Chapter 439: Chapter 437: Three Consecutive Arrows_1
 

“Boss, Jishui Village is right ahead.”

“There are just over a dozen households in Jishui Village. With our dozens of men, one knife per person will do the job.”

“Hahaha, we’ll have fat lambs tonight, roasted till their oil drips.”

“I can’t help it. Just mentioning roasted lamb makes me salivate.”

“Damn it, I’m sick of eating fish every day.”

A few dozen meters off the coast, two pirate ships sailed towards the small fishing village, driven by the wind and waves.

The pirates on board gazed at the small fishing village, laughing wildly, like wolves staring at their prey caught in a trap, their eyes flashing with a cruel and bloodthirsty green light.

“Burn the fishing boats, take the women, and kill all the men!”

As the pirate ships reached the shore, the pirate leader swung his big knife, leading the charge from the ship.

“Alright, kill!”

A murderous atmosphere filled the air, flames shooting to the sky.

The fishing boats moored by the shore fell victim to dozens of flaming arrows, which spread like wildfire in the wind.

“Pirates! Pirates!”

“The pirates are here! Run!”

The innocent fishermen were caught in the horror, with their terrified screams and crying babies filling the air.

“Mother, what should we do? The pirates are here.”

Before they could escape, the disaster arrived. The young girl ran out from the kitchen in fear, supporting her mother.

“Yi’er, take your sister and go.”

The woman’s face turned pale, her eyes filled with desperate determination.

“No, Mother, let’s leave together.”

“Mother, I won’t go, I can’t leave you behind.”

The young girl held her arm tightly as the boy’s face turned white.

“Liu’er, listen to me, your brother is still young, and he can’t protect both of us. I can’t move fast, and I’ll only drag you down.”

The woman mustered all her strength, tore the girl’s grip away, and pushed her towards the boy.

“Yi’er, quickly take your sister and go.”

“Mother!”

The boy’s eyes turned red, his teeth clenched, and blood seeping from the corner of his lips.

“Hahaha…”

“None of you can escape.”

“Hehe, there’s a pretty girl, all fair-skinned and tender.”

“Whoever catches her, gets her.”

As misfortune fell, the mother and children hesitated, and the pirates stormed into the village to plunder, rape, and kill.

“Fight them!”

Furious, the boy drew his bow and released three arrow simultaneously.

“Ah!”

Immediately, three pirates screamed and fell.

“Little brother, well done. Kill them all.”

The girl rushed back into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and charged out again.

“Boss, that brat shot the arrows.”

“Kill him!”

With so many pirates, more approached the house.

“Mother, you and my sister hide inside.”

As screams continued around the courtyard, the pirates hacked and killed anyone they saw.

Enraged, the boy pulled his bowstring to the limit, releasing another three arrows.

“Ah!”

Another three pirates fell, shot through the heart.

“Black Serpent?!”

“Old Nine!”

“Stinky brat, you’re courting death!”

Seeing their companions killed, the remaining pirates revealed their ruthless visages, brandishing their knives and charging towards the courtyard.

The boy shot arrow after arrow, faster and faster.

As pirates fell, screams continued to fill the air.

After several shots, he had only one arrow left in his quiver.

“He’s out of arrows.”

A sharp-eyed pirate noticed the last remaining arrow on his bowstring.

“Charge him, slaughter him, skin him alive!”

With an evil grin, the pirate leader swung his knife and led the charge to the small courtyard.

The boy’s heart sank, accepting his fate. He pulled out a thumb-sized bell from his pocket, hanging it on the end of the arrow.
