Chapter 431: Sea Demon, Haider’s Last Order, Tang San’s Same Encounter
"A-Qing, do you want me to just take care of them directly?" Teacher Erlong yawned.
She hadn’t even activated her Spirit, just leaning lazily against the mast.
Her fiery red long hair was fluttering in the sea breeze.
Lin Qingmo waved his hand, his gaze falling on the young girls behind him who were rolling up their sleeves.
"No need."
"Let Xiao Wu and the others handle this group."
"Practical combat is the best teacher; it’s the perfect opportunity to practice and accumulate experience in fighting against Sea Soul Masters."
"Understood!"
"We’ve been waiting for so long!"
"Finally, we can stretch our muscles!"
Xiao Wu was the first to rush out.
Her pinkish-white figure drew an arc under the starry night, her scorpion braid spreading out in the air like the tail flame of a meteor.
She didn’t even activate her Spirit.
Relying solely on physical speed and soft skills, she kicked the pirate at the very front flying.
That burly man, nearly 1.8 meters tall, flew over the ship’s side like a kite with a broken string, tracing a not-so-graceful parabola in the air.
Then, with a splash, he fell into the pitch-black seawater, the water spray sparkling under the moonlight.
"Sister Xiao Wu hasn’t even started warming up yet!" Xiao Wu landed and brushed the non-existent dust off her hands.
Dugu Yan was the second to make a move.
The Jade Phosphor SerpentSpirit appeared behind her.
Dark green snake scales shimmered with an eerie light under the starlight.
With a flick of her fingers, several strands of Green Phosphorus Snake venom shot silently toward the group of pirates.
Two pirates attempting to bypass the ship’s side to sneak toward the stern had only taken two steps before their legs went weak, and they collapsed onto the deck, convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
The complexions of those two pirates turned purple-green at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Disgusting."
Dugu Yan looked down at her fingers and frowned.
Zhu Zhuqing appeared silently behind the lead pirate.
The speed of the Hell Civet was maximized in the night, her entire person seemingly blending into the darkness itself.
The lead pirate only felt a bone-chilling coldness on the back of his neck.
Instinctively, he lunged forward!
He narrowly avoided the sharp claws that slashed toward his throat.
But his shoulder was still torn with three bloodstains deep enough to see bone, and fresh blood splashed onto the deck like a dark red flower.
Ning Rongrong stood at the entrance of the cabin, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda slowly rotating in her palm.
A light of amplification fell precisely on every teammate—Strength Amplification, Speed Amplification, spirit power Amplification, Defense Amplification, all maxed out!
"The third person on the port side shows signs of spirit power condensation."
Ye Lingling did not participate in the fight.
She stood by the ship’s side, holding a silver needle, calmly recording while watching the battle.
"It’s a fish Spirit, inclined toward the water attribute; he is preparing to launch a long-range attack."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing’s figure had already appeared on the port side.
Zhu Zhuqing kicked the pirate who hadn’t had time to condense his spirit power flying.
The pirate did three somersaults in the air, landing face-first, and passed out without even a groan.
Bai Chenxiang’s performance exceeded everyone’s expectations.
This girl, who had been pale from seasickness, now spread the wings of the Needle Tailed Swift, like a bolt of lightning in the night sky.
Her combat power was not as high as the others.
But her speed and aerial advantage made her the perfect observer and pursuer.
Not a single pirate could jump into the sea to escape under her lockdown.
One attempted to climb over the ship’s side to flee.
He was halfway over when Bai Chenxiang swooped down from the sky and stepped on his back.
The entire person was plastered against the ship’s side like a flattened pancake.
"Where are you running to?"
Bai Chenxiang’s voice came from the sky, completely different from her usual timidity.
The battle lasted exactly two minutes from start to finish.
On the ship’s deck, pirates lay scattered, foaming at the mouth, limbs twitching, or covered in wounds.
Some were crying and holding their heads.
Some had passed out directly.
And one, kicked by Xiao Wu until his head was crooked, lay on the ground moaning with his neck twisted, looking just like a rooster with a broken neck.
The lead pirate had been poisoned by Dugu Yan.
"Yanzi, leave one alive." Lin Qingmo spoke up.
Dugu Yan, who was about to completely poison the last pirate with any resistance left, paused at these words, her fingers stopping.
The Green Phosphorus Snake venom stopped just three inches from the man’s nose.
The dark green poison mist swirled in the night sky before being dispersed by the sea breeze.
She shrugged, retracted her hand dismissively, and then grabbed the pirate by the collar, tossing him in front of Lin Qingmo like trash.
The man fell heavily onto the deck, having no strength left to even crawl up.
He was trembling all over, looking at Lin Qingmo as if looking at a devil in human skin.
His lips quivered for a long time, but not a single word could be squeezed out.
"Speak."
Lin Qingmo squatted down, his tone so calm it didn’t sound like he had just commanded a crushing battle, but rather like he was asking for prices from a street vendor.
"Who are you people?"
"And why did you follow and attack us?"
"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!"
The pirate was snot-nosed and teary-eyed, trembling like a sieve, his voice laced with a sob.
"We are pirates from the Sea Demon, our boss is called Haider!"
"We specialize in robbing merchant ships in this sea area, and when we saw your ship, we thought it was valuable, so we targeted you."
"We followed you for two full days!"
"We originally planned to make a move tonight, rob the ship, and then disguise it as a shipwreck accident, who knew... please don’t kill me!"
"Sea Demon? Haider?" Lin Qingmo’s eyebrows moved slightly.
"So that’s it."
Isn’t this the ship and the captain that Tang San rented when he went to Sea God Island in the original work?
In the original work, Tang San rented the Sea Demon.
Captain Haider was ostensibly a legitimate merchant ship owner.
In reality, he was a pirate who killed and looted.
"How should we handle this?"
Zhu Zhuqing retracted her claws, her tone as cold as ever.
The pirates on the deck shuddered collectively upon hearing the word "handle."
"Teacher Erlong."
Lin Qingmo turned his head to look at Liu Erlong.
"Hmm?"
"There should be people left behind on the Sea Demon."
Lin Qingmo pointed to the pirate ship drifting not far away.
"Trouble you to make a trip and deal with the rest."
"No survivors? Then let me go!" Dugu Yan’s eyes lit up.
"That works too."
The sea breeze, carrying the smell of blood, permeated the deck.
Lin Qingmo had the terrified crew on the sea fish clean up the corpses on the deck.
Those sailors kept their heads down the whole time, not daring to look at him, their movements as nimble as if they were participating in some labor skills competition.
Are you kidding?
The young man in front of them had just commanded a group of young girls to wipe out the entire pirate group, and even the Spirit King leading them hadn’t lasted three moves.
With such a fierce star, you could live if you served him well.
If you didn’t serve him well, the next one thrown into the sea would be yourself.
"A-Qing."
Liu Erlong walked to his side and asked, "You’ve been distracted since just now, is there a problem with these pirates?"
"Nothing."
Lin Qingmo withdrew his gaze and said in a flat tone, "Just a group of ordinary pirates, not worth mentioning."
"Really?"
"Really."
Liu Erlong stared at him for two seconds.
She knew Lin Qingmo too well.
Every time this guy said "nothing," he was definitely thinking about something in his mind.
But she didn’t press.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to ask, but she knew that if Lin Qingmo felt it was necessary to say, he would naturally speak.
She patted his shoulder and turned to arrange the night watch rotation.
Lin Qingmo stood alone by the ship’s side, the night wind blowing his black hair into a mess.
He said "nothing" with his mouth, but his mind was calculating something entirely different.
Sea Demon, Haider, this name and this ship, in the trajectory of the original work, should have carried Tang San toward Sea God Island, but were led by Haider to the Demon Whale sea area.
That was the territory of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
That Spirit Beast hegemon with cultivation approaching a million years was the existence at the very top of the food chain in the entire ocean of the Douluo Continent.
Tang San had also encountered the Deep Sea Demon Whale King for the first time there.
"We won’t encounter it too, will we?"
Lin Qingmo felt a little worried.
Right now, they didn’t have the means to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Unless they were lucky enough to activate the Sea God phantom of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
The sea breeze suddenly picked up for a moment, blowing the sails until they bulged and rattled.
Lin Qingmo looked up at the night sky; the moon was obscured by a thin layer of clouds, and the starlight was dimmer than before.
He didn’t really like this feeling of guessing at crises.
