Chapter 246

"What's that smell? So fragrant?" Qiao Sheng felt something was wrong while walking.

"What? I smelled it too, it smells so good, it seems like several kinds of flower scents are mixed together." Xia Beibei was like a puppy, sniffing and looking for the source. The one who

found the source faster than her was You Su. It was originally lying on Qiao Sheng's shoulder, but it rushed out in one step, and jumped to the flower cluster in front of Xia Beibei in a few moves.

Unexpectedly, it didn't go to smell the flowers, but stepped on the flowers randomly, crushed all the flowers, turned around, and used its hind legs to kick the soil on the ground to bury the shattered petals.

"What's wrong with Yousu? Doesn't he like these flowers? Do foxes think what we humans think smells good stinks?" Xia Beibei was confused by its sudden big move. She looked at Yousu not far away, then turned to ask Qiao Sheng behind her.

Qiao Sheng looked at You Su's movements and quickly checked his own condition. Sure enough, he had a slight poisoning debuff on his body. He took out a glass bottle of detoxification pills from his wrist bag and stuffed one pill into each person and animal: "We are poisoned, let's detoxify them first."

"No wonder Pei Hong is already fighting pirates over there, but we are just on an autumn outing here. It turns out that they have natural dangers here and are not afraid at all. We are lucky. It's a pity that we encountered these poisonous flowers. If it were Pei Hong and his people, they wouldn't have enough detoxification pills." Li Mu couldn't help laughing after eating the detoxification pills. It's true that if you stay in the game for a long time, you will encounter everything.

After the four people had finished detoxifying, they chose to continue walking. The detoxification pills produced by the game atlas not only had a detoxifying effect immediately, but also had a period of time to resist the invasion of toxins after taking them. Taking advantage of this period of time, they were completely able to destroy the poisonous flower bushes nearby.

This job was done entirely by the animals at home. With Su taking the lead, the cassock cub no longer went to pull up trees, but followed behind Su. When he found a poisonous flower bush, he would use a bear paw. It had big feet and could cause more damage when it stepped on it.

Xinxin and Baba were responsible for burying them with soil, forming a perfect assembly line. Qiao Sheng and the others followed behind, and Li Mu and Lin Haiyang would cut down a few trees from time to time.

After walking for a while, they finally got out of the forest. As for whether the poisonous flower bushes had been cleaned up, there was no rush. At most, they could take detoxification pills and go back. It was somewhat unnecessary to waste time looking for poisonous flower bushes.

After leaving the forest, they could see a group of buildings in the distance, that is, a group of small wooden houses. Many pirates gathered near the wooden houses, all holding weapons, standing in line, ready to go.

The one standing in the front should be the leader, who was still cheering on these pirates. It was nothing more than an enemy attacking and wanting to disrupt their peaceful life. This kind of thing could not be tolerated. Everyone had to take up arms and fight for themselves.

"This rhetoric is not as good as the pua of our team leader back then. These pirates really have never seen the world." Qiao Sheng covered his ears. It was really that the slogans shouted by the group of pirates were too loud.

Qiao Sheng and his men had no way to get closer, because there was a large open space outside the forest. If they wanted to get closer to the cabin, they would be easily discovered by so many people.

Li Mu took out the crossbow carts that he had packed and brought out, and with the large arrows, the distance was just enough and the attack power was just right. The pirates who were ready to support were attacked by a rain of arrows before they even left home. This was

due to the two crossbow carts controlled by Li Mu and Lin Haiyang, as well as the damage caused by the crossbows held by Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei. The cassock boys did not let them rush up, but waited on the spot.

The pirates were frightened by the rain of arrows and fled everywhere. Some hid in nearby cabins, and some who ran slowly were hit by arrows.

There were screams all around. Some brave pirates found a hidden place first, and then secretly observed. From the direction of the arrows, they quickly found Qiao Sheng and his companions standing outside the forest.

"The enemy is in the forbidden forest." The pirate who first discovered them immediately pointed out the location to his companions.

The leader who was the first to shout slogans also reacted quickly and immediately organized a suicide squad to attack Qiao Sheng and his companions.

Seeing that the other side had pointed at dozens of people and were about to run towards them after gathering, Xia Beibei said cheerfully: "Knock down half of them, and let the other half be played with by the cassock cubs, otherwise these guys will be scratching their heads in the back."

After that, the shooting of the other three people also began to deviate. After they let go, more than ten of the more than 30 pirates of the suicide squad really approached the forest.

Xia Beibei shouted loudly, "The toys are coming, the little ones, go ahead!" The cassock cubs and their little brothers came out of the forest.

Although these guys were still small in the eyes of Qiao Sheng and the others, the half-grown black bears and lions were also quite intimidating. The pirates of the suicide squad really turned around and started running back.

"What's going on? Aren't they the Suicide Squad? Why are they running back when they are right in front of us?" Lin Haiyang stuck his head out from behind the crossbow cart and shouted at the pirates.

The pirates were already panicking. The monks were treating them like toys. They ran at first, and then turned their heads and roared with their mouths wide open. Several pirates were frightened to the point of peeing.

The monks didn't bite off the pirates' necks, nor did they even reach out to knock them out. Instead, they immediately stayed away from the pirates who smelled of urine, and even imitated Qiao Sheng and the others' usual actions of covering their noses. They took a few steps back in disgust, and then went to tease other pirates.

Some pirates who heard Lin Haiyang's provocation stopped and rushed towards the monks with their weapons raised. The outcome was obvious. A man fighting a bear, even a minor, could not win.

The monks almost relied on clapping to stand up, and used its two front paws to swipe among the pirates. It didn't take long for all the pirates nearby to be knocked down. It was not certain whether they were dead or unconscious, but they all lay down.

It was inconvenient for Xin Xinbaba to stand up, so he pounced on them. A half-grown male lion pounced on them, and a normal person couldn't withstand it. A dozen pirates soon fell to the ground. The monks were obviously not satisfied. They looked at the pirates near the wooden house in the distance, and then turned their heads to look at Qiao Sheng.

Finding that the master had not issued an order for them to attack, he led his brothers back to the woods with his head down. This time he did not hide in the woods, but found a thicker tree and leaned against it.

After the cassocks finished fighting, Qiao Sheng and his men could not sit idle, and they shot at the pirates on the other side of the wooden house again.

This time, there was no need to let them go, and the hit rate was much higher. In order to expose the pirates, Li Mu and Lin Haiyang also specially shot the arrows of the crossbow cart at the wooden house. Two or three arrows could break the wall of a wooden house.

Gradually, the wooden houses where the pirates hid became ruins, and most of the pirates who had gathered before were also cleared out.

The remaining pirates were hiding in scattered places, and using crossbow carts and long-range crossbows was somewhat uneconomical, so they simply gave up long-range and prepared to switch to close combat. They

also went into the ruins of the wooden house to collect the arrows they had shot. They were very skilled at collecting arrows.

Li Mu put away the two crossbow carts, and he and Lin Haiyang took out bows and crossbows respectively. The four of them took the monks and walked through the ruins while designing.

The reason for the continuous attack was that they didn't want to give the pirates a chance to escape. When they got close, everyone dispersed. The monks were like fish in water, rushing up and attacking all the pirates. Qiao Sheng and his team originally wanted to kill all the pirates in close combat.

Later, they found that they didn't seem to need them. With a few monks, they were almost like guards. They only needed to find a high place to stand, holding long-range weapons, and attack the fleeing pirates at any time.

The battle ended quickly. Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang were responsible for collecting pirate tokens, while Qiao Sheng and Li Mu went to search for supplies in the wooden house. They had a great time attacking before, but now they were frustrated. In the end, searching was too troublesome, so they simply put all the wooden boards of the collapsed wooden house into their backpacks and emptied the backpacks when they found a vacant space.

The effect of doing this was quite significant. When Pei Hong and his team came over, the place was empty, and there was nothing on the ground except the pirate corpses.

Li Mu was in charge of receiving the collected supplies from Pei Hong, and then he realized that Pei Hong was also having a hard time. The pirates that Qiao Sheng and his team had cleared out were the last batch of pirates that were ready to provide support, and there were only a hundred or so pirates in total. There were no less than 500 pirates who had fought with Pei Hong and his team before. When

Pei Hong said this number, Li Mu believed it. When he was cleaning up the battlefield just now, he

had a rough idea of ​​how many wooden houses he had collected. When Pei Hong learned that Li Mu had encountered a cluster of flowers that could release toxins, he was not only scared, but if the two sides really switched positions, he and his team members might really die here.

His fleet had been busy in the game for a year, but not a single team member had produced a recipe for the detoxification pill.

However, he did have some finished products, which he exchanged with Li Mu and his friends. After getting the detoxification pills, he had thought about asking the team doctor to try to make them, but the effect was not good and a lot of Chinese medicinal materials were wasted, which made them feel bad. Later, he changed his mind and asked Li Mu to help him with the production after collecting enough Chinese medicinal materials.

Of course, the biggest problem is the small quantity. If they really went in that direction, they might really spend all the money they had saved during this period.

After settling the spoils of this island, they immediately returned to their ship in the direction they came from, preparing to look for the next large pirate island according to the coordinates recorded before.

When Qiao Sheng and his team were walking back, they deliberately found some poisonous flower clusters, picked the flowers and put them into empty glass bottles, tightened the lids, and put them into their bags. They also picked up some seeds. They had not encountered many poisonous plants after playing the game for so long, so they kept some for emergencies.

After returning to the boat, they first circled the island, gathered with Pei Hong's fleet, and then headed towards the next coordinates together.

This time, following the fleet, Qiao Sheng and his team could finally rest normally, without having to divide into morning and evening shifts. Pei Hong directly let their boats sandwiched in the middle, and the formation would be changed at night. The outer boats would be responsible for night watch. They had a good rest for two days, because they would still need their efforts when they arrived at the new island.

The two days of rushing were the best rest days for Qiao Sheng and his crew since they set fire to the pirate island. They did not have to stand guard or be on full alert. During the day, the fleet would surround the ships on guard in the middle. During this time, they would encounter pirates, and the outermost ships would fight with the pirate ships.

At night, the formation would be changed again, with the inside and outside switched, and the ships surrounded inside could rest well.

Qiao Sheng and his crew's ship never stayed outside during the whole process, and was protected the whole time.

"It's time to see the advantage of having more people. The four of us on duty can hardly make it, but look at this fleet, they can work in three shifts, it's so easy." Qiao Sheng stood on the terrace during the day, watching Pei Hong's team fighting pirates, and suddenly understood why Pei Hong was working so hard to expand the fleet.
