Chapter 1353: Chapter 1339: Surrender Chapter 1353: Chapter 1339: Surrender Ling Li glanced towards Ma Jun.
Ma Jun placed the map in front of him and said, “They left four hours ago. They’re probably in this area; they couldn’t have gotten too far. Now, with three ships at our disposal, if we act quickly, we might be able to find them. If that little runt is really on their ship, even if we don’t get the Dragon Soul from them or obtain the Wolf King’s Ring, it would still be reason to celebrate.”
Ling Li was currently near this sea area. Since he and Su Zhanze separated on Island of the Wicked, Su Zhanze had been closely following the Dragon Soul, while he stayed behind to fight with Zun Yu for another two days, without any news from Su Zhanze yet.
“Good, send out the Winged Dragons right away to locate that ship quickly, and don’t let them escape,” Ling Li contemplated additional plans.
Ma Jun nodded and said, “Don’t worry, they couldn’t have gone very far. As long as they’re in this sea area, we can definitely find them.”
“Alright, get going then.”
For Ling Li, it would be wonderful to actually obtain the Wolf King’s Ring. The pressure would be much less, but at the sa ti, a problem presented itself—if he couldn’t secure the Wolf King’s Ring and it fell into the hands of Longhun, it would be a disaster. Who could combat Longhun with both the Sacred Spirit Stone and the Wolf King’s Ring then?
He figured he’d better find a place to hide quickly.
There was no ti to lose; he had to secure the Wolf King’s Ring and couldn’t let it fall into soone else’s hands.
Clearly, it was a matter of life and death; he couldn’t let that ship get away.
But he was surprised—how did that kid end up on the Dragon Slaying Clan’s ship? It was baffling.
“We should each take a room,” Ye Chen said.
“Afraid I’ll eat you?” Guo Yuyun asked.
Ye Chen said, “Why do I have to sleep on the floor while you take the bed?” The ground was cold and very uncomfortable.
“You’re welco to join up here; I haven’t refused,” Guo Yuyun said.
“And you’re not even shy to say such things. How could I face Song Xizhi later?”
Guo Yuyun retorted annoyingly, “I’ve already made everything clear with Song Xizhi.”
“I’ve made everything clear with you as well.”
“You got married to Nangong Yan, and nothing really happened?” She recalled so things she knew.
“How could nothing have happened? Everything that you can imagine has happened,” he said.
She was sure he was boasting; how could he possibly have done such things? Guo Yuyun scoffed.
“Still don’t believe it?”
“She’s already dead, even if sothing did happen between you, it doesn’t matter. It’s all in the past,” Guo Yuyun said.
“You really know how to let go. I’m totally impressed.”
“It’s good that we didn’t get married.”
Hearing those words, Ye Chen said, “You’ll definitely regret not marrying Song Xizhi.”
“I won’t regret it at all.”
“Enough, I won’t waste words with you. It’s all nonsense, none of it worth listening to, just a waste of saliva,” Ye Chen said.
“Let’s think about how we’re going to escape!”
“Wait for the shore to co to us!”
“If we reach the shore, we’ll have nowhere to run. We’ll be walking straight into the tiger’s den.”
“So what do you want to do? Surely you don’t expect to capture her now or sleep with her now, and then beco one big happy family?”
“You really are full of nonsense, thinking about such things. I can’t believe you say things like this.”
Understood. I told you from the start, I’m no good, but you just wouldn’t listen, would you? I told you to stay away from , but you clung on, daring to break up with Song Xizhi so confidently. I think only you could do sothing so foolish. I don’t owe you anything. It’s your own affair,” Ye Chen said coldly.
Guo Yuyun was sowhat infuriated.
“There’s nothing fun about believing in fairy tales. They always end up being played by fairy tales,” she said.
The night grew thicker, and who knows how much ti passed—it must have been the fourth watch by then.
Boom Boom…
Suddenly, two loud bangs rang out, followed by the ship shaking violently, as if it was about to collapse.
The noise woke Ye Chen from his sleep.
Guo Yuyun was also startled awake on the bed and called out, “Is that thunder? Is it going to rain?”
“Dragon roar with the thunder?” Ye Chen asked.
Following the loud noises, which sounded like firecrackers, Ye Chen quickly opened the room door and rushed to the corridor, leaving his shoes behind. Two large groups of Winged Dragons were battling overhead, while in the distance, two ships lood into view.
He saw a group of leopard-like monsters swimming towards them.
“Who would have thought the people from Slaughter Island would be so persistent,” Ye Chen could hardly believe they hadn’t shaken them off yet.
But a subordinate behind him said, “No, not from Slaughter Island, they should be Ling Li’s n.”
“What, the Ling Li following Su Zhanze?”
Guo Yuyun also ran out and said, “Su Zhanze, we are saved.”
“Saved my ass, don’t you rember how we got to Slaughter Island?” Ye Chen asked.
Guo Yuyun hung her head low.
Ye Chen said, “I advise you not to let them know we’re on the ship if we can help it, we might not have to be so ruthless.”
Ye Chen ran straight to the ship’s deck, where ng Xiuluo was already commanding. He saw the two ships approaching quickly.
ng Xiuluo knew this was just the beginning; they had to get rid of them quickly, or else co daylight, more ships would co, and then escape would be even more difficult.
Xiang Yi was just as anxious, “What should we do? If we can’t shake them off, it will be dangerous co daybreak.”
At that mont, ng Xiuluo really wanted to call for help, but he knew the chances were slim.
Guo Yuyun said, “I think you all might as well surrender now, they might be rciful.”
“Are you looking to die?” For ng Xiuluo, surrender was not in her vocabulary, nor had she ever considered it. She yelled, “If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll have you thrown into the dungeon.”
“Hey, I’m telling the truth. With just over a hundred of us, how can we stand a chance against their two ships’ worth of n? Even if they’re the worst, they won’t kill us,” Guo Yuyun thought, hoping that surrender might spare them a cruel end.
ng Xiuluo asked, “What area are we in?”
Xiang Yi pointed out their location to her.
ng Xiuluo said, “We head into the Dark Sea Territory.”
Xiang Yi could hardly believe it and murmured, “What, we’re entering the Dark Sea Territory?” She knew the dangers of the Dark Sea Territory all too well; the Dragon Clan had lost more than half their people to death after entering in search of the Sea Demon. It was a domain of death.
The Dark Sea Territory was close by, and escaping the trailing ships would be almost as hard as reaching heaven, close to impossible. The only option was to take a gamble and enter the Dark Sea Territory, where perhaps a chance for escape might present itself. “With our current manpower, we can hardly shake them off. Entering the Dark Sea Territory might give us a chance,” she said.
Ye Chen had a bad feeling, especially seeing the girl’s terrified expression. He asked, “The Dark Sea Territory is dangerous, right?”
Xiang Yi replied, “Of course, it’s dangerous. It’s full of monsters, and survival there is a slim chance at best. The Dragon Soul once brought the Sea Demon out from that darkness.”
“What? A slim chance of survival? Then we should talk it over and surrender. I believe they won’t be cruel enough to kill all of us,” he said.
“Shut up with your nonsense. We will absolutely not surrender,” Xiang Yi said.
“Hey, isn’t that Ling Li one of your Dragon Slaying Clan?”
ng Xiuluo yelled, “If you keep this up, I swear I’ll have you thrown into the sea right now.” She’d made up her mind. “Take them to the Dark Sea Territory,” she ordered, and started walking forward.
Ye Chen muttered, “The girl is crazy, truly crazy.”
Guo Yuyun asked, “What do we do now?”
“How should I know what to do? The ship is theirs,” he replied.
“Let’s take her hostage, just like she did with ,” Guo Yuyun whispered to Ye Chen.
But before she could finish her sentence, several monsters dropped from the sky directly at them, spitting out Fireballs before they could even reach them.
Ye Chen struck with a palm, releasing two streaks of lightning that split the Fireballs and sent them plumting into the sea. A Winged Dragon swooped in with its claws like an eagle spreading its wings, ready to snatch Guo Yuyun up, but luckily, Ye Chen kicked her out of the way, saving her from becoming the dragon’s prey.
The deck was left with two gaping holes.
“I say we surrender. Ling Li will probably find a way to make us jump into the sea one by one,” said Ye Chen grimly, suspecting that no one would even know if they died then.
ng Xiuluo was well aware of the complexity and abundance of monsters in the Dark Sea Territory, often shrouded in fog. Now, they had no choice but to risk everything, believing there might be many others nearby seeking them. She told Xiang Yi, “We can only gamble.”
After the last shipwreck, they had few people left. Facing two approaching ships, they hardly had the strength to retaliate; escape was their only option. Fortunately, the Dark Sea Territory was not too far, and there seed to be a good chance.
Knowing ng Xiuluo had made up her mind, Xiang Yi said, “Alright, let’s take that bet.”
ng Xiuluo gave a slight nod.
