Chapter 929 Rainy Night

A few more strong winds blew out of nowhere, pulling dark clouds onto the sky.

In a blink of an eye, a heavy rain came.

It can no longer be called a pouring rain, but a basin pouring - God took a big bathtub and poured it on the ground.

When it rains, the island seems to be isolated from the world, and the visibility on the water is less than 15 feet.

Yue Pinghe drank some wine, squinted for a while, and suddenly woke up at midnight and remembered something: "By the way, have Min Tianxi and the others come back?"

The men asked each other, and soon someone came to report: "I heard that they returned to dock an hour ago. The brothers on patrol saw their ship returning. Both ships returned, and the lights were bright."

Yue Pinghe raised his leg and kicked him over: "If you have any news, why don't you tell me?!"

The man covered his leg and knelt down in pain: "You, you fell asleep. I wanted to report to you tomorrow morning. It's not a big deal."

"Whether it's a big deal or not, you have the final say?" Yue Pinghe rubbed his eyes and thought, it really wasn't a big deal, so he kicked him again, "Then have they reduced their staff? The person named He has also returned?"

"They were all talking and laughing, and they looked very relaxed." The man replied with a grimace. "There was a young man standing on the bow of the boat. He looked less than twenty years old, but Master Huang, Master Min and a few men looked fierce. All the guys are standing behind him. It should be the one named He."

The news that Yangshan Islands has a new owner has recently spread in Blade Port. At first, everyone rolled their eyes at the joke, but now they have removed the label of "big wronged" on the new island owner and replaced it with "unfathomable".

Because there are rumors spreading everywhere, saying that the two groups of pirates who roam the Yangshan Islands have actually joined the new island owner!

People who heard the rumor at first said: Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could a young migrant easily overcome a theft problem that even the government was unable to resolve?

This is unreasonable.

Even if the pirates who came to report did not recognize He Lingchuan, looking at his appearance and the attitude of the two pirate leaders towards him, they could guess that it was He Lingchuan, the legendary new island owner.

"Is there really nothing Yin Fei can do against him?" There are many legends about this new island owner, and the most widely circulated one is that he can drive away evil spirits. But no matter how many times I hear this kind of news, Yue Pinghe always feels that it is biased.

He is not an ignorant country boy and a slang woman. What the ancient immortals would not touch, how can a young man deal with it easily?

But it was Yin Fei's attitude towards He Lingchuan that puzzled him the most.

"I heard that they killed a lot of Yin Hus last time they went to sea." The subordinate said, "Maybe they shocked the remaining Yin Hus?"

"There is a big guy who survived the ancient times deep in Longji Island. He is not an ordinary person... No, that is not something humans can deal with." Yue Pinghe frowned and thought for a long time, "What on earth did the person named He go to Longji Island? Didn’t you offend it?”

If you offend the King of Yin Snakes, how can the people in the two boats come back intact?

"Explore again!"

"Yes." The confidant responded, preparing to send someone to inquire again tomorrow morning.

Yue Pinghe yawned, and just when he leaned on the couch, he felt sleepy again.

The rain was falling, I was slightly drunk, and it was time for a good sleep.

Before falling asleep, his last thought was:

The man named He seems to be really capable. When Min Tianxi comes to negotiate on his behalf later, should he adjust his strategy and lower his conditions?

If he didn't know how to watch people order dishes, he wouldn't be able to climb to this position.

…

It's nearly dawn, and the wind and rain are gradually ending.

Yue Pinghe dreamed that he and his men robbed a large ship, and there were countless beauties on board. He was hesitating which bracelet to wear, gold with jade or silver with rubies, when he suddenly heard a deafening shout:

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Yue Pinghe was startled and was about to hide the treasure box behind the bed when his arm was suddenly shaken violently:

"Master Dao, wake up!"

He sat up in shock and realized that hijacking ships and seizing treasures was all a dream. Someone coming to kill him was reality!

Yue Pinghe grabbed his subordinate's clothes: "Calm down, who is coming to kill you?"

"One and two! They took advantage of the rain to land on the island from the west, but our brothers didn't notice..."

"Trash!" Yue Pinghe hurriedly put on his armor and grabbed the long knife beside his pillow, "Where did they attack?"

"The outer gate of Dazhai cannot be saved. Those at the front are so powerful, and there are big demons to help..."

"Tell everyone to retreat to the second gate and hold on!" Yue Pinghe's heart tightened, "What kind of monster?"

"A spider as big as a house!"

Yue Pinghe said harshly: "The surname is He!"

The process of Min Tianxi being conquered by He Lingchuan a few days ago had long been reported to him. The person named He has a powerful helper, which is this huge spider monster.

It is said that it can challenge more than ten giant snakes without losing.

Why did He Lingchuan suddenly knock on the door? Yue Pinghe was shocked and angry. Didn't he agree that Min Tianxi would come to negotiate?

As soon as he rushed out, another pirate with a bloody face rushed in and reported:

"Boss, the second door has been broken down!"

Oops. The strongest gate and the second gate with the most comprehensive defense were actually broken down in such a short period of time? Yue Pinghe screamed in his heart that something was wrong. He tried to calm down and said: "Go to Centipede Cave! Everyone retreat to Centipede Cave and get on the boat!"

The island is named after the Centipede Cave, which leads directly to the sea and is a natural and hidden harbor. The Cunning Rabbit also has three caves, where the three pirates secretly placed several large and small ships for temporary escape.

When Yue Pinghe rushed out with a group of his cronies, he saw that his own troops were retreating in embarrassment, and arrows from the opposite side were coming like rain, forcing everyone to dodge in every direction.

The sturdy second gate was knocked open by something, and one of the doors fell off and was stepped on by everyone.

The enemies at the front were indeed fierce. Yue Pinghe recognized Min Tianxi and Huang Zhao at a glance.

Especially Min Tianxi, who usually liked to hide in the back when robbing and fighting, saying that a handsome man should not be easily sent out, but now he is in the first row of the charge?

Is he trying to please the new master?

Yue Pinghe was so angry that his teeth itched.

There were indeed big monsters in the enemy's formation, but not one, but two!

The giant spider reported by the subordinates was also among them, and the other one was a ghost-faced giant ape that was ten feet tall!

This thing had a body of bone armor that was invulnerable to swords and guns. Arrows hitting it were almost like piercing a steel plate. It grabbed the broken gate on the ground as a weapon and smashed many people with a bang.

Yue Pinghe also saw it casually grab a pirate and throw him into its mouth. The man's screams stopped abruptly, and then blood spurted out of the ghost ape's mouth, as if Yue Heping had bitten a plump and juicy tomato.

This scene of eating a living person scared many pirates from the third path. No one wanted to die so...miserably.

Fortunately, Yue Pinghe's roars after his appearance still acted as a cardiotonic. The momentum of his own escape was temporarily reduced. There were many brave men in the crowd. At this time, they responded to Yue Pinghe's instructions and turned around to block the opponent's attack.

In the chaos, Yue Pinghe suddenly met eyes with a young man.

This man was tall and handsome, with eagle eyes and wolf eyes. He gave a few orders with a finger, and the rhythm of the attack was easily controlled by him.

An arrow flew out from somewhere and hit his face directly. The young man didn't even move his eyelids, and the big man next to him raised a copper stick to knock the arrow away.

Yue Pinghe had never seen He Lingchuan, but he knew at first sight that this was the new owner of the Yangshan Islands and the culprit who attacked Centipede Island tonight!

"Retreat!" He stared at He Lingchuan hatefully, "Everyone go to the Centipede Cave, and fight steadily!"

The three pirates followed his orders and retreated while fighting.

Qiu Hu beat a fierce bandit with two sticks and said to He Lingchuan: "They were not confused when retreating. These pirates are not much worse than the Black Water City Army."

He Lingchuan smiled bitterly. Has the Black Water City Army of Yuan Kingdom become a comparative unit?

After all, it is a local army. No matter how weak it is, it is better than ordinary pirates.

However, the three pirates had a good basis for advance and retreat, and had a good way of attack and defense. Facing the joint attack of the first and second roads, except for the initial panic, their performance was remarkable.

This quality reminded him of the fierce bandits who occupied Xianling Village and fought against He Chunhua's army in the past.

On the contrary, the cooperation between the first and second roads on his side was unfamiliar, and they did not play the advantage of numbers when fighting away from home.

Fortunately, he had already figured out this problem in advance. Huang Zhao and Min Tianxi both admitted that although the two pirates had cooperated many times before, they were all ship robberies, and their opponents were mostly guards hired by the caravan, not well-trained officers and soldiers.

In other words, they had a lot of experience in raiding together, but there was no precedent for regular battles.

He Lingchuan didn't care much, because he could practice without experience.

He commanded calmly and didn't care about retreating to the centipede cave three times.

The more problems exposed in the battle, the easier it would be to adjust in the later stage. Moreover, these hundreds of pirates were hard-won and would be his main team for a long time. He couldn't bear to hurt a few more.

Tonight, the rain was heavy and the wind was light. He Lingchuan immediately changed his mind and didn't return to Blade Port.

After the heavy rain, the sea was foggy and the visibility was less than ten feet. Isn't this the best time for a sneak attack?

So he ordered Min and Huang to gather their troops and attack Centipede Island by surprise before dawn.

The attacking party turned off the ship lights in advance and approached Centipede Island in the thick fog. By the time the sentinels on the island discovered the abnormality, the enemy had already touched the island and attacked the village gate as soon as possible!

If this gate was there, the losses of He Lingchuan's side would inevitably increase.

Even if the two gates were broken now, there were still many mechanisms in the village of Yue Pinghe. At this time, they were launched one after another, which really injured many of Min and Huang's men.

Especially the three pirates fought and retreated, and two of the magicians chanted something, and then raised their sticks and knocked on the stone wall on the side of the road at the same time.

The terrain here is excellent. The two huge rocks above intersect and form a triangular angle with the ground. The three pirates escaped through this angle.

There are several man-made stone walls in front of the huge rocks. Usually, I can't see what they are used for. I just feel that they are superfluous. But now the two knocked like this, the stone wall shook a few times, and suddenly split into three stone giants and stood up, blocking this narrow passage tightly!

These stone men are clumsy and it is difficult to hurt people, but each of them is more than ten feet tall and as wide as a wall. When they sit in front of the passage like a stack of Arhats, the pursuers can't get through.
