The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 531 Zhu Ziming's End
Seeing all the strange things happening in front of him, a thought quickly flashed through Zhu Ziming's mind:
This is a premeditated ambush!
As we all know, outlying islands have never been monolithic.

Due to the fierce competition between the lords of the outlying islands, vicious incidents such as a lord of an outlying island blatantly ambushing foreign refugees have not happened in the outlying islands for many years.

Realizing that the other party wanted to murder him, Zhu Ziming immediately yelled: "My lord, I have no grievances against you. You have completely broken the rules of the outlying island for many years by ambushing the fugitives from Zhongzhou who came to seek refuge. If other lords find out about this, you may never be able to do this political asylum business again in the future, I suggest you stop immediately, everything is easy to discuss, and I can even pretend that what just happened never happened!"

However, the answer to Zhu Ziming was the second round of sharper ballista salvos.

Since the trajectory of the first shot was used for calibration, the sight and destructive power of the second ballista salvo were much greater. A total of six ballistas hit Zhu Ziming's stowaway. This time, Zhu Ziming's Not only was a hole opened in the side of the stowaway, but the main mast was shot down in half, causing his ship's speed to drop sharply.

Zhu Ziming has realized at this moment that the other party has no intention of negotiating with him at all.

He hurriedly ordered to the panicked sailors: "Turn around and leave! We have just entered the Great Formation of Smoke and Waves. As long as we can turn around and leave, these people from outlying islands will never dare to chase them out!"

It's a pity that Zhu Ziming's order was obviously a bit late.

Although the rate of fire of the enemy's ballista was not fast, the speed of the stowaway's turn-around was also very slow. As soon as the bow of the ship was turned over here, the third round of ballista salvo over there had already blasted over.

After this round of shelling, Zhu Ziming's crew had suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining sailors were barely able to stop the ship from sinking, let alone steer the ship away.

Seeing the crew of the Zhujia Chamber of Commerce running around like headless chickens, Zhu Ziming knew that the ship was hopeless.

However, at this time, Zhu Ziming couldn't even abandon the ship and flee, because he didn't have the same type of training plug-in assistance from Yang Lu, and he still only had a mere second-level cultivation of Qi Refining, and he still couldn't control the flight of light. With boats and aura supplies, he simply couldn't swim thousands of miles and cover hundreds of miles of smoke waves.

Now before Zhu Ziming, there are only two choices:

The first way is to snatch an opponent's ship, and then quickly sail into the misty area of ​​the Thousand Miles of Smoke Array. As long as he is out of the range covered by the Thousand Miles of Smoke Waves, he can absorb spiritual energy from the world again. He can not eat or drink, and even if he drifts with the tide, he will be rescued sooner or later;
The second method is to board the opponent's flagship and behead him. The person who leads the team to ambush him should be a certain outlying island lord. With the dictatorship system of the outlying island lord, as long as he can catch the opponent's boss, he can act as the emperor. To make the effect of the princes.

Either way, he must board the opposing ship!

However, after observing the several large ocean-going merchant ships that participated in the siege, Zhu Ziming found in despair that the opponents were clearly prepared. In order to prevent himself, a cultivator, from taking advantage of it, all the enemy ships shot at a distance of more than a hundred feet , and the opponent's flagship, in order to prevent it from being beheaded, was directly parked at a safe distance two miles away and commanded remotely.

Even if a cultivator's jumping ability is amazing, before he has the escape light, he can't jump a hundred feet away to seize the ship by force, and the flagship is nearly three miles away, making it difficult for Zhu Ziming's spells to hit!
Therefore, Zhu Ziming could only watch helplessly as the smuggling boat he was on was crumbling by the other party's bombardment.

Although it is not easy to sink a ship with a ballista, the stowaway boat that cannot support Zhu Ziming is a living target. When the firepower of the ballista ceases, the stowaway ship has inevitably capsized sideways.

Seeing that his own ship was about to sink, Zhu Ziming finally became impatient. He quickly found a small wooden board with a suitable size, and prepared to use the remaining spells in his body to attack the opponent's flagship by surfing.

This idea is not Zhu Ziming's whimsy. With the blessing of the wind control spell and the teleportation spell, he can use this ordinary wooden board as a speedboat!
Although this method was a waste of mana, it was the only way out for Zhu Ziming to survive. If he could capture the thief first, he might still have a chance!
Just when Zhu Ziming was about to use the surfboard to take the opponent's flagship directly, an accident happened. He saw a strange merchant ship suddenly sailing towards the side and rear of the stowaway.

The draft of this strange merchant ship is not shallow, and it seems that it should be an ocean-going merchant ship specially transporting goods to outlying islands. It may be because the ballista shooting has gradually stopped. This third-party merchant ship does not seem to be aware that these ships are exchanging fire in front of them. Wait for it to find out When something goes wrong, it's too late to turn around and run away.

It wasn't until Zhu Ziming got close to the distance of about [-] feet behind the merchant ship that the merchant ship could barely complete the turn, and this distance was no longer insurmountable for the second-level practitioners of Qi Refining!
After realizing this, Zhu Ziming immediately changed his mind:
If he could snatch this strange merchant ship that suddenly broke into the battlefield, he might not be able to escape!

Before his own ship sank completely, Zhu Ziming quickly climbed onto the mast of the smuggling ship, and then jumped at the third-party ship that accidentally broke into the battlefield. , Zhu Ziming's figure swooped down on the deck of the target merchant ship like a gliding wild goose.

This strange merchant ship has already turned around. As long as the merchant ship can be coerced into the misty area of ​​the vast array of smoke and waves, the outlying island fleet, which has exhausted its ballista ammunition, may not be able to catch up to him!
The crew members of the Outlying Islands Fleet who participated in the siege seemed to have noticed his actions, and aimed at him with strong bows and crossbows. However, this kind of mortal individual bow and crossbow not only has low accuracy, but also has poor damage. In addition, the distance between the two sides is too far. The few arrows that hit could not break through Zhu Ziming's protective energy at all.

Finally, Zhu Ziming stepped onto the deck of the merchant ship steadily.

Zhu Ziming, who boarded the third-party merchant ship, just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to order the sailors to turn around and flee away from the vast array of mist, but he was surprised to find that the crew of the merchant ship abandoned the ship and jumped ocean.

Now Zhu Ziming was instantly stunned.

Jumping into the sea in this kind of place, even if there are ships nearby to search and rescue, the probability of survival is not particularly high. Why would they rather jump into the sea than temporarily accept the command of their own master?
Not only that, but the number of crew members on this strange merchant ship seems to be too small.

Zhu Ziming took a rough look, and there were only a dozen or so crew members who jumped off this merchant ship, and then they couldn't feel the breath of life. With such a small number of crew members, it is not bad to be able to steer the ship in a straight line. .

At this moment, relying on the five senses and sense of smell strengthened by the spell, Zhu Ziming could still smell the faint smell of sulfur in the air, even the strong sea breeze in the outlying islands did not blow away the smell.Before Zhu Ziming realized what the smell represented, the ship he was on exploded violently.

I saw that the originally vast sea was torn apart by an invisible hand, violent fireballs soared into the sky, and the powerful shock waves formed by a series of explosions directly blew up the hull of the ship, and then drove the sea water to spread rapidly in all directions. Zhu Ziming didn't even use a protective spell before being engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
