Chapter 137

Since I'm idle anyway,

fishing to pass the time is actually quite nice!

Thinking this,

Li Xiao nodded,

and followed Wei En out of the cabin,

arriving on the deck.

Wei En seemed to have planned to fish long ago,

and had already prepared the fishing rods in advance.

He handed one of the rods to Li Xiao,

then the two of them each moved a stool over,

sat right there on the edge of the deck, and started fishing!

Li Xiao had no experience with fishing in his past life,

but fishing is simple when you think about it,

and under Wei En's guidance,

Li Xiao quickly mastered how to use the rod and some fishing techniques.

Although it was called fishing,

in reality,

neither of them expected to actually catch any fish,

they were just killing time out of boredom.

After all, the ship was still sailing,

and although the wind on the sea surface was light for now,

the ship's sailing speed was not fast,

catching fish while the ship was moving,

was still somewhat difficult,

basically depending on luck.

Li Xiao and Wei En chatted while fishing,

suddenly,

a series of explosion sounds came from the distance!

Everyone on the deck hurriedly looked up,

and saw on the sea surface not far away,

two ships had appeared at some unknown time,

one was a pirate ship and the other a warship!

At this moment,

both sides were exchanging fire,

the roar of cannons rang out continuously,

cannonballs from both sides attacked each other,

stirring up waves on the sea surface!

Speaking of which,

although most ships in the Pirate World are equipped with cannons,

in reality,

the accuracy of cannons on the vast majority of ships,

is simply unbearable to look at!

They can be called masters of outlining the hull!

It's already good if one out of ten shots hits!

Therefore,

even though both sides were constantly exchanging fire,

in reality,

the ships had not suffered much damage at all!

At this time,

the pirate ship was running ahead,

the warship followed closely behind in pursuit,

both sides kept bombarding each other,

but the scattered cannonballs achieved nothing.

However,

the warship's speed was still a bit faster than the pirate ship's!

Therefore,

the distance between the two sides was constantly closing!

With this chase and run,

gradually,

they were actually getting closer and closer to the merchant ship where Li Xiao was!

Moments later,

the warship and the pirate ship, one ahead and one behind,

had directly sandwiched the merchant vessel in between!

At this moment,

both sides were still continuously bombarding each other,

cannonballs landing on the nearby sea surface,

the waves they stirred up shaking the merchant vessel back and forth repeatedly!

Seeing this,

the crew on the deck cried out in alarm,

no matter what they had been doing before,

they now ran back into the cabin in fright,

fearing they might be hit by stray fire!

Just a dozen or so seconds later,

the once lively deck was left with only Li Xiao!

Li Xiao glanced up,

then silently lowered his head to continue fishing,

showing no intention whatsoever of paying them any attention!

You fight your fight,

I fish my fish,

we interfere with neither!

Although this merchant vessel where Li Xiao was located,

was now sandwiched between the pirates and the navy,

it was not positioned right in the middle!

Moreover, whether pirates or navy,

at this moment, their minds were filled only with the thought of crushing the enemy,

no one paid any attention to such a tiny merchant vessel,

so naturally they would not specifically target the merchant ship!

Only a few cannonballs accidentally landed near the merchant vessel,

causing no substantial damage to it.

The greatest impact was probably,
