259 Strange News in the Sea Corpse (1)

In the sky, a black wooden ship was whistling forward, breaking through the clouds at an extremely fast speed. The air was torn apart, creating loud sounds.

Its target was the island of the Sea Corpse Race that was ten days away from here.

Through the nautical chart distributed during the Seven Blood Eyes War, Xu Qing knew that although that place was an island, its size actually far surpassed that of the islands of the merfolk race. Its size was about 10% of the Nanhuang Continent.

On this black wooden ship, Xu Qing and the captain finally decided on a plan for this trip after many discussions.

“We’ll be able to reach the Sea Corpse Race in ten days. Your plan is good, but it won’t be a problem to carry it out in a few days. Why do I feel that you are quite eager?”

On the black wooden ship, the captain looked at Xu Qing and asked suspiciously.

The two of them had discussed the plan to infiltrate the Sea Corpse Race for a day. The reason why it took so long was because the captain actually didn’t have a plan. His plan was to adapt to the situation after infiltrating the island.

Xu Qing didn’t agree to such a plan.

Hence, after some thought, he proposed a target: How could they enter the location of an ancestral corpse statue in the fastest way?

With this target, the plan became simple. The fastest way was to be personally escorted by the cultivators of the Sea Corpse Race as soon as they entered the island.contemporary romance

This way, they wouldn’t waste any time.

Xu Qing and the captain had already discussed how to accomplish this. That was to be injured!

The third princess was heavily injured and barely managed to escape. Hence, the first thing she did was to recuperate. Her identity also determined that she would definitely be sent to the location of an ancestral corpse statue.

After all, according to the information bought by the captain, other than being able to transform the dead into their race, the ancestral corpse statues also possessed astonishing healing effects.

Hence, the captain’s words of doubt from before.

“If an injury is formed just recently, outsiders will see through it at a glance. This won’t be good.”

Xu Qing shook his head. After glancing at the captain, he spoke again.

“I’ll add some every day and in ten days, the new and old injuries combined will make the situation look more real!”

The captain’s suspicions didn’t diminish. He looked at Xu Qing, wanting to infer something from his face. He wondered if Xu Qing was using this to take revenge.

Xu Qing looked into the captain’s eyes without dodging.

Looking at Xu Qing’s gaze, the captain sighed. He recalled that he had taught Xu Qing this method, and now, even he couldn’t tell if the latter was lying or not.

However, he was a decisive person. He took out a dagger and stabbed himself in the stomach; blue blood flowed out and soaked his robe.

“It’s just a small thing. What’s the big deal?” The captain said nonchalantly and even took a bite of the apple.

Xu Qing shook his head.

“Captain, self-inflicted wounds are different from injuries caused by others. For our plan, you will have to suffer a bit. Let me help you with this.”

The captain stopped chewing on the apple and glared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked into the captain’s eyes seriously. After a moment of silence, the captain sighed and threw the dagger in his hand over, opening his arms wide.

“Come.”

Xu Qing smiled slightly. After he walked closer with the dagger, he stabbed the captain’s stomach. After that, he pulled it out and stabbed again. He felt an indescribable comfort as he did this.

The captain’s breathing was hurried as he endured the pain. Xu Qing pulled the dagger out and stabbed the captain’s thigh. He then slammed the captain’s chest with the power of Sea Transformation Art.

The captain spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale. Xu Qing didn’t stop and continued to slash rapidly. Very soon, the captain’s entire body was covered in blood. He looked extremely miserable and weak.

“Enough, enough, Xu Qing!!”

Xu Qing stopped with some regret. His heart felt very relieved after slashing the captain. After he stopped, he looked at the captain’s left leg and wondered if he should cut there tomorrow.

Seeing that Xu Qing’s gaze had landed on his leg, the captain’s eyelids twitched. He looked Xu Qing up and down and suddenly spoke.

“Deputy Xu, as a Dao Protector, your protectee, the princess, is injured so badly, but you’re actually fine. This doesn’t make sense.”

Xu Qing’s smile froze.

“So, in order to complete our great plan, you will also have to suffer a bit. It’s fine, I’ll help you.” The captain’s lips curled into a smile that was not a smile. His heart was filled with anticipation as he took the dagger back from Xu Qing and stabbed it fiercely into Xu Qing’s thigh.

Xu Qing wanted to dodge but he had to admit that what the captain said made sense. Hence, he took a deep breath and endured. He lifted his head and glanced at the captain, allowing the captain’s blade to stab into his thigh.

Xu Qing gritted his teeth fiercely.

The captain leaped up excitedly and quickly stabbed him three times in the stomach. There was also a bloodstain on his neck and there were marks near many important organs on his body.

Seeing that his flesh was badly mangled, Xu Qing suddenly took a step back and stared at the captain as he spoke hoarsely.

“Your right leg has many injuries but your left leg doesn’t. This doesn’t make sense.” As he spoke, Xu Qing waved his hand and a dagger appeared, piercing into the captain’s left leg.

The captain bared his teeth and stabbed Xu Qing again. Just like that, the two of them attacked each other… After a long time, they both stopped and panted as they leaned against the handrail. They both looked to be severely injured.

“Xu Qing… I don’t think there’s a need to be so injured every day. We have to escape when we’re being chased, right?” the captain said weakly.
