships almost collapsed in one blow when they were engaged in close combat with enemies that were several times their number...

Tens of seconds later, Tianzi and others who were dozens of miles away received the news: the five warships of Bly Island were all sunk within one minute of the battle!

"So fast?" The ten people present were all stunned.

At this time, they had just broken out of the underwater prison and came to the surface of Turtle Island, and were rushing towards the port.

As a result, they received the news of their defeat on the way, and they were all quite surprised: after all, there were five ships and one or two hundred people, while the other side had only one ship. Even if the ghost captain was powerful, it was impossible for him to wipe them out so quickly, right?

"What happened?" Wei Xiao hurriedly looked at Tianzi, he knew that Tianzi should have received a more detailed battle report.

Tianzi sighed and shook his head and said: "The other side got the help of the Dragon Knight Pirates..."

Just this one explanation was enough, and the others looked at each other and showed a look of wonder.

The Dragon Riders were one of the best local pirate forces in the Ghost Sea, and they were not inferior to them in terms of scale or combat power at sea.

They wanted to intercept this level of pirate group at sea with only five ships and one or two hundred people, which was simply a pipe dream!

As for why the other party was able to get the help of the Dragon Riders... this was also easy to guess: because Captain Ghost completed the prison escape bounty of the Dragon Riders.

And getting the support of the Dragon Riders was one of the rewards for completing the bounty.

"It seems that this matter was a scam from beginning to end..." smiled and shook his head.

According to the current situation, the collaborator mentioned by Jack had obviously turned to Captain Ghost a long time ago. Captain Ghost had been secretly planning this matter from the beginning, first misleading Jack, then passing on wrong information to them through Jack's mouth, and finally inducing the meeting place in the special environment of the underwater prison.

The most important reason why they were all deceived was that no one could have expected that the ghost captain would be able to break through the defense system of the underwater prison, and he did all kinds of outrageous things in the prison without being discovered by the octopus king.

"Too insidious!"

Others also cursed in their hearts, but they could do nothing about it, because in the final analysis, he still had the ability to surpass everyone's expectations and dared to do whatever he wanted under the eyes of the octopus king. They could not refuse to accept this.

"Let all the people along the way withdraw to the White Bone Island." The emperor spoke at this time.

With the escort of the Dragon Rider Pirates, the defense lines they arranged along the way would all become a tactic of adding fuel. Going up would be a delivery. It would be better to gather together quickly and have a big group battle at the last line of defense, and there would be a chance to delay the opponent's pace.

Others had no objection. After the order was quickly issued, the group hurried to the port and took a boat to the sea. At present, the defense is empty, and the most important thing is that they have to rush to the front line as soon as possible.

…

Above the sea, the huge black dragon still hovered in the sky, like a navigator, leading the fleet below.

“It’s really cool…”

Mu You stood on the deck, looking at the giant dragon in the sky, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, wondering when his two-headed dragon could be pulled out for a stroll…

Of course, this day is not far away, because at this time he has received the dragon taming stone given by the Dragon Rider Pirates, and this time he will start hatching dragon eggs.

“Is that all?”

On the ship next to him, Finn, the captain of the Dragon Rider Pirates, shouted to Mu You.

“Don’t tell me that you hired us just to deal with this kind of idiot enemy!”

Finn thought that the other party had gone to such great lengths to recruit their pirate group even if they went to the underwater prison to make a fuss, and the goal must at least be to deal with an evenly matched force.

Before setting off this time, Finn was ready for a bloody battle. The result… is this?

Finn could tell at a glance that the people on the five ships were all foreigners with no experience in naval warfare. For an opponent of this level, even if they only had one ship, let alone all their main forces, it would be enough to easily defeat the opponent.

So Finn was very disappointed. If it was just an opponent of this level, any ordinary pirate group would be enough to deal with it. It was really a waste of talent to specially let their Dragon Rider Pirate Group deal with such a rookie.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning, there are still many opponents ahead." Mu You said.

He had never thought that the gap between players and real local pirates in naval warfare was so big. The battle scene just now could be described as "crushing with withered and rotten". The emperor's men were almost killed as soon as they met, and they were in a state of running for their lives, and they had no intention of fighting at all.

"Woo woo..."

When Mu You wanted to say something, a long and loud roar suddenly came from the sea behind him.

This voice was so familiar that Mu You had heard it at least twice and would never make a mistake: This was the voice of the octopus king!

"Look behind!"

At this time, someone from the Dragon Knight Pirates screamed.

Everyone looked back and saw that in the direction they came from, about dozens of miles away, that is, the location of Turtle Island, an extremely huge octopus head floated out of the water, followed by eight claws and the octopus body, which climbed onto the island one by one.

Tens of seconds later, a complete giant octopus climbed out of the water and stood on the island.

The octopus was as tall as a mountain, with a pair of blue eyes opening from its dark skin, looking down at all the creatures below.

After a few seconds, the octopus king seemed to feel something, opened his mouth, looked up to the sky and roared an angry roar. The thunderous roar rolled over, shaking the entire evil spirit sea.

"This guy woke up so quickly..." Looking at the arrogant octopus figure in the distance, Mu You frowned secretly. Before he left, he left more than ten cans of high-quality sleeping potion, thinking that the octopus king could sleep for at least half a day, but he didn't expect that it would wake up in less than a few dozen minutes...

It seems that using too much magic potion at once can easily make the other party resistant to it.

"Tsk tsk, I have never seen the octopus king so angry. It seems that we have really offended it this time..." On the boat next to him, Finn looked at the octopus king in the distance, and his face was also solemn.

"What are you going to do next?" Mu You asked Finn.

"No way, I'll help you deal with this matter first, and then lead people to withdraw from the evil spirit sea area, and go outside to avoid the limelight first..." Finn shook his head and smiled bitterly. As for the safety of the fleet, he was not very worried. Anyway, the Octopus King could not leave the evil spirit sea area. As long as they could escape from the sea area, the Octopus King would not be able to do anything to them no matter how strong he was.

"Ship, Captain, why does the Octopus King seem to be staring at us all the time?" At this time, one of Finn's men spoke in doubt.

Mu You and Finn looked over again, and then they found that the Octopus King's sight was indeed focused on their direction. Now there were dozens of miles between the two sides, and there were all kinds of fog blocking in the middle. Their ships should be just small dots in the eyes of the Octopus King.

However, at this time, the Octopus King's sight seemed to have locked them...

Just when everyone began to have a bad premonition, the Octopus King in the distance suddenly curled up his octopus claws, like a spring, and jumped up from the Turtle Island.

This jump directly jumped to a height of several thousand meters, and then fell straight down from the height.

The giant creature, several thousand meters long, fell straight into the sea from a height of several thousand meters. The consequences can be imagined.

"Plop..."

The octopus king smashed into the sea like a cannonball, and immediately set off a tsunami several hundred meters high on the spot, spreading rapidly around the point of landing.

Not only that, after the octopus king fell into the water, he quickly jumped up again and repeated the previous action.

Tsunamis began to emerge one after another, one wave higher than the other.

Mu You, Finn and others were all stunned. Was the octopus king really furious and planned to turn the entire sea upside down?

"Damn, start the boat!"

Seeing the tsunami coming at a high speed, Finn hurriedly ordered the fleet to speed up and run away, and Mu You immediately adjusted the course of the Ghost and moved forward at full speed.

A tsunami of several hundred meters is enough to flatten all the ships and islands on the sea. More importantly, this is a combination of punches. If they withstand a few more waves of tsunamis, I am afraid that all the ships will be dismembered on the spot.
