Chapter 773 If nothing unexpected happens
"Let's go and take a look," Luo Xiu immediately stood up and said when he heard that the victims were asking for help.
However, he quickly came to his senses, looked at Yun Jing and said, "Mr. Yun, I have to go check it out. We have an unwritten rule in the Dragon Kingdom. If you encounter a victim at sea, you will be saved if you can. Even if you don't, it's okay."
People know it, but if it is rescued and the government verifies it is true, the rescuer will be rewarded. This time, I am not trying to get that reward. After all, human life is at stake."
Yun Jing nodded when he heard this and said: "It's okay, business is important, don't worry about me."
I have to say that Dragon Kingdom is quite humane and does not force others to do good deeds, but there are rewards for taking the initiative to help.
Luo Xiu left quickly, and Yun Jing also turned his attention to the direction of the victims, but no victims were seen on the sea within the range of his mind.
At first, he wondered how someone could ask for help from this ship traveling at several times the speed of sound on the sea. It seemed that the distance was too far and the distress signal was released in a large area, and it just happened that the people on the ship saw it.
To the right of the ship's forward direction, a beam of red light shot straight into the sky. It could be seen very far away. It was already beyond the observation range of Yunjing's telepathy. He estimated that the distance was as far as four to five thousand miles.
Thousands of miles away, even if the distress signal is released as high as possible, Yunjing and his ship can only see a few signals, and they will not be noticed at all if they are not paying attention.
It is estimated that that red light was a recognized distress signal, which attracted the immediate attention of the sailors on the ship.
Luo Xiu quickly went to the highest point of the ship, observed the direction of the distress signal, and immediately made a decision. The ship yawed slightly and headed in that direction. However, saving people was like putting out a fire, so he ordered a rescue speedboat to be dispatched first.
There are also lifeboats on this building ship. There are four lifeboats in total, each less than 20 meters long. They are mounted on the front and rear sides of the building ship. If the building ship is damaged, you can use this to escape. The lifeboats are also small in speed due to their small size.
It's faster, but it can't travel far.
Under Luo Xiu's arrangement, the two lifeboats separated from the main ship and quickly flew away in the direction of the distress signal at nearly ten times the speed of sound.
Under such circumstances, it was a bit outrageous for Yunjing to eat and drink contentedly, so he packed up and finished his meal and disappeared in a flash.
Saving people is like putting out fires. Even if Yunjing has the ability, he will not ignore the situation. He is not indifferent to that level.
Soon Yunjing appeared above the sea where the rescue signal appeared, much faster than the lifeboat arranged by Luo Xiu.
The sea was relatively calm, but there were ship fragments scattered everywhere within a radius of dozens of miles, and some of the fragments had people on them drifting with the current.
These victims were obviously fishermen, most of them were ordinary people, but there were also powerful warriors. Yunjing swept his mind and saw that warriors with true artistic conception used ice-cold techniques to condense the seawater into ice floes of a hundred meters.
Twenty or thirty people stood there, and the ice floe under their feet became their only support. Compared with the sea, the ice floe was not enough to bring people a sense of security.
At the same time, the warriors of the True Illusion Realm and the Xiantian Realm warriors tried their best to use Qinggong to save people at sea, but the effect was very little. Some people had already died, and there were corpses floating in many places in the sea.
It must have been some time since something happened to these people. This was by no means the first time that the distress signal was sent out, it was just the last time it was seen by the ship Yunjing and the others were on.
Deep-sea fishing is a very profitable industry, but it is also very risky. People often go out to sea for a long time at a time, which is like having their heads tied to their waistbands. Many people go out to sea once and never come back.
In the cold winter, fishermen fall into trouble and fall into the water. It is difficult to protect their cultivation. Ordinary fishermen cannot survive long once they fall into the water.
When he came to this place, he glanced at the cloud scenery and started to save people. He didn't show up. As soon as he thought about it, the people who fell into the water flew out of the water and landed on the ice floe under his control. The whole process was just a few seconds.
With just one breath, all the people still alive within the range of Yunjing's telepathy were rescued.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Jing sighed in his heart, it was all about living, and it was not easy for anyone, so he collected the bodies of the fishermen who had fallen into the water and put them on the ice floe, hoping that they could return home and bury them in peace.
For the victims, Yunjing's rescue was a miracle. Most of them thought that God had appeared and knelt down to worship. However, those few warriors in the true realm and the innate realm realized that there was an expert rescuing them, so they expressed their gratitude and prayed for a meeting.
, but Yunjing still had no intention of showing up.
Fishing at sea is very risky. In addition to natural disasters, there are also wild beasts in the sea, so it is not surprising that there are experts.
However, after rescuing the people, Yun Jing could see from the scattered ship wreckage that they were definitely not in a normal situation. It was obviously man-made, and some of the wreckage still had the aura of warriors on it!
‘Did we encounter pirates? But pirates robbed fishing boats? And there are no other ships within thousands of miles.’
Just as Yun Jing's thoughts flickered, the lifeboat sent by Luo Xiu quickly arrived at this place, and immediately dropped to the sea and began to rescue people on board.
When they saw the ships arriving, the victims on the ice floe saw hope of survival and felt much more at ease.
There were more than 80 victims who survived, and as many as 200 died, turning into cold corpses. These victims were obviously more than that, and more of the dead had been buried in the sea, where there were sharks swimming in the sea.
…
It can be seen from this that the scale of this fishing team is definitely not small. Yunjing can judge from the scattered shipwrecks that their ship is very large, almost four hundred meters in length. If such a large fishing ship returns with a full load, the harvest must be considerable.
Rich, but unfortunately now they are lucky to be alive.
As for the issue of how to keep the fish fresh in distant-water fishing, Yunjing also learned about it when communicating with Luo Xiu and the others before. Those with this kind of distant-water fishing ability have means to maintain the activity of the fish, ensuring that the fish will remain fresh even after returning for a few months.
More than 90% of them are fresh. If a valuable treasure is caught, a signal will be sent back and someone will come and take it away as soon as possible.
When the lifeboat came here, the Bai family's building boat also quickly approached this direction. After making sure that everything was okay, Yun Jing returned to the building boat silently.
Luo Xiu learned about the situation immediately and probably knew that Yun Jing had taken action. After Yun Jing returned to the ship, he looked over and nodded to indicate, but he was still busy and had no time to communicate with Yun Jing.
The lifeboat was extremely fast and carried all the victims back to the ship several times, including the corpses. In this case, no one had any objections. If they objected, who would come if they were killed one day?
mercy?
After the victims boarded the ship, the ship continued to sail towards the Dragon Kingdom. Luo Xiu immediately contacted the senior management of the victims and the two parties exchanged identities.
After the exchange, Luo Xiu learned that these people engaged in offshore fishing also came from Haijiao Port, but they were not a subsidiary of the Bai family, but the Hai family, which specialized in the seafood business.
Of course, the Hai family cannot compare to a behemoth like the Bai family. Let alone the Dragon Kingdom, they are not even ranked high in Haijiao Port.
The leader is a senior member of the Hai family, or the third person in the Hai family, named Hai Lei, who is responsible for the damaged fishing boat. He originally wanted to go to sea to catch more and gain more money before the New Year Festival, but now he is lucky to be alive.
, the pension after returning will probably make the Hai family very nervous!
Haijiao Port is the territory of a prince from the mythical realm of the Bai family. How could the Hai family fail to recognize the banner of the Bai family? I won’t say anything about my gratitude, but my posture is as low as possible.
Due to the way their skills were rescued, they must have been rescued by an expert from the Bai family on the ship. The expert who rescued them did not want to show up, and Hai Lei did not dare to say thank you in person.
People will always use such methods easily, how can they care about a few words of thanks?
Luo Xiu was a little embarrassed. He knew that it was Yunjing who rescued people, but the other party thought that it was the Bai family who saved them. The Bai family would not do such embarrassing things even if it was nothing.
Luo Xiu wanted to explain his contribution, but Yun Jing secretly said that it was not necessary, so he could only give up.
After Hai Lei and Luo Xiu had some contact and exchanged identities, they found out that they were from the Bai family. Luo Xiu was well-informed and immediately said: "Brother Hai, you think it's not as simple as encountering a normal situation, right?"
"Mr. Luo, I was just going to explain the situation to you." Hai Lei immediately said with a serious face. When Luo Xiu nodded and listened, Hai Lei continued: "To be honest, we encountered pirates. A sudden wave of pirates
appeared, destroyed our fishing boat, looted it, and left, leaving us to fend for ourselves in the sea. The pirates were extremely vicious. There were more than ten top masters in the late stage of Zhenyijing alone. We were no match at all. Fortunately, they did not suffer any pain.
The killer only left because we had no place to stand, otherwise we wouldn't be able to wait for your rescue."
Luo Xiu had expected that they would encounter the pirate. He was not too surprised to hear what he said, but he was a little confused and said: "Brother Hai, don't mind what I say, I don't mean anything else. It stands to reason that pirates are not profitable.
Wake up early, they actually robbed one of your fishing boats, what are they trying to do? They couldn't rob the fish and sell it, they have the guts to go ashore, especially if they destroyed your fishing boat, even if there were fish,
I can’t take it with me.”
There is a saying that the mere catch of fish is really not worth the risk of pirates, after all, there will inevitably be casualties if they do it.
Hai Lei understood Luo Xiu's doubts, but he gritted his teeth and said: "What Mr. Luo said is absolutely true. A mere stinky fish or rotten shrimp is certainly not worth the pirates' action, but we happened to be lucky this time and caught a red flame fish.
Mr. Luo, do you know the value of the red flame fish? We paid a huge price to salvage it. We were originally ready to return home as soon as possible, but the pirates came and robbed it!"
Luo Xiu was immediately relieved after hearing what he said. If it was the Red Flame Fish, it would make sense. No wonder the pirates would take action.
The red flame fish is not something like pure fish that can only satisfy the appetite, but an extremely precious exotic beast. It is so ferocious that it can burn with blazing flames even in water. Its value is reflected in its effect on warriors.
The auxiliary effect, especially for warriors in the late stages of the True Inspiration Realm who practice fire-based skills, if they can use the Red Flame Fish for a long time, it will be of great help to enter the Mythical Realm!
Such a precious thing is worthy of being sold by pirates. To say it is priceless is not an exaggeration.
However, as a strange beast in the sea, the red flame fish is very ferocious in itself, especially in the sea. Without special fishing tools, even late-stage warriors in the true artistic realm can only stare at it, so the price Hai Lei mentioned is definitely not just talk.
But now there is nothing left, and the red flame fish that I got was snatched away. You can imagine your heartache and anger.
Can Luo Xiu become a servant of the Bai family, or the personal bodyguard of Bai Wenhao, the direct young master of the Bai family? He is not stupid, he directly grasped the key point and said: "You just caught the red flame fish on the front foot, and the pirates came to the door on the back foot?
"
"This is indeed the fact. It must be that the pirates planted spies among our people. We were notified to the pirates as soon as we caught the Red Flame Fish. This is a common method of pirates. Anyone who designs marine business,
It is impossible to rule out the possibility that there are pirate spies under their command. Spies are usually invisible and may lie dormant all their lives without any clues. Once these disgusting guys are notified of colluding with pirates, they can often cause heavy losses, such as ours.
Times!" Hai Lei said with an ugly expression.
Let alone how hateful the pirates are, the imperial court is well aware of the evil. The key is that after being robbed, it is very likely that the spies they planted are still among their own people. This is too damned. Since they are dormant, they are not only so easy to be exposed.
, anyone can be a spy, but you can't just change the number of people next time, so changing the number will ensure that there are no pirate spies among them?
Luo Xiu also expressed sympathy for this and said with emotion: "I understand Brother Hai's mood, but this kind of thing is inevitable, calm down, don't make yourself angry, contact the government after landing, and try to find out the spies.
If we can follow the clues and find the pirates' nest and destroy it, it will be a great achievement. Think in the right direction in everything."
"That's all it can do." Hai Lei smiled bitterly. What could he do? The imperial court had zero tolerance for all kinds of bandits, but how could bandits be eradicated so easily? There are always people who take risks, and if a group is wiped out, there will be others elsewhere.
A batch popped up.
Not to mention how heavy the Hai family's losses were this time. Not to mention that the pension was still straining their muscles and bones. The loss of the Red Flame Fish also meant that they lost an opportunity to establish a relationship with the Bai family.
The Bai family is a behemoth in the entire Dragon Kingdom. There are many people who need the Red Flame Fish to practice. Is it far to go to the Hai family to become a successful person? A little care is enough for the Hai family to make a lot of money, especially with this kind of relationship.
Is it still difficult to make money?
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Hai Lei suddenly changed his face and reminded hesitantly: "Master Luo, our arrival will not cause you any trouble, right? After all, there are probably pirate spies among our people, and they are extremely vicious.
The pirates are engaged in the business of beheading, but they will not care about your Bai family, and even because you are the Bai family, you may be the fat sheep in their eyes!"
"I don't rule out this possibility. I will make the people below be wary." Luo Xiu raised his eyebrows and nodded. He did not take it lightly because he had the Bai family behind him.
As Hai Lei said, pirates are in the business of beheading, and they don't care about your background. The more powerful you are, the more likely they are to target you!
As he spoke, Luo Xiu's heart moved and he asked: "By the way, what was the flag of the pirates who robbed you?"
"I paid attention to this. The boats that robbed us were several clippers, each with a black flag embroidered with a dragon. Is there any explanation for this?" Hai Lei replied after thinking for a while.
Hearing this, Luo Xiu's expression darkened and he said: "Brother Hai, you don't know something. It's because you are not in contact with that level. The black dragon flag means that the pirates who robbed you are from the subordinates of the black dragon king, the tyrant in the sea. The black dragon king is a myth."
Realm cultivation level, and they are not weak at that level, and there are two brothers who are worshippers in the Myth Realm. Do you understand what they represent? They are registered in the imperial court, and their bounty ranks among the top ten all year round, but they are close to
They've been at large for hundreds of years!"
Hearing this, Hailei took a breath of air and suddenly realized how lucky he was to still be alive.
It stands to reason that they are making a living at sea and have never heard of the Black Flood Dragon King, but the level gap is so big that they have never thought about it in that direction before. After all, how could little shrimps like them be targeted by the Black Flood Dragon King?
At this time, Luo Xiu couldn't care about Hai Lei anymore and said: "Brother Hai, you go and rest first. Everything has been arranged. I still have something to do."
"Master Luo, you're welcome...uh..." Hai Lei wanted to say something else, but Luo Xiu had already left in a hurry. He couldn't understand what the other party was worried about for a while, but Luo Xiu was a member of the Bai family and could talk to him.
He already gave himself a lot of face by speaking, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
The reason why Luo Xiu left in a hurry was because he thought that there was Bai Wenhao on the ship. As the direct young master of the Bai family, Bai Wenhao did not care what would happen to him if he returned in his current situation. He also represented the Bai family when he was away from home.
And Hai Lei and the others are likely to have spies from the Black Flood Dragon King. Once the news of Bai Wenhao's existence is fed back, how can the Black Flood Dragon King let this opportunity pass?
If Bai Wenhao falls into the hands of the Black Dragon King, the consequences will be disastrous. Blackmail is a trivial matter. Where will the Bai family's face be put?
If pirates dare to engage in beheading business, how can they be afraid of the Bai family?
Luo Xiu, who was separated from Hai Lei, found Yun Jing immediately. At this time, he couldn't care so much. If the Black Dragon King attacks, the only one he can rely on now is Yun Jing. He doesn't know if Yun Jing can deal with it.
The Black Flood Dragon King, especially when the Black Flood Dragon King has two brothers from the myth realm, he only hopes that Yun Jing can take Bai Wenhao away as much as possible at the critical moment. Even in the worst case scenario, Bai Wenhao cannot fall into the Black Flood Dragon King's hands.
In the hands of these pirates, this is a matter of concern to the face of the entire Bai family. If that happens, it is no exaggeration to say that the entire Dragon Kingdom will be shaken. That kind of situation is beyond what Luo Xiu can imagine.
After rescuing people, Yunjing returned to the ship. He knew from the beginning that Hai Lei and the others were not normal, so he paid a little attention, but never thought that the Black Dragon King's pirate force was involved.
When Luo Xiu came over, Yun Jing understood his purpose and said calmly: "Brother Luo, please be patient. I probably understand the situation. I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be in a hurry, Black Dragon King."
If you find them, you can't avoid them, and it's useless if they don't come."
Luo Xiu did not dare to speculate on the methods of the mythical realm. Yun Jing could understand their conversation without any doubt. He took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Yun, I told you before how tyrannical and lawless the Black Dragon King pirates are.
That is an existence that even the imperial court dares to attack, so we must not take it lightly. I am not doubting Mr. Yun's strength, but they have so many people that it is better to be careful. The purpose of my coming here is not to invite Mr. Yun in case they come.
"I just want to have a chance to take my young master away, but if that doesn't work, please inform the Bai family about our encounter with the Black Dragon King."
He was prepared for the worst. Once the Black Dragon King attacked, they might not be able to leave, but Yunjing had a great chance. For the sake of the Bai family, they couldn't fall into the trap of pirates like the Black Dragon King.
in hand.
Yunjing had already shown certain methods before. Luo Xiu didn't know how powerful he was in the mythical realm, but the shadow of the famous tree was the Black Dragon King. Luo Xiu's heart was more inclined towards Yunjing and not
The Black Dragon King and their opponents are, after all, three levels of mythical beings.
Perhaps this ship is not enough for the three brothers of the Black Dragon King to join forces, but if the Bai family is added, how can the other party not pay attention to it? It should be noted that the big forces will more or less give the trump card of the mythical realm.
In short, there is nothing wrong in trying to think the worst of the situation. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.
Yun Jing understood Luo Xiu's negative thoughts. It was useless to persuade him, and it was impossible to say that everything was safe with him. Instead, he changed the subject and said: "By the way, Brother Luo, before you said that the Black Dragon King and the others
Are these pirates registered in your Dragon Kingdom?"
"That's natural. Mr. Yun, are you sure about this?" Luo Xiu asked doubtfully. He was really confused by Yun Jing. How long has it been since he was still in the mood to care about this?
After receiving the affirmation, Yunjing considered the situation he would encounter after going to the Dragon Kingdom, so he said thoughtfully: "I was thinking, since the Black Dragon King and others have registered in your Dragon Kingdom, if you can deal with them, what will happen to you?"
The Long Kingdom court should have something to say, right?"
"If they can be eradicated, the court will not only express it, but it will be a huge achievement. It can directly make the king a prince. Well, the mythical realm is already qualified to make the king. This is just the icing on the cake. The most important thing is the bounty.
As well as the benefits of the gathering of forces from all sides, no one is jealous. Mr. Yun, if you ask this, it means..." As he spoke, Luo Xiu himself was shocked, and subconsciously stared at Yun Jing, who was a little confused.
.
Yun Jing smiled and said: "I'm just asking. Brother Luo, don't think too much. Well... if we eradicate them, can people who are not from the Dragon Kingdom be crowned kings and become princes?"
"I don't know about this. It should be a bit confusing." Luo Xiu shook his head subconsciously and paused. Although he didn't know what Yun Jing was thinking, he still hesitated and said: "If, I mean if, Mr. Yun can eradicate them."
If you do, it will be much more beneficial to your situation after you dock."
He had offended one of the various factions of the Dragon Kingdom, and he didn't know what kind of cloud scenery would come to him after he docked. Although he had prepared many back-ups, it would be great if he had an extra bargaining chip.
We haven’t made contact yet, and Yunjing doesn’t dare to say anything big, but why not give it a try?
Saying nothing more, Yunjing looked towards the distance of the sea.
"Mr. Yun?" Seeing that he was silent, Luo Xiu was stunned.
Yun Jing said: "It will come slower than expected, please be mentally prepared."
"What's the meaning?"
"If nothing else, the Black Dragon King and others are here. It seems that your Bai family is really attractive to them."
