Chapter 2982
2982 Captive, acquaintance? _1
Looking at the corpses on the boat, the three cultivators fell silent. Things had indeed developed as they had feared.
The only difference was that Tang Zhen didn’t kill the cultivators on the same ship. Instead, he led them to actively hunt down the cultivators on the other ships.
Looking at the number of corpses and wooden boats, it was clear that more than one group of cultivators had been killed before this.
...The three of them were unlucky enough to be discovered by Tang Zhen on the vast sea. Death was imminent.
Looking at the group of hunters holding bronze oars and making a throwing posture, the three cultivators already knew what to do.
“I surrender. I don’t want to die yet.”
One of the cultivators said to Tang Zhen as he slowly put down the bronze oars in his hand.
At this moment, he could only take a gamble and hope that Tang Zhen would keep his word.
The other two cultivators also chose to surrender, instead of putting up a resistance that would definitely kill them.
They were extremely clear that even if they doubled the number of people on their side, they would definitely not be a match for Tang Zhen’s group.
Seeing that the three cultivators on the opposite side had given up on resisting, Tang Zhen nodded his head and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“A wise choice.”
The number of corpses was already sufficient. Tang Zhen hoped to obtain some captives or helpers who “forsook the dark and join the light.”
The more manpower they had, the more power they had.
If they gathered 30 to 50 cultivators, they would be able to crush their target without any planning.
In accordance with Tang Zhen’s request, the three cultivators handed over their weapons and all their food.
Tang Zhen would distribute the corresponding food according to their performance to ensure that they would not starve to death.
If they participated in the next battle, they would also be qualified to share the spoils with the other cultivators.
The three cultivators nodded in agreement. At this moment, they had already realized the importance of food.
Of course, the reason for the internal strife was not because they were snatching food, nor was it because they had discovered the secret of the food.
The cause was just a small friction, but the result was an internal fight, and in the end, only the three of them were left.
Tang Zhen didn’t shed any blood and seized a ship full of spoils of war, as well as three prisoners.
They had seized a total of three flat-bottomed wooden boats, as well as a small boat that they had obtained by sacrificing food.
In addition to food, there was also a large pile of corpses and enough bronze oars.
These reserves were enough to fight a tough battle, and they didn’t need to panic even if they encountered sea monsters.
According to Tang Zhen’s request, the four flat-bottomed wooden boats were gathered together and then fixed with chains.
After a series of operations, the four flat wooden boats were transformed into platforms on the water, and they walked as steadily as if they were on flat ground.
Such a transformation clearly showed Tang Zhen’s attitude.
He didn’t plan to use the previous method. Instead, he planned to use the overwhelming advantage of numbers and equipment to force the enemy to surrender.
If necessary, the wooden boat could be unzipped at any time, which was an easy thing to do.
In the following time, Tang Zhen once again summoned the water ghost by sacrificing food.
Shui GUI led the way in front, and the group of cultivators followed behind. Once again, they began their hunting journey.
The three captured cultivators witnessed the entire scene and couldn’t help but feel shocked.
They had originally thought that the main purpose of food was to fill their stomachs and prevent themselves from starving to death.
After being reminded, he found out that food could heal injuries.
By relying on these food reserves, even if they had to exchange injuries for injuries, they could still exhaust the enemy to death.
In the end, he discovered that, in addition to satisfying hunger and healing injuries, food could also be used as a sacrifice to summon water ghosts.
They finally understood how Tang Zhen’s group had accurately found their position in the vast ocean.
They were both cultivators and had come into contact with similar spells before. They only needed to think a little to figure out what was going on.
By using this method, he could indeed take the initiative. No wonder he could kill so many cultivators.
When the three cultivators thought of this, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. If they had chosen to resist, they would have become corpses long ago.
The ocean that was suffused with purple light had a frightening silence. No matter how they glided on the surface of the water, they could not make the wooden boat make a single sound.
If it wasn’t necessary, cultivators would never open their mouths to speak to avoid exposing their existence.
The water ghost in charge of leading the way swam for nearly two hours before there was finally movement ahead.
The cultivators listened attentively and found that there should be more than one group of cultivators in front of them. The two sides seemed to be in a confrontation.
the situation is still unclear. Everyone, hide first. We’ll act according to the situation!
If it was just a group of cultivators, Tang Zhen would definitely lead his men and charge over, catching the other party off guard.
However, if they were facing more than two groups of cultivators, they couldn’t use such a tactic, because it was likely to cause the other party to surround and attack them.
If that was the case, it would only make things worse and make all their previous efforts go to waste.
According to Tang Zhen’s request, the group of cultivators once again concealed themselves. Once again, only Tang Zhen was left to control the flat-bottomed wooden boats that were arranged side by side.
Gently pushing the oars, Tang Zhen left the darkness and headed towards the cultivators in front.
Then, he saw that there were indeed two ships of cultivators confronting each other, and one of them was a group of familiar faces.
It was the old man who had explained the general knowledge to his disciples and the surrounding cultivators outside purple light ruins, as well as his 11 disciples.
They were in a bad situation. More than half of them were injured and were confronting the enemy with bronze oars.
Seeing how they were enduring the pain, it was clear that they still didn’t know the healing effect of food.
They couldn’t be blamed for this. To discover the healing effect of food, it must be a coincidence. Obviously, they didn’t have this luck.
The master who stayed up all night to gain knowledge about the purple light world and liked to help others clear their doubts clearly did not know that food had such a use.
However, the group of cultivators in front of him looked a little suspicious. It was very likely that they already knew the true use of the food.
However, it was only a small part of them. They definitely didn’t know that food could be used as a sacrifice to summon sea monsters. Otherwise, this group of master and disciple wouldn’t have been able to persist until now.
The purpose of their attack on the old man should be to snatch the food, but they were more cautious in their actions, which led to the current confrontation.
Tang Zhen had already made up his mind when he saw this. He continued to drive the wooden boat forward.
“It’s so lively here, I wonder if you mind if I join?”
When Tang Zhen discovered the other party, they had also discovered Tang Zhen. The difference was that Tang Zhen had taken the initiative to look for him.
If the other party knew about this, they would definitely be on high alert because this meant that Tang Zhen was the true Hunter.
Although they didn’t reveal their identities, the four wooden boats lined up together were enough to make people on high alert.
The cultivators who surrounded the master and disciple looked at Tang Zhen with vigilance. The corpses on the four wooden boats made them feel uneasy.
“Who are you? what do you want?”
A cultivator looked at Tang Zhen and asked in a cold voice. He was obviously the leader of this ship.
Before the situation was unclear, no one would dare to act rashly, and most would choose to wait and see.
Tang Zhen ignored the other party’s question. Instead, he looked at the terrified master and disciple as a smile was lifted on his cold face.
“It’s indeed a small world. I didn’t expect to meet you and your disciple again in this world of purple light.”
The old man looked at Tang Zhen. He must have recognized him as he bowed from a distance.
“So it’s you, Sir. What a coincidence.”
Tang Zhen nodded and continued,”i’ve also benefited a lot from listening to your story earlier, so it’s only right that i repay you.
I can give you a choice. Pay half of the food and follow my orders.
I’m here to help you and your disciple get out of this crisis.
If you agree, then nod your head and the agreement will take effect immediately.”
Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the expressions of the old man and the enemies surrounding them changed.
“You damn guy, what do you want to do?”
The leader of the besiegers angrily rebuked Tang Zhen. At the same time, he raised the bronze oars in his hands and prepared to attack Tang Zhen.
That old man looked at Tang Zhen. Under his gaze, he nodded his head without the slightest hesitation.
