Chapter 345 The Golden Turtle Talisman
No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Hu leaped into the sea of blood right in front of everyone!
"He probably won't survive."
Xu Yong casually said something and pulled Wei An back as he leaned out again.
Wei An never imagined that the once-glorious leader would fall into such a predicament.
A wave of sadness washed over me.
The shark swarm instantly erupted in a frenzy.
Its dark gray dorsal fin sliced through the water like a blade, and its pale white teeth appeared and disappeared in the blood-red waves.
The sea surface churned violently, occasionally a piece of cloth or a severed limb would float to the surface, only to be quickly dragged into the abyss.
The official boat was completely silent.
Finally, Chen Hu's black eye mask floated up, spun around, and slowly sank.
As the crimson ripples faded, the war gradually came to an end.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Lin Ke's gaze swept across the blood-red sea. He said in a deep voice to Zhao Cheng beside him, "Take stock of the casualties, salvage the spoils of war, and bring the prisoners back for interrogation."
"Yes!"
Zhao Cheng clasped his hands in acceptance of the order and immediately turned around to call for his officers and soldiers to split up and take action.
Lin Ke then leaped into a light boat, and the sailors rowed it through the waves, soon approaching the small boat where Xu Yiyi was.
The blood was spreading, and it was almost here.
He used one hand to push himself up onto the deck, his boots making a dull thud as they stepped onto the blood-stained deck.
Xu Yiyi was leaning against the side of the ship, playing with a gold ingot in her hand.
Upon seeing Lin Ke arrive, she didn't even raise her head, and lazily said, "Lord Lin, have you come in person to ask for the gold?"
Lin Ke's gaze swept over the open gold chest on the deck, then fell on the gold in her hand: "Didn't you find the fish talisman?"
"There really isn't a fish-shaped talisman."
Xu Yi tapped the gunwale with her fingertips and shrugged: "We did find a box. There's a groove inside, and I think that's where the fish talisman is."
She squinted: "It's square, and there are still marks of clasps on the edges."
Lin Ke frowned slightly: "You mean..."
"The fish-shaped talisman should be embedded there."
Xu Yiyi recalled: "I touched that groove, and there were several scratches on the bottom."
"Perhaps they were taken away long before the ship sank," Xu Yiyi said slowly, a smile playing on her lips.
Lin Ke was deep in thought.
Xu Yi said, "I thought the fish talisman was a small fish made of gold."
It's exactly the same as the tortoise talisman Lin Ke gave her before.
"They are all square."
Upon hearing her say this, Lin Ke understood her doubts.
He then took out a bronze tortoise talisman from his bosom. The square talisman was engraved with fine seal script, and the edges had been worn smooth.
“The real tortoise shell talisman looks like this.”
Xu Yiyi looked at the other object that was being taken out of her sleeve, a small, golden tortoise talisman.
Only the size of a palm, its shell is inlaid with tiny gemstones that gleam in the sunlight, making it quite eye-catching.
This was given to her by Lin Ke when they first met.
The moment she got her hands on it, all she could think about was how rich officials really are.
"As for the one you took, it's my own personal seal."
Xu Yiyi then suddenly realized.
……
"Hey kid, do you remember how many people I killed? Let me tell you, I won't stand for it if even one is missing."
Old Lu emerged from the cabin with a nonchalant air, his tense mood dissipating, revealing his strong smell of alcohol.
He walked over and put his arm around Zhao Cheng's shoulder, still feeling a little embarrassed.
Once the fight really started, he completely forgot about counting heads.
Xu Yi looked left and right, puzzled, and asked, "Old Lu, have you seen that bastard Xie Yushu?"
The old man staggered and hiccuped: "Didn't see him."
A-Yue shook her head as well.
"The shark swarm won't disperse anytime soon."
Lin Ke's voice was cold and stern as he tapped his knuckles on the ship's gunwale: "The gold chest at the bottom of the sea cannot be retrieved for the time being."
Xu Yiyi leaned against the mast, her fingertips stroking the snakeskin whip, and suddenly spoke: "There should still be people in the pirate headquarters."
I can't have peace of mind until that bastard Xie Yushu is eliminated.
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes, the sea breeze ruffling his robes: "You mean..."
"Take advantage of their leaderless state!"
Xu Yiyi's lips curled into a cold smile, "Take down their lair."
There was a moment of silence on the deck, followed by a low murmur of response.
Zhao Cheng grinned, the tip of his knife slicing across the deck: "Perfect, the brothers haven't had enough of cutting yet."
Lin Ke's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Xu Yiyi's face: "Then let's do it."
"Hey kid, you really need to count this time..."
Old Lu put his arm around Zhao Cheng's shoulder and said.
Xu Yong slowly stood up on the cliff top only after the official boat changed direction.
"Go!" he said coldly.
