Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 24 Encountering pirates and luring the enemy deeper

"Bai Yu encountered a highly hostile second-level demonic bird attack in the airspace near Yundu Island, which pursued him relentlessly. Bai Yu also discovered a large number of unfamiliar sea vessels, all of which were of a design he had never seen before, emitting a completely unfamiliar aura. They were definitely not local vessels."

"Third brother, there must be a big problem in the direction of Yundu Island. We can't go there anymore."

Bai Yu's master trusted his spirit beast companion very much and immediately asked the fleet to abandon this destination.

Bai Yu is a spiritual beast raised by the Lin family since childhood. It is very reliable and it is impossible for it to engage in a fight with foreign enemies without a purpose. But now it has returned injured; the Zhang family on Yundu Island is a Jindan force open to the outside world, and it is impossible for there to be wild second-level demon birds there; the strange sea ship that Bai Yu has never seen is even more bizarre, so there must be a big problem ahead.

"Retreat! Let's go to the Purple Jade Islands first to take shelter."

After a little thought, the Third Master gave up on going to Yundu Island and instead decided to go to the Ziyu Islands, a remote sea area controlled by independent cultivators. The terrain near the Ziyu Islands was complex and suitable for temporary docking, refuge and observation.

"唳~"

Just as the fleet was heading towards the Ziyu Islands and speculating on what had happened on Yundu Island, a second-level bald eagle appeared above the fleet and followed it closely. The two sides were neither too far nor too close, so there was nothing they could do about it.

"Bald Eagle! Oh no, it's the pirates from the Devil's Corner!"

The Third Master, who had traveled extensively in his youth, was knowledgeable and could determine the origin of a second-level sea eagle based solely on its race.

"Everyone speed up! Head for the Purple Jade Islands at full speed!"

Pirates are a group of scum without any principles. They do not engage in orderly production and other matters, but only support themselves through organized and purposeful plundering of others. They are a cancer of the human race.

The pirates from the Demonic Corner Region were a large demonic organization notorious throughout the Thousand Star Sea and even in several surrounding sea areas. The ones currently roaming around Yundu Island were probably just a small group of them.

"Why are there pirates here? Yundu Island is so close to Thousand Star City. Aren't they afraid of death?"

The Thousand Star City is the central fairy city of the Thousand Star Sea. There are several Nascent Soul powerhouses in the city, and the pirates from the Demon Horn Region are publicly wanted by the Thousand Star City, but they have abnormally appeared in the western region of the Thousand Star Sea.

"I'm not sure. Maybe something happened outside the northeastern defense line. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a third-level demon king appearing in the northern ice field, and there wouldn't be pirates here. I even suspect there's some kind of connection between the demon king and the pirates."

"Divert the tiger away from the mountain? Their target is Yundu Island?"

"It's very likely, but that's not what we should be thinking about. Now we should think about how to deal with the pursuers behind us."

The foundation-building monk turned around suddenly and saw several black spots appearing at the limit of his vision. They were the black ships that the pirates were chasing.

With the guidance of the bald eagle, an inescapable pirate fleet gradually gathered behind the Ichthyosaur Islands fleet.

"Heh~"

"You dare to chase us with only twelve speedboats? You really look down on us! Do you think the Inner Sea monks are pigs?"

"Then let me see if your bones are hard!"

The spirit ships of the Yulong Islands are all monster-hunting ships. Monster-hunting ships focus on comprehensive performance, and their maximum speed is average. However, the pirates' looting ships are all speedboats, and what they focus on is maneuverability.

Therefore, under the premise that they cannot get rid of the bald eagle in the sky, the distance between the two sides will only get closer as time goes by, and it is only a matter of time before they are caught up.

"Distribute the cargo on the ship to the storage bags of all the boatmen, and throw the remaining worthless cargo into the sea to the other side. Distribute combat supplies to each ship and be ready to fight at any time!" Although they were chased by twelve pirate speedboats, the foundation-building monks of the Lin family all had calm and determined expressions, without a trace of fear of fighting. On the contrary, Lin Qianfan even saw a belligerent mood on Jiu Ye's face.

There are many rules on the sea.

There is an underlying architecture-level rule: winner takes all!

Choose to fight?

Either take it all or nothing!
After picking up the various prey thrown away by the fleet, the pirate ships not only did not stop but became even more rampant. The more the enemy feared them, the more excited they became.

"Turn the psychic cannon around, give them some minor disruptions, and drag the decisive battle as far away as possible."

During the pursuit, the fleet had completed a new position. Ships like the Sea Hunter, which had a small displacement and no psychic cannon at the stern, rushed to the front, while the three powerful medium and large ships, the Stalker, the Wind Chaser, and the Fury, were at the end of the fleet.

Boom~boom~boom~
These three ships have psychic cannons at the stern. If you fire from the front, it will be difficult for the opponent to fight back. They can either choose to fight back under the fire or slow down and dodge.

"Very good, let's keep this pace and lead them further away. I was already upset that our hunting plans were disrupted by the Giant Tooth King that appeared out of nowhere, but I didn't expect to encounter new prey, and such a rare new prey at that."

The Third Master, with his hooked nose and gloomy face, sneered and stroked his wooden cane, thinking about how to destroy the invading enemy at the lowest cost. For a moment, it was difficult to tell who was the real pirate.

"These idiots must have mistaken us for locals from Yundu Island. Now we're in for some fun."

Not only the Foundation Establishment cultivators on each ship were not panicking, but even the Qi Refining cultivators on each ship were not panicking, because the overall strength of the invading enemy was most likely inferior to theirs, and this time the advantage was really on my side.

"Well, I'll make sure they never come back!"

The local monster-hunting ships on Yundu Island basically have one foundation-building cultivator on board, including ordinary pirate ships where only the captain is a foundation-building cultivator. After all, the size of the cake is limited, and the profit of a ship is also limited. The more people there are, the less per capita profit is. It is also difficult to trust other people with similar strength in the vast ocean.

However, the eight ships from the Yulong Islands are different. The journey is long and there are too many uncertainties along the way, so for safety reasons, each ship has an average of two second-level combat forces on board, in order to deal with the current situation. But the other party is completely unaware of this, and this is the confidence of the Lin family fleet.

An hour later, both sides had already fired multiple rounds at each other, but now both sides had stopped because the psychic cannons had entered an overloaded state and needed to rest, otherwise they would explode.

"Close, prepare for boarding!"

Although it no longer has a psychic cannon, the second-level spirit ship still has a second-level defensive formation. It is naturally impossible for a foundation-building cultivator to blast open this defensive formation personally.

The simplest way to deal with defensive formations in naval battles is to collide two ships, causing the defensive formations of both sides to be overloaded and collapse. Then, soldiers will fight against soldiers and generals will fight against generals, taking advantage of the time when the opponent's defensive formation is restarted to engage in boarding battles to determine the winner.

As long as the opponent's boatman can be killed, the opponent's spirit ship can be controlled. The victorious side controls two warships to support the foundation-building battlefield. At that time, the opponent will either flee in embarrassment or die with hatred.

In fact, the spirit ship is the most valuable thing on the sea. Any second-level spirit ship is worth a large number of second-level prey. If this thing is well maintained, it can be used for hundreds of years without any problem. Therefore, for a foundation-building cultivator who loses his ship, it is no different from dying once.

Pirate fleet.

The two medium-sized boats running in the front.

"Where did they come from? They're advancing and retreating so orderly, it doesn't look like an ordinary monster-hunting ship."
