Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2395: Chapter 2396: Looting a Burning House

”Quick, go! Whatever she poured into the cannon must be a problem!” The Black Boss was anxious and was about to rush down himself. Just then, Zhou Jue and his men closed in again and shot arrows at the Black Pirate Ship using their inner strength.

The Black Boss, in anger, grabbed a flaming arrow and threw it fiercely at Bai Ruozhu, ignoring Jiang Yichun.

Bai Ruozhu lightly jumped, dodging the arrow the Black Boss threw, and landed on another cannon.

The other Black Pirates tried to block the flaming arrows, and while they were busy, Bai Ruozhu had already poured poison into the second cannon.

”Withdraw the cannons!” The Black Boss shouted urgently.

Without a foothold, Bai Ruozhu landed back on the small boat.

”You’re courting death!” The Black Boss yelled through gritted teeth, no longer as calm as before. He had already guessed Bai Ruozhu’s purpose.

The Black Pirates shot arrows at Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun. Bai Ruozhu used a magic technique again, but her essence was limited and she couldn’t hold on for long. Fortunately, Jiang Yichun wielded his Sword Flower skillfully, causing the arrows to fall into the sea.

”Let’s retreat first.” Jiang Yichun narrowed his eyes, looking at the closed cannon hatches on the side of the Black Pirate Ship, which were tightly sealed with iron covers. Under such intense attacks, it would be difficult for them to poison those positions further.

Bai Ruozhu nodded. They had almost achieved their goal. Although she only poisoned two cannons, cannons were rare at this time, and the Black Boss cherished them greatly. Seeing two malfunctioning cannons, he dared not use them rashly.

The two retreated safely back to their ship, while the Black Pirate Ship quickly pursued.

Fortunately, the small boat was lightweight. With Jiang Yichun controlling the water and Bai Ruozhu using her inner strength to propel them, the Black Pirate Ship couldn’t catch up.

”Not good, they’re going to ram our ship!” Old Ding shouted excitedly from the ship, which triggered a violent cough.

”Damn it, they’re a bunch of madmen!” Even the normally refined Li Jin couldn’t help but curse.

Yizi’s face turned pale, ”Don’t they care about their lives? Aren’t they afraid their ship will be damaged?”

”Turn three points to the right, don’t let them hit the midsection of the ship.” Old Ding shouted while suppressing his cough, causing everyone on the ship to spring into action. They were all on edge, but the crisis also brought out their potential, and the turn was executed much more smoothly than usual.

As soon as Bai Ruozhu returned to the ship, she didn’t even have time to speak, her brow furrowed tightly. She realized the impending collision was unavoidable and hoped Yuan Licheng’s array could withstand it.

Then, Yizi suddenly rushed to the center of the array, determination in her eyes, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

”You fool, why use the blood essence from your tongue tip? Do you want to die?” Yuan Licheng quickly reacted, couldn’t help but shout.

Bai Ruozhu rushed to support Yizi, upset, ”It’s not time to be reckless yet. You don’t take care of yourself!”

Blood still at her lips, Yizi smiled at Bai Ruozhu, ”I hope it helps. Be careful, everyone.”

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes heated up, and tears welled up. This girl was really foolish.

Yizi understood as soon as she asked that even if their ship was rammed by the Black Pirate Ship, it wouldn’t end well. Even if she didn’t fully understand, she could see the Black Pirate Ship was far superior to theirs.

And soon, a row of sharp spikes emerged from the bow of the Black Pirate Ship, which deepened Yizi’s understanding, so she was willing to risk injury to help the ship withstand the blow. She didn’t want everyone on board to perish at sea.

As the Black Pirate Ship drew closer, their ship finally presented its stern to them.

Without waiting for an explanation, Bai Ruozhu understood Old Ding’s reasoning. She remembered watching a foreign shipwreck movie in a previous life, where the side of the ship was struck by an iceberg, leading to rapid flooding and sinking.

She recalled someone saying if the bow had rammed the iceberg, the casualties might not have been so severe. So she understood Old Ding’s intent quickly. If the Black Pirate Ship breached their midsection, the entire vessel would be doomed.

Finally, the anticipated first collision hit with a bang. The ship shook violently, causing many people to fall to the ground.

Inside the Ship Cabin, cries filled the air, and many women began to weep. Were they doomed today?

Bai Ruozhu struggled to steady herself, observing that the ship, although heavily shaken, had not suffered damage. The array had deflected the impact!

But in the next moment, her heart sank as Yuan Licheng suddenly fell to one knee, spitting out blood.

”Licheng!” Fo Lanying rushed to support him, ”Are you okay?”

”I’m fine, I can hold on a bit longer,” Yuan Licheng said weakly.

On the Black Pirate Ship, the Black Boss wore a sinister grin, shouting, ”Let’s see how many times you can dodge; ram them hard!”

Old Ding, having fallen to the ground, said in a trembling voice, ”Just keep going at full speed, don’t mind them.”

All they could do was flee, but how could their ship’s speed compare to the Black Pirate Ship’s?

After the collision, the two ships were very close, prompting Jiang Yichun and Gao Zhou to jump over, charging toward the Black Boss.

Catching the leader to capture the bandits, this was their only chance.

Yet, the Black Boss’s mouth curled into a strange smile. Suddenly, he had a Shu Mountain Sword Array formed in front of him, blocking Jiang Yichun and the others from advancing.

The Black Pirate Ship seemed to go berserk, ramming at the official ship once more. Many on board instinctively closed their eyes—could they survive a second time?

At that moment, a massive tentacle reached onto the ship and suddenly swept away a hapless sailor, who screamed once before falling into a glowing green mouth.

The Black Boss was startled, too, not wishing to provoke a deep-sea beast, gesturing, ”Avoid it! Don’t engage directly with the Sea Monster.”

”It’s the Sea Monster from last time; look at its head!” Fo Lanying shouted. Bai Ruozhu also noticed that the once smooth, bald head of the Sea Monster had become pitted and clearly decayed, leaking black water.

Bai Ruozhu sneered, thinking if she couldn’t even harm the Sea Monster after using so much poison, her study of the ”Poison Classic” would be in vain.

”It’s here to take advantage of the chaos,” a clear voice rang out. Wa Wei emerged, supporting Duannian.

No, it was more like Wa Wei was practically carrying him out.
