257. Chapter 257: Pirates

Next, the Divine Dragon ship stayed here, staying here for a full month.

The volume of the nine-story treasure ship was simply too huge, and it was extremely difficult to dismantle. A group of crew members dismantled it tirelessly for a month before finally dismembering this giant ship and moving it into the Heart of the Ocean as countless parts.

At the same time, Miao Peipei also planted a sea of melons, fruits, and vegetables on one of the artificial islands in the Heart of the Ocean, enough for the one hundred crew members on the ship to eat for several years without worry.

After solving the most basic food problem, she finally planted spirit fruit trees and spirit vegetables with extremely long growth cycles on the remaining open spaces, making this dead space full of vitality, like a paradise.

Seeing this vibrant island, all the crew members had plans to stay on the ship permanently.

This place is simply a paradise, and the spiritual power is extremely abundant, far better than the outside world. The environment here is extremely suitable for cultivation.

With such a small world embedded in the ship, the people on the ship can completely be self-sufficient and drift on the sea for four seasons. This is an experience that no other ship has ever had.

Don't look at the Divine Dragon ship being small, but the Divine Dragon ship is absolutely the most comfortable ship in this world.

Maybe it's a coincidence that they didn't encounter any danger during this month, and didn't suffer any attacks from sea beasts. Things went so smoothly that everyone felt incredible.

Until all the crew members took all the treasures that could be taken from this sunken ship, no accidents happened.

The Divine Dragon ship left here safely just like this. Until this time, the crew members still felt like they were dreaming.

"Something is wrong! Even if our luck is good again, it's impossible to be good for a month? We didn't encounter any danger for a month. It's simply a miracle. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

On the deck, Nie Qingcheng frowned slightly. Until now, she still felt incredible, always feeling that something was wrong, and didn't dare to relax.

"It's indeed not very normal. Being too safe often brews greater danger."

Leng Yan walked over and said heavily: "First of all, this place cannot be safe; otherwise, this nine-story treasure ship could never have sunk here, and everyone on the ship would not have been eaten up. There must be a great danger here, but I don't know why we didn't encounter it. We must never relax our vigilance."

"Could it be that there is another sea monster here that scared away all the sea beasts here?" Young Master Mo suddenly spoke, stating a guess.

It's just that when he mentioned this possibility, the expression that appeared on his face was not fear, but expectation.

Leng Yan shook her head and said: "It doesn't look like it. If there is a more terrifying existence here, then we would be even less likely to be so safe. How could it be calm for a month?"

Yang Zhan looked at the two of them and smiled: "You don't have to worry about this and that. The problem you are considering is completely redundant. What if it's not right there?"

"We have already left that place now. What does it have to do with us if there is any danger there?"

"We don't need to consider so much. Anyway, we are still alive."

Long Xuan nodded and didn't take this matter to heart anymore, saying: "That's right, no matter how wrong it is there, it has nothing to do with us. There is really no need to get to the bottom of some things."

"We have already gained enough in the Death Sea Region. We shouldn't waste time here anymore. How long will it take for us to leave this sea area?"

Long Xuan looked at Nie Qingcheng and asked, it was time to change the topic.

Nie Qingcheng didn't think and answered immediately: "It's already less than half a month."

"After about half a month, we will completely walk out of the Death Sea Region, and we basically don't need to worry about the dangers in the sea."

Long Xuan heard the meaning of this sentence and continued to ask: "You mean, we don't need to worry about the dangers in the sea, but we should worry about the dangers not in the sea? What dangers are there not in the sea?"

"Many, such as dangerous natural disasters, such as pirates. The possibility of encountering pirates will be greater. It is said that there are many islands on this side of the Death Sea Region, and pirates are rampant."

"Human disaster is sometimes more dangerous than the Forbidden Sea."

Nie Qingcheng looked at the direction of the east, which was about to sail out of the Death Sea Region, and her relaxed expression did not diminish.

Long Xuan kept this sentence in his heart and didn't ask any more, turning and walking towards the bedroom, preparing to continue livering the Gu formula, and by the way, research pill formulas for the spirit herbs unique to the Death Sea Region.

Time flew by, and another half a month passed. During this half month, the Divine Dragon ship still didn't encounter many dangers, simply like two different sea areas compared to when it just sailed into the Death Sea Region.

The west and east sides of the Death Sea Region were completely two different difficulties. All the crew members were a bit confused and revealed surprised expressions.

Until this day, the Divine Dragon ship was about to sail out of the Death Sea Region. From afar, it had already seen the normal-colored blue seawater ahead. All the crew members finally breathed a sigh of relief and revealed relaxed expressions.

Once they walked into that piece of blue sea area, they would completely say goodbye to danger. After tightening their nerves for so long, they could finally relax.

No matter how wrong or abnormal the road just now was, even if it was brewing greater danger, it had nothing to do with them. Even if a sea monster appeared later, it wouldn't affect them.

Just when everyone was holding the railing and looking at the blue seawater ahead with a smile, Di Xin suddenly said: "Qingluan! Your dolphin hasn't cried for a long time."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

Everyone on the ship was not a fool. They had already heard the subtext of this sentence, and soon their faces changed in unison.

Ye Qingluan frowned slightly and said lightly: "My Dabut really hasn't encountered any treasures for a long time."

"In the Death Sea Region where treasures are everywhere, my Dabut actually hasn't encountered any treasures for half a month. This is absolutely not normal."

"And in the Gu World, the only places where humans can set foot have no treasures."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's heart sank.

Long Xuan frowned. At this time, the first thought that arose in his heart was that there was another faction that also had the ability to enter the Death Sea Region.

This faction cleared all the dangers in this area and looted all the treasures nearby.

That's why they hadn't encountered any dangers for half a month, and Dabut hadn't discovered any treasures for half a month.

In this way, all the explanations were connected.

If his speculation was true, it meant they hadn't escaped danger yet.

Although they were about to walk out of the Death Sea Region, don't be too happy too early. Greater danger might come from outside the Death Sea Region.

That faction might have been clearing all the sea beasts on this road just to salvage that sunken ship.

And they happened to walk on the road where this faction cleared the sea beasts, and bumped into this mysterious faction. The possibility was very high!

Long Xuan suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart at this time.

The rest of the people obviously also had similar thoughts to him. At this time, everyone was unable to remain calm, and the smiles that had just emerged were all stiff on their faces.

"Run! Run quickly! We must leave here at the fastest speed!" Qiu Tiandao shouted hurriedly, his voice very anxious.

"I'm afraid it's too late!" Shangguan Wuwo pointed at the piece of sea ships that suddenly appeared ahead with trembling fingers, and his face became completely ugly.

The scale of this fleet was very large, with nearly a hundred ships of all sizes, including a rare seven-story treasure ship, sailing towards this side in a mighty way.

And coincidentally, these ships were lined up in a row, blocking them in the front, blocking them in the Death Sea Region.

These ships were all black, and each ship hung a huge pirate flag with a skull drawn on it, fluttering in the sea breeze, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.

Looking at the skull pirate flag, all the crew members' faces changed greatly, and many people's faces turned white.

It was actually pirates. Long Xuan's heart sank. It was really what he feared, and pirates came. It was really a coincidence.

This was the first time he had seen pirates in this world, but he really didn't want to encounter them.

A crew member was obviously very familiar with the origin of this group of pirates. After seeing the pirate flag, he immediately revealed a look of horror and shouted in panic: "Not good! It's the Black Dragon Pirate Group!"

"The Black Dragon Pirate Group is the number one pirate group in this area. The ships are full of strong people, and there are many Gu Kings."

"This pirate group burns, kills, and loots, and does all kinds of evil. I don't know how many tragic cases they have committed. There is basically no maritime faction in this area that can compete with them."

"The Black Dragon Pirate Group rose in the last twenty years. Their rise speed was simply too fast. They used huge wealth to quickly recruit soldiers and buy horses, recruited a large number of masters in a very short time, and merged nearly a hundred warships."

"Then they wiped out the two strongest pirate groups in this area in one fell swoop, and in one leap became the maritime hegemon here. No faction dared to provoke them."

"It is rumored that they conquered a Forbidden Sea and obtained endless wealth in the Forbidden Sea, so their strength expanded so fast!"

"Now it seems that the rumors are true. They really conquered a Forbidden Sea, and this Forbidden Sea is the Death Sea Region."

"We are probably in big trouble. As long as the ships seen by the Black Dragon Pirate Group are absolutely impossible to be let go by them! They are all wolves that eat people without spitting out bones!" This crew member was covered in cold sweat, his expression nervous to the extreme.

The rest of the people heard the notoriety of the Black Dragon Pirate Group and were all panicked. The Black Dragon Pirate Group actually had a large batch of Gu King powerhouses. How could they fight? They were dead.

Compared to the panic of the rest of the crew on the ship, Nie Qingcheng, the former captain of the Rose ship, showed enough calmness, revealed wise eyes, and immediately turned to Long Xuan and said:

"Listen to me now, immediately drive the ship to the right, and don't drive at the fastest speed! Just medium speed!"

"Since the Black Dragon pirate ships dare to sail in the Death Sea Region, it means that some of their ships must be extremely fast, absolutely possessing the terrifying speed to shake off all sea beasts in the Death Sea Region, and the speed will probably not be inferior to the Divine Dragon ship!"

"Once targeted by the Gu Kings on the ship, we may not be able to shake them off! Then the trouble will be big!"

"So we must hide our clumsiness!"

"Our ship is simply too small, and there is not even a Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivator. The main ship carrying Gu Kings will definitely be too lazy to take action against us. They will only send small ships to chase us!"

"And as long as we don't show a very fast speed, we will definitely not alarm the Gu Kings, nor will we attract the chase of the main ship."

"Wait until we completely pull away from that main ship, and then instantly open full speed. In this way, that main ship will not be able to catch up with us even if it is tired to death!"

"Hmm!" Long Xuan nodded, listening to Nie Qingcheng's suggestion, hurriedly turned the rudder, rotated the ship ninety degrees, sailed to the right along the edge of the Black Sea, and listened to the advice not to sail at full speed. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 258 =====

"Mm!" Long Xuan nodded, considering it as following Nie Qingcheng's suggestion. He hurriedly turned the rudder, rotating the ship ninety degrees, sailing towards the right along the boundary of the Black Sea, and listening to advice, he did not sail at full speed. (End of chapter)
