Chapter 128 Attack
Holy crap!
Su Jin was so frightened that he almost dropped the nautical chart in his hand, and he spun the rudder so hard that he landed the ship sideways on the sea.
He looked closely and saw that a large hole had been smashed into the deck, and a rock was stuck in it. If it had been half a meter off, he would have been smashed into mincemeat by now.
"Grass!"
He cursed and instinctively swung the steering wheel wildly to the left.
This allows the ship to deviate from its original course, thus avoiding a pre-planned attack before it is clear what is attacking them.
Then, the laboratory hatch located below the aft deck was suddenly pushed open.
Lin Xuan emerged with messy hair, wearing a pair of crooked goggles, and clutching a beaker filled with blue liquid tightly in her hand.
She was working on a crucial step in refining sea monster oil when she heard a loud thud above her. Looking up, she saw a huge rock embedded in the ground above her, which almost hit her on the head.
Fortunately, the deck was sturdy enough to hold the stone in place, preventing it from being pierced through. Otherwise, she would be a meat pie by now.
"What happened? Brother Su, have we been attacked?!"
Before she could even ask what was going on, the front cabin door was also kicked open.
Sun Daqing scrambled out, still clutching the shovel he hadn't had time to put down.
He was humming a song while sorting through iron ore when the ship suddenly tilted, causing him to roll over. If it weren't for his body fat cushioning the fall, he probably would have suffered a concussion.
He was about to vomit while holding onto the side of the boat when he looked up and his gaze fell across the sea onto King Kong Skull Island.
The next second, his pupils contracted sharply, and he pointed to the sky, screaming, "Captain! The sky! Look up!"
Even without him shouting, Su Jin saw it.
On the cliffs of that island, a black dot was rapidly growing larger, tracing a parabola in the air, its target being their sailboat.
This rock is even bigger than the previous one; it's at least as thick as two adults huddled together.
If it were to crash down, it might just smash a hole through the bottom of the ship.
Of course, what Su Jin feared most was that the rock would hit the bow of the ship and destroy his guiding star torch, which would be terrible.
He didn't have that much time to find the materials again to build one, and they didn't even have the means to go back tonight.
"Hold on tight!"
Su Jin shouted and then slammed the rudder to the right, causing the ship to turn sharply again.
At the same time, he activated the Golden Dash skill, causing the ship to fly across the sea at an odd angle and at a bizarre speed, moving a short distance.
The huge rock just grazed the side of the ship less than two meters away and crashed into the sea.
The massive volume of water entering the water instantly created a wave five or six meters high, and seawater crashed down on Su Jin and his group.
"Splash—"
The three of them were instantly soaked to the bone, and the huge wave hitting them was incredibly painful.
Su Jin wiped the salt water off his face, spat out a piece of seaweed from his mouth, and looked extremely unpleasant.
Looking at Lin Xuan, who was also soaking wet, and Sun Daqing, who was clinging to the gun barrel and trembling, he could only think of the word "MMP" but didn't know whether he should say it or not.
This is too embarrassing. He has never been this embarrassed since he came to this world. Even when he encountered sea monsters, he was not this miserable.
These two boulders were clearly man-made, and once he calmed down a bit, he figured out what they were.
Catapults!
Without even thinking, it's this damn thing!
He turned to look at Skull Island and immediately saw a stone castle standing tall on a wide beach.
It's called a castle, but it's more like a large bandit hideout.
A few huge logs were haphazardly assembled into a wall, and on the terrace in the middle were three makeshift catapults that looked like they were about to collapse; it was unclear whether they could even throw ammunition a hundred meters away.
At this moment, a group of ragged people stood in the center of the terrace, trembling around a one-eyed, burly man.
"Useless! All of you are useless!"
The one-eyed, burly man, Mo Yuan, kicked the underling responsible for loading ammunition in the backside, spitting everywhere: "Such a big ship, such a big target! And you guys still managed to miss? Do you think I'm just keeping you around for free? Huh?!"
Mo Yuan looked extremely fierce, with a hideous scar running across his bald head from the top of his head to his chin.
The blind right eye was covered by a dirty black cloth, while a frightening glint flashed in the remaining left eye.
He carried a large cleaver that was visibly oozing blood, and his entire aura was like that of a demon straight out of hell—the effect of his talent, [Slayer].
The more he killed, the stronger he became. That blind eye was forcibly gouged out when he fought a second-tier sea beast one-on-one. In exchange, he chopped that sea beast into mincemeat.
"Exactly, if you can't even hit them, what's the point of having you guys?"
A tall, thin man standing next to Mo Yuan echoed him in a sinister tone.
He was dressed in a decent-looking windbreaker and wore gold-rimmed glasses; his refined appearance was completely out of place among this group of wild people.
This is Liang Zixuan, the second-in-command.
This guy isn't any better either.
Before transmigrating, he was a transnational arms dealer who specialized in reselling second-hand AKs in chaotic areas.
His talent is even more bizarre, a super-weakened version of the legendary "turning stone into gold"—"turning objects into stone".
If he wanted, the mud in his hands could instantly turn into granite, and even trees could be turned into stone.
He and Mo Yuan hit it off immediately; one was in charge of killing, and the other was in charge of burying.
Mo Yuan was in charge of military suppression, while Liang Zixuan was in charge of infrastructure and defense. He could even cast the "Stone Skin Technique" on his subordinates, making them tough and pain-resistant.
With this combination of tactics, the two quickly dominated the entire island.
There were originally 18 unlucky guys on the island. Two of them were troublemakers who tried to rebel, but Mo Yuan hung them on the flagpole to dry in the wind.
Of the remaining 16, most joined them and became high-ranking individuals, becoming perpetrators like the two men. A small number, including women, naturally became victims.
They had no choice but to become slaves, working day and night, or being entertained from time to time, and would be severely beaten if they were not careful.
Dissatisfied? Refusing to comply?
The two mummified corpses on the flagpole met their end, and no one dared to utter a word of dissent.
It can be said that Mo Yuan and Liang Zixuan were kings on this island.
At this moment, Mo Yuan looked at the stylish two-masted sailboat on the distant sea, his single remaining eye filled with greedy light.
"That ship is absolutely gorgeous—if we had one, we could become pirates!"
"What bandits? Pshaw! There aren't even many of them, where are they going to rob anything?"
"What a pathetic territory this is, we might as well just give it up."
That's right, this stone fortress is actually his territory, a level 3 island building.
That's why others didn't dare to resist him, and didn't dare to show any hostility.
Because Mo Yuan could send them to see Grandmother with just a thought.
He licked his chapped lips, slammed the knife on the ground, and roared, "That ship, I want it! I'll take it from you today!"
"Change to special ammunition, attach the vines, and hook it over here for me!"
