Sheyan's chest heaved up and down violently, as he bent down and supported his knees with his hands while gasping for breath. Although he knew the might of 'Ambition' was immense, but this was the first time he used it, he didn't expect it to be this powerful! He abruptly stood up. Not far away, the two saber-wielding contestants were staring at him with disbelief. Obviously, they had witnessed that crazy scene. Sheyan sneered as he once again pulled out 'Ambition', assuming a stance of aiming at them!
The two contestants obviously didn't know that the interval between 'Ambition's' attack was an entire minute. They only saw Bowen, who was much stronger than them, getting half his neck severed by that terrifying gunshot! The fear in his heart could be imagined. When he saw the black muzzle aimed at him, he immediately screamed in terror and turned around to escape. Sheyan didn't intend to pursue them immediately, leaning against a nearby pillar to reattach his dislocated right arm.
After killing Bowen, Sheyan had already carefully considered his next course of action. From the current string of clues, he could deduce that the enemy party obviously had an expert who planned before taking action. Moreover, this guy must have formulated a plan to escape before the ambush. Therefore, even if he hurried over to call for reinforcements, it would be a waste of time. Hence, after a slight hesitation, Sheyan decided to follow the direction of the two escaping contestants! Under such circumstances, the chances of this group of people ambushing him wasn't high.
Although he had delayed for some time, and the agility of the two contestants were much higher than Sheyan's, Sheyan was still able to barely keep up with their fleeing footsteps. While pursuing, a huge question surfaced in Sheyan's mind. That was, weren't these people afraid of being exposed?
They were currently at sea, no matter how big the Flying Dutchman was, no matter how well these contestants concealed themselves, they could only escape for a moment, but not forever. Once they made their move, there would only be two outcomes: Either they killed him, or they failed to kill him.
If the first scenario happened, then after calling for reinforcements, Sheyan had the confidence to ferret them out within 2 hours. He believed that it wouldn't be too difficult for the third officer to find them.
Even if they killed Sheyan, the death of the Flying Dutchman's third officer would definitely alarm Davy Jones. Of course he wouldn't mourn for Sheyan, but he would assume that his control over the ship had a fatal flaw. Similarly, he would initiate an incomparably bloody purge!
Hence, the only explanation was that this group of people only needed to drag on for 2 hours, then they would be able to complete their mission and return to the nightmare realm! Perhaps there was another far-fetched conjecture: They would be able to eliminate all threats within 2 hours ….. one must note, the threats included the entire Flying Dutchman, from Davy Jones to the lowest level of the pirates!
Sheyan's train of thought gradually became clearer.
"This group of people didn't expect a contestant like me to suddenly appear on this ship. Therefore, one of the contestants, perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps under the instructions of others, wanted to probe my background … … .this was the reason why someone came to spy on me while I was sleeping. Unfortunately, his actions were discovered. Following that, their leader deduced that the newly promoted me would very likely conduct a thorough search of the ship. This action would cause a disturbance to their upcoming plans. Therefore, to prevent my actions, he dispatched people to silence me. "
Because he had to secretly track them without being discovered by those two pirates, Sheyan tailed them from afar, not daring to get too close. As he passed through a passageway near the porthole, he suddenly understood the reason why the pirates on the ship would suddenly disappear. Because 2 nautical miles away on the legendary pirate ship Queen Anne's Revenge, a frightening scene was unfolding.
That ship's sails and rope ladders seemed to have a life of their own as they frantically rolled up. It looked like the entire pirate ship had transformed into a gigantic monster filled with tentacles. Moreover, the pirate leader Blackbeard was currently standing on the watchtower of the main mast, laughing maniacally, as he brandished his silver magic sword! His subordinates were kneeling on the deck in fear and trepidation, as though they were prostrating themselves to their king!
Naturally, this scene had deeply shaken the pirates of the Flying Dutchman, to the extent that they tossed aside their work and flocked to the deck, dumbstruck as they witnessed this astonishing scene. At this moment, Sheyan felt an absurd misconception of creating history. This was because the magic sword in Blackbeard's hand, was coincidentally completed with his assistance. The scabbard that he provided originally belonged to Ammand, should have a similar function as a charger! Without the matching scabbard, the magic sword in Blackbeard's hand was at most a slightly sharper weapon. But with the scabbard as a charger, it was indeed worthy of the reputation of the 'King of Side Boarding Battles'!
As Sheyan pondered, he continued to pursue the two in front of him. Nevertheless, he didn't receive any professional training in this aspect, and the two individuals seemed to be intentionally laying down a puzzle. Thus, after descending another level of the ship, Sheyan unexpectedly lost track of them. After circling around the cargo hold several times, he decided to give up. Suddenly, a voice drifted in from the cargo hold 30 metres away. Sheyan immediately hid behind a pillar at the side of the corridor. To avoid alerting the enemy, he could only stealthily spy from the side.
Immediately, he witnessed a group of pirates escorting a noble dressed youth as they hurriedly walked forward. That youth looked like a storyline character. Not knowing why, that youth gave Sheyan a rather familiar feeling. Furthermore, that group of pirates shockingly included the two contestants he was pursuing. Obviously, they were most likely a party!
At this moment, Sheyan naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to rush out and curse at the main culprit. Then, his little universe would erupt and fight against N alone. The only result of doing so was to be beaten to a pulp. At this moment, he really wanted to use his insight ability to scan the youth, but just as he was about to use it, there was a vague sense of danger lingering in his heart that couldn't be dispelled. This was undoubtedly the effect of his powerful 14 points of perceptive sensing, warning him. This faint sense of danger represented two things. One was that after using perceptive sensing, a very small danger would occur. The other … was that within this group of people, there was someone whose perceptive sensing was close to or even higher than his own, completely diluting the sense of danger brought about by his perceptive sensing!
Sheyan pressed his face against the pillar by the side. His face emitted the unique texture of wood, and he even smelled a faint fishy smell of seawater. He watched as the group of people disappeared around the corner. Finally, he dismissed the idea of using 'Insight'. The reason was simple.
Risks and rewards weren't proportional.
Very obviously, the objective of this party wasn't Sheyan. Pursuing him was merely to avoid risks. Sheyan only used 'Insight' to satisfy his own curiosity. But once he was discovered, then he would be plunged into an extremely perilous situation! Risking one's life for an unfathomable curiosity, this wasn't something a rational person would do.
After waiting for the group of people to leave, Sheyan didn't attempt to use his shoddy tracking technique to pursue them. Instead, he walked towards the cabin they exited from. This sort of cargo hold was relatively common on pirate ships. Usually, it was used to store heavy goods with a strong odour. For example, salted fish, water buckets, ballast etc. Even a pirate ship would have such a cargo hold. Although they didn't transport goods, they still needed to carry them when they robbed merchant ships. With these cargo holds, they would naturally be able to rob merchant ships of their cargo and earn the most profit.
What appeared in front of Sheyan was an empty cargo hold. There was still a strong lingering smell of tobacco. Inside, there were only a few familiar looking luxurious chests. Sheyan frowned as he walked over to take a look. These were the few treasure chests that he and Scarface Harry brought out from Tortuga castle. The Fokke family's emblem was clearly discernible. Of course, the chests were completely empty, not even a penny was left behind. Without a doubt, it was looted clean by those pirates.
After seeing the emblem on the chests, Sheyan's originally scattered thoughts were instantly connected. He suddenly recalled why he felt that the young man walking in the middle looked so familiar. Because his facial features were shockingly similar to the owner of Tortuga port, Little Lord Fokke! Although he didn't have the icy cold aura of Little Lord Fokke, but the dignity of a superior and the elegance of a nobleman was beginning to take shape. Obviously, even if that young man wasn't Little Lord Fokke's son, he was definitely his direct blood relative.
The heir of the Fokke family's younger generation, a group of contestants from the future world. They boarded an absolutely powerful legendary pirate ship … … .these three gathered in the stormy Caribbean sea, what was their relationship? Although the identity of the young man was already clear to Sheyan, but a bigger mystery was revealed in Sheyan's heart. What were they trying to do?! Could it be that this party was strong enough to directly challenge the 'Sea Demon' Davy Jones? If that was the case, then why did they bring along a direct blood relative of the Fokke family?
