The Void Ocean.
Under the gloomy sky, raindrops fell densely. Under the strong wind, huge waves rolled up on the surface of the sea.
In such bad weather, eight dark green merchant ships were breaking through the waves. On the tall masts hung the "Water Lion" flag that belonged to the Western Continent Chamber of Commerce, fluttering in the wind.
The anchor, which was connected to the long iron chain, collided with the hull of the ship from time to time, producing dull sounds.
Even if the waves were crashing and the gales were blowing, the eight merchant ships were still as steady as a rock. No matter how strong the wind and the waves were, they didn't budge. The bottom of the boat that came into contact with the surface of the sea rippled and radiated in all directions. It was firmly connected to the surface of the water and steadily moved forward in the raging waves.
On the deck of the leading warship, an old man dressed in the clothes of an "elder" of the Western Continent Chamber of Commerce stroked his long beard as he looked at the surging sea. He seemed to be in a daze.
As neighbors, how could they not know about the plundering incident that happened in the Kuilong Ocean recently?
Their trip to the Kuilong Ocean this time was to transport supplies for the Smoke Dragon Trade Association.
As one of the subordinate merchant guilds of the Underworld Merchant Guild Alliance, they were protected by the Underworld Merchant Guild and had to pay a huge protection fee every year. At the same time, after joining the Underworld Merchant Guild, they were also obligated to provide material support to the warring merchant groups.
On the list of Chambers of Commerce that needed to provide material support, their Western Continent Chamber of Commerce was impressively on it.
There were a total of eight ships. One was loaded with Sea Snake Wine, two were loaded with food, and the rest were loaded with spirit materials.
The first two didn't matter, but five merchant ships filled with spiritual materials, even the Western Continent's Chamber of Commerce with a rich foundation felt the pinch.
Originally, they only needed to provide one ship of wine, two ships of food, and one ship of spirit materials as a guarantee.
But just yesterday, a member of the Smoke Dragon Merchant Association personally came and told them that they wanted four ships of spiritual materials!
This undoubtedly made the upper echelons of the Western Continent Chamber of Commerce angry, this was clearly breaking the rules of material support, demanding an exorbitant price.
For this reason, the higher-ups of the West Continent Chamber of Commerce held a special meeting to decide if they should send this batch of resources to the Kuilong Ocean.
They had two choices. One was to report the Smoke Dragon Trade Union's actions to the Netherworld Trade Union's headquarters and let them punish the Smoke Dragon Trade Union for their excessive actions.
The second was to swallow the insult and choose to bear with it. According to what the Smoke Dragon Merchant Association said, they would provide four ships of spiritual materials!
But the higher ups of the Western Continent Commerce did not dare gamble.
As a war merchant, the Smoke Dragon Merchant Association was one of the core merchant associations of the Netherworld Merchant Association Alliance.
They also did not know if the Smoke Dragon Merchant Guild had anyone in the upper echelons of the Underworld Merchant Guild, so they could not afford to gamble. If they failed, then the Western Continent Merchant Guild's fate would definitely be extremely miserable.
The Underworld Merchant Guild gave them the protection to trade in the neighboring seas without being plundered, but in reality, the internal structure was also very complicated. A medium-sized merchant guild like theirs had no authority in the internal structure.
Even though they had transported four ships of spirit materials this time, the upper echelons of the Western Continent Chamber of Commerce were still somewhat worried.
They were afraid that the greedy Smoke Dragon Merchant Association would make other excessive demands and rely on their strength to exploit their Western Continent Merchant Association step by step.
But they had no other choice. This time, the elder personally led the team and brought an extra ship of spiritual materials. They were also going to Black Reef Island to sound out the situation there and even try to curry favor with the Smoke Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
Since there was no way to resist an expert, the only way was to curry favor with him.
As sea merchants, they did not need integrity. They only needed profits and survival!
The storm today was very heavy. The deep seabed was like a giant beast from the abyss, spying on everyone on the ship.
"Kacha!"
A bolt of lightning struck down, causing a huge wave on the surface of the water. Then, a whirlpool formed on the surface of the water and slowly began to expand.
Seeing this scene, the Western Continent Chamber of Commerce's elder's face was as calm as an ancient well. He did not even give any orders and just let the merchant ship go straight towards the whirlpool.
The moment the whirlpool and the ship came into contact, the hull of the ship let out a dull sound of metal clashing. Then, a gap slowly opened at the bow of the ship, and a bronze ram appeared.
"Boom!"
A purple slurry of energy suddenly appeared from the ram and smashed into the whirlpool. The sea instantly pressed down, completely disrupting the newly formed whirlpool.
The waves that were set off immediately fell towards the deck of the merchant ship.
At this moment, a dark green protective layer suddenly formed above the hull of the ship, bouncing all the waves away.
The Underworld Sea was filled with danger. To "Mo Lang", this scene was just a small matter.
Shaking his head, he cast his gaze towards the front that was covered by the rolling dark clouds.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be countless black spots appearing in the distance.
He immediately took out the telescope device from his pocket and began to check.
It was indeed a fleet. No, it should be several fleets. From the arrangement of these warships and ships, it could be seen that they did not seem to be from the same group.
What puzzled Mo Lang was that this fleet seemed to be sailing straight towards him.
He was not afraid of being robbed. After all, the Smoke Dragon Trade Association was now in the Kuilong Ocean. No one would dare to cause trouble in the nearby waters. Moreover, they knew that there were no raiding groups in the Void Ocean at all.
But somehow, he felt a little uneasy.
…
In the distance, a few waves of player pirate groups that were coming along the transportation route were secretly competing with each other and moving forward at a faster speed.
One of the pirate groups that was dressed up extremely flashily was on the leading Demonic God Warship. Fatty wiped the rain off his face and looked at the man standing at the bow of the ship.
"Boss, this rain is too heavy. Remember to upgrade the warship's rain shield next time!"
Upon hearing that, An Sheng also wiped the rain off his face and said, "Who said we need a rain shield?
"Who was the one who said that we don't need rain shields? That's for sissy warships. What our Demonic God Warship needs is the wild energy that comes into contact with nature!"
After wiping the rain off his face again, Fatty had a constipated expression on his face.
"Maybe nature is too wild this time … It's a little too much for me …"
This warship was the treasure of the Demonic God Society. However, they never leveled up according to the forum's guide. They leveled up whatever they liked. They suffered a lot during the leveling process. For example, they vomited for a whole day when they gave up on the stability …
However, the members of the Demonic God Society never regretted it. If one had to ask why, it was because they were young and stubborn.
"Stop talking. There's a target in front. I wonder if they are sea merchants!" Ah Qi, who was at the side, said.
Upon hearing that, An Sheng immediately raised the telescope in his hand and began to aim ahead.
After checking, An Sheng quickly opened the photo album function and selected a picture to enlarge.
There was a flag in the picture. On the flag was a blue water lion roaring with its head raised.
Seeing this scene, An Sheng was extremely excited.
"Damn, it's the Western Continent Trade Association. The big fish is here. The strategic transportation route map is really awesome!"
"Boss, do you want to say it in the regional voice chat?" Fatty asked.
"Go ahead. Let's move as a group. Without them, we probably won't be able to take down these eight ships!"
"Sure!" Fatty grinned.
Immediately, Fatty's roar sounded in the voice chat.
"Pay attention, everyone. There's a merchant ship from the Western Continent Trade Association ahead. The target is right in front of us. It's the same transportation route marked on the map!"
Due to the stormy weather, visibility was poor. Upon hearing this, all the players nearby were shocked. They hurriedly went to the bow of the ship and began to observe.
As they got closer and closer, after confirming that the target was the Western Continent Trade Association's merchant ship, the smiles on the players' faces gradually became more and more perverted.
Although they came according to the transportation route map provided by the "strategic section", they didn't think they would definitely encounter a merchant ship. After all, there wouldn't be a merchant ship passing through the route they chose at all times.
However, they didn't expect their luck to be so good as to encounter one just like that.
As the distance between the two sides shortened, the players' shouts rang out in the voice chat channel.
Following that, black flags were raised one after another. On the flags were pictures of ferocious exotic beasts drawn by the players themselves to indicate their identity.
Mo Lang, who saw this scene from afar, couldn't help but be stunned.
What surprised him even more was that even though they could already see each other, several fleets were still heading towards them.
At this moment, Mo Lang realized that something was wrong.
He hurriedly turned his head and said to his subordinate standing behind him.
"Quickly reveal your identity!"
When the subordinate heard this, he immediately came to the mast and pulled the rope. Suddenly, the water lion on the flag seemed to come to life. It turned into a giant blue lion and let out a loud roar towards the front.
The Water Lion Flag and the Water Lion Ship Spirit were the symbols of the Western Continent Trade Association. Mo Lang believed that the other party would obediently give way after knowing their identity.
But this time, he was obviously wrong.
Not only did the players' pirate fleet not retreat, but they also accelerated and approached.
When the distance between the two sides was less than a nautical mile, the players did not hesitate and decisively summoned the Warship Spirit.
"Roar!" The roar of the giant beast was deafening, rising and falling.
Looking from afar, illusory spiritual monsters appeared one after another. Under the indistinct contrast of lightning and dark clouds, it was full of a sense of oppression.
Amidst the howling wind, the appearance of the players' legion shocked Mo Lang. He had already realized that he had encountered a group of marauders.
Under the rule of the Sea King, there had never been a marauder in the Void Ocean.
Even after the end of the Sea King's rule, the Void Ocean was still very peaceful. Mo Lang couldn't imagine that a group of marauders would appear during the safest period when the Smoke Dragon came to investigate the incident.
It was unbelievable. Weren't they afraid of death?!
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. At this moment, Mo Lang had already shouted in the opposite direction.
However, due to the stormy weather and the direction against the wind, the players' fleet was already close by when the ship turned around.
At this moment, the players could already clearly see the members of the Western Continent Trade Association standing on the deck.
"Ah ya ya ya ya ~"
"Brother, that's not how the pirates shout. That's Tarzan of the Apes!"
"Then how do the pirates shout?"
"You need a one-eyed mask and make a fierce expression. It's best if you hold a bottle of rum in your hand. That's the perfect image!"
"That's too complicated. Just rob them!"
…
On the leading Demonic God Warship, An Sheng, Fatty, and the others pulled the rope excitedly.
"Boss, will it work?"
"I've seen it in the movies. We'll just swing over like this and jump onto their ship. That's definitely the right choice!"
At this moment, their Demonic God Warship brushed shoulders with a merchant ship. An Sheng immediately shouted,
"Jump!"
Instantly, the youths of the Demonic God Society leaped up and swung toward the merchant ship by relying on the rope hanging on the mast.
Obviously, there was a huge difference between reality and the movies.
A dark green barrier suddenly appeared on the merchant ship, and the members of the Demonic God Society were instantly bounced off. Their bodies were thrown far away, and without exception, all of them fell into the water.
The Demonic God Society was annihilated!
