Listening to the screams coming from the snake-tooth warship ahead, Zhou Lei didn't pay much attention, but fell into thinking.
Through previous inquiries, he knew that the phaseless snake demon on Qingmu Island who was responsible for monitoring the exit was rotated every three months, and the snake-toothed warship in front of him had been staying here for nearly a month. In other words, he still has two months to slowly plan.
Of course, perhaps in the next two short months, he must find a way to get rid of the phaseless snake demon station thousands of miles away.
Because once two months pass and the formless snake demon on the snake-tooth warship has not returned, Qingmu Island will definitely notice that something is wrong. Although they may not necessarily suspect that the route was leaked, Zhou Lei did There is no room for error.
Within two months, all the formless snake demons on Qingmu Island must be killed to completely eliminate future troubles.
This was the death order he gave himself in his heart.
Of course, it may be difficult to kill them all. After all, it is a medium-sized tribe with close to 10,000 people. With their manpower, there will always be some fish that slip through the net. But this is not important. All you need to do is kill all the people on Qingmu Island. Once all the high-level officials of the Formless Snake Demon are dealt with, everything will be safe.
In the previous inquiry, Zhou Lei knew an answer. These ordinary formless snake demons had no idea what was behind the raging Void Wind Zone. They were just performing tasks that would be issued in a station all year round. The content of the tasks It is to monitor whether there are any strange ships in this area. As for other things, they have no idea at all.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that everything about this hidden route is also a secret matter in the Qingmu Island station, and only the station's senior officials know it.
While thinking, a group of royal beasts returned. As for the snake-toothed warship in front of them, they would not waste it. They just didn't have enough ships in their hands.
This snake-toothed warship is not big, barely stronger than a sloop, but it can still carry up to thirty people when fully loaded. If you add in the former Black Shark three-masted sailboat in Zhou Lei's hands, and the rhinoceros horns that have been given to it, The tribe's two four-masted sailboats and a snake-tooth warship can summon nearly 500 rhinoceros-horn tribe warriors. It's free of charge.
Twenty tauren artillerymen were separated from the Black Shark and went to control the snake-tooth warship, and then the two ships, one large and one small, began to move towards the distance.
However, after careful consideration, Zhou Lei finally asked Ren Yang to take the Black Shark back to the secret realm of the oasis island, and once again replaced it with the three-masted sailboat in his hand.
It's not that the Tomahawk is inferior to the three-masted sailing ship. On the contrary, the Tomahawk is too powerful. The terrifying hull of more than 120 meters is too conspicuous. And now that they have just entered this turbulent sea, they are not suitable to cause trouble. Too much attention, therefore, it would be much better to replace it with the previous barque.
Along the way, the direction the two ships were aiming at was naturally the northeast. Since Zhou Lei had made up his mind to deal with the group of formless snake demons, he naturally wanted to go to the other party's lair to observe the specific situation.
Of course, they didn't go all the way straight towards Qingmu Island, that would be too suspicious, and there was also a snake-tooth warship among the two ships, which could easily alert those formless snake demons.
The direction they were heading was more eastward.
However, the two ships soon encountered an accident, and this accident also verified what Zhou Lei had said before.
The Riot Sea is a sea area without laws. Slave-catching teams, pirates, pirates, etc. can be seen everywhere here.
What they encountered at this moment was one of the "pirates".
Seeing the three schooners rushing over at high speed from the distance, as well as the high-flying skull flag, Zhou Lei and the other five immediately determined the identity of each other.
"Brother, it's pirates. Should we prepare to attack them, or should we turn around and leave?"
Hearing Ren Yang's question, Zhou Lei did not answer. A flash of light flashed in his hand, and he took out the simple sea chart he had previously obtained from the formless snake demon.
After comparing the charts for a while, he pointed directly at a small black spot on the chart, which was a small island marked by the Formless Snake Demon Clan, and said:
"They are the Storm Pirates of the Jackal Clan. Their lair is only two hundred nautical miles away from Qingmu Island. It may be a good initial foothold for the Rhinoceros Tribe!"
After saying that, he turned around and scanned the people around him, wanting to hear their specific opinions.
Ren Yang pondered for a moment, then said:
"How strong is this Storm Pirate Group? Can the Rhinohorn Tribe eat them? Or should we go over and clean them up first?"
After hearing this, Zhou Lei shook his head several times.
"We don't know the specific strength of the other party, but isn't this someone coming to our door? Just ask. As for whether we can eat the other party's lair, this is not within our scope of consideration, let alone help in advance. Cleaned up.”
"What I want to cultivate is a super tribe, a civilized force that can stand firm in the boundless sea on its own, not a group of flowers in a greenhouse. If we have to arrange everything in advance, then there will be no It doesn’t make any sense anymore.”
Hearing Zhou Lei's serious words, several people nodded thoughtfully.
After a while, oooooooo!
A burst of excitement and ferocious wolf howls spread into the two ships.
In response, Zhou Lei and others turned their gazes and looked at the three pirate ships that were less than a hundred meters away from them. Their eyes were dull and they did not show any panic. Instead, they seemed to be looking at a group of clowns.
The reason is that naturally a few people have sensed the auras on the three ships, and already have a very thorough understanding of the specific strength of the three pirate ships in front of them.
On the three two-masted pirate ships, there are more than a hundred Jackal pirates, among whom there are more than two hands of officially extraordinary level Jackals, and there is also a mid-level Jackal sitting on the ship, which must be the trump card of this pirate team. .
In response to this, Zhou Lei and others remained calm, and then Ren Yang and four others, together with a group of beasts, flew directly into the air and flew straight towards the three pirate ships.
Previously in the ice world, several people had each obtained nearly 200,000 extraordinary points. In addition to what they had accumulated originally, they were only ten short of the 500,000 extraordinary points needed to advance to a high level. More than ten thousand.
Therefore, a few people will naturally not be polite to the extraordinary points that are delivered to their door.
If you kill one mid-level figure and a dozen low-level ones, you can still gain tens of thousands of extraordinary points, okay?
With this in mind, a few people happily boarded the three pirate ships, and naturally there was another massacre without any suspense.
Not to mention that these three pirate ships are only a fraction of the combat strength of the Storm Pirates. Even if the complete Storm Pirates are here, the outcome of this battle will still not change in any way.
The sea area they are currently in is a knotty corner in the southwest of the Riot Sea, a notoriously barren land. In this sea area, the forces of all parties are not strong, and the Storm Pirates Group is in this sea area. Zhong Geng can only be considered a second-rate force, not even a first-rate force.
So, how can the other party be the opponent of Zhou Lei and the other five?
Soon, Zhao Hu, carrying a mid-level jackal, flew back to the three-masted sailboat.
He threw the mid-level jackal directly in front of Zhou Lei.
"Boss, I brought you the mid-level jackal you wanted!!"
Zhou Lei nodded slightly, then turned his eyes and glanced at the mid-level jackal in front of him who was struggling to stand up.
In an instant, I felt as if a huge boulder of ten thousand kilograms was suddenly pressed against my back. The middle-level jackal who was about to stand upright snapped again, and was heavily pressed to the ground by the terrifying force of oppression. His helpless body lay softly on the ground. I can no longer move an inch.
In the previous battle on the Snake Tooth warship, Zhao Hu had suffered serious injuries, but now he was suppressed by Zhou Lei's high-level momentum.
In an instant, the wound that was forcibly locked by it could no longer be controlled, and bright red blood suddenly surged out. In just a few blinks, it had almost turned into a bloody man.
Zhou Lei turned a deaf ear to this, and the aura on his body had not restrained at all, and was still all pressing on the mid-level jackal.
Facing a creature of this strength, you must first give it a big showdown, so as not to let it feel the threat of death first, and then basically don't expect to get any news from it.
But before he could ask, the mid-level jackal was the first to roar and speak.
It does not use the language of their jackal clan, but the common language of the great maritime world.
"High-level extraordinary beings, what kind of creature are you? There are no more than twenty high-level extraordinary beings in this sea area, and you are definitely not one of them."
Hearing this, a sneer flashed across Zhou Lei's lips, and he also replied in the lingua franca of the great maritime world.
"You don't need to know this. You just need to answer my questions quietly. Otherwise, you will find that "death" is actually a very difficult thing."
"What is the background of your Storm Pirates group? What is their purpose of arranging your lair here?"
As for why this is the case, the reason is very simple. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be a deep-seated reason for the fact that the Storm Pirates' home base is so close to Qingmu Island, but there has never been an incident.
Any normal force must have complete control over the area surrounding its base camp.
How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?
However, the Green Eyes Department turned a deaf ear to the Storm Pirates, and there must be something fishy about it.
Therefore, Zhou Lei asked this question.
………
After a moment, Zhou Lei's eyes flashed with surprise. Originally, he thought that the other party would probably be very tough. After all, he was a mid-level transcendent, and it was normal for him to have his own arrogance.
However, the performance of this mid-level jackal was completely unexpected. It acted very cooperatively and basically answered whatever Zhou Lei asked.
After struggling for a moment, Zhou Lei quickly came around. Although he didn't know the reason, what he needed now was to understand as much as possible the specific situation of the Riot Sea and the southwest waters of the Riot Sea under his feet. power.
By the way, let's look for the relationship between these forces and see if we can find the forces that are hostile to the Formless Snake Demon Clan.
Although it is said that this branch of the Qingmu tribe will be eliminated within two months, after all, it is a medium-sized tribe with a number of nearly 10,000. It is not the kind of small force that can be destroyed easily. If you can't borrow power, you want to Achieving this goal may be difficult.
Judging from the power of the Qingmu Tribe's ancestral land in the southeastern continent, there are more than ten high-level extraordinary beings in their ancestral land, and the current Riotous Sea is the escape route they have arranged for themselves, and it does not matter how important it is. Say more.
Therefore, based on Zhou Lei's own guess, this branch of the Qingmu tribe definitely has a high-level and extraordinary level of formless snake demon sitting in charge. In order to ensure that its retreat is foolproof, this is inevitable.
I just don’t know the specific number, which is why Zhou Lei feels troubled.
If there is only one statue, it is easy to say that he can hold it back by himself, but if there are two or even three statues, once they attack rashly, the team will definitely cause great casualties.
But now this mid-level jackal brought him a big surprise.
What he guessed was correct. Not only did the Storm Pirates Group have a backing, but it was also quite large. It was the "Black Gang" among the four first-rate forces in the southwest waters of the Storm Sea.
The Black Jie tribe, together with Qingmu Island, Bloody Mang City, and the Holy Cross Slave Catcher Army, are known as the four giants in the southwest sea of the Storm Sea.
Of course, we are talking about the four giants, but in fact, there are more various small and medium-sized forces in the southwest sea area. The four giants are the strongest, but the sea area occupied by their subordinates only accounts for less than 40% of the southwest sea area. As for the other 60% of the sea area, it is the scope of activities of small and medium-sized forces from all parties.
After hearing the news, Zhou Lei began to make further inquiries about the two forces, Black Jiebu and Qingmu Island.
Soon, the jackal also gave a more detailed answer. As a mid-level transcendent, his vision and the secrets he knew were naturally not comparable to those of the ordinary formless snake demons before. Zhou was soon convinced. Lei's eyes lit up, and he felt suddenly enlightened about the specific forces in the southwest sea area.
The Black Jie Tribe, as the backend of the Storm Pirates, is a medium-sized gnoll tribe. The number of gnolls in the tribe is close to 15,000. There are more than 20 mid-level gnolls exposed and three high-level gnolls. .
As for Qingmu Island, it is said that it was a force that suddenly emerged in the southwest sea a hundred years ago and developed rapidly. Now the number of formless snake demons in the tribe exceeds 9,000, and more than ten formless snake demons in the middle realm are revealed. There are also two high-level formless snake demons, and they are powerful.
This news is undoubtedly bad news for Zhou Lei. After all, the stronger the phaseless snake demon of Qingmu Island is, the harder it will be for him to destroy it within two months.
After hearing this, Zhou Lei looked a little gloomy, his eyes flickered, and he was obviously not in a good mood.
However, the next second the mid-level jackal gave another piece of news, which caused the plot to suddenly reverse.
"Black Jiebu and Qingmu Island are mortal enemies."
