Chapter 335 The Hunting Begins!
Jujiao Island Harbor,
Patrick was wearing a simple brown singlet. His slightly curly short black hair was clean and neat. His solid muscles held up the singlet. His fierce aura made the ordinary people working around him shiver in their hearts and they did not dare to look at him.
As a Druid who is proficient in [Natural Transformation], Patrick does not need to equip armor, and normal equipment will have no effect after he transforms.
After Patrick got off the [Hurricane], many figures followed him and got off the ship, anxious and unwilling to wait for the ladder to be lowered normally.
"Boss Patrick, let's go have fun first~"
"Hey, boss, do you want to have a drink with me tonight?"
"I want Rui Ji to see my glory!"
"Yes, yes, you'd better go quickly, otherwise won't you be dumbfounded if your little sweetheart is taken away by someone else first?"
Patrick nodded slightly and watched his men walking in small groups towards the town on the edge of the port. All he could think about was women and wine.
But he didn't care, as long as he was obedient on the boat anyway, he didn't want to care about what they were doing at this time, and he was too lazy to care.
This time he chose to stop here. In addition to replenishing supplies and letting his pirates vent, he had more important things to do.
Bighorn Town, Storm Tavern, second floor.
Patrick was relaxing in this private and luxurious room. The carefully crafted sofa made of tanned calfskin wrapped Patrick's body. Under his feet was a delicate and gorgeous golden red carpet. The light incense from the southern elf forest filled the air. .
Although Bighorn Island is in the Pearl Sea, these enjoyments are no worse than those of the nobles of the Berdych Kingdom. Looking at Patrick, he has become accustomed to these enjoyments.
Shaking the Pat Champagne from the southern part of Berdych Kingdom in his hand, he watched the golden liquid rolling in the bottle, and drank directly to the mouth of the bottle without using a glass.
"You still like drinking champagne so much, don't you want something else?"
"I have ice wine from the Kingdom of Dillon. Recently they have developed a route from the sea to Berdych. Many things are very hot!"
At this time, someone pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at Patrick and shook his head and said.
Looking at this, he seems to be quite familiar with Patrick.
"Come on, Jessea, just say what you want!"
"I understand. I will keep an eye on those ships from the Dillon Kingdom. Don't worry."
Patrick didn't even raise his head. As a gold-level professional, he had already noticed the approaching arrival, but he didn't pay attention because he was familiar with him, and he spoke quite casually.
What's more, he came here just to find Jesiah.
"Hey, isn't it exciting to see those people from Dillon Kingdom making a lot of money?"
Jesiah said with a smile, carrying a bottle of dark red wine, sitting opposite Patrick, and started drinking by himself.
"You also know that the church's arrangement in the Kingdom of Fes failed, and only the God Envoy survived. This is really a traumatic experience."
Jesiah is also a member of the Church of Beasts. Although he is not strong, his status in the church is not much lower than Patrick.
Recently, he came to the Berdych Kingdom to clean up the mess. He wanted to re-establish the secret arrangement of the Church of All Beasts on the east coast so that Patrick would not have to worry about the follow-up matters.
After all, Patrick's pirate ship provides a very important source of funds for the Church of All Beasts. It is precisely because of this that the Church of All Beasts gave Patrick the extremely precious extraordinary magic ship [Hurricane] for use.
It's just that the church didn't expect that the plan in Bright Light City, which was obviously a sure thing, would fail so completely.
Not only were the incarnations of the Lord of Beasts killed by those hateful legends, but all the gold-level professionals who went to Bright Light City stayed there and were taken advantage of.
This is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the Church of Ten Thousand Beasts. You must know that not only the manpower is lost, but also the many extraordinary monsters that the Church spent a great deal of money to collect as sacrifices, all of which have failed.
Patrick took a swig of wine, his face gloomy.
The loss on Warcraft alone was basically equivalent to his more than ten years of piracy career being wasted.
If it weren't for the fact that Bright City was the capital of the Kingdom of Fes, and there were legendary strong men from both the royal family and the Church of Dawn, he would have rushed over and made a scene with his temper.
"Huh~"
"A bunch of trash, even that guy Petar!"
Ignoring Patrick's anger, Jesiah felt the deep red wine melting on the tip of his tongue, with the fragrance of sunshine and earth spreading in his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Things have already happened. There is no point in complaining."
"Even His Majesty Alvin is quite angry, but in the end he can't change the final result."
"You think that the Kingdom of Fes is the same as the Kingdom of Berdych. It is best to succeed, and there is nothing you can do if it fails."
Upon hearing Alvin's name, Patrick straightened up immediately and asked carefully:
"Did the teacher ask me to do anything?"
"It's nothing. His Majesty Alvin said you are doing a good job, keep up the good work."
Jesiah was not surprised. After all, he was the only legendary strongman in the Church of All Beasts and the teacher of [Blood Shark] Patrick. Patrick's behavior was normal.
Although Jesiah is a subordinate of another legendary strongman, the leader of the Church of Beasts, he has a very good relationship with Patrick, and he doesn't care that much in private.
"Hmm~ I know."
Patrick nodded. The teacher's intention was to let him continue to raise wealth for the church on the Pearl Sea.
But he didn't care. After all, he has lived at sea for so long and he has become accustomed to this kind of life. As he grows older, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to continue to improve his strength. It is even more difficult to touch the legendary realm. It's difficult, it's better to stay peacefully in the Pearl Sea.
After all, he didn't think anyone could harm him on his territory.
"As long as you know it well, I have already solved all the matters in the Berdych Kingdom. Someone will come over to deal with you later."
"I'm leaving after we're done here. I don't know when we will see you next."
Jesiah put down the wine glass in his hand and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Jesiah, it's all thanks to you this time."
When Patrick heard this, he expressed some gratitude.
After all, he really couldn't rebuild those hidden lines and arrangements, so the church asked Jesiah to come over and help him. Now that the task was completed, Jesiah would naturally not stay on the east coast.
Jesiah is not very strong, but he is quite good at laying out hidden lines and establishing gangs, so he is much busier than him, a pirate captain.
"Where are you going after that?"
Patrick grabbed the bottle and touched it with Jesiah, took a big sip of champagne, wiped his mouth and asked him.
"Maybe to the central part? I don't know the specific situation yet."
Jesiah shrugged, not hiding it.
"You also know that after the Kingdom of Fes went to war against the Kingdom of Berdych, this continent began to become turbulent."
"Those sanctimonious Zhengshen Church did not choose to take action this time. This is our opportunity. I think we should light the fire."
Jesiah said with a smile, unaware of how many lives may have died under the influence of the Church of Beasts.
For the Evil God Church and cultists, ordinary people are resources and firewood, materials that allow them to go further.
As for mercy, if any of them didn't have hundreds or thousands of lives on their hands, they wouldn't have that kind of thing long ago.
"Then I wish you a safe journey!"
Patrick smiled and said that Jesiah came to help him solve his worries this time, and also allowed him to devote more energy to the great piracy business of robbing merchant ships.
Just recently, due to the war, the navy of the Kingdom of Berdych has declined greatly.
How could he miss such a good opportunity.
Recently, there have been more and more new pirates appearing on the Pearl Sea, and it has become more and more chaotic.
This is not okay, it has already caused losses to his interests!
You know, because of the war between the Kingdom of Berdych and the Kingdom of Fes in the West, most of the trade routes have been completely cut off, so Berdych's maritime trade has become more prosperous.
Patrick is ambitious and has a promising future!
——
It was late at night, except for some lights and noises in Bighorn Town, the entire island and sea had fallen into darkness and silence.
The breeze came, and waves came from the direction of the dock. There were many drunken pirates and sailors lying on the roadside from the town to the port, sleeping like dead pigs.
Of course, more people are now immersed in the gentle land!
In the shadow of a corner of the pier, it was dark and hazy, and Li Si stood there quietly without making any sound.
Even if a normal person walked past him, they would not be able to notice that someone was standing there in the darkness.
Thanks to the bonus of the assassin professional specialty [Shadow Crown], Li Si was as silent as a top assassin at this time, just like a top hunter in the dark, quietly waiting for the arrival of the hunting target.
Hearing the sound of waves and the shouts of sailors from time to time, Li Si waited there expressionlessly, just waiting for [Blood Shark] Patrick to appear.
During the day, after Aivar brought back the news that the Hurricane appeared outside the harbor of Big Horn Island, Li Si quickly came to the port.
Although Patrick was not seen at that time, the legendary ship "Hurricane" was parked at the port, and many people were busy moving goods up and down.
Wherever [Hurricane] is, [Blood Shark] Patrick is there!
Therefore, Li Si was not in a hurry and waited quietly at the port.
Looking at this pirate ship wrapped in a faint magical aura, the hull is slender and streamlined, and the light cyan magic painting makes it more suitable for and attract the wind element magic particles. In Li Si's elemental vision, [Hurricane] is like a The cyan lighthouse is usually particularly eye-catching.
"What a gorgeous boat! I love it!"
"It will be my ship soon!"
Li Si nodded naturally. He didn't think [Blood Shark] Patrick would have any objections to this.
Just kidding, what would a dead person say?
However, even though Li Si said this, he still attached great importance to hunting [Blood Shark] Patrick in his heart, and had prepared a lot of plans and strategies for this.
It would not be wise to attack Patrick in this port town. After all, there are gold-level professionals stationed here, otherwise it would be impossible to suppress those lawless pirates.
If Li Si takes action in a small town, the golden man must take action to stop Li Si in order to maintain order, but it is different in ports and overseas.
If he wasn't on that person's territory, he wouldn't be willing to attack Li Si for a pirate.
Looking at the stars twinkling on the black satin sky, it was already late at night, but Li Si was not anxious at all.
[Blood Shark] Patrick never stays out overnight, so he is bound to pass through the road in front of Li Si and return to the [Hurricane].
So after Li Si confirmed that Patrick had entered the town, he stayed here alone and asked Aivar to return to the Eagle to bring Charles and Bazelle over.
After Li Si lured Patrick away, the task of the three of them was to directly control the [Hurricane] and not let it interfere with Li Si's battle.
After all, this has been regarded as his property by Li Si, so naturally he cannot bear to have it damaged.
Li Si didn't worry about the three Charles.
Although there are many pirates on the [Hurricane], there is no other gold-level professional. With the strength of the three top silvers, there is no problem in controlling the situation, at least until Li Si comes back. .
Just as Li Si was rethinking his previous plan in his mind, a burly figure appeared at the entrance of the pier.
Li Si's attention was instantly focused, and he felt the powerful aura of the golden rank from this person!
Looking at the face that looked similar to the wanted poster, Li Si quickly determined that it was [Blood Shark] Patrick.
Seeing Patrick walking towards the [Hurricane], Li Si began to hold his breath and concentrate his magic power.
Because Li Si was far superior to Patrick in terms of affinity to the shadow plane and ability to hide his aura, Patrick was not aware of Li Si's secret movements at all.
In an instant, Li Si's magic power had been condensed, and a broad bright white light came out of the newspaper in Li Si's hand and hit Patrick directly.
Sixth Ring Spell [Repulsion]!
Patrick, who was in a good mood and was walking towards the Hurricane, suddenly received an alert from his spiritual sense, and a huge white beam of light came towards him from behind.
Sneak attack? !
However, Patrick had no time to defend himself at this time and could only raise his arms to block his body.
When the white light beam hit Patrick, he felt an irresistible huge force acting on him. His body retreated uncontrollably and was directly knocked back more than a hundred meters.
Patrick, who finally controlled his body, shook his arms. At this time, he was already far away from the dock and stepping on the sea.
He was surprised to find that he didn't suffer any skin injuries. The purpose of the spell seemed to be to get him to leave the dock.
After Li Si cast the [Repulsion Spell], he watched Patrick's figure fly backwards without any surprise. He also flashed and quickly flew towards the location where Patrick landed with the emerald staff.
The sixth-level spell [Repulsion], the principle of this spell is somewhat similar to [Circle of Resistance]. They are both protective spells and are generally used by mages to repel close enemies.
The scope of effect of [Ring of Resistance] surrounds the user, while [Repulsion] is a directional spell, but the effect of [Repulsion] is more powerful. As long as it can hit the enemy, the knockback effect is better than that of [Ring of Resistance]. 】Several times stronger.
But for ordinary mages, [Ring of Resistance] is obviously more practical.
But here, Li Si chose [Repulsion Technique] to let Patrick enter above the sea and leave the location of the port.
After making sure that he was fine, Patrick also saw the figure approaching him quickly.
This breath... Silver level?
Patrick even laughed a little angrily, and the anger from the attack just now became more intense.
When did a silver-level person have the courage to attack him [Blood Shark] Patrick?
Sure enough, are they the new pirates who appeared in the Pearl Sea? Want to step on me to get the upper hand?
Patrick pointed with his right hand, and a huge silver-white flame suddenly appeared in front of the figure, and the raging flames were about to engulf him completely.
Druid spell [Starfire]!
Although Patrick is a Druid who is good at [Natural Transformation], he has mastered some Druid spells, and using them is no less powerful than an ordinary golden mage.
When Li Si saw this, several layers of elemental shields appeared in front of him.
At this time, he did not dare to underestimate Patrick at all. After all, this was Li Si's first face-to-face battle with a gold-level powerhouse, and it was different from using air superiority to tease Abbas like before.
The three-layer elemental shield suddenly shattered under the bombardment of [Starfire], but Li Si had already rushed through the flame-filled area.
In Patrick's field of vision, the black figure suddenly passed through the large group of silver-white flames and quickly approached him. There were only sporadic flames on his body, and he seemed not to be affected at all.
Looking at the staff held in this man's hand and the shield on his body that shone with magical aura just now, Patrick instantly realized that the person who attacked him was a silver-level mage.
what's the situation? How dare a silver-level mage show his face?
And why is his speed so fast?
Patrick was a little dazed, but his rich combat experience made him subconsciously ready for close combat.
It can be seen from the strong muscles all over his body that what he is best at is actually close combat.
But when the two were about to collide, he saw Li Si suddenly stagnating in mid-air as if violating the laws of physics, and the staff in his hand began to flash with blue-purple lightning.
At this time, Patrick could step forward to stop Li Si from casting the spell, but he was stunned.
He felt the aura left by the Lord of Beasts from Li Si's body, just like the two minions before.
"Hahahahaha, okay!"
"I didn't expect you to arrive at my door, my lord's prey!"
Patrick didn't care about the spell that Li Si was accumulating, and looked at Li Si with joy.
"I think my Lord will be very happy to offer you as a sacrifice!"
Li Si looked at Patrick's steady expression in front of him and didn't care.
Sixth Ring Arcane [Li Si’s Thunder Domain]!
Countless blue-purple thick thunderbolts fell from mid-air and hit Patrick hard.
Patrick frowned as he looked at the thunder coming towards him.
It felt like this thunder spell clearly exceeded the silver level and was already a bit of a threat to him.
But that's it, Patrick avoided most of the thunder, and other aftermaths were nothing to him.
Many sailors and islands near the dock also noticed the situation here and turned their attention here.
Seeing that the arcane spell he had just cast had no effect, Li Si didn't care. He released a blue fireball again and hit Patrick. Then he turned around and flew towards the depths of the sea without seeing the effect.
Although Patrick is a druid, his agility attribute at gold level is not lower than that of silver level assassin.
After dodging the fireball, he noticed that Li Si seemed to be running away, so he quickly chased after him.
Normally, Patrick would not let go of a guy like this who offended him, not to mention that this was a prey marked by the Lord of Beasts, so how could he let him go so easily.
Patrick, who hadn't really done anything just now, just used his best skill, Druid [Natural Transformation], just to be safe!
I saw Patrick's body wrapped in the magical aura, turning into a giant shark seven meters long, covered in blood.
boom!
The huge shark slammed into the sea, sending sprays of water flying straight into the night sky.
Immediately, a huge triangular black fin appeared on the sea surface, cutting through the sea surface and quickly chasing Li Si in the direction he left.
On the other side, Li Si quickly flew towards the depths of the sea, where Big Horn Island was no longer visible.
Suddenly, countless water cannons burst out at him from the sea below him.
Li Si continuously used magic shields to block the water gun, but his speed inevitably slowed down.
A huge bloody figure also took advantage of this to block Li Si's face. It was Patrick who had transformed into [Blood Shark Form].
Patrick stopped Li Si and was not in a hurry. He slightly opened his bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and looked at Li Si with a smile.
It's just that the plane of his smile is a bit too ferocious, and ordinary people might faint from horror when they see it.
However, Li Si didn't pay attention. Instead, he looked at the blood shark in front of him with an inquiring expression.
By the way, I'm really curious about what happens inside the Druid's body after his transformation!
Patrick saw that Li Si did not show the fearful expression as he thought, and knelt down to beg for mercy. Instead, he listened to him with this strange look, which made him suddenly feel a little uncomfortable.
Patrick shook his head, putting these strange thoughts behind him, looked at Li Si and said:
"What is your name? As a sacrifice to my lord first, I allow you to leave your last words."
"Is it your Lord of Beasts?"
Li Si also had a confident smile on his face. You thought you were stopping me. Why wasn't it me who led you here?
As soon as Li Si finished speaking, three rings of silver, green and blue suddenly appeared, surrounding Li Si.
Sixth Ring Arcane [Li Si’s Thunder Domain]!
Sixth Ring Arcana [Lee Si’s Destruction Storm]!
Sixth Ring Arcana [Li Si’s Wave Prison]!
? ? ? ? ?
Looking at the terrifying thunder falling in front of him, the giant tornado that rolled up countless wild waves, and the seawater cage that enclosed a 100-meter square circle around him, many question marks popped up on Patrick's head.
What's happening here?
The power of the spells in front of him was obviously several times stronger than before, and he felt a great sense of threat from them.
The spell of the silver mage in front of him can actually pose a fatal threat to him!
And that was just now
Patrick suddenly realized what those rings were, and looked at Li Si in mid-air, who looked indifferent.
Extraordinary realm? !
