Chapter 773 Danger
The transaction on the second day went smoothly. Count Honglie brought coffee, mirrors, glass, perfume, and some nice things with a smile on his face in exchange for the goods on their ship.
However, Qiu He was careful and did not include the raw silk in the transaction, but kept it away.
Count Hong Lie looked at these things with great satisfaction and said, "My friend, you are welcome to come to the Galan Empire again next time."
Qiu He smiled and agreed: "It's my honor to meet someone as generous as you."
Count Hong Lie watched their ship leave the dock, and the smile on his face slowly turned ferocious: "I guess we won't see each other again."
He knew that these things would eventually return to his hands, so he gave away a lot of them generously.
The other merchants in the dark just shook their heads. It seemed that they had no chance to buy these oriental items.
No matter how much money they have, it won't be enough to buy it from the vampire Count Honglie.
Qiu He stood at the bow and waved goodbye to the dock. When he could no longer see the dock, the smile on his face disappeared.
There is a high probability that they will not encounter pirates today, but they still asked everyone to prepare for battle.
The black monsters also wear special clothes to protect them and reduce injuries during battle.
Xiao Zisen looked around and said, "We may not be able to travel fast in the first half of the journey back, so everyone should take the time to rest if they have time."
Qiu He also bought John a lot of Western medicines and medical supplies, which are now all handed over to him.
Xiao Zimu began to assign personnel: "Those who are capable of fighting should rest as much as possible when they are not fighting. Those who are not fighting should work in pairs to be on alert and guard."
"Understood." Everyone said in unison.
Xiao Zimu assigned tasks to everyone. If they encountered pirates, who would be responsible for the stern, who would be responsible for the bow, and the other two would be responsible for the left and right sides.
They didn't know whether the pirates were also equipped with muskets and guns, so he required everyone to wear bulletproof vests inside, and life-saving equipment was hung around their waists, which could be floated to the surface of the sea with just a stretch.
Now all personnel are on alert.
Their ship was traveling so fast that they encountered the pirates who were waiting for them on the first night.
"I didn't expect you guys to run so fast. I thought we would have to wait here for two or three more days." The pirates laughed as soon as they saw their ship.
Everyone had weapons in their hands and no one spoke.
The pirate saw this and said, "Why are you still standing there? We still have to report to Earl Hong Lie."
The pirates approached quickly, built planks on their ship's hull, and rushed over with machetes in hand.
As a result, before his scimitar fell, the claws of a wolf next to him had already grabbed him.
The pirate was unable to dodge and was scratched on the neck by a claw, with blood spurting out.
As the other pirate stepped onto the deck, the jackal bit his ankle and he fell into the sea.
The smell of blood in the sea attracted a group of carnivores in the sea, and the screams made the night a little creepy.
Needless to say, the fighting power of the others was great. Yuanjiu and Xiaozhuzi were holding things in their hands and guarding a cabin.
Behind them are people who don't know martial arts, but they are no longer just screaming like they were three years ago.
Now they hold weapons in their hands, staring at the direction where they can rush in from outside, ready to give the enemy a head-on blow at any time.
The pirate leader didn't expect that the people on such a ship were so good at fighting. He touched the musket at his waist and began to load gunpowder into it.
Xile saw his movements, and the weapon in his hand immediately changed: "Xibao, take care of me."
Xi Bao immediately returned to her side and stopped anyone who wanted to attack her.
Xile drew his longbow and said, "I want to see which is faster, your musket or my bow and arrow."
As she finished speaking, the arrow in her hand flew towards the pirate's neck.
The pirate leader sensed the danger, and based on his instinct, he quickly dodged the incoming arrows and raised his hand to shoot in the direction of Xile.
