The sea breeze blows, the waves pile up, and the sun slants.
On the third floor of the Golden Elephant, Lin Mo was sitting quietly with Yuan Zhu, fishing and concentrating his energy.
Now that he was out of the windless sea, he planned to find an island pier to disembark soon, and then transform into a dragon and quickly return to the Thuja Islands.
After all, although the Golden Elephant is fast, it is completely unable to compare with his Black Dragon state.
As for the issue of exposure while in dragon form, he didn't need to worry at all.
After transforming into a black dragon, Lin Mo can freely change body size, soar in the air, and swim under the sea, making him very invisible.
And if he takes ten thousand steps back, even if he is discovered, in these seven seas, who can stop him, and who dares to stop him?
It's just that it was a smooth sailing in the Windless Sea and the Sea Clan Sea, but after arriving in the Seven Seas, trouble unexpectedly occurred.
Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
In the endless sea ahead, on the blue sea, two iron ships similar to theirs appeared.
It's just that the iron ship in front is slightly smaller. It is not a three-story ship like the Golden Elephant ocean ship, but only has a two-story structure.
There are also jet-black iron cannons mounted on the hull, and a flag with a golden trident and a red tiger head hung on the flagpole above.
On the bow of the leading iron ship stood a white-faced man in a black robe.
The man was dressed in a black robe with gold thread embroidery on the edges. A ferocious red tiger head hung on his chest, and in his hand was a thick tiger-headed hammer about ten feet long.
The three ships approached each other and began to slow down at the same time.
"Miss Lorica, the farce should be over." Before he could get closer, the man in black clothes gently touched the tiger hammer in his hand, a cold look appeared on his face, and he said with a grin,
"You are really naughty this time!"
His tone was extremely slow, and his pitch was high and low, but his voice was very loud. Even though he was tens of meters away, everyone on the Golden Elephant could still hear him clearly.
The sharp and cold voice had a strange sense of oppression that made the listener's heart tighten and make the listener hold his breath involuntarily.
The moment the words fell.
Wow.
On the two iron ships, strong men in uniforms with red flowers on a black background walked onto the deck. With a flick of their hand, thick chain hooks flew out, steadily hooking out the Golden Elephant.
Dozens of flying hooks instantly locked the three ships together.
next moment.
One by one, burly men with strong builds and holding steel knives, who looked very imposing at first sight, stepped on the chains and flew onto the Golden Elephant, causing the tourists and sailors on the ship to flee in fear.
At this time, the captain of the Golden Elephant stopped looking. He was obviously a man over two meters tall, but a smile appeared on his face and he quickly came up to meet him.
When he really saw the flag of the Trident Red Tiger on the iron ship, his smile became a little uglier.
"All the heroes of the Seven Seas Alliance, under the command of Protector Xia Lingdu, Captain Tian Shaoye of the Golden Elephant, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. We are a family. If you need help, just ask!"
Behind the man were also three or four big men, who had an extraordinary aura and usually had a proud look on their faces, but now, their faces were all pale.
The man in black clothes didn't say a word, and didn't even raise his eyelids. After boarding the ship, his men followed closely behind him and began to disperse the crowd and take over the entire Golden Elephant.
The captain, who had always been arrogant, did not dare to resist at this time.
"This is the power of the Seven Seas Alliance."
Yuan Zhu looked at this scene, feeling a little proud in his heart, and sighed softly:
"The golden trident is the main symbol of the Seven Seas Alliance. In this outer sea, the Seven Seas Alliance is the absolute overlord. Any high-sea ship that wants to trade must report to the alliance and find someone to take care of it. The Lingdu Guardian
, he is also a member of the Seven Seas Alliance."
"He is also a member of the Seven Seas Alliance? Then why does such a thing happen?" Lin Mo was startled, a little confused.
He looked at the captain, who was completely hesitating in front of the white-faced man in black clothes, standing like a follower. He was obviously a great master, but he had no temper at all.
"The Seven Seas Alliance is an alliance with many factions. For example, the golden trident on the flag represents the Sea Clan, and the red tiger next to it represents the famous Chishan Tiger from the Seven Seas.
This Golden Elephant is just a ship merchant under the protection of an ordinary protector, and the captain's strength is just a miracle. He is just like a housekeeper working for a concubine. How can he dare to go against the direct lineage of the master's family?" Yuan Zhu explained with a smile.
"Brother Tian, this matter is indeed important. I will discuss it with Lao Ling afterward."
The white-faced man in black clothes said softly, and after he finished speaking slowly, Tian Shaoye, who didn't know what to do at first, could only sigh angrily, nodded with a wry smile, and walked aside.
If you can't afford to offend, you can't afford to hide.
The white-faced man nodded with satisfaction, then clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the people on the deck.
"Miss Lorica, I know you are on the ship,
You know why I am here, and how much trouble I will get into if I am naughty again. Haha, let’s do this. I will count dozens, and then you will take the initiative to stand up. Otherwise, everyone on this boat will be in trouble.
Can't run.
You don’t want so many people to die because of you, right?”
On board the Golden Elephant, the man’s voice became louder and louder, and his voice became increasingly sinister.
Lin Mo stood on the third floor and could clearly see the many tourists on the boat. At this time, their faces were all frighteningly pale.
Especially the two girls downstairs, they are both good-looking, and their clothes show that they come from a good family background.
It was as if they had never seen this battle before, both of them looked nervous and timid, and their bodies were shaking. One of the girls, with her hair in a bun, was holding the arm of the other woman next to her, as if she was about to cry.
This provoked the two people's escort, a middle-aged elegant man in red, to constantly express relief.
"Brother Yuan, have you, the Seven Seas Alliance, always acted like this? If you really can't find that person, what...?" Lin Mo looked back and asked casually.
"No, this person must have important things to do this time, so he spoke a little too aggressively." Yuan Zhu said awkwardly, then put the fishing rod in his hand aside,
"Brother Lin, don't worry. Even if something goes wrong, just come with me and leave everything to me."
As he spoke, a proud smile appeared on his face.
Lin Mo is indeed stronger than him, but in this seven seas, in this outer sea under the jurisdiction of the Seven Seas Alliance, with the support of the Seven Seas Alliance, what he can do is far beyond what the former can imagine.
At this time, the white-faced man in black clothes was already counting down.
While counting, he paced around the boat and observed the people on the boat.
"One." No one.
"Two." No one.
"three."……
…
"Six." Still no one.
"……ten!"
Seeing that no one said anything, the white-faced man's expression changed, and he laughed angrily:
"Okay, okay! Miss Lorica came out and her heart really hardened."
After he finished speaking, he called a man to come forward and gave a brief explanation.
Immediately, a woman was brought up.
The woman was very scared and looked timid and nervous.
The white-faced man took out a diamond-shaped conch from his arms and waved it in front of him. It should be a detection tool.
The conch didn't respond.
The former's expression relaxed, but the next moment, his expression suddenly became stagnant.
puff!
In an instant, a black light flashed.
A bloody hole suddenly appeared on the woman's forehead.
There was no surprise at all. The faint smell of blood spread on the deck as the blood flowed out. She didn't react at all. She fell back and fell to the ground.
One breath.
Two breaths.
ah!!
Immediately, some timid people on the boat screamed in surprise, but they were suppressed before long.
The atmosphere was even more depressing at this time.
The white-faced man was very satisfied with this reaction, "Kill one by one until our Miss Lorica walks out. Well, men and women are equal. Kill a woman and then kill a man immediately, haha.
After all, I don’t believe that Miss Lorica could escape here without anyone’s help.” He smiled.
As soon as the words fell, several men immediately captured a scholar man, one holding him and the other taking action.
Click.
The scholar's neck was twisted weirdly, and his neck broke instantly. He let out a whimper, and then fell down.
"Next."
The white-faced man continued.
At this time, on the second floor, Lorica's heart felt like it was twisting in a knot, a sense of guilt came over her, her nose felt sore, and she wanted to cry for no reason.
She never expected that her stepmother would be so cruel. Even if she ran to Qihai, she would still not let her go.
I never expected that a white-faced man would be so unscrupulous and take the lives of innocent people at will.
At this moment, she wanted to stand up, but when she thought about the people who had sacrificed for her freedom along the way, she felt confused for a moment.
"Freedom? Is it really worth the sacrifice of so many people's lives for my freedom?" Lorica's nose became even more sore, and her cheeks couldn't help but get wet.
Somehow, she suddenly remembered what Uncle Heidi said to her before leaving:
"My child, your childhood was miserable enough, but none of this is your fault. In any case, you and we, like anyone else, have the right to pursue happiness and freedom.
Let's go, get out of this abyss, go to Qihai, go to your mother's hometown, no matter what, live a good life like an ordinary person."
Yes, living like ordinary people is already very good.
Lorica recalled her recent days on the Golden Elephant. Even if she stayed in the guest room for a long time, even if the life on board was boring, she was still far happier than her childhood.
She really wanted to continue like this.
But……
Lorica looked at her new best friend and best friend beside her, and at her solemn-looking father beside her. How could she be willing to harm more people and cause her best friend to die because of herself...?
puff!
Another woman fell.
This time, the female companion became angry and wanted to take action, but before she could make any move, the white-faced man struck her head with a tiger-head hammer.
Lin Mo frowned slightly when he saw this. The sun was getting bigger in the sky, which also delayed a lot of time.
He looked in front of him. Several people who were not even as strong as the True Lord were still making trouble like cats and mice, and he felt a little impatient for a moment.
"Brother Lin, don't be impulsive. There is a saying among scholars: a little impatience will ruin a big plan." On the side, Yuan Zhu noticed this scene and said softly.
He knew that Lin Mo was eager to return home and it was normal for him to be impatient. He also knew that the latter was very strong, and he was afraid that the scholar would suddenly get mad if his brain got hot.
Lin Mo frowned slightly when he saw this, thought for a while, and nodded.
Yuan Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that the other party had given him face, he was immediately willing to return the gift, so he stepped forward and clapped his hands.
Snap.
The thunderous applause directly attracted everyone's attention and became the focus of the scene.
He looked at the white-faced man in the distance and nodded, intending to say hello:
"Brother of Chishanhu, I am Yuan Zhu of Pinglangmen. I wonder what your name is? Now I have some important matters. I just came back from Haiyuan. Please give me some noodles and let the ship go.
Afterwards, return to Haimeng, let Yuan act as host, and apologize properly!"
As Yuan Zhu spoke, he took out a black token from his sleeve, with a golden trident on the front and blue waves on the back. He held it in his hand and bowed.
There is actually a Seven Seas Alliance boss on board?!
As soon as these words came out, the situation immediately changed.
Everyone present was overjoyed.
Those who can take long-sea ships to return to the Seven Seas and Abyss actually have some strength and status, but they appear to be very weak in front of the Seven Seas Alliance.
After all, the Seven Seas Alliance is the real overlord of the Seven Seas now!
But it's different for people in the Seven Seas Alliance. The king and his subordinates, who belong to the same sect, will always give some less favor.
Hearing the gentle explanation from the people present, Lorica on the second floor also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her best friend beside her, smiling through tears.
"Pinglangmen..." The white-faced man frowned, obviously he did not expect to meet the senior management of the Seven Seas Alliance.
He looked at Yuan Zhu on the third floor, "Pinglangmen is in charge of the Bowan Sea area. This Xuanze Sea area is not yours to control, and the leader of the Yuan family is in an important position... Haha, who is not in an important position?"
Yuan Zhu frowned slightly when he heard this, "What do you mean?" his tone became colder.
"I am Chishan Tiger Situ Rang. If you fail the rest of the time, Master Yuan will naturally give you face." Situ Rang said calmly, "But this time it won't work. This time I have a very important task. If I fail, the consequences will be for your noble family Xu."
Even the sect master is unwilling to bear it, haha."
Yuan Zhu's expression changed slightly when he heard the words 'Clan Master Xu'. Clan Master Xu's name was Xu Tianzhou, and he was the master of Pinglang Clan. If he hadn't made a promise in front of his friends, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this muddy water.
Of course, it's not impossible, just lower your attitude a little.
"It turns out to be Brother Situ. Since I have important things to do, I won't make it difficult for you. However, the person Brother Situ is looking for should be a woman. My brother and I will leave first. It shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Yuan Zhu sighed
After taking a breath, he finally said.
"..." Situ Rang's eyes flashed slightly.
"Why, Brother Situ, I've already given you face, and what you're looking for is a woman. Is it possible that you think the people you're looking for are me and my brother?" Yuan Zhu also became angry, flipped his hand, and ordered
He took back the cards and said in a deep voice.
"Master Yuan has overthought it. The person we are searching for this time has an extraordinary status. It would not be surprising even if there is a treasure that can change the form..." Situ Rang's voice was low, and his tone gave people a sense of depression.
Lin Mo frowned again.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhu also frowned and looked at the person below.
"So, there's nothing to talk about?"
"Talk?" Situ Rang suddenly smiled, "I came here to conduct a search on the orders of Lord Didaqi, the deputy chief of the Black Seahorse clan. Do you think you, Yuan Zhu, are qualified to talk to me?"
As soon as the words "Black Seahorse Clan" and "Didaqi" came out, Yuan Zhu was stunned and didn't even know what to say.
He had no idea that a search mission would involve the life of the deputy chief of the Black Seahorse clan.
You must know that in the Seven Seas Alliance, Pinglangmen and Chishanhu are considered upper-level forces and have a certain say.
But the real top layer belongs to the sea clan under the abyss.
The Black Seahorse clan is the real big clan among the Haiyuan Hai clan...
Following Yuan Zhu's silence, the atmosphere on the Golden Elephant became even more depressing.
