Chapter 310: Blood Ship (1/2)
The experts were all filled with anger and frustrations. They had listened to the Berserkers throughout the time and understood that their end would be rather gruesome; all the blood would be drained from their bodies while still being alive.
They had felt hopelessness and despair as they knew that their end was coming; the only one who had been calm was Luoluo. She had claimed that her older brother would save her, and the sailors and delegations were feeling incredibly embarrassed for not believing her now that it had proven to be true.
In the cage were also the King and Lin Xiao. Both of them were severely beaten compared to the others who had no injuries. Their bodies were riddled with wounds, both shallow and deep ones; it was clear that they had been fighting to their last breath, and only kept alive because of their precious blood.
Anger flared in Xue Wei's heart. He considered these two people his friends, but now they had been beaten this badly, he could not accept it!
He quickly found a few pills from his storage artifact and placed them in the mouths of the two unconscious friends.
The pills he used were improved versions of the Returning Spring Healing Pills. These pills were not the best pills he had, but considering the injuries, they were the most suitable ones as they would treat every single wound and not focus on one specific injury.
As the pills dissolved in their mouths, the two slowly woke up, their bodies aching, but stream after stream of energy shot into their bodies and slowly alleviated their pain and healed their bodies.
While Xue Wei was busy dealing with his two friends, the sailors and the two delegations swept through the entire city. Their storage artifacts had been taken away from them, but they quickly found weapons or tools they could use as weapons or fought with their bare hands, releasing all the restrained anger and frustrations they had felt while being captured.
The city was painted red; blood was flowing in rivers. More and more were killed as their power was weak after the loss of blood from the blood river and blood lake, because of this, they were easy to kill, like sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered.
Panic erupted in the lost city of the Berserkers; the Berserkers were all filled with dread and fear. They had been the hunters, but now they became the hunted. All the feelings of fear that their original targets had felt were being returned to them one by one.
”Hei Gou, carry the King, I'll drag Lin Xiao with us,” Xue Wei said, and as he said, he went to drag Lin Xiao with him out of prison, while Hei Gou carried the King.
Luoluo looked on in dismay. Clearly, she was unhappy, but because of the circumstances she did not cause any problems, but when Xue Wei saw her indignant face, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was clear that she was unhappy that her hubby was touching another woman.
Sighing he shook his head, and dragged Hei Gou with him, behind him was the Berserker and Bai Tianyi, both of them were observing everything around them, and both the King and Hei Gou were getting better and better.
Halfway through the lost city, they had not come across even one living person; only corpses were littered on the ground, blood flowing from their limp bodies, and vacant eyes staring in horror into the sky.
Xue Wei and his group of people showed no interest in these dead bodies, but Bai Tianyi was not so naive as to not inspect them. If any of them had the slightest trace of being alive still, then a spiritual energy sword severed the head from the body, ensuring that no ambush was laying on the way.
As they advanced, they soon reached the front of the battle. Here they saw how the Berserkers were pushed back, all of them filled with fear, and their attacks were filled with hesitation. It was clear that everyone was doing their utmost to escape, but where could they escape to? They were on an island; everything was under control of the delegation and sailors.
Xue Wei sent Bai Tianyi out to find the storage treasures of everyone, and soon he did not have to drag Lin Xiao anymore, soon he could support him, as they returned to the harbor.
There they were greeted by sight of the wreckage of their ship. It was completely burnt down; the charred wooden frame was all that was left.
Looking around the harbor, they found no other ship as magnificent; all of them were rather crude and not made for long distance sailing. They could not accommodate all of them either.
Pondering on what to do, Xue Wei placed Lin Xiao on the ground; the King was also being placed down on the ground, both of them sitting down and slowly using their own Qi and Spiritual Energy to heal their bodies.
Not long after, Bai Tianyi returned. He handed two rings to Lin Xiao and the King while the thing he gave Luoluo was a small bracelet. This was their storage artifacts.
”I kept them all,” he said, ”I found the one who had all the storage artifacts, and then I took them all with me. On top of that, I also looted the corpses I came across, so we have quite a few storage treasures.”
”Give the ones from our comrades back,” Xue Wei said with a nod of his head, ”but keep all the other ones for yourself. No need to share them with others.”
Bai Tianyi snickered. He felt the same, had they not been there to protect them, then it was likely they would all have died. To let them take the loot was not too much to ask for.
Slowly as time ticked by, the ones who had survived from the sailors and delegation made their way down to the harbor where they met Xue Wei and the others. They saw the stack of storage artifacts and their eyes shone. They thought they had lost their treasures for good.
None of them commented on the fact that Xue Wei and his friends kept the extra ones, they just found their own and placed them on their bodies before starting to ponder on what to do with the ship.
