Chapter 695 Blood Skull
"Pirate ship? What pirate ship?" Some people were confused.
Some people said disdainfully: "You don't even know this? Pirates are evil monks who specialize in robbing, killing and stealing treasures on the sea. The spiritual ships they usually take are pirate ships."
Qingyang also knows something about the pirates on the outer sea, because the outer sea is vast and not as closely connected as the monks on the mainland. There are countless islands in the sea, and there are many suitable places for monks to live. You can't find them even if you hide in a place. It is a holy place for evil monks.
Many monks who like to get something for nothing, cruel, evil and murderous evil monks, or monks who have offended people and can't make it in other places, like to run to the outer sea. As more and more monks gather, they gradually form a powerful force. They form groups to go out to kill people, steal treasures, rob and rob on the road. They are called pirates by monks passing by. For example, the one-eyed dragon Leng Yu, who Qingyang met before, and the soul-catching Sang Fan, have all been pirates on the outer sea.
When the spirit ship sails in the open sea, in addition to preventing attacks from monsters, pirates are also a kind of disaster that must be guarded against, because the pirates in the open sea are generally composed of evil cultivators. They are cruel and bloodthirsty. Once they fall into the hands of pirates, it is difficult to survive.
Compared with the number of monsters, the number of pirates in the open sea is very small, and it is generally difficult to encounter them. Unexpectedly, this time, the pirates came right after repelling the attack of the monsters. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or they are not lucky enough.
The spirit ship is getting closer and closer to everyone. At this time, they understand why Manager Zhao recognized it as a pirate ship, because at the front of the spirit ship, there is a conspicuous flag hanging, and on the flag, there is a blood-red skull embroidered. What else can it be if it is not a pirate ship?
In a blink of an eye, the pirate ship is less than a hundred feet away from everyone, but he has no intention of stopping, and he actually rushed directly towards the crowd. The cultivator does not have the strong physique of the monster. If he is hit head-on by the pirate ship, he will lose half his life if he does not die. The monks present were immediately thrown into chaos by the impact of the spirit ship and fell everywhere.
Only then did the pirate ship stop, the light curtain fell, and a group of monks stood on the bow, looking down at the monks in the sea.
Qingyang glanced at it and saw that there were hundreds of foundation-building monks on the pirate ship, including more than 20 in the middle stage of foundation-building, and five or six pirates in the late stage of foundation-building, which was higher than the proportion among the passengers. There were hundreds of minions behind the spirit ship, all of them in the Qi Refining Stage.
The leader was a perfect foundation-building monk, whose strength was no worse than that of Qian Zhushi. I don’t know if the monk practiced a special technique or what, but his head was only skin and bones, and his head was bald, without even a hair. Coupled with the blood-red face, it looked like a red skull on his head from a distance.
The strength of this group of pirates is about the same as theirs. If it was before the monster attacked, everyone still had a chance to win. Now they have just experienced a fierce battle, most of the people are still injured, and Qian is unconscious. There is almost no chance of winning.
What Qingyang can see, then Manager Zhao can also judge. Qian is unconscious, he can only bite the bullet and step forward a few steps, standing in front of the pirate ship. Manager Zhao clasped his fists and said: "I don't know how to address you fellow Taoists. What are you doing here?"
The bald monk crossed his arms and looked down at Manager Zhao. A sneer appeared on his face and said: "I am Blood Skull. Isn't it a question that you know the answer to? What else can we pirates do here? Of course, it's killing people, stealing treasures, and robbing on the road."
As soon as the bald monk said this, the pirates on both sides echoed and laughed, as if the boss's words were really so ridiculous. Another manager was so angry that his face turned red. He obviously had never heard of the bloody skeleton. He pointed at the bloody skeleton and said angrily: "My Wantong Pavilion has been active in the outer sea for hundreds of years, and no pirate has ever been so bold. Daoist friend is so confident. Do you think you can defeat us? Aren't you afraid of revenge from Wantong Pavilion?"
"What is Wantong Pavilion? This outer sea is the world of us pirates. After getting what we want, we can hide anywhere. Where can you find us? If we are afraid of revenge, what are we doing as pirates?" said a yellow-faced late-stage foundation-building pirate.
"Hahahaha... It's really funny. You don't even look at where we are. You actually use Wantong Pavilion to suppress us." said a black-faced late-stage foundation-building cultivator.
The white-faced monk next to him laughed and said, "Is this guy mentally retarded? Hahahaha..."
After his subordinates had teased for a while, the bloody skeleton waved his hand and looked at Manager Zhao and said, "Before we came, we were only 50% sure. Now you have just had a melee with the red-tailed sea scorpion and suffered heavy casualties. Our confidence has increased to 100%. How can we not do it?"
When Manager Zhao heard the other party mention the red-tailed sea scorpion, his heart moved and he couldn't help but ask, "How could it be so coincidental? Did you attract the red-tailed sea scorpion?"
Then Blood Skull sneered, "The manager is right. We are the ones who invited the red-tailed sea scorpions. If it weren't for the red-tailed sea scorpions leading the charge, we might have to think about it."
The other party fell into the trap of his boss. The yellow-faced pirate next to him was proud and said proudly, "To tell you the truth, our boss always plans before taking action. We have been eyeing you since you entered this sea area. We set a trap here in advance and waited for you to fall into it. Now you have been ambushed and you can't escape even if you have wings."
"I advise you to surrender obediently, so as not to waste your time and effort. Maybe I will consider leaving you with an intact body." The black-faced pirate also laughed.
The other party was obviously well prepared, and things were really difficult to deal with. Since they couldn't win, Manager Zhao could only compromise and said, "Fellow Daoist Blood Skull, although our group fought with the Red Tailed Sea Scorpion, we didn't lose much strength. If we fight to the death, it's still uncertain who will win or lose. Even if you can win in the end, it will definitely be a miserable victory. Daoist fellow, you came here just to seek money. It's not worth it to fight to the death and damage your strength. Why don't we each take a step back and I will give you some compensation. How about you stop fighting and let us go?"
The Blood Skull seemed to have expected Manager Zhao to say this. After Manager Zhao finished speaking, he casually asked, "It's okay to buy your life with compensation. How much can you give us?"
Manager Zhao said, "You often travel on the sea, and you should also know that my Wantong Pavilion makes a living by picking up and dropping off guests on the sea. I don't have many spirit stones on me. In view of your hard work, I will take out 5,000 spirit stones as your hard work fee. How about it?"
