"Just bear with it," Ye Feng said.
Wang Zongde nodded, sat down next to Ye Feng, and remained silent.
Troop transport ships are not fast, and these round-bellied cloud boats with large cargo capacity are arguably the worst of all cloud boats.
At this speed, it would probably take at least five or six days to reach Tianlan City.
Two days passed quickly. Wang Zongde was fine, but Wang Dachun and the others felt like they were about to suffocate.
"When will this ever end!" Wang Dachun muttered.
"We should be able to reach Tianlan City in three more days," Wang Zongde said.
"What? Three more days!" Wang Dachun shouted.
Wang Dachun's shout immediately resonated with the others in the cabin, and many of them began to complain.
Wang Zongde glared at Wang Dachun and said, "I told you not to talk nonsense after you got on the ship, but you didn't listen, did you?"
"Dad, I feel so suffocated and uncomfortable," Wang Dachun said.
“Once we get to Tianlan City, we won’t feel so stifled anymore. Besides, do you think I’m not stifled just because you’re? Do you think you’re the only special one?” Wang Zongde said irritably.
Wang Dachun could only lower his head and remain silent.
Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the cabin, accompanied by frantic shouts.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"We've been attacked by demons!"
"This ship probably won't last much longer!"
Wang Dachun was stunned, and the three men also showed expressions of fear on their faces.
"Calm down," Wang Zongde shouted sternly.
Wang Dachun hurriedly said, "Young Master Gong, Father, we've been ambushed by the demons! This troop transport ship has fallen into a trap that the demons set in advance!"
Wang Dachun heard what he said from others. There were many people around the small round window who could see the outside scenery, so the news of the attack by the demons spread quickly throughout the entire cabin.
At this moment, everyone in the cabin knew that the troop transport ship had been attacked by the demons!
boom!
A loud bang was heard, and a large hole was torn open in the ship's cabin.
Then a strong wind howled in and blew in, making everyone in the cabin's hair disheveled.
A night breeze blew, and Wang Zongde looked outside.
Outside the cabin, figures flew in the sky. These figures were all strange people with bright blue skin and a pair of fleshy wings on their backs!
Moreover, all the strange men's hands were pointed at the cabin, and streaks of blue and white electricity were constantly flashing in their palms.
"Winged people! They are the winged people, one of the five major races of the demon race!"
The next moment, clusters of azure lightning balls shot towards the troop transport ship.
A shield immediately appeared around the troop transport ship, blocking all the blue lightning orbs. However, the intense explosion caused the shield around the troop transport ship to shake and tremble, as if it would shatter at any moment.
“The shields on the troop transport ships won’t hold for long, and there are too many birdmen from the demon race,” Nightwind said.
The sky was filled with birdmen, at least a thousand of them.
However, only seven or eight hundred people responded to the call-up on this troop transport ship.
Although the number of people may seem to be similar, there is one thing we should not forget.
These winged people all possess considerable combat power, while only about one-fifth of the people in the cabin are martial artists, and the remaining four-fifths are all mortals!
So in reality, the power imbalance is 1,000 to 200!
If Ye Feng, a Void Returning Realm Immortal, hadn't intervened, everyone in the cabin would probably have died; the number of survivors would be less than a handful!
Another wave of lightning balls was launched and hit the shields of the troop transport ship.
With a series of violent explosions, the troop transport ship's shields were finally breached.
The ship's hull was under attack, and more and more parts were damaged; the troop transport ship was on the verge of falling apart!
Suddenly, a grief-stricken shout rang out: "Wang Wanfu is dead! Wang Wanfu was just hit by three lightning balls and was blown to death on the spot!"
"No, it wasn't the lightning ball that killed Wang Wanfu, but a lightning spear!"
"No matter what, Wang Wanfu is dead!"
Wang Wanfu was the supreme commander of this troop transport ship and the general specifically in charge of them.
But now, Wang Wanfu is dead.
Does that mean that no one is taking care of the people on this ship?
More and more people realized this, and a young man in the crowd shouted, "If we stay on the ship, we'll just be waiting to die. Let's rush out together and escape separately. Surely many of us will escape that way! As for who will escape and who will be killed by the demons, that's up to fate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man jumped off the boat.
With this young man taking the lead, one martial artist after another jumped off the troop transport ship!
They flew away in all directions, and birdmen immediately gave chase. They are now surrounding the troop transport ship, and the number of birdmen flying forward with the ship has decreased by about half compared to before!
"Young Master Gong, what should we do?" Wang Zongde asked.
“Yeah, what should we do? Should we run away too?” Wang Dachun chimed in.
Night Wind shook his head and said, "No, we can't leave now."
"Why?" Wang Dachun asked, puzzled.
"Because there aren't enough people to die in place of you," Ye Feng said with a smile.
Lu Hanjian pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
Ye Feng's voice wasn't very loud, and in such an urgent situation, no one should have paid attention to what he said.
But immediately a bald young man sat down next to Ye Feng with a thud.
"Brother, what do you mean by saying there aren't enough people to die in our place?" the bald man asked with a grin, acting all familiar.
Ye Feng glanced at him and asked, "A member of a sect?"
"Were you also exiled here?" the bald man asked.
“That’s right,” Ye Feng nodded.
"So which sect are you from?" the bald man asked again.
This time, however, the night wind did not answer.
Seeing that Ye Feng was unwilling to reveal his origins, the bald man then said, "You still haven't explained what you meant when you said there weren't enough people to die in your place."
Night Wind looked around and then down at the troop transport ship before saying, "Actually, it's quite simple. Although we don't know how the demons got the information and knew the route of this troop transport ship, it's a fact that the demons sent a large army of birdmen to ambush us here. So the place we were just now was within the demons' encirclement."
"Escape from the encirclement is impossible unless you are extremely powerful. So those people are rushing to their deaths. However, their deaths are not entirely without purpose. They have attracted the birdmen's attention and created a more favorable situation for us. That's why I say they are sacrificing themselves, but not enough of them have done so."
"I see. So, have enough people died by now?" the bald man asked.
