We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 213 The Silver Wolf Under the Moonlight, the Location of the Treasure
"Your Holiness!"

When the natives saw Shane standing in front of the flying axe, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

After all, compared to the powerful and heavy throwing axe, Shane's body still seemed too thin and frail.

Behind him, Sha Jingjing's eyes widened, her face turned pale, and her expression was full of worry.

But the next moment.

Contrary to many people's expectations, the fiercely flying axe did not cleave Shane in two, but was instead caught in his hand!
The speed and power of a throwing axe are so great that the difficulty of doing so is even greater than catching a bullet with bare hands.

After gripping the throwing axe, Shane turned to look in one direction in the desert.

A very tall vampire rushed out, dressed entirely in dark gold armor, extremely magnificent.

He stared furiously at the corpses of vampire warriors scattered on the ground, glaring at the natives on the Moonlight Ship, and roared.

"You stinking dogs, you all have to die!"

Judging from the force with which the vampire threw the axe, he was at least a fourth-tier Mystic, skilled in brute force melee combat, and his combat strength was quite remarkable.

Despite his arrival, Xia En remained calm and simply raised his throwing axe and hurled it at the vampire!
hum!
The flying axe sliced ​​through the air with a terrifying shriek, flying towards the tall vampire at an even faster speed than it had come.

The vampire, who was roaring angrily just a second ago, immediately felt a sense of impending death.

His expression changed drastically, and he grabbed a heavy shield to shield himself.

clang!
The flying axe struck the heavy shield hard, shattering the shield's mystical light instantly, and then the shield surface itself was torn to pieces.

The tall vampire staggered back several steps, and several cracks appeared on his armor.

His face turned pale, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Even the crimson flying axe couldn't withstand such a violent impact and shattered into several pieces.

The tall vampire then raised his head and looked at Xia En, who was standing in mid-air, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"Captain of the Black Swan... Shaun!?"

Xia En raised an eyebrow in surprise: "You actually know me?"

He had been out of the public eye in the Cold Sea for a long time, and his reputation was no longer as prominent as it was when he sank the Blood Duke.

Even Twilight didn't recognize his identity, so how did this vampire recognize him?

Suddenly, Shane noticed a badge on the vampire armor.

A scarlet rose is painted on it.

Xia En immediately understood: "You're from the Nova family?"

After a brief moment of shock, the tall vampire recovered and grinned menacingly, "I didn't expect you to still be alive!"

"But that's perfect, the hatred of the Nova family must be washed away with the blood of the enemy!"

Before he finished speaking, the tall vampire took a hand cannon powered by secret energy from his waist and began to fire it.

A barrage of blood-red and fiery projectiles hurtled toward Xia En like streaks of light.

The principle behind this hand cannon is exactly the same as that of the Twin Flowers in Twilight's hand; both use the secret power of the vampires as ammunition, and their power is quite astonishing.

Xia En took another step, his figure weaving through the shadows, each step covering a distance of tens of meters.

It was nighttime, and even with a full moon hanging high in the sky, the desert was still shrouded in shadow.

For Shaun, who has thoroughly studied the Book of Shadows, this is his home turf right now!

At this moment, the other vampires also noticed the rapidly moving figure and saw the tall vampire's actions, so they attacked him without hesitation.

Some vampires pounced on them like wolves and tigers.

Some used secret weapons similar to the Twin Flowers.

—This was a secret weapon they had prepared to deal with the special environment of the Sand Island, but now it was being used on Shane.

All of a sudden.

A vast, fiery rain of crimson light engulfed Xiaen.

However, when those crimson streaks of light reached Xia En's side, they all encountered some kind of great resistance, their speed rapidly slowed down, and they disappeared within a few seconds.

It was as if it had been wiped away by an invisible hand.

It seems like...

The shadows that had been surrounding Xia En suddenly came to life, tearing, dissolving, and devouring all the blood-red light that approached.

This is precisely the effect of [Great Darkness].

Although on Sand Island, Xia En was unable to replicate the miraculous scene on Ten Thousand Ships Island, the range of his domain was greatly reduced, and he could only cover an area within three meters around himself.

But it was precisely because of this that Shane developed another way to use the [Great Dark Heaven].

By continuously compressing the area, its effectiveness, defensive capabilities, and sturdiness are greatly enhanced.

This area, with a radius of three meters, is Shane's most robust armor.

Any external attack will be suppressed by the [Great Dark Heaven], or even absorbed directly.

The vampires, of course, were unaware of these inside stories.

All they knew was that their attacks on Xia En were like throwing mud into the sea, having no effect whatsoever, let alone leaving any wounds on him.

Those vampires who had charged towards Shain suddenly felt a darkness before their eyes.

The heavy darkness seemed to surge in from all directions, engulfing their entire world.

Immediately, an irresistible pressure descended.

All the vampires who were brought close by Shane fell to the ground.

Those with weaker strength simply heard a series of cracking sounds from their bodies.

Even the strongest vampires could barely hold on; they couldn't even run away.

However, they no longer need to run.

Xia En strolled leisurely through them as if walking in a garden. Blood splattered as he swung his crimson greatsword, and the strongest vampires were the first to turn into corpses.

In the blink of an eye.

The vampires who had launched the attack earlier had fallen in large numbers, which caused the remaining vampires to stop in surprise, with a hint of fear appearing in their eyes.

They had no idea how their companions had fallen, let alone how to hurt Shane.

It is this unknown enemy that is more frightening.

But they stopped, while Shane did not.

With each step he took, he would appear without warning behind a vampire, the power of the Great Dark Heaven directly crushing them.

Even without Xia En lifting a finger, these vampires' bones would be broken in half, or at the very least, they would be seriously injured.

The power of a domain is that domineering when facing low-level secret cultivators!
Upon witnessing this scene, the tall vampire's eyelids twitched incessantly, his heart filled with resentment.

He had noticed long ago that Xia En's gaze had been fixed on him, but he hadn't made a move against him yet.

It was obvious that the other party wanted him to watch other vampires die in front of him.

"Damn it!"

The tall vampire's eyes turned bloodshot, veins bulging: "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to drain your blood!"

chi chi...

As the blood mist spread, the vampire's body twisted and distorted, continuously expanding.

Under the moonlight, he suddenly transformed into a hideous bat monster, very similar to the old gentleman from the Blood Moon Secret Realm.

However, this vampire, transformed into a bat monster, was even larger and more powerful.

It is over five meters long, extremely robust, and its claws are thicker than an average person's thigh.

It has huge, sharp spikes on its shoulders, elbows, and knees, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

His aura was many times stronger than that of the old gentleman from before. Having dealt with vampires for so long, Xia En naturally knew that this was considered the vampire's "second form".

However, Xia En is no longer the same as before. He didn't even use his "second stage" or "third stage" abilities. He rushed directly in front of the bat monster and slashed down with his sword.

An extremely powerful body, a heavy and terrifying domain, coupled with pure secret power...

With all three combined, this sword strike was almost unstoppable!
The bat monster was terrified and raised its claws, desperately trying to block the sword strike.

laugh!
Blood splattered as the bat monster was cleaved in two.

However, it did not die after splitting into two halves.

Half of its body flew away at high speed, while the other half rushed towards Sha Jingjing on the Moonlight Ship like a streak of light.

This person knew from the beginning that he was no match for Xia En and wanted to escape.

He also noticed that Sha Jingjing held a very high position among the natives, and that subduing this girl could delay the situation for a long time.

Xia En naturally wouldn't let this person escape, but protecting Sha Jingjing would inevitably waste a lot of time.

Xia En turned his head and saw Sha Jingjing nod firmly at him.

That's saying—"Please believe me!"

Without further hesitation, Xia En chased after the fleeing streak of blood-red light.

After he crushed the blood-red light, he turned his head and saw...

Under the moonlight, on the Moonlight Ship, a giant silver wolf opened its jaws and bit down on half of a blood-red bat, rendering it completely immobile.

The vampire's regenerative abilities seemed to be somewhat restrained by those wolf fangs.

The bat monster, bleeding profusely, stared at them with venomous eyes and cursed.

"It really is a disgusting big dog."

"When Lord Twilight arrives... you will all die a horrible death!"

Its breath gradually weakened, and it soon died completely, turning into a pool of putrid, foul blood.

Seeing their strongest warrior fall, the remaining vampires lost all will to fight and finally began to rout.

The natives continued to take their lives with poisoned arrows.

With Shane's intervention, not a single vampire was able to escape.

After annihilating the enemy, Shane looked at the giant wolf under the moonlight with curiosity.

It must be said that at this moment, Sha Jingjing possesses a unique charm.

This giant wolf has a taut and strong body, full of explosive power, plump but not too bulky, and looks elegant and dangerous.

Its silver fur was slightly spread out, fluffy and soft, with each hair tip shimmering with a faint luster, as smooth as silk.

It makes you want to touch it.

—In fact, that's exactly what Shane did.

"Woo!"

Sha Jingjing, who had just had her head rubbed by Xia En, was startled: "Captain Xia En, what are you doing!"

"It feels really good."

Xia En stroked her from the back of her head to her spine, the touch smooth, like petting her own big dog in a past life.

However, Sha Jingjing was clearly not used to this intimate caress, and her voice even became a little strange.

"No, stop touching me..."

"Waaah! No tail!"

"At least... not in front of everyone..."

She was verbally protesting, but her ears were twitching slightly in pleasure, and her tail was swaying from side to side, clearly indicating that she was in a very good mood.

Fortunately, the other natives were busy cleaning up the mess, so they didn't cast any strange glances at them.

Xia En looked at the silver wolf in front of him, his thoughts churning.

"So it seems that the so-called [Moon Wingers] must be the werewolves I've been thinking of!"

"In this world, vampires and werewolves also have a long-standing feud?"

"However, the number of werewolves is significantly less than that of vampires. Could their feud be related to the [Lord of Radiance] and the [Lord of Crimson]?"

He has too little information to make an accurate judgment.

Soon, Xia En looked at the ruins where the blood and fire were gradually dying down.

That place was clearly once a gathering place for the Moon Wanderer Clan.

Many indigenous people have died in the raging fire, their bodies burned to a crisp, and their former houses and buildings have been almost completely destroyed.

Among the corpses were elderly people and young children.

Clearly, the vampires had just been indiscriminately slaughtering the natives.

Knowing the cruel methods of the vampires, Xia En showed them no mercy and had no intention of taking any prisoners.

Fortunately, a small group of natives managed to take refuge in the fortress behind the village during the vampire attack.

Thanks to the desperate protection of several strong natives, these people survived by sheer luck.

even so.

The atmosphere within the ruins inevitably became extremely oppressive and heavy.

The air was thick with the scent of blood and fire.

Every now and then, the cries of survivors could be heard, and sorrow and hatred flowed through the eyes of the natives.

Sha Jingjing quietly transformed back into human form, and looking at the devastation in the ruins, her heart was heavy.

Recently, the number of outsiders landing on [Sand Island] has increased significantly compared to previous periods.

It wasn't just this one tribe; other tribes also clashed with outsiders, resulting in considerable casualties.

Moreover, it now seems that the number of outsiders attracted is endless.

But the island's natives will one day be wiped out.

At this moment, an old man with a missing arm looked at Sha Jingjing and murmured a question.

"Your Holiness, when will this end?"

"We just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life..."

His words filled the other natives with sorrow.

Survival in such a harsh desert environment is difficult enough, but to make matters worse, people from outside the island launch attacks from time to time, destroying their homes.

Such an unexpected disaster, and such a life with no future, is truly despairing.

Bearing the expectations of her people, Sha Jingjing felt even heavier and couldn't utter a single word of comfort.

With a casual glance, Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En, as if she had made up her mind.

"Captain Shane, come with me for a moment."

After taking Xia En out of the natives' sight, Sha Jingjing spoke directly.

"Captain Shane, I suppose you've also come for the Norwich Treasure?"

Xia En paused for a moment, but finally nodded slightly.

Sha Jingjing looked directly into Xia En's eyes and said seriously, "I know where that treasure is."

"Please... take it with you!"
