Chapter 221: Pirate Alliance
Lightning Pirates.
In the captain’s room.
Pant, pant.
Dian Wan’s chest moved up and down, gasping for air. He wasn’t in a good state, as his face was pale and he was profusely sweating all over.
The first mate was next to him, holding a kitchen knife and rubbing it against Dian Wan’s left arm bone.
Dian Wan’s left arm was missing a lot of flesh, even a small pierce of arm bone was missing.
It was a grave wound created by a light beam cannon.
As an old pirate group with stores, they naturally had healing methods.
Flesh Cutting Knife!
The kitchen knife in the first mate’s hand was an impressive gold level item.
It came from the great saint level chef – Blood Sacrifice Butcher.
This butcher was a demon that was once active in the main world.
This gold level flesh knife was merely one of his cooking implements, its function was as it cut flesh, it stimulated the target’s vitality and made them quickly self-regenerate.
It was the cooking tool Blood Sacrifice Butcher acquired ingredients with.
The Lightning Pirates accidently obtained this cooking tool and used it for healing.
Like now, the first mate was cutting the edges of Dian Wan’s burnt flesh.
Dian was injured while simultaneously having his vitality stimulated to rapidly heal himself.
Seeing the fringes of the black necrotic wound turning back to scarlet flesh, the first mate pressed the knife into Dian Wan’s arm bone again.
“Captain, endure this!”
After the first mate said that he began to saw Dian Wan’s arm bone with the knife.
Dian Wan gritted his teeth tightly and resisted the pain of this healing.
A spell of labor later, he pushed the first mate away, “Slow down, let me slow down!”
The first mate had a complex expression as he took out an anesthetic, “How about you smear some on, captain?”
Dian Wan stared blankly or a moment, then let out a torrent of abuse, “You had anesthetic, why didn’t you say so earlier?”
The first made disdainfully looked back, “I wanted to say so, but captain you just shouted to stop talking and start healing!”
“Oh.” Dian Wan glared and went silent.
The awkward mood spread out.
Dian Wan coughed, and decided to shift the topic, “Oh dear, this looting really was sullen!”
“Many people lost their lives, but little of the treasure was recovered.”
“A big loss!”
“Hun Tong is too sinister; he concealed a gold level magic ship. IF there is a chance in the future, I must take vengeance for this enmity.”
Dian Wan had a strong hatred for Hun Tong.
The first mate nodded repeatedly.
The most painful thing about looting Two Eyes Island was that things had gone smoothy and they had plundered much.
But in the end, things went cold, Hun Tong had cut them off, most of the treasures fell to the seafloor, and the pirates didn’t have a chance to retrieve them.
The Lightning Pirates had suffered lots of damage, including Dian Wan who was heavily injured by a light beam cannon.
“Captain, there has been a communication. It is the Applaud Pirates!” At this time, a pirate from the doorway exclaimed.
“Hu Li?” The first mate was puzzled, “What does that old frog want to talk to us about? Oh dear, captain, you can’t leave, you aren’t done healing yet. Wait a minute, let me at least wrap up your wound for the time being!”
Dian Wan had already left the captain’s room.
The first mate rushed out after him.
On the aft house stairs, Dian Wan took an alchemy communication device from one of his underlings, “Hu Li, why are you calling me?”
Dian Wan wasn’t surprised he could be contacted.
Although the pirates had left Two Eyes Island, they were still within its vicinity.
As long as they weren’t out of range, alchemy communication devices could get in touch with each other.
Bei Xiang’s voice came through, “Big shot Dian Wan, I have business I want to discuss with you.”
Dian Wan immediately pursed his brows, “Who are you? Have Hu Li come speak with me.”
Bei Xiang coldly snorted, “Hu Li is already dead, I am the new captain of the Applaud Pirates.”
Dian Wan was flabbergasted, “You killed him?”
“Of course not!” Bei Xiang resolutely denied it and stressed, “He received a fair pirate trial. He was unpopular; therefore, I assumed his place to make everyone rich together.”
“Just you? Bei Xiang…I remember, you are the second mate, hehe, you aren’t even the first mate, what qualifications do you have to discuss business with me?” Dian Wan ridiculed.
Bei Xiang coldly snorted, “Don’t mention that rubbish first mate. I am already a peak iron level, and with my bloodline, sooner or later, I will become a silver level. Speaking of that business, I found where that necromancer is, are you interested in getting rich together?”
Don’t be so quick to decline.”
He was the person in room 21.”
“How about that, are you interested now?”
Dian Wan suddenly took in a deep breath, “Oh? Those two annoying chaps?”
“They purchased many good things!”
Dian Wan recalled the time he bought those useless toxic dentures and immediately grew angry.
Of course, he felt more avarice.
The first mate saw things were not looking good, and hurriedly advised, “Captain, they are a silver level necromancer, and there were two people inside that private room, in other words, one of his accomplices is hiding. There is also that win path magician…”
Before the first mate could finish, Dian Wan laughed, “Haha, deal!”
First mate: …..
Bei Xiang: …..
The frogman had a pile of stuff to say, but didn’t say any of it.
In the end, Dian Wan agreed.
Bei Xiang, “Cough, since that is so, then I will go contact the Stench Pirates.”
Those words had an element of probing to them.
After all, the Lightning Pirates and the Stench Pirates had a tense relationship.
Dian Wan paused, then nodded, “Go contact them, let’s rob together!”
Bei Xiang was just about to turn off the communication device when he heard the Lightning Pirates’ first mate unbearably grumble out, “Captain, you agreed to this too quickly!”
“Don’t forget, you are still wounded.
“This injury doesn’t mean anything!” Dian Wan casually replied, “The main thing is that necromancer is too loathsome!”
“His combat strength isn’t that great either.”
“During the battle, Ya Ma could suppress him.”
“Most crucially, he doesn’t have suitable sailors, or even presentable sailors. Naval battles are different from ground warfare.”
“He has a few alchemy puppets barely able to operate the Iron Lump, and when the naval battle beings, the Iron Lump will become a living target! Hehehe.”
Dian Wan had a loose tongue, but he wasn’t just blindly impulsive, he still had brains.
But he was often impulsive, and when he had the urge, he wouldn’t use his brain.
The first mate nodded, and he approved of Dian Wan’s analysis.
The first mate replied, “During the battle, we can immediately sink the Iron Lump. They only have one ship, we have many.”
We don’t need to fight with swords, let him sink directly into the sea!”
“He has used flying scrolls, but any magic will consume magic power.”
“If we can deplete their magic power like that, then even if there are more magicians, it will be nothing to worry about.”
“Right, right, we’ll attack like that!” Dian Wan belly laughed, “Don’t forget about Yang Cong Tou and the rest.”
“They might also join in.”
“After all, Two Eyes Island has made many depressed!”
Elsewhere, the frogman Bei Xiang also smoothly contacted Yang Cong Tou.
But this talk was far more challenging than the one with Dian Wan.
Even though Bei Xiang had informed Yang Cong Tou that the necromancer was in room 21, it was hard to persuade them.
“The other side has at least two magicians, and another accomplice who hasn’t appeared yet, we don’t know anything about her.”
“There is also that wind path magician, she seems to be a slave.”
“It is very likely that those two had joined the auction to rescue her.”
Yang Cong Tou had layers of apprehensions.
Qing Xin had boarded the same ship as Cang Xu; this strange action had caused others to think that the two of them were part of the same group.
As Bei Xiang’s persuasions were going nowhere, Lady Sea Snake was forced to intervene again, “What if I was included? Yang Cong Tou, you haven’t forgotten my voice have you?”
Yang Cong Tou’s eyes suddenly widened, Lady Sea Snake’s voice was very enticing, but Yang Cong Tou looked like he had seen a snake or a scorpion.
He coldly replied, “It’s you, Lady Sea Snake!”
Why are you interfering?
Did this necromancer offend you?
Did the battle of Two Eyes Island also attract the gaze of the Fire Beard Pirates?
Lady Sea Snake had a complicated history; she was a member of the Fire Beard Pirates.
Compared with her silver level magician strength, people valued her layered identity more.
Lady Sea Snake tenderly laughed, “You think too much, Yang Cong Tou, this is a personal operation, nothing more.”
“Of course, if the war becomes unfavorable, I can naturally invite some comrades to come cheer for us.”
Yang Cong Tou sank into silence, then quickly pondered.
During that battle, he had also been shot by a light beam cannon, injuring him.
At first, he didn’t want to risk going to deal with Cang Xu.
He was a caster and had a different attitude from fighters like Dian Wan.
But now that Lady Sea Snake had appeared, he now realized that this matter had a high chance of success!
Yang Cong Tou muttered to himself, then replied, “Since you are joining us, then we can try too.”
“Who else are you inviting?”
“Qi You’s people?”
Lady Sea Snake sneered, “Ask the Ten Touch Pirates, even if we steal the treasures, how much will our share be?”
Those words caused Yang Cong Tou to laugh, “Right, as long as we can do it. Those people are chicks of the sea! There is only the Iron Lump, something easy to deal with.”
And so, a small pirate alliance was formed.
Still in the dark about this, the survivors were currently sailing.
Cang Xu in control of the Iron Lump sailed the furthest ahead, while below in the ocean depths, the Deep Sea Monster Fish quietly followed, and further in the distance, was the main force of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.
The Iron Lump, the captain’s room.
Cang Xu looked at three ghosts before him with a pained expression.
These three human ghosts were all an impressive silver level!
This was the biggest spoil of war Cang Xu had harvested from the battlefield.
Theres are all top notch ghosts.” Cang Xu sighed.
The ghosts were not just silver level, but there were also all human. Human ghosts had ample intelligence and could understand some relatively complex orders.
Gathering ghosts really wasn’t easy.
Because this was a world of many gods and widespread belief.
Many times, when intelligent lifeforms died, their souls would be received by the god they believed in.
Nonbelievers were rare.
Therefore, when necromancers wanted to gather souls, they had to fight the gods for them and needed to start in advance.
“I am only an iron level, I can’t control three silver level ghosts, I have to abandon one of them.” Cang Xu’s soul strength was finite, and controlling too many ghosts would be an immense burden that he would find hard to bear.
But Cang Xu hesitated.
Dispelling a ghost was rather wasteful.
“I should join the undead gathering as soon as possible.”
“There, I can sell the surplus silver level ghost.”
Such a good must be in great demand.”
“Alas, a pity Zi Di isn’t iron level yet, controlling the ghost Lan Lu is already her limit, and she is unable to accommodate a second one.”
If it were possible, Cang Xu wanted to keep all three silver level ghosts.
