Chapter 223, Pirates
Qingshi and Chen Tianye quickly looked in the direction Duan Wutian pointed. Sure enough, the blue sky and clear water in the far south were dotted with a touch of emerald green. There was no doubt that it was an island with lush vegetation.
As the spacecraft gets closer to the island, it can be found that it is a chain of islands, with a total of more than a dozen islands, large and small. They are located on the same submarine ridge, extending from west to east into the distance. Looking far into the distance, you can see more islands farther to the southeast.
Looking from a high altitude, the color of the sea around the island becomes richer. Compared with the blue deep sea, the light green reefs, white lagoons, and even the turquoise islands have distinct layers, which look beautiful and dreamy under the sun.
Qingshi controlled the spacecraft to move south quickly, flying over small islands, and slowly penetrated into a large sea area densely populated with islands.
"Ship!" Chen Tianye suddenly shouted excitedly, "There is a ship on the sea!"
Qingshi and Duan Wutian had also seen that on the sea in the east direction, there were three large ships, one in front and two behind, moving at great speed. Although the weather was good that day, the wind and waves were not small. The three boats were traveling through the wind and waves, being thrown up and down from time to time, which was very dangerous. But they don't seem to care about the wind and waves. Instead of sailing towards the relatively calm waters between the islands, they are still heading towards the depths of the vast sea.
Qingshi lowered the height of the spacecraft and flew in the direction of the three sea ships. Soon, they saw the problem.
It turned out that these three large ships were not traveling together. The one in the front looked like a merchant ship and was running away, while the two ships in the back were obviously pirate ships and were chasing the merchant ship in front with all their strength.
Two black pirate ships hung flags embroidered with black gold dragons and were equipped with naval guns. They tried to get closer to the merchant ship in front while firing cannonballs from time to time. The merchant ship in front seemed to have no cannons. It moved toward the deep sea while adjusting its course from time to time, trying to use the wind, waves and changes in route to get rid of the pursuers.
Not long after, an iron bullet fired by a pirate ship broke a mast on the merchant ship. The original three-masted merchant ship became two-masted, and its speed suddenly slowed down. Another pirate ship moved forward and fired An iron fork with a long rope firmly nailed the merchant ship. The rope dragged it, making it slow down even more.
The people on the merchant ship tried to cut off the rope, but more iron forks flew with the rope, and soon the merchant ship was completely blocked. Two pirate ships approached the merchant ship, and then a large number of pirates roared over, jumping or climbing on ropes and flying, shouting and killing the merchant ship.
The people on the merchant ship did not sit still and wait to be killed. Most of them held weapons and fought with the pirates. However, there were many pirates, and there were many masters among them. Soon, most of the people on the merchant ship were killed or injured, leaving only a dozen people standing in a circle, protecting a young woman and fighting to the death.
These dozen or so people were quite capable in combat, especially one of the old men, who was extremely skilled in swordsmanship. Hundreds of very brave pirates surrounded them and attacked them. For a while, they were unable to defeat them. On the contrary, from time to time, one or two careless pirates were killed by those pirates. The old man fell to the ground with cuts.
However, after all, the pirates were outnumbered, and these people soon became unable to hold on. At this moment, another mighty and majestic bearded pirate, with his upper body bare and his body covered with sea dragon tattoos, leaped from the pirate ship onto the merchant ship. All the pirates shouted excitedly: "The boss is here! Why don't you surrender quickly..."
The master was really powerful. He flew forward and pounced on the old man who was wielding a sword. He also used a big sword. The old man did not dare to neglect, and faced him with his sword. The two exchanged seven or eight moves in an instant. Amidst the roar of the pirates, the master became more and more brave as he fought, and finally knocked off the old man's sword on the thirtieth move. , the master's sword energy remained powerful, and struck the old man's chest, causing his internal organs to be shocked, blood spurting out, and he lost his fighting power on the spot.
The master defeated the old man, put away his sword and stopped attacking. He shouted to the woman surrounded by the crowd: "Princess Huaiyu, my most beautiful woman in the world! Hand over the Five Elements Chaos Fruit, and then follow me obediently. I will go back to Heishan Island and be my wife, hahaha..."
"Hu Hailong, you big bastard!" a woman's voice cursed, "I won't marry you even if I die! Just give up on this!" The one who spoke was naturally the man who was surrounded by everyone. Princess Jade.
"Hahaha..." Hu Hailong laughed wildly, "It's not up to you. You didn't agree to my proposal at first, but now you are in my hands. I will marry you tonight hahaha ...Brothers, come on!”
"Wait!"
The pirates were about to attack the princess and the others when they suddenly heard someone shouting to stop him. Hu Hailong was startled and looked up to follow the sound. He didn't know when he saw a strange young man standing on the crossbar of the main mast. , I don’t know where he came from.
This person is naturally Qingshi.
Qingshi spoke up to stop the pirates, then smiled and said, "Master Hu, you want to rob both wealth and sex. Isn't that very particular?"
Qingshi's accent is different from that of the pirate, but it's similar and they can both understand each other.
"Who are you?" Hu Hailong shouted loudly, "How dare you interfere in my business? Are you tired of living?"
"My name is Qingshi," Qingshi shouted, not wanting to suffer any loss, "I am the leader of the Xuanhu Gang. We all make a living at sea. You are robbing both wealth and sex. This is against the rules! Besides, , as the saying goes, you get half when you meet, I also get half of today’s harvest!”
"Xuanhu Gang?" Hu Hailong tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked at his brothers, and saw all the pirates shaking their heads. Hu Hailong immediately said, "I don't care which gang you belong to, you'd better stay out of my business. Get away quickly. I have never heard of the rule you mentioned about taking wealth but not sex, and sharing half of it when we meet!"
"Didn't I already tell you?" Qingshi scolded back, "Now that you've heard about it, you have to do what I said!"
"Boy, you are looking for death!" Hu Hailong gritted his teeth and cursed, "I have always robbed wealth and sex, and robbed whatever I wanted! No one has ever dared to share the treasure I robbed! Get out of here, don't you dare to nag me again?" Split you into eight pieces!"
"Then, according to what you say," Qingshi said, "our friends who live in the sea no longer follow the rules?"
"What are the dick rules?" Hu Hailong shouted, "My knife is the rule!"
"You have a knife, and I have a sword!" Qingshi said, "Is my sword faster than yours, so I will make the rules?" After saying that, he waved his hand and took out the Moon Soul Sword to make a sword flower.
"Damn you..." Hu Hailong became impatient and shouted, "Brothers! Hack him to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of pirates shouted and rushed towards Qingshi. There were more pirates shouting and cursing, shooting arrows and throwing axes and hidden weapons at Qingshi.
Qingshi's body swayed off the mast, and he used the Three Wind Movements to get into the group of pirates. The long sword in his hand flashed, and he heard bursts of screams and curses, and the pirates were struck by the sword one after another.
Qingshi's attacks were measured, and most of the pirates were hit by swords in their limbs or buttocks. Apart from screaming in pain, no one died.
The pirates were furious and cursed loudly, wanting to knock Qingshi down. However, Qingshi's movement was so fast that these barbarians could not match it. Qingshi flew high and low, running non-stop while waiting for an opportunity to appear among the pirates. Wherever the sword went, people screamed and cursed loudly from time to time, and hundreds of pirates on the entire ship became a mess.
Suddenly I heard Hu Hailong shout loudly: "Stop!"
Hu Hailong was obviously very authoritative. When all the pirates heard the sound, they stopped immediately and stopped shouting and swearing.
Qingshi was on the bow platform, surrounded by more than a dozen pirates. One of them, a bald man, was holding a big ax to chop Qingshi. When he heard Hu Hailong's words, he couldn't help but stop, holding his ax high and staring at Qingshi. I don't know if I should cut it or not.
Qingshi also stopped, stared at the bald man who was close at hand and cursed: "Damn bald man, didn't you hear your boss telling you to stop? Hurry up and put down the ax for me."
The big man did stop his hand at first. Hearing Qingshi's provocation, he couldn't help but became furious. He roared and chopped down the big axe. But the ax was only halfway down when Qingshi circled behind the bald man and kicked him on the butt, knocking him down to a platform more than three feet high.
The pirates were furious, and there was a roar and the sound of weapons clashing, and the pirates around Qingshi were about to take action again.
"Stop!" Hu Hailong roared again, finally calming down all the curses and attacks.
Qingshi stood among the pirates, paying no attention to the pirates around him, and said to Hu Hailong, "You have seen it, right? It was the bald man who didn't listen to you first, so I kicked his ass!"
"You are a good boy!" Hu Hailong laughed loudly, "You have courage and ability! No wonder you dare to share my good stuff. Okay! I will give you a chance. That's what you said, as long as your sword can win I will give you half of my sword! But what will you say if you lose?"
"If you lose, you don't want the loot!" Qingshi said, "What else do you want?"
"I bet my red goods," Hu Hailong said. "You don't bet anything. Isn't this against the rules?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Qingshi said.
"Easy to handle!" Hu Hailong said, "If you win, I will give you half of the red goods. If I win, you will join my Hailong Gang, and I will make you the second boss!"
"This is unfair!" Qingshi said, "If I win, your Hailong Gang should be merged into my Xuanhu Gang, and I will let you be the second... No, you can only be the sixth master. "
"What?" Hu Hailong said angrily.
"I mean besides me," Qingshi said, "I have four brothers in the Xuanhu Gang, and you can only be ranked sixth. As for the red goods, naturally they must all be contributed to me, the big boss!"
"Bah!" Hu Hailong scolded, "You keep insisting on following the rules. I thought you were a thief and a decent person, but you turned out to be a little bastard with no respect for your colleagues and seniors! You are so messy and unruly, I think you are the one who has no rules at all!"
"Me too! Damn me!" Qingshi scolded, "I wanted to tell you the rules just now, but you didn't tell them! Now I don't follow the rules, and you come to tell me the rules again. I really don't know what to say!"
"Hey! You kid!" Hu Hailong said angrily, "I see that you are a colleague and you have some skills, so I am grateful for your talent, so I give you a chance to bet on the game. Since you want to bet but you don't want to bet, , I made a line and you didn’t obey. Instead, the giant-mouthed dragon Kun opened his mouth. What kind of truth is this? If you don’t want to join my gang, then take out the bet! Do you really want to have sex for nothing? You want to share my good stuff?"
"This is not called prostitution for free!" Qingshi laughed and said, "This is called black people eating black people!"
"Have fun eating black?" Hu Hailong angrily said with a smile, "Haha... you are so brave! You have the guts! But do you have the ability to take it? Humph, I gave you a chance to bet on the game, but you don't want it, but you don't want it. Don’t blame me for being evil!”
Hu Hailong said that he was going to order a siege, and it seemed that he was going to take action himself.
"Wait a minute!" Qingshi shouted, "Who said I won't gamble anymore? I'll gamble!"
Qingshi said as he waved his hand, and a piece of green light appeared on his left hand, but it was a dragon ball the size of an egg.
"Dragon Ball!" Hu Hailong was stunned and said, "What a treasure, but you want to bet half of my red goods on a Dragon Ball? What a nonsense!"
"Who said I only have one? I have many dragon beads." Qingshi took out a net bag full of dragon beads, shook it, and said, "First of all, tell me what your red goods are this time? How much is they worth?"
"Okay!" Hu Hailong was obviously very interested in the Dragon Balls. "My goal this time is the Five Elements Chaos Fruit. I guess the princess should have six of them. In my opinion, each one is worth twenty Dragon Balls. Let's do that. , you give me sixty Dragon Balls and bet me three Five Elements Chaos Fruits!"
"Okay!" Qingshi said, "What about the princess? How to calculate it?"
"What?" Hu Hailong shouted with his eyes widened, "You still want the princess?"
"Yes!" Qingshi said, "The most beautiful woman in the world! Who wouldn't want her?"
"Grandma!" Hu Hailong laughed angrily and scolded, "Not only are you brave, but you are also extremely perverted! But you are very discerning and are in tune with my taste. Hahaha... I want to take the princess back to be a mother-in-law and give birth to a baby, so I won’t gamble!”
"Hu Hailong, you are a dead fish, a rotten shrimp, a rotten turtle!" Princess Huaiyu's voice sounded, "I will not marry you even if I die!"
"Listen!" Qingshi laughed, "The princess doesn't like you! Let's bet together. How about a total of one hundred dragon balls?"
"You little bastard is not a good thing even if you are a pirate!" Princess Huaiyu also scolded Qingshi, "I will die in front of you now!"
Hearing a cry, Princess Huaiyu drew her sword and was about to kill herself. The guards around him quickly stopped and took away the knife. The pirates around him shouted in unison and laughed.
Princess Huaiyu was originally covered, and she was surrounded by guards. Qingshi could not see her true face. Now in a panic, the princess's veil fell off, and Qingshi could see her figure.
Qingshi looked at the princess, his mouth wide open, his eyes widened, and he was inexplicably surprised.
"You kid..." Hu Hailong said with a smile, "You must be stunned by the princess's beauty! I said that the princess is the most beautiful woman in the world, didn't I lie to you? Your kid is bold in stealing and even more bold in sex. Da, you really suit my taste! I really want to recognize you as my brother! However, I will not bet on this princess under any circumstances. Otherwise, you can choose one of her maids. Forget it. Brother, I gave it to you.”
The princess, several maids, and even the guards were extremely angry as they listened to Hu Hailong and Qingshi chatting, treating them like slave goods. However, hundreds of pirates surrounded them with fierce looks, but they could only dare to be angry but dare not speak.
"No, no!" Qingshi said anxiously, "As the saying goes, a beauty matches a hero. I think the princess and Mr. Hu are a better match! I'd better not get involved and just bet on the fruits!"
"Eh!" Hu Hailong was shocked, then laughed and praised loudly, "My little brother's vision is as sharp as the sun, and his mind is as broad as the sea. He is really a man of noble sentiments! What a good man! What a good brother, hahaha... ....”
Qingshi and Hu Hailong talked nonsense for a long time. They were originally trying to divert attention and delay time. Involving the princess as a bet was also the strategy. Unexpectedly, when they saw the princess's true appearance, they immediately couldn't help but show their "noble sentiments", which is actually true. After hearing Hu Hailong's taste, he really regarded him as a confidant and brother in his heart.
In fact, Qingshi was really shocked by the princess. In Qingshi's opinion, Princess Huaiyu's face was beautiful. If she didn't have the three-tiered chin, her eyebrows and other facial features would be pretty good.
As for the figure, according to Qingshi's standards, the princess must be divided into at least three parts before she can be called 'stature'. Qingshi is tall and strong, but according to his visual inspection, even if the two of them are tied together, they are not as thick as the waist of this 'most beautiful woman in the world'.
