Rise From the Humble

"Report, leaders, the pilot boat in front hit a sunken log and broke a big hole in the cabin. The boat behind thought it was attacked and stopped urgently. Since our fleet has just picked up the speed and there are many ships, I think It was not easy to stop at once, which resulted in some ships colliding."

A Japanese pirate ran all the way from the deck into the cabin, half-kneeling on the ground and reported to Xu Hai and others.

"Trash! What do the people on the pilot boat have to eat? They can't even find such big deadwood in the river!"

Maye yelled, he was in a bad mood at the moment.

"Um, um, I heard that the piece of dead wood is half floating and half submerged in the river. Most people can't see it if they are not careful."

The Japanese pirate explained in a low voice that one of the Japanese pirates on the pilot boat had a special and fatal friendship with him, and he did not want him to be implicated.

"You can't see it if you're not careful?! That's not because you're not careful enough!" Maye scolded even more fiercely.

"Brother Ma, calm down. Come over here, and I'll ask you, what does the dead wood look like when the front boat encounters it? Is it newly felled?"

After listening to the report of the Japanese pirates under his command, Xu Hai immediately became vigilant, stood up and continued to ask questions.

"Leader, this is not a newly felled tree. It is an ebony tree that has been sleeping under the water for who knows how many years. For some reason, it just came up from the bottom of the water in the past two days. It is pitch black." The Japanese pirate shook his head and replied truthfully. road.

When he heard that the trees were not newly cut down, Xu Hai put down his guard and sat back relaxedly.

"Dark bird wood?! Hahaha, that ship is really unlucky. I learned about it before when I was an apprentice to an old carpenter. Ebony is worth about one or two birds and one tael of silver. It's so thick. A piece of ebony wood is worth at least a thousand taels of silver. Haha, although the front boat hit a hole, we got a lot of windfall. This is a good sign, God is blessing us."

After hearing this, Chen Dong laughed, feeling that this was a good sign and could boost low morale.

"Made, it's easier for them."

After listening to Chen Dong's words, Maye curled her lips. He also knew that this was something that could boost morale. This was just like the emperor liked to hear the auspicious news. As soon as he heard the auspicious news, he couldn't wait to tell the world.

Their raid on Suzhou was a huge defeat. The morale of the Japanese pirates under their command was low. They continued to boost their morale.

They couldn't find the phoenix unicorn, and the dark wood worth a thousand taels of silver was a rare good sign for them.

"Well, since Brother Chen and Brother Ma have said so, it will be easier for them this time. As the pilot ship, they did not observe the river carefully, which caused the fleet to collide. Originally, I wanted to punish them severely. .”

Xu Hai nodded and let the Japanese pirates on the pilot ship go. Originally, he was really prepared to punish them severely.

Giving both kindness and power has always been the only way to control people.

The Suzhou strategy failed and kindness could not be achieved, so now they can only use force. They are lucky this time.

Soon, Xu Hai, Chen Dong, and Maye's news about the reward of ebony wood to the lead ship spread throughout the fleet. After the pilot ship received the news, it immediately burst into earth-shattering cheers. This heavy and thick tree Ebony Chenmu can give each of them a dozen or so taels of silver, how can they not be happy.

During this trip to Suzhou, many of their comrades died, but little was gained. This windfall was a good bonus.

At least, their harvest from the trip to Suzhou was suddenly ahead of 99% of their fellow Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates on other Japanese ships admired their bad luck.

There was a big hole in the cabin of the original pilot boat. It was simply repaired with wooden boards and it was barely water-proof. However, it was no longer possible to ride on it. It had to be repaired back. Now it can only be towed back to other boats with ropes. In Torin's lair, the crew on the pilot ship dispersed to other Japanese ships.

As for the important task of piloting, it was left to its Japanese ships.

Soon, the Japanese pirate fleet set sail again.

"Made, it's so beautiful that Heiteng and the others actually hit a tree. That's such bad luck. I don't know if we have such bad luck." On the new pilot boat, a big and thick Japanese pirate called Meimu. He cursed.

"Haha, Hei Niu, don't stop dreaming. It's a once-in-a-hundred-year chance to encounter a bird's nest tree on this river. You still want to meet one. Do you think the bird's nest tree is a bad thing? Big carrot, can you hit it if you want? Stop daydreaming."

The other Japanese pirates on the boat laughed and cursed one after another, laughing at the Japanese pirate Heiniu's whims.

"Damn, we always have to have dreams. What if we get lucky and encounter a piece of dark wood? They are all fucking Japanese pirates. No one is nobler than the other. There is no reason to be evil. Those rotten people like Teng can have shitty luck, but we can’t?!"

The Japanese pirate named Hei Niu spat into the river and retorted unconvinced, staring at the river greedily with his eyes.

The Japanese pirate fleet traveled along the river, and there were not a few Japanese pirates on the boat who stared at the road like Hei Niu.

Many Japanese pirates on board were staring at the river, hoping to have the same bad luck as Heiteng and others.

However, it was obvious that they didn't have that kind of luck, and they didn't encounter another piece of ebony wood until they arrived in Kunshan.

When the river the Japanese ships sailed reached Kunshan, it made a nearly ninety-degree turn, turning to the north. The Japanese pirate pilot ship reduced its speed and took the lead in turning. The rest of the fleet behind them also reduced their speed and slowly turned.

Due to the turn, the Japanese pirate fleet was concentrated at this turning point at this moment, and it was a bit blocked.

The black bull on the pilot boat was greedy for money. He kept staring at the river in front of him without giving up. Suddenly, a black shadow in the river jumped into his eyes, and his adrenaline suddenly started to boil.

"Bird's wood, another ebony wood, look quickly, look forward like crazy, is that the ebony wood in front of you?!"

Black Bull excitedly pointed at the black shadow in front of him and shouted, his eyes glowing with greedy golden light.

After Hei Niu said this, all the other Japanese pirates on the pilot boat were immediately attracted and looked at Hei Niu's hand.

"Damn it, it seems like it's really sunken wood. I just don't know if it's black sunken wood." The other Japanese pirates on the boat also saw the half-floating and half-sunken wood in the river in front of them, and they couldn't help but get excited.

"Hurry up, what are you still doing? Come on, salvage it quickly and see if it's Toorimu. If it's Toorimu, we're just out of luck. Haha, when we get back to our lair, we can also find a few Japanese girls to spend the night with. ”

Hei Niu drooled with excitement. The other Japanese pirates on the boat showed off their skills, throwing Zhujun and others up, and salvaging the sunken wood in the river.
