Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 359 Joining the Du family fleet, a sudden turn of events
"boom!"

The waves surged and sprayed everywhere.

Amidst the rolling waves, half of the alligator's corpse floated on the water, its blood spreading in ripples, attracting countless fish and shrimp to tear at it, vying to devour it.

The flesh and blood of monsters are highly nutritious for other species and spirits; consuming them can strengthen the body, awaken the bloodline, and transform one into a spirit or monster.

Driven by their innate bloodline, they fight and snatch with all their might. As long as they manage to grab a piece, they can take off on the spot and undergo immediate changes.

But soon, these fish and shrimp were crushed to pieces by the following ships.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, was on full display at this moment.

"I underestimated the power of the Yin Water Dragon, especially in the great rivers where the water flow is abundant, the amplification is even greater, however..."

Liu Sheng was multitasking. While navigating the boat, he also had other thoughts on his mind. He glanced at the naval warships behind him that had failed to encircle him and were now spreading out again. He knew it was time to call it a day.

Even though he had unexpectedly developed the skill of piloting a boat after combining all his forms, and the performance of the Yin Water Dragon in the rivers far exceeded his expectations, a cargo ship could at most serve a harassing purpose.

It has a slight impact on the overall situation, but it cannot play a key role, let alone be a decisive force.

Moreover, the old thief behind him has already joined forces with the Lianjiang Town Navy. If he were to fight alone again, wouldn't that be out of his mind?

In fact, if he could command an entire fleet, with his ability to "open the third eye," as long as the ships cooperated, he might be able to easily crush the opponent.
Never mind, standing out too much isn't good either.

It's best to hold back a bit, lest you scare others. Besides, the Du family isn't necessarily a united front; there might be some twists and turns. It's better to keep some cards up your sleeve.

"Let's go and rendezvous with the Du family's fleet."

With a thought from Liu Sheng, the controlled crew immediately turned the rudder, made a large circle, shook off the pursuing warships, and headed towards the Du family fleet.

Soon, the cargo ship entered the area controlled by the Du family's fleet and gradually slowed down.

Du Bingyan stepped forward and identified herself.

The last time she returned to her ancestral home was several years ago. Now her voice and appearance have changed, and some of the younger members of the clan may not recognize her.

To her surprise, she was recognized as soon as she appeared.

"Bingyan?"

"Sixteenth Uncle?"

"It really is you? Hahaha, good, very good!"

The man speaking was not yet forty, with a rugged face, and his upper body was bare, revealing a strong, muscular physique.

Years of exposure to wind and sun have given him dark, oily skin that looks like it's been coated with oil.

Du Xinghai, a direct descendant of the Bohai Du family, had a good relationship with Du Xingwu (Du Bingyan's father).

Upon seeing Du Bingyan, he beamed with joy and praised her highly:

"Were you piloting the boat earlier? As expected of the eldest daughter of the Du family of Bohai, your skills are ten times better than mine."

"Quickly teach Uncle Sixteen how you learned it? How are you so good at it?"

Du Xinghai was obsessed with naval warfare and was a rare and valiant general in the Du family.

After witnessing Liu Sheng's incredible feat of single-handedly disrupting the formation of the navy's warships and escaping encirclement and pursuit several times, he was astonished and immediately launched into a barrage of questions after making contact.

Du Bingyan's lips twitched, thinking to herself, "I don't know either," and she said with a mix of pride and explanation:
"It's Liu Sheng..."

"Oh, is that the country bumpkin who received the divine favor along with you?"

Du Xinghai raised an eyebrow, clearly having heard of the name "Liu Sheng" as well.

Now that the news of the "fate to the immortals" has spread, all sorts of rumors and misinformation have been spread and are no longer authentic.

Even though the Du family of Bohai was far away in Youzhou, they still received the news.

"Liu Sheng, a country bumpkin, greets Uncle Sixteen."

At this moment, Liu Sheng walked onto the deck and greeted Du Xinghai with a half-smile.

I silently decided to downgrade the gift I had originally planned to give him.

Although the original owner's grandfather passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, to a powerful clan like the Du family of Bohai, he was no different from a country bumpkin.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the Du family's beauty had been completely conquered by the young master. Oh well, for his wife's sake, he wouldn't bother arguing with such a fool.

In Liu Sheng's eyes, Du Xinghai was rather honest and straightforward in both appearance and temperament, and he liked dealing with this kind of person.

"Uh……"

Sure enough, realizing that the person he was talking about behind his back had overheard him, Du Xinghai's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He scratched his beard, wanting to say something, but the words caught in his throat. In the end, he nodded vaguely.

"well."

Du Bingyan rolled her eyes at Liu Sheng and quickly changed the subject:

"Sixteenth Uncle, how did you manage to break into Lianjiang Town?"

"It's all because of those bastards who did nothing right. They actually blocked the Dalong River and arrested all the soldiers we evacuated from various places..."

Speaking of this, Du Xingwu was filled with righteous indignation, his leopard-like eyes glared, and he burst into a tirade of curses:

"These bastards have no shame whatsoever. Since they started this, they can't blame us for doing the same thing!"

Is Lianjiang Town, a mere town, capable of stopping the Du family of Bohai?
This time, only a small detachment came, yet they were completely outmaneuvered!

"What the hell? Just because the Du family doesn't make a move, they think we're easy to bully?"

Thinking of what she had seen and heard on the way here, Du Bingyan fell silent.

Because of her, the family suffered immense pressure, and many family members were implicated, either dying or being injured.

Upon hearing Du Xinghai's words, it was discovered that many people were still being detained, their fates unknown.

"If you ask me, the head of the family is just too timid, always wanting to make money through peaceful means!"

Du Xinghai, caught up in the moment, couldn't help but complain:
"Given my temperament, I should have dealt with every single one of those powerful clans, sects, and factions in Yanzhou long ago!"

They detained our people, so we should detain theirs too!
If they dare to kill even one member of the Du family, we'll kill ten of them!

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; that will make them hesitant and afraid to act.

The words had barely left his mouth when he slapped his forehead, covered his mouth in annoyance, and whispered to Du Bingyan:

"I'm only telling you this, but don't tell my brother, the head of the family..."

After saying that, he turned around and gave orders. The Du family fleet sounded the drums and changed formation, abandoning several naval warships that were almost sunk, and took Liu Sheng and the other two away from the battlefield, sailing downstream.

"boom!"

But just then, a warship came crashing through the waves.

It crashed into and killed several water monsters and river demons that couldn't dodge it in time.

Giant five-colored handprints rose from the ship from time to time, smashing all the ships blocking the way, friend or foe, as if they were in an empty land, displaying extreme ferocity.

They carved out a straight path through the complex battlefield and charged straight ahead.

Suddenly, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

On the deck at the bow of the ship, a gaunt old man in blue robes stood against the wind, looking at Liu Sheng and the others with an indifferent and ruthless expression, as if he were looking at dead people.

The patriarch of the Su family!

"Hiss... that old man's eyes are really creepy..."

A chill ran down Du Xinghai's spine. He clicked his tongue and grinned at Liu Sheng and the other man:
"How did you manage to mess with such an old geezer? What's the point of fighting now?!"

Without waiting for their reply, he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Speed ​​up, speed up! If you don't want to die, use every ounce of your strength! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Roar!"

Just then, a roar that sounded like a bull but wasn't a bull rang out from the distant water, piercing through the battlefield and exploding in their ears.

That is……
