Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 250: Pirate Pursuit
The heavy snow last night covered the whole island with a layer of white clothes.

With the sound of scrambling boots stepping into the snow.

A group of people walked out from the direction of the town.

These people were wearing dirty and dark cotton clothes, with rag-like scarves around their necks.

They all looked a little sloppy, but no one was relatively clean and tidy.

And judging by the way they look, they don't seem to care.

He staggered and wobbled when he walked.

Remarkably, almost all of them are armed, and most of them are human.

The leader, a slightly dark-skinned man, looked into the distance, a hideous scar slid from the corner of his eye all the way to the corner of his mouth.

Add a touch of deterrence to the already somewhat hideous face.

Slightly yellow eyes with a hint of fierceness, turning back and forth in the crooked eye sockets, observing the surrounding situation.

He seemed to be on guard all the time.

"Tui, it's really fucking cold." A strong man behind him rubbed his arm, and then he was stabbed by the coldness on his palm so that he retracted his hand.

Then he looked at the leader in front and asked, "Captain, what are you doing out in such a cold day? Isn't it so cold..."

Hearing this, the leader turned his head and squinted at the strong man who asked the question. The side face with the scar made the strong man shut his mouth.

"If I remember correctly, I should have told you last night, did you take my words as fart? Huh? Jiro?"

A small man next to the strong man jumped up and slapped the strong man on the back of the head, causing the strong man to stagger a few steps with his head down.

After the little man slapped him, he cursed: "You idiot, I told you not to drink alcohol last night. We're going to trouble those people, understand?"

The strong man nodded repeatedly.

"Understood, understood."

The leading captain didn't say anything more, turned his head and continued to lead the people behind him forward.

"Captain, what are we going to do today, follow up and investigate, or directly..." A man who obviously looked like his deputy came over and asked.

The captain didn't stop, but his voice came quietly.

"Thal, tell me what you know."

"Oh, ho ho, of course my beloved captain." An old man with a scruffy beard and a crutch came out of the team quickly.

Awkward and fast.

After coming out, he still did not forget to take out a polished wine jug from his arms and take a sip.

"Ah~ the weather is really cold."

As he spoke, he licked the wine on his lips, for fear of wasting a drop.

Putting the wine jug back into his arms, he said, "We all know that Balazs' big ship will go to this hellish place during this time. But when he shipped out the last time, there was a A lot of treasures, not just materials."

"Everyone knows that this ghostly place is dangerous and has nothing of value, except for those damned ruins."

"I've been wandering around this island for a long time. Those villagers have said that there is a boat that has been wandering around the island. They go to the island every day to dig out those ruins... there are quite a lot of valuable things.

And our friends in the caravan also said that his captain made a deal with the people on this ship, and this group of people doesn't seem to be very strong. "

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help taking another sip of wine, but this time he didn't continue talking.

Speaking of which, even the almond-sized brains of these pirates can understand what he means.

that's the truth.

And the eyes of the following pirates were already starting to light up.

In their eyes, Alka and the others have become lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with a golden treasure hidden in their belly.

"Baby, I like babies the most."

"I like all kinds of babies, hehehe."

"Then are they strong? If they dare to stay here for so long, they must be pretty strong, right?"

A somewhat rational pirate asked in a low voice, apparently taking some words off his ears.

Although they are pirates, they also know that there are many people they can't afford, otherwise they would have perished long ago.

The deputy who was following the head said: "I asked our old friends. When they saw the people on this ship, they didn't think they were dangerous."

The captain didn't speak the whole time, just looked ahead and walked silently.

But the deputy followed behind and asked quietly: "Is it worth it? Captain."

He felt that it was not a wise choice to fight people from another ship for something of unknown value.

"There's something wrong with those people, they must be hiding some kind of secret, and I'm interested in that secret.

They must know the dangers and treasures of these ruins, which are scattered all over the island. "

The captain showed a slightly ferocious smile as he spoke.

It's abnormal, very abnormal, to go around on a boat and rarely stop in a small town in the port.

If it's just the fleet of ships passing by, or just wanting to come to this island to buy some materials, of course they won't care about it.

Those who are familiar with the island and its surroundings will not come here inexplicably, and those who are not familiar with it should be more careful when they move on the island, and will not deliberately cause trouble.

But pirates are different.

Especially the pirates in the boundless sea, it is not so easy to rob.

So they have to use their brains to grab it.

People who can sail at sea in this sea area are not good at it.

Among the shadows among the bushes and trees nearby, there seemed to be some shadows flickering slightly.

But no one noticed.

No one will pay attention.

……

Arka and the others, who had already arrived at their destination, were sweeping away the snow on the inside.

The snow that accumulated last night was too thick.

With the removal of the snow, the deep pits that had been dug were exposed, but some places in the deep pits had already accumulated water and frozen.

Porolo had no choice but to pick up the shovel and the crushed ice and started to clear the ice.

"Every time I do this, it's irritating." Hu Anlu complained as he knocked on the broken ice manuscript.

Digging the soil in winter is troublesome. If it snows at night, the hole dug yesterday will be buried and covered with ice.

It will increase the workload inexplicably.

But fortunately, the pit was dug deep enough yesterday, basically revealing the general appearance of the ruins.

As long as these crushed ice and snow are removed, it will be much easier.

Several four-legged, spider-like structures have begun to work with their digging tools.

There are some mirrors floating in the sky, gathering the surrounding sunlight and shining it around the ruins.

Raise the surrounding temperature so that they can work better in this place.

San, who was sitting on Julia's shoulder, swung his fish tail, and suddenly noticed something, and was taken aback for a moment.

Then he said, "The pirates are still here."

Hearing this, several people who were busy at work stopped in place and looked up at each other.

"I really don't know good from bad." Hu Anlu scratched his hair and said helplessly.

Some time ago, they knew that a pirate group had come to the island, and they began to learn about them consciously or unconsciously as soon as they arrived on the island.

Inquire from those islanders.

For Jason, who had been in the small town for so long, the news they inquired naturally reached Jason's ears very easily.

Alka and the others also confirmed during the operation that this pirate team seemed to be coming for them.

Have bad thoughts about them.

Especially after these teams received Alka's performance of their strength a long time ago, they became more aggressive as if they had gained confidence.

They obviously have more brains than normal pirates.

I don't know if it's because of the harsh professional environment of the Boundless Sea.

But although they have brains, they obviously don't have many.

These pirates may not know until now, their words and deeds have long been clearly understood by Alka and the others.

Even some of what they know about Alka was specially mentioned by the islanders on the island.

They were just pirates after all.

And the people in Alka are the ones who have really made a contribution to the whole town and helped them.

The islanders who can communicate with these people are all hunters. They are more rational and have a stronger sense of belonging to the town.

Also hate these pirates even more.

"How many people did they come?" Alka asked after a brief thought.

"36 people."

"There are so many, it's almost out of the nest." Julia squinted and said beside her.

They have long known the specific number of pirates, which is almost all of them.

"That is to say, there are not many people left behind on their ships?"

"News came from Jason that there are six people staying behind on their pirate ship." San said truthfully.

Hearing this, Alka smiled slightly: "Then pass the news to Xia Daiti and the others, and let this group of overwhelmed people sink into the deep sea."

San nodded, and passed on Alka's message to Lucilia on the boat.

The puppet army can communicate with each other under the special functional structure of treasures and Arka.

It is not necessarily guaranteed how wide the range is, but at least there is no problem on this island.

Looking at the three Pororo people who had already prepared, Alka thought for a while about the number of people and the strength gap between the enemy and us.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let Lucilia and Xia Detti bring some members of the puppet army to meet up, and let Jason and Simon bring the rest of the puppet army to sink their ship."

This order was still passed on quickly.

"Although these people are stupid, they are not weak."

There are more than 40 pirates. Although the head of the group leader is not strong, he is still in the third stage.

The rest of the cadres are all around the peak of the second stage, but there are not many cadres, only three of them.

The rest are all people in the middle of the second stage, and not everyone is a toucher.

Only about 1/3 of them are touchers, and the strength of the rest of them is similar to those of the totem hunters on the island, but they may use different methods.

For these obviously hostile strangers, Alka and the others have already figured out the enemy.

Even several targeted programs have been made.

"However, this island is our home field after all. I will be the main bait and drag it until night, so as to prevent us from causing too much loss."

Alka spoke, and then his figure flickered, and everyone knew that this was Alka's dream substitute.

Soon they received a message from Xia Dai to mention them, and they were ready at a specific place.

And the enemy has also appeared not far from them.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Alka and the others digging something.

At this moment, Arka was holding something covered in clods of mud.

Seeing the arrival of the group of pirates, he threw things on the ground without hesitation.

"run!"

Xia Dati, Julia, and Ju Anlu ran away without hesitation.

Watching the four of them run away.

The subconscious reaction of this group of pirates was to chase, which was almost instinctive.

"Don't let them get away! They must have found something good!"

Some pirates rushed out impatiently.

They can't wait to snatch those treasures.

The head of the regiment fell in the middle instead. He walked quickly to the pothole, and then the lame old man who followed him knocked the mud clods dropped by Alka with his crutch.

With the knocking, the soil on the mud block peeled off.

The items that are obviously made of gemstones and precious metals are exposed, and there are valuable parts at a glance.

Looking at this thing, the old man's muddy eyes became clear.

And the captain also showed a wild smile on his face, pulling the hideous scar on his face.

"Hahahaha, hurry up, don't let them run away!"

He smiled, kicked the ground fiercely, and shot out like a sharp arrow, surpassing all the pirates in a while.

The old man was holding a cane, hooked one side of the cane like a hook to a young pirate who wanted to chase, and dragged him back.

"You, guard here, these are all wealth, if one is missing, I will break your legs."

The eyes of the young pirate who was dragged by him were slightly reddish, and he was agitated. He was about to gesticulate at the old man twice with his weapon in hand.

After seeing the old man's expression, he calmed down.

Looking at those people who were already chasing forward quickly, he grunted reluctantly.

But he had to stand still.

The old man looks weak and easy to bully, but no one really dares to do this, so he can only obediently wait where he is.

Seeing this, the old man smiled and patted him with the cane, and quickly ran out with the cane.

The running speed would not make people think that this is a lame old man.

"Bah, a bunch of bastards who are open to money, it's best to die outside, damn it."

The young pirate said disdainfully, and after venting for a while, he sat there a little irritatedly.

Looking at those backpacks in the dirt, his eyes lit up and he began to clean up the dirt outside.

Although you can't eat it all by yourself, it will not be a big deal if you have an eye addiction, and you can experience the feeling of mastering wealth.

It took a while for those pirates to disappear from sight.

The shadows in the nearby bushes flashed, and it seemed that there was a figure flickering out.

And the young pirate was still obsessed with the treasure in his hand, carefully cleaning the dirt on it.

From time to time, he also sighed to himself.

Suddenly, he frowned and his aura changed. He turned his head and threw the treasure in his hand forcefully, then drew out his sword and slashed downward.

The puppet girl in the shadow behind had no choice but to reveal her figure and crossed two small long swords in her hands to block the blades.

The doll girl seems to be a little bigger.

"Little thing, you still want to sneak attack me." The young pirate's eyes lit up when he saw the doll girl.

"It must be worth a lot of money."

Thinking about raising the blade forcefully, he wanted to continue slashing at the doll girl.

However, before the blade in his hand fell, he covered his neck with his eyes wide open.

At this time, two blood-red wounds had appeared on his neck, and fresh blood kept gushing out.

Covering it with both hands, the blood is still flowing out from between the fingers, and it can't be stopped at all.

Two puppet girls came out from the shadow behind him, silently watching his struggle.

And the puppet girl in front of her took the long sword in her hand and stabbed it into the pirate's chest.

Even though the blade is slender and short, it is enough to pierce the heart.

After doing all this, the three puppet girls quickly escaped into the shadows and ran towards the distance.

And the corpse that fell in a pool of blood.

The pungent bloody smell is constantly spreading towards the surroundings.

The hunger brought by winter attracts everything around.

These existing corpses will naturally have something to help them clean up.

At this time, a figure was running wildly on the snow.

It was Alka who was covered in wounds, and as he ran wildly, the blood on his body dripped onto the snow.

Constantly changing direction, running back and forth between the bushes and grass.

Trying to shake off the pursuers behind.

The pirate captain, smiling all over his face, pursued bloodily.

Looking at the blood on the ground, he smiled.

"Ask in fear and panic, oh~ I like it so much."

He liked the feeling of hunting so much.

Looking at Alka who was still running away in the distance, he swung his right hand.

Nothing was thrown out.

But Alka, who was running away, staggered, stabilized his figure again, and continued to run away.

The clothes on his back were inexplicably cut open again, and a wound appeared in the flesh and blood inside, and blood began to drip.

"Haha, run, run! Speed ​​up and move."

Along with the chase, the magic power in Arka's body was also forced to be exposed.

The strength of the Nine Spirals was clearly seen by the pirate captain.

Although it's not as weak as expected, it doesn't matter.

For him who has advanced to the third stage, the enemies of the Nine Spirals are just playthings.

He really enjoys this process.

Opportunities like this are not easy to come by at sea.

So the opportunity is rare.

He has to have a good time.

For his game, Arka also tried his best to cooperate.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to keep attracting the captain's attention, and he had already prepared several methods and means.

It turned out that the pirate captain had his own method, and he didn't need Arka to prepare it for him.

Alka's face was full of panic, and he was still cleaning up the wound on his body while running.

He also held a ball in his hand.

It is recording the time and predicting the coming of night.
