Chapter 18 Danger Approaches—?
Hearing Dahlia's anxious cries, Chen Qing's thoughts were finally pulled away from the pile of metal in front of him.
pirate?
Chen Qing blinked her sore eyes and looked down at the clock on the wall, its hands pointing exactly to twelve.
By the way, today is the fifth day since I entered the game. The system said that danger will come in four days.
I didn't expect the timing to be so tight.
Chen Qing picked up the knife bag on the wall and immediately walked outside. Upon opening the door, Chen Qing immediately saw Daliya dressed in a strange outfit.
The child looked tense and solemn, with an iron pot on his head, two kitchen knives in his hands, and a large pot lid on his back.
This appearance is truly quite comical.
"What are you doing...?"
Chen Qing asked hesitantly and uncertainly.
"Kill the pirates!"
"Dalia said seriously."
She tried her best to arm herself with the available resources, but the supplies on the ship were limited, so this was all she could do.
"..."
Chen Qing coughed lightly, pressing his fist to his mouth, trying to hide his smile.
"?"
Dahlia tilted her head back, looking at Chen Qing with a puzzled expression.
Chen Qing patted her shoulder, her eyes crinkling with a gentle smile.
"You can stay in your room."
Dahlia is no older than 14; she's still a child.
Chen Qing wouldn't risk a child's life; she'd face plenty of dangers in the future.
Although Chen Qing didn't know Moana's exact situation, he could glean some information from Daliya's account.
Dahlia's future life will definitely not be smooth sailing; it will inevitably be filled with bloodshed and war.
"Be good, listen to me."
Chen Qing removed the pot from Dalia's head, put away the cleaver she was gripping tightly, ruffled the child's rough hair, and led her to the deck.
As soon as Chen Qing stepped onto the deck, he immediately saw the firelight not far away. Through the firelight, Chen Qing could clearly see the situation on the pirate ship.
A pirate flag fluttering in the wind, with only a simple skull and crossbones drawn on it.
The pirate ship was about the same size as the triangular sail Chen Qing had seen before, and ten fierce-looking pirates stood on it.
In addition, Chen Qing observed some more subtle things.
For example, their ships didn't have cannons, and the weapons they carried weren't as new and sharp as those of the Black Knife Pirates.
Moreover, their eyes only showed a superficial ferocity.
The pirates of the Black Knife Pirates were in very poor health at the time, suffering from injuries and chronic dehydration.
The pirates in front of him were indeed strong and powerful, but they didn't give Chen Qing the same feeling as the Black Knife Pirates.
Alcohol and women had already drained their bodies, leaving them weak and unsteady.
To sum it up in one sentence, they were no match for Chen Qing.
"Let's go back."
Chen Qing smiled at Daliya and drew two black knives from the knife pouch at his waist.
The black blade was drawn, its cold light gleaming.
"Sister Chen Qing..."
Dahlia wanted to say something, but the pirate ship had already come within a few meters of them.
The pirates on the pirate ship roared excitedly, spewing profanities incessantly.
Chen Qing couldn't help but frown as he listened, and a bouncy man had already stepped onto the ship's railing.
In the next instant, Chen Qing's figure appeared on the pirate ship!
The pirates never expected Chen Qing to be so bold as to willingly walk into the lion's den!
They exchanged a glance, and then they all became excited.
Such a huge ship, how much treasure must it hold?!
A bunch of guys whose brains were clouded by alcohol, they didn't even consider that Chen Qing alone could hold such a large ship, how could his strength be weak?
Before the pirates could even approach, Chen Qing's black knife had already slit the throats of two of them.
One fatal blow to the throat!
The sight of their companion's blood splattering on their faces sent a shiver down their spines, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads.
One of the pirates seemed to recognize the origin of the black knife in Chen Qing's hand, and even the large ship with blank sails in front of him seemed familiar. He pointed at Chen Qing and stammered.
"Black, black, black—"
"What's black about it?!"
"black--"
A knife.
A flash of cold light, and the pirate's unfinished words, laced with blood, spurted from his throat as he collapsed stiffly to the ground.
In just one exchange, four pirates had already fallen.
There were only eight pirates on deck, and now four of them are dead!
Dalia, who was behind Chen Qing, looked at Chen Qing with her eyes growing brighter and brighter. In her eyes, Chen Qing was practically shining!
The pirates' gazes toward Chen Qing shifted from initial excitement to a mixture of intense fear and anger.
A pirate noticed Dahlia, who was left behind on the opposite ship, and a fierce expression appeared on his dirty, bearded face.
If you can't handle the big one, surely you can handle the small one!
The bearded pirate immediately rushed towards Dalia. Dalia's eyes widened, and she reacted quickly by raising a floor brush that had not yet been put away in the storage room for self-defense.
Dahlia was both scared and excited.
Just as the bearded pirate was about to jump onto their ship, a knife suddenly flew out of nowhere, piercing his heart with overwhelming force!
"Thump—"
A splash of water rose, and blood gradually stained the seawater red.
The ferocious sea fish immediately swarmed around, enjoying the delicious treat that had fallen from the sky!
Dahlia was somewhat disappointed, but the next second, a pirate who had been kicked away by Chen Qing landed on the ship and slammed heavily onto the deck!
A black knife also fell with him, landing at Dahlia's feet.
Dahlia turned around to look at Chen Qing in surprise, but Chen Qing ignored her and continued to focus on dealing with the pirates pouring out of the ship's cabin.
"..."
Dahlia pursed her lips, revealing shallow dimples that made her incredibly cute.
She quickly picked up the black knife at her feet and walked step by step toward the pirate who was hunched over and coughing up blood.
On the pirate ship, Chen Qing was surrounded by more than ten corpses, with only one survivor whom she had threatened with a knife.
Where is your captain?
Chen Qing's calm and cold voice almost scared the pirates in front of him out of their wits, and a foul smell wafted out.
Fortunately, this was the deck, and the sea breeze quickly dissipated the dust.
"The ship's captain just—just got kicked away by you."
The rather large pirate answered Chen Qing's question with a sob in his voice, as if he was afraid that Chen Qing would kill him the next second.
He was worrying too much; Chen Qing would definitely kill him.
The next second, Chen Qing's knife had already slit his throat.
The pirate glared venomously at Chen Qing, dying with extreme reluctance, as if he could take Chen Qing down with him to the underworld.
Was the captain the one she just kicked away?
Chen Qing turned around and saw that the captain had already been stabbed more than a dozen times by Dalia.
No wonder he was the only one among all the pirates on the ship who could attack; he was the captain.
Chen Qing continued to focus her attention on the pirate ship; she could sense very faint breathing coming from the cabins below…
