Chapter 343 The fish talisman disappeared without a trace, but gold was piled up like mountains.
"It seems like something's happened down there."
Wei An stared intently at the two people kneeling anxiously on the deck, a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
Xu Yong, holding onto the gunwale, also gazed at that stretch of sea.
At this moment, his face, covered by a cloth, was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
"I thought she was so capable, but she still can't get up here."
A clueless lackey approached and grinned.
"Snap!"
With a flash of light, the henchman's voice abruptly ceased.
His head rolled onto the deck, his wide eyes still frozen with lingering mockery.
Blood splattered on Xu Yong's robes, but he didn't even flinch.
The deck fell into a deathly silence.
Before anyone else could react, Wei An's face suddenly turned deathly pale.
Then it dawned on him that Xu Yiyi and the old master were both from Wanghai Island and shared the same surname, Xu.
They might be from the same clan.
Xie Yushu had mentioned to him that this group of people were very united.
Therefore, the old master certainly wouldn't like to hear people say that.
He glanced cautiously at the old master, then tightly shut his mouth, daring not to utter another sound.
Fighting raged on the sea, the stench of blood was so strong it could fill the air.
[That bastard Xie Yushu is quite clever; he stays holed up in the headquarters and nothing happens to him.]
Wei An looked uneasy and moved back to the stern of the boat to see that the government officials and the gang leader were fighting fiercely.
But the old man remained unmoved.
The government's warships cut through the waves and approached, arrows raining down on the deck of the Red Shark Gang's wrecked ship.
Xu Yong grabbed Wei An, the only one still following him, and said sternly, "Let's go!"
Before Wei An could react, Xu Yong pulled him onto a small, light boat, and under the cover of a hail of arrows, they rushed toward the cliffs of Ghost Tooth Reef.
The waves crashed against the rocks, splashing up cold water droplets.
"Old Master? What are you doing here?" Wei An asked, his eyes filled with doubt.
Xu Yong replied impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and climb up."
The two then climbed up the cliff top, gritting their teeth and using the slippery rock crevices as a guide.
"Old Master, are you leaving already?"
Wei An caught up, panting heavily, and looked back at the Red Shark Gang fleet being besieged by the government in the distance: "Aren't we going to leave the boss and the others behind?"
Back then, Xu Yong single-handedly confronted the government officials and managed to escape unscathed, which earned him such a formidable reputation.
Now, however, they want to desert.
Wei An was filled with resentment.
Xu Yong suddenly turned around, his exposed eyes revealing a fierce glint.
His blood-stained knife tip pressed against the man's throat: "Go ahead and die if you want."
"To tell you the truth, even if all the Red Sharks were to die, it would have nothing to do with me now. All I want is the Fish Talisman."
Wei An's Adam's apple bobbed, and he dared not say another word.
The wind howled like a knife from the cliff top. Xu Yong crouched on the edge of the cliff, his eyes fixed on the sea below.
Before Chen Hu could react, the government fleet had already formed an encirclement, and beneath the deep blue water...
"I have to go up now, I really can't find it!"
Xu Yiyi was also convinced. Logically speaking, the fish talisman was placed in that groove, and it was so firmly stuck that the seawater could not easily carry it away.
In this case, it can only mean that the items were pried off before the ship was even salvaged.
She thought to herself, "No fish-shaped tally has appeared, but mountains of gold have been piled up."
The sea turtle slowly paddled its limbs, its black bean-like eyes glancing at her sideways, as if it were saying something.
Xu Yi glanced at the sandbag at her waist, which was already empty; once it was empty, it would take a quarter of an hour.
She should go up now.
But just as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of the gold chest in the cabin.
"We can't have made a wasted trip; we still need to take something up with us."
The corners of the box are carved with coiled dragon patterns, and the clasp still gleams faintly.
"Take one box first..."
She swam over as if possessed and grabbed the bottom of the box with both hands.
With gritted teeth and a burst of strength, the box finally lifted off the ground.
She swam back using the rotten planks of the boat, and fortunately, the water provided buoyancy, so the box wasn't too heavy.
Swimming back to the position of the iron chain, she pulled it three times sharply.
It moved!
A-Yue almost jumped up: "The iron chain moved!"
Old Lu shoved aside the water soldier who was about to go into the water to help: "Get the hell out of my way!"
His muscular arms, with veins bulging, were pulling him up the iron chain.
"Wow..."
The moment Xu Yiyi appeared carrying the gold box, the two of them gasped in surprise.
Xu Yiyi's smile suddenly froze as a reflection of light shone directly into her eyes—the cold glint of a crossbow bolt!
Chen Hu, with only one arm, held a crossbow and knelt at the swaying bow of the boat.
The blood-stained bandages fluttered in the sea breeze. He narrowed his single eye, the poisoned arrow tip locked tightly on Xu Yiyi's brow.
"go to hell!"
What he cannot have, he naturally cannot let others have.
The mechanism exploded, and the poisoned arrow transformed into a bolt of lightning!
On the cliff top, Xu Yong's arrows left the bowstring almost simultaneously.
"Clang!"
The two arrows collided in mid-air, the poisoned arrow was cut in half, and the wreckage fell into the sea.
"How is this possible..." Chen Hu staggered to his feet, covered in blood, and looked up at the top of the cliff.
Wei An lowered his head and remained silent; he was now completely certain.
Xu Yiyi has a very close relationship with the old master.
"Come up quickly."
A-Yue grabbed Xu Yiyi's hand and pulled her up forcefully.
"I haven't taken the gold yet, let's carry this box of gold up first."
She braced the gold box against her shoulder, afraid it would fall.
Upon hearing this, the two sailors nearby quickly stepped forward and pulled the box up.
"One good news and one bad news."
Xu Yiyi lay on the deck, panting heavily: "Which one do you want to hear first?"
