Chapter 1288: Ambush by Bandits

After the celebration banquet.

In a quiet living room of the City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere was slightly solemn.

City Lord Xingyao sat on a carved mahogany chair, with a trace of worry on his face.

Li Taihang and Lin Yue were invited by Xingyao to have a private chat.

The candlelight in the living room flickered, and the light and shadow danced on the walls.

"Lord City Lord, I don't know why you asked us to come here, but what's the matter?" Lin Yue was the first to speak.

Xingyao took a deep breath and said, "You two, I invite you here today because I have something extremely important to ask of you."

There was a kind of sincerity and worry in his eyes.

Lin Yue frowned slightly and asked, "Lord City Lord, it's okay if you just say so."

Li Taihang also looked at Xingyao curiously.

Xingyao slowly stood up and paced in the living room.

After a while, he stopped and said: "My wife, she is trapped in the ruins on an island. The island is far away and dangerous. I have always wanted to save her, but there is no way. "

Li Taixing immediately understood that Xingyao wanted their help.

Lin Yue's heart moved and she asked: "Lord City Lord, how did you know that she was trapped there?"

Xingyao smiled bitterly: "She told me using the sound transmission stone, but there are many dangers around the island, including powerful magic restrictions and ferocious sea beasts. I have never been able to go to the rescue."

His eyes fell on the moonlight treasure ship that exuded soft light. "Until we get this moonlight treasure ship, it can sail on the sea and fly in the air. This is my only hope."

"But I need help, but I don't know you two..." Xingyao looked at Li Taihang and Lin Yue with some confusion.

Lin Yue looked at Xingyao and saw that he was trying to save his wife. He felt sympathy in his heart, but he also said: "Lord City Lord, we don't know much about that place. Do you think we can help?"

Xingyao walked up to them and said sincerely: "You two, I have seen your strength before. Mr. Li's strength can be called a sword master. He has superb swordsmanship and is unbeatable in battle."

"Miss Lin, you are also a great mage. You are powerful in magic and have the power of all three elements."

"With the help of you two, I believe we will be able to successfully rescue my wife."

"It's just, hey..." Xingyao felt ashamed to say it, because he no longer had any extra financial resources to pay the commission for hiring the Sword Master and the Grand Mage.

Before, he spent almost everything to get the Moonlight Treasure Ship.

Li Taixing and Lin Yue looked at each other, and they saw determination in each other's eyes.

Lin Yue stood up and said: "Lord City Lord, don't worry, since we can recapture the Moonlight Treasure Ship together, we will definitely accompany you to rescue your wife."

Li Taihang saw this and nodded in agreement.

Lin Yue doesn't have much need for treasures now, but she still needs to improve her strength through actual combat.

This time, we may encounter air battles and naval battles. This is also a rare fighting opportunity.

As for rewards, they had gained huge gains from the previous cave ruins and starlight ruins, and they no longer valued money that much.

What she values ​​​​is Xingyao's feelings for his wife.

A grateful look appeared on Xingyao's face: "Thank you both very much. Your great kindness will be something that I, Xingyao, will never forget."

"In addition, I, Xingyao, don't want anything from this. It all belongs to you. I just want my wife to be rescued safely." Xingyao said firmly.

"OK."

Li Taihang and Lin Yue also agreed.

So, the three decided to set off as soon as possible.

Xingyao explained the affairs, and then took some guards with him, because the place he was going to this time was very dangerous, and bringing too many people would only lead to death.

Therefore, he only needs to take some staff and be responsible for taking care of their daily life.

They boarded the Moonlight Treasure Ship, which slowly lifted into the sky and then flew towards the island.

When the moonlight treasure ship flies in the air, a faint halo is emitted around the hull, like the brilliance of the moonlight, which is beautiful and mysterious.

However, what they didn't know was that because they had previously robbed the Moonlight Treasure Ship, the forces behind the robbers had already begun plotting revenge after learning the news.

The bandits were very powerful, and they were not willing to let the treasure ship be taken away like this. They also lost so many men, especially the bandit leader who was also killed.

In the city lord's palace of Xing'an City, in a small corner, a sneaky figure was talking to a mysterious man.

This figure is a servant in the city lord's palace, and he was bribed by the bandit forces.

"Are you sure they went to the island to the east?" the mysterious man asked in a low voice.

The servant nodded and bowed and said, "It's absolutely true. I heard the city lord's confession with my own ears. They took the moonlight treasure ship to save the city lord's wife."

The mysterious man sneered: "Very good, this time we must make sure they never come back and take back the treasure ship."

After saying that, he gave the servant a lot of money and hurriedly left the city lord's mansion.

The bandit forces acted quickly. They happened to have their men there, so they sent a message to prepare to set up an ambush at sea.

They knew the only way for the Moonlight Treasure Ship to pass, so they chose a sea area with many small islands where they could hide easily.

The bandits set up simple camps on those small islands and hid their weapons and ships.

They also set up some magic traps, which once triggered, will release powerful attack magic.

Then, wait for their arrival.

At the same time, when the Moonlight Treasure Ship arrived at the sea, it landed on the sea and sailed.

Because sailing in the air requires too much magic power, it is better to save trouble on the sea.

Li Taihang stood at the bow, feeling the breeze on his face and the salty sea breeze.

Lin Yue sat on a chair on the deck, studying the "Astrology Book". When she was flipping through it, she saw the astrology divination technique. Just at this time, she helped them test the good and bad luck.

So, Lin Yue took out a few copper coins for divination from the hidden gem, and sprinkled them on the table.

Then, she began to deduce according to the placement, direction, and shape of the copper coins on the table.

Xingyao next to her watched curiously and asked, "Miss Lin, what are you doing?"

"Divination."

"Oh?" Xingyao didn't expect her to know this.

"We will be ambushed this time." Lin Yue suddenly stood up. This was the result of her deduction.

"What?" Xingyao said in surprise: "Is this true?"

"Well, this is from divination." Lin Yue said: "But this is my first time doing this, and I don't know if it is accurate?"

"Interesting." Li Taixing came over and smiled: "Is there any other information?"

"Well. Judging from the results of astrological divination, the danger is on our way."

"Oh? This can also be seen?"

"Yes, because the level of divination is not high, it is relatively easy."

They all looked at the sea ahead. In the distance, many large and small points appeared. There were many large and small islands there, which were quite suitable for ambushes.

Li Taixing also found the robbers there.

When he saw the robbers, he was a little surprised, because those robbers were the same as those they had encountered in the cave before.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at divination." Li Taixing smiled.

"Is it really dangerous?" Xingyao was half-believing and half-doubting.

As the Moonlight Treasure Ship gradually approached the dangerous sea area, the atmosphere in the air seemed to become tense.

When they were passing through that island, suddenly, a huge magical water column shot towards the Moonlight Treasure Ship from an island on one side.

"Enemy attack."

Xingyao was shocked and shouted hurriedly. He didn't expect to be in danger.

Li Taihang also quickly drew his sword, and his sword flashed with cold light.

Lin Yue ran to the bow and chanted a spell, and a magic shield appeared around the treasure ship.

"Bang."

The magic water column hit the shield, emitting a dazzling light.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush!" Xingyao shouted.

At this time, many robbers emerged from the surrounding islands. They quickly took a small boat and surrounded the Moonlight Treasure Ship.

"Kill!"

The robbers shouted loudly, waving various weapons in their hands.

"It's those robbers. Strange, how come these robbers are the same as the ones we encountered before." Lin Yue said with some surprise.

At this time, the robbers approached quickly.

She waved her staff and released a series of fire magic towards the robbers. The flames fell on the robbers' boats, instantly igniting some of the boats.

The robbers did not retreat, they continued to rush towards the Moonlight Treasure Ship.

"They are coming up."

Some robbers began to climb the side of the Moonlight Treasure Ship when they approached. Li Taihang flashed and rushed towards the robbers like lightning.

His sword shuttled between the robbers, and each sword could kill a robber.

"Ah!"

"Kill!"

However, there were too many robbers.

They kept coming up, and there were some robbers.

Xingyao hurried into the cockpit and ordered his men to speed up the control of the treasure ship to avoid the attacks of bows and arrows and magic, while shouting to Li Taihang and Lin Yue: "We are surrounded now."

"Fly up, these guys can't fly." Lin Yue said loudly.

"That's right."

Xingyao reacted and quickly controlled the Moonlight Treasure Ship to take off.

"Extreme Freeze!" Lin Yue shouted with the Ice and Fire Staff in his hand.

The temperature around dropped rapidly, freezing everything around, and the robbers' attack was also hindered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xingyao controlled the treasure ship to speed up. The treasure ship broke through the bandits' encirclement and flew towards the sky ahead.

However, the bandits did not give up.

They chased after them and bit them tightly below.

"They can't fly, but they don't plan to let us go."

They came to the deck and looked down, and saw that the bandits had been staring at their position and following them on the sea.

As long as they landed, these bandits would kill them.

"What a group of stubborn guys, but how did these guys know we were here? Or did we accidentally break into this place?" Lin Yue said.
