Chapter 274 The Merchant Ship That Goes and Returns
"Chief, this...could this be a devil's ship?"
People who make a living on the sea have naturally heard stories about the devil ship on the sea. Now they see that there is no movement among more than a hundred people on the sea, which makes them feel a little uneasy.
There was a "pop" sound.
The pirate leader slapped him on the head and cursed: "You are blind. This is a cargo ship. You can't tell it looks like a devil's ship."
He was scolded and beaten, but the pirate leader was also a little suspicious in his heart.
Because the pirates who boarded this cargo ship never returned, how could such a weird thing happen to a normal cargo ship?
Even if there are really thousands of troops ambushed on the cargo ship.
But it can't last so long without even a little movement, right?
Even if one of his men is caught, killed, or ambushed, there will still be some noise and response!
But no.
Not even a single response!
The people who went up to row the boats seemed to disappear.
"Chief, this cargo ship is too evil. Do you still want to go aboard?"
The confidant said with some fear.
"What are the evil people afraid of? There are so many people here, should we just forget about it?"
The leader of the pirates is also riding a tiger now. If there are ten or eight pirates, it would make sense to give up on them.
But now that there are almost two hundred pirates who have gone up, how can we really leave them alone? Let’s not say whether he is willing or not. Even if he is willing, I am afraid that when he goes back, he will be the leader of the pirates for the rest of his life.
"What are you afraid of? I'll go up and have a look."
The pirate leader gritted his teeth and said.
"Chief, no, this is too risky."
The cronies hurriedly stopped him.
"I have to take the risk to go up and have a look. I won't be willing to not take a look."
The pirate leader is not afraid, but no matter how afraid he is, he can't back down at this moment. After all, there are so many pirates watching him.
If he ran away with everyone in despair, what would the pirates think? How would he convince the crowd in the future?
"Chief, take this to be safer."
Another henchman secretly took out a cross from his pocket and handed it to the leader and said.
"absurd!"
The leader waved his hand, not intending to take it.
But his confidants persuaded him.
"Chief, it's better to hold it. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
The pirate leader was actually very timid at heart. He walked down the slope, took the cross and hung it around his neck. Then he took his weapon and climbed up to the cargo ship through the rope ladder made by the hook.
Not long after, the pirate leader climbed onto the deck of the cargo ship, holding a cross in one hand and a weapon in the other.
But there was no one on the deck, it was completely empty.
"What the hell!"
The pirate leader shook his head.
Before coming up, he even imagined that the cargo ship would be eerie or shrouded in black mist.
But there was nothing on it, not even a drop of blood, and there were no traces or corpses of his more than 200 pirate men.
"Weird!"
"It's so weird!"
A panic began to fill the mind of the pirate leader. Since there was no one up there, there should be no danger.
Just when he was about to ask someone to come up and investigate together, a figure appeared behind him.
"who!"
"Who's there?"
The pirate leader suddenly turned around and was about to pull the trigger when his head suddenly buzzed and he fell down unconscious.
And the person who brought him down was naturally not some ghost, but Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen glanced at the Crusaders in this guy's hands and thought it was really funny. Could it be that this pirate regarded himself as something unclean?
And Ning Beichen didn't know that this guy was the leader of the pirates. After killing him, he dragged his body to a dark place and hid it, and continued to wait for the pirates to come and die.
Regarding these pirates, Ning Bei had no intention of letting them go. These guys often appeared on this route and had plundered countless passing ships. It could be said that they were full of evildoers. Today, Ning Beichen took the opportunity to do something for heaven.
However, since Ning Beichen killed the pirate with the cross, no pirates were seen boarding the ship again, which made Ning Beichen feel very strange.
"Are they scared?"
Ning Beichen waited for a long time but didn't see a pirate coming up, which made him murmur in his heart.
How did he know that the person he just killed was the pirate leader.
And when the pirates saw that the leader had gone up and made no movement, how could they not be afraid?
Although pirates are all desperadoes, it does not mean that they are not afraid of death.
If they are facing an enemy face to face, they will not be afraid no matter how tough the enemy is and how fierce the firepower is. However, this cargo ship is like a bag. Once they get on board, they will never come back. Who can not be afraid?
"escape!"
This is the thinking of the remaining pirates. All wealth is fake. If you have money, you have no life to spend it. No matter how much wealth there is, what's the use?
Ning Beichen waited for a long time without waiting for the pirates to board the ship. Just when he was about to go over to check, he saw the pirate ships escaping in a swarm.
When he went out to take a look, there were no traces of pirates down there, and they all fled in their boats.
This made Ning Beichen really dumbfounded, and also shattered his idea of turning the pirates into a pot.
Seeing themselves, they were really frightened.
But let's just leave. Ning Beichen didn't bother to chase them. Instead, he threw the bodies of the dead pirates into the sea to feed the fish.
It's just that those who were frightened were not pirates. The crew and guards on the ship were also frightened because they saw with their own eyes how Ning Beichen killed these pirates.
"shock!"
"Shocking!"
"fear!"
"Horror!"
These words can no longer describe their mood at this moment. When they saw Ning Beichen coming in, they all hid far away and did not dare to approach Ning Beichen at all.
Only the captain and his wife seemed not to be afraid of all this, but walked towards Ning Beichen and thanked him.
If it hadn't been for Ning Beichen today, I'm afraid their cargo ship, including their lives, the lives of the crew and the guards, would have all fallen into the hands of these pirates.
Because with their abilities, it is simply impossible to block the attack of hundreds of pirates.
Even if they can escape, if these goods are plundered by pirates, they may be bankrupt and cannot afford the compensation.
"You're welcome. In the final analysis, it's me who has caused trouble for you. If it weren't for me and these goods, you wouldn't have encountered pirates."
Ning Beichen said to them a little embarrassedly.
"Mr. Ning, what you said is out of context. If it weren't for you, our couple would have died long ago. How could we still survive today?"
