Chapter 27: Counterattack

"Where's the sound coming from?"

Said a strong pirate with a thick beard in the Jellyfish restaurant.

"Could it be seals and owls? They went to search the ship and haven't come back yet."

A pirate as thin as a bamboo pole replied.

The bearded pirate rolled his eyes and shouted at the Jellyfish crew members who were tied up in a row in the corner:

"Is there anyone else on your ship?"

The first mate shook his head, while the other crew members remained silent.

The bearded pirate frowned after hearing this, and said to the skinny pirate with an unsightly expression:

"Water Snake, you and Scorpion go take a look and bring your guns."

Upon hearing this, the skinny bamboo-stem pirate named Water Snake visibly froze.

He didn't want to go, but he was afraid of the bearded man's power, so he could only check the pistol ammunition slowly.

Then he called the stunned Scorpion, opened the back door of the restaurant, and walked into the darkness.

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

Strange and eerie sounds were still ringing regularly.

The water snake walked towards the source of the sound with his waist down, while the scorpion followed him with his gun raised.

Suddenly, after crossing a narrow door, the strange thumping sound suddenly disappeared for no reason.

But then, the water snake heard a dull sound behind him.

I hurriedly looked back, but I couldn't find the stunned Scorpion behind me.

A chill instantly rose from the tailbone.

But the next moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, the water snake saw a ray of cold light passing under his neck.

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

It seemed like it was just an insignificant episode.

Soon, strange and eerie thumping sounds began to sound regularly again.

"It's stupid to use the same method twice."

In the cramped corridor, Thea said to Li Feng silently.

Li Feng replied while tapping the corridor partition regularly with his dagger:

"But it is also the most fear-inducing in the other person."

Thea wrinkled her cat's nose and stopped talking.

According to the plan, Li Feng decided to kill the opponent's five pirates in batches.

He made regular, inhuman-sounding knocking sounds in the corridor near the restaurant to attract the pirates in the restaurant.

Then take advantage of the darkness of the corridor and the unique narrow and twisty terrain to kill the opponent one by one.

It really works the first time you use it.

With the enemy overtly and ourselves covertly, the two pirates were quickly killed by Li Feng's knife.

Now, there are only 3 people left on the other side. Li Feng tries to figure out the other side's psychology and plans to repeat the same trick.

The dark corridor, the strange knocking sounds that are very regular and not artificial, two groups of companions who never return...

Li Feng judged that the other party was now suspicious, even fearful.

But without stopping, the ghostly knocking sound made the other party unable to ignore it.

There are suspiciously strange things around them, but few people can ignore them and not explore them.

Because everyone has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

When unknown things linger around us, humans will first feel danger, and their next step is to escape from the danger or solve the danger.

When the theory is specific to the current pirates.

Obviously, as pirates, their first choice must not be to escape from danger, but to get rid of the person who caused the danger.

But once they did this, they fell into Li Feng's trap.

And Li Feng now chooses to repeat his old tricks, which is to deepen the opponent's sense of fear and danger.

He judged that two pirates would come together next.

Since the crew of the Jellyfish was locked up in the dining room, there must be a pirate staying behind.

And with four companions having died inexplicably, the pirate who stayed behind would most likely be the leader among them, the leader of this group of pirates.

Likewise, it should be the most difficult one to deal with.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

In the darkness, Thea moved her ears. She looked at Li Feng and tilted her head:

"Two more."

Li Feng nodded. He looked towards the entrance of the corridor and saw a faint light changing from dark to bright.

As expected, the two pirates who came for the second time had made more preparations than their predecessors.

This time, one of them held an oil lamp and the other held a shotgun, so they had some cooperation.

only.

Like the pirates who came for the first time, when they were about to reach a fork in the road, the pirate who was walking in front holding a shotgun was killed by Li Feng from the side.

But the one in the back holding an oil lamp, Li Feng, avoided a fatal blow.

Only when the man panicked, he stabbed him in the back.

"ah!"

There were screams one after another.

Sure enough, the pirate who was stabbed in the back panicked, threw away the oil lamp and ran to the restaurant.

Seeing Li Feng deliberately let him go, Thea, who had been sitting high in the corridor, couldn't help but tilt her cat's head.

She didn't understand why the human was doing this and was trying to suppress her curiosity.

‘This is none of my business. ’

But when she saw Li Feng following the pirate to the restaurant, she couldn't help but jumped to the ground out of curiosity, then adjusted her posture and followed far behind with an elegant cat walk.

‘Forget it, after all, the excitement is for free, I’ll just take a look at it reluctantly. ’

However, the next moment, Thea's elegant catwalk froze.

Because she saw that the injured pirate broke open the side door of the restaurant, but what awaited him was not rescue by his companions, but three consecutive shots.

The last pirate who stayed in the restaurant shot at the door in panic out of fear.

He probably didn't expect that the fourth companion would come back alive when three companions went without returning.

He thought that the first to open the door would be an unknown enemy.

But his real enemy used his companions as a human shield and dodged three shots directly.

And in the moment of his surprise, he rushed towards him at a speed obviously different from that of ordinary people.

Xia knew that the last pirate was dead.

Even if he had a ferocious beard on his face and looked muscular and strong.

Even if he dropped his gun now and ran towards the other side door of the restaurant.

But Xia knew that he was dead.

It was just a matter of dying inside or outside the restaurant.

'Hey, this human won again, so boring. '

Xia walked into the restaurant and looked at the crew tied in a corner.

Huh? Why are they unhappy and worried?

And where is Captain John?

Doubts arose in Thea's heart.

But before she had time to think about it, she heard a "bang" beside her.

Turning her head, it turned out to be the last pirate who knocked open another side door of the restaurant and rolled into the restaurant storage room.

At the same time, the guy who called himself Rhine Lee also entered the storage room and stabbed the pirate's neck with a dagger.

Looking at this scene, Thea curled her lips.

'I said, it's just the difference between dying in the restaurant and dying in the storage room. '

But the next moment.

A stream of air surged from the storage room, shocking Thea so much that her hair stood on end.

That stream of air was nothing else but extraordinary fluctuations, and it was an extremely strong extraordinary fluctuation.

How could it be possible? All seven pirates were dead, how could there be extraordinary people?

No! We were deceived!

There are more than seven pirates, and there are extraordinary people among them!

Thea jumped up and ran towards the storage room.
