Chapter 170 A Perfect Cooperation

Suren jumped into the sea, disappearing into the darkness.

The Windrider wasn't too far from the port. He swam a bit, used a spatial shift, and soon arrived at the U-shaped bay.

The focus of the battlefield was on Mirror Mistress and the two sixth-tiers, and no one noticed that Suren had climbed onto the rocky cliffs of the bay. This level of combat had a wide range of impact. The squad leaders could still stand aside to protect the flanks, but the low-level pirates could only stand aside, waving flags and shouting from afar.

Suren watched Mirror Mistress fight two opponents alone. Although she was struggling, she wasn't in mortal danger, so he wasn't in a hurry to join the fray.

He needed to find the right opportunity.

With so many pirates, stealth was the only option.

Suren used the communicator to notify Mirror Mistress, saying concisely, "Senior Apprentice Sister, your soul has been marked. You should be able to sense the person who marked you. My scythe can only guarantee accurate attacks within two hundred meters. I have a plan..."

Without rambling about his intentions, he directly stated the plan. The other party would definitely understand.

He only had one chance to strike, and he had to ensure a one-hit kill.

The current situation was that Mirror Mistress was besieged by "Frost Troll" Gaar and "Sunfire Vice Admiral" Gladys. She wanted to kill the person who had placed a soul mark on her, but she couldn't spare a hand.

Moreover, the squad leader wasn't weak, and he would run away.

There was also a group of other pirates watching covetously.

Therefore, the predictable outcome was that Mirror Mistress would eventually be exhausted to death by this group of pirates.

Not long after he spoke the plan, a response came from the communicator, only one word: "Okay."

He couldn't tell if she was happy or sad.

But the calmer the tone of the response, the more Suren realized how critical the situation was.

If she didn't need help, his Senior Apprentice Sister would have said so directly.

Suren didn't delay any further. He sprayed himself with deodorant potion and put on the pirate clothes he had stripped off before.

A yellowed linen shirt, a frayed brown armor, a scimitar and a musket, and a dirty red turban that looked like a rag. The pirates were at sea all year round, probably hadn't washed for half a month, and the stench of seawater and sweat was deeply ingrained in their clothes.

However, changing clothes also gave Suren a little more sense of security.

This would allow him to avoid those professionals with keen olfactory senses as much as possible.

......

Everyone's attention was on the battle on the ice.

Suren, dressed as a pirate, quietly sneaked down from the cliff.

He didn't dare to swagger into the pirates' view.

Fortunately, hundreds of pirate ships became the best cover, one next to the other, frozen on the ice.

Suren found the right opportunity, and a spatial shift appeared in a cabin of a pirate ship. This was a gun room, full of cannonballs and gunpowder. There were also several corpses on the ground with mushrooms growing on them, their deaths were hideous.

The exterior and interior of the pirate ship were equally terrible and sloppy. You can't expect those illiterate pirates to abide by the rules. It's common to urinate and defecate everywhere. The cabins where ordinary sailors lived were cramped, filled with a stench, the smell of disease and decay.

Suren didn't stop. He sensed the cabin layout of the next ship and shifted again.

The cabins were either full of corpses, or even if there were a few survivors, they were all low-level pirates in the lower cabins, so he killed them easily.

The specific location of the "target" had been determined. He was hiding in the crowd, surrounded by many squad leaders, Mirror Mistress couldn't kill him, and it was even more difficult for Suren to kill him.

He had to use ingenuity.

The great battle outside was getting more and more intense, and the shock waves were higher and higher.

Like hammering drums in his ears, the shock agitated his flesh and blood.

Using his spatial displacement ability, Suren carefully crossed the ships one by one.

Originally, he was going to kill someone, but he didn't expect that when he passed by, he actually passed through the cabin of a special "slave transport ship".

The pirates had been looting in Old Lingdun for half a day, plundering many "trophies". Not to mention the treasures, there were also slaves.

In this cabin, there were actually one or two hundred mechanics wearing white lab coats from the research institute!

Looking at the logos on their clothes, Suren immediately found the corresponding information from his memory. These guys were mechanics captured from the "No. 1 Secret Research Institute" in Old Lingdun, the place where the "Super Mechanical Warrior Project" was being manufactured.

It seemed that these pirates also knew the value of these mechanics.

They were probably going to sell them, or coveting the project.

But... in the end, not many survived.

The space on the ship was very limited. These scientists, who were treated as treasures in the Old Lingdun Secret Research Institute, were brutally stuffed into iron cages like livestock. Dozens of people were stuffed into a cage of more than ten square meters. Several cabins were densely packed and chained.

When Suren came, except for a few people who were shivering from the cold, and barely breathing, the others had become ice sculptures.

The physical fitness of research-oriented mechanics was not comparable to that of professionals. Even if they were professionals, their advancement direction was not combat ability.

The battle of the three sixth-tier professionals outside, the shock waves were higher than the other. These mechanics were locked in the slave cabin and could not avoid it.

The "Frost Troll" Gaar wasn't very smart, and the ice energy of his combat covered a wide range indiscriminately. These mechanics whose physical strength was similar to that of ordinary people couldn't escape, and most of them were frozen to death on the spot.

Suren looked at the faint "gray mist" in the cage and devoured it when he passed by.

Although the time of death was a bit long, and the soul fragments had dissipated a lot, the number was large.

This harvest gave him a lot of mechanical knowledge.

The memory fragments of scientific researchers were very pure, with very few miscellaneous memories.

Therefore, even if a lot had dissipated, the value was very high.

Theoretical knowledge, manufacturing experience, and various incomplete blueprints, parts, manufacturing experience...

A large amount of advanced mechanical knowledge suddenly appeared in Suren's mind, most of which were related to the "Super Mechanical Warrior."

This immediately gave him a lot of inspiration for making mechanical puppets, and greatly improved his mechanical knowledge.

However, in the urgent situation, he didn't bother to digest it carefully.

He moved to the next ship again.

.......

Suren told Mirror Mistress his battle plan on the communicator.

Mirror Mistress also cooperated to make the movement outside louder and louder to cover up herself in the cabin.

The plan was to kill the guy who used the "soul mark."

But a fifth-tier professional wasn't so easy to kill.

Even if Suren had the weird and unpredictable Black Scythe, it would be difficult to sneak attack.

He had learned from Mirror Mistress before that professionals generally had an instinctive ability similar to "danger perception" after advancing to the fourth tier.

Just like Suren's own "malice perception" skill, if a hostile gaze looked over, he would immediately notice it.

Moreover, this "danger perception" ability became stronger as the tier increased.

It could be said that there was almost no possibility of a low-tier professional successfully launching a sneak attack.

Therefore, he also had self-knowledge and never expected to plot against two sixth-tiers.

He didn't even have the idea.

At such a close distance, if he revealed a little bit of killing intent, he would probably be exposed instantly.

Therefore, he must not use conventional methods to lock on to the target's position.

But if he didn't look, he couldn't capture the target, and how to aim the knife was a big problem.

Suren roughly estimated the distance, and hid in the cabin. After reporting his hiding position on the communicator, he restrained his breath and waited patiently.

Waiting for Mirror Mistress to create an opportunity for him!

.......

At this moment, the entire U-shaped harbor was like a boiling elemental furnace, with ice and fire elements colliding fiercely. From time to time, there were various other high-level spells of lightning, wind, darkness, and various elemental explosions...

"Frost Troll" Gaar and "Sunfire Vice Admiral" Gladys didn't give Mirror Mistress a chance at all, entangled with her, and weren't in a hurry to kill her, planning to slowly exhaust her to death.

Although those squad leaders didn't have the qualifications to participate in the battle directly, they still had the ability to protect themselves by joining forces.

If Mirror Mistress wanted to kill the "target" who cast the soul control, they would immediately transfer the battlefield, and wouldn't entangle directly, waiting for the two pirate leaders to come.

"Hahaha... that guy is getting weaker and weaker, he's about to die!"

"Boss Gaar, smash his head!"

"..."

Mirror Mistress was like a tiger falling into a pack of wolves. Even if she was strong, she was weak and outnumbered, and was exhausted by the cunning wolves in a wheel battle.

In the atmosphere of the battle, the pirates had repeatedly seen the outcome of the battle.

Like countless times in the past, it became a "desperate struggle of a trapped beast."

But those pirates didn't realize at all that they were like a herd of sheep being driven, gradually being forced into the "predetermined area" by Mirror Mistress.

The noise in his ears was getting louder and louder. Suren was like a qualified hunter, lurking silently.

Just then, suddenly, he received a message from the communicator: "The target is at ten o'clock, on the ship 151 meters away, eight meters above the main mast of the deck."

When Suren came down from the cliff before, he had already observed the layout of the entire harbor.

The super-high degree of brain domain development allowed him to clearly remember everything he saw.

At this moment, when he heard the precise coordinates reported by Mirror Mistress, his brain operated like a machine, and he immediately calculated the target's position precisely.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and grabbed the void with his five fingers, controlling the living corpse to chop at a wooden wall in the cabin.

In order to avoid subtle calculation errors, this knife made the largest arc of horizontal slash after estimating the limit that the living corpse could bear.

Suren didn't even know who he was going to kill, how could the other party perceive it?

It was like shooting blindly with his eyes closed, whoever got hit was unlucky!

Moreover, almost at the same time, Mirror Mistress cooperated with his actions and released her killing intent, covering the entire field.

Like under the scorching sun, everyone would ignore the insignificant candlelight!

.......

As Suren waved his scythe and slashed down, suddenly, the noise outside stopped.

The pirates were huddled together watching the excitement. Suren knew that this knife must have hit some people, but he wasn't sure if it had killed the "target."

A moment later, like cold water dripping into a hot oil pan, a roar broke out outside.

"Damn it, the enemy is attacking!"

"Captain Yark was killed! Be careful, the soul chain is失效了 (shixiaole, has become ineffective)!"

"The enemy is on the 'Vulture', catch him!"

"..."

The pirates were in an uproar.

Before, the fierce tiger was tied with iron chains, so they weren't in a hurry.

Now that it was free, how terrifying would it be?

At this time, Mirror Mistress' voice came from the communicator: "Good job!"

Suren was overjoyed when he heard this, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

It was worth the risk!

Only when Mirror Mistress was out of trouble would he have a higher chance of surviving!

The living corpse died violently, and Suren didn't dare to stay at all. He collected the scythe and the shroud. He knew he had been discovered, and quickly shifted and left the cabin.

His spatial shift wasn't enough, and he couldn't possibly be faster than a high-tier professional.

Just as he shifted and appeared outside the cabin, the pirates' substantive killing intent was like hundreds of needles, stabbing at him at the same time.

He could clearly feel the pirates' violent emotions of wanting to swallow him alive.

Almost at the same instant, Suren discovered that several fifth-tier squad leaders had locked on to him at the same time. In the blink of an eye, people had already surrounded him, and he couldn't escape.

At this distance, even if Mirror Mistress wanted to save him, it was too late.

However, Suren dared to take action, how could he not have been prepared?

He had long expected that he would be surrounded and killed by a group of fourth-tier and fifth-tier pirates after being exposed.

Facing one alone, he might have a chance to escape.

Unfortunately... there were at least dozens in this harbor!

Suren wasn't flustered either. He took out a chessboard that he had prepared long ago, and then sent a ray of light towards a pirate minion not far away.

The light hit the pirate minion in an instant, and then, a scene that made the surrounding pirates extremely surprised appeared.

They watched... the two disappeared at the same time!

Several squad leaders who wanted to kill him missed, and looked at each other in a daze.

But there were also knowledgeable people who reacted instantly.

"That's a special space created by a cursed object! Seal it off, he's here, he can't escape!"

"Find a cursed object to break the space!"

"..."

A group of pirates were in chaos.

.......

This chessboard was naturally the [Steinitz's Chessboard] that Suren had obtained from Oliver Danzer before!

This treasure could pull the target into an independent space.

For a puppeteer who knew "Puppet Show," it was indeed quite useful, almost invincible at the same tier.

But it was a bit of a waste to Suren.

Because, he didn't need this thing, and he hadn't encountered an enemy among professionals of the same tier.

So he had never used it.

But obviously, it was a bit narrow-minded to only use such a good treasure for single-player use.

Suren developed a new function for it, just like in front of him, to escape from high-tier enemies.

Directly pull in a low-tier enemy, and the two would appear in this chessboard space.

Suren didn't have to face the group of pirates outside, he only had to deal with this minion in front of him.

As long as he didn't die, and the minion didn't die, the space wouldn't be unlocked.

However, the only drawback was that the space was still in its original location, equivalent to being "guarded," and he would always have to face that group of pirates after going out.

Moreover,

Suren didn't think that a pirate group that could be called a kingdom didn't have professionals who could handle this kind of spatial magic item.

Hiding in this chessboard space wasn't a long-term solution.

But at least it gave him time to breathe.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, I'm counting on you next."

In the black and white checkered space, Suren muttered in his heart, and casually wrapped the pirate minion with a blank face with silk threads.

He didn't kill him, just hung him there.

After he took action, he was exposed. He was like a bait to lure the enemy, and then he pressed the support in the middle and waited to die, with no combat power, and could only wait for the ADC to save his life.

Suren had no doubt that his Senior Apprentice Sister had this ability.

If she thought there was a problem with this plan, she would have said it before.

She would never let Suren risk his life to create an opportunity for her.

So there was a risk, but as long as the plan didn't go wrong, the chance of success was greater.

Now that things had come to this, there was no panic on Suren's face.

He took out the [Shroud of Oz the Iceman] and wrapped it around himself, and the whole person "transparently" disappeared into the air.

Then, he lay flat.

Suren, who came out of Old Lingdun, wasn't high in tier, but he had a lot of cursed objects and sealed objects.

With this "sealed object" that could completely seal his aura, no one outside could sense him.

Thinking that once the chessboard space was broken, he could hold on for a while.

The people in Old Lingdun knew that Suren had these things in his hand, but this group of pirates didn't know. By the time they figured it out, it would be enough for Mirror Mistress to take action.

.......

Suren didn't know how the battle was going outside, so he lay down quietly.

Sure enough, Mirror Mistress didn't disappoint him.

Before the pirates could break the chessboard space, suddenly, a voice came from the communicator: "Unlock the space, I'll come save you!"

Suren felt relieved when he heard this, and unhesitatingly hooked his finger and killed the pirate minion.

The chessboard space unlocked in an instant, and the tide-like killing intent attacked, and Suren's scalp went numb immediately.

Countless pirates scanned the location where Suren was with vicious eyes, and just the gazes seemed to be able to pierce through the deck.

But a moment later, they were stunned.

They found that, except for the corpse of the minion, they didn't see Suren's shadow!

No perception could detect that there was anyone else here.

Disappeared?

This thought popped up in the minds of all the pirates at the same time, and the killing intent stagnated at the same time.

Without a target, who would they kill?

Suren had just breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't want a cold air to attack overwhelmingly.

A normal person would be stunned for a moment, but there was still an idiot in this pirate group!

The reckless "Frost Troll" Gaar didn't care if there was anyone or not, and angrily raised his mace and smashed it over.

"What a strong combat intuition!"

Suren sighed in his heart for a moment, and didn't move, because at this time, a figure faster than the ugly giant flashed over.

She accurately grabbed Suren who was lying flat on the ground, shook her bat wings behind her, and immediately flashed out towards the bay.

......

"I'm saved!"

Suren only felt himself flying into the sky quickly, and a strong sense of super gravity came, but his heart instantly relaxed.

Even with a person, Mirror Mistress' speed was extremely fast, and the wind was howling in his ears.

The "Frost Troll" Gaar on the ground ran wildly on the ice all the way, and finally roared to the sky, unable to chase any longer.

Even the bald woman who had transformed into a humanoid dragon was much slower than Mirror Mistress. Moreover, she was alone, and even if she caught up, she couldn't do anything.

Before long, the Black Reef Fortress behind him disappeared into the horizon.

The last killing intent that was locked on him also disappeared.

He was finally out of danger...

However, Suren's face turned ugly again when he looked at the storm zone full of lightning and thunder in the distance ahead.

The Windrider had entered the chaotic storm belt...

He asked on the communicator, and the ship wouldn't sink for a while, but they were experiencing the power of nature for the first time, and the course was completely out of control. A group of people with no experience in controlling the ship were drifting with the waves in the storm...

And the worst thing was that Mirror Mistress spat out a mouthful of turbid blood.

ps. Brothers, don't say in the comments that I'm going to collapse something, okay? From the first day I started writing the book, countless people said that this was going to collapse, that was going to collapse, the monetary system collapsed, the combat power collapsed, the plot collapsed... but it hasn't collapsed until now. At least writing here, I dare say that a long section of the future plot is within the outline, and it won't collapse. Don't be a prophet, okay? If you really want to say it, wait until the day I really collapse, then say it, okay? I will definitely lie down and be scolded at that time. It's really messing with the author's mentality... Next month, I will try not to be a salted fish...
