Chapter 674: Chapter 546, Why Revive It? Chapter 674: Chapter 546, Why Revive It? “What's the matter?”
Mini immediately said, “Seeing that you didn't come up for so long, we were afraid something happened to you.”
Wu Heng touched her head, “Don't worry, nothing will happen.”
“Master, what exactly is this new spell for?” Mini asked curiously.
Wu Heng thought for a moment, “In a critical moment, it can be used to conceal oneself or to ambush an enemy.”
“Oh, still doesn't seem very useful.”
“Having one more skill might come in handy someday!”
“Yes, Master is right.”
Thump thump thump~!
While the maids were chatting, there was a knocking at the courtyard door.
Mini quickly went to open the door, then turned her head and called out, “Master, Steward Xi Ligui has arrived.”
She then led Xi Ligui in.
“What brings you to me?” Wu Heng walked over.
Xi Ligui said, “Pirates have emerged at sea, I came to discuss it with you.”
“Pirates? A new group?” Wu Heng asked.
The two walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.
The lop-eared rabbit, Annette, served tea and pastries.
Xi Ligui continued, “No, the fleets that docked yesterday brought news that on the Jasik Route there appeared five pirate ships without flags, and they have Flying Dragons. Their combat power is not weak, and they have already plundered some ships.”
Flying Dragons?
Five pirate ships.
Since the last time 'Philippa' took the fleet along the route to clear it, there's hardly been word of pirates.
It was the most peaceful period in the Emerald Sea.
Unexpectedly, pirates have appeared again.
“Pirate groups that have Flying Dragons are all major pirates, and we've wiped them all out.”
Xi Ligui shook her head, “That's what I'm worried about too. They might have been overlooked before, or they could be pirate groups from other seas.”
Then, she pulled out a ragged, blood-stained leather armor, “This is from the pirates, see if the prophet can find anything out.”
Wu Heng took it, “Okay, wait here a moment.”
“Sure, just let me know if you find anything.”
Wu Heng took the leather armor and went straight up to the third floor, entering the room where the Skeleton Prophet was.
He didn't have the prophet look at the armor in his hand, but instead, he took out the Emerald Sand Table.
The reason he didn't bring Xi Ligui along,
Was that he didn't want her to know about the Emerald Sand Table.
It wasn't that he was afraid of her coveting it–Xi Ligui's character and their relationship were quite good.
The main concern was that information on the Special Item leaking could bring unnecessary trouble for him.
The Emerald Sand Table was like having a God's-eye view map of the entire Emerald Sea.
One could see the movement of any ship, their routes, and even flags and types.
Outside it wasn't of much use, but within the Emerald Sea, it was a divine artifact.
He took out the Emerald Sand Table and looked at the situation.
Not seeing any obvious pirates, he focused his attention on the Jasik Route and started searching along it.
After looking around, he spotted five huge merchant ships near Scorpion Pincer Island.
Docked at the edge of the small island, they were flying flags with a green base and red dragon wings.
Not the black flag of the skeletons used by pirates.
But on that whole route, only those five ships were flying a strange flag he hadn't seen before, making them an obvious target.
Wu Heng put away the sand table and went downstairs again.
Xi Ligui was still sitting in the lobby, looking at the hangings on the wall.
“How did it go?”
Wu Heng said, “A flag with a green base and red dragon wings, do you know which power's flag it is?”
Xi Ligui frowned and recalled, “It's the flag of the Dragon Trafficking Team. The Flying Dragons the pirates in the Emerald Sea had were bought from them.”
“Ah? The pirates bought their dragons? I haven't heard of that.”
“I also know some intelligence, I haven't seen it either.” Xi Ligui explained, then continued, “They should have come to sell Flying Dragons, I don't know why they've started robbing ships.”
“What's your plan?”
“I'll lead a team out to sea this afternoon. The Emerald Sea has just calmed down, we can't let these guys cause trouble.” Xi Ligui took a sip of tea from her cup.
Wu Heng also agreed with this idea, for recently the number of merchants docking at Gold and Silver Island was growing, and the business environment was improving.
They couldn't let these guys make the merchants feel the route was dangerous again.
Thinking it over, he directly said, “Gold and Silver Island can't be left without someone in charge. You stay and take command here, and leave the rest to me.”
Xi Ligui thought it made sense, “Take two squads with you!”
“No need, it's all skeleton fighting anyway. Wait for my good news.”
“Alright then, be careful.”
“Hmm.”
After a brief discussion, Xi Ligui left the manor and took a carriage back to the association.
Wu Heng began making some preparations.
Then he put on the [Train Captain's Hat], boarded the train, and wrote 'Scorpion Pincer Island' on the itinerary.
The Phantom Train once again burrowed into the void and vanished from sight.
Scorpion Pincer Island.
Wu Heng sat nearby and waited for a while.
Glenda and Xiao Xiao, one after another, flew back.
“Over four hundred people are here, but we found no slaves or hostages, however, there are more than 40 Flying Dragons.”
Xiao Xiao added, “There's a level 15 professional in that house over there, picking at his toes, how filthy!”
“Let me have a look! For Xiao Xiao's case, no need to look any further.”
“Tch~!” Xiao Xiao pouted with her arms crossed.
With a smile, Glenda entered inside him, sharing the visual feed.
The shoreline was covered with temporary tents, there were indeed quite a few people and many Flying Dragons had landed.
They did not take to the sky, but instead were scattered all over the ground.
Wu Heng released Glenda back out.
He said, “Xiao Xiao, help me keep watch. Glenda, you take care of their Flying Dragons. Do you need the Evil Sword?”
Glenda shook her head, “I shouldn't need it.”
“Xiao Xiao, any problem?”
Xiao Xiao clenched her fist, “No problem.”
“Good, then prepare for battle,” Wu Heng said, as two ghosts swiftly flew off and away.
Afterward, Wu Heng stood on high ground, taking a distant look at the tent encampment below.
He raised his Magic Wand, and a massive rift and stone door burst open abruptly.
The rift caught the attention of the enemies in the distance the moment it appeared, they all grabbed their weapons, vigilantly watching this side.
Wu Heng scanned the area before him, and commanded, “Blow up the crowds, and that stone house over there, too.”
Bang~Bang~Bang Bang Bang!
The Machine Cannon behind the stone door started spitting out red flames.
The tents and stone house exploded violently, turning into fragments that filled the sky.
The gathered enemies howled and screamed, fleeing in chaos. The splinters of stone that shot out penetrated their bodies, leaving them to collapse on the ground.
The entire camp of tents vanished into thin air, leaving behind only deep craters on the ground.
“Charge down and kill all the enemies.”
Crash~!
A mass of Mutated Skeletons pushed and shoved their way through the stone door, charging down like wild beasts in giant strides.
They engaged in close combat with the remaining enemies that had not died.
Elsewhere, a few figures mounted the backs of Flying Dragons.
More than 40 Flying Dragons instantly soared into the sky, circling above.
A figure riding on a Flying Dragon shot a Crossbow Arrow before pulling out an Alchemical Bomb, lighting the fuse, “Damn undead, I'll blast you to pieces.”
“Blast who to pieces?” A ghostly face appeared before the figure.
Before he could react, it dived directly into his body.
The grenade that had just been lit was tucked back into his stuffed pack.
Boom~!
An explosion rang out, a great fire engulfing both man and dragon completely.
Charred corpses fell from the sky.
Afterward, one after another, the bodies of Flying Dragons plummeted from the sky.
Even those that sensed something was wrong and tried to escape
plunged straight into the sea.
And the entire island instantly quieted down.
The battle was simpler than expected.
Even that toe-picking powerhouse that Xiao Xiao talked about, Wu Heng never saw him appear.
And on the battlefield, the skeletons began to clean up.
Some started to go into the sea to salvage the Flying Dragons that had fallen in.
Eventually, the bodies were neatly arranged along the shore.
Wu Heng walked around the Skeleton Flying Dragons, selecting three whose necks had been pierced by swords from behind.
He said, “Tie up the wings and legs of these three.”
The skeletons immediately got to work, using ropes to bind the Flying Dragons' wings and legs tightly together.
“Uncle, what are you doing?” Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
On the other side, Glenda said, “Don't ask, your uncle has his little quirks.”
“What do you mean?” Xiao Xiao grew even more curious.
Wu Heng said, “Don't talk nonsense to the kid.”
“Isn't it? So, what are you doing?”
Without further explanation, Wu Heng cast the Revival Technique on the three dragon carcasses in succession.
The bodies of the Flying Dragons twitched slightly, then they opened their eyes, shifting from dead to critically wounded.
“Why are you saving them?”
