Chapter 17: Pirates

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The disciples and apprentices dispersed to pick the Seven Star Grass.

After supervising Zhou You to pick a few stalks, Cheng Yiqing sent him to pick the Seven Star Grass.

Zhou You entered the dense forest and quickly lost track of the others.

The dense forest was deep and serene. Even with his eyesight, he could only see five to six meters away at most. Beyond that, there was only a patch of emerald green.

He bowed and stared at the ground, searching for traces of the Seven Star Grass.

The Seven Star Grass liked the wetness and cool environment. It mostly grew in dense forests by the water.

Berlin Bay was indeed the largest source of Seven Star Grass near Mengyang City. In just a moment, he found five Seven Star Grass and picked them to keep in his waist bag.

However, things did not go so smoothly after that. There was not a single Seven Star Grass for a long time.

Looking at the traces nearby, it turned out that someone had already beaten him to it.

The others did the same.

The entire medicine gathering team gradually spread out. Soon, they were more than a mile away and further away.

There were also many people who were skilled and bold walking toward the water.

The closer they were to the water, the denser the distribution of the Seven Star Grass.

In fact, there were even people who saw densely packed Seven Star Grass on a large rock in the water under the shadow of a slanted tree. At a glance, there were at least a dozen of them.

However, when he saw the Seven Star Grass, someone further away also saw him.

Whoosh!

A small boat cut through the calm of the lake. Then, more boats appeared one after another and quickly approached.

On it stood burly men holding all kinds of weapons. They were aggressive and it was obvious that they did not come with good intentions.

“Pirates!!” The man cried out in surprise and quickly went back the way he came.

Tan Fei was still chatting with Cheng Yiqing on the spot when he had a change in expression. He pushed himself off using the tree trunk beside him and jumped to the top of the tree with a few swooshes. He looked up in the direction of the sound.

Seeing the pirates rapidly approaching the lake, Tan Fei immediately composed himself and shouted, “Everyone, come back! There are pirates!”

There were many pirates. They were all strong men with fierce and violent auras. It was obvious that they had seen blood.

If there were Purification or Bone Tempering martial arts practitioners among them relying on their numbers to hold them back, other than Zhao Qing, the others would most likely be doomed.

This roar was like thunder, shaking the land for miles.

“The pirates are here. Run!”

“Quick! Return to Uncle-Master’s side. Uncle-Master’s a powerful martial artist. He will definitely be able to protect us.”

Even if the disciples and apprentices had learned martial arts, they did not dare to rashly provoke the pirates. They hurriedly rushed in the direction of Tan Fei’s voice.

Splash!

When the boat was about to reach the shore, the pirates jumped into the water like dumplings and swam toward the shore.

Their speed was extremely fast. It was not slower than the disciples and apprentices passing through the dense forest.

Or perhaps even faster!

On the shore, their speed did not slow down at all. They spread out according to the enemies’ movements.

Upon hearing Tan Fei’s voice, Zhou You immediately turned around and returned.

However, he had only run halfway when the dense forest in front of him suddenly shook. A bald burly man crawled out.

When he looked up and saw Zhou You, the bald burly man was delighted. A teasing smile appeared on his face.

“Little cutie, be good and go back with me. I’ll dote on you.”

He had been practicing martial arts for nearly half a year and made a breakthrough to become a martial artist. He had grown rapidly and was almost 1.8 meters tall.

Although he had been practicing martial arts for a long time, he had been cultivating internal martial arts in seclusion. He did not have the brawny muscles of other martial artists and looked slender and well-proportioned.

Coupled with his fair skin that had not been exposed to the wind and sun, there was still some youthfulness in his face, but his features were already well-defined.

It was the favorite of certain special groups.

Sensing the bald man’s fearless gaze, Zhou You felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly turned around and fled.

The strength of the enemy was unknown, so it was not appropriate to attack.

“Little cutie, you can’t run away.”

Unexpectedly, the bald man let out a sinister laugh and used both his hands and feet like a big ape. His figure darted left and right around the big trees and vines blocking the way, quickly closing the distance between him and Zhou You.

Sensing the movement behind him, Zhou You turned around and his expression changed.

“It seems he has practiced some kind of movement technique. It’s very suitable for an environment like a dense forest where obstacles exist. I can’t shake him off!”

He had been staring at him fiercely. There was no killing intent, but he did not feel any particularly powerful pressure. His strength should not be very strong.

“We ran too far just now. We’re at least 500 meters away from Uncle-Master Tan and the others. It’s impossible for them to know the situation here.”

Zhou You quickly analyzed in his heart and promptly made a decision.

When the bald man approached and a black iron-like hand tried to grab him,

Punch!

Whoosh!

His fists were like hammers, smashing down on the bald man’s head.

“You…”

The bald man’s expression changed and his legs went soft. He suddenly changed direction and rushed out from the side in an arc.

PAH!

His fists landed on the tree trunk. With a muffled sound, the tree shook violently and leaves rustled down.

Whoosh!

The bald man stabilized himself and turned back. He threw a straight punch at Zhou You’s back.

Zhou You opened his right hand and grabbed the tree trunk. His shoulders shook, and his left hand clenched into a fist and swung backward like a cannonball.

Tiger Swings Its Tail!

PAH!

Zhou You’s body shook as he took a few steps back and pressed his back against the tree trunk.

The bald man also took a few steps back and reached out to grab a vine. His entire body swung half a circle before landing steadily on the ground.

Zhou You calmed down.

The bald man’s strength was comparable to his, so there was nothing to fear.

The only thing he had to pay attention to was the other party’s strange movement technique.

In this dense forest filled with obstacles, there was actually no hindrance at all. He was like a fish in water.

As for his Ferocious Tiger Fist, it was severely affected.

If it were any other Body Forging Stage disciple from the Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo, even if their realm was slightly higher, they might not be a match for this bald man.

Unfortunately, he was different.

Facing such an environment, Zhou You had already thought of a way to deal with the attacker after a short exchange.

He could not go all out punching the bald man.

He could not use up all his strength.

The attacks could not have any fixed forms.

He had to improvise.

Zhou You’s eyes narrowed. He bent his legs and jumped off the tree trunk. He rushed forward and placed his hands in front of him.

“Ferocious Tiger Fist? Someone from the Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo?”

The bald man snorted and swung his hand. The vines flew towards Zhou You.

Pftt!

With a stomp of his feet, the bald man followed closely behind and threw a straight punch.

Facing the vines, Zhou You’s expression did not change. He flicked the vines with one hand and pushed out with the other.

PAH!

The fist and palm collided, and the two figures retreated.

The bald man reached out to grab a vine and was about to swing away when his expression suddenly changed.

Zhou You’s other hand had unknowingly appeared in front of the bald man. He raised his palm like a knife and slashed at his abdomen.

He went straight to the point!

Pftt!

The bald man curled up like a prawn. His face was covered in cold sweat, but his eyes were sharp as he slammed his head forward.

Zhou You pressed one hand on the bald man’s head, while his other hand spread open into claws and grabbed his neck, twisting it forcefully.

Crack!

The bald man immediately collapsed to the ground, dying with grievances.

Zhou You took a deep breath and rubbed his hands together.

The bald man’s strength was average. He shouldn’t be a martial artist, but his fists were heavy and hard.

Although the Ferocious Tiger Fist had skin refinement, it was only used to seal the blood. Compared to the self-harming skin refinement technique of external martial arts, the hardness was very different.

Even with brass knuckles, this problem still existed.

The effects of force are mutual.
