We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 14 The hunt begins!
"What the hell is this thing?"

Walter cursed inwardly, his face extremely pale, his body trembling slightly with fear.

He wasn't even sure if the being before him was alive.

Walter knew that besides inexhaustible treasures, the ocean also contained countless unspeakable horrors.

Sailors who encountered those things either died forever at the bottom of the sea or became insane madmen, muttering incomprehensible words all day long.

In Walter's view, this eerie black shadow undoubtedly belonged to the category of "that kind of being".

Meanwhile, the shadowy figure did not stop its actions.

His body moved as swiftly as a fish, as if he were not hindered by the seawater at all.

The short sword in his left hand deftly sliced ​​across the throat of a pirate.

laugh!
Crimson blood spread in the seawater.

Like the two previous victims, he didn't even notice the shadowy figure before death struck.

"So fast!"

"How come it's so fast?"

Seeing this, Walter trembled even more violently.

When a normal person moves in seawater, their movements become noticeably slower and more obstructed.

Even someone like Walter, who has sea-blooded blood, would inevitably be affected.

However, the shadowy figure seemed to defy this law of physics, moving at an unbelievable speed.

At that moment, Walter suddenly realized that the shadowy figure had turned its head, and that invisible yet chilling gaze seemed to fall on him!
"not good!"

Walter was horrified, and all his fighting spirit vanished.

He made a quick decision, using all his strength, both his hands and feet, to swim upstream rapidly.

The sea creature bloodline certainly played a significant role at this time; Walter's swimming escape speed was far faster than that of the other pirates.

Watching his hasty retreating figure, Xia En's expression was somewhat strange, and he muttered to himself.

"Am I that scary?"

"Or is this pirate just too cowardly? He doesn't even dare to exchange a few blows with me?"

Strange as it was, Shane didn't waste too much time on this man, but turned around to deal with the remaining pirates.

Xia En's primary objective at this moment was not to kill anyone, but to sink the Blood Wolf!
Once the entire ship sinks into the sea, these pirates will undoubtedly become fish on a chopping board...

Let them slaughter us!

After quickly clearing away the obstacles, Shane raised the heavy iron hook and hammered the Blood Wolf's undefended hull again and again.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
On the deck, feeling the vibrations coming from below the hull, Hansen's temple veins throbbed.

"Damn it, what is Walter doing?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a head emerge from the seawater; it was his first mate, Walter.

"Captain Hansen!"

Walter, his face ashen, cried out in shock, "Monster! There's a monster in the sea!"

"That guy killed all our brothers, and he scuttled the ship!"

"monster?"

Hansen frowned, instinctively harboring some doubts.

He certainly knew that there were many terrifying sea monsters in the ocean, but their dwelling place was often the deep sea, where even light could not reach.

Why did they happen to appear so coincidentally near the coast, and even under their ship?

Hansen was more inclined to believe that the Secret Pathfinders were behind this than that it was a monster.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, and a pirate covered in sweat came onto the deck, bringing another piece of bad news.

"Captain! The flooding inside the cabin is getting worse and worse; we can't stop it anymore!"

In fact, even without his reminder, the pirates could sense that the deck was getting lower and lower above the sea.

This means...

The Blood Wolf is irrevocably sinking into the sea!

There are no islands within dozens of nautical miles of this location. If the ship sinks, even the best swimmer might not be able to return to land. Seeing this, Hansen's face contorted with rage, and he gritted his teeth.

He never imagined that such an ordinary "hunt" would cause him to lose his most important ship, the Blood Wolf.

Hansen knew he had no way out.

At this moment, his only chance of survival was to steal the Black Swan!

Without hesitation, Hansen gave the order: "You lot, drop the first mate and come with me to stop the Black Swan!"

"The rest of you, jump into the sea! Even if you have to swim, catch up with it!"

Walter opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything to dissuade him.

The captain's orders are not to be questioned.

This was especially true on pirate ships.

……

……

Wow! Wow!
In the seawater, Shane looked up and saw the pirates jumping into the sea like dumplings, and immediately burst into laughter.

Are they all so eager to die?

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he looked at the pirates who were completely unaware of the threat of death.

Let's hunt down those who have fallen into the sea!
Since you've chosen him as your prey, you should be prepared to be killed by him!

Holding the Black Stone Short Sword, Shane silently swam to the foot of a pirate and plunged the sword into his chest.

The pirate's body stiffened abruptly, and he cried out in terror.

"save……"

But his scream lasted only a moment before his body suddenly sank downwards and was pulled beneath the surface of the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a few bubbles rose to the surface, spreading out in a bloody haze.

In the blood-stained seawater, a strange black shadow could be vaguely seen.

As the water rippled, the dark mass seemed to constantly shift and twist, as if it were a living thing, growing and wriggling.

Upon seeing this, the nearby pirates' expressions changed.

There really are terrifying monsters in the sea!

In fact, although the Blood Wolf Pirates were not many in number, they were all brave and skilled warriors who could demonstrate considerable fighting prowess both on deck and on land.

However, in this sea where there is no foothold, they cannot use their skills even if they have them.

In contrast, Shane was not only able to move freely, but also had the attribute bonuses from the Black Swan, so the battle naturally turned into a one-sided hunt.

In less than half a minute, several more pirates perished in the sea.

The remaining pirates were filled with fear, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.

Can't win!

Absolutely no way to win!
Faced with such a monster lurking in the sea, they had no idea how to win.

What's even more despairing is that they have nowhere to escape on this vast ocean!
However, at this moment, Shane’s gaze temporarily shifted from the pirates to a small boat moving rapidly beside him.

The small boat was very fast and moved stealthily.

When Shane spotted it, it had already traveled over a hundred meters.

"So it was a feint, using these pirates to distract me and make it easier for me to act."

Xia En immediately understood.

The captain of the Blood Wolf was quite ruthless; the pirates who were ordered to jump overboard were actually just bait to cover up the small boat.

Only by seizing the Black Swan could the pirates have a chance of survival.

For this, any sacrifice is worthwhile.

But clearly, Shane wouldn't just stand by and watch Blood Wolf Hansen's scheme succeed.

He raised his head and looked at the shadow cast by the small boat in the sea, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Hmph, want to run away?"
