Pirates along the road were hit by bullets, falling to the ground one by one.

The pirates quickly retreated, seeking cover and retaliating with crossbows.

Wu Heng quickly picked up Xi Ligui onto his shoulder and said to the other squad members, “Let’s follow them back first.”

Having said that, they retreated together.

Xi Ligui’s body began to show side effects from the Special Item.

Frost covered her body, and she felt as cold as ice, with frost clinging to her hair and eyebrows.

Her body trembled slightly.

It was only because Xi Ligui herself was of a fairly high level, with close combat as her profession, that she had a high resistance.

A normal professional might have been frozen to death on the spot.

As Wu Heng carried her, Xi Ligui exhaled a white breath and asked, “Why did you come?”

Wu Heng replied, “If I hadn’t come, you might have died here.”

“How is the Association? Did pirates get there?” asked Xi Ligui, breathlessly.

“Don’t worry, the Association is fine,” Wu Heng reassured her as he patted her firmly.

“That’s good to hear,” Xi Ligui relaxed against his shoulder, and noticing the squad members looking around warily, she tapped Wu Heng’s hand that was gripping her buttock, “Gentler, you’re hurting me.”

“Ah, I wasn’t paying attention,” Wu Heng relaxed his grip slightly, keeping it there nonetheless.

Xi Ligui, still being carried, slapped his hand anyway.

She didn’t say much else.

After all, when Wu Heng had arrived, she truly felt an indescribable sense of security.

As if his presence meant she was safe.

They retreated to an unoccupied house.

Wu Heng set her down and distributed some elixirs to everyone before returning to Xi Ligui’s side, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Xi Ligui drank two bottles of elixir, exhaled after recovering a little, and continued asking, “What do we do next? The road to the harbor is blocked, we might not be able to attack it any time soon.”

Wu Heng replied, “I’ve located a place, the Island Master is very likely to be there.”

Xi Ligui’s eyes lit up, “Shall we go over and kill him?”

“No, we don’t need that many people,” Wu Heng pondered and said, “I’ll leave my skeletons with you. Continue to attempt to attack the harbor but don’t go too deep. Just consuming their resources around the perimeter will suffice.”

Xi Ligui asked with some uncertainty, “Will that work? What about the Steward?”

“The Steward is tied up with the enemy they arranged, and we can’t get in touch right now. It’s all up to us,” he explained.

The frost on Xi Ligui’s body gradually dispersed, and after the elixir, the bleeding from her wounds stopped, allowing her to slowly stand up, “Alright, then we’ll do as you say. Be careful and don’t be reckless like me.”

“Don’t worry, I will contact you when to approach the harbor,” he reassured her.

“Alright!” she agreed.

After they had discussed their plan,

Wu Heng ordered the skeletons to obey Xi Ligui’s commands.

Once the squad members were well-rested,

They left the house they were resting in, with Wu Heng heading to the west side of Lighthouse Street.

Xi Ligui continued to lead people in combat against the pirates on the roads.

With the addition of skeletons and firearms,

They began to gain the upper hand in long-range combat.

Large groups of pirates, drawn by the commotion, began to chase after Xi Ligui and others.

…

The sky grew darker.

The entire night sky was like a black curtain, sparsely dotted with a few stars.

Wu Heng crouched on a rooftop, with skeleton attendants on either side, and two Ghosts floating above.

Xiao Xiao pointed ahead, “It’s over there, the whole street is crawling with pirates, and that nasty Island Master must be hiding nearby.”

The situation was slightly different from what Xiao Xiao had scouted initially.

The personnel seemed to have been rearranged.

Still, under the moonlight, the concealment of their forces was apparent.

If Xi Ligui’s side was having such a fight, yet this side remained still, there definitely was an issue.

“Should I go in and see where he is hiding?” Xiao Xiao offered.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, “No need, they have quite a few high-level professionals. Let’s take advantage of their ignorance and kill a few first.”

Xiao Xiao said no more.

Wu Heng then took out his sniper rifles.

Actually, the most powerful was the Barrett.

However, killing with the Barrett usually resulted in severe damage to the bodies.

When it wasn’t urgent or dangerous, these sniper rifles were sufficient for killing enemies while preserving their bodies intact.

He adjusted his position and asked, “Xiao Xiao, who’s at the highest level?”

Xiao Xiao pointed down, “The one leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, and another on the second-floor window picking his teeth, those two are the highest-level, both above fifteen.”

Wu Heng weighed the two targets and decided to play it safe by focusing on one. He aimed at the pirate leaning against the wall on the first floor and pulled the trigger.

The gun fired.

The distant target had not yet reacted when their head snapped back, and the body tumbled backward.

Wu Heng continued to shoot at the body and the notification for experience gains appeared.

The sudden gunfire and dead body startled all the waiting pirates.

The level fifteen pirate on the second floor hid inside a room, while the others quickly sought cover.

Only one person quickened their pace to leave the area.

“Xiao Xiao, follow that person,” Wu Heng instructed.

“Right!” Xiao Xiao responded and took off after the person.

After Xiao Xiao left,

Glenda also warned, “Some Tamed Beasts are coming.”

Wu Heng looked up and saw

A swarm of Tamed Beasts converging from the sky.

Wu Heng handed a sword to Glenda, “Don’t let those Tamed Beasts get close.”

“Got it!” Glenda caught the Longsword and flew headlong towards the swarm of Tamed Beasts.

As they neared a certain area,

The Longsword was drawn from its sheath.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~!

Streaks of sword light flashed through the night like thunder, and various Tamed Beasts plummeted from the sky with crackling sounds.

In the blink of an eye, the Tamed Beasts within the range of effect vanished.
