Chapter 245: Weeping Pine Naval Battle – Part 4
When great amounts of magic power flowed into the Feather Snake Sail, it resembled an out of practice expert encountering an army of tigers and wolves that suddenly erupted with a dark green light.
The light scattered, causing the while cloth over it to be torn to shreds, completely exposing the gold level sail to full view.
“Ah, the Feather Snake Sail!” Dian Wan was startled.
It wasn’t that he didn’t know Cang Xu had the Feather Snake Sail, after all he had been at the auction too.
But Cang Xu’s conduct was very treacherous.
He had camouflaged the Feather Snake Sail and didn’t rush to activate it; thus, its gold level aura never appeared.
This caused Dian Wan to have an error of judgement.
Dain Wan had already jumped into the air and used a defensive battle skill, he was about to crash into the Iron Lump’s deck.
But a moment later, the Iron Lump accelerated!
The old ox suddenly turned into a rabbit.
The Iron Lump abruptly sped forth.
Dian Wan couldn’t fly and wasn’t able to use his abilities in the air, he had no choice but to drop back down as he looked onwards helplessly as his target escaped.
“Damn it, don’t you escape!” He unconsciously extended an arm that wanted to grab it.
Then, the waves stirred up by the Iron Lump submerged him.
The pitiful Dian Wan, he had been played by Cang Xu again.
The Iron Lump’s fleeing figure attracted the eyes of many.
“The newcomer is unexpectedly savvy!” Xiao Wang Zi laughed out his praise.
He had been worried a moment ago, after all, a silver level fighter closing the distance with a magician was very dangerous.
But a moment later, the Iron Lump’s surprising burst of speed allowed Cang Xu and the others to successfully avert disaster.
Ku Feng standing next to Xiao Wang Zi suddenly realized, “The Feather Snake Sail, they actually managed to attach it to the Iron Lump.”
Neither of them suspected Cang Xu’s motives.
Because Cang Xu had warned them beforehand and didn’t request help actively.
If he had done so and deliberately placed himself in danger to compel the other necromancers into helping him, then that would undoubtedly draw attention to Cang Xu’s malice.
“No need to worry about the newcomer for now.”
“Hehehe, it is our turn to show off.”
“Generalissimo, we charge!”
On the skeleton magician Xiao Wang Zi’s order, his three headed undead sea serpent mount obeyed and suddenly rushed out of the pine forest.
Many pine trees were crushed down, and countless broken branches flew into the air, its impetus was astonishing.
But a moment later, a large hand picked up Xiao Wang Zi’s slim skull and easily lifted up him.
Ku Feng picked up Xiao Wang Zi, then jumped up over the three headed undead sea serpent, then landed back down.
“Huh, hey?” Xiao Wang Zi looked up at Ku Feng, his feet not touching the ground. His four limbs flailed about, “Let me go at once, I want to go fight and kill those damned pirates!”
Xiao Wang Zi detested pirates greatly.
In the past, he had frequently attacked pirates to protect his kingdom’s merchant ships.
Every time his parents went traveling, he had gone ahead of them to wantonly mop up pirates to prevent them from damaging his meeting with his parents.
Ku Feng was indifferent, and his tone was calm, “Lord Jian Gui sent me here to protect you.”
“Don’t forget, you are a magician.”
“Charging into enemy lines isn’t your role.”
“Were the many lessons you got about this not enough?”
Xiao Wang Zi’s big head immediately bobbed up and down, and his legs and feet no longer waved around as he mocked, “Alas, isn’t Lord Jian Gui here? Normally, I wouldn’t dare to do this.”
“Stop being pesky and hide with me.” Ku Feng carried Xiao Wang Zi into the depths of the forest.
Xiao Wang Zi was forced to then order, “Generalissimo, you can charge by yourself, make an extra effort!”
The undead three headed sea serpent continued to charge, it jumped into the water and quickly swam towards the Lightning Pirates.
When the Lightning Pirates’ first mate saw this, he took in a cold breath, “Why is there also a silver level undead magic pet?”
He sensed things were getting worse.
Because during the course of this battle, the other side had exposed strength far beyond prior reports.
Their information had described in detail Cang Xu’s military strength on Two Eyes Island.
But now, there were skeleton archers, water ghost troops, several silver level ghosts, and also a silver level undead three headed serpent.
“We cannot let that serpent approach!” The first mate felt a trickle of cold sweat as he rushed to give the order to open fire to stop Xiao Wang Zi’s “generalissimo”.
There were difference between silver levels.
Such as this enormous undead magic beast, it was the greatest threat to the pirates’ ships.
Soon after, the Lightning Pirates opened fire.
But the artillery was irregular, the reason was that most of the crew were being entangled by water ghosts and already had their hands full.
The electric net artillery shells the first mate had placed his expectations were never fired.
As it turned out, the gunners there were gravely impeded.
Magician Qi Ling had been watching for an opportunity and had focused on controlling a silver level ghost to penetrate deeply into the Electric Net Fisher to wreak havoc, coordinating with the three headed serpent’s advance.
The first mate clenched his teeth as he brazenly ordered, “Smash into it!”
When the pirates around him heard this order, their eyes widened with incredulousness.
But the first mate sternly roared, “You aren’t going!”
There was something that made the Lightning Pirates a bit different from other pirate groups - the first mate’s reputation was greater than its commander.
The pirates’ vicious nature was also stimulated.
“Fuck his mother!”
“Crash into it, run it down.”
“That three headed serpent is already dead!”
“Then let’s run it down, smash it to bits!!”
The pirates yelled as the flagship Electric Net Fisher quickly broke away from the fleet and took the lead in charging at the undead three headed serpent.
When Xiao Wang Zi saw this, he rushed to control the three headed serpent into diving down.
The Electric Net Fisher hit nothing.
The first mate had foreseen this and had ordered in advance, “Fire the electric net shells around us!”
Ding, ding.
Due to Qi Ling’s interference, only two shells were fired, forming two electric nets.
Xiao Wang Zi giggled, “Having a teammate working with you feels wonderful!”
He ordered his generalissimo to float up and easily avoid the two electric nets.
The generalissimo extended its three long serpent heads and easily pulled itself onto the deck of the Electric Net Fisher, with its limbs and tail moving to and fro.
Because of the three headed serpent’s weight, the entirety of the Electric Net Fisher began to tilt.
The first mate had no choice but to take out his cutlass and charge first.
With Xiao Wang Zi and Qi Ling, two veteran silver level necromancers, working together, the entirety of the Lightning Pirates was trending towards total defeat.
Seeing the situation, Dian Wan finally turned around and gave up pursing the fleeing Iron Lump, returning back to his fleet to assist it.
While Dian Wan rushed back to his flagship, another pirate group was heading over to support them.
It was Yang Cong Tou’s Stench Pirates!
Dian Wan yelled at Yang Con Tou, who was standing on his ship’s bow, “Quickly, let’s work together to get rid of that three headed undead serpent!”
On Two Eyes Island, these two groups had wanted to work together to capture Hun Tong’s city government building.
