Chapter Ninety-One: The Ambusher
At the same time, about thirty kilometers behind the Starfish, a medium-sized merchant ship with two wooden masts was slowly moving on the sea.
At first glance, the ship looked like a regular merchant ship, with the deck piled high with wooden crates held together by large bundles of twine, preventing them from falling into the sea in the bumps.
But if someone takes a closer look, they will find a lot of irregularities.
For example, there was no crew walking back and forth on the deck, and there was no one on duty at the lookout post on the mast.
And the birds hovering on the top of the ship's mast are not common seabirds at all, but big crows with blood-red eyes!
Accompanied by the mournful chirping of crows, some of the more scalp-tinging details of the merchant ship were revealed in the sun.
Fresh blood was splattered everywhere on the edge of the deck and at the hatches, and some of the cabins had chisel marks from knives and axes on the hatches.
The sail line of the mainmast had been cut off, and an eerie figure in a black robe stood next to the steering wheel at the stern.
Under the surface of the sea around the mall, large schools of scavenging fish, ghost sharks, dead eels and other bloodthirsty fish converged into a school of black pressed fish, following the ship around the frantic scramble for some pieces of meat, which were thrown from the porthole at the stern.
"Well, he didn't find out, did he?"
At this time, another black-robed figure walked out of the cabin and stood beside the black-robed man at the helm and asked.
"Don't worry, at such a distance, even if he really has any unknown reconnaissance skills, he must be undetectable, my little babies are flying high, even if it is Amazon's inner vision, don't want to catch their figures!"
The black-robed man at the helm replied confidently.
"Very well, we will soon be in the Razor Strait, and that is where we will start, and we must be careful before we do so, so that he does not find us!
The other two ships sent by the Demon God are already waiting at the entrance to the strait, and once they enter the channel, our arrangement and custody will allow them to come and go! ”
"Rest assured, rest assured, we are a merchant ship, there are so many 'goods' on the deck, and we are so far away, no matter how fast we are, we can't get up quickly, so the other party won't treat us as a threat, hahaha!"
The black-robed man at the helm glanced at the "cargo boxes" on the deck, only they knew that the goods in those boxes had already been thrown into the sea.
All the boxes piled up on the deck were empty now, and with the ability of the adults beside him, they could make the ship catch up with the target in a matter of minutes if they wanted to!
"That's good, you keep an eye here, I'll go down and help them 'deal with' those 'waste', can't these damn fish stay away and eat!" This is not supposed to be around a merchant ship. ”
The black-robed man who emerged from the cabin first nodded, then cursed viciously, and then returned to the cabin with a gloomy face.
Soon, a large mass of flesh and flesh was thrown into the sea from the rear porthole of the ship.
The scavenging fish in the sea suddenly boiled wildly as if a pot was boiling.
The fish gulped for flesh and bone, and some pieces of flesh that had not been completely chopped were pushed out of the water in their scramble—it was half a human face with a terrified expression, his head split in half from the middle, and half a tattered captain's hat on top of his head......
In the distance, more than thirty kilometers away, Xue Hua, who saw this scene through the perspective of the monitoring king insect, suddenly looked ugly.
It is clear that there was a rebellion on the ship, which was very different in combat effectiveness, and the "guests" on the ship eliminated the master and usurped control of the ship.
This apparently happened after the merchant ship had left the port of Kersh, and the previous ship had behaved like a merchant ship with no flaws at all.
Obviously, the gang of evil covenanters on the ship used the identity of the original owner to cover them, and only after Xue Hua got used to them behind them did they reveal their hideous fangs.
I have to say that they made a good plan, and they also chose a good time.
Just a few days ago, just as the Starfish was about to arrive in the port of Kersh, Abbathhar sent a message to Xue Hua informing him that its plans to transform the Leviathan were ready to begin.
Xue Hua agreed to its proposal and told it to immediately begin the transformation of the Leviathan.
In the process of Leviathan's upgrade, Xue Hua would disconnect from it and Isha and share mental information with the main nest, so Isha couldn't remind Xue Hua that something was wrong with the merchant ship behind him in the first place.
Fortunately, just now, Xue Hua himself switched the perspective of the monitoring king worm, wanting to observe the appearance of the Razor Strait from above, but accidentally found the sea ship that had been following them.
But the main thing is that now that the Leviathan is temporarily blocked, and Abasthan's transformation will take some time, which means that he has no way to recruit troops from the Leviathan to protect himself.
Just now, he had already contacted Zagala in the mind of the main nest, and it told Xue Hua that the nearest swarm reinforcements came from the barrier mountain range in the Western Continent, and the underground of the barrier mountains over there had been basically dug through by the swarm, and if the air force was urgently dispatched from there, it would only take less than an hour to rush to his current location.
And according to the information that Xue Hua just got from that ship, those guys are still some time away from making a move - they are ready to attack themselves in the Razor Strait, and I have to say that this position is also very good.
There the ships could not turn around, and if they could use some explosives to blow up some of the cliffs on both sides of the strait and block the channel, it would be a real lore situation.
But now that they know the plan, it is undoubtedly a bit fantastical that they want to implement it smoothly.
Xue Hua first arranged for the Inspector Bugs to look for the other two ambush ships at the entrance to the Razor Strait, and then went to the captain's room to find the captain in person, asking him not to enter the Razor Strait, but to continue along the current course for the time being.
Although the captain didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xue Hua's gourd, he was the boss who paid the money, and what the boss said, of course, he, a part-time worker, could only do it.
So he immediately conveyed Xue Hua's meaning to the helmsman and the navigator, and slowed down the speed again at Xue Hua's request.
News soon came from the Inspector that the two small ships camouflaged with a large number of branches had been found behind the reef near the entrance to the strait.
The reason why Xue Hua was so cautious was because on the ship that was following them all the way from behind, the Inspector King Worm had discovered a powerful psionic energy disturbance signal, which was a quasi-legendary powerhouse, that is, a level 90 professional who had not yet been in contact with the original......
