Looking at the corpses on the wooden boat, the three monks fell silent. Things turned out as they feared.
The difference is that Tang Zhen did not kill the monks on the same ship, but led them to actively hunt down the monks on other ships.
Looking at the number of corpses and wooden boats, we know that more than a group of monks had been killed before this.
The three of them were unlucky enough to be discovered by Tang Zhen on the vast sea, and saw their death approaching.
Looking at a group of hunters holding bronze oars and making projection gestures, the three monks already knew how to choose.
"I surrender, I don't want to die now."
One of the monks said to Tang Zhen and slowly put down the bronze oar in his hand.
At this moment, he could only take a gamble and hope that Tang Zhen would keep his word.
The other two monks also chose to surrender rather than resist to the death.
They knew very well that even if their manpower doubled, they would never be able to match Tang Zhen and others.
Seeing the three monks opposite him giving up resistance, Tang Zhen nodded with a smile on his lips.
“Wise choice.”
The number of corpses was already large enough, and Tang Zhen hoped to get some prisoners, or helpers who "abandoned the dark and turned to the bright".
The more hands there are, the greater the power.
If thirty or fifty monks are gathered together, they can directly crush the target without any planning at all.
According to Tang Zhen's request, the three monks handed over their weapons and all their food.
Tang Zhen will distribute corresponding food based on their performance to ensure that they will not starve to death.
The next time a battle occurs, if they participate, they are also eligible to share the spoils equally with other monks.
The three monks nodded in agreement. At this moment, they had realized the importance of food.
Of course, the reason for the internal strife was not the robbery of food, nor was it the discovery of the secret of food.
The cause was just a small friction, but an internal fight broke out, and in the end only the three of them were killed.
Tang Zhen's troops were spared no blood and captured a boatload of loot and three prisoners.
There were three flat-bottomed wooden boats captured, plus a small boat obtained as a food sacrifice.
In addition to food, there are a lot of corpses and enough bronze oars.
These material reserves are enough to fight a tough battle, and there is no need to panic when encountering sea monsters.
According to Tang Zhen's request, the four flat-bottomed wooden boats were gathered together and then fixed with chains.
After some operations, the four flat-bottomed wooden boats were transformed into water platforms, which are as stable as flat ground when walking on them.
Such transformation showed Tang Zhen's attitude.
He did not plan to use the previous method, but planned to force the enemy to surrender and admit defeat through crushing numbers and equipment.
If necessary, the flat-bottomed wooden boat can be untied at any time, which is a very easy thing.
In the following time, Tang Zhen summoned the water ghost again by sacrificing food.
The water ghost led the way, and a group of monks followed behind, starting the hunting trip again.
The three captured monks witnessed this scene, and their hearts were filled with uncontrollable shock.
They originally thought that the main function of food was to satisfy their hunger and prevent themselves from starving to death.
After being reminded, I realized that food can heal wounds.
Relying on these food reserves, even if it means exchanging injuries for injuries, the enemy can be killed by force.
As a result, it was now discovered that in addition to satisfying hunger and healing wounds, food could also be sacrificed to summon water ghosts.
They finally understood how Tang Zhen and others accurately found their location in the vast sea.
They are both monks and have been exposed to similar spells. They only need to think for a moment to figure out what is going on.
Using this method, you can indeed take advantage of it. No wonder so many monks were killed.
Thinking of this, the three monks couldn't help but feel lucky to have survived the disaster. If they had chosen to fight just now, they would have turned into corpses long ago.
The ocean glowed with purple light, and there was a disturbing silence. No matter how it slid across the water, the wooden boat could not make a single sound.
If it is not necessary, the monks will never open their mouths to speak to avoid exposing their existence.
The water ghost responsible for guiding the way swam for nearly two hours, and finally there was movement ahead.
The monks listened carefully and found that there should be more than one group of monks in front of them, and the two sides seemed to be confronting each other.
"The situation is unclear. Let's hide first and then act as the situation arises!"
If it were just a group of monks, Tang Zhen would definitely lead his men to rush over and catch the opponent by surprise.
However, if you are facing two or more groups of monks, you cannot use such tactics, because it is likely to cause a siege by the other party.
If this is the case, it will only be self-defeating and make previous efforts in vain.
According to Tang Zhen's request, the monks lurked again, and Tang Zhen was once again left alone to control the flat-bottomed wooden boats side by side.
Gently turning the oars, Tang Zhen escaped from the darkness and sailed towards the location of the monks ahead.
Then he saw that there were indeed two ships of monks confronting each other, and one of the groups of monks was an acquaintance.
It was the old man who had previously taught common sense to his disciples and the surrounding monks outside Ziguang Ruins, as well as his eleven disciples.
Their situation was a bit bad, most of them were wounded, and they were facing the enemy with bronze oars in their hands.
Looking at the way they endured the pain, it became clear that until now, they still don’t know the healing effect of food.
This is no wonder for them. If you want to discover the healing effect of food, you must need some coincidence. Obviously, they don't have this luck.
The master who stays up all night to learn about the world of purple light and likes to help people answer questions obviously doesn't know that food has such a use.
On the other hand, the group of monks opposite looked a little suspicious, and they probably already knew the true purpose of the food.
But that's only part of it. They definitely didn't know that food could be sacrificed to summon sea monsters, otherwise this group of masters and disciples wouldn't have been able to persist until now.
Their purpose of besieging the old man should be to snatch food, but they were more cautious in their actions, which resulted in the current confrontation.
When Tang Zhen saw this, he had already made up his mind and continued to drive the flat-bottomed wooden boat forward.
"It's so lively here, do you mind if I join?"
When Tang Zhen discovered the other party, they also discovered Tang Zhen. The difference was that Tang Zhen came looking for them on his own initiative.
If the other party knows this, they will definitely be more vigilant, because it means that Tang Zhen is the real hunter.
Although they did not identify themselves, the four wooden boats lined up were enough to make people alert.
The monks who besieged the masters and disciples looked at Tang Zhen with vigilance. The corpses on the four wooden boats made them panic.
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
A monk looked at Tang Zhen and asked in a cold voice. He was obviously the leader on the ship.
Before the situation is unclear, no one dares to take action randomly, and most of them will choose to wait and see what happens.
Tang Zhen ignored the other party's question, but looked at the group of frightened masters and disciples, with a smile on his indifferent face.
"Sure enough, we meet each other everywhere in life. I didn't expect that in this world of purple light, I would meet your master and disciple again."
The old man looked at Tang Zhen, probably recognizing him, and gave a distant salute.
"It turns out to be Your Excellency. What a coincidence."
Tang Zhen nodded and continued: "I have benefited a lot from what you said earlier, and I have to repay you both emotionally and rationally.
I can give you a choice, pay for half of the food, and do whatever I want.
I'm here to help you, master and disciple, get out of this crisis.
If you agree, just nod, and the agreement will take effect immediately."
Upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, the expressions of the old man and the enemies who besieged them changed at the same time.
"You damn guy, what on earth do you want to do?"
The leader of the besiegers angrily scolded Tang Zhen, and at the same time raised the bronze oar in his hand, preparing to attack Tang Zhen.
The old man looked at Tang Zhen and nodded without hesitation under his gaze.
