662: Chapter 662: One Thing Overcos Another Thing 662: Chapter 662: One Thing Overcos Another Thing The situation was extrely dangerous, the most severe yet.
Gu Fan and the others almost had their cargo ship touch the sea’s surface.
Grasping the railing tightly, they were narrowly saved from plunging into the sea.
As they neared the water’s surface, Gu Fan was able to see a Wandering Sea Ghost smiling at him from under the sea, as if looking forward to him falling into the water.
“You’ve got to be kidding !” Gu Fan held on to the railing with all the strength he could muster.
Du Jun couldn’t hold on anymore and was on the verge of falling.
Quick-thinking Gu Fan managed to grab Du Jun’s arm with one hand, preventing him from falling into the ocean.
However, Du Jun’s legs had already plunged into the sea water and a Wandering Sea Ghost, seeing this, was instantly thrilled and grabbed Du Jun’s legs, attempting to pull him entirely into the water.
Yet, at that instance, the ship flipped back upright, causing Du Jun’s legs to be pulled out of the water, and to their surprise, the Wandering Sea Ghost was pulled out as well.
With a piercing scream, the mont the greedy Wandering Sea Ghost erged from the water, it disintegrated into ashes.
Despite disposing of a Wandering Sea Ghost, Gu Fan and his group had no ti to celebrate.
The ship rocked violently from side to side.
If this persisted, everyone would be drained of their energy.
That was when Lin Xi appeared.
Seeing the Giant Squid exposed as the ship thrashed about, she knew her opportunity had co.
Lin Xi quickly dashed forward, pouring all the flammable oil she had onto the Giant Squid before casting a spell, igniting the flas and setting it on fire.
At the sa ti, a tentacle lashed out, sending Lin Xi flying into the air.
Lin Xi spun several tis in the sky, becoming dizzy with a rumbling noise in her head.
She then felt herself sinking towards the sea.
Just in the nick of ti, Lin Xi gathered her strength and managed to stop herself from falling.
She was inches away from the sea, and looking down, she was shocked to find multiple Wandering Sea Ghosts waiting underwater for her.
“Oh my God!” Lin Xi patted her chest to calm herself down, just in ti to dodge another tentacle attack.
The fire rapidly spread across the Giant Squid.
Eventually, it could no longer endure the heat and swiftly let go of the ship, diving into the deep sea.
After a few more shakes, the ship finally stabilized, but everyone was disoriented and unable to stand up straight.
Yet, they could still hear the terrified screams around them – cries of the pirates.
Gu Fan didn’t pay attention to the fate of the pirates.
He slapped his head a few tis, “Is everyone okay?
Let know.
Lu Yi…”
“I’m here, I’m here!” Lu Yi responded, almost falling down as she spoke.
Su Hui, Ouyang Jin, and Du Jun were also present, each calling out their nas.
But there was still no response from Gu Ling and Xiaohu, making Gu Fan worried.
He rembered that Gu Ling and Xiaohu were in the cabin when the attack began so he decided to go and check on them.
Lin Xi ca over, holding onto Gu Fan’s arm, suggesting he rest while she looked for Gu Ling and Xiaohu.
But Gu Fan resisted, insisting that as their brother, it was his responsibility to find and protect them.
At that mont, Gu Ling and Xiaohu ran out from the cabin.
Seeing that everyone was safe, they both sighed in relief.
Noticing Gu Fan’s unsteady steps, Gu Ling ran over to him, “Big brother, are you okay?
Are you hurt?”
“There’s a bit of pain, but most importantly I’m feeling dizzy.” Seeing that Gu Ling was unhard, Gu Fan was finally relieved that he barely avoided collapsing.
Not just Gu Fan, but even Su Hui who had undergone rigorous training.
Even the ship’s captain and crew used to battling storms were exhausted, and to add to the heartbreak, one crew mber was missing.
Gu Fan felt guilty for failing the captain, but now was not the ti for self-reproach.
He asked Lin Xi for support; he needed to check the condition of the pirates.
The screams had stopped, the pirates had all hidden in the cabins, and in their place, were skydiving sea eagles that snatched up the sea serpents one after another.
The way they swooped collectively was like a volley of arrows whistling as they flew.
Wherever they went, not a single sea serpent was left behind.
Faced with their natural predator, the sea serpents quickly escaped.
However, many of them did not make it back to the water in ti and were eaten by the eagles.
Watching the countless shadows of eagles soar and swoop in the sky, and the sea serpents that they all found hard to fight against being easily hunted, Gu Fan couldn’t help but marvel at nature’s way of creating a predator for every creature.
Lu Yi was puzzled, “Where did these sea eagles suddenly co from?
They arrived at the perfect ti, saving the pirates.”
Lin Xi replied, “This is a kind of summoning magic, just like Lisa summoning sea serpents and Giant Squids.
So people among the pirates can perform this kind of magic.”
Upon hearing this, everyone imdiately thought of Shennv Xuanhui.
She was the only one capable of this.
Jie beca worried, “What if they summon sothing else to deal with us, what will we do?”
“No need to worry.
Generally speaking, it’s impressive for one person to be able to summon one type of creature.
It’s incredibly rare to be able to summon two like Lisa,” Lin Xi stated, all the while eyeing the circling sea eagles in the sky, “Though I’m unsure of our situation, we may very likely be the next targets of these sea eagles.”
“Oh…” Everyone looked up at the sea eagles flying high, their trajectory seeming to head towards them.
They all beca imdiately anxious.
However, the sea eagles never attacked, only putting Gu Fan, Lin Xi, Su Hui and the others on edge before flying away, causing everyone to heave a sigh of relief.
“Really, they scared us on purpose,” Lu Yi grumbled, but she didn’t dare say it too loudly, fearing that they might hear and decide to attack for real.
Gu Fan looked longingly at the boss’s ship, not a single one of them had been attacked.
“Alright, we’re not out of danger yet, the enemy is still here.
Everyone, stay alert,” Su Hui had begun to act, picking up guns from the ground and distributing them to Gu Fan and Ouyang Jin.
During the chaos, most of their weapons had been tossed about, with only three remaining in the cabin.
“My God, three guns against more than one thousand five hundred pirates, do we have enough bullets?” Lu Yi wasn’t very optimistic.
Seeing the Pirate Alliance ships closing in, the others couldn’t help but gasp in astonishnt.
“A way, a way, I have to find a way to hold on.” Gu Fan looked into the sky, then at the ti.
The sense of urgency made him anxious.
