Bai Xiaowen shook his head and pretended to be profound as he said, "People can only see the benefits in front of them, but ignore the hidden dangers."
Seeing Bai Xiaowen act so pretentious, Julian immediately lost interest in the conversation. He stood up, excused himself, and walked away.
Originally, Captain Julienne thought that Bai Xiaowen was a scholar and was more or less interested in talking to him, but now he realized that he was ridiculously wrong. This guy was obviously a quack, and the kind that was ignorant and incompetent.
Soon, all the sailors on the Forward knew about Bai Xiaowen's prophecy. Some were skeptical, but most of them were just as skeptical as Captain Julienne.
Until nightfall, the Forward continued to travel normally and did not encounter any danger. This time, those who were skeptical completely dispelled their doubts, and what replaced it was contempt for Bai Xiaowen, the quack.
During dinner, Captain Julienne met Bai Xiaowen again.
"Mr. Dior, I wonder what you 'saw' this time?" Captain Julienne asked half-jokingly.
Bai Xiaowen was a little embarrassed, but on the surface, he still pretended to be serious. "I saw the dark sea churning, and the demons will come riding the sharp arrows in the sea."
"…" Captain Julienne shook his head and was completely speechless.
Suddenly, the ship trembled.
Immediately after, the sound of 'duang duang duang duang' rang out continuously. The Forward was shaken to the point that the plates and wine glasses on the table fell to the ground. It was a mess. Exclamations rose one after another.
Captain Julienne's expression changed. "Silence! What's going on! "
A sailor rushed in in a panic. "Captain! Captain, it's not good, it's looters! There are so many looters … "
Captain Julienne turned pale with fright and rushed out of the cabin door with his command knife. The other sailors also rushed out, and the White Phoenix team followed behind.
The rain was still pouring, and on the dark sea, a long and narrow assault boat was embedded in the side of the Forward. The sound of collision just now was obviously coming from there. Not far away, there were even more Assault Boats charging over, cutting through the waves.
On the assault boats, squads of strange-looking creatures were waving all kinds of weapons and shouting crazily.
On the assault boat that had already docked, more than a dozen monsters had already jumped onto the deck of the Advance.
The general shape of these monsters was similar to humans, but there were many small differences. Some had fish gills, some had octopus-like tentacles on their chins, and some had fish scales covering half of their faces …
Bai Xiaowen casually used [Insight] on a particularly thick monster.
[Vogata Slave Warrior (Elite Level 8)]
[Race: Humanoid/Murloc]
[Attributes: Strength 52, Agility 25, Constitution 33, Spirit 20]
[Skill 1: Harpoon Pierce through an enemy, dealing piercing damage, knocking them back and inflicting heavy bleeding. If the target hits an obstacle while being repelled, it will be immobilized.]
[Skill 2: Murloc Transformation. Passive. Able to breathe underwater. Swimming speed increased by 30%. Hit rate and dodge rate increased by 15% in water combat.]
[Skill 3: Knock on an enemy with less than 25 HP. The target must pass a Constitution/Willpower Test. Otherwise, the target will be stunned for a long time.]
[Skill 4: Vogata War Mark Level 2. Obtained 300 extra HP.]
There were also elite-level monsters on the ship, but most of them were normal.
From the number of monsters, there were more than a hundred of them on the assault boats. There were still more assault boats coming to support them. The total number was unknown.
What about the sailors on the Advance? There were only a few dozen of them. Only the chief officer and those with positions were elites. The bottom-level sailors were all normal. Although Captain Julienne was the leader, from his attributes and skills, he was probably the most mediocre kind of leader.
In this encounter, if Bai Xiaowen's team did not make a move, the Advance would most likely lose.
Julienne suppressed the shock in his heart. Looking at the long but powerful assault boats, he suddenly realized what Bai Xiaowen meant by "arrows in the sea". A bitter smile appeared on his face.
But there was no use in regretting it now. Julienne pulled out his sword and shouted, "Fight!"
A layer of buff light appeared on all the sailors. Even the four members of the White Phoenix team received buffs. This was Julienne's combat skill, Inspire. It increased the attack power of allies, but the duration was relatively short, only 30 seconds.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. This Inspire skill was just a drop in the bucket. It was useless.
"What should we do?" Li Shuyi asked softly.
"Let's retract our Psionic Force Field and observe the situation. There are so many raiders, but there's not even a leader. It's not realistic, "Bai Xiaowen said.
A giant fountain seemed to have appeared on the seabed in front of them. The sea level rose by a few meters, and the gurgling seawater spread in all directions.
"What's that?"
The sailors were a little scared and confused.
Julienne suddenly thought of a legend. His face turned pale again. He leaned on his sword and muttered, "Specter Ship! It's over … "
A worn-out mast covered in seaweed reached out of the sea, followed by a curled sail, and then the side of the ship …
With a splash, a large ship rose from the sea. Standing at the bow of the ship was a sturdy Naga. He flicked his tongue and hissed, "Capture them all! The tribe needs a lot of manpower … Kill anyone who dares to resist! "
When Bai Xiaowen first heard the words "Specter Ship", he thought it was the Nagerfal. But after taking a closer look, he calmed down.
The bow of the ship was a giant snake. It was very different from the Medusa on the Nagerfal. It seemed to be an imitation.
Although the way it appeared was very scary, considering that the Nagas were a deep-sea tribe, diving was not a big deal …
Seeing the appearance of the "Specter Ship", the sailors lost their fighting spirit. They were all cut down and then knocked unconscious by the "Knock" skill of the Vogatan slave warrior. Some even threw down their weapons and squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads. Then, they were tied up with ropes.
Bai Xiaowen looked carefully. After the slave warrior knocked down the sailors, he took out something like a conch shell from his waist and blew it hard. Then, a bubble the size of a human head floated over and covered the unconscious sailor's head.
Then, the unconscious sailor was thrown into the sea. Under the sea, there seemed to be a pair of hands reaching over and dragging the unconscious sailor to the bottom of the sea.
"Xiaowen, do you want to fight? The monster is about to attack, "Li Shuyi said.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said, "No need, we surrender …" He put away the Winter Wand and the Spellbook of Ravings. Then, he signaled everyone to put away their weapons.
