Chapter 944: Capturing the Enemy with One Song

"This supernatural power is used just right." He Lingchuan even had the heart to praise it.

Sure enough, there are no bad supernatural powers in the world, only occasions where they are used.

"Can we go around?"

"Yes!" Min Tianxi's face was splashed with half a face of blood and he didn't have time to wipe it, looking particularly ferocious. "But taking the detour will take another quarter of an hour."

"It doesn't matter, go around." Being a mountain mover here didn't make much sense, it was better to take the detour.

The so-called long road was actually going around the foot of the mountain, approaching the sea exit of Centipede Cave.

This sea exit was quite hidden, and there was a large stone beach on the periphery, which was particularly easy to sprain one's ankle when walking.

By the time these five hundred people arrived at the stone beach panting, they saw two speedboats sailing out from the mountain belly, sliding toward the sea.

Min Tianxi's intelligence was very accurate; taking the detour would take another quarter of an hour.

This quarter of an hour was enough for Yue Pinghe and the others to jump onto the ships in Centipede Cave, untie the cables, and row away from the shore.

These pirates were all skilled sailors, and they started the ships in no time, leaving the shore and entering the water! The speedboats passed in front of the stone beach, and the distance between the two sides was less than thirty zhang. But they couldn't catch up, so He Lingchuan and the others had to slow down their pace.

Yue Pinghe stood at the bow, pointing at the bottom and cursing:

"Min Tianxi, Huang Zhao, you two forgetful dogs! I usually treat you like brothers, and you come to bite me back after finding a backer? Beware that this little brat will kill you later and chop you into seventeen or eighteen pieces to feed the fish!"

It was not yet dawn, and Yue Pinghe's loud cursing echoed on the stone beach.

The more he cursed, the more energetic he became, and the pirates on the ship followed suit.

Qiu Hu heard them cursing more and more unbearably, and shot an arrow.

With a "whoosh," the one who cursed the most filthily and energetically was pierced through the mouth by his arrow.

Both sides realized this and raised their bows to shoot at each other.

The stone beach was empty and had no cover, so they were at a disadvantage in the exchange of fire, and everyone hid behind Zhu Xiuer and the ghost ape. He Lingchuan also ordered at the same time: "Retreat twenty steps."

Watching the pursuers retreat, there was a burst of laughter on the pirate ship.

Huang Zhao spat on the ground: "Look at that Yue fellow's face."

Watching the pirate ship sailing away, with only the laughter coming with the wind, Zhu Xiuer wiped her mouth with her claws: "What's the rush?"

In fact, just now within thirty zhang, she could have sprayed spider silk to stick to the ship's hull. The spider silk of the Mother of the Earthly Cave was much stronger than a cable, and as long as it was tied to a few giant rocks, the ship might not even be able to sail.

But He Lingchuan wouldn't let her do that.

For one thing, boarding battles easily caused casualties, and the opponent would be a trapped beast fighting; for another, there was a big show tonight.

Watching Yue Pinghe's ship go away, with only the laughter coming with the wind, Qiu Hu asked for instructions: "Young Master, it's about time."

He Lingchuan nodded and took out a flute, blowing it against his lips.

As soon as the flute sound started, Min Tianxi and the others felt their hair stand on end: it was too sharp, like a swordsman raising his eyebrows and drawing his sword, like a warrior who would never return, and everything within ten miles was the sound of killing.

But this tune was still a bit tragic in its high spirits, hidden with sorrow in the clang, and the more they listened, the heavier their hearts became, even to the point of wanting to cry.

The morning breeze blew, sending this song far away to the sea, as if to pierce the darkness before dawn.

This was one of the first tunes He Lingchuan learned, because it was the "Heroic Soul" played by the soldiers of Panlongcheng for their fallen comrades. Every time a great battle ended, someone would blow it by the battlefield to send off the heroic souls.

This was also one of the basic tunes that Panlongcheng people must learn, and it was even included in the children's curriculum.

For Panlongcheng, the concept of living toward death must be cultivated from childhood.

He Lingchuan suddenly blew this tune, of course, not on a whim.

The flute sound reached the sea, and the sea surface on the left side of the pirate ship suddenly exploded with a splash. The pitch-black giant leaped out of the sea, slammed onto the pirate ship, grabbed two pirates who were still in a daze, flicked its tail, and slid back into the water.

This was a Yin Serpent four zhang long.

Immediately after, four or five more Yin Serpents emerged to attack, either jumping onto the pirate ship to grab people or shaking the bottom of the ship. The ship shook as if it had encountered a seventeen-level hurricane, so how could the pirates stand still? Several fell off the ship on the spot, and the rest walked unsteadily, like drunkards.

"Yin Serpent!" Yue Pinghe roared. "Get the long forks, get the long forks quickly! Throw the Magic Sound Thunder!"

He quickly wiped the medicinal juice on the spearhead, grabbed the long spear and threw it, piercing a Yin Serpent.

With this injection of true power, the spear shaft pierced in one foot, and the Yin Serpent hissed in pain, turning back to pounce on him.

Living in the waters of the Yangshan Archipelago, they were neighbors with the Yin Serpents who never met, and occasionally encountered them at sea, so they had to communicate. After years of practice, the pirates had explored a set of methods to deal with Yin Serpents, such as White Flame Grass mixed with Black Domain Worms to make an antidote for Yin Serpent poison, such as the best weapons for fighting Yin Serpents were long forks and spears attached with White Flame Grass juice, and Magic Sound Thunder that could explode powerful sound waves underwater to stun Yin Serpents, etc.

The pirates' movements were not slow. As soon as Yue Pinghe finished speaking, several heavy thunders were thrown into the water, exploding after entering the water for one zhang, pushing powerful shock waves and sound waves in all directions.

This was a Magic Sound Thunder specially customized for Yin Serpents, which usually stunned nearby Yin Serpents after entering the water, and others would flee after suffering a few losses.

The problem was that the Yin Serpents besieging the ship hull were all elite-level, each at least twice as large as ordinary peers, and usually there was one in a group of Yin Serpents. But at He Lingchuan's request, the Yin Serpent army dispatched for the first time was all giant Yin Serpents. This kind of Magic Sound Thunder could at most stun them, and they could continue to attack after shaking their heads.

Watching the two pirate ships swaying in the attack of the Yin Serpents, the people on the shore cheered while secretly feeling shocked.

Island Master He could actually summon the Yin Serpent army! The agreement he reached with the Yin Serpent King seemed to be more than just good-neighborly friendship.

But everyone was also a little glad: the Yin Serpent army was indeed terrifying, fortunately they were on the same side as them.

Just as the flute sound lingered, and in the screams of humans and the roars of Yin Serpents, one ship was jointly overturned by more than a dozen Yin Serpents and fell into the sea.

The other ship had its hull pierced by a big hole...

At this point, the song ended.

As the last note dissipated, the slaughter on the sea ended at the same time.

Everyone didn't know what to say. Island Master He didn't do anything, just stood on the beach and blew the flute, and the flight of the Third Island pirates became a bubble?

Where in the world is there such a comfortable pursuit?
