Releasing a tiger back into the mountains will surely bring trouble; no, releasing a fish back into the sea will surely bring disaster! Sharks!
In his haste, he flung his left hand and threw all the pebbles in his hand at the pirate leader.
Perhaps because the sound of the waves was a bit loud, Hong Xiaoduo didn't hear any screams coming from ahead, but she could see the guy who was dragging one leg as he ran collapsing forward.
The five pirates beside her were also lying on the ground, still moving, so they were probably not dead. However, Hong Xiaoduo was now very confident that they had lost their ability to fight.
She was now eager to find out the condition of the pirate leader, so she hurried over and found him lying face down on the beach, his body seemingly convulsing.
This is supposed to be the King of Hell? A sea turtle would be a more fitting description!
Hong Xiaoduo was about to turn the person over to check when she saw a dark figure suddenly stand up in front of her and run quickly towards a small boat that could be vaguely seen. As she ran, she shouted loudly at the sea: "The boss is dead! Second boss, get out of here if the wind gets too strong!"
The sound was so loud that Hong Xiaoduo heard it clearly. She took out a pebble and let it go, watching as the dark figure collapsed beside the small boat and struggled to climb onto it.
By this time, Hong Xiaoduo had reached the small boat and looked up at a large ship moored not far away. People were bustling about on the ship, probably having heard the warning and weighing anchor to prepare to leave.
Hong Xiaoduo remembered what the pirates who had just warned the big ship had shouted: "The second-in-command?"
Hong Xiaoduo was speechless. What kind of fake brotherhood was this?
There are quite a few people on the big ship, so why doesn't the second-in-command bring men down to rescue their leader?
Did he suspect there were imperial troops lying in ambush on the shore? Or had he been waiting for this opportunity all along, finally able to rise to power and become the leader?
Even if things remain the same, at least put on a show. Otherwise, what will your subordinates think? Aren't you afraid they'll become disheartened?
Hong Xiaoduo just complained to herself, anxiously watching the large ship about to leave.
He had only intended to deal with the pirate leader, but now that he saw there were still quite a few pirates on the big ship, including a second-in-command, he immediately felt it would be a waste to let these bad guys leave.
Looking down at the small boat at her feet, she knew that even if she dared to go to the big ship alone, what lay before her was not a calm lake or river, but the sea with waves rolling in. Even if she got on the small boat, she would not be able to row it safely to the side of the big ship.
Even if I can swim, I'm not confident I can swim across successfully.
Your lightness skill is impressive, but at this distance and height, I'm still not confident!
"Hey, you bunch of cowards, are you trying to run away? A bunch of grown men are afraid of a little woman like me? If word gets out, what will become of your reputation? Your boss and his men aren't going to help either? Are they really that disloyal?" Hong Xiaoduo shouted mockingly at the large ship.
The pirates on the large ship must have heard her, but no one paid any attention to her, and the ship slowly began to move.
"A bunch of cowards who only know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. It's no use that you can run away fast. You can run away for a while, but you can't run away forever. If you're so capable, then hide away and be a coward for the rest of your life." Hong Xiaoduo was furious.
He picked up a handful of pebbles and threw them at the big ship.
Such a large ship cannot be moved by small stones!
He touched the hilt of the sword, drew it out smoothly, and swung it wildly left and right at the large ship that he could see but could not touch.
"Calm down. They were able to escape, perhaps their fate wasn't over yet," Quan Jinghuai's voice came from behind, offering words of comfort.
These words did not appease Hong Xiaoduo; "What do you mean by not having exhausted their luck? What luck could they possibly have left after committing so many atrocities like arson, murder, and looting?"
Despite her anger, Hong Xiaoduo didn't really lose her temper. Watching the large ship getting further and further away, she angrily turned away and refused to look anymore.
"Tie them up and send them to the yamen at dawn, or maybe to General Mu's camp? Perhaps after interrogating them, we'll have a better understanding of their situation and have these men lead the way to their hideout." After saying this, Hong Xiaoduo felt a little better and shoved her sword back into its sheath.
Seeing this, Quan Jinghuai's lips twitched. He felt particularly sorry for the ancient sword at her waist. She didn't use it when fighting villains, but when she was in a rage, she would swing it at the air. If this sword had a spirit, she should seal it herself in the future so that she couldn't draw it when she wanted to use it!
Although it's a high-quality replica of the Thunderfire Sword, the swordsmith who forged it was quite skilled.
"Go back to your tent and rest. You don't need to worry about this place," Quan Jinghuai said quickly as he saw Hong Xiaoduo reach out to pull the pirates by the small boat.
She once again volunteered to do the most dangerous thing. If she were asked to do the cleanup again, Quan Jinghuai felt that he was of no use whatsoever except for teaching his seven disciples.
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo, who had already extended her hand, thought for a moment, withdrew her hand, and straightened up. "Then I'll really trouble you, Brother Quan. I'm going to rest now."
“Go,” Quan Jinghuai said.
Hong Xiaoduo really didn't stand on ceremony with him and headed straight for the tent.
As she passed the pirate leader, she paused, suddenly freezing in place. Perhaps Brother Quan had used acupressure on her?
That's good, at least he's behaving himself. Thinking this, Hong Xiaoduo continued walking towards the tent. She was quite envious of those martial arts masters who knew how to use pressure points. How awesome was that!
As I passed by the five pirates I had first encountered, I noticed that they were still able to move, but they were tied together with ropes.
Upon seeing her approach, the five bound pirates struggled in fear to move to the side.
Not to mention that I had never seen anyone so powerful before joining the pirates, even after all these years as a pirate, I have never seen anyone so powerful! She is so young, still a young woman, and I can't sense any martial arts aura from her at all.
When she fought the boss, they couldn't figure out her fighting style. When they faced her, they only saw her raise her hand and swing her whip, and she crippled them all in a few moves.
How could such a lowly maidservant manage to kill Yu Yanwang, the powerful and feared leader of merchant ships who had dominated the seas for many years?
Even if this gets out, people in the martial arts world probably won't believe it!
Seeing that they were all tied up, Hong Xiaoduo didn't stop and walked straight ahead.
Seeing that she had returned safely, Tian Shu, who was waiting outside the tent, quickly told his younger siblings inside.
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and nodded to Tian Shu before entering the tent.
"Mother, hug me." Yao Guang, who was in Fei Yan's arms, opened her eyes groggily and reached out to her.
Hong Xiaoduo reached out and took the little girl. She looked around and saw that all seven children, including Feiyan, were safe and sound.
"It's still early, go back to sleep. If you can't sleep, just lie down and rest." After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo led Yuheng and Feiyan back to their tent.
On the sea, the group of pirates who had been laughing and joking when they left the island were now all quiet...
