Chapter 470/*unedited*/
Aarrgh!!!
Help!
No!!!
Shouts from the wars.h.i.+ps can be heard from the mist-covered gorge. Then this would be followed by yellow explosions as the dragons would attack the s.h.i.+ps that have b.u.mped unto them. The chaotic situation seems hopeless as the dragons are now flying everywhere and even fighting against each other.
In this chaotic situation, the wars.h.i.+p where s.h.i.+n Jiao belongs can now be seen in a crevice at the side of the cliff wall. With quick thinking, Fifi Lao was able to maneuver their s.h.i.+p to safety and prevent further damage to the s.h.i.+p.
Thought its main hull is a bit damaged and has traces of burnt from a stray fire breath of a dragon; the s.h.i.+p itself is still intact and in good condition.
It didn"t take long before the crying of the people from the other s.h.i.+ps died down and the roaring of the dragons also stopped. It seems that the misty gorge is already peaceful. However, everyone in the wars.h.i.+p did not relax.
They are all on their toes while observing their surroundings.
"Mistress, we should send out a communication signal to the other s.h.i.+ps. At least that way we can be sure that they are fine." One of the personnel manning the s.h.i.+p said beside Fifi.
"Okay, I"ll send a message to my father and brother. I too am worried about what happened to them." She said as she takes out a small bead.
She carefully imbued it with her spiritual Qi and then said.
"Father, I am okay, how about you? Where are you now?"
She then stops and waited for a moment. When the bead didn"t s.h.i.+ne anymore, she knew that her message was sent to another bead with the same array inside it.
However, what she didn"t know is that someone has already intercepted her message and has created a communication block to the entire s.h.i.+p. Standing with the other mercenaries on the side, s.h.i.+n Jiao smirked while feeling the Qi in the array.
"Haha… Let me see how you guys feel when you"re all in despair." He muttered.
He truly abhors these people, and he has been waiting for a chance to take them all on one go. Who would have thought that a situation like this would appear and help him? If s.h.i.+n Jiao acted alone and tried to infiltrate the s.h.i.+ps and make them explode, then there is a chance that he would be found out by the nascent realm leader of this mercenary group.
But with the dragons rampaging and the mercenaries dying in all the chaos, s.h.i.+n Jiao could not ask for a more favorable outcome. He has already sensed all the wars.h.i.+ps being destroyed by the rampaging dragons along with the death of the mercenaries in them.
He is not sure though if the master of these mercenary group has died, but he didn"t care anymore. At least this way he has gotten revenge for the people inside the city. Well, not everything as there are still around 100 or something mercenary cultivators in the s.h.i.+p he is in.
Fifi waited for a while now and no one answered her message. And with this it only means something, her father and brother is lost inside the mist with the destruction of their wars.h.i.+p. This knowledge made her eyes slowly turned teary.
She knew that she didn"t have a perfect family. In fact in the siege of the Dongxi city, she saw the terrible things that the mercenaries did to those people. This is also one of the reasons why her view on men is too low as she thought that men are just animals.
"Mistress… did the master reply?" the man beside her asked.
Fifi shook her head in response and she now had a dejected look on her face. She didn"t know what to say…
Right at this moment, the man beside her signaled the person on the other side and two others to go out. The three people with them all went out of the room.
"Mistress, we should go now and not stay in this place. Since the master is gone…"
"No! Don"t say that! My father is not yet dead!" Fifi suddenly shouted.
With her shout, everyone on the s.h.i.+p stops from what they are doing. As cultivators, they have sharp senses and have heard what Fifi said.
If it is true that the Lao clan master is dead, then it is time for them to leave this d.a.m.ned place. Why would that little woman hinder them? However, some of the crew had a flash of glint in their eyes. Some of them immediately ran towards the lower decks where the quarter of Fifi is.
As a young mistress of the clan, she always has around 3 to 5 handmade serving her. Since the patriarch seems to be gone, these people want to curry favor with Fifi Lao as she might be the next master of the clan. If they can get on her good side, then their status would be higher.
These men immediately line up to guard the door of her quarters.
Meanwhile, the man named Beaver suddenly smiled.
"I wonder how that rich young mistress would taste like. She is a pampered young lady, right? I haven"t tasted a pampered young lady before… Oh, wait a minute… I already have… Hahaha… silly me I"m already forgetful. Anyway, if she truly is a pampered young lady, then she would taste exquisite. Hehe…" the lewd words coming from Beaver"s mouth made s.h.i.+n Jiao want to punch him to death.
How could this person be talking about these kinds of things even until now? Well, it"s not that s.h.i.+n Jiao could not understand the man"s reaction. The man just saw the rampaging of the dragons and lived to tell the tale. His powerlessness at that time made him now think of his lower body after escaping death.
"I"m sure you"re not the only one thinking about it right at this moment." s.h.i.+n Jiao said with a smirk as he can see what is happening inside the captain"s cabin.
Unknown to Fifi, the mercenary beside her is already looking at her with unconcealed desire in his eyes. And s.h.i.+n Jiao can see it all clearly. However, the captain of the wars.h.i.+p suddenly barges into the room.
"Young miss we should be going now… I think the fog is making interference with your communication bead. If we can get out of here, then we might be able to contact your father." the captain said while looking at the tall mercenary standing beside Fifi who had a pondering look on her face.
The captain could not help but shook his head. The young miss is truly naïve. If the situation is true and that her father is really dead, then who will stop these monsters that the Lao family has created from devouring her whole? Hence as one of the loyal followers of her clan, he can only do this much for her.
"Yes! You are right, captain! We should go out of this place first." She said.
The captain immediately sent out a message to prepare to depart. And their wars.h.i.+p began crossing the thick mist once again.
Using their spiritual sense, they began to plot the course and coordinate and the s.h.i.+p started moving. However, not long after the s.h.i.+p moved s.h.i.+n Jiao felt another wave of energy coming.
This time is felt closer and the shockwave even tilted the s.h.i.+p a little to one side.
"What was that?"
"That"s the place where the energy is coming from… that"s the reason the dragons went berserk."
"d.a.m.n it! Can we take another way?"
"Stupid! What another way, this is a ravine, there is only a straight path!…"
The mercenaries began arguing as the feeling of worry and anxiety can be felt in their voices.
"Haha, At least these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds can also feel fear… I guess they are still human after all..." s.h.i.+n Jiao thought while jeering as he watches from the side at the trembling and scared mercenaries.
"Hmm… There are four figures that are fighting?" s.h.i.+n Jiao muttered as he saw four people at the edge of his absolute sense.
These four people are currently in an act of exchanging blows against each other… three of them are women and only one man. However, when he saw their cultivation level, s.h.i.+n Jiao was a bit taken aback. This is because these people are very powerful.
With his cultivation level, he would be squashed like an ant by these individuals. As they have already reached the peak of the cultivation level, the saint immortal.
But what baffled s.h.i.+n Jiao right at this moment is that although these figures are very strong and powerful, they are actually not moving. It was as if they are trapped by something and their bodies are petrified turning them into living statues.
And the powerful blasts that are being sent out are actually coming from the rhythmic beating of their hearts. With only the sound of their beating heart, it is already strong enough to affect an area within more than 2 kilometers in radius.
Even s.h.i.+n Jiao"s absolute sense is affected every time he makes contact with the sound from their slowly beating hearts.
And one thing that s.h.i.+n Jiao discover is the object in the middle of the four powerful cultivators. It is actually a black sphere that would also glow along with the sound of the heartbeat.
"These mercenaries are too unlucky… really unlucky." s.h.i.+n Jiao muttered as he saw every mercenary already lying on the ground.
Even the captain is also unconscious and only he is awake and carefully looking at the scene in front of his eyes.
Suddenly, s.h.i.+n Jiao heard a voice that made him feel a bit surprised.
"Young man… please… please end our eternal suffering! I can feel your presence and your uniqueness… If you help us end our suffering we will reward you of your service… Please… Please help us!" said the voice in a pleading tone.
When s.h.i.+n Jiao heard this, he felt a bit skeptical, but his adventurous heart was ignited.
