Chapter 794 - 154: Hunter and Prey
"Captain, during the time you were dining, the ’Gray Sparrow’ sailed out."
Bai Wuheng, having finished his meal and donned his white robe again, was taken aback by this news.
"Didn’t I tell you to send a warship to follow them?"
"That ’Gray Sparrow’ is too fast, we couldn’t keep up..."
"Did you spot any other suspicious ships?" Bai Wuheng asked again.
His subordinate shook his head, "Only a few scattered ships, not like they’re there for interception, more like surveillance ships."
Upon hearing this, Bai Wuheng exhaled a breath of foul air.
"This is bad."
"No ambush near the ports, proving they are determined to take out Han Zhan in the open sea."
"Tell me the direction his ship went. All ’White Camel’ fleet ships should follow, hoping it’s not too late."
Meanwhile, on the vast sea of the Water Planet, a fleet of warships appeared, forming a circle.
The Hunter seems to have found his prey.
"The old rule, whoever sinks this ship first gets the priority to choose the spoils!"
"Then pick in order of contribution from highest to lowest."
"No problem, right?"
In the distance, on the deck of a warship, a mix formed from a blob of dark green slime shouted loudly.
"Cut the crap and just do it!" On another warship, a starlight body emitting cosmic light cursed as he spoke.
"With so many of us, are we going to let him escape?"
"An SSS Level Talent Chef, thousands of water coins, and those items he got from the auction."
With every word he spoke, the greed on the faces of the captains and crew of the other battle-ready ships increased.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
"Sink him and let this young Level 1 Sea Area Adventurer know what keeping a low profile means!"
"Hahaha!"
The sky completely darkened.
Roaring waves began to rage, and even the drizzling rain from the sky turned into a downpour.
Dozens of warships appeared like beasts lurking in the darkness, and the lights on the ship heads were like the greedy, fierce eyes of beasts, illuminating a small sea area.
The encirclement shrank again!
"Gray Sparrow."
Han Zhan stood in the observation chamber, watching the changing sea ahead, face calm, neither joy nor sorrow.
"You deliberately leaked that you have an SSS Level Talent Chef at the trading market and deliberately completed large transactions from Bai Wuheng to provoke those eager people."
Shang Siteng stood beside Han Zhan, speaking.
"Indeed."
Han Zhan nodded slightly, "For those greedy who covet others, we need not be merciful."
"Those who kill will be killed by others."
Just didn’t expect, fishing with a straight hook, could hook so many fish.
Seems it’s been too long since there’s been a newcomer adventurer to give them a shock.
Who is the Hunter, who is the prey, it’s still uncertain.
"Sinking them gains Reputation Value."
"In this world, war and plunder, naval battles, are the main themes."
"So, all of you, enter a combat-ready state immediately."
"Let us, sink them!"
When this sentence is spoken from a vessel surrounded by dozens of warships, it must sound ridiculous.
But the speaker was Han Zhan.
And what he was controlling was the fully supplied and prime condition, "Gray Sparrow!"
With Han Zhan’s order, the fuel of the "Gray Sparrow" was filled to the maximum.
Inside the helmsman’s room, Gongyang Jin pushed the ship’s speed to the fastest.
On the ocean shrouded by night, as a giant wave crashed by and the lights restored illumination, the originally ’caged beast’ in the encirclement suddenly vanished!
"Captain, the target is gone!"
"Captain, the ship we locked on has disappeared!"
"It’s gone..."
On warships, such scenes appeared simultaneously.
"Impossible!"
"How could a ship just disappear like this? It must have used some special item to confuse the sight."
"Shrink the encirclement, don’t let it find a chance to escape through the gaps!"
Just as they issued orders, on a warship, standing on the top of the mast amid the heavy rain, holding a telescope scanning the sea surface, a lookout suddenly widened his eyes, exclaiming.
"I found them!"
"I found that ship!"
"It’s... chasing that giant wave! It’s hiding behind the giant wave!"
The turbulent waves of the night sea were evident, and the speed at which the giant wave crashed was far beyond average warships.
This ship, it can actually match the speed of moving waves?!
The more terrifying scene followed.
That ship, which the "Gray Sparrow" used the waves as cover to approach stealthily, only saw the rolling cannon on the "Gray Sparrow" deck spouting flames towards it.
"Careful, cannon fire incoming!"
"Don’t panic, my ship’s Ballast Stone can increase the ship’s Defense by 20%, it wants to make me a breakthrough point, it chose the wrong opponent!"
"After blocking this shell, get ready for counterattack!"
The captain of this warship had just finished speaking.
The "Gray Sparrow’s" shell had already struck the ship’s side wall.
Boom!
The intense firelight illuminated this sea area.
Within the firelight, countless dark seals of curses splattered like ink on all crew members and the ship.
Immediately, they were overwhelmed by numerous debuff effects.
The warship, that was planning to counterattack, didn’t even fire a single shell, and was cursed into oblivion, sinking into the sea!
Meanwhile, onboard the "Gray Sparrow," where Han Zhan was, everyone received a new prompt.
"Sunk Level 3 Sea Area ship ’Luofeng’, gained 2000 Reputation Value."
This scene froze all the warships that planned to besiege Han Zhan.
The gap, has been opened?
Wasn’t their carefully planned encirclement just a joke then?
Before they tasted failure, someone suddenly discovered that "Gray Sparrow" not only didn’t escape through the opened gap but instead turned back its direction.
"It’s... not escaping?!"
"It’s sailing back, what does it intend to do!"
"Could it... be planning to eliminate all our ships?"
When this thought emerged, an incredibly absurd feeling arose.
Crazy, truly crazy.
A Level 1 Sea Area Adventurer’s ship, with what means?
Very soon, Han Zhan’s actions told them the answer.
On the "Gray Sparrow" deck, another rolling cannon spewed fire.
This shell’s speed was so fast, it was beyond human perception.
In the instant the fire appeared,
A warship at a far distance facing "Gray Sparrow" exploded instantly with a bang!
In the shattered, exploded place, it even formed a small Black Hole, swallowing everything around, including seawater!
"Special Shells, another kind of Special Shell!"
"Damn it, how much benefit did he get from ’White Camel’?"
"Don’t be afraid, even if it’s Special Shells, a five hundred water coins price, here we have thirty-six warships, I don’t believe he can..."
Boom!
His voice abruptly stopped.
