Chapter 183: Seizing the Ship

The Vinegar Jar, a silver level magic ship!

Although it suited fishmen the most, humans could operate it too.

Besides, the survivors could remodel it in the future.

“Good idea!” The dragonman youngster was adept at accepting good suggestions and changed his offensive towards the Vinegar Jar.

Over yonder, Zong Ge also received this information and moved likewise.

Battle skill – Rapid Advance.

With the divine spell and his battle skill Rapid Advance combined, he was able to instantly shake off the Steel Bone Knight fishman.

The fishman knight had been attacking and retreating, intending to group back up with Xi Dai Zi.

Xi Dai Zi was heading for the Vinegar Jar, and the fishman knight was the same, Zong Ge was right behind him.

As a result of Zong Ge’s sudden increase in speed, he quickly passed his opponent in their race towards the Vinegar Jar.

The key was that Zong Ge ran faster than him!

For a split second, the fishman knight was stupefied.

A moment later, he reacted as panic rushed into his mind.

“Yao Guan Zi is dead, and the Vinegar Jar cannot be stolen away!”

“Although it was struck by a cannon and is capsized, because its main operator Yao Guan Zi is dead, it is possible another can operate it.”

Even though the Vinegar Jar was immobilized and capsized on its side, its numerous bottom cannons could still be used.

At minimum, it could be treated as a fort and cannon turret.

It would give the fishmen a large terrain advantage.

In the port battlefield, the fishmen were already at a disadvantage, and if they lost the Vinegar Jar, it was bound to cause a rout.

“Defend the Vinegar Jar!”

“First, it is still formidable, and second it is a symbol. If it falls into enemy hands, our morale will take a big hit.”

“We won’t be able to support the main force’s arrival.”

A sacrificial mentality emerged in the Steel Bone Knight fishman’s heart.

With red eyes, he ran as fast as he could and began to desperately chase Zong Ge down.

Bang.

The dragonman youngster’s fist smashed the spiky fishman into the air.

The dragonman youngster’s Bursting Explosion battle qi and the legendary Flame Dragon King bloodline meant that every time he used Demolition Fist or Surge, it would trigger explosions big and small that echoed with ferocious prestige.

The spiky fishman was beneath mention, and even if there was another of him, it would still be hard to bar the dragonman youngster’s way.

The young man easily punched the spiky fishman away and was about to swagger off and march towards the Vinegar Jar.

At this moment, the spiky fishman behind him coughed out blood, then suddenly roared wildly.

Racial magic – Swelling Balloon.

This was Peng Ding Zi’s trump card, it couldn’t be rashly used, and the consequences of using it was very severe.

He had no choice but to use it now.

This was an ability that came with his bloodline.

After the spiky fishman used it, his body began to rapidly inflate like a puffy balloon, his limbs, chest, and buttocks all swelled to twice their size.

His weight substantially decreased, to the extent that when he wasn’t moving, he would slowly float into the sky.

Silver battle qi suddenly flashed across Peng Ding Zi’s body.

When Peng Ding Zi used this battle skill, his speed dramatically increased, and within two seconds, he was able to attack the dragonman youngster.

The dragonman youngster narrowed his eyes, looked at the strange, swelling enemy, and tried to attack them.

But when Demolition Fist hit Peng Ding Zi, it seemed to sink into the latter like he was hitting cotton.

The dragonman youngster’s expression changed.

Demolition Fist had obviously worked, but it didn’t do anything and not even the most trivial explosion could be heard!

“What’s going on?”

The dragonman youngster was forced to focus all of his energy on dealing with Peng Ding Zi.

The spiky fishman became very troublesome.

After his weight had lightened, his movement and attack speed had also increased several fold. Before this, he had to cope with the dragonman youngster’s many attacks, but now he could easily evade them.

After a few attacks and blocks, the dragonman youngster began to understand what was going on with his opponent.

Demolition had been properly used, but when it hit the spiky fishman’s body, its might was instantly absorbed by them.

Every time it was absorbed, Peng Ding Zi’s body swelled some more.

At the beginning, Peng Ding Zi had only swollen two fold. But after several rounds with the dragonman youngster, he had swelled to double that!

“There should be a limit to this ability.”

“His absorption cannot be limitless.”

“Furthermore, he cannot absorb sword attacks and other direct attacks.”

Although the dragonman youngster wasn’t using a sword, his dragon claws were natural weapons.

Instead of using battle skills, he decided to attack with his dragon claws.

Peng Ding Zi’s wounds quickly piled up and his blood was shed, yet he was fighting to the death and didn’t retreat.

“This guy doesn’t want to live.” The dragonman youngster quickly realized this fact.

The spiky fishman would rather be wounded and risk dying in battle to ensnare him here.

As for Zong Ge, he was still further from the Vinegar Jar than the dragonman youngster.

In another battlefield.

Hu Li jumped high into the air.

“The Vinegar Jar is mine!” His heart cried out as he grew impatient.

The Vinegar Jar’s powerful display of strength had deeply engraved itself into Hu Li’s mind.

The Applaud Pirates’ boss had wanted to steal this ship for a long time.

But since then, his crew had been slain by Men Shi, Qing Xin, and the others. As the leader, he was forced to leave the port to take back his territory.

Hu Li was fighting Qing Xin and Men Shi alone!

From the beginning of the fight, he had been winning.

Despite the fact that his opponents were a silver level magician and a silver level fighter.

Hu Li was a renowned silver level, and his fighting style also helped him too.

Hu Li had a jumping battle skill, and he was very nimble. Men Shi was a dwarf, he had outstanding defense but hie was too slow, only able to eat the dust left behind by Hu Li.

Although Qing Xin was a silver level, she had nothing on her and no equipment on hand.

She was flying in the air, but that didn’t give her safety.

For one, she had to evade arrows and bullets, and second, every time Hu Li got near, he was a massive threat.

Hu Li’s suddenly screamed powerfully.

Although he was winning, he wasn’t able to beat his opponents.

Chi Lai’s shell had made a giant impact, causing everyone nearby to pay attention to the port battlefield.

Hu Li constantly had the Vinegar Jar in his mind, and now that it was about to fall into another’s hand, how could he not be anxious?

He suddenly shouted something in the frogman language.

His underlings were currently fighting the combined force of the blond mother’s group and the dwarfs.

After hearing this order, a group of frogmen separated from this.

There were sixteen of them in total, and although they had varied builds, with some old and some young, all of them were wearing the same gloves.

The gloves on their hands made their already gigantic frogman palms even bigger.

The frogmen urged their battle qi and used the same battle skill – Palm Sound Force!

Clap, clap, clap.

They clapped their palms together in an orderly fashion.

The applause quickly expanded to cover an area of several hundred meters.

Qing Xin and Men Shi were enveloped by this sound force and were immediately perturbed.

By contrast, Hu Li was like a fish back in water, drawing power from it that increased his military power slightly.

Battle skill – Musical Palm Scale.

He waved his palm, influencing the sound force around him, instantly condensing it into a translucent flight of stairs.

When Hu Li was jumping, he had to land back on the ground. But now on this flight of stairs. He had a new foothold to step on, greatly changing the situation.

Like a bouncing ball, he was constantly bouncing around on the musical scale, the ground, and roofs.

His patterns varied and weren’t as easy to predict as before.

“This is the Applaud battle squad, the namesake of the Applaud Pirates.”

“It isn’t just those frogmen, Hu Li is also a part of the battle squad, that is why he’s able to use the sound force too!”

The enemy was competently working together, while Qing Xin and Men Shi had no such coordination.

Qing Xin was constantly being forced into danger by Hu Li.

Men Shi wasn’t able to hit the enemy high in the air, he had no other option but to turn around and attack the Applaud frogmen.

There was a cheer on the White Bandage.

“We won!”

“We finally took back our flagship.”

The blood soaked Bandage mercenaries had fought bravely to finally retake the White Bandage from the fishmen, the magic ship was now back under their control.

The mercenaries crowded around their commander, their expressions inspiring and their eyes filled with adoration.

During this retaking of the ship, Commander Beng Dai was the most crucial person. It was he who had led the charge, he who fought with all he hand, and he who had destroyed the defenses here.

The mercenaries followed their commander in and won the battle.

But at this moment, Commander Beng Dai wasn’t looking good.

He was standing on the side of the ship and looking at the Vinegar Jar sitting on the port.

Chi Lai’s shot also attracted his gaze.

Commander Beng Dai and Tie Bang had forced their way into the Vinegar Jar together, resulting in the former fleeing in defeat and the latter losing his life.

After Commander Beng Dai got out o danger, he spent a short time resting.

Afterwards, he adjusted his target and led a squad in an attempt to retake the White Bandage.

The Iron Lump and the White Bandage were magic ships, they had been the furthest from the port and had been swiped by the Vinegar Jar Pirates.

Er Gua Zi and Song Shou were doing battle.

His subordinates were steering the two magic ships to join the ocean battlefield.

Merchant, transport, and Vinegar Jar Pirate ships large and small were locked in battle with each other.

Commander Beng Dai jumped from ship to ship and killed their way across them until they were finally able to charge onto the White Bandage.

The Vinegar Jar Pirates’ experts weren’t present on the ship, those on board weren’t able to hold off Commander Beng Dai’s wild attack.

After all, Commander Beng Dai was a veteran silver level fighter.

“The Vinegar Jar…is going to be taken by someone else!” Commander Beng Dai sighed to himself.

The joy of taking back his flagship was lost amidst the bubbling disappointment, envy, and regret that filled his heart.

The White Bandage could not compare to the Vinegar Jar.

The former was a mere bronze level, a far cry from the silver level Vinegar Jar, a whole level above iron.

He thought about the danger he had faced and the blood he had paid yet ended up empty-handed.

“If it really falls into another’s hand, then I would have contributed greatly to it!”

Commander Beng Dai’s whole heart was agonized and he also felt wronged.

So much so that a dark thought remained in his mind, he hoped the humans would fail.

“Commander, we can’t take the Vinegar Jar, but we can attack the Iron Lump!” Someone next to him suggested.

When Commander Beng Dai heard that, his eyes suddenly flashed.

He looked at who suggested it, it was the person who understood him the most, his auxiliary commander.
