On board the sea.

A skinny monkey warrior sat on a mast, holding a cylinder-like thing in his hand, and kept looking in the direction of the raft dozens of nautical miles away.

On the endless sea, those rafts are like a few floating leaves drifting in the wind, and it is easy to overlook.

The thin monkey's eyesight was quite good, and after a few glances, he shouted at the group of warriors standing below, "Ship master, there are four rafts in total, a total of twenty or thirty people. Look at their clothes are very shabby, each carrying swords, spears, and shields, and they are a group of warriors!"

On the bow deck of the ship, on the side of the ship, stood a row of dozens of warriors wearing fine armor and holding hard bows.

There was also a heavy copper cannon in the bow of the ship, and a burly warrior with a scarface was standing next to the copper cannon with his arms crossed over his chest, staring at the raft in the distance.

On the left side of the scar-faced burly man stood an obscene old man with yellow teeth, and on the right stood a charming woman with a waist and red lips.

This scarred man is none other than Feng Xiongchang, the owner of this sea ship, and he has more than a hundred well-armed warriors under his command.

"Ship owner, we are lucky to have picked up dozens of slaves at sea. They must be warriors, and if they can float on this sea, they must also have some strength. Selling them to the mines in Donglai Xian Village will definitely sell for a good price. Such a large piece of fat must not be let go in vain. ”

The yellow-toothed old man said in surprise.

"This is the deep sea, there is no village in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, how did these rafts float here? They are a little weird, will there be immortal cultivators among them? If there are immortal cultivators, they can't afford to provoke them!"

Ship Master Feng said gloomily with a suspicious look on his face.

He has been to and from this sea area dozens of times, and he knows the situation on this sea area very well. The nearest deserted island from here would take more than ten days to travel, and if it were to be converted into a raft, it would take twenty or thirty days at least.

"That is, if these twenty or thirty warriors can survive in this sea area infested with saury fish on a small raft, their cultivation must be extremely high! If we want to capture all of them alive and take them prisoner, I am afraid that our more than 100 warriors will have to suffer heavy casualties, which is too cost-effective. ”

As soon as the charming woman heard the owner of the ship, she immediately raised her eyebrows and sneered at the yellow-toothed old man.

The yellow account room hurriedly said, "The owner of the ship doesn't need to worry, there is no need to use a knife or a shot at all! The old man personally went over and disarmed them with a three-inch tongue."

"Ha Luha, when did the Yellow Ledger be so wise and brave! Okay, you go and disarm them all with a three-inch tongue. If you can do it, the owner of the ship will reward you with five hundred taels of silver. ”

Feng Xiong glanced at the yellow-toothed old man who volunteered in surprise, and said with a smile.

"Whereever, little old man, I am just a fox and a fake tiger, take advantage of the prestige of the shipowner to collect them! If they dare to disobey, ask the shipowner to give them some color to see. ”

The yellow account room laughed.

The ship came to a halt about two or three miles closer to the four rafts.

A two-foot long boat was lowered on the boat, and the old man with yellow teeth rowed towards the raft with his oars.

"Quick, that ship has spotted us!"

"They put down a small boat and came towards us, probably to ask us about our situation and see if we could help!"

"Let's row to the boat, as long as we get on the boat, we will be saved!"

The warriors on the four large rafts did not know the conversation on the sea boat just now, they were already boiling, cheering loudly, waving their arms desperately towards the sea boat, shaking the strips of cloth.

After more than a month of adrift at sea, they have had enough of that despair and fear. Now that I suddenly see the hope of salvation again, how can I not be excited.

Mo Ling was surprisingly silent, without a trace of joy after being saved.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Mo noticed that her expression was not right, and said strangely.

"I don't know what the road is for, it doesn't feel very good. As far as I know, in addition to some serious maritime merchant ships in the East China Sea, there are also pirate ships that plunder everywhere, and even ships that trade slaves. ”

"The villages in the coastal areas of my country are often looted by pirates. And those slave ships often pretend to be ships of maritime merchants, deceive all warriors and even ordinary people to go to sea to seek immortals, and then sell them to some mines at a high price to make huge profits!

Mo Ling shook his head.

"Maybe a pirate ship, a slave ship?"

Ye Mo was taken aback, and suddenly there was a trace of worry in his heart.

He glanced at the excited crowd and shook his head.

No matter what kind of ship it is, they will definitely not be able to escape with their four big rafts.

Moreover, the warriors have had enough of these four unsafe rafts for more than a month, and they can't wait to go to a safer big ship. At this time, it is impossible to dissuade at all.

After a while, the boat rowed close to the four large rafts, dozens of feet away from the rafts.

An old man with yellow teeth on the boat shouted to the warriors on the raft, "Ladies and gentlemen, the owner of my boat saw that you were adrift and shipwrecked on this sea, and decided to rescue you on board. However, your origin is unknown, and my shipowner is worried that you will cause trouble on the ship, so he must surrender his weapons before the shipowner will allow you to board the ship. What do you think?"

"What, turn in all your weapons?"

"Why do we have to hand over our weapons? Once we surrender our weapons, won't we be slaughtered by others?"

On the four large rafts, the cheers of all the warriors stopped abruptly, and they were all stunned.

They are not stupid, the merchant ship they took at the beginning went to sea to look for immortals, and they never surrendered their weapons. How did you get to this sea ship, you need to hand in your weapons.

"Warriors have always been swordsman, even if they enter and leave the court, they also wear swords. Unless they are prisoners, there is no custom of surrendering weapons! What does your shipowner mean by this? Do you want us to be prisoners?"

Gao gradually stood in front of everyone and asked the old man with yellow teeth in a sharp voice.

"Yes, there are at least hundreds of people on this big ship, and they are afraid that dozens of our warriors will make trouble?"

"Could it be, as Mo Ling said, that this ship is a pirate ship?"

"Old man with yellow teeth, go back and tell your shipowner! If he dares to come, we will fight with him and see who has beaten whom!"

Many of the warriors had been captured and disarmed by Zheng Yiqing, and this scar was lifted again, and they were immediately furious. Killing a Siren snake once gave them a lot of confidence in their own strength.

The yellow-toothed old man was scolded by the warriors for a dog blood spray.

However, the old man with yellow teeth was not angry at all, and smiled, "Little old man, I am giving you a way to live, don't toast and eat and drink! Do you think that with these four small rafts, you can escape faster than the sea boats? If you want to fight with my shipowner, don't dream!"

Seeing that the warriors were angry, the old man with yellow teeth said no more, pushed the boat back dozens of feet, and then shook his hand and shouted at the big boat.

On the bow of the big ship, the bronze cannon slowly turned its direction and aimed at the four large rafts more than 200 zhang away.

"These guys really don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin!"

Feng Xiongchang held a torch in his hand and with a gloomy smile, he used the torch to light the fuse on the tail of the copper cannon.

"Hiss"

The fuse quickly ignited and burned into the barrel.

"Boom", a loud sound of the sky falling apart.

Fierce smoke erupted from the muzzle of the bronze cannon, spewing out an iron pellet that whizzed towards one of the large rafts.

The ship shook violently.
