Chapter 231

After a long time of encounters with pirates, most players have learned how to fight back. In this kind of naval battle, whoever strikes first wins. Players who don't have catapults, cannons, and crossbows can go to the trading system to exchange a lot of supplies for long-range shooting weapons such as crossbows.

It's not that they can't afford catapults and cannons, but crossbows are more cost-effective.

Players who are more financially constrained make their own. Everyone also uses their brains to exchange various animal tendons in the trading system. After many players tested it, they all agreed that beef tendons are the most effective. Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of cows, so other animal tendons can also be used.

For a period of time, fighting pirates became the top priority for players.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Pirates actually started to attack players in groups. When Qiao Sheng and his team encountered a large pirate fleet for the third time, they were surprised that the pirate team had expanded.

This time, they actually encountered a fleet of six pirate ships, two on each side, one at the bow and the stern. They were surrounded by the pirate team.

The four people quickly assigned tasks. Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang were still responsible for opening the window and pushing the cannon. Qiao Sheng ran with a torch to light the fire, and Li Mu ran upstairs to add stones to the slings at the bow and stern and started throwing.

Only then did they realize the disadvantage of having too few people. They couldn't handle it, and finally had to call the cassocks up to stand at the stern to take charge of the slings.

Li Mu also arranged them well. The cassock cub was responsible for loading the catapults, and Xinxin, Baba, Yousu and Ah Dai were responsible for pressing the switches. The stones were piled in the corner. If there were not enough, they would shout.

These animals were smart enough. They could operate after being taught once, but their accuracy was a little poor. After all, you can't really expect a few animals to learn to aim and shoot in a few minutes.

Being able to tow the pirate ship at the rear and prevent them from getting close was the first achievement.

The first enemy to be dealt with was the enemy at the bow, which was under Li Mu's charge. With a high output frequency and accurate aim, the pirate ship at the bow was soon broken. Li Mu took his tracking bow and quickly shot the pirates who fell into the water in front of him. After making sure that there were no survivors, he quickly ran to the stern to support a few monks.

However, the fighting power of these pirates exceeded his expectations. The pirate ship at the stern did not get close to their ship at all, but the animals that originally threw stones were not near the catapults. There was no living creature at the stern.

Li Mu first stretched his head to look at JJZL in the sea, fearing that they had fallen into the sea. After making sure that there were no survivors, he looked at the pirate ship not far away.

There were screams from time to time on the ship. After waiting for a while, they finally saw the pirates behind the pirates running around on the deck.

The monks moved to the center of the deck at some point. Ah Dai was conducting an air raid, and Su, Xinxin and Baba were running behind the pirates.

Li Mu observed for a while and figured out what the three were running for. It turned out that they were driving the pirates to run to the monks. Once they were in the attack area of ​​the monks, they would be knocked unconscious by a bear paw, but some were hit in the vital parts and died on the spot.

Considering the need for a quick victory, Li Mu did not watch the battle. He stood at the stern and shot with a bow. The five animals worked very well together and soon cleared out the pirates in the pirate ship at the stern.

Yousu even went around the cabin and made sure there were no survivors before running to the deck and calling out twice. Originally, the transporter A-Dai was going to transport them all back to the ship, but he unexpectedly turned around and captured Yousu on the pirate ship on the left side of the ship.

The second and third trips were for Xinxin and Baba. These three were not too big, and it was a bit difficult for A-Dai to transport them. Li Mu, who was supposed to go to support immediately, could not help but stop. He really wanted to see how the big and strong monks were transported.

The next scene that surprised him was that Ah Dai did not grab the cassock boy and fly, but helped the cassock boy get off the boat and sit on a floating board. It was unknown where these guys got the floating board from.

The cassock boy sat down and stretched out his bear paw. Ah Dai grabbed it and flew away. It must be said that with the buoyancy of the water, this trip was not difficult. When they arrived under another pirate ship, the cassock boy relied on the strength given by Ah Dai holding the bear ears, and just used the bear paw to grab the outer wall of the pirate ship and climbed up.

Then the ship they had landed on was in trouble. It had been bombarded by Qiao Sheng and his men. Although it had not sunk, many pirates were injured. This time, the animal squads of Jiashazi arrived, just like mice entering a rice jar. They quickly dealt with all the pirates on the ship. They did the same to the ship next to them.

With these five harvesters, Qiao Sheng and his men immediately changed their targets and launched a fierce attack on the two pirate ships on the right. The pirates on the right were stunned at the time. They were originally evenly matched, but how could the firepower suddenly become so strong?

With the coordination of their artillery and crossbows, they quickly eliminated the pirates on the last two ships. Qiao Sheng also asked the system to confirm that there were no living pirates nearby. Then he released the small float and prepared to go aboard one by one to search.

Qiao Sheng accidentally discovered that she had asked the system to confirm that there were living people. In fact, the system has always been able to help her count the number of players and ships. This time she accidentally mentioned it, but she didn't expect the system to really answer her. This saved them from being so cautious every time they pirated ships in Shanghai.

Lin Haiyang was like this. He always scared himself at the slightest sign of trouble. This time he was finally able to put his mind at ease.

Qiao Sheng and the others got on the float, and Lin Haiyang awkwardly asked them if they had seen his float.

"Did you leave your float randomly? I told you to put it in your bag and take it out whenever you need it, but you really don't have any idea!" Xia Beibei couldn't help but scold him when he heard that he couldn't find his float again. In fact, this guy had lost seven or eight floats recently, but he still couldn't remember to put them away.

"I didn't. It got wet in the sea water, so I wanted to hang it on the railing to dry it. How come it's gone now?" Lin Haiyang searched the entire ship but couldn't find his float. He was almost doubting himself.

"Your previous float should have been left unpacked. This time, the float should have been requisitioned by the cassock kid. Make a new one. Give the previous one to the cassock kid. I'll have to process it later." Li Mu then remembered why the float that the cassock kid sat on looked so familiar. It turned out that it was given to Lin Haiyang.

When Lin Haiyang ran to the left side of the boat, he saw the monk sitting on the floating board being pulled back by Ah Dai.

It must be said that this wave of animal squads had a big score. Lin Haiyang took out supplies from his bag and made a floating board. He also told the monk who happened to be near the boat to remember to pull his floating board back to the boat.

It took a while for the four people to search the six pirate ships. Originally, they thought that each person would

go in one direction. Later, they found that the two pirate ships on the right side had been flooded by their attacks. After confirming that the pirate ship at the bow had not taken in water, Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei went to the pirate ship on the right side first. Each person went to one ship and searched it. In the end, they even dismantled the crooked pirate ship into pieces.

After searching the two ships, they went to the bow together. Li Mu also dismantled the pirate ships at the stern and paddled on the float to help Lin Haiyang capture the other ship on the right side.

Six pirate ships were a bit troublesome to fight, but looting was really fast. Not long after, the nearby sea was only scattered with broken wooden planks. The six pirate ships had disappeared, and only the NPC corpses floating on the sea were scary.

After everyone got on board, they quickly turned on the drive equipment and drove away from this place.

The pirates in the group almost came in waves every day. Qiao Sheng and his men were also worried about the decreasing ammunition and stones. If they didn't find an island, it would be difficult for them to replenish the stones.

As for the ammunition, it was okay. With the various ores stored in the two mining operations, they could hold on for a while.

However, after a war, they were paddling on the floats to collect supplies from the pirate ship. Halfway through, they encountered a shark that suddenly attacked. Several people decided to put all the floats together for the monks to use, and they had to sail directly over.

In order to avoid being injured by the sharks when they were not careful, of course, the shark that attacked them was not well, and let the four of them beat it with machetes and crossbows.

Afterwards, Lin Haiyang said that the shark's fighting power was not very strong, but it was a bit scary to suddenly kill it face to face, and see the rows of sharp teeth in the opponent's mouth.

Qiao Sheng also had a headache. It was the cool and clear autumn day, and he finally felt comfortable after sweating all day. However, the game squeezed players in various ways. Less and less food and more and more battles meant that players' living conditions were becoming more and more demanding.

Running for food every day was already very exhausting, and now everyone was almost stressed out.

Although Qiao Sheng and his team were not opposed to fighting to survive, they were also irritated by fighting many times a day. The pirates came at any time. Often, they would be halfway through a meal or halfway through a bath when the pirates suddenly approached.

At first, the pirate ship was very different from their player's ship, but now, they don't know what's going on. The pirate ship is getting more and more similar to the player's ship. They were close to each other several times until the other side raised the pirate flag. Then they realized that it was not the player who was approaching.

The four of them now have to leave someone to guard the night. It's really that this group of pirates has no martial ethics. It's fine if they come to eat, take a shower, or go to the toilet, but they don't stop fighting in the middle of the night. They are woken up in the middle of sleep and fight, which makes them more and more irritated.

"Do you think the pirates have a lair? Can we just rush over and destroy their lair? This is too annoying. We can't kill them all. They come in waves. It's like these NPCs never need a break. If this war of attrition starts, they will be fine, but we won't be able to bear it." After being dragged up to fight in the middle of the night for the Nth time, Xia Beibei lay on the sofa, his head pressed on Baba's back, and couldn't help sighing.

Qiao Sheng suddenly thought that this was also a new idea. After destroying the lair, these NPCs would be a little more obedient.

"I also think there is a problem with the refresh rate. It's too frequent. Ours is still good, but it consumes manpower and materials. It will be more difficult for other players." Li Mu couldn't help sighing. They were really too tired recently.

Qiao Sheng simply asked the system if there was a way to wipe out the pirates' lair.

The system answered every question and told her directly that there was a mission to clear out the pirates' lair, but it was a five-star+ copy, so they could comprehensively examine their own strength and then consider whether to go.
