Chapter 1253: Chapter 39: The Eerie Ocean Current of Ti-Space Travel
Naval battles aren’t normally fought like this.
The classic tactics taught in the academy involve both sides entering a designated sea area, constantly moving and adjusting formations, seizing the T-position, and then concentrating superior firepower…
But if neither side is taking things seriously, then you can’t apply conventional logic.
The maneuvering tactics of the two Snow Wind ships vividly illustrated what it ans to be “graceful like a dragon.”
They didn’t treat the ships as ships at all, but as if they were flying swords.
In less than ten minutes, both ships disappeared from view, one after the other.
“Should we pursue?”
Wang Yunxiao asked Wei Liuyun softly for his opinion.
“No, stick to our original course,”
Wei Liuyun remained unmoved.
After all, considering the fleet’s overall speed, chasing would be futile.
Furthermore, there’s the concern of getting lost or falling into a trap if we pursue recklessly.
And above all, if our course is correct, we should have already seen land by now.
Yizhou Island is overseas, not across the ocean.
Normally, departing from Yizhou Island, it shouldn’t take a few hours to reach a mainland port.
Yet all around is still pitch black, as if you can’t see your hand in front of your face.
2 AM
The Snow Wind has not shown any signs of returning, and by this ti, Wang Yunxiao had inwardly resigned himself to the fact that she probably wouldn’t co back.
It’s a bit of a pity; he hadn’t had the chance to find out that girl’s identity. She seed like she had quite a story.
“Flying Wolf reports, an unidentified fleet spotted at two o’clock!”
Once again, a report from the Flying Wolf.
Wei Liuyun sat up straight from his seat, took a sip of cold coffee to perk up, and looked at Wang Yunxiao: “Shall we go check it out?”
“Alright!”
When the second Snow Wind appeared earlier, theoretically, Wang Yunxiao could have jumped over to scout the situation, but at that ti, he didn’t expect the other side to flee so decisively, not giving him any ti to board their ship.
Donning the cha, he boarded the Flying Wolf’s deck after a few jumps, took over the binoculars, and looked towards the two o’clock direction.
Indeed, it was an entire fleet, with ships of all sizes and models, all looking particularly… ancient?
Wang Yunxiao rubbed his eyes to ensure he wasn’t mistaken.
They were indeed those old wooden-hull sailing ships.
The other side either hadn’t noticed them or didn’t care at all, approaching at a normal sailing speed.
They even deliberately extinguished their lights, sneaking up with ill intentions.
This is…
Wang Yunxiao whispered to the officer beside him on the Flying Wolf: “Are they pirates?”
“Probably?”
“Wouldn’t normal pirates be afraid when they see a big ship like ours?”
“Who knows, maybe they’re not right in the head.”
“How did they catch up?”
It didn’t matter if they were pirates; Wang Yunxiao was just curious about how they managed to creep up on the fleet with those tattered sails.
After all, we run on fuel here.
This place is just full of surprises every day.
Wang Yunxiao stood silently on the deck, watching as that ancient ship, hundreds of years old, approached the Sea Wave at an incredibly eerie speed, throwing over a dozen flying grappling hooks, with people using Qinggong to swiftly climb aboard.
As soon as they landed, they found themselves surrounded by navy soldiers with guns.
The unexpected visitors were dumbfounded.
“Sothing’s not right here,”
“It didn’t look like this just now?”
One person even stomped the deck forcefully to see if it was truly made of tal.
“Who are you?”
Despite those ragged individuals holding katanas and looking like no good could co of them, given that they spoke Chinese, Wang Yunxiao decided to attempt communication to extract so information.
Unexpectedly, they showed no appreciation, letting out a howl and turning to run.
However, no matter how quick their movents were, they couldn’t outrun bullets; before they could jump ship, they were all shot.
“I’ll go take a look.”
Wang Yunxiao said, donning the cha, lightly pushed with his feet, and jumped over a distance of tens of ters to the other ship.
A crisp crack sounded as the cha crushed the wooden deck at the ship’s bow.
“Waaagh!”
“Chirping noises!”
“What is happening?”
The blood-colored giant descended from the sky, startling everyone on board into a chaotic panic, babbling incoherently.
Wang Yunxiao did not focus on these insignificant characters but turned to look at the Flying Wolf nearby.
Sure enough, from this angle, the real figure of the Flying Wolf could not be seen; it was only vaguely discernible as a ship.
At this mont, the old sailing ship he stood on was in a very bizarre space-ti tunnel.
The ocean current beneath the ship whisked the entire fleet forward rapidly, while the surrounding world beca blurry, as if the speed was so fast that everything distorted.
How to describe this…
Net Path technology.
The last ti Tiann City experienced an intersection of two world lines, Wang Yunxiao used the Net Path connecting the two lines to send the opposite transmigrator back and bring back his own people.
This environnt now made him feel like he had stepped into another Net Path.
With this fleet… calling them a fleet is a bit much; in Wang Yunxiao’s eyes, they were just a large pirate group. Given their technical level, theoretically, they shouldn’t be able to utilize Net Path for cross-dinsional transmission.
After all, this isn’t the Pirate King’s world, where a Captain can eat a Bicara fruit and open infinite hacks.
