Chapter 59 Backtracking

The battle ended in the sixteenth minute, a full four minutes earlier than expected.

Pirate King Xiaofeng died on the spot, a pirate king ceased to exist, and all the glory disappeared.

The soldiers of the airborne battalion played a vital role in this battle. Relying on the cover of night and the powerful long-range firepower, they killed far more pirates than the four adventurers. Half of the four mid-level pirate leaders, eight small bosses, and two big bosses were killed by the soldiers of the airborne battalion, and more than two-thirds of the ordinary pirates were killed by the soldiers.

In this battle, Frost and Ralph were successfully promoted to level 3, and the rest of the elite soldiers were also promoted to a level, and they gained a lot.

As the elite soldiers level up, their survivability also increases and their strength becomes stronger. Now they may not be able to become Shen Yi's pillars, but if they continue to develop over time, they will definitely be able to become Shen Yi's most important right-hand man just like the Skynet Terminator.

In addition, the destruction of the five pirate ships brought a return of 6,200 blood points to the Broken Blade team. In addition to the map at the end of the world and the token of the Pirate King, they also obtained three scrolls of combined attacks and two scrolls of water-based specialization . Although there is nothing valuable, but to Shen Yi, these odds and ends are obviously also extremely valuable. The two water-based specialization scrolls were handed over to Frost and Ralph, while the joint attack scrolls continued to be kept. Counting up to now, Shen Yi already has five combined strike scrolls, if he continues to save up, he will soon be able to build up a small-scale melee siege force.

Finally, I also accidentally obtained a special skill scroll:

Skill Scroll Storm: Form a storm within an 8*8 range, which can drag all targets in the area into the air. After the target falls, it will cause different damage according to each person's physique and anti-fall ability. When using this skill in the ocean area, you can create an ocean storm that you can control at will.

The bloody coat of arms hints: "The powerful South China Pirate King Xiaofeng has absolute prestige among the South China Sea pirates, relying on this terrifying power that can create storms at sea."

"This skill belongs to the exclusive skill of the South China Sea Pirate King, and it has a 100% chance of being obtained after killing it."

"Learning exclusive skills does not require any prerequisites, does not occupy the skill bar, and has a great chance to mutate according to the innate characteristics of the master, and the power will increase with the user's comprehension."

"After learning this skill, you will not be able to have a career."

"A person can only learn one exclusive skill."

This is the first time everyone has heard of this exclusive skill. Judging from the introduction of the Bloody Emblem, the power and development potential of this skill are very good, and it can also mutate into an exclusive skill for new scholars.

But the price of not being able to master the profession is too great. For adventurers, the best way to break through the skill bar is to have a profession, so that the learning of skills is no longer restricted by the skill bar.

Compared with a powerful exclusive skill, it is obvious that the meaning of a profession is more important.

"It seems that you can only cheapen your summoned soldiers again." Hong Lang sighed.

"I can see that the world of Bloody City will never be short of tasteless existence. And the Medal of Honor... just can tolerate these." King Kong also said with a smile.

That's right, those strengthening methods with obvious characteristics, great advantages, and great disadvantages, such as combined attacks, such as exclusive skills, are obviously more meaningful to summoning soldiers than to adventurers. They are like the ocean, where all rivers flow into the sea, and they never reject anyone who comes, and strengthen themselves through this kind of inclusiveness.

With the participation in missions one after another, Shen Yi's use of summoning soldiers has become more and more mature, and he is becoming more and more aware of their significance. If he was still worried about how many blood points would be available for a large number of elite soldiers to strengthen after upgrading their level, then he would no longer have to worry about such problems in the future.

From the tone of the bloody coat of arms, the nine pirate kings should all have their own exclusive skills.

I don't know what exclusive skills will be obtained by killing Jack Sparrow. As the existence with the least number of people among the nine pirate kings and the most powerful one,

Jack Sparrow's exclusive skills can't be worse, right? Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone looking at Jack Sparrow became a little strange, making Captain Jack baffled, not knowing what happened, who would have thought that these guys were restraining their greed and suppressing their thoughts of killing themselves .

Then the adventurers had an affair with the Black Pearl.

The reason is that Jack Sparrow urged everyone to go to the city of the sunken ship immediately, and the adventurers hoped to intercept at least one more pirate king before entering the city of the sunken ship.

But Jack Sparrow didn't want to. For him, the only reward he can get is his actions in the Shipwreck City. And before entering the Shipwreck City, all the gains were nothing to him.

From the perspective of personal interests, Jack Sparrow naturally hopes to stop the interception operation.

King Kong and others were very dissatisfied with this.

Hong Lang even pointed at Jack Sparrow's nose and shouted: "What the hell are you kidding? There are nine pirate kings, and only one of them has just been dealt with now. If we enter the city of sunken ships, even if we get rid of you and Barbosa , we still have to deal with six pirate kings. Six! Do you know what that concept is? That is six times the current opponent! To deal with Captain Sao Feng, we need to dispatch all our troops to complete the task. With our current strength , being able to deal with two at the same time is not bad, three is the limit, not to mention six!"

"Oh! Really?" Jack Sparrow shrugged: "As you said, three pirate kings is the limit you can deal with. So is there any difference between five and six?"

"At least when we can't fight, we have a better chance of escaping!" King Kong said in a deep voice.

"That's the crux of the matter!" Elizabeth interrupted suddenly.

Everyone was stunned, and King Kong asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Elizabeth smiled, she smiled sweetly, but she was also very confident, which made Shen Yi's heart skip a beat.

He had a faint feeling that what Elizabeth was going to say next might be exactly what he didn't want to hear.

Sure enough, Elizabeth said: "I don't know who you are, but there are not many people in this world who dare to challenge the nine pirate kings. You know how dangerous it is to go to the city of sunken ships, but you dare to go there. Can I think Do you have a reason to go?"

Hong Lang replied: "Yes, Tia Doma has what we need."

"But you don't necessarily need nine tokens to exchange them, right?" Elizabeth looked at Shen Yi when she was speaking.

Shen Yi sighed, and replied lightly: "Speak."

Elizabeth continued: "Why do you insist on detaining one more pirate king instead of two or three? Maybe I should understand this: three tokens are the bottom line for getting what you need. So you have to enter the city of sunken ships At least one more Pirate King will be detained before going to the Shipwreck City after making sure to get three tokens... Am I right?"

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and Hong Lang didn't expect that Elizabeth, a woman, would be so cunning, and quickly grasped the most critical point.

That's right, if Shen Yi and the others can have one more token of the Pirate King, plus a map of the end of the world, then the Eternal Night Aurora Token and the Curse-Resolving Potion will be in the palm of their hand. Solve the imminent key first, and then consider expanding the results of the battle. This has always been the only rule of action.

The problem is that an inevitable consequence of this situation is that adventurers who have completed the bottom line requirements are bound to be unable to fight desperately in the next action. They will definitely prepare a way out for themselves-if the situation is unfavorable, they will flee immediately.

People's attitude towards extra gains should always be to get them if they can, and to give up if they can't. They should never bet on their lives.

This is exactly Shen Yi's plan all along.

But this is obviously unacceptable to Jack Sparrow and others.

The needs of Shen Yi and others can be discounted, but his needs cannot be—only when Tia Doma is released, the threat of him being chased and killed by the ghost ship can be truly relieved, and Verduna can rescue his father.

He could bear Shen Yi and others taking most of the benefits, but he couldn't bear the failure of Tiyadoma's unblocking operation.

This is the biggest problem in the cooperation between the two parties, but it was unexpectedly revealed by Elizabeth at this moment.

This woman is also a vase role in Pirates of the Caribbean, but in the mission world of Bloody City, she plays the role of Jack Sparrow's think tank.

The adventurers who had seen through the details were speechless for a while, and Jack Sparrow glared at Shen Yi viciously. Compared with the funny and funny Captain Jack in the original work, this man in front of him was more fierce and kind. Much less unreasonable.

"Cooperation requires a premise of mutual benefit. We cannot cooperate with an ally who has no will to fight and is ready to flee at any time." Elizabeth said coldly, "So we cannot accept your decision to detain another Pirate King."

"Then you mean to force us to fight six pirate kings at the same time?" Hong Lang shouted angrily.

"So you're admitting that you didn't have that plan in the first place? The so-called cooperation is all a lie?" Elizabeth asked back.

Elizabeth's flexibility and cunning caused everyone a headache, and everyone looked at Shen Yi together at this moment.

King Kong spread his hands: "Trouble is coming, you can figure it out."

Shen Yi smiled: "It's nothing, you just have to face six pirate kings at the same time. Captain Jack is right, there is not much difference between dealing with five and dealing with six at the same time. If this is the case, well, I agree to abandon the plan to intercept another Pirate King, and focus all targets on the Pirate Guild in the Shipwreck City."

"That's about the same."

"But you have to promise me one thing."

"what?"

"It's up to me to decide how to do it and when to do it. You can only cooperate with me and not interfere with me."

Elizabeth and Jack Sparrow glanced at each other.

They thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, but I hope you don't let us down."

"certainly."

"In that case, what are we waiting for?"

"Set off!"

The goal has been established, and everyone will set off immediately without wasting time.

Night voyage at sea is extremely risky, but with Jack Sparrow, the veteran at sea, there is no need to worry too much. The fleet sailed all the way to the predetermined location, and gradually disappeared into the distance.

———————————

I don't know how long it has passed, a new fleet finally appeared in this sea area that was once full of killings, and the leading merchant ship flying the bloody flag was the fleet of the blood-stinging team.

As the fleet was sailing in the sea, a sailor on the mast suddenly shouted: "Look over there!"

Several adventurers rushed to the deck, followed the direction of the sailor, and saw a few pieces of wood floating in the distance, and one or two sporadic corpses.

Yu Li turned his head and shouted: "Boss!"

Xie Rongjun appeared beside Yu Li like a ghost, followed by two strange men.

Looking at the wreckage on the sea, Xie Rongjun looked at a big man with a shirtless body behind him. The big man took a step forward, carefully observed the sea for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The wreckage comes from at least three different ships. There are many pieces. And it is very fine, with burnt marks on the corners and bullet holes on the board, which should be caused by guns. The broken sail is a black triangular sail. Judging from the shape and color, only pirate ships will use it...it should be a pirate ship wreckage."

His name is Tu Yuan, and he is a new adventurer. His personal strength is not strong, but his water-based specialization ability is already at the expert level. Before he entered the bloody city, he was a sailor. His life at sea all the year round made him more adaptable to the world of missions in the Caribbean than others. As long as it was related to the sea, he could tell it just by looking at it. What ship was that from, and when did it happen.

Xie Rongjun's face was gloomy: "Can you be sure who did it?"

"I can't, I'm afraid you need to do it yourself." The man pointed to the west: "It floated from there, and the battlefield should be near there."

Xie Rongjun immediately ordered: "Turn the rudder to the left, fill the sails, move closer to the western waters, and the Beastmaster will go and see what he finds there."

The fleet turned quickly and headed west.

After sailing for a few minutes, the fleet stopped.

Another bearded man behind Xie Rongjun took off his coat and jumped out of the boat.

He swam around in the sea, his nose moved from time to time, as if he was sniffing something. After a while, another one plunged into the water, and it took a long time to surface, but it was already a hundred meters away.

The big man shouted at Xie Rongjun: "Come here!"

The fleet slowly entered the area where the big man was.

The burly man known as the Beastmaster climbed back onto the boat and said to Xie Rongjun: "Yu'er told me that the battle is near this area. But there may be some errors, there is no way, this is the sea, and I can't get the exact coordinates."

Xie Rongjun replied coldly: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can be within the range of vision, that's enough."

With that said, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Opening his eyes suddenly, his eyes turned into a miserable white.

Skill retroactive activation!

The hands of the clock seemed to be moved slightly by someone, and the world in Xie Rongjun's eyes began to go backwards. He saw his ship go back and forth, followed by a world of calm and darkness, as if nothing had ever existed.

However, as time continued to move forward, Xie Rongjun saw a fleet of ships in the distance backing back to this area, about 50 meters away from where he was at the moment.

This distance is enough for him to see the people on the boat clearly.

It was Shen Yi who he was familiar with and hated extremely.

They walked and talked on the boat, just like the silent world in a black and white movie, you can only see their movements, but you can't hear what they are saying.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blows.

A few clear words spread to his ears along the wind...

The memory disappeared, and Xie Rongjun showed a satisfied look on his face.

"How is it? Boss." Di Yu asked anxiously.

"They are going to the city of the sunken ship, together with the Black Pearl to seize the token of the nine pirate kings...and finally caught him!" Xie Rongjun hit the hull of the ship with his right hand, sending debris flying all over the sky.
