Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 660: Chapter 660: King Octopus

"Get on it! Anyone who retreats, I’ll slice him with a thunderbolt. Whoever takes down Gu Fan, I’ll make him the Pirate Chief." Qian Feng gave the orders, displaying a do-or-die attitude, leaving the pirates no choice but to comply.

Just then, a sudden wave taken up out of nowhere swallowed a ship. Many saw tentacles raving in the wave, which consulted sheer terror in them.

The tentacles grabbed the ship and tried to overturn it, causing the pirates onboard to jump into the sea. However, as soon as they plunged in, they felt a tight pull under their feet, and they were dragged down.

Being tall, Gu Fan and his company had a distant view. The attacker of the pirate ship was a colossal squid, presumably the notorious giant squid.

"No way, was it the same creature that attacked the ship before?" Everyone was terrified, fearing that their boat would have been targeted last time if the other ships hadn’t distracted the creature.

At that moment, two more pirate ships were attacked by the giant waves. Some terrified pirates fired their guns, while others leapt into the sea. The result was the same; either both pirates and ships were dragged under water, or they were dragged down after jumping into the sea.

"My God, isn’t it one giant squid coming?" Just when everyone was anxious, three attacks were launched simultaneously, specifically targeting the pirate fleet.

Listening to the terrified screams of the pirates, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi were grateful to be on a larger ship, out of the giant squid’s reach.

Lin Xi made a quick estimate - these giant squid must be at least thirty meters long, which allows them to easily take down the pirate ships. If there is one that is fifty or sixty meters long, it may also pose a threat to large cargo ships.

The counterattacks began. When one giant squid attacked a ship, the surrounding ships immediately fired in retaliation, shooting dense bullets through the body of the giant squid, initiating an intense war of both sides.

Gu Fan decided not to act. At present, both the giant squid and the Pirate Alliance were in a mutually damaging battle; completely exhausting Qian Feng’s forces would be delightful for their side.

At this time, more and more giant squids appeared, and in some cases, dozens of them attacked at the same time, and the battle intensified.

The pirates fought hard too. As soon as they saw the tentacles of the giant squid poking out of the sea, they recklessly opened fire, turning the sea ink-black, indicating successful hits.

However, some unlucky pirates got wrapped in the tentacles of the giant squid, struggling desperately, screaming in despair, and then getting dragged into the sea.

As the battle went on, the battlefield became increasingly chaotic, with ship debris and dead giant squids all over the sea. Gunfire echoed into the sky continuously.

At this time, Qiao Ya and his team, aboard a ship, decided not to get involved, planning to slip away amidst the chaos.

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, directly hitting right beside Qiao Ya and his team, scaring them into a jitter. They could also hear Qian Feng’s relentless words: "Whoever dares to retreat in the face of battle, shall be killed without mercy."

Thus, the members of the Pirate Alliance had no other way but to continue fighting. Meanwhile, the lightning bolt also successfully drew Gu Fan’s attention; he found Qiao Ya and his team on a ship trying to escape.

"Ha-ha, you can’t get away, can you?" Gu Fan felt sympathy for Qiao Ya and their team. It looked like they would have to sacrifice half of the Pirate Alliance’s ships to completely annihilate the giant squid.

But the pirates had their way. They actually brought out fishing nets, tossing them in every direction.

Many giant squids, not knowing what it was, charged up only to be trapped, greatly reducing the threat. Once entangled by the fishing nets, the giant squid couldn’t get away and started spurting masses of ink.

With the force of a giant squid, it wouldn’t be hard to overturn a ship. Once a ship is overturned, the pirates onboard have no choice but to jump into the sea - making them more vulnerable. Now with the use of fishing nets spread out in large areas, the pirates had actually constrained the giant squid.

Seeing this, Gu Fan had to reassess the situation. Perhaps the Pirate Alliance would only need to suffer losses of a quarter to deal with these giant squids completely. If Qian Feng steps in, this figure would probably be even lower.

Indeed, just as Gu Fan had anticipated, Qian Xue finally made a move. Using her supernatural power, she locked onto a giant squid beneath the sea and slowly lifted it out of the water till it rose into the air.

"Fire!" The pirates focused their firepower on the floating squid, shooting it thoroughly until it was riddled with bullet holes.

Seeing the situation tilting strongly in favor of the pirates, everyone started worrying about the squids. It didn’t look good; victory is in the hands of the pirates and there’s no telling how far it will boost their morale.

Once Qian Xue used her supernatural power to freeze another giant squid in the air, the sea finally calmed. All giant squids had been either killed or entangled in the nets, posing no threat any more.

"Alright, that was a minor distraction. Now, take them down!" Qian Feng pointed at the two cargo ships. After defeating the giant squids, the pirates were even more determined to obey Qian Feng’s orders, roaring like a thunderstorm, preparing for a grand battle.

As Gu Fan predicted, they had to face the relentless attacks of pirates. Even with Lin Xi’s boundless supernatural power, she also had to confront Qian Feng.

As the ships of Pirate Alliance approached and everyone grew desperately anxious, Lu Yi quipped, "What’s going on? Where are those sea snakes? They were so vigorous when attacking us. But facing the pirates, have they run away in fear?"

Just then, terrified screams came from a pirate ship. Unbeknownst to them, sea snakes had crawled all over. The Pirates fired their guns frantically, but it was no use. They were quickly constricted by the snakes.

Seeing this, everyone was astonished and turned to Lu Yi with peculiar glances which made him feel uncomfortable. "Why are you all looking at me?" He asked.

Ouyang Jin then commented, "Lu Yi, Lu Yi, so your doomsayer trait doesn’t only work on us, but also on the enemies. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had discovered this sooner?"

Such utterance left Lu Yi with a feeling of strangeness. "What do you mean? Are you suggesting that my doomsayer trait is useful now?" He asked.

"Alright, enough of that. Let’s focus on..." Gu Fan had just finished speaking when a thick tentacle rose high above, reaching over their cargo ship, and started slapping.
