As the oil tanks continued to shatter on the deck, the splashed kerosene was immediately ignited by the fire, turning the deck of the pirate ship into a sea of flames.
Just as Xu Zun expected, the thick smoke from the kerosene quickly suppressed the pink poisonous gas until it was almost gone.
Xu Zun and his subordinates stood on the bow of the boat and watched, their expressions still serious, because no one knew whether this method would work?
At this moment, the sailors and guards were busy nervously. Some were transporting oil to the pirate ship, while others were carrying buckets to salvage sea water, always ready to board the ship to put out the fire.
Fortunately, the sea was calm and there was no strong wind. Although the fire was not small, it was still within control.
However, because the pirate ship's jib was in an open state, the flames had already ignited the sail and slowly swallowed up the huge pirate flag.
"I think it must have worked," Zhao Yu murmured, looking at the sea of fire on the deck. "It seems that the poisonous smoke can't be seen at all."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Zhao Yu felt that he was speechless, because he and everyone saw that there was still a lot of pink poisonous gas coming out from the entrance of the cabin.
It is conceivable that the poisonous gas originates from the cabin. If we want to completely cut off the poisonous gas, we need to remove the source of the poisonous gas in the cabin.
So, after everyone looked at each other, Xu Zun immediately decided to order someone to throw a barrel of oil cans into the cabin.
As the oil tank shattered, fire flashed inside the cabin, and the flames immediately spread into the cabin.
Everyone's hearts tightened with the fire, because if the fire inside the cabin was too big, the pirate ship would still be burned to the ground.
Nowadays, the Daxuan battleship has been scrapped. If they cannot save this pirate ship, they will have no choice but to float in the sea and drink water.
However, the poisonous gas is really fierce. If we don't use this method of fighting poison with fire, we don't know how long it will take for the poisonous gas to stop dispersing?
At first, Xu Zun had a safer way, that is, everyone jumped into the sea and waited in the sea for the poisonous gas of the pirate ship to dissipate, and then it was not too late to board the ship again.
But then I thought, this idea must never be used.
At first, there were more than 200 of them in total. If they were all soaked in the sea, they would inevitably be damaged, and there were also key criminals among them.
Secondly, the Daxuan battleship is about to capsize. Because the distance between the two ships is too close, once the battleship capsizes, a whirlpool will inevitably form and sweep them into the seabed.
Thirdly, God knows if the poisoner is on the pirate ship. If everyone gets off the ship and they drive the ship away, wouldn't that mean Tiantian should not respond?
Moreover, the most important point is that they have realized something through their encounter with the "Siren" and the murder of Hei Bo Yu.
At first glance, the incident of the prince's disappearance seems to have reached a fever pitch, but in Xu Zun's view, it seems that it has touched upon the most important truth.
The top priority is not only to deal with the poisonous smoke, but also to find out the facts of the case and solve the mystery.
Otherwise, even if they can escape, there will still be disaster waiting for them!
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about anything, and immediately pulled the little pirate leader into a corner and said harshly:
"Boy, do you want to live?"
"Ah?" The little pirate leader was stunned, as if he didn't expect Xu Zun to ask such a question. After understanding, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Please have mercy, sir..."
"It's easy to survive," Xu Zun glared at him and said, "Now is your only chance. If you can't seize it, I guarantee that I will use the most cruel punishment from the internal guards to make your life worse than death!"
"Sir," the little boss said, his face full of snot and tears, "please have mercy, sir, I... I don't want to die..."
"Okay, let me ask you," Xu Zun asked, "the Daxuan mission was attacked by a sea monster, was it you who did it?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, yes..." The little boss did not dare to hesitate and kowtowed hurriedly, "Please tell me clearly, it was all the pirate Hei Bo Yu's idea!"
After hearing this answer, Zhao Yu and others immediately gathered around, feeling incredible.
"Nonsense!" Xu Zun said coldly, "The Daxuan Mission has four battleships and one Tianfu ocean-going giant ship. How can you, a small pirate, have such strength?"
"Yes, yes, um... Sir..." The little boss didn't know the answer for a while, so he organized his words and said, "At first, we thought Hei Bo Yu was just dreaming!
"But when we discovered that lemon toxin can affect people's minds, and saw Hei Boyu's underwater equipment, we believed it.
"Speaking of which, who of us dares to resist what Hei Bo Yu says?"
"So," Xu Zun said, "the attack on the Daxuan Mission was really your fault? Tell me, what happened at that time?"
"Yes, yes! Well... no, no..." Unexpectedly, after hemming and hawing incomprehensibly, the little boss suddenly said, "Even if our pirate ships are all filled with explosives, it is impossible to destroy so many warships."
Shen?"
"Oh?" Xu Zun's heart trembled and he asked quickly, "What do you mean? You mean, you have accomplices?"
"At that time," the little leader said, "Lord Heibo Yu sent out three ships. Just like before, we chose a shallow sea and planted lemons on the sea in advance to let the toxins take full effect.
"Then, the Daxuan envoy came. Under the influence of the poison, they couldn't see us at all, and they just thought we encountered a sea monster.
"And we," the little boss said, "will use that underwater device, get close to the battleship, and then explode!"
"To tell the important point," Xu Zhengzhong asked, "Besides Hei Bo Yu's three ships, who else is there?"
"And... um..." The little leader shrank his cheeks first, and then said with determination, "There is also one of the frigates of the mission!"
Uh-huh...
As soon as these words were spoken, the bow of the ship froze instantly and became eerily quiet.
Everyone could only hear the sound of hunting fire on the deck in the distance.
Gulu...
Xu Zun swallowed and asked: "Say it again, do you mean that one of the frigates in the mission betrayed the enemy?"
"Yes," the little boss said with certainty, "that frigate is also equipped with the same explosive devices as ours. Their explosives seem to be purer and much more powerful than ours!
"Well... let's put it this way!" the little boss said, "Our three pirate ships combined only sunk one frigate, and the other warships, including the Tianfu giant ship, were all caused by that frigate!
"
Oops...
This time, everyone can no longer remain calm!
If the little pirate leader did not lie, then this matter is extremely important, and the culprit becomes one of his own!
Xu Zun's forehead was already sweating, and he began to regret that he should not have interrogated the prisoner in front of so many people.
However, he didn't expect that he would ask such shocking news!
No wonder, after the accident in the mission, all the survivors were silenced. It turned out to be for fear that this shocking news would be leaked.
Why?
Why!?
Who is in control of that frigate?
According to the confession of the little leader, it was obvious that the frigate had premeditated this. What on earth was going on?
"Sir," Han Feier whispered in surprise behind Xu Zun, "I think the poisonous gas has almost dissipated. If we don't put out the fire, I'm afraid it will be too late..."
