Chapter 89: On the Hunt (Part Three)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Shan, who was in the Early Stage of Rank Three, dived into the sunken ship.
As soon as he left, Gao Yong took out a waterproof plastic bottle from his pocket and poured a pill into his mouth.
The moment the pill entered his mouth, Gao Yong’s face instantly flushed red. A tyrannical aura was released from his body, and the blood essence in his body rose!
“Come on, you b*stards, die!”
Gao Yong roared and struck out with his palms. He controlled the giant waves and sent them flying toward the two River-Turning Rats!
Under the effects of the pill, Gao Yong managed to withstand the attacks of the two River-Turning Rats.
When Gao Yong took the pill, the other members of the Wild Wave Company also took out a pill and stuffed it into their mouths.
These people’s faces instantly turned red, and their auras soared. Their abilities were incomparably close to that of an Early Stage Rank Three martial artist!
Under this explosive power, the River-Turning Rat was unable to hold on alone. It was beaten into a pulp. It squeaked and wailed, and its blood dyed the river red!
The other two River-Turning Rats were furious and tried their best to rush over to provide support. However, the Wild Wave Company members were currently in a state of explosive power, so they were held back.
Gu Shan swam into the sunken ship and quickly arrived in front of the cargo hold door.
He saw the cutter on the ground, the half-cut hatch, and the two missing people.
Gu Shan’s face was solemn as he tried his best to check his surroundings.
However, there was no sign of a fight breaking out!
He continued to carefully check the surroundings, but he still could not find any traces of his two subordinates. He gritted his teeth and picked up the cutting machine again to continue cutting the hatch!
As he cut, he vigilantly observed his surroundings.
He did not feel any remorse for losing his two subordinates. The first thing to do was to open the hatch and obtain the treasure!
In the darkness, the electric eel clone quietly watched Gu Shan cut the hatch and looked at the battle outside. This seemed to be the best time to attack Gu Shan… But Chu Lingjun didn’t move.
He carefully recalled everything that had just happened and came to a conclusion that Gu Shan was trying to lure him out!
Gu Shan continued to use the cutter because he wanted to open the hatch quickly. On the other hand, he was also luring the enemy in the dark to attack him!
Gu Shan had at least two trump cards waiting to be used!
One was like Gao Yong and the others outside, taking medicinal pills that could stimulate one’s power.
The other one was that he was a divine blood warrior!
That’s right!
Chu Lingjun had a deep impression of the divine blood gorilla who fought with Wu Daonan!
Those people were all divine blood warriors. As the second-in-command of the Wild Wave Company, how could Gu Shan not have a drop of divine blood?
This was Chu Lingjun’s bold guess, and it seemed plausible!
The members of the Wild Wave Company were desperate for benefits. As long as they sought power, divine blood would be first on the list!
Before he left, Gao Yong said, “If anything happens, use all means to protect
the loot.”
This sentence didn’t sound like much. However, if Gu Shan was a divine blood warrior, the meaning of this sentence would be much more profound!
This was also the fundamental reason why Gao Yong dared to send Gu Shan into the ship alone!
To be able to kill two of his Rank Two subordinates without them noticing shows that the strength of the enemy in the dark was definitely of a higher rank.
He wouldn’t possibly send Gu Shan alone to die, right?
Since Gu Shan was a divine blood warrior, it would be no problem to go alone!
The strength of an Early Stage Rank Three martial artist coupled with a medicinal pill that stimulated one’s potential and divine blood could definitely support him in going against a Late Stage Rank Three beast!
Moreover, in an environment like a shipwreck, the use of divine blood was very concealed, and the chances of being discovered were very low!
Chu Lingjun narrowed his eyes.
These guys were absolutely cunning!
Fortunately, he had thought about all of this before attacking. Otherwise, he would have fallen for the trap!
Now that the ball was in Chu Lingjun’s court, he decided to come up with something just as fun.
“Since he’s trying to lure me, I’ll wait till you cut open the hatch, get the treasure, and leave as quickly as possible!”
He can kill two birds with one stone!
At the thought of this, the corners of Chu Lingjun’s mouth twitched. ‘No one can be more sinister than me! I don’t fear anybody!’
Chu Lingjun immediately had the electric eel clone retreat quickly and get out of the shipwreck.
Then, with the help of the aftermath of the battle between the Wild Wave Company and the River-Turning Rat, he quickly left.
The electric eel clone moved like lightning and soon arrived at a river bend.
He saw that the spiritual energy was dense. It seemed that there were a large number of aquatic beasts resting here.
On the muddy river bank in the distance, there were a lot of deadly looking logs quietly resting!
He was in the territory of the Copper-Headed Crocodile King — one of the Four Tyrants!
Lianjiang was huge, and the Four Tyrants of Lianjiang each occupied different parts of the river.
Under normal circumstances, exotic beasts wouldn’t casually barge into the territory of other beasts.
Now that the Sabertooth Viperfish and the Iron-backed Golden Turtle had been eaten by the electric eel clone, Chu Lingjun could only come to the Copper-Headed Crocodile King for help!
Bolts of lightning shot out from the electric eel clone, striking the crocodiles and the mutated beasts on the river bank!
Instantly, the quiet river water boiled, and foam rolled over the land. These strange beasts all twitched and roared in anger.
The quiet night was instantly torn apart by the angry roars of beasts!
A large number of enraged beasts charged at the electric eel clone with fury eyes!
Chu Lingjun chuckled and ordered the electric eel clone to slow down and maintain a close distance before continuing to discharge electricity.
The beasts following behind twitched in anger, and they wanted to rush up and tear the electric eel into pieces!
Fortunately, the electric eel clone had lightning skills, so these exotic beasts could not catch up at all!
Soon, the electric eel clone drove the large group of beasts to the shipwreck, and the electric eel clone turned into a shadow and immediately fled!
These exotic beasts immediately noticed Gao Yong and the others not far away. The blood that dripped into the water immediately made them hungry for blood, and they pounced on the members of the Wild Wave Company in bloodlust and ecstasy.
Gao Yong and the others were taken aback when they saw the sudden appearance of a large beast tide!
“What the hell?”
“What’s going on?”
“Aren’t those Copper-Headed Crocodile Kings? Aren’t they supposed to be resting in the river bend a few kilometers away?”
“How did they get all the way here? Why are there so many of them?” The sudden appearance of the situation almost caused the people from Wild Wave Company to falter.
However, while Gao Yong and the others were shocked, the mutated beasts weren’t!
“There’s nothing in the cabin!”
At this moment, a disheveled figure swam out of the sunken ship in panic.
His face was full of shock and fear, but also full of disbelief.. It was as if he had seen a ghost!
