Droplets of blood trickled down the tip of his spear. That gypsy guard ferociously tried to retract his spear, only to discover that his weapon seemed to have been embedded into a boulder, unable to budge an inch. When he raised his head, he saw Sheyan's eyes that seemed to be burning with raging flames!
Witnessing their boss arriving without a hitch, Brother Black heaved a long sigh of relief. The feeling of having someone blocking his path was truly great … … .thus, he relaxed his mind and boldly unleashed his volley of arrows. With Sheyan blocking the front, the two gypsy guardians continued their relentless assault. Instead, it was as though they had slammed into a wall, as they were forcibly rebounded back.
Under Mogensha's wanton bombardment, he swiftly summoned two viperwolves. Gnawing and biting, they pounced in a frenzied assault, while simultaneously sharing the burden of Mogensha. Not long after, the two viperwolves were slain, and a pale-blue key was successfully dropped.
The final expressionless gypsy knight clutched his throat as he slumped to the ground. Then, he lowered his head and shut his eyes. The two gypsy knights simultaneously slumped to the ground, as they felt pain all over their bodies. At the same time, a sensation of surviving a calamity welled up within them. Mogensha glanced at Sheyan's blind eye, and laughed bitterly with a hoarse voice.
"Dammit boss. If attacking this camp wasn't an 'A' difficulty storyline, I would've swallowed all my bullets!"
Sheyan laid face up on the ground. At this moment, he could feel the searing pain of being gouged by that damnable freak. He didn't even wish to move his fingers, yet he gritted his teeth and retrieved a bottle of rum. Using alcohol to wash his blackened wounds, he squeezed out the venomous blood within. If not for contestants not being able to leave scars after healing, Sheyan's face would've been disfigured. After treating a large portion of his wounds, Sheyan gazed at the pitch-black night sky and sighed.
"That woman can actually execute a straight flush! Indeed, she's worthy of being the next chief candidate for Jiejie. If I knew she was so troublesome and crazy, I definitely wouldn't have touched her. However, our current mission difficulty has been raised to 'B +'. This storyline is classified as a hidden storyline, and should indeed be an 'A' difficulty. Back then, I had been rather careless after entering this world. "
After resting for a while, the duo felt their physical strength gradually recovering. Then, they once again crept towards the gypsy camp where the Baladine Bloodsail was being forged. As the duo cautiously approached, they instantly discovered a new group of gypsy believers had gathered within the camp.
However, compared to their previous solemn and harmonious state, these gypsies appeared chaotic and clamorous. Some were trying their best to maintain order, while others were yelling and snatching items from various tents.
Towards the end, the two sides actually started shouting and cursing loudly. Then, they even started shoving and fighting. Sheyan could even see some believers attempting to carry away the incomplete Baladine Bloodsail. After Sheyan utilized his' Captain's plundering ability to observe, the surface of the Baladine Bloodsail was emitting a dull golden radiance!
Sheyan and Mogensha glanced at each other, and roughly deduced that this group of gypsies should be the reinforcements that had retreated in defeat. Therefore, Reef should've successfully seized the ship. If not, how could this group of gypsies display such a scene of monkeys scattering when the tree falls? Sheyan and Mogensha were both individuals with abundant combat experience. Sheyan gestured towards the Baladine Bloodsail, and Mogensha immediately nodded in acknowledgement. Then, he retrieved his' Wasp 'pistol and took aim.
When Mogensha opened fire, Sheyan leapt forward and shouted loudly.
"Everyone charge! Get rid of those damned gypsies! "
These gypsies were already birds that were startled by the twang of a bow, and now, internal strife broke out. Once they heard that those pirates were still pursuing them with the intention of exterminating them, their courage was completely drained away!
As for Brother Black, who was secretly sniping from the back, after taking down two of the leaders, he switched to his AK and opened fire. His incessant gunshots and hail of bullets cleverly misled the gypsies, who had never seen an automatic or semi-automatic rifle before, into thinking that an entire squad of musketeers was firing at them. In addition, Sheyan had leapt out and viciously chopped down several of them. The cruel reality dripping with blood was displayed before their eyes, causing them to scatter like birds and beasts!
Noteworthily, those diehard loyalists actually attempted to flee with the Baladine Bloodsail. How could such a blatant act of snatching food from the tiger's mouth possibly succeed? Sheyan and Mogensha immediately focused their firepower on those loyal and devoted diehards! Furthermore, the Baladine Bloodsail appeared to be rather heavy, requiring at least 5-6 burly males to carry it. Escaping with it definitely wasn't an easy task. Hence, after hastily dragging it for several dozen metres, the last gypsy who was dragging it with all his might was shot down by Brother Black. Then, the ferocious Baladine Bloodsail was hastily tossed aside.
Furthermore, wherever the Baladine Bloodsail touched, the vegetation would rapidly wither. The originally fertile and moist soil would rapidly dry and harden, before finally transforming into a lifeless sandy land. One could imagine the ferocious aura of the Baladine Bloodsail.
At this moment, Sheyan suddenly discovered an object sparkling on the ground. He immediately attempted to retrieve it, but to no avail. Evidently, it wasn't an object that a contestant could use. After pondering carefully, Sheyan attempted to use the 'Captain Plunder' mode to retrieve it, and obtained it. In the end, he discovered its description: [Mysterious incomplete crystalline toe. Usage unknown.]
Looking at this object, Sheyan instantly recalled. It should've been when he was facing off against that terrifying colossal sculpture, where he forcefully chopped it down from the top of the sculpture! At present, when he touched this incomplete crystalline toe, it appeared as soft as plasticine.
All of a sudden, this object strangely contorted, as though it was being summoned. It contorted with all its might, as though it would evaporate at any moment. Sheyan's heart jolted as he immediately grabbed it and stored it into his nightmare imprint's personal storage.
Yet even after being stored into the party's personal storage, this object remained rather disobedient. It squirmed incessantly, and only calmed down after a brief moment. Finally, a large portion of it transformed into a dull glow. It appeared exceedingly gentle, but at the bottom, a bean-sized black foreign object was deposited.
As it turns out, this incomplete crystalline toe originally possessed a tiny fragment of the soul of the totemic demon beast sculpture. Within the same dimension, that fragment of soul was able to interact with the soul of the main body. The previous anomaly was due to Jiejie urging the main body of the sacrificial demon beast, attempting to summon this fragment back.
However, when this fragment was stored into the party's personal storage, it was in reality transported to another dimension. The soul connection between the two was severed! Even someone as formidable as Little Lord Fokke couldn't break through the dimension's obstruction, not to mention Queen Jiejie.
After the two were forcibly severed, it was akin to a person's kidney, brain, liver, spleen and other organs being cut off from blood flow. The soul fragment on the crystalline toe instantly withered and condensed into a black residue. Then, the essence absorbed by the toe transformed into its source and floated up, forming that dull glow.
At this moment, Reef and the rest finally rushed over to assist Sheyan and the rest. Reef, Blacksail and the rest were riddled with scars. Even the lookout Ol 'Seadog's face was slashed by a blade! Dripping with blood, one could tell the intensity of the battle to seize the ship.
Initially, the reinforcements assumed that the battle on their side was rather arduous. Yet after witnessing Sheyan's body riddled with cuts and bruises, with one of his eyes gouged out, they realized the intensity of the battle Sheyan and Blacksail had experienced wasn't inferior to theirs. After being greatly astonished, they couldn't help lamenting about the perilous battle Sheyan and Blacksail had faced.
The casualty rate of this battle was exceedingly high. Although they were survivors of a calamity, the morale of the pirates was exceptionally high. When the wily old foxes like Ol 'Seadog caught sight of Sheyan, he couldn't help but exclaim with tears brimming in his eyes.
"Boss, we've obtained a fine ship!"
Carpenter Spike was incomparably emotional as he waved his cutlass and exclaimed.
"That ship is so sturdy it wouldn't sink even if it were to descend into the depths of hell. Those gypsies actually used it as a transport ship and a fishing ship. Oh my god! I can almost hear the agonizing fate of this ship. Now ~ ~ ~ it's time for us to liberate its violence!!! "
Spike could be said to be an authority in this aspect. Once his words were uttered, even the tormented pirates cheered in delight. Sheyan couldn't help but impatiently desire to view it. Hence, he instructed his men to wrap the Baladine Bloodsail with a cloth, isolating it from the fiendish aura within before carrying it away. Then, he boarded the newly acquired 5-masted flagship.
When Sheyan neared the seaside, he could already see a colossal shadow anchored on the surface of the sea from afar. Its masts were ramrod straight like spears, and its sails didn't move in the slightest. Looking from afar, it appeared as though a colossal fortress was guarding the coast, as it emitted a majestic and dignified grandeur.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that although this ship was named as a five-masted ship, in terms of size and grandeur, it far surpassed an ordinary five-masted ship. It was almost comparable to a seven-masted large warship. In terms of external appearance, this ship's bow and stern were strangely square-shaped. The ram that should have been present was nowhere to be seen. Unlike other ships, the hull of this ship was slightly larger beneath the waterline. Anchored on the surface of the sea, it was stable and steady like a weight on a scale. It was so proper that it appeared as though no storm or waves could topple it. (To be continued.)
