Chapter 444: Old Friend (2/2)
Crash, along with the sea waves, the armored warship got closer and closer.
Tuoba Xiong, is that really you?
What about Tuoba Xiaoniao, where is she?
Ye Chuan muttered to himself, watching that armored warship coming closer and closer. Suddenly, he made a move that was beyond the expectation of both Little Long’er and Hai Dashan. He plunged into the sea and swam towards that armored warship.
After suddenly learning the whereabouts of Tuoba Xiong, regardless of whether that was true or false, Ye Chuan had to personally go to confirm.
Tuoba Xiong had experienced a lot of winds and waves in his life. He was a tough person who could withstand all kinds of hardships. But, Tuoba Xiaoniao was different. She was gentle like water. Letting her follow Tuoba Xiong to wander around Overseas World and suffer all kinds of hardships made Ye Chuan distress.
“Your Excellency!”
“Noble son Ye……”
Little Long’er and Hai Dashan exclaimed and flowed him without any hesitation.
The armored warship was speeding along the sea surface as if a huge seabird. Under the dim light of night, the three people quickly swam like a fish towards that armored warship. In the water, the innate skill of Hai Dashan was completely displayed. He was faster than even Ye Chuan. He took the lead and they quietly crawled up the armored warship.
On the deck, nearly 800 soldiers were lined up neatly and orderly. Each other them were loyally doing their duty while emitting dense killing intent.
Ye Chuan took a glance from the distance. He was always alert against several later stage Daoist Master realm experts. And under the lead of Hai Dahsan, they went straight towards the third floor.
This time, their main objective was to gather military intelligence. But, summoning super electric eel, Six-Winged Golden Cicada and other yao beasts, and launching a surprise attack along with himself and Little Long’er, Ye Chuan was confident that he could massacre everyone of this armored warship along with those soldiers on the deck. But, before ascertaining the action of Qing Tianhou, it was not wise to attack rashly. It would only startle the snake.
Compared to the two floors above, the third floor was damp and dark. Even before reaching the third floor, they could smell a foul smell. The smell of sweat, the smell of rotting wounds and some inexplicable smells were mixed together. Little Long’er and Hai Dashan was choked by this pungent smell and stopped their step instinctively. Ye Chuan however continued to walk forward without batting an eyelid and quietly entered the third floor.
In the dark cabin, a large group of bare-chested slaves was dripping with sweat as they put forth their strength to row. The person in the front was a nearly two meters tall big bearded man. The oar in his hands was also the largest. Every move used all his strength and his entire body was completely drenched with sweat. A dozen or so soldiers were walking back and forth with dense killing intent. They were ferociously lash anyone they found not pleasing to the eye. That big bearded man was positioned in the front, he was the example for these numerous slave soldiers. He had the most lash marks on his body and his body was also dripping with blood.
Ye Chuan who had quietly sneaked into this cabin suddenly stood still in the dark.
He recognized that man in the first glance. He really was Tuoba Xiong who had completely disappeared without any news after going out to the sea. Physically, he was still that person of the past, but his spirit and temperament were already completely different. His beard was ill-organized, and he no longer had that domineering and wildly arrogant air of the past. Now, he was working hard regardless of criticism like a willing ox. His stature was still tall and big, but was very thin and skinny, moreover, compared to before going out to the sea, the energy fluctuation within his body had not only not increased, rather had weakened greatly. It seemed that he was at most Rank 3 Daoist Master realm. In addition, he was bound with a thick chain, and every time he paddled the oar, the chain would make sounds.
