#505 - Chapter 504: The Lingyu in Danger
"Understood!"
Zhao Hu in the cockpit responded loudly, and the Spirit Fish continued to sail forward. Looking down from above, the two ships resembled two fish of completely unequal size, slowly approaching each other.
On the Broken Sand, where Huang Lin was, the crew members, all looking fierce and menacing, were armed and crouching on the deck, waiting for the Spirit Fish to approach.
Standing on the watchtower, Huang Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze moving with the Spirit Fish.
Boom boom boom—
The quicksand parted to both sides, and the Spirit Fish finally entered the attack range of the Broken Sand.
"Brother Huang!"
Huang Lin raised his hand: "Wait a little longer, don't rush."
At this time, the people on the Spirit Fish did not know that danger was coming, and were busy with their own affairs, immersed in the joy of returning home.
"This job is really easy. We didn't do anything all day, and we got 100,000 Federal Credits!"
"Ah! I really hope there are such easy jobs every day. If I do it for a year, I can earn 36 million and live the rest of my life happily!"
"Then you can keep dreaming!"
The crew members talked to each other, with happy and satisfied smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere was cheerful.
On the deck, Zhao Jiacheng sat in a wheelchair, his eyes, weathered by the years, reflecting the setting sun.
"Dad, what are you looking at here?" Zhao Hu walked behind him and stood still.
Zhao Jiacheng placed his hands on his knees and said in a hoarse and deep voice: "I was thinking... after this is over, will I still have the chance to watch the sunset on the Sand Sea?"
Zhao Long raised his head, with a puzzled expression: "What's so good about this sunset? Dad, if you like it, I'll bring a camera tomorrow and record a video of the Sand Sea sunset, so you can watch it anytime you want in the future."
Zhao Jiacheng shook his head and chuckled: "No need, the camera can't capture the temperature of the Sand Sea, nor can it capture the smell of the Sand Sea, you..."
Bang bang bang!!!
Blazing flames suddenly engulfed the entire Spirit Fish. Zhao Jiacheng, who was sitting in the wheelchair, fell to the ground with the chair before he could finish his words, and rolled towards the sloping side of the ship.
"Dad!!!"
Zhao Long, who had steadied himself, shouted, grabbed Zhao Jiacheng's arm with quick eyes and hands, and then quickly half-crouched on the ground, resisting the constantly shaking ship.
"Ahhh!!!"
"What's going on!"
"Damn it, we were about to return safely!"
Panicked shouts came from all parts of the Spirit Fish.
"What exactly is going on?"
Zhao Long raised his head in a panic, only to see the Spirit Fish's blue defensive barrier full of cracks, as if it would shatter in the next second.
"It's that ship!" Zhao Jiacheng clenched his fists, filled with regret, regretting that he had not told Zhao Hu to avoid the other ship.
He strained his voice and shouted in the direction of the cockpit: "Zhao Hu, go!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Hu in the cockpit stood up unsteadily and quickly came to the console. Just as he was about to execute the order, a deafening explosion sounded again.
Bang bang bang!
The already precarious defensive barrier shattered the moment the last shell landed, and the terrifying shock wave swept through the Spirit Fish, leaving cracks on the golden hull.
At the same time, the speed of the Spirit Fish surged, but it was all too late.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—
A series of whistling sounds came from the black smoke, and several silver lights flashed past, accompanied by "bang bang bang" sounds, firmly inserted into the hull of the ship. They were sharp-tipped grappling hooks.
As the thick steel cables tightened one by one, the Spirit Fish seemed to be trapped in a quagmire, and its speed dropped to a snail's pace.
Whirr whirr whirr—
The steel cables swayed slightly, transmitting the sound of sliding. The crew members of the Broken Sand used the grappling hooks to come to the Spirit Fish one by one.
"Hahaha, fish, Grandpa has finally waited for you!"
"We waited for you from morning till night, don't disappoint us!"
"Do it, tie them all up and get them to the deck!"
Malicious voices echoed in everyone's ears, and the emotion of fear spread quickly like a plague.
"This is... Sand Leopard's people!"
After Zhao Long saw the appearance of those people clearly, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his blood rushed to his head.
Sand Leopard was the fleet created by Luo Honggang, and the person who broke his father's leg was Luo Honggang!
"Bastard!!!"
Zhao Long stood up unsteadily, grabbed the steel pipe placed aside and was about to step forward, but Zhao Jiacheng, who was lying on the ground, grabbed his ankle tightly.
"Don't act impulsively, go find Bai Dong!"
"Dad, what about you..."
"They won't kill us until they've squeezed us dry. Go!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Long gritted his teeth, and rushed towards the cabin where Li Chenqiu was, carrying the steel pipe.
The crew members who first came to the Spirit Fish were all pathfinders, and their strength was not very strong. They were basically ordinary people or First Realm.
Therefore, Zhao Long did not encounter any obstacles, and took advantage of the chaos to quickly come to the door of the cabin where Li Chenqiu was.
He didn't knock on the door, but kicked the door open with a "bang", and saw Li Chenqiu lying on the ground, as if he was asleep.
"Brother Bai!!!"
Zhao Long rushed to Li Chenqiu and knelt down, shaking his shoulders vigorously, and shouting in a panic: "Brother Bai, what's wrong with you, wake up, our ship is under attack!"
But no matter how he shook him, Li Chenqiu didn't respond at all, as if he was dead. Of course, he wasn't dead, after all, he was still breathing.
"Brother Bai, don't scare me, if you faint, everyone on the ship will be finished!" Zhao Long's face became paler and paler.
The strongest on the Spirit Fish now are his father and Brother Bai, but his father's leg was broken, and his strength is not as good as before. Now he can only rely on Brother Bai, but now the other party seems to have fainted. What should he do?
Zhao Long scratched his head irritably, and in his desperation, he even thought of artificial respiration, but the puckered mouth ultimately failed to land on Li Chenqiu's face.
"If I don't do anything, Brother Bai will definitely be caught on the deck by that group of idiots, and then it will be all over. First... hide him, yes, hide him. If Brother Bai wakes up midway, then there is still a chance!"
After making up his mind, Zhao Long picked up Li Chenqiu from the ground, turned around a few times in the room, and finally ran to the toilet in a panic.
The battle on the ship continued, and gunshots rang out like firecrackers.
At first, under the leadership of Zhao Hu, a Second Realm Mortal Fate cultivator, the two sides were able to fight back and forth, and even had the upper hand at times.
But as the three Third Realm Heavenly Fate cultivators from Huang Lin's side joined the battlefield, the battle ended without any suspense. Everyone except Li Chenqiu and Zhao Long were caught on the deck by Huang Lin and others and surrounded.
"Please, please let me go, my son is still waiting for me to earn money to treat his illness. I can't die now, I'll kowtow to you, don't kill me!"
