Master of the End Times

Chapter 661: Pirates

As precaution, the Human Alliance would send people here to clean things up every year. People who died or disappeared in the process were beyond count.

The Abyssal Ocean was a place just like its name suggested. What Qin Feng saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

Qin Feng led his men back into the vessel. They planned to submerge once again.

On the other side, men on Bai Wei’s vessel were stunned. One of his subordinates asked carefully, “Sir, are we still tailing them?”

As he watched Qin Feng’s submarine disappear from the sea surface, he shook his head. Bai Wei did not dare to explore an area full of Devil Sharks.

“Why should we? What benefit would I get?”

There was indeed nothing left for him to pluck. As such, Bai Wei decided to turn back. He wondered whether Qin Feng would start manufacturing vessels in the East Sea. If so, he was willing to rent one even if it was expensive. The firepower of the vessel was something to behold.

Qin Feng’s vessel continued to wander in the unknown sea. A deep-sea vessel could stay under the sea for half-a-month without the need to replenish. However, Qin Feng did not plan to stay here all day.

Besides, the crew on board was hired at a hefty cost. He would need to replace them once they returned to the shore. Qin Feng did not mind spending the money but he was unwilling to help feed other people’s men.

Deep-sea Feng Li rampaged through the rough Abyssal Ocean. The C-tier gunners onboard were spirited and hunted eagerly.

In less than half a day, Qin Feng had earned enough to cover the crew’s salary and obtained ample materials.

The vessel resurfaced again with the loots.

Before they were completely out on the sea surface, an alarm began to ring on the scanner.

“It’s an SOS signal!”

“There’s an unknown vessel detected by the sonar!”

“Sir, I suspect it’s the Dark Coalition. What should we do?” The C-tier gunners were nervous.

The vessels of the Dark Coalition were often custom-made and privately owned. As such, their ships were constantly upgraded and perfected. In contrast, deep-sea vessels of other aptitude users were usually rented. As a result, the Dark Coalition’s vessels normally had a huge advantage over theirs.

Hence, aptitudes users in the ocean often avoided confrontation with members of the Dark Coalition.

However, right now, they had no other choice but to fight them.

“Are they pirates? Which faction do they belong to?” Qin Feng asked calmly.

Power factions that were active around this ocean were only that few. Qin Feng could count them out with one hand.

One of the crew members acted swiftly and dispatched a waterproof drone. It glided through the sea surface and transmitted the live-feed back to the submarine’s display.

Qin Feng’s crew immediately recognized the party this submarine belonged to at one glance.

Sun Tianyuan immediately reported, “Master Qin, it’s the Sea Devil. They belong to a dark organization named none other than the Sea Devil. It was jointly established by three B-tier aptitude users. At least two B-tiers would be on board every time they are out on the sea. Their leaders are B4-tier ice ability user Chen Sha, B3-tier water ability user Wang Yangying, and B1-tier ancient warrior Yang Qian.”

Sun Tianyuan’s face turned extremely pale. He was trembling out of fear. The Sea Devil was one of the most frightening pirate groups in this Abyssal Ocean.

Three B-tiers on one vessel was astonishing. They might not earn enough by hunting beasts but it was a different story if they were to hunt and rob other users.

Members of the Dark Coalition were famous for their merciless and cruel nature. There was basically no escape once you bump into them.

“Governor, let’s retreat now. Perhaps they still haven’t detected us,” He Jia said nervously.

The best way out of this was to stay unnoticed and flee as quickly as possible.

Qin Feng frowned and said coldly, “What’s there to be afraid of? There are only two B-tiers. Ascend and blast at them!”

“Er...”

“Sir, they will take revenge if we provoke them.”

“It’s unwise to do so. Guns are just... guns.”

Guns could blast beasts easily but were less effective against humans, especially when the opponents also had gunners onboard. The one who would win the shootout depended greatly on the skill level.

Besides, no matter how powerful the energy blaster was, it was only a weapon. A two-hundred-meter-wide deep-sea vessel was scary, but a B-tier aptitude user who could destroy a city easily was even scarier!

“Shut up!” Qin Feng ordered angrily. He expanded his consciousness and displaced the members who were initially controlling the vessel. He took over the control and steered the vessel upward.

Abruptly, a silver vessel emerged from the sea. The loot being dragged behind its tail was especially glaring.

On the Sea Devil, Yang Qian commanded the vessel to bomb a third-generation vessel—the Overlord 07. This vessel was relatively cheap and so its defense system was only average. Naturally, it became Yang Qian’s easy target.

While the prey was struggling to escape, it was to Yang Qian’s surprise that they had called in reinforcement.

Not only that, but the newly emerged vessel had substantial loot on its tail. They had probably stumbled across their battle by accident.

“Haha, what a lucky day! My crew, take the other vessel down too!” Yang Qin laughed joyfully.

But the next moment, the smile froze on his face. His expression then turned into great shock.

“F*ck!” Yang Qian cursed as he saw a blinding laser flying toward them. The energy carried by the blast was no joke. Yang Qian could sense that its power was strong enough to threaten their lives.

Blitz!

The laser struck the bullseye on the Sea Devil.

The shield of the vessel was turned on at all times. It suddenly lit up brightly as if it was being recharged.

But the radiance dimmed rapidly. In less than a minute, the force field protecting the vessel promptly collapsed!

Only scattered light remained around the shield. The laser continued to tear apart the air and landed on the outer shell of the submarine.

Blitz!

Immediately, the submarine was perforated by the laser. More so, the laser did not disappear before it traveled for another twenty meters.

Boom!

A giant explosion engulfed everything in front of their eyes.

There were a lot of delicate instruments inside the vessel. Qin Feng was indeed aiming for the core of the submarine where most of the machinery was jam-packed.

The explosion was traumatizing. A loud boom shook the sky and the sea. The after impact created sea waves as high as eight to nine meters.

At the same time, the B-tier user on the pinned down Overlord 07, who was preparing to lunge forward and fight, was rooted on the deck. Behind him, his crew cheered uproariously.

“Ally!”

“Damn! What was with that blast!? Someone is here to save us!”

“It was destroyed. They destroyed the Sea Devil! Woohoo!”

These aptitude users exclaimed and shouted victoriously.

But soon, they slowly regained themselves and asked with a shaking voice, “Boss, should we retreat now?”

After the explosion quieted down, an unnerving iceberg appeared out of nowhere. Around it were the wreckages of the Sea Devil.

The scariest part of all this was the man standing on the tip of the iceberg.

B4-tier ice ability user—Chen Sha.

Unfortunately, the man on the Overlord 07 was only a B1-tier wind ability user. His name was Yu Yangtao.

The power gap was obvious.

“We can’t run. I am not going to leave the other ship behind. They have just saved us!”
