Chapter 344 Your empty wallet is about to bulge!
Xu Yiyi was lying on her back on the deck, her chest heaving violently, her wet hair plastered to her face, and she almost couldn't breathe.
She then sat up, squinted at the distant rocky cliffs, and looked at them with a puzzled expression.
If she wasn't mistaken, at the same time the cold arrow was shot, an arrow also shot out from this position and blocked it.
Was it an accident? Or did someone save her?
Xu Yiyi really couldn't figure out who else here would save her.
At this very moment, Lin Ke was directing the ships to encircle and annihilate the remaining pirates, while Zhao Cheng was even more bloodthirsty, his roars mingling with the sharp sounds of clashing swords, he was extremely busy.
Old Lu and A Yue were only focused on pulling her up.
Even the slightest sound of a bell distracted them from the conversation.
Clearly, no one noticed the hidden arrow that struck at the last second, a moment of life and death.
"Could they be secret agents of the government?"
She muttered to herself, but something still felt off.
"What are you staring at? Are you dumbfounded?" Old Lu squatted down next to her and asked, but the next moment his eyes were drawn to the box of gold.
A-Yue crouched down and used a dagger to pry open the lock on the gold box she had brought back.
With a click, the lid of the box opened, and a blinding golden light poured out, illuminating the faces of everyone present.
"The gold has really been retrieved..."
Wei An stared blankly, his voice trembling.
You should know that hundreds of members of the Red Shark Gang are risking their lives here, all for the gold on the seabed.
What a pity! In the end, some died and some were injured, while the government officials got their hands on the gold.
Old Lu was biting a gold ingot with his teeth to test its purity when he heard this and mumbled, "Spit it out! What's the good news? And what's the bad news?"
Xu Yiyi's gaze swept over A Yue and Lao Lu's faces: "The good news is..."
She patted the gold chest. "The shipwreck has been found. There are forty or fifty chests like this underneath."
If this drags on for a few more months, the undercurrents in the water will keep eroding it, and the amount of gold might not be this much.
Ah Yue whistled with delight.
Old Lu's eyes shone even brighter, and he jingled several gold ingots in his palm.
“The bad news is,” Xu Yiyi sighed.
"I couldn't find the fish talisman. I found a box on the top deck of the shipwreck, which had a special groove for storing important items, but it was empty. I then searched the ship inside and outside carefully, but I still couldn't find any trace of the fish talisman."
"Hahaha!"
Old Lu suddenly burst into laughter, "All I know is that your empty wallet is about to bulge."
He shoved the gold ingots he'd scooped up into his pocket with a menacing look: "Who cares about that damn fish-shaped talisman? With this gold, I can buy out all the wine in the entire Ping'an Town!"
What are you doing?
A-Yue stopped him from stuffing gold into his hands: "Taking it now is stealing. After it's all over, when we divide it up, that's what you'll get for yourself."
Old Lu snorted coldly.
Whether you take it sooner or later, it's all the same.
The government officials had already started cleaning up the battlefield, so he took it a quarter of an hour earlier.
The old man was very unwilling, but after thinking about it, he put his hand down.
Did you see anything else?
The two men, looking down from their vantage point, could see everything clearly, only the three people surrounding the gold with joyful expressions.
Fish-shaped tally?
There wasn't even a trace of it.
Wei An frowned, leaning forward subconsciously: "I didn't see it. Judging from the situation, the fish tally probably hasn't been found yet."
"Take it easy," Xu Yong said impatiently, pulling him back.
Wei An's heart was pounding. The waves below the cliff were huge; if he fell, he would surely die.
Wei An said weakly, "Old Master, the First Master and the others seem to be on the verge of collapse."
He was now multitasking, thinking about the gold while also worrying about the safety of the chief.
Chen Hu's ship was surrounded and attacked by three small boats.
Under the rain of arrows, figures fell like wheat being harvested.
The once azure sea turned red in an instant, with floating corpses, limbs, and blood foam rising and falling with the waves.
Everywhere you look, there they are.
"The sharks are coming."
Several sharp ridges appeared on the sea surface, and gray-black triangles, like blades, cleaved through the bloody waves and approached the battlefield.
A sharp-eyed sailor cried out in surprise.
Before the words were finished, a blue shark, over two zhang long, burst out of the water, its sharp white teeth biting down hard on a pirate who had fallen into the sea.
The man only had time to let out half a scream before he was dragged into the deep red sea, and a large amount of blood gushed to the surface.
More dorsal fins appeared, leaving death trails on the water's surface.
The pirates who fell into the water frantically struggled to climb onto the wreckage of the ship, but were dragged into the water one after another by sharks.
The sea surface churned and boiled, occasionally revealing the pale white belly and scarlet mouth of a shark.
The sailors on the official ship were so frightened by the scene that they involuntarily took a few steps back.
That's bad; our only way out is gone.
"Life and death are predestined," Xu Yong said without turning his head, his cold-bloodedness reaching its extreme.
"Chen Hu is just unlucky. We'll try to get him out of there after the government officials leave."
If the carcass was not eaten by the shark.
Wei An gritted his teeth, his hands trembling, and drew back the bowstring, aiming it at Lin Ke's heart.
Before the arrow could be shot, Xu Yong snatched it away.
"If you want to die, I can grant your wish right now."
Once the arrows are shot, and the government officials discover their location, it will cause endless trouble.
Those who surrender will not be killed!
Lin Ke's voice traveled through the sea breeze.
Chen Hu suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, his laughter mingling with blood and spittle: "My Red Shark Gang has dominated the East China Sea for decades, and we have never had a coward who surrendered!"
