Chapter 355 - Beastmen? (1/2)

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BOOOM*

The ship's hull broke apart from the repeated bombardment and exploded inwards.

”In position!” the leader of the 30 guards shouted as soon as the explosion sounded. All the guards immediately formed an arch and faced the newly formed 'door'.

Hao Xuan who was standing behind the guards along with Jin Wang and 3 other cultivators looked on with interest.

The leader of the guards was an older man of about 50 years of age. Half his hair had turned a shade of gray and he was the only one of them at the top of the spirit realm, albeit his Qi felt much weaker than Hao Xuan's who was only at Spirit Realm stage 4.

All the other guards were between the ages of 20 and 30 and looked quite innocent. It seemed like this was their first encounter.

”Is this the first time pirates attacked?” Hao Xuan leaned towards Jin Wang and asked in a low voice.

”No, I think this is the 4th time. Why?”

”Why do those guys look like it's their first time in combat?” he asked gesturing towards them.

”Because this is the first time the Pirates have attacked in such force. These guys are probably just trainees and were called for duty because they were short on hands,” Jin Wang explained.

*Clank*

A loud noise came from outside and all the noise suddenly died down. It looked like someone had plugged the hole and even the air pressure had stabilized.

Hao Xuan suddenly closed his eyes and turned his left year towards the opening.

*Ba-dump*

*Ba-dump*

He could hear extremely loud heartbeats just on the other side and they were getting stronger.

”They're coming,” he mumbled under his breath, but because of the sudden silence, everyone heard him loud and clear. The guard captain turned his head halfway and looked at Hao Xuan with a surprised expression but before he could say anything a loud roar came from the front and got his attention.

”ROAAR!”

It sounded both beastly and human at the same time.

*THUMP*

*THUMP*
