Chapter 67: Chapter 67
At this moment, Xi Qianxue had lost her combat strength due to the severe overuse of her magic power. Daniu and another member did not dare to stray far, worried that Xi Qianxue might run into an accident.
Hearing Xi Qianxue’s order and with the arrival of reinforcements, the other students finally settled down.
Those students whose magic power has not yet been used up, immediately launched their own magic towards the last intact ship. The magic missles and several strange spherical magics were cast, demonstrating that there was more than one universal skill of the magic-class. Some of them had a flame attribute, and when they hit the sails, they set them on fire.
Due to the large number of magics, the pirates could not rescue half of them in time, so when the sails were completely ignited, the pirates felt desperate.
"Damn navy, they want us all to die here, we can’t let them get away with it even if we die."
"Oh God, how could this happen, I don’t want to die yet."
"Quickly, put out the fire, what are you standing there for, the sails are about to burn out."
The pirates were in chaos. In just a short period of time, they had become more chaotic than the navy ship. But without the sails, they had no way to accelerate. Now it was truly impossible for them to escape.
The barracuda had a vicious look on his face, but he had no chance to escape now. Having lost too much blood, he was already dizzy and weak. Faced with the old captain’s sharp attack, the barracuda could now only barely protect himself.
Du You’s skeletons had already died, but Du You’s arrows still maintained a state of suppression.
Finally, the old captain found an opportunity and thrust his sword into the barracuda’s heart. The barracuda reacted and stared unwillingly at the old captain. "Someday, you will also go down and accompany me."
"Everyone will die, but the value of death is different." The old captain smiled indifferently and pulled out his sword.
With blood gushing out, the leader of this group of pirates, the barracuda, finally died here.
"What a pity." Du You shook his head. He was only relying on his arrows and could not compete with the old captain for the final strike. The last blow was not his own, so he got no rewards.
This made Du You more convinced that in the future battles, he must land the final blow, or else it would be too much of a loss.
The damn rules of this world were really stingy and miserly, Du You thought to himself.
"Young man, you did a good job, just like that girl, when you go back, I will reward your deeds."
Du You nodded slightly, without saying anything. As for rewards, they were of no use to him. "We just did what we were supposed to do. Let’s intercept the other pirates first."
"You’re right, go ahead, I’ll back you up here." The intense fight just now had exhausted the old captain’s strength, and it was impossible for him to participate in the upcoming fight anymore.
Of course, if any pirate thinks the old captain is easy to bully and dares to come to provoke, the old captain definitely will teach them a lesson.
It seemed that the key to the old captain killing the barracuda was whether or not someone was there to help. If no one had helped, it was likely the pirates would have destroyed the navy’s disguised ship and escaped after killing all of the navy.
Du You gained a clearer understanding of some rules of the Derived World.
Running to the side of the ship, Du You put away his longbow once again and took out his longsword which he started to swing at the pirates, starting the slaughter.
Of course, it was a slaughter this time, not as tense as before, and Du You didn’t continue to use the Phantom Sword Shadows skill. It would be bad if someone noticed. Didn’t anyone notice that Teacher Li was observing everywhere? Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽
But even so, as long as he didn’t encounter too many pirates at once, Du You was not afraid of these pirates relying on his own swordsmanship. One pirate after another was killed, and a few spheres were finally obtained in his hands.
Upon seeing the spheres in Du You’s hand, others instantly became crazier. Some students who showed cowardice before, not knowing if they were trying to redeem their image, behaved even crazier than Du You.
That kind of madness, was like a rabid dog chasing its prey. The continued chaos of the pirates, gave them a chance to fight back.
Before long, the navy ships finally approached. The loss of the leader caused a significant decrease in morale, and without a single commander, the pirates became even more chaotic, leaving them no chance to fight back at this point.
The nearby navy ships rushed up, also tossing out grappling hooks, their fighting style almost identical to that of the pirates.
The hooks caught the ship and then the energetic navy charged over like a herd of wolves. Better equipped, stronger, and with the advantage of waiting comfortably for the pirates, the navy men were not something these pirates could resist at all.
An all-out melee began, and in less than half an hour, the pirates were slaughtered. Surprisingly, not a single pirate surrendered, which was strange.
"According to the laws in various places, under normal circumstances, once a pirate is discovered, they must be hanged. They know that once they are caught, it’s a dead-end. So when pirates rob on the sea, they generally don’t leave survivors, and they will not surrender when they are besieged by the navy." The boss seemed to see their confusion and started to explain.
Du You nodded. He seemed to have heard this rule before, but that was in his previous life.
It seemed that many principles were the same, and he needed to observe more. But thinking about it was too troublesome. When encounters happened, it was best to just go ahead and attack. With enough strength, who would be afraid of who?
"The battle is over, I believe you all have gained much insight. Go back and reflect on it. In another week, come back to school and continue to participate in the second acclimation to the Derived World."
After a pause, Teacher Li continued, "Of course, if you go to the Derived World by yourself, it’s also a good choice. It’s even better for you to adapt on your own, and it also doesn’t waste school resources. That is to say, it doesn’t matter whether you come next time or not."
After all, they were all awakeners. Teacher Li didn’t care about their choices. Everyone was free. The Professional University in this world had more freedom than ordinary universities in his previous life. After all, they were all fighting for their future and lives. If they didn’t take it seriously, then maybe death was the best result.
"Look, what’s going on over there?"
Suddenly someone shouted. Everyone looked into the distance, where countless fragments appeared in the air, spreading endlessly. It seemed as if the whole world was shattering.
Meanwhile, the navy was still celebrating as if they had not seen this scene at all. It was very strange.
"This is the end of the Derived World and the beginning of the cycle. Don’t make a fuss, this kind of thing will happen a lot in the future."
