Chapter 255

On the day of the gathering, Qiao Sheng and his crew deliberately arrived a little later. When they arrived, everyone stopped 300 meters away from the Pirate Island, keeping a distance from Pei Hong's fleet.

A rough count showed that there were probably several hundred ships of players, but this number should not be all the players. The others did not know whether they did not want to come or did not make it on the way.

Pei Hong counted the ships and the number of players, while assigning tasks to each team. There were also those who wanted to make trouble, but Fang Yueyi and Jin Lan, one man and one bear, stopped them.

The personnel arrangement went smoothly. Pei Hong had discussed the strategy with Li Mu before. Because he did not know the situation on the island, he planned to let Shen Li take his team members, You Su and Ah Dai to go around the island first when they arrived.

After all, Shen Li and his team are very good at infiltration. Su and Ah Dai are very smart and are very skilled in gathering information, but they have no mouths. Every time they come back from gathering information, they can only point the way. Many times, we cannot fully understand what they mean.

This time, with a mouth and legs, this scout team should be able to bring back more information.

Qiao Sheng and his team had already circled the island and had a general understanding of the surrounding situation. There is a cliff in the northwest, and the forest next to it is connected, and they can go to the island from there.

When they first arrived, they let Ah Dai and Xiaoying go to the island for a walk to make sure that there were no guards in the forest there. Only then did Shen Li lead his teammates to dive in on the float board.

Although they were very careful, they were still seen by a thoughtful player. No one took it seriously until Shen Li asked for help. They were discovered by pirates and began to besiege. At this time, they were escaping in the woods and had been separated from their teammates. Only Yousu was with them. It was unknown whether Ah Dai and Xiaoying followed other teammates or flew away on their own. They were nowhere to be found.

The sudden situation caught the players off guard. The news quickly leaked out, and everyone knew that the players on the island were in danger.

Li Mu went to Pei Hong's ship to discuss countermeasures. Qiao Sheng stood at the bow, wondering what he was thinking.

"Sister Qiao, it's quite cold outside. Let's go into the cabin to cool down. I guess when Teacher Li comes back, we have to rescue Yousu and the others." Xia Beibei reached out and gently touched Qiao Sheng's arm.

"Beibei, don't you think something is wrong? Shen Li and Yousu sneaked over quietly. People who weren't watching them would not notice them at all. But how did the pirates find out 300 meters away? Ah Dai would definitely go up and patrol before going to the island. Logically, they shouldn't be found so soon. The strangest thing is that Yousu and Ah Dai separated!" Qiao Sheng looked at so many players in front of him and felt that too many people might not be a good thing.

Not long after, Li Mu came back from Pei Hong's boat. After getting on the boat, he asked Qiao Sheng and the other three to pack up. Fang Yueyi would go to the island with them in a while. Don't bring the cassock cub. There are few people on their boat, so leave it to guard the house and take Xinxin and Baba to the island.

After all, the two are getting bigger and bigger now, and they look scary. They can roar and show their teeth. They only act cute and show their belly to ask for touch in front of Qiao Sheng and others.

Fang Yueyi quickly rowed the boat close to their boat. Several people who had been prepared got on her boat immediately. Li Mu, Xu Ziyan and Lin Haiyang, three men, took the oars and began to row the boat.

Because there was no guidance from Ah Dai, Qiao Sheng and others could only observe in different directions, for fear of being discovered by the pirates on the island.

Li Mu also had to contact Shen Li who was busy escaping on the island. In short, everyone was very busy.

"Oh my God, I haven't rowed a boat like this for a long time. I'm going to be exhausted. I have to give myself a snack tonight." Finally, when they rowed near the woods, Lin Haiyang stopped rowing and kept patting his tense arms.

Before they got to the island, they saw a little eagle flying in the sky. Li Mu whistled, and the little eagle immediately flew to his outstretched arm and put him on his left shoulder. Then they saw a player sitting under a tree not far from the forest. He

looked injured, with obvious blood stains on his cotton jacket, and was leaning against the tree with his abdomen covered.

None of them had seen this person except Shen Li, so they were not sure if this person was Shen Li's teammate. At the moment, only the little eagle could recognize him. Fortunately, this guy had trained Ah Dai since he was a child so that he could understand human language, so they were sure that this person was Shen Li's teammate.

Qiao Sheng and his team jumped off the boat and rushed over to check the situation. When they got there, they found that the injuries were more serious than they thought. Not only was the abdomen injured, but there were also wounds of varying degrees on other parts of the body. The most important thing was that the person had fallen into a coma.

Li Mu quickly took out the Baibao Pill from his wrist bag and fed him the medicine first. Replenishing the health bar was more important than anything else.

It was really too late to bandage him, so he could only let Xu Ziyan take Lin Haiyang and row the boat to send him back. Li Mu also specifically reminded him to hand the person over to Pei Hong first, and not to let him return to his own fleet.

After watching Xu Ziyan and the others rowing away in the boat, Qiao Sheng couldn't help but ask, "Did you find something wrong?" Otherwise, it would be better to send this man back to his own fleet, not to mention that it was just a wounded person, so there was no need for two grown men to escort him together.

"Well, something is not right. It has been so long, and the road that Ah Dai found has basically never had any problems, not to mention that Su was following. At that time, I was afraid of accidents, so I let the two of them go together, but I didn't expect something to happen." After Li Mu finished speaking, he patted the little eagle on his body and signaled it to lead the way.

The little brother brought by Ah Dai was still quite reliable in finding the way. He knew to stop and wait for them along the way. I don't know if these animals have any way of communication. They found Shen Li very quickly.

"Hey? You're not injured? You're so strong? You managed

to escape unscathed?" Fang Yueyi was surprised and circled around Shen Li twice, only then was she sure that he really wasn't injured at all. "What injuries? We split up when we saw the pirates, and this fox led me to roam around in this forest without encountering any pirates." Shen Li's mind followed Fang Yueyi, not understanding what she meant.

"Your little brother was almost killed. When we saw him, he was almost ripped open. So you're not injured, Sister Fang is very surprised." Xia Beibei also helped to explain.

After knowing the reason, Shen Li immediately started to send messages to the two team members, and did not forget to explain to them that he had found a place to hide before sending the message to Li Mu. Later, he also contacted the two team members. At that time, they were all contacted, and no one said they were injured, so he did not react. Not

long after the message was sent, Shen Li received a reply, saying that he was hiding, but he could not tell the location and could not report the exact location.

Li Mu asked Shen Li to ask the other party if he had seen a snowy owl, and he could find them by following the snowy owl.

The reply from the other end was enough to make Shen Li's nose crooked, saying that the snowy owl had been affecting his escape. He was clearly running south, but it squeezed him to the west. This happened several times before he got lost.

Shen Li ordered him to follow the Snow Owl. Half an hour later, they saw Ah Dai flying low in the woods and the players running breathlessly.

Qiao Sheng knew at a glance that Ah Dai was angry, otherwise he would wait for people when he led the way. How could he let people be abandoned like this?

"Captain, this big white bird did it on purpose. It flew so fast that I was exhausted." Wu Qun sat on the ground, panting and complaining.

"Shut up, how did I bring you here? I forgot that your brain is not working well. I borrowed this from someone specially! It's a snowy owl that is specially used to explore and lead the way! But you don't believe it can go by itself. If it hadn't pointed you in the right direction, you would have gone to the pirate house long ago!" Shen Li felt a headache when he looked at his team members.

After educating the team members, he turned around and explained to everyone that he had not expected to encounter such a thing. These two team members were not the team members who often infiltrated with him before. Those two were deputy team members who were in charge of more things. He thought that he was just going in to get some information and it was not a big deal, so he left the two deputy team members to take the lead and brought two newcomers with good skills out.

"I really didn't expect it. His limbs are quite developed, but his mind is indeed simple." Shen Li said helplessly at the end. Wu Qun, who had just caught his breath, felt quite aggrieved.

However, the captain still had some intimidation. With a look from Shen Li, Wu Qun didn't say anything.

As soon as he said this, Ah Dai, who was squatting on Qiao Sheng's shoulder, suddenly took off and flew towards the shore. Qiao Sheng and his friends reacted quickly and followed immediately. Wu Qun was still sitting on the ground, and Shen Li pulled him up before he could barely keep up with the main group.

They ran fast and didn't realize that not long after they left, dozens of pirates had rushed to the place where they were resting.

Several people rushed to the shore as fast as possible, just in time to catch up with Xu Ziyan and Lin Haiyang who were rowing back in the boat. After getting on the boat, everyone took out the oars from their bags and started rowing frantically. After the

boat was a distance away from the shore, many pirates gathered on the shore, shouting something at them loudly, and some even drew their bows and shot arrows at them.

Qiao Sheng and Fang Yueyi stood at the stern, holding the oars in their hands and began to prepare to meet the pirates' arrows. Fortunately, the pirates' accuracy was not very good, and Li Mu and his team rowed quickly, and soon they were far away from the pirates' shooting range.

After confirming that the pirates could not cause them any harm, the eight people rowed the boat with peace of mind. After a while, they returned to the gathering place of the players. None of them returned to their own boats, but boarded Pei Hong's wooden boat together.

"What's the situation? The person is in the cabin, and someone is guarding him now. He has been bandaged up, but he hasn't woken up yet." When the people got on the boat, Pei Hong hurried out and asked impatiently.

Li Mu repeated the situation just now, and led by Pei Hong, everyone entered the cabin together.

"The players outside have been appeased. Now we have to wait for the information on the island to be reported back before deciding on the next move." Pei Hong took the copper kettle from the stove and asked the team members to bring cups over, pouring a cup of hot water into each person's cup.

When they got the cups, they saw that it was tea. "Let's not be too particular. There is no purple clay teapot for making tea. Let's drink it together." Pei Hong urged everyone to drink some hot water to warm up their bodies.

Another team member of Shen Li was taken to the cabin with the injured. When there was no one else in the room, Li Mu began to ask questions, focusing on Shen Li's two team members.

From when the other party joined the fleet, to their usual situation, to whether Shen Li had added them as friends and could contact them, all the questions were asked, and there was no flaw,

so everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought. "If we are sure that someone sent a message to the pirates, which exposed the whereabouts of Shen Li and his team, how did that person contact the pirates? After all, with so many eyes watching, no one was seen approaching the pirate island." Qiao Sheng broke the silence. Since he couldn't get an answer by thinking hard, he might as well start by asking questions and checking them out bit by bit.

From Shen Li's friend system, it can be concluded that his two teammates are players. If they are players, then how can they contact the pirates is a question.

"Could it be that pirates have infiltrated our organization? Which ship is hosting pirates?" Xia Beibei hugged You Su and began to expand her thinking.

"Or the pirates have some way to control the players, otherwise they would not be discovered as soon as they landed on the island, especially when Ah Dai explored the way. Our Ah Dai has never made any mistakes in this regard." Lin Haiyang immediately vindicated the family members and absolutely could not let Ah Dai's reputation be damaged.

The result of the discussion was that they fell into anxiety. After all, guessing was not accurate. The final solution was that Shen Li and Li Mu stayed with the two team members for a while and asked more questions.

Pei Hong went to find the captains of other fleets and gathered them to do a population survey to ensure that every player had to be checked.

After the discussion, Li Mu stayed behind, while Xu Ziyan rowed a small boat to send Qiao Sheng and his two companions and their animals back to the boat first, and then took Fang Yueyi back to his own boat.

During this period, there were still fleets of players approaching this place, so Pei Hong arranged for someone to be responsible for the reception. The receptionist must add the captain of the fleet as a friend and make sure there is no problem before sending them.

Qiao Sheng returned to the boat and continued to prepare for the battle. The group of strong pirates he had just seen had a low winning rate in close combat. In the end, they still had to rely on long-range attacks from crossbow carts and artillery, and they still had to prepare more gunpowder and large arrows.

Li Mu was so busy that it was late at night, but he didn't come back. Qiao Sheng gave him a warning, confirmed that Pei Hong had prepared food for him, and reminded him to take the two children to bed early, because he hadn't finished his work and didn't know when he would be back. It wasn't their turn to keep watch, Pei Hong had already made arrangements.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Li Mu came back to the boat, just in time for lunch. He was given bowls and chopsticks, and he was showing off. Fortunately, Lin Haiyang had cooked a lot recently, so that if he got busy later, he could just grab some and eat. After

eating and drinking, Li Mu said that he had finished the investigation with his two dark circles under his eyes. Sure enough, too many players were like a sieve, with many loopholes and thieves, and everyone was right, it was a situation of internal worries and external troubles.

It turned out that there was a small fleet with two pirates. They were found out by adding friends and sending emails. After all, pirates are NPCs and don’t have a game system. Although

Shen Li and his two teammates had joined his fleet for quite a while, they were picked up on the road. After a lot of threats and inducements, they finally told the truth. It turned out that these two were here to be spies. They were players, but they were caught by pirates.

Both of them had relatives detained on this pirate island, so they were forced to be undercover. The injured player was Zhou Li. His sister was trapped on the island. The reason he was injured was because he wanted to use this opportunity to inform the pirates to exchange his sister out. Unexpectedly, these pirates went back on their word and almost killed him in order to teach him a lesson.

Wu Qun was a childhood friend who was detained on the island. This time he also saw his childhood friend and confirmed that there was no problem. In addition, the pirates gave up Zhou Li and had to capture Wu Qun, which allowed him to escape unscathed.

As for Ah Dai who had been following Wu Qun, he witnessed the whole process, but he couldn't tell what happened, so he kept tormenting him.

"Sure enough, our Dai is the best! Sister Beibei will reward you with two green bean cakes!" Xia Beibei heard that Ah Dai was so smart, so she hurried over to praise him.

Since all the spies and spies have been caught, they can go to the island to investigate the situation without any worries. The island is so big, and it is impossible to be discovered in the first place without anyone notifying them.

This time, the task of going to the island to investigate was assigned to Qiao Sheng, Fang Yueyi and Xu Ziyan, a total of six people. The best forest route was already known to the pirates, and it was unlikely to go this way again. They could only choose the most difficult other route, which was to climb the cliff and then sneak into the island.

Because this task was more difficult, and Li Mu did not sleep all night, they moved the time of going to the island to the evening, so that he could sleep well in the afternoon, and then row the boat to the northwest of the island after the sun went down.
