Chapter 503: Chapter 296: The Counterattack of the Octopus King_1

Blai Island, another island located on the route between Turtle Island and Skeleton Island, it’s an essential passage to Skeleton Island.

At the moment, five fully armed ships are hiding deftly behind Blai Island.

These are part of the forces scattered by the Son of Heaven who just received the message and were ordered to ambush the Ghost Captain here.

"All groups be aware, a three-masted ship is approaching!"

This voice spreads through the mental communications of the crowd.

"Can we confirm that it’s the Ghost Captain’s ship?"

"Confirmed!"

"How many?"

"Just one!"

"Good, everyone, take action immediately, we must intercept them..."

...

The five squadrons moved out from the island under the command of the squadron leader, forming a line on the sea of Blai Island, eventually blocked the sailing path of the three-masted ship.

"Attention, fog ahead!"

Just as everyone was ready to fire, someone reported a change in the sea ahead.

A heavy fog suddenly rolled in, engulfing the three-masted ship ahead and rapidly spreading in their direction.

"Another fog, good we prepared!"

"Be careful, defend your areas and prevent them from sneaking past. Get the Fog-breaking Mirror ready..."

Despite the sudden arrival of the white fog, everyone remained calm. It was something they had encountered before; they had been prepared to deal with it since their last mishap.

The Fog-breaking Mirror — a naval specialty tool from the Star Spirit World that resembled a monocular telescope, designed specifically for dispelling sea mist and allowing direct vision of the objects behind the fog through its lens.

At this moment, two people simultaneously pulled out their Fog-breaking Mirrors and looked into the fog.

"I found their vessel, still on its original sea route!"

The first piece of information was quickly transmitted through their thoughts.

However, the scouts’ reports started to deviate.

"Eh? They seem to be speeding up towards us..."

"What’s going on? Are they planning a mutual destruction?"

...

Normally, they create fog to escape during the confusion. Who would continue forthrightly on the same route? It seems as if they are planning to collide with us.

"No problem. Let them come, everyone else remain in your positions and continue the investigation!" The commander promptly said.

If they really wanted to go one-for-one, that’s good news. Even if they had to exchange their five vessels to sink theirs, it was an acceptable loss.

"No, it’s not just one ship! There are other vessels following behind..." An appalled scout suddenly reported.

"How many others?"

"Not sure, can’t see clearly... wait, there’s another ship!"

"What on earth is happening?"

"There are at least three ships in the fog, no, four... wait..."

At this moment in the scout’s perspective, through the lens of the Fog-breaking Mirror into the fog, the original three-masted vessel had turned into three, all sailing together swiftly.

But it didn’t end there, more and more vessels started to appear on the sea surface.

It appeared as if these vessels were climbing out from the sea, one after another, surrounding the original three-masted ship in tight formation and were charging in the direction of their line at high speed.

"Ten, ten ships!"

"There are ten ships and all are large pirate ships!"

The scout’s surprised voice echoed through the team’s communication channel.

"You’re joking, right?" The commanding officer couldn’t help but disbelief.

All the intelligence they had pointed out that the Ghost Captain didn’t ally with other players’ factions. Moreover, they had seen a single vessel coming at them just now. How could there be suddenly ten?

At this moment, it was not only the commander who was stumped, but the others were also rattled. The original five against one situation had now turned into ten against their five. They were outnumbered. Among these ten ships, one was the vessel of a legendary master. How could they fight this?

Everyone anxiously awaited the new command from their commander; instead, a Dragon Roar rang above their heads.

"Roar!"

The furious roar echoed like rolling thunder, unleashing wave upon wave of sound, deafening everyone present.

Without thinking, everyone looked up to see a huge black dragon piercing through the fog, soaring up and circling above.

The back of the Black Dragon was as solid as a mountain, its wings vast as clouds, and its enormous figure blocked out the sky almost entirely. Its violent gusts of air, churned up by its wings, stirred giant waves on the sea surface.

Everyone watched this scene in shock. They had all heard of the dragon’s imposing name, but it was their first time witnessing its might, rendering them speechless.

This was not just the shock of its size but the overwhelming dragon’s might that made them momentarily forget to resist.

"Shoot, spread out!

The commander reacted quite quickly and quickly changed the command.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.

After circling once, the Black Dragon hovered above the middle ship, raised its neck, opened its huge mouth, and spat a mouthful of liquid flame downwards.
