Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 229 — Wind Storm Pirates
The situation of the ship suddenly became boisterous, hearing the news that there were pirates heading here made the passengers and crew panic.
The owner of the ship told the warriors he hired to prepare for the attack, the majority of them were bronze realms while only a few of them reached the silver swordsman realm.
The four pirate ships were getting closer, when they were a few meters away the four ships began to encircle the passenger ship using a formation, one ship behind, and the other, two on the left and one on the right and one on the front.
The four pirate ships tried to keep their target ship from escaping while ensuring no passengers escaped from them.
Zhou Yuan realized something when the distance of the pirate ship was already very close. "These pirates are not humans, they are from the Beast Man Race?!"
Zhou Yuan was surprised, he did not expect to be confronted by the other races. The Beast Man Race usually did not commit such crimes, they tended to shut themselves down and preferred to stay away from the ordinary human race.
"They are pirates who for several months were notorious for their crimes in the river, Wind Storm Pirates, I did not expect to come face to face with them directly like this..." The ship's owner who happened to be standing next to Zhou Yuan.
"I don't understand, why would the human race of animals be able to blend in with humans and become pirates?"
"Young master, don't you know the situation of the martial world of the past few years, although I don't know the cause but the human beast race has become more aggressive, even more so, they no longer hid in the forest but made their own territory."
Zhou Yuan frowned, obviously the situation was more shocking than he had expected. Zhou Yuan could only guess that this was due to the assault of the human beast race into the academy during the tournament three years ago.
The owner of the ship bit his lips to see the pirates start boarding his ship, he only hoped that the swordsman he hired could help or at least repel the pirates.
Zhou Yuan who witnessed all of that actually shook his head, himself aware that the situation would not side with the ship owner.
"If you want to live, put down your weapons and I might spare your lives?" One of the pirates exclaimed.
The one who exclaimed was of higher strength than the other pirates, Zhou Yuan guessed that he was the leader of this pirate.
The pirate leader smiled widely as well as feeling pleased when he saw the warriors hired by the ship were weaker than his group.
Not only did they lose the power level, this group of pirates also won in numbers.
The number of members of the pirates was about a hundred more people with their leader who was a golden realm swordsman.
Hearing the call of the pirate leader, the hired swordsman prepared to fight when suddenly Zhou Yuan asked the pirate leader.
"You people of the animal race, why should you be busy being pirates, weren't you not very interested in money or possessions?" Zhou Yuan asked in confusion.
The human race animals that live in the middle of the forest focus their lives on gardening, farming, or hunting, they use barter system for the buying and selling process so they are not tempted about money.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, he realized the words of the pirate owner were indisputable.
Star humans who have a unique physical shape such as horned or tailed have always been considered strange by humans, this is racing against excessive racism, especially history in the past says that human animals are considered as enemies by the human race.
The pirate leader glanced at Zhou Yuan from top to bottom as his gaze fell towards the ring of space embedded in the young man's finger, looking extremely beautiful.
"Young man, I see you are the one who is, how about handing the ring over to us maybe I'll let you live." The pirate smiled widely.
Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly. "Just because you get an injustice does not mean you retaliate in the wrong way, let alone to harm others like this..."
Zhou Yuan poured a deep energy into his hand, a few ice pebbles then appeared in Zhou Yuan's palm, the young man then poked the ice pebbles towards the pirate leader.
The ice pebble that Zhou Yuan shot out quickly like a thunderbolt, the pirate leader could not see its speed when suddenly the ice pebble struck his stomach and made him vomit blood.
The leader of the pirates fell to his knees while holding his stomach, it made his subordinates surprised but before they reacted any further, Zhou Yuan had already pointed his ice pebbles at them.
Zhou Yuan's ice pebbles moved quickly, injuring the pirates' subordinates one by one, in a short time Zhou Yuan had already brought ten of the pirates to their knees.
Realizing that all of that was happening because of Zhou Yuan, dozens of other pirates started pulling weapons and attacking Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly, he started dodging every attack that came as his hands continued to shoot pebbles at his opponents.
The owner of the ship as well as all those watching opened his mouth wide to see Zhou Yuan dodge all the attacks so casually. They could feel Zhou Yuan even yawning while dodging the attacks of his enemies despite being surrounded from various directions.
It didn't take long for Zhou Yuan to defeat all those pirates with his ice pebbles.
Some of those who reached the bronze realm instantly lost consciousness after the pebbles hit their bodies while the silver realm warriors could maintain consciousness despite having to vomit blood and fall to their knees.
It took half a minute for the pirate leader as well as the others to realize that Zhou Yuan's pebbles not only injured them quite badly but also destroyed their silat science.
Zhou Yuan did destroy the pirate's dantian point with his ice pebble, the dantian which was a deep energy storage for a swordsman, if he were to be destroyed then not only could he not gather the energy of greetings, he said, the pirate is no longer a warrior.
"Now that they are no longer a threat, you can report all this to the local government for these pirates to be detained..." Zhou Yuan looked at the plight of the pirates before shaking his head slowly.
Shipowners and others to the point of being speechless, it was difficult to guess that the young man who was like a dozen years old had high abilities.
Zhou Yuan did not care about the reaction, without a second thought he began to float in the air, a sight that made the people who saw him hold their breath. A moment later Zhou Yuan darted flying into the air to continue his journey.
