Chapter 61: A Critical Moment

  The day of going out to sea has finally arrived after waiting.

  Ying Tianlong told his subordinates that no one was allowed to see them off, but early in the morning, when Ying Tianlong, Luo Guoyong and Yin Tao boarded the ship ready to set sail, they found that the coastline was already crowded with people. The "Black Wind Camp" people, the "Whirlwind Camp" people were divided into two rows, Lin Wei stood at the front, behind him were Qin Ming, Wang Xiaofeng, Dong Liang. Behind them were "Flying Sky Girl" Jiao Feng, Alan Ali, Qian Fangkong and others.

  The sky had not yet fully brightened, and the sea surface was a dull gray. Ying Tianlong had originally wanted to set off quietly, but unexpectedly, so many people came to see him off. It seemed that they had already reached a tacit understanding among themselves, which was that Ying Tianlong would not be coming back this time.

  No one said anything, and no one wanted to think about getting on the boat together.

  Ying Tianlong was a bit excited. Although these people were not good, they had been through an unforgettable period of time together. Sometimes, people can't be measured simply by good or bad. In specific situations, special friendships can be formed, which have blurred the boundaries between good and bad people. In their hearts, Ying Tianlong was just a revenger, with a goal deeply hidden in his heart, for which he had made more efforts than others. When the desire for revenge filled every pore of his body, no force could stop this impulse. The sword he stabbed out would inevitably return with blood, either that of his enemies or his own. This revenge was irreplaceable by anyone.

  They would never imagine where this sword of revenge will point to.

  What can Tian Long say in front of these former companions?

  They are all heinous criminals, principled enemies, and there is no room for sympathy. Tian Long could only clench his fists and say loudly: "Brothers, let's go back, may we meet again in the next life. We've lived like this, it's not a waste to have walked through the world."

  He finished speaking and turned around to order Yin Tao: "Set sail."

  Yin Tao pulled the rope, and the engine roared to life with a "rumble rumble". The boat slowly left the coast and headed into the depths of the ocean.

  Only when the Dragon King turned his head did he realize that everyone on the coast had knelt down.

  His eyes were slightly moist.

  Lu Guoyong didn't say a word, nor did he look back at the shore. Whether it was guilt in his heart or the freedom that was about to come that made him ecstatic, both were present. The island of death would become a distant nightmare for him, and on the road ahead, a large sum of money was waiting for him, those long-lost days of intoxication and recklessness were already within arm's reach. He wouldn't think about what the future of "Hei Fengying" would be like, because he knew he would never go back again.

  According to the sea route map provided by Feng Aijun, the ship skillfully avoided the reefs and minefields. On the surface of the sea, there were constantly sharks' fins swimming by, but they didn't pay attention to this ship. In this life-and-death struggle, it was this kind of ship that made them suffer heavy losses, and human flesh was no longer edible.

  The journey to the sea was quite smooth, with no obstacles along the way. The sea surface was calm and peaceful, with the sun slowly rising up, first revealing a small part of its head above the horizon, then half of its face, fiery red and extremely beautiful. A group of dolphins quickly swam by on the surface of the ocean, occasionally jumping out of the water and making a beautiful turn, with the golden sunlight casting a shiny glow on their bodies.

  Yin Tao drove the helm and responded to Tian Long: "Master, it seems that we have already crossed the danger zone."

  "Yes, but still need to be careful, I always feel that it's too smooth, not a good omen."

  Just then, Yin Tao suddenly shouted: "Master, look, what's that thing in front of us?"

  As the Tianlong drew closer, they saw that about 100 meters ahead of them was a black object floating on the surface of the water, occasionally disappearing and reappearing. As they gradually got closer, they discovered to their surprise that it was actually a sea mine. The mine slowly drifted towards the ship's hull.

  "Damn it, it's an inertia-activated sea mine. This type of mine is equipped with an inertia trigger fuse that detonates when a ship collides with the mine, or by generating an electric pulse through a piezoelectric accelerometer. But what's strange is that this isn't the latest model, it looks like something left over from World War II - how did it end up here?"

  Ying Tianlong said: "No matter what era this sea mine is from, Old Fourth, you say will it explode or not?"

  "It's hard to say, who knows if it's still effective or not."

  "That's to say, we can't let it collide with our ship, right?"

  Yin Tao replied nervously: "Yes, if it really explodes, we will all be torn to pieces."

  Lu Guoyong's whole body trembled with fear, his voice shaking as he said: "Oh no, so unlucky to run into this thing. We're done for, we'll be shark bait."

  Ying Tianlong suddenly took off his clothes with three movements, and Yin Tai exclaimed: "Eldest master, what are you trying to do?"

  Before his words had fallen, Ying Tianlong dove into the sea with a loud splash and quickly swam to the side of the water mine. He gently pushed it away from the ship's hull with his hands, positioning his body as a barrier between the mine and the ship. Fortunately, the wooden boat was not very long, and in an instant, the mine drifted behind the ship. The danger had been averted. Yin Tao stopped the boat, and Ying Tianlong quickly swam back to it. Just then, a massive dorsal fin suddenly appeared behind him, rapidly closing in on him.

  Yin Tao shouted loudly: "Big boss, be careful, there's a shark behind you."

  Ying Tianlong suddenly turned around, and the shark had already swum to his front. The eyes of man and fish met for a moment, and the shadow of death had already shrouded Ying Tianlong's body.

  This is a great white shark, its weight must be over a thousand kilograms, and Tianlong is now in a critical moment, danger lurks around every corner.

  Yin Tao grabbed a harpoon gun and pulled the boat over. Even Luo Guoyong was excited, picking up a harpoon gun and standing up.

  The shark rushed over, and Ying Tianlong dodged to the side, his thigh rubbing against the shark's skin, and blood gushed out instantly. The piercing pain made his mind clearer, and he knew that if he didn't get rid of this damned shark, he would never be able to get back on the boat. However, fighting such a huge and ferocious shark in the water was undoubtedly a futile effort, with little chance of winning. Ying Tianlong calmed down as much as possible and saw the water mine not far away.

  This is a triggered mine, which means that no matter what object touches it, it will explode. The shark is the same, its impact force is enough. Thinking of this, Ying Tianlong swam towards the water mine.

  Yin Tao immediately understood his mind, this is too dangerous, if things go wrong, he will end up with the shark. But he couldn't help in any way.

  "Be careful, Da Dang Jia, be careful!" Yin Tao shouted desperately.

  The shark was enraged and charged over recklessly.

  Ying Tianlong was already not far from the water mine, he made a strong dive and quickly swam around the water mine in one circle. The blood on his legs spread rapidly in the seawater around the water mine. Then, with a loud splash, he dove headfirst into the deep sea.

  The shark saw the water mine, it didn't know what this thing was, but there was a bloody smell around the water mine, which was exactly its favorite smell. What a huge food, enough for it to eat. Rush over quickly and open its big mouth to bite.

  A loud "boom" shook the air, and the depth charge exploded. The shark was instantly blown to smithereens, its blood and flesh splashing high into the air. Pieces of fish meat rained down on the boat, and Yin Tao dodged too late, his entire body covered in blood. Luo Guoyong wasn't much better off either, his face also smeared with blood.

  Ying Tianlong, who climbed up from the back of the boat, burst out laughing: "Not bad, no need to dress up as a murderer."

  After finishing speaking, he frowned and a severe pain came from the wound on his thigh, making him unable to get up from the boat.

  Yin Tao hastily walked over to help him up, and seeing that he was unscathed, let out a sigh of relief: "Master, how dangerous! If it were anyone else, who knows how many times they would have died?"

  Even Luo Guo stretched out his thumbs and said: "Hero, a real hero!"

  Ying Tianlong seemed to have just realized his fear, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

  The sea surface has returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened.

  Ying Tianlong lay on the boat, Yin Tao did a simple bandage for him. The wound was not too big and the bleeding had been stopped. After drinking several mouthfuls of water, Ying Tianlong asked: "We haven't deviated from our course, have we?"

  Yin Tao said no, it's just that the time hasn't come yet.

  "Just a few more hours?"

  "There's still half an hour, the rescue ship should be arriving soon."

  It was as if in response to Zheng's words that a fishing boat suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, speeding towards them with full force.

  Ying Tianlong sat up, smiled at Luo Guoyong and said: "Big brother, my task is temporarily considered completed, the rest depends on you. Where we go, hide there, you have to make meticulous arrangements. Chen Fu's huge wealth must be known by more than one person, think about it, even 'Wild Dog' Wang Qing has smelled the scent. Now our only advantage is that they still don't know you've escaped from Doom Island and are in a certain place. But any carelessness will make us become hunted targets again. Of course, the prey is you, if you're caught by them, you'll be worse off than dead."

  Lu Guoyong nodded: "I understand, the real competition has just begun. Don't worry, I'll arrange everything. Now I can tell you that Qian is in Thailand."

  Tian Long shook his head: "Big brother, since you're in Thailand, let me arrange your accommodation. I have the best friends in Thailand, sworn brothers who would never betray a friend."

  Lu Guoyong thought for a moment and agreed: "That's best, I completely trust your ability."

  "Thank you for your trust, big brother." Ying Tianlong replied.
