39: Chapter 39 Exiting the Dungeon

“Bang—” Another shot.

Although he couldn't see exactly where it hit, Chen Fan knew it was a direct hit by looking at Kadel's smug expression.

Smiling, he patted him on the shoulder repeatedly. “As expected of an SS-rank, impressive, truly impressive.”

“Damn it, this piece of junk gun is just not comfortable to use.”

Kadel lifted his chin arrogantly, looking at Chen Fan with his nostrils.

“Also, who are you calling Shorty?”

“Bang—” In the midst of their conversation, another shot rang out.

After firing, Kadel didn't even look at the other side, immediately starting to reload.

“Short Lord, from today on, you are Short Lord!”

Chen Fan happily took out a mug of beer and handed it over.

This required neither charging up nor consuming energy.

The ability to accurately kill in one shot from 800 meters away just by raising his hand was too formidable.

“Short Lord, have a drink, don't get thirsty.”

“Hmph...” Kadel took the beer, downed it in one gulp, and while smacking his lips, fired another shot.

This barrage of shots completely stunned the other side.

The pirate Commander-in-Chief felt his heart skip a beat and inconspicuously ducked into the cabin.

Looking at the first mate who followed him, he whispered: “Is there anyone in our team who can do that?”

The first mate's expression was grave. “With such poor visibility, landing headshots every time from 800 meters away... let alone us, even... no one can do that.”

The captain took a deep breath. “This is a tough target.”

“Yeah, between the eerie ship restoration and the Sharpshooter, this doesn't look like something a rookie team could do at all.”

“And that green light.”

“Right, that green light that can split a ship in two.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the dazzling green light lit up again.

“Zzzzt—” The Commander-in-Chief shuddered, subconsciously wanting to dive to the ground.

The next moment, he saw a ship nearby being split in two by the green light.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but gulp deeply.

“How about...” The Commander-in-Chief gritted his teeth, looking conflicted.

If outsiders found out he was beaten into a frantic retreat by two rookie ships, how would he ever show his face again?

The first mate naturally knew what he was thinking, his tone urgent: “We can't hesitate anymore. We don't know where that green light will hit next; if it hits our ship, we're done for!”

“And don't forget, they can instantly repair their ship!”

Hearing this, the Commander-in-Chief's expression hardened. He said in a deep voice: “One more round of bombardment. I want to see for myself how they repair it.”

The first mate's expression changed instantly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Commander-in-Chief's chilling face.

After hesitating for a moment, he sighed, “Fine.”

Immediately, he issued the order over the broadcast.

Just then, a commotion broke out on the deck.

The irritable first mate cursed: “What's all the chaos? Never fought a war? Never seen a dead person?”

“No... it's bad, First Mate, the Second Mate is dead.”

The terrified voices of the Sailors came from the deck.

The first mate's breath hitched. After sensing carefully, he discovered the ship had veered off course and was heading towards the pirate ship on the left.

“Correct the heading!” The Commander-in-Chief roared sternly.

On the deck, the Third Mate, hiding behind an obstacle, gritted his teeth and ran toward the helm.

Just before the two ships were about to collide, he barely managed to correct the heading.

At this moment, the new round of bombardment was ready.

“Fire!” At the first mate's command, dozens of cannonballs were launched.

Chen Fan noticed it immediately and quickly pulled Lairuilei and Kadel into the cabin.

By the way, he shouted in the channel for Kuka to be careful.

The distance was too far; he couldn't recall Kuka.

It didn't matter if the ship was ruined; as long as these sentient Crew Members survived, he could make a comeback.

At this moment, Chen Fan, without even realizing it himself, had already made plans to exhaust all his resources.

However, the two captains sitting in the cockpit didn't think so.

Having their ships destroyed repeatedly made the two arrogant captains grit their teeth in anger.

After multiple volleys, they had already grasped the general trajectory of the cannonballs.

As they came again, they both held their breath.

The two 40-meter-long ships twisted in an incredible trajectory on the sea surface.

They narrowly dodged the vast majority of the cannonballs.

Each of them was only hit by two cannonballs.

On the china side, it almost dodged the second one, with only a small part of the stern being grazed.

[Please repair immediately.] [Required resources: Wood x6k. rope x2k. nails x1k. cloth x2k. steel x2k. gold coins x3k.]

“Repair!” [Repair successful!]

Looking at the consumed resources reduced by more than half, Chen Fan didn't know whether to be happy or upset.

But fortunately, they had held on this time.

Kadel seized the opportunity, ran out during the gap, and fired a shot just by raising his hand.

After firing, he shrank back.

On the other side. The Commander-in-Chief saw this scene with his own eyes and immediately gasped.

After the opposing ship was hit, it repaired instantly. They also had a Sharpshooter who killed with every shot, as well as the eerie green light that appeared from time to time. How could they fight this?

“Boss! Let's run! The Brothers' morale has been completely shattered!” The first mate rushed in, looking at the Commander-in-Chief with heartache.

On the sea, a halo of light flashed by, scaring the Commander-in-Chief into shrinking his head, thinking the green light had come again.

Looking closely, he realized it was just a whale leaping out of the sea, the light reflected from its snow-white belly.

Breathing a sigh of relief, the Commander-in-Chief waved his hand listlessly. “Retreat.”

“Yes!” The first mate finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to command an orderly retreat.

Those pirate ships whose captains had been killed were steered by the second or third mates.

Observing this, Kadel immediately fired and killed a second mate, then said in a deep voice: “They're going to run.”

Chen Fan walked out of the cabin and snorted coldly: “They wasted so many of my resources, and they think they can run without leaving me a few ships?”

“Overwhelming firepower! Aim at those ships whose captains were killed.”

“Yes, my master!” Kuka's expression stirred, and he began to command.

After some pursuit, four pirate ships were abandoned by the main force.

Chen Fan repeated the same trick, using five ship crossbows to launch Sailors one by one onto the pirate ships.

Soon, all four were captured.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Fan stood on the deck and patrolled.

In his mind, the embryonic form of his future fleet gradually emerged.

The corners of his mouth kept rising, eventually turning into wild laughter.

Lairuilei stood by his side, gently clutching the corner of his clothes.

Looking at the exceptionally excited Chen Fan, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

The china slowly docked beside the pirate ship, the ladder right before his eyes.

Chen Fan reached out his hand, preparing to board the ship to inspect his spoils.

Just at this moment, a pillar-like object shrouded in black mist suddenly appeared, blocking Chen Fan's path.

Staring for a moment, before he could distinguish what was in front of him.

Blood surged from the soles of his feet instantly, rushing straight to his crown.

Chen Fan instantly felt his scalp go numb, his heart seemingly struck by lightning, and his breathing gradually stopped.

His right foot, which he had just lifted, stepped into the air, and he stumbled and fell onto the deck.

He clutched his chest tightly with both hands, his face twisting in pain.

The black mist gradually extended, slowly pointing towards Chen Fan.

The discomfort gradually intensified, almost causing Chen Fan's heartbeat to stop.

Lairuilei came back to her senses, took a deep breath to suppress the tightness in her chest, and the clear wind bow appeared instantly.

“Die!” With a hoarse roar, a green light arrow pierced through the black mist, revealing what was shrouded underneath—a tentacle!

The moment the black mist dissipated, Chen Fan's consciousness recovered slightly.

His gaze moved slowly up along the tentacle, finally landing deep in the sky, on that black mass that looked like an object but wasn't.

A sense of dizziness struck again.

Just at the moment before his consciousness was eroded again, Chen Fan shouted with difficulty.

“Exit dungeon!”
