Chapter 689: Chapter 361: Sea Monster

"Keep moving forward. If they dare to block our way, sink them!"

Following Li Changhe’s command, the crew members acted in unison.

This ship was originally a marshal’s vessel of a certain kingdom’s navy, equipped with various weapons. The crew members chosen by the guild were all experienced sailors. Although some were not submissive, their naval combat experience was quite rich.

Perhaps it was his experience fighting side by side with the soldiers of the Great Tang that unconsciously gave Li Changhe an air of military authority.

His words carried an undeniable firmness. The crew didn’t show any hesitation.

Sword Ghost, who was behind Li Changhe, slightly changed his expression, becoming even more certain that Li Changhe must be a commander of a powerful country.

"No wonder he has such a heavy Killing Aura. I wonder what country could have raised such a monster." Sword Ghost thought, then immediately directed his team of adventurers to prepare for battle. The mages prepared their spells, the rangers readied their weapons, and the warriors and knights prepared to board.

They were part of the investigation team and were also the guards of Li Changhe and his party. Naturally, they wouldn’t stand idly by at this moment.

Not just them, as soon as the pirates appeared, the whole fleet was filled with the sound of alarm bells. The crew loaded the cannons, mages took up their magic staffs, and warriors prepared to board.

They were all at least Silver Level adventurers with rich combat experience, and they immediately prepared for battle.

He Feng carried several spears on his back and held one in his hand. He walked to the bow of the ship and frowned at the distant ships.

"Just three ships? Is this the pirates’ way of committing suicide?" He Feng asked, "Can’t they see the scale of our fleet?"

Everyone knew that the investigation team was not small-scale, and there were even Shark-class warships among them. Any sane pirate wouldn’t touch such a tough bone.

Wang He, fully armed and ready, said, "Due to the recent elf incident, the elf navy returned to port, and a large number of merchant ships changed their routes. The pirates might have gone crazy with hunger. But don’t underestimate them. They haven’t been wiped out all these years. They are formidable."

"That’s all there is to them," Sword Ghost snorted. His long sword was already unsheathed. "They have only been able to commit crimes in the shelter of the sea. If it were an ordinary merchant ship, it would be fine, but any of our fleets could annihilate them. Since we have encountered them, let’s kill them all!"

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but laugh, startling the crew. The name "Sword Ghost" was indeed well-deserved!

Adventurers were no strangers to pirates. Many teams had taken on the task of escorting merchant ships and had dealt with them frequently. There were blood debts between them.

Regardless of the cheerful depiction of Caribbean pirates, pirates were still pirates; they’d do anything for money and women.

All the crew members were fully prepared for battle, showing no mercy towards the pirates.

However, the pirate ships in the distance were still heading straight towards the fleet.

They showed no sign of slowing down.

Li Changhe furrowed his brow. With his Hawk Eye Magic Eye, he could see even more clearly than the lookout. The faces of the pirates were filled with fear.

It was as if they were being forced to move forward.

Moreover, when the pirates had first been spotted, one of their ships had already been sunk. It couldn’t have been due to infighting, could it?

"Something’s not right. They’re being chased!" Li Changhe sent his black hawk into the sky, where from afar, he saw a huge shadow beneath the sea. It was closely following the pirate ships.

At the same time, a fish fin at least two meters high revealed itself above the water’s surface.

The next second, an enormous black figure burst out from under the water and crashed into a pirate ship. The ship was torn apart like paper, and the pirates screamed as they fell into the water.

It was a giant shark that was over twenty meters long!

"It’s a sea monster!" A crew member cried in terror, "It’s the Demon Tooth Shark!"

"Are you talking about the Demon Tooth Shark that has a nine-star danger rating in transmission?" Wang He’s face turned pale, "I thought it was already extinct? Quick, turn the rudder!"

As the shark leapt above the water, the entire investigation team became somewhat chaotic. Countless crew members screamed in fear, and the adventurers’ faces grew solemn.

The Demon Tooth Shark was almost a legendary monster. Its strength was ordinary, it couldn’t spit fire, and it couldn’t even spit water.

But the danger lay in its size and defensive capabilities.

Its scales could almost mitigate all magic damage, and its physical defense was also strong.

If it were on land, that would be another story; so many adventurers could have killed it.

But this was on the sea, and once the Demon Tooth Shark destroyed the ships, the adventurers would be helpless against a sea monster in the water.

It was recorded that a kingdom once sacrificed an entire fleet to eliminate a Demon Tooth Shark.

Fortunately, hundreds of years ago, a group of Hero-level adventurers hunted down the Demon Tooth Sharks. It took nearly twenty years to kill all of them. They were considered an extinct sea monster.

But even so, the Demon Tooth Shark remained the most feared sea monster among sailors.

Now that it appeared, all the crew members remembered the fear they felt under the control of the Demon Tooth Shark’s legend.

"Quick, get the cannons ready! Drive it away!"

However, Sword Ghost snorted, "What’s there to be afraid of? Cover me! Watch as I cut off its head!"

As he spoke, the blade in his hand shone with a cold light. After all, he was the closest adventurer to the Hero-level, and he wasn’t afraid of the Demon Tooth Shark at all.

"That’s right," Li Changhe smiled, "What’s there to be afraid of?"

He thought it was only a big shark, after all.

With three LV10 players here, this kind of creature was really no match for them.

Moreover... Li Changhe sent the black hawk to fly further away and saw an arrow flashing before the black hawk’s eyes.

Following this was a sharp pain, and the black hawk was eliminated.

Even though the black hawk had flown more than two hundred meters above the sea, it was killed by a single arrow.

"Have they arrived? The assassins." Li Changhe rubbed his eyes.

Sword Ghost and Wang He nearby were both confused, but He Feng nodded silently.

It was bound to happen. The task of escorting Xiao Ye wouldn’t go smoothly. Since there were Blood Clan players assassinating people in the Real World, it was understandable that they would encounter assassin players in this world.

"Did the other party bring in the Demon Tooth Shark to probe our strength?" He Feng pondered, "How interesting. They actually have the ability to control sea monsters."

"They would have been better off hiding among the pirates and suddenly attacking us," Li Changhe responded, taking out a Piercing Arrow.

"If they want to test us, let them see!"

He then drew his bow to full, and the arrow was placed on the bowstring.

"Hundred-Headed Shooter!"

...

Several kilometers away from the investigation team on an island reef, an elf lowered its bow and arrow.

"Assassin’s black hawk...interesting indeed! So, it’s indeed a human player! Hehe!" The beautiful elf marveled.

"Alright, Mo Zhu, our goal has been achieved. Let’s retreat. The navy is coming. We have to carry out the next plan." Another hoarse, old voice sounded.

"What about the Demon Tooth Shark?"

"Dead." The old voice paused, "Killed by a single arrow."
