When the explosion sounded on the ship, Lu Pingping didn't react for a moment.
Are you being attacked?
Sitting on the deck chair, enjoying the sunshine and the peaceful way of drinking, I raised my head and took off my sunglasses, and then I "saw" the simple wooden ships with black flags not far away.
There are too many types of "fish heads" and "human heads" in this world, and naturally there is no cultural symbol of skulls. A simple black flag is enough to prove one's identity.
"Pirates? Why are there tribal pirates here?"
"Where are the soldiers? Which pirate family are you from, please fight back?!"
"Damn, do they know there's something wrong with our communication?"
In Lu Ping'an's eyes, chaos was spreading. The screaming passengers on the deck were eager to vent their emotions. The sailors who rushed to the deck to operate the naval guns, and the seamen's faces were also full of anxiety.
It seems that this exceeded everyone's expectations?
"Why didn't anyone report it? Well, forget it, you can't force it when you are away from home."
Only then did Lu Ping'an realize that he was not on the safe and comfortable Redemption, and there were no stable escorts and patrols of rangers on all sides of the ship.
Since there is no "eye" or "patrol hunter", it is normal for it to be attacked by pirates and sea beasts.
"boom!"
There was also the sound of a wooden board being penetrated downstairs, but even without looking at it with his "eyes", Lu Ping'an knew that it was the sound of a chained harpoon being penetrated.
To the left and right of the passenger ship, several single-person speedboats launched attacks. They dragged the chains and tied them to the artificial floating islands. These chains had blocked the ship's maneuverability.
"Did they wait under the water beforehand?"
The classic ocean ant lion tactic is to bury itself underwater and wait for you to pass by, then surface directly to pounce.
Preparation is actually very simple. Expanding underwater patrols and detecting it in advance is enough. But obviously, this passenger ship did not do these things well.
Or worse, the scout knight is unplugged prematurely by the pirates.
"Boom!"
This time, what exploded was the engine part at the rear of the ship. When Lu Pingping turned around, he saw the pirates throwing improvised bombs and incendiary bottles.
As a result, several floors of the passenger ship became more lively, and some people began to jump into the sea and run away.
"Why"
Lu Pingan sighed helplessly, closed the book and prepared to go downstairs.
This journey has just begun, and he is not interested in swimming to the next island yet.
However, he soon became restless
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Huge noises and huge water columns suddenly erupted in the sea not far away.
Those wooden pirate ships were violently dragged into the sea before they could even get close.
At this moment, Meiyuge raised his "walking stick" and seemed to be chanting something.
But in this world, a shipwreck does not mean the end.
"Spin."
And Meiyuge's attack did not stop.
Following the guidance of her wooden staff, whirlpools appeared on the water's surface, dragging those fishmen and long-hand tribesmen who tried to swim over directly into them.
This scene reminded Lu Pingan how he taught this girl "not long ago".
However, her attacks are not as "gentle" as Lu Ping'an's training.
None of the sea tribesmen who were sucked into the whirlpool swam out. Large areas of blood red appeared on the sea. Lu Pingan noticed that a large number of "ice crystal blades" appeared in the whirlpool.
He opened his eyes and saw the "water elemental creatures" in the ocean.
These beings are dragging and hunting the pirates among them, and they seemed to have penetrated the pirate ships before.
How did you do it?
Lu Pingping looked up at the sky, and saw that the drizzle that had been falling had become a bit heavier again.
“The changes are really huge”
Lu Ping'an also stayed with Meiyuge for a long time before he noticed the ever-present light rain in the air.
The rain was very small, so small that I couldn't even feel it, but because it was so small, it covered a wide area, covering at least one or two kilometers in the surrounding area.
This is no longer an ordinary "long-term power", this is her "domain", a world that belongs to her.
Forget about this level of superpower intensity, this kind of "mentality" that wants to completely control the surrounding kilometers, compared to the innocent girl in the past, the change is completely reborn.
And while he was thinking about what happened to this girl, the pirates who had successfully raided before also rushed onto the ship.
They didn't know that their companions had suffered serious injuries, and they were getting spears and swords to force the passengers to hand over their belongings. Seeing their proficiency, this should be considered a daily routine.
Lu Pingan sighed, sat back and lowered his head to read.
"boom!"
The pirates rushed onto the deck, and the sailors couldn't stop them. They fired warning shots as soon as they came up.
This made Lu Ping'an take another look at their home-made firearms. It looked like a flintlock gun with a revolver?
“Take all the money and goods”
Halfway through what the bandit leader said, there was no follow-up.
He was frozen into a lump of ice right in front of Lu Ping'an.
Being caught in the rain at such a close distance, and then being turned directly into ice, it was impossible for a mortal to resist.
When the other pirates realized something was wrong, they quickly ran away. Some tried to jump off the ship, while others turned around and ran away, but each of them either turned into ice cubes or turned into "vases" with ice blades inserted into them.
Meiyuge demonstrated a simple and efficient way of killing. These pirates, who were not even extraordinary beings, were not even qualified to look directly at her.
Lu Ping'an didn't stop these obviously third-rate pirates, so the information was probably meaningless.
A catastrophe was passed so easily, and Lu Ping'an didn't even have a chance to take action.
Ten minutes later, the captain came up personally to thank them, upgraded the two of them to a cabin, and also gave them some drinks and meals.
Looking at the captain of the Changshou clan who kept thanking him, Lu Pingan asked a few questions casually.
"Are you like this in normal times? If we weren't here."
"No, the gods that many crew members believe in have no response. Without divine grace, their strength has dropped sharply. There are also professional mercenaries who usually follow the ship because they are not in good condition and have not followed."
At this time, Lu Ping'an and Mei Yuge looked at each other, and they simultaneously realized a problem that had been ignored before.
"Divine grace", or the large-scale simple superpowers given by gods to the mortal world, are extremely rare and expensive in other worlds. After all, this consumes the power of gods and quasi-gods.
In this world, it has become extremely cheap and common.
Obviously, this is not only the power of gods, but also the power of the rules of the world.
But now, when the world's consciousness has suffered a heavy blow, I am afraid that the first thing to go wrong is the original gift system of the gods.
"Ordinary long-hand tribe and fish-men warriors are ordinary people who have not embarked on an extraordinary path. Most of them actually rely on divine grace."
Meiyuge whispered in Lu Pingan's ear. This kind of "common sense" made Lu Pingan frown.
The zero-level and first-level low-level professionals may be physically stronger than ordinary people, and if they have one or two more first-level professional abilities, they may not be as good as those who have been trained in actual combat and have several offensive abilities.
An ordinary warrior with low-level divine grace.
This kind of "cheap" and easy-to-use mortal warriors are easy to mass produce and have extremely low barriers to entry, so they naturally occupy the low-end market.
"This is a bit troublesome."
Lu Ping'an rubbed his eyebrows, I'm afraid this will really affect the entire world, and it is definitely not a good thing for our low-level combat power to weaken.
"Hopefully, they will have dealt with it long ago."
