Gu Qingxi had already discovered that after Huo Xiaodao and Murong Yi started playing chess for a while, the phantom's gaze would come over from time to time, seeming to be observing their play.
Gu Qingxi even suspected that Phantom was interested in backgammon and might have already watched it.
Suddenly, Phantom stood up suddenly and looked into the distance with a stern face.
Gu Qingxi also followed his eyes, and after using her consciousness to investigate, she frowned slightly.
There is a group of ship beasts approaching here quickly.
Murong Yi and the others also noticed Gu Qingxi's movements, and also released their spiritual consciousness to investigate.
"One, two...eight, nine, ten." Murong Yi softly counted the number of ship beasts ahead.
There are ten ship beasts in front!
The leading ship beast is particularly huge and very fast.
Phantom felt the fleet approaching, with a look of disdain on his face, and deep sarcasm in his eyes.
The fleet soon appeared in everyone's eyes.
At this time, Gu Qingxi had a more intuitive understanding of the poverty of the ship they were on.
The fleet approaching them had a four-story cabin on the back of the leader's ship beast. There were many separate rooms on each floor. The higher the floor, the more luxurious the doors were.
The other ship beasts had three-story cabins instead of four. Although not as luxurious as the first boat, it was still much better than the open-air boat they were riding on.
And the main body of each ship is engraved with a gorgeous emblem with the same pattern.
Gu Qingxi and the other passengers on the ship were extremely excited after seeing the badges on the ship.
It's the general's fleet!
The general must have come to suppress the pirates. They were saved!
Phantom stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the fleet that was already changing formation and preparing to surround the ship at his feet, with eyes as cold as ice.
Huo Xiaodao clung to the side of the ship and looked curiously at the fleet not far away. The ship beast at the head was indeed very big, but compared with his own roar, it was still far behind.
Gu Qingxi and the others were also observing the fleet in front of them.
Obviously these ship beasts are well-trained, and the people on the fleet are not ordinary inhabitants of the underwater abyss.
Everyone on the fleet is dressed in uniform, like a guard. Although the weapons used are different, including swords, spears, and axes, the handles of all weapons have the same color and pattern.
It's more like a well-trained army.
The Octopus crew member came over and whispered something that confirmed Gu Qingxi's guess.
"Miss Gu, this fleet is an army led by the general. He has been encircling and suppressing pirates. No, to be precise, he has been chasing phantoms at sea over the years." After the Octopus crew member finished speaking, he lowered his voice, "
The general's encirclement and suppression of pirates was indeed ordered by the king, but it seems that he mainly wanted to kill the phantom, and the other pirates only did so in passing. It is said that the general and the phantom did so because of a personal grudge."
The other passengers were holding on to the side of the boat tightly at this time, looking excitedly at the fleet of boats surrounding them in front of them, wanting to jump off the boat immediately and swim towards those fleets.
But no one dared to act rashly due to the group of flash-toothed beasts swimming under the ship beast.
Ten ship beasts surrounded the ship beasts where Gu Qingxi and the others were, but kept a long distance away.
Obviously the general knew very well how powerful the Shining Tooth Lings driven by Phantom were.
Soon, a voice came from the big ship at the head of the fleet. The voice was deep and deep: "Phantom, let's capture it without mercy. You should know very well that your black fish can't deal with so many ship beasts like us."
Phantom stood on the bow of the boat, letting the sea breeze blow his long hair around. There was no expression on his handsome face, and he just said lightly: "You can try it."
Has the fleet come to try it out?
No.
The Phantom Pirate is the most special pirate on the sea. Although he is always alone, he makes ships on the sea tremble with fear and fear. Even those fleets with more than a dozen sea beasts cannot compare to his vicious reputation.
The black fish he drives are the nemesis of all ship beasts.
The rich voice just now sounded again: "Phantom, don't think I don't know that the feed for your black fish is about to run out. If you can't feed the black fish, you won't be able to drive them. You can't escape this time!"
After hearing this, Phantom's expression remained unchanged and he simply said: "Stop farting. If you want to hit me, hurry up."
The fleet was instantly silent.
Gu Qingxi could even imagine the face of the speaker distorted after hearing Phantom's words.
Then the two parties were in a stalemate.
Wan Ling couldn't help it anymore: "Master, the person on the other side is really cowardly. He yelled a lot of harsh words, but he just didn't dare to move."
Gu Qingxi replied to Wan Ling: "That's because the other party is not sure whether Phantom's Shining Tooth Ling really has no food. The most important thing is that they don't know that the black fish driven by Phantom is Shining Tooth Ling. Without the constraints of Phantom,
Only then will the real slaughter begin."
"Ignorance, stupidity!" Wan Ling bared his teeth, "If we really kill Phantom, it would be a disaster. But, Master, don't you think Phantom is not like the heinous pirate the crew described him as?"
When Gu Qingxi heard this, she thought about it and opened her spiritual eyes directly on the phantom.
After taking a look, Gu Qingxi felt some burning pain in her eyes and immediately closed her spiritual eyes.
"Qingxi! What's wrong with your eyes?!" Murong Yi whispered, looking at Gu Qingxi and asked.
"There's no bleeding." Gu Qingxi wiped the corners of her eyes subconsciously, feeling that except for the burning pain just now, there was no other discomfort. And when she touched the corners of her eyes, there was indeed no bleeding. What was Murong Yi exclaiming?
Liao Kong glanced at Gu Qingxi, silently took out a small mirror from his arms, and held it in front of Gu Qingxi.
Then Gu Qingxi saw that her eyes were red, and she looked like a possessed person.
"Have you opened your spiritual eyes?" Zuokong asked in a low voice.
Murong Yi slowly tilted his head and looked at the sky, wondering in his heart, why would a monk wear a mirror with him? It was truly carried with him! He took it out from his arms, not from his storage bag.
!
"Yes." Gu Qingxi nodded.
"What did you see?" Feng Xiatian asked in a low voice.
Liao Kong was also curious about what Gu Qingxi saw that made her eyes turn red like this.
Gu Qingxi did not answer immediately, but looked up at the leader of the fleet in front of the ship beast, and whispered: "Rumors and truth are sometimes separated by a chasm."
Everyone was stunned after hearing this.
Feng Xiatian and Kong knew best what Gu Qingxi's spiritual eyes represented.
The two of them glanced at the phantom in shock.
So, the Phantom is not as heinous as the rumors say?
