Chapter 412 Black Sails Return

Seeing the foundation-building cultivator named Luo, he called him to get on board.

Qin Ming once again examined the black wrecked ship and asked hesitantly, "Fellow Daoist Luo, are you sure this ship can take people to the Southern Wasteland?"

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qin! This boat is famous for its speed in this area!"

"You shouldn't have any problems going to the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World." The cultivator named Luo explained enthusiastically.

"Isn't it sinking fast?" Qin Ming curled his lips, a little bit unable to hold back, "Are there no other boats?"

at this time.

"Hey! What are you doing? Are you guys going to leave or not?"

"If you don't come up, I'll leave!"

"he~tui~"

The captain standing at the bow howled at the top of his voice towards the island, and then spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into the sea.

Seeing this, the Luo family members quickly responded, "Senior Shi Qian, we need to take a boat! We'll be there soon!"

Afterwards, the monk surnamed Luo urged Qin Ming, "Senior Lu, hurry up and get on the boat. This is the only boat that can go out to sea on Xiaogui Island."

Qin Ming: “.”

Seeing this, Qin Ming had no choice but to be half-believing and half-doubting and followed everyone onto the boat.

After getting on board, Qin Ming was shocked to find that each and every crew member on the ship was ferocious and full of bloody murderous aura.

What surprised him even more was that many of the crew members were not human monks.

Each of these people had a sea beast's head, but their lower body was no different from that of humans, with gills growing on both sides of their necks.

There were even quite a few skeleton-like ghosts working inside the boat.

These crew members with strange and bizarre appearances have cultivation levels of around the second level.

The passengers and monks on the ship were obviously not surprised by this and were used to it.

When the monk surnamed Luo saw Qin Ming, it seemed that this was his first time to take a boat to Little Turtle Island, so he smiled and explained:

"Senior Lu, you may not know that the crew members on this Black Sail are all from the fishmen of the East China Sea."

"Master the art of controlling water."

"So that's how it is. But why is the Black Sail so leaky?" Qin Ming suddenly realized and secretly sighed that the cultural customs and practices of the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world were indeed very unique and strange!
But the next moment.

The bearded captain put away his pipe and put it on his belt. In addition to the pipe, he also had a long sword hanging on his belt.

The captain of the ship put on a wicked smile and walked towards the few people.

"Junior! Is this your first time here? Do you have the Black Sail Order? Otherwise hehehehe!"

His hand was on the long knife at his waist, and his sharp eyes fell on Qin Ming.

"Oh! This old guy is more arrogant than me. Master, let him out and teach him a lesson!" The Sky-Eating Rat seemed unable to bear it anymore, and sent a message to Qin Ming in the Small Spirit Realm, looking eager to try.

"How dare these scumbags threaten the master!"

"Just be patient, I'll take a look at what's going on first." Qin Ming was not afraid. He took out the black wooden token that Yue Lingyan gave him from his storage bag and handed it to the other party.

The captain took the token and injected a magical power into his hand. Immediately, a black sail shadow appeared on the black wooden token.

He grinned and said, "Since I have issued the Black Sail Order, you are our distinguished guest. Everything will be easy to discuss."

"But you must remember this!"

"I'm Shi Jin. Our Black Sail's main business is piracy, and our sideline is sailing."

"I'm honest and trustworthy. As long as the price of spirit stones is right, I can crush you even if you are in the Golden Core stage, not to mention long-distance sailing!"

"It's just the Southern Wilderness Immortal Cultivation World. I can deliver it to you in half a year!"

Qin Ming: “.”

After all this time of trying to figure it out, this is actually a pirate ship?

But since it was Yue Lingyan who introduced her, there shouldn't be any big problems, so he chose to believe her.

"Hehe! Sir, if you sail from Little Turtle Island to the sea near the Southern Wasteland, I will give you 8,000 middle-grade spirit stones!"

The shirtless boy next to him, who looked like a skinny monkey, took out a straw hat from behind his neck and stretched it in front of Qin Ming.

Qin Ming's face twitched when he heard this, "So expensive?"

However, he still took out all the spirit stones and handed them over to the other party.

The skinny boy counted the spirit stones carefully several times, then happily put them into his straw hat and put it away.

Even Qin Ming was stunned and said in amazement, "I didn't expect this thing to be a storage device."

"Sir, you may come in."

"But please be careful not to run around. Our ship will not be responsible if anything goes wrong."

The skinny boy might have earned so many spirit stones at one time, and he was in a good mood and advised Qin Ming.

Qin Ming nodded and followed the monk surnamed Luo and others into the cabin.

"Weigh the anchor! Set sail!!!"

Following a loud shout, there was the sound of creaking wood and the collision of black chains.

Blah blah blah!

Under the hard work of many merman crew members.

The Black Sail slowly sailed into the sea.

But soon after the ship started sailing, a lot of seawater leaked into the ship.

Then he plunged fiercely and quickly sank into the sea.
"It really sinks quickly."

Qin Ming just found a seat by the window and sat down, but what he didn't expect was

Not long after the Black Sail sailed into the sea, the captain of the ship, who was in the Jindan stage and was named Shi Jin, took out a black bead and began to perform a ritual.

After counting the interest.

Black runes burst out from the black bead, swirling out and covering the entire ship.

next moment.

The runes on the periphery of the Black Sail intertwined and connected into a curtain of light.

"Ow~"

The entire ship seemed to be wrapped in the shadow of an extremely large black shark.

"It's actually a late third-order demon soul. This Shi Jin is really something!" Qin Ming thought to himself as he looked outside.

Immediately, the crew members of the merman tribe began to exert their strength with a "hey hey hey" sound, and the Black Sail actually swam in the seabed like an extremely agile black shark.

The speed was so fast that Qin Ming was simply amazed.
'Compared to the merchant ships of the large companies in the Great Jin Dynasty, this is many times faster.'

'It turns out that by sailing in this way, you can completely avoid all kinds of storms on the Black Sea.'

Qin Ming is also very experienced.

……

……

One month later.

Qin Ming sat cross-legged in the cabin, closing his eyes and practicing meditation.

The Black Sail shuttled through the deep sea, and the speed of this ship was really fast.

But the main business of this Black Sail is piracy. Every now and then, it would surface on the sea to rob passing merchant ships.

A lot of time was wasted indeed.

Fortunately, there was no trouble along the way. Qin Ming observed along the way and found that Shi Jin, a pirate in the Jindan stage, was quite principled.

Generally speaking, if a monk on a robbed ship is sure to lose money to avoid disaster, he would still save his life.

Of course, if he meets someone who is stubborn and only values ​​money over life, he will be ruthless and will kill him without hesitation.

If they meet someone in the same industry, they will start fighting without saying a word.

This group of pirates who live on the edge of a knife have been able to roam the Black Sea for so many years. They have their own abilities and ways of survival.

This day.

Shi Jin and his crew of fishmen successfully robbed another fishing boat and returned to the cabin in high spirits. The group of people were making loud noises, drinking and eating meat.

Qin Ming was no longer surprised by this.

"Senior Lu, we are about to reach the Crab Island where we are going, so we will take our leave first." The cultivator named Luo came with several family members to say goodbye to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming smiled slightly, "Then I won't see you off, Brother Luo, we'll meet again if we're destined to."

"Haha! Take care yourself, Senior Lu." The cultivator named Luo bowed, exchanged some greetings, and left the room with his clansmen.

Then, the Black Sail slowly began to surface.

Qin Ming walked onto the deck to get some fresh air.

Not far from his sight, a small group of islands dotted around appeared.

"My dear Lu, are you used to being on the boat? Hehehehe!"

Shi Jin also walked to the bow to look out the wind, smoking his pipe and asking Qin Ming with a smile.

"Haha! To reply to Senior Shi, I have gotten used to my life quite well." Qin Ming also responded with a smile.

"This voyage went quite smoothly. We estimate that we will reach the Southern Wilderness in another three months." Shi Jin said.

Just as the monk surnamed Luo and his companions were preparing to disembark.

Shi Jin's face, which had just been smiling, suddenly changed!
His eyes were extremely sharp, and his nose suddenly moved, and he smelled an extremely strong smell of blood!
It was obvious that a large-scale fight had taken place nearby, resulting in the deaths of many monks.

Qin Ming's spiritual power was extremely powerful, so he naturally discovered the abnormality a long time ago.

Later, he discovered that in the water more than a hundred miles away, there was also a pirate ship, wrapped in a giant lizard's light curtain, and was rapidly rushing towards the Black Sail.

The speed is even faster than the Black Sail.

The reason is that there are four handsome seahorses walking on the waves in front and behind the ship, and they are all second-level monsters.

On this ship, there were two Jindan-stage cultivators, whose cultivation auras were at the early and middle stages respectively.

And on the ship, there were also strange-looking fish-men crew members.

The monk named Luo on the bow deck of the Black Sail took out a magic boat and was about to leave with his people.

"Wait! If you don't want to die, get back here!"

Shi Jin shouted wildly at the few people, and then gave an order very decisively:
"Everyone! Get ready to fight!"

"Everyone, grab your weapons!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!
A dark red ship, slightly larger than the Black Sail, emerged from the sea.

Rumble!
From the enemy ship, dozens of psychic cannons bombarded the Black Sail.

The Black Sail's protective formation was also fully activated, barely able to withstand this wave of attacks.

"It's the Lou family's twin demons!"

Looking at the bow of the opposite ship, there were two scarred men who were almost identical in both build and face, exuding the terrifying aura of Jindan monks.

The monks on the boat cried out in surprise and looked terrified.

Even the fierce Shi Jin showed a rare solemn expression.

However, one of the two Lou demons on the opposite side had a talisman that could break the ban appear in his hand, and he mobilized his magic power to release it towards the Black Sail.

The black ban-breaking talisman swelled in the wind and transformed into a pitch-black light curtain that fell onto the protective formation.

puff!

The protective magic circle surrounding the Black Sail shattered and turned into bubbles and dissipated.

"Guys, kill them all!"

Countless rays of light took off, spells roared, and rushed towards the Black Sail like an overwhelming force.

The monks of the Black Sail also took out their magic weapons and fought with the pirates on the opposite side.

The two Lou family demons who had been watching covetously from the side also took action, emitting a huge spiritual pressure and fighting with Shi Jin.

Although Shi Jin was a tough, brave and experienced fighter, he was ultimately no match for four hands with two fists, and gradually fell into a disadvantage under the fierce attack of the two demons.

The eldest of the two Lou demons took advantage of Shi Jin's unpreparedness and secretly released a flying needle magic weapon at him.

call out!
With the help of magic, the flying needle magic weapon instantly penetrated the void and stabbed towards Shi Jin's head!
Shi Jin's magic long sword blasted out a stream of light, which deflected the spell from the opposite side, and also discovered the insidious and hidden flying needle.

But it's too late.

puff!

The flying needle magic weapon was glowing with blood and easily broke through his magic shield and went straight to his head.

Shi Jin's heart sank immediately and a trace of despair appeared in his eyes.

Ding!
Shi Jin was shocked to find that just when the flying needle magic weapon was about to reach his forehead, it seemed to be firmly fixed in place by something.

boom!
At this moment, an even greater spiritual pressure suddenly descended upon the scene, causing the nearby space to tremble violently.

The spiritual pressure was so strong that everyone stopped fighting and looked terrified.

Even the Lou family’s twin demons and Shi Jin in the sky are no exception!
Shi Jin looked at the source of the spiritual pressure and his eyes suddenly narrowed!
But he found that it was his fellow passenger who saved his life.

"Oh no! It's the Nascent Soul Demon!"

The two Lou demons screamed, and without saying a word, they used their skills to escape.

However, before the two men could escape, dozens of pitch-black spikes suddenly jumped out from the void and pierced the two men through.

With just one strike, the two famous Lou demons on the Black Sea perished.

Then the figure of the Sky-Devouring Rat appeared nearby. It picked up the bodies of the two and threw them into the small spiritual realm.

"How dare you come out to rob when you are so weak?"

"It's really boring."

Now that it has reached the perfect third level of cultivation, it can kill two young cultivators in the early stage of the Golden Core with no effort at all.

The cultivators below saw the two Lou demons die instantly and a huge monster appeared, so they abandoned their boats and fled for their lives.

Qin Ming waved his hand and cast the Thorn Spell towards the pirates on the Lou family's twin magic ships.

In an instant, countless black vines with chilling void poisonous stings emerged from the entire ship, like black tentacles emerging from the bottom of the sea, and rolled back all the pirate monks who were fleeing for their lives.

Then, within a few short breaths, all the fierce bandit monks on the opposite boat turned into mummies.

And those black vines turned into blood beads and all fell into Qin Ming's hands.

Such a horrific scene of slaughter made many monks on the Black Sail stunned in place.

It only took a moment from the time Qin Ming made his move to the time when all the people on the opposite side were killed.

If this isn’t the method of the Nascent Soul Demon, then what is it?
Shi Jin swallowed hard, flew over quickly, bowed deeply, and said carefully:
"Thank you for saving me, Senior. I am blind and I hope you will forgive me!"

Qin Ming had no choice but to take action this time. If all these people died, there would be no one to take him back to the Southern Wilderness.

The ocean is vast, not only is the direction lost, but there is also a long way to go.

The monk named Luo who was not far away was still in shock. He also came over and bowed in gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Lu, for saving my life!"

In this sudden incident, two members of the Luo family also died.

If Qin Ming hadn't intervened, it would have all been over.
The cultivator named Luo was trembling and dared not breathe. He could not imagine that the cultivation level of the person in front of him was so high.

In the blink of an eye, the Jindan old demon was reduced to ashes!

No wonder he dares to travel alone on the Black Sea.

After getting the approval, he and Qin Ming left the Black Sail and headed for the island.

Then, Qin Ming said to Shi Jin calmly:

"Shi Jin, quickly gather your men and continue sailing."

"Go to the Southern Wasteland as quickly as possible and don't cause any more trouble."

The tone was full of unquestionable command.

Shi Jin nodded repeatedly, not daring to act rudely in front of Qin Ming. He quickly cleaned up the bloodstains of corpses on the deck, then called on his men to set sail at full speed.

……

After March.

The Black Sail surfaced again. Qin Ming walked to the bow and a coastline that he was very familiar with appeared in his sight.
