At the same time, about thirty kilometers behind the Starfish, a wooden two-masted medium-sized merchant ship was sailing slowly on the sea.
At first glance, this ship seems to be no different from an ordinary merchant ship. The deck is filled with various wooden boxes, and large bundles of hemp ropes tightly tie these boxes together to prevent them from falling into the sea during the bumps.
But if someone looks closely, they will find many irregularities.
For example, there are no crew members walking back and forth on the deck of the ship, and no one is manning the lookout post on the mast.
Moreover, the birds circling on top of the ship's mast are not common seabirds at all, but large crows with blood-red eyes!
Accompanied by the shrill cries of crows, some of the more mind-numbing details of the merchant ship were revealed in the sun.
Fresh blood was spattered everywhere on the deck edges and hatches, and there were gouge marks on some cabin doors.
One of the sail ropes of the main mast was cut off, and a strange figure in black robes stood beside the steering wheel at the stern.
Under the sea surface around the mall, large groups of scavenging fish, ghost-headed sharks, death eels and other bloodthirsty fish gathered into a black swarm, following around the ship and frantically scrambling for some scraps of meat.
The blocks were thrown out of the porthole at the stern of the ship.
"How about it? He didn't notice it, did he?"
At this time, another figure in black robe walked out of the cabin and stood beside the man in black robe at the helm and asked.
"Don't worry, from such a long distance, even if he really has some unknown detective skills, he probably won't be able to detect them. My little darlings are flying so high that even Amazon's internal vision can't catch them.
See their presence!"
The man in black robe at the helm replied confidently.
"Very good, we will arrive at the Razor Strait in a short while, and that is where we will start. We must be careful before that, and we must not let him discover us!
The other two ships sent by the Demon God are already waiting at the entrance of the strait. Once they enter the strait, our arrangement and safekeeping will make it impossible for them to come back!"
"Don't worry, don't worry. We are a merchant ship. There are so many 'cargoes' on the deck and we are so far away. No matter how fast we are, we can't get up quickly, so the other party will not regard us as a threat, hahaha!"
The men in black robes at the helm glanced pointedly at the "cargo boxes" on the deck. Only they knew that the goods in those boxes had long been thrown into the sea.
All the boxes piled on the deck now are empty boxes, and with the ability of the adult next to him, as long as they want, the ship can catch up with the target in front of them in minutes!
"That's good. You continue to stare here. I'll go down and help them 'dispose' of those 'waste'. Can't these damn fish stay away and eat? This scene shouldn't appear around a merchant ship."
The man in black robes who emerged from the cabin nodded first, then cursed fiercely, and then returned to the cabin with a gloomy face.
Soon, another large pile of bloody pieces of meat was thrown into the sea from the rear porthole of the ship.
The school of scavenging fish in the sea suddenly started boiling like a pot boiling.
These fish fought for flesh and bones with large mouthfuls, and some pieces of meat that had not been completely minced were pushed out of the water during their fight - that was half of a human face with a frightened expression, his head
He was split in half from the middle, with half a tattered captain's hat on his head...
In the distance, more than thirty kilometers away, Xue Hua's face suddenly turned ugly when he saw this scene through the perspective of the monitoring king insect.
Obviously, there was a rebellion with widely varying combat capabilities on this ship. The "guests" on the ship eliminated the owner and usurped control of the ship.
This incident obviously happened after the merchant ship left the port of Kersh. The ship behaved like a merchant ship before, without any flaws at all.
Obviously, the group of evil consorts on the ship used the identity of the original ship owner to provide them with cover. Only after Xue Hua got used to having them behind him did they reveal their ferocious fangs.
I have to say that they made a good plan and chose a good time.
Just a few days ago, when the Starfish was about to arrive at Kersh Port, Abathur sent a message to Xue Hua, telling him that its plan to transform Leviathan could begin.
Xue Hua agreed to its proposal and let it immediately begin the transformation of Leviathan.
During the upgrade process of Leviathan, Xue Hua would disconnect with it and Isa mentally and share mental information with the main hive. Therefore, Isa was unable to immediately remind Xue Hua that something was wrong with the merchant ship behind.
Fortunately, Xue Hua had just switched the perspective of the Supervisory King Insect and wanted to observe the appearance of the Razor Strait from above, but he accidentally discovered the sea ship that had been following them.
But the most important thing is that now that Leviathan is temporarily blocked, Abathur's transformation will take some time, which means that he has no way to recruit troops from Leviathan to protect himself.
He had just contacted Zagara in the main hive mind, and it told Xue Hua that the nearest reinforcements from the insect swarm came from the barrier mountains of the western continent. The underground of the barrier mountains there had been basically dug through by the insect swarm.
If the air force is dispatched urgently from there, it will only take less than an hour to rush to his current location.
According to the information Xue Hua just obtained from the ship, those guys are still some time away from taking action - they are planning to attack him in the Razor Strait, and I have to say that the location chosen is also very good.
Ships cannot turn there. If they get some explosives to blow up part of the cliffs on both sides of the strait and block the channel, it will really create a situation of absolute destruction.
But now that they know the plan, it is undoubtedly a bit fanciful for them to implement it smoothly.
Xue Hua first arranged for the surveillance king insects to search for the other two ambush ships at the entrance to the Razor Strait. Then he personally went to the captain's room to find the captain and asked him not to enter the Razor Strait, but to continue moving forward along the current route for the time being.
Although the captain didn't know what kind of medicine Xue Hua was selling in his gourd, he was the boss who paid for it, so of course he, a part-time worker, had no choice but to do what the boss said.
So he immediately conveyed Xue Hua's intention to the helmsman and navigator, and also slowed down the speed again at Xue Hua's request.
News soon came from the Overwatch King Insect that they had found the two small ships hidden behind the rocks near the entrance of the strait and camouflaged with a large number of branches.
The reason why Xue Hua was so cautious was because on the ship that was following them all the way from the rear, the monitoring king insect discovered a powerful psychic disturbance signal. It was a quasi-legendary powerhouse who had not yet come into contact with the original 90
