Negotiating with pirates was an impossible thing to achieve in the first place.
No matter how humble Chief Steward Zhou was, the response he got was always mockery and ridicule.
No matter how hard Chief Steward Zhou tried to hold back, he knew that these pirates were indeed stubborn. A life-and-death battle was inevitable.
"Since you don't give face to the Sea Defying Gang, it seems that you're determined to fight to the death." Chief Steward Zhou's tone turned cold, and he no longer swallowed his pride.
"Hahaha, after talking nonsense for so long, did you only realize this now?" That pirate leader laughed wantonly.
Qin Yi and Lu Yu were not in the mood to listen to the two sides bicker.
The two had already left the hall on the first floor and arrived at the spacious area on the third floor. Their field of vision also became wider. Looking around, the two's expressions suddenly became extremely ugly.
The sea on all sides had been completely surrounded by ships of all sizes. The seawater below them was dark, as if it was nurturing some evil.
Qin Yi looked for a moment, and said with a livid expression, "Brother Lu, the trouble this time may be much bigger than we imagined."
Lu Yu was startled. "Even if there are thousands of people, we still have a chance to break through, right? These pirates are just a motley crew. They're not well-trained. I don't believe that once the battle starts, we won't have any chance at all. "
Qin Yi said, "Look at the bottom of the sea. It's dark, but there are undercurrents surging. I'm afraid that what we have to face is not just these pirates, but even more terrifying underwater ferocious beasts. Although there are many pirates, they're so confident that it's not just because of their manpower. "
Lu Yu's expression turned cold. "What do you mean? There are ferocious beasts lurking under the sea? These pirates can actually command ferocious beasts? "
"I'm not sure, but I have a very bad feeling."
Since his debut, Qin Yi's intuition had been very accurate. Every time there was a crisis, he would always have an inexplicable premonition.
This premonition had been proven time and time again.
Lu Yu said hatefully, "As expected, what you fear will happen."
Qin Yi nodded silently, his eyes fixed on the sea. It was as if a great terror was hidden beneath the calm surface of the sea.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we absolutely can't resign ourselves to death. Brother Qin, now that things have come to this, we must help each other and work together. "
Qin Yi did not object to this.
In such a situation, it was better to have a partner than to be alone.
"Brother Lu, be careful. The battle is about to begin, "Qin Yi reminded.
"I don't understand. Since these pirates have already surrounded the ship, why are they still dawdling? Don't they know the principle of winning by surprise? A surprise attack at this time would definitely be more effective. Won't you be giving the people on this ship time to prepare? "
As an alchemist, Lu Yu would indeed have fewer opportunities to participate in battles. Regarding these matters, he was not as knowledgeable as Qin Yi.
"Brother Lu, it's not that they don't want to launch a sneak attack, it's just that they can't. In this sea, it was very difficult to sneak up on a ship, and it was even more difficult to surround it. After all, there were also many spies in front and behind this ship. Hence, I'm guessing that this apparent encirclement might just be a feint. The real danger might be coming from the depths of the sea! "
Qin Yi's tone was extremely solemn.
Lu Yu's expression changed abruptly. "In that case, they haven't launched an attack all this while because the undersea creatures haven't completely formed an encirclement yet?"
Qin Yi's tone was complicated. "Most likely so!"
Lu Yu rubbed his chin with one hand and suddenly revealed a strange expression. "Brother Qin, in that case, how can we sit and wait for the undersea fierce beasts to completely form an encirclement?"
"What brilliant idea does Brother Lu have?" Qin Yi asked in surprise.
"Strike first and gain the upper hand. Disrupt the other party's deployment. Only in the chaos can we find an opportunity," Lu Yu said.
How could Qin Yi not know the principle of winning in chaos? But facing the undersea creatures, Qin Yi really could not find any way for a while.
After all, he did not have any experience fighting with undersea fierce beasts before boarding this ship.
How to deal with undersea fierce beasts, Qin Yi could be said to have no experience at all.
"Brother Lu, do you have any ideas?" Qin Yi saw Lu Yu's eager appearance and his heart stirred, but he could not resist asking.
Lu Yu chuckled strangely but fished out a jar.
"Brother Qin, just as you know, this Lu is an alchemy master. I usually also have some research on poisons. This bottle of Blood Withering Powder will dissolve upon contact with water and melt upon contact with blood. When it melts, it can melt the flesh and dry up the blood. It's very vicious. Alchemy masters of our generation are usually at a disadvantage in terms of Martial Dao. We need to prepare some self-defense items. "
But Qin Yi was solemn when he heard that. This Martial Dao world indeed could not be underestimated by anyone. This Lu Yu looked like he was also considered an honest person.
He did not expect that he similarly had such a terrifying trump card, a method that made people's hair stand on end.
When Lu Yu saw Qin Yi's reaction, he could not help laughing in spite of himself, "Brother Qin, you wouldn't be worried that I'll use this Blood Withering Powder on you, right?"
But Qin Yi smiled faintly, "Speaking of which, Brother Lu and I have only just met today. If there's a disagreement, whether or not Brother Lu will use this thing to entertain Qin Mo is another matter. "
Lu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "This Lu swears to the heavens that if I have the slightest bit of enmity towards Brother Qin, I'll be struck by lightning."
After swearing the oath, Lu Yu continued, "Moreover, this Blood Withering Powder is used on enemies. I have a request for Brother Qin and can't wait to curry favor with you. How can I possibly have bad intentions? "
Qin Yi chuckled and said, "People in the pugilistic world can't help having some vigilance. Don't think too much about it, Brother Lu. This Blood Withering Powder, I wonder how Brother Lu plans on using it? "
Qin Yi cleverly changed the topic.
Lu Yu walked to the edge unhurriedly and opened that jar, scattering the Blood Withering Powder down in one go.
"The medicinal effects of the Blood Withering Powder are extremely domineering, able to pollute the waters within a radius of several li. As long as there are underwater ferocious beasts below, as long as they slightly ingest some seawater melted by the Blood Withering Powder, the toxicity of the Blood Withering Powder will definitely seep into their flesh and blood. "
"Heh heh, Brother Qin, let's just wait to watch a good show."
After doing all this, Lu Yu's expression was somewhat smug.
Qin Yi was just about to speak when his feet suddenly staggered with a loud bang. The entire hull seemed to have been fiercely struck by some powerful force.
Boom!
Following that, continuous sounds of impact rose and fell.
The entire hull of the fortress ship started swaying along with it. For such an enormous ship to be able to sway, it was enough to see how terrifying the impact force was.
