Escape

  Naga Killer and Roy looked at each other...

  Seeing Roy's embarrassed appearance really shocked him.

  No matter how hard he thought about it, he never understood why these human sailors hung their companions here. Not only were their hands and feet tied tightly, but their mouths were also tightly gagged...

  The Naga killer clenched the dagger, twisted his body, and swam towards Roy quickly, with a strong killing intent in his eyes.

  He stared at Roy. His three-meter-long body was as soft as a moray eel in the water, and he swam silently.

  When he stretched out an arm from the water, he grabbed Roy's ankle.

  That cold and wet touch made Roy feel like he was abandoned by the entire world...

  There is simply no room for struggle other than closing your eyes and waiting for death.

  The only thing he hoped for was that the blade struck out by Naga Killer would be clean and sharp.

  Despair, fear, unwillingness, anger, pain, hatred and other negative emotions were like poisonous snakes wrapped around Roy's body, and he unconsciously wanted to break free.

  Unfortunately, his hands and feet were tied with ropes, so even if he wanted to twist his body, it would take a lot of effort.

  even more how he still has tiny wounds caused by fish hooks. After being stained with sea water, these wounds are like a group of ants biting on his body...

  Jasper next to him was also struggling. He could see that the Naga killer was full of hostility, but his condition was worse than Roy's and he couldn't help at all.

  Naga Killer's body rises little by little from the sea...

  When his upper body was completely exposed from the sea, the dagger in his hand was pressed under Roy's left ribs.

  The sharp dagger made Roy feel a cold and stinging feeling...

  …

  "Hugh, is that you?"

  A Naga language sounded faintly from behind, and the voice was a little weak and tired.

  For Roy, it was another string of incomprehensible language, but the voice was very soft.

  The dagger pressed against his abdomen suddenly retracted.

  The Naga killer let go of Roy and immediately swam behind.

  Only then did he see clearly that the bottom cabin behind Roy was crowded with Naga mermaids locked in Dark Space.

  He roared with anger suppressed in his throat...

  He swam over quickly and used his dagger to cut the rope binding the Naga mermaid's hands.

  Then, he grabbed the chain connected to the collar with one hand and pulled hard. He found that the chain hanging from the vertical beam was very strong, so he bit the dagger in his mouth and tried to break the chain with both hands.

  "No, that will trigger the alarm here."

  There was another Naga language, and the sound was very pleasant.

  The Naga Killer had no choice but to cut the rope tied to the Naga Mermaid's wrist.

  When these ropes broke off inch by inch and fell into the sea water in the bottom tank, Jana Mermaid grabbed Naga Killer's strong arm, swung her slender fish tail, and asked in a trembling voice:

  "Hugh, how many Nagas are here this time?"

  The other Naga mermaids who imprisoned the fish bones in the bottom cabin happened to be awakened by the sound.

  When they discovered that a clansman had sneaked into the bottom cabin, they suddenly became energetic and started to wake up their companions in distress.

  There were even some naga mermaids who were so excited that they cried "wu wu", and the sound of water splashing could be heard from time to time in the bottom cabin.

  But then the words of the Naga killer once again made these Naga mermaid girls who thought they were about to be rescued... fall into despair.

  "It's just me right now."

  "I got separated from the search and rescue team, and they continued to move towards the south and chased me."

  "And I happened to swim along the ocean current into the bay of this elf country. I was not sure whether they would replenish supplies here, so I wanted to catch a few human sailors and ask. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand what they said. The sailor pointed out In the city, I thought he was lying to me, so I ran into the port to try one's luck, but I didn't expect to really meet you."

  The Naga Killer spoke a long string of Naga words, and Roy simply couldn't understand what he was saying.

  Naga Killer was a little excited. As he spoke, he cut the ropes binding the hands of other Naga mermaids.

  The upper body of the Naga mermaid was exposed on the water, and her mind was very clear. She said to the Naga killer:

  "But you alone can't save us at all."

  "Once these chains are cut off, the robbers above will soon find that you can't defeat them at all."

  "The most important thing for you now is to quickly gather the others and lead them to lurk in the Sea Territory outside the port. As soon as this large ship leaves the port, we will launch an attack."

  "This is the harbor for the ELFs. We have just ceased war with the ELFs. Don't cause trouble here..."

  Naga Killer said sadly:

  "It's too late. They will leave here tonight. All preparations before departure have been completed. Once the ship returns to the sea, it may escape into the Twin Seas by the monsoon. When the time comes, even if we chase, I'm afraid I can't even catch up..."

  "I'll drill through this place first, and then I'll rescue you all. I can't control that much. Just count the few you can escape. I'll stop them."

  As he said that, Naga Killer had already swam back from behind.

  He began to look at the structure of the bottom cabin and prepared a dagger to carve a hole in the side wall.

  It's just that the only tool he has available at the moment is a dagger. He wants to use the dagger to cut a round hole in the bilge bulkhead. The idea is great, but it may be very difficult to implement.

  The Naga mermaid who spoke first clearly seemed like the leader.

  Roy looked at her secretly, and sure enough she had a three-color tail fin.

  The process of Naga Killer rescuing his companions fell into the eyes of Roy and Jasper.

  I guess the Janna people also want to escape from this big sea ship...

  Roy knew this was his last chance.

  Otherwise, once all the Nagas run away, and only the two of them are left in the bottom cabin, once the crew discovers that all the Nagas here have run away, what good ending will happen to him and Jasper...

  But there is a language barrier between the two parties, and there are communication barriers...

  Roy is ready to send some messages with his gestures and movements and his eyes!

  At this time, he shook his body continuously, trying to attract the attention of the Naga mermaid and the killer...

  didn't expect this move immediately angered the Naga killer, causing him to move towards Roy and swim over, holding a cold light shining dagger in his hand.

  "Xiu, save them first. I want to talk to these two elves!" said the Naga mermaid from behind.

  Roy didn't know what the mermaid said, so the Naga Killer stopped, turned around and responded:

  "I don't believe them!"

  Naga Mermaid thought for a moment and said:

  "There are ELFs among them. If they run out, they can probably call the ELF army to help them take out the things in their mouths. I will talk to them..."

  The Naga killer didn't object this time. He just swam to Roy and looked back at the Naga mermaid again.

  "I'll ask my companions to untie your ropes. Can you please stop shouting and running around?" The voice was extremely weak, but it was a very authentic Elf slang.

  Roy and Jasper, who were hanging in the air, looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

  The Naga mermaid urged the Naga killer again, and the Naga killer reluctantly rescued Roy and Jasper from the hook.

  The way the two are tied up is different from that of these Naga mermaids.

  The hands of the Naga mermaids are not only tied with ropes, but also have iron collars around their necks, which are connected to the keel on the cabin roof by chains.

  Roy and Jasper had their hands and feet tied up, and the crew members directly hung them up with iron hooks. They were temporary additions and did not use interlocking slave chains.

  That's why the Naga Mermaid asked the Naga Killer to rescue the two of them from the hook...

  Roy's eyes had adapted to the darkness in the bottom cabin, and he could clearly see that the cabin behind was densely packed with Naga mermaids.

  The naga mermaid who had just started to speak elf language swam out with a chain, and the range of her movement was less than two meters.

  "Which port in the elf country is this?" the Naga mermaid asked. She was soaked in the seawater from the waist down, and occasionally her tail fin swung to support her entire body upright on the water.

  "Castletown." Roy and Jasper spoke almost at the same time.

  "Are you residents of Castletown?"

  "I am a mixed elf and he is a half elf. We are both residents of Castletown and trainee priests of Liberty Goddess Temple..." Jasper replied seriously.

  The Naga mermaid had a bright and beautiful face, and the fine scales on her body looked like she was wearing tight clothes full of sequins. Her eyes were beautiful, but they were full of exhaustion.

  "If you have a chance to escape, can you reveal the news that the Naga seapeople are being imprisoned on this ship to the ELF army? Can you ask them to rush to the dock to rescue us?"

  Jasper said quickly:

  "Definitely. This kind of slave trading ship has violated our laws, but there must be evidence, otherwise the elf patrols will generally not board the ship to inspect. If we go to them for help and report, the elf patrols will definitely investigate this ship. Boat."

  The naga mermaid first looked at Roy, then at Jasper, and said in a soft voice:

  "However, only one of you two can leave."

  "Then I'll stay and let Roy leave!" Jasper rushed to say almost immediately, and then continued without waiting for Roy to speak: "There are people here who need treatment, and I know the healing arts."

  These words completely blocked Roy's mouth, and he said worriedly:

  "Jasper..."

  Jasper leaned against the bulkhead on the side of the cabin a little weakly, and said with a wry smile:

  "Roy, let's not waste time arguing. When you go out, go find the elf guard on the dock. Just say that an elf has been caught on the boat. They will take care of it. Then you go to see Priest Theodore. He I know many elf nobles in the city, and asked Priest Theodore to help find a way. Only with the influence of those elf nobles can it be possible to mobilize Castletown's city guards, remember what I said?"

  Seeing that Jasper insisted on staying, Roy could only reply: "I know."

  "Follow our companion, he will take you away." The Naga mermaid whispered to Roy.

  Roy nodded, wading through the water and following the Naga killer towards the hatch.

  "Let's go quickly! Sorry, Roy, I didn't expect to bring you into such danger." Jasper leaned against the bulkhead and whispered...

  "Jasper, must wait until I come back with the elf on patrol..."

  Maybe he felt that Roy was making too much noise while wading in the water. Although the Naga killer couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes when he looked towards Roy, he still let Roy lie on his back. After pushing open the hatch, he gently The fish swung its tail lightly and swam out.
