Chapter 121 Escape at sea! Open the wound! "[Blood Duke]...could it be?!" Hearing this name, Feiya immediately thought of the Duke Island where he and the captain were jointly wanted. “That ship is here to hunt us?” “I guess not.” Xia En looked at the fleet not far away and thought: "There are also salvage ships among them. Their purpose is to come to [Rust Waste City] to salvage the heritage." "but…" Xia En didn't finish what he said, but all the crew members understood what he meant. Now, since they met in this sea area, the [Blood Duke] obviously will not let them go! Not long after Xia En came to the deck.
A sharp and loud whistle sounded from the fleet not far away! This sound is like a charging horn. Comparing with the last time she heard the name [Black Swan], she had some impressions, but still not much. The man's voice stopped suddenly, replaced by a weird sucking sound. “Oh, it’s the wanted boat carrying the [Silver Moon Traitor], right?” Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, Captain!" “Raise the anchor, hoist the sail, and set sail!” A knock came from outside the door. “Dong dong!” Duke Nova thought for a moment before he remembered the origin of this ship. “I didn’t expect such a surprise, so let’s send a few ships to sink it.” The long whistle echoed on the sea surface, and the [Black Swan] turned from static in an instant, continuously accelerating on the sea surface, and moving forward through the waves!
… “[Black Swan]?” The slightly hoarse voice of Duke Nova sounded. In the luxurious cabin on the upper deck. The situation at this moment is undoubtedly extremely dangerous, but with Xia En on the boat, they feel a strong sense of confidence and security. Bruno lowered his head and reported respectfully: "The lookout found traces of the [Black Swan] in the nearby waters."
Different from Duke Nova, he was deeply impressed by the [Black Swan]. “It’s Bruno, what’s the matter?” 【Blood Duke】. The new butler Bruno pushed in the door. Compared with when he first took office, his appearance was visibly older, and he also had a few more white hairs on his head. It also completely opened the curtain on this maritime encounter. Bruno nodded and said: "Four **** ships have already set off." "but…" … After all, he was able to become the Duke's butler precisely because of the conflict between Sage and the Black Swan. “Advance at maximum speed, target, southeast!” The only thing that remains unchanged is the awe in his demeanor. Bruno's tone was a little serious. In an instant, several smaller steamships were attacking the Black Swan in a menacing manner, like fierce and greedy hyenas! At this time, Xia En showed the calmness that a captain should have and ordered. “Everyone, get back to your place!” It was definitely not a gentle and ambiguous caress, but more like a hungry beast gnawing on its prey! After a while, there was only one sound of breathing in the curtain. Deep inside the lavender curtain, the overlapping and violently moving figures stopped temporarily for some reason. 【Want to serve you! 】 Hearing this, the handsome man in the curtain immediately trembled and said quickly: "My lord, Duke, please...please..." “I feel a little unwell today, tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely...” “What a terrible man, he can’t even make me happy.” "Your Majesty, with all due respect, I'm afraid we can't take down the Black Swan with just those four **** ships." “Xiao Hei, I’m going to ask you for help this time.” “But what?” They firmly believe that the captain will lead them out of danger! At the same time that the crew started to take action, Xia En walked to the rudder again and held the dark solid steering wheel. Besides, that ship was originally just a small salvage ship, but in less than half a year, it had gained quite a reputation on Silver Moon Island.
Its captain, Xia En, has jumped from an ordinary person who was heavily in debt to a second-level mystic! All signs indicate that this ship and its captain have amazing potential! Bruno’s idea is simple. Since the Duke has made a grudge against the [Black Swan], rather than underestimate the other party, let it have the opportunity to escape and come back for revenge when it becomes stronger. It’s better to take advantage of the fact that the [Blood Duke] has the absolute advantage now, attack with all your strength, and crush it with thunder! Bruno explained his idea to Duke Nova and said. “I request... to use the forbidden relic, and let the [Blood Duke] take action as well.” Duke Nova thought for a moment: "Your statement is not unreasonable." “In that case, do as you are told.” “As for the sacrifices, choose them from among the slaves.” "yes!" Soon, Bruno brought several slaves to a room deep in the cabin. He slit the throats of slaves one after another. Blood gurgled out and gathered into a stream on the floor, eventually flowing into a scarlet ship sculpture in the center. Under the moisture of the blood, the boat sculpture looked even more vivid, as if it had come alive. Bruno muttered something: "...Use your soul as a sacrifice, please place a curse on the [Black Swan]." However, at this moment, the Scarlet Ship Eagle remained indifferent, as if waiting for something. Bruno was shocked. “The sacrifice is not enough?” He knew that the larger and mysterious the ship, the greater the cost of imposing a curse. But [Black Swan] is obviously just a small boat, why does it need so many sacrifices? But the sacrifice has begun and cannot be stopped. Otherwise, it will in turn cause backlash to the [Blood Duke]. Bruno had to bring more slaves to continue the process. The more sacrifices were made, the more frightened Bruno became. This number was enough to curse a ship like the Blood Duke! Until the 35th slave's blood is absorbed. The scarlet ship eagle just let out a sigh of satisfaction. Suddenly, a faint red light bloomed on the ship sculpture. A strange and mysterious force flows out from it, flows into the sea, and attaches itself to the hull of the Black Swan.
… … On the deck. 【Master... feels so uncomfortable...】 Xiao Hei's voice came into my mind. Xia En's expression suddenly changed. He could feel that there was some kind of cold and sticky power falling on the [Black Swan]. Hindering the progress of the ship, the speed of the entire ship began to decrease continuously. 【Your ship is cursed by a forbidden relic! 】 【Acquire the status "Blood Sacrifice Curse"! 】 【Description: A curse that uses the life of a living person as a sacrifice. 】 【Black Swan's "Speed" -10! 】 【Duration: 7 days! 】 Seeing these lines of information, Xia En's face became more and more gloomy. It is not difficult to guess that this is exactly what the Blood Duke did. At the original speed of the [Black Swan], the distance between it and those **** ships is constantly increasing, and it is only a matter of time before it can throw them away. However, now, the speeds of the two are gradually becoming equal, and the distance is showing a tendency to shorten. Worse… Xia En looked at the giant thing that started to move on the sea, his eyes a little cold. At this time, the [Blood Duke] also moved! “It seems you really want to kill me!” Xia En took out a long breath and forced himself to calm down. The only good news now is that the attributes brought by [Captain’s Majesty] are permanent bonuses and will not affect his own combat effectiveness because [Black Swan] is cursed. Xia En thought quickly while looking at the **** ship chasing behind him. “At the current speed, we will be overtaken by them sooner or later.” “But there is nothing to be afraid of in a simple battle with the **** ship. The key is not to be dragged by them.” “Otherwise, once the [Blood Duke] approaches, the chances of winning will be extremely slim.” “The only chance of survival is to open a wound and forcibly distance ourselves before the encirclement net is formed.” Exactly what Shane thought.
After discovering that the speed of the [Black Swan] dropped sharply, the four **** ships began to quickly approach in an outflanking manner, and an encirclement net was forming. A cold light flashed in Xia En's eyes, and he locked onto the **** ship closest to [Black Swan]. “Everyone, prepare for the battle!” “The battle must be resolved within half a minute!” This requirement sounds a bit harsh, but no one questioned it. All the crew members took out their weapons one after another, with determination on their faces, ready to fight. … … Aboard the **** ship [Tiexi]. Captain Sanson looked at the [Black Swan] not far away, with a flash of greed in his eyes. In his eyes, this is not a ship, but 500 gold dragon coins! If he could capture the captain of this ship, he might even be appreciated by the Duke and become the master of the Duke's Island. at this time. The [Black Swan] in the field of vision suddenly turned and accelerated, and rushed straight towards the [Iron Rhinoceros]! “You are treating me like a soft persimmon!” Sanson was startled at first, then sneered: "You've come just in time! I'll take your reward!" As a second-level secret path user, he has such confidence! Besides, he doesn’t even need to fight with the [Black Swan] to the end. As long as he persists until other **** ships arrive, victory will be within easy reach. It was this moment of contempt in Sanson's heart that made him make the most wrong decision in his life. He neither accelerated nor slowed down, nor did he turn the ship's bow. He just waited for the Black Swan to approach. As a result, the flanks of the [Iron Rhinoceros] were exposed to the [Black Swan] without any hindrance! “Ship, captain!” Some sailors noticed something unusual and couldn't help but exclaimed. “It’s about to hit! It’s about to hit!!” "What!?" Sanson was shocked: "Is he crazy?" The [Black Swan] in front of us has no tendency to slow down at all. It is like a crazy bull, charging forward with an indomitable momentum! At this time, it was already too late for the [Tiexi] to change course!
咚! ! A violent impact occurred the next moment. The hull of the [Tiexi] shook violently, and a huge gap immediately appeared on the surface of the hull, and it was still expanding. Many sailors who did not react were thrown out of the ship and fell into the sea. Subsequently, fierce fireballs and raging steam struck together, starting the killing on the deck.
