Chapter 232
The four of them sat together and discussed for a long time, and finally decided to go to the pirates' lair. Otherwise, if the pirates were constantly refreshed, the players would not be able to bear it.
As for the conclusion that the pirates were refreshed, it was entirely because they saw the same pirate captain three times, from his appearance to his clothes and even the decoration inside the ship.
So they had reason to suspect that these pirates would be refreshed again in the pirates' lair after being cleared out. As for the pirate corpses they saw floating on the sea, it was estimated that they would be refreshed after they left this sea area.
"Should we consider joining forces with Pei Hong's fleet? A five-star+ instance is indeed a bit strenuous for the four of us." Qiao Sheng was also worried. After all, although the combat power of the four of them was not low, there was still some gap with the pirates.
Li Mu also agreed with her proposal. Even if they only took one-third or even one-fifth of the spoils when the instance was over, it didn't matter. By borrowing the power of the other party, they could make things much easier, and it was reasonable to divide the benefits.
Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang didn't care about this matter. Their idea was to fight wherever Qiao Sheng pointed. As for whether it was dangerous or not, and whether it would take a lot of effort, they didn't care. They knew in their hearts that Qiao Sheng couldn't let them do anything that was really dangerous.
After deciding on the plan, Li Mu contacted Pei Hong first. The two sides quickly reached an agreement, but there was a problem with the distribution of benefits. Pei Hong's idea was to split it in half. After all, the route of the dungeon was provided by Li Mu. Without them, his fleet would not have been able to encounter the dungeon of the pirates' lair.
Li Mu thought that they could just take a quarter. It was indeed a large team of more than a hundred people, and there were only four of them. There was still a gap even if the monks were counted.
The final distribution plan was to split it in half. Li Mu provided Pei Hong's fleet with the priority redemption right of 100 cans of canned food every week. The ratio was the normal market ratio, but it saved him from having to arrange people to spend time squatting in the trading system.
The qualification requirements were not excessive, and it would be the same no matter who he exchanged with, so Li Mu agreed directly.
Agreed, Qiao Sheng turned around and looked for the system to accept the task of destroying the pirates' lair. Then something embarrassing happened. Not a single ship in Pei Hong's fleet had map coordinates. It was impossible to drift to the pirates' lair by drifting alone.
Li Mu quickly told the other party how to upgrade the fourth-level ship, so that the map and coordinates could be opened in time, and it would be convenient to find people.
Pei Hong was racking his brains on how to upgrade all the ships to level four. His fleet now has nearly twenty ships, and everyone lives in scattered places. Most of them are third-level ships, and some are even only second-level. The reason for not upgrading is that there are too many people and few supplies. After being divided equally, each person does not have much in his hands.
The local team members on the ship used it, so they did not bother to continue upgrading, which delayed the opening of the map and coordinates.
Fortunately, Li Mu sent him some wooden boards, reminding him to upgrade a ship to level 4. Pei Hong quickly replied, thanking him for the reminder. He had not thought of this problem in a hurry.
Because his own ship was relatively large and the design was rather special, it was not easy to add a roof. In the end, he chose Fang Yueyi's ship to upgrade to level 4. Pei Hong subsidized some of the materials, and Fang Yueyi and the others also provided some.
Xu Ziyan took the construction hammer and successfully upgraded the ship in two hours. Pei Hong told them how to find the map and coordinates, and then entered the coordinates sent to them by Li Mu.
They found that this pirate's lair was not too close to them. According to their current ship speed, it would take seven or eight days to reach there manually.
Li Mu was actually closer to that place. If the driving equipment was turned on, it might only take a day or so to get there. He made an appointment with Pei Hong and the others to meet near the dungeon in eight days. Qiao Sheng and the others did not rush over, but leisurely floated around the area, keeping an eye on the map at all times, and headed towards the agreed location in six days.
Although they had some free time, it was not easy to fight the pirates twice a day. The rest of the time they were mainly fishing and collecting supplies. They also checked all the places on their ship to see if they had been reinforced. They did find some corners.
After the ship was packed up, they made a large number of arrows, prepared a lot of artillery shells, and checked the trajectory of the artillery to make sure there would be no problems.
They went around the pirates' lair three days in advance, and they realized that the closer they got to this place, the more pirates they would encounter.
Before, when they were more than a day away from here, they could encounter two groups of pirates every day, but when they got closer to this place, it became four groups a day. It seems that it would be a waste of time for these pirates to go out and look for players.
After circling the pirates' lair island, they had to say that this place was indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack. There were cliffs on three sides, and the sea was below the cliffs. Only the south side of the entire island could allow pirates to enter and exit, so it was actually very difficult for them to attack.
Passing by from a distance and looking at the entrance to the south, it was obviously heavily guarded. On the contrary, there were no pirates on the other three cliffs. They squatted under the northern cliff for two days and did not see a single pirate.
While Pei Hong and his team were still on their way, Li Mu had already informed them of the situation here, and both sides studied the island.
Based on the firepower, they decided to let Li Mu and Qiao Sheng's boat hold back the pirates in the south, while Pei Hong led the fleet to go around the northern cliff to climb. During this period of time, they needed their strong firepower to attract pirates.
Pei Hong also said that as long as a player could climb to the top of the cliff, they could find a way to get the others up.
Li Mu said that when they arrived at the north, they would gather together. His animal team could be lent to Pei Hong. Ah Dai was definitely professional enough to fly to the top of the cliff and set the rope, which would make their cliff climbing plan more efficient.
After Li Mu caught two refrigerators full of fresh fish, Pei Hong led his large fleet and went around the side to the northern cliff. When the two sides met, they didn't care about the relationship and prepared to do the serious work first.
The leader of the group, Jiashazi, took the other four brothers to Pei Hong's ship. Qiao Sheng was left with only a half-grown Eagle and a little Diudiu who ate bamboo shoots every day. The two looked weak in combat now, and it was hard to say what they would be like in the future. According to what Li Mu had learned from the book, the two little guys who could only act cute now would definitely be extremely powerful in combat when they grow up, and should not be underestimated.
After arranging Pei Hong, Qiao Sheng and his team drove the ship around and arrived at the south of the island. At this time, there were indeed many pirates ready to board the ship to rob.
Qiao Sheng and his crew didn't even waste time talking. When they arrived at the destination, they stopped the boat. Lin Haiyang and Xia Beibei pushed out the cannons, and Qiao Sheng and Li Mu started to ignite them. This crazy bombardment directly paralyzed the southern entrance and exit, and many pirates who had already boarded the ship were directly blown away.
Just when Qiao Sheng and his crew thought that they had overestimated this group of pirates and that they might be able to easily handle it without calling Pei Hong, the difficulty of the five-star + copy appeared.
Many pirates running out of the island with catapults actually looked different from those they usually met, and were obviously more well-trained. There was also a man holding a Western sword, directing the pirates to throw stones at Qiao Sheng and his crew's ship.
Other players' ships might be easily broken by these boulders, but Qiao Sheng's ships were all reinforced, and the consumed iron products played a role at this moment. The boulders at most left a little mark on the ships. It
took five or six hits to make a crack in the same place, but Li Mu and Lin Haiyang had supplies in their backpacks and built hammers in their hands to repair it.
More importantly, the pirates' accuracy was not that high, and they could not hit the same place every time.
Xia Beibei took over Li Mu's torch and followed Qiao Sheng to fire the cannon. In comparison, the pirates on the island suffered greater losses.
The commander with the sword on the island soon discovered the problem and tried to communicate with Qiao Sheng and the others through a loudspeaker, but the four people on the boat ignored them and just kept firing shells.
Only when they were reloading the shells did the other side have a chance to resist. At other times, they all hid in a safe area and no one dared to approach.
"People on the boat outside, can we talk about whether we have offended you? I apologize to you on behalf of the brothers on the island, or you can ask for any compensation you want. Isn't it too much to come here and bomb the island indiscriminately like this?" The commander with the sword was unwilling to give up. While Qiao Sheng and the others were loading shells, he shouted again through the loudspeaker.
"Don't say so much useless things. Why didn't you think about distinguishing right from wrong when your ship went out to rob people at sea? How many people did you kill? Do you need me to count them one by one? Since you dare to do it, you must be able to bear it. This world can't let you cover the sky with one hand!" Lin Haiyang was sent out to make a speech, and his use of idioms made people feel a little awkward.
The commander on the opposite side immediately said that only some people did it, and most of the people on the island were civilians, not all pirates. No matter how pitiful they were, they could say whatever they wanted. Anyway, after a round of explanation, Qiao Sheng and his men were completely evil people.
"Hey, I have such a bad temper, do you think we are blind? Is that a pirate flag on your island? Is that a tattered thing on the shore a pirate ship! Don't play word games with me, even civilians are members of a pirate organization! Even if they don't have blood on their hands, they are serving those bloody pirates. You can't have it all!" Xia Beibei got angry when he heard what the other party said, and couldn't help but directly retorted.
After he finished speaking, he started to ignite, and the next second the shell flew out, just exploded near the commander. If he hadn't been better at fighting, his intestines would have been blown out.
This time, he completely annoyed the other party.
Qiao Sheng and his team kept firing cannons to cover Pei Hong's team members who were climbing the northern cliff. The male commander holding the sword disappeared from their sight. Half an hour later, he brought pirates with him and pushed more than a dozen cannons, aiming at Qiao Sheng and his team's ship.
This situation was a bit tricky. Their ship could withstand the stones thrown by the catapult, but it was hard to say whether the explosive cannons could withstand it.
They were a bit panicked for a while. Qiao Sheng had no choice but to ask Xia Beibei to fire the cannons faster, aiming at the direction where the opponent's cannons were parked, hoping to blow up their cannons before they could take action.
