Chapter 298: Uncharted Waters: The Dragon's Daughter (Part )

(This chapter involves a lot of movie plots. If you don't like it, don't watch it. It won't waste your money and will not affect the overall plot.)
The artillery fire roared and smoke and dust rose.

The ground on the peaceful island was shaking, and in the caves on the island
Dozens of giant treasure ships fired their cannons at the same time, and shells rained down on the island. The thick smoke and the roar of artillery fire made it difficult to breathe.

The flying insects and animals on the island fled everywhere, and the pirates hiding in the jungle revealed their fear and hostility towards the Celestial Empire fleet in their panic.

The shells flew closer and closer, becoming more and more dense, and each shell hit the island accurately, instantly exploding with flames and smoke, radiating a burst of hot breath.

On the treasure ship, the soldiers looked relaxed, the gunners were loading the cannons skillfully, and the sound of cannons was endless.

The red cloak behind Princess Yongqing was blown wildly by the sea breeze, as if carrying a strong breath of death.

The sun and moon flags on the ship danced wildly in the wind. The officers and soldiers on board looked at the island with fireworks all around with contempt, as if they had seen the scene of the sea being conquered by the Celestial Empire again.

On the top of the mountain on the island, the pirates looked at the pirate ship with fear in their eyes, whispering to each other and discussing countermeasures.

The range of the artillery fire is not that far, this is just a deterrent from the Ming Dynasty fleet.

The artillery cannot harm them for the time being, but after the artillery salvo, the Ming Dynasty soldiers will soon land on the island to encircle and suppress them.

They were wandering samurai from Japan, losers in the power struggle.

To become a pirate is to lose the spirit of a samurai, and escape is the only option.

The pirates all set their sights on Uesugi Rumi who was on the top of the mountain. She was the noble lady of the family and also their leader.

Uesugi Rumi was wearing an exquisite kimono, but her hair was casually tied behind her head. A golden hairpin casually bound her black hair.

On the shaking ground, a huge green snake slowly crawled over. All the warriors knelt on the ground and kowtowed, not daring to look up.

The top of the green snake's head was slightly bulging as if it was about to grow horns, and its green scales glowed with a faint blue light in the sunlight.

The big snake crawled to Uesugi Rumi's feet, spit out its tongue, wrapped around her slender ankle, and slowly climbed up.

Uesugi Rumiko's kimono was arched up by the big snake, and the snake's cold body crawled on her body, making her squint her eyes and let out an extremely charming gasp.

The warriors lying on the ground lowered their bodies even lower, and no one dared to look up.

The big snake moved from Uesugi Rumi's legs to her chest, then crawled out from her smooth chest and onto her neck.

The snake's head rested on her face, making a hissing sound in her ear.

Uesugi Rumi rubbed the snake with her cheek, then turned around and looked at the pirate kneeling on the ground and said:
"The first fleet will stay here, and the rest of the fleets will leave through the secret channel. Notify the other pirate groups and tell them that the Ming army is coming!"

The warrior who was kneeling on the ground stood up and walked in front of her holding a golden scepter.

The giant snake slowly crawled from Uesugi Rumi's body onto the scepter. When the snake's head rested on the scepter, the gold and the scepter instantly became one.

The samurai led his men back with a scepter in hand, while Uesugi Rumi looked at the Ming army that was disembarking and landing on the island.

Princess Yongqing looked at the mountain on the island from afar. She narrowed her eyes slightly under the visor, drew her sword, jumped high on the bow of the ship, drew a graceful curve in the air, and landed on the beach of the island.

On the top of the mountain, Uesugi Rumi also took the samurai sword from her samurai, tore open the hem and collar of her kimono, and walked down the mountain.

Princess Yongqing looked at the pirates walking down the mountain, and anger slowly emerged in her eyes.

The majesty of the Celestial Empire has been challenged!
They have forgotten who is the king of this sea!

When the heavenly soldiers arrived, they did not offer their necks to be killed, but dared to resist the heavenly soldiers.

Princess Yongqing's visor slowly turned red, like a burning flame.

"Kill them all!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers behind Princess Yongqing drew their embroidered spring swords and rushed forward.

The samurai behind Uesugi Rumi also rushed forward with strange shouts and Japanese swords in hand.

In the dark and damp cave, a cloud of green smoke exploded.

On the golden scepter in the hands of a pirate, the snake's eyes turned green.

The dark deep pool of the cave began to tremble, and a crack slowly appeared. The pirate holding the scepter walked quickly in, and the pirates behind him followed him in.

After everyone walked in, the deep pool slowly merged back into a deep pool of water.

"Catch these sons of bitches! Make them cough up all their silver!"

The old captain wearing a cocked hat waved the whip in his hand and directed his pirates to rob a merchant ship not far away.

The pirate ship's three cannons continuously fired shells, which landed on the sea and stirred up high waves.

The crossbows on the deck continuously shot out large arrows with chains, which directly pierced through the side of the merchant ship and nailed it firmly on it.

The people in the cabin were also pierced through by sharp arrows and nailed to the wall of the ship.

The people on the merchant ship kept shouting and trying to turn around and escape, while those on the deck were also dodging crossbow arrows.

The pirate ship was getting closer and closer under the cover of arrows, crossbows and artillery fire. The people on the merchant ship began to grow tired of dodging and looked desperate.

Give up resistance. These are the pirates from the Whip of the Sea. They will not kill you all as long as you don't resist.

The captain of the pirate ship smiled and ordered his men to continue the fierce bombardment.

In the smoke, the pirates jumped onto the chains connecting the crossbows like ghosts and slid away!

A mysterious and terrifying scene formed in the black firelight.

Boom! The violent explosions continued to sound, making people tremble with fear.

A cannonball hit a cabin on the merchant ship, shattering the hull and sending wood chips flying.

The wooden boxes in the cabin were blown open by shells, revealing the exquisite porcelain inside that was shattered.

On the pirate ship, Hongguang also waved his round knife and tried to jump onto the chain and rush forward.

But he was whipped down by the captain.

The captain slowly retracted the whip, looked at Hongguang who was full of indignation and said coldly: "Slaves have no right to rob!"

Hongguang looked at him and shouted, "I'm not a slave! I'm a pirate!"

The captain didn't answer and swung the whip at him again. The whip, like an octopus tentacle, was firmly attached to Hongguang's body.

The captain pulled Hongguang back with force and he flew backwards and hit a pile of wooden barrels.

Hongguang sat up from the wood chips indignantly, holding the scimitar that he had never used before, and looked enviously at the pirates who were whizzing away along the chains.

On the merchant ship, a man in a white robe and a turban shouted angrily:

"You bunch of bandits! The fleet of the Ming Dynasty has already set out to sea! You will be blown to pieces by the fleet of the Celestial Empire!"

Hongguang suddenly sat up on the pirate ship that was already close, and shouted excitedly: "What did you say?! Is the Ming fleet coming again?!"

On the deck, the captain's wrinkled face showed a trace of worry, but he still waved his whip and shouted, "Rob them all! Leave no one alive!"

Hongguang turned his head and looked at him and shouted, "They are not resisting anymore! They have put down their knives!"

The only response Hongguang received was the captain's merciless whip.

"You broke your oath! The sea will curse you!"

Snapped!
This time the whip landed on Hongguang's face, leaving a scar on his handsome face and blood dripping down his chin onto the deck.

The sunlight shone on the drop of blood, emitting a bright light.

The merchant ships on the other side were already wailing, and the pirates were laughing wantonly, swinging their scimitars cruelly at anyone who wanted to resist.

The blood soon covered the deck and slowly seeped into the cracks in the deck.

"Country chickens and clay dogs!" On the island, Princess Yongqing shook the blood off the knife, looked at the corpses on the ground and looked towards the blue sea.

The woman jumped into the sea and escaped!
But I'll find her next time!

At this time in the sea, Uesugi Rumi was holding the trunk of the big snake and speeding underwater.

There was a knife wound on her smooth back, which was bleeding continuously.

The knife wound was just seven inches above the tattoo of a giant snake on her back.

Soon, Orochi and Uesugi Rumi rose above the sea and were pulled onto the pirate ship with ropes by the pirates.

After getting on the boat, Uesugi Rumi lifted her wet kimono to cover the knife wound on her back.

The big snake hissed and climbed onto Uesugi Rumi's body, drilled into her clothes, and slowly wrapped around her waist, finally coiling around her motionlessly.

None of the pirates around asked why Uesugi Rumi brought a team of people to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe it was to delay time, or maybe he wanted to kill the princess.

Uesugi Rumi threw the samurai sword in her hand to the ground. The blade was full of gaps and the tip had disappeared.

On the other side of the treasure ship, Princess Yongqing took off her helmet and visor.

The maid next to her took it and put it aside.

"Princess, do you want to rest here?"

"No, get to the Borneo Islands as soon as possible and rest there."

All the treasure ships set sail again. The small island behind the fleet was still emitting thick smoke, and the bodies of pirates lying on the beach were constantly washed away by the sea.

At night, huge waves arose on the sea, violent storms came like a punishment from heaven, and thick lightning illuminated the entire sea!

Princess Yongqing stood on the deck and looked solemnly at the huge waves crashing against the fleet.

At this time, a guard ran over, knelt on one knee and shouted: "Princess, the weather has changed suddenly and the waves are too big. We must rush out as soon as possible, otherwise the entire fleet will be buried here!"

Princess Yongqing looked back at him and said, "Run out at full speed!"

The dark clouds on the horizon slowly dissipated, and seabirds chirped as they flew across the blue sky.

Beautiful islands stand quietly on the sea.

In a hidden bay in the southwest of the archipelago, pirate ships were quietly parked on the sea.

There are many small boats docked at the largest pier in Borneo, and the streets of the island are full of pirates.

In a tavern, a group of pirate leaders sat together, waiting for someone.

Hongguang stood behind the captain, looking at the ferocious pirate leaders.

"As soon as the news of the Sea King's treasure was released, the Ming fleet set out to sea! It seems they are also coming for the treasure!"

"Maybe it's revenge because the snake girl attacked the Ming navy before."

"No, this isn't the first time this has happened. They chose to go out to sea at this time, they must be going for the treasure!"

"It must be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who wants the Fountain of Youth!"

"I've never heard of any legend about the Fountain of Youth on the sea. Is this true or false?"

"Of course it's true! The King of the Sea is able to dominate the sea because of the Fountain of Youth!"

"Then why did he die?"

Everyone was silent. They didn't know whether the King of the Sea was dead or disappeared.

All we know is that more than ten years ago, the king of the sea who dominated the ocean disappeared overnight.

Hongguang felt inexplicably excited when listening to these legends. He really wanted to know the news about the King of the Sea.

He wants to find the treasure of the King of the Sea and become the new King of the Sea!

He wants to be the master of this sea!
The captain seemed to sense his thoughts and glanced at him sinisterly.

"Have you all got the chart?"

"Who else in the entire ocean hasn't got it? I heard it was leaked from the snake girl. Maybe she doesn't dare to go."

"Haha, I don't believe she doesn't dare to go."

At this time, a pirate with an iron hook on his wrist snorted and said, "We'll know when she comes!"

Soon, Uesugi Rumi appeared here wearing a kimono, and her wooden clogs made a clacking sound on the floor.

After Uesugi Rumi came in, everyone's eyes were filled with greed.

Want to take her for himself!

At this moment, a pirate suddenly ran in and shouted in fear: "Great! The Ming fleet has appeared!"

All the pirates stood up in fear! Then they turned around and looked at Uesugi Rumi!

"How many ships are there?!"

The old captain in the cocked hat suddenly asked.

The pirate swallowed and said, "There are two treasure ships and five speedboats. The mast of one of the ships is broken."

The snake girl then spoke up, "There was a storm on the route from Lu Song to here last night, and I lost two ships. The Ming Dynasty's invincible fleet seems to have suffered even more serious losses."

The pirates in the field were stunned for a moment and then they all burst into laughter!
The haze of many days seemed to have all dispelled at this moment!

The old captain spoke cautiously: "Send a speedboat to patrol the sea!"

Many pirates calmed down and sent people out to sea to patrol in case the Ming fleet deliberately confuses them.

At this time, on the Ming treasure ship, Princess Yongqing looked at the deck ravaged by the storm, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes.

"Let's go ashore and rest!" Princess Yongqing said in a hoarse voice.

"As ordered!"

"Retract the sails! Send out flag signals! Pull ashore for repairs!"

At this time on Borneo Island, many pirates had dispersed and the streets returned to their peaceful state.

Soon the Ming soldiers went ashore to rest, and in the evening many recruitment notices were posted on the island.

Many people gathered there to watch and talk about it.

The Ming Fleet is recruiting sailors!

"Did yesterday's storm really defeat the Ming fleet?"

"The merchant ship from Lu Song said that they saw many sunken ships at sea!"

"It seems to be true!"

"I thought the Ming fleet could crush all those pirates!"

"The Ming fleet was so powerful a dozen years ago, with thousands of ships and hundreds of thousands of soldiers! Now there are only a few broken ships left."

"It will probably be extremely difficult for Ming to fight for the treasure of the King of the Sea this time."

Hongguang was also in the crowd. He looked at the recruitment notice of the Ming fleet, memorized it silently, then turned and left.

In the most luxurious palace on Borneo Island, Princess Yongqing was soaking in a warm hot spring. Her eyes were filled with fatigue, and her fingers on the bluestone were tapping.
　This is not easy to write. I am used to writing urban stories, so I am not used to this kind of short story. Haha, I will try my best to write it. If you think it is not good, you can skip these chapters.
