Chapter 216 A "Divine Weapon" Descends from the Sky
Xie Yan's smile deepened. "Guess who I ran into?"
The group looked at each other, completely bewildered and unable to figure it out.
Although they didn't understand why, they all silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Whoever can resolve this predicament at this moment will undoubtedly be a great help to them.
The screams continued, spreading from the lower deck all the way to the deck.
The arrow suddenly stopped, and this unexpected commotion and change clearly caught everyone present off guard.
"thump!"
One of the boatmen was startled when his companion suddenly collapsed and convulsed beside him, exclaiming in panic, "What's going on?! What happened?!"
However, the man only had time to utter this one sentence before he collapsed to the ground with his mouth agape.
His eyes were wide open in disbelief. Although his mind was still clear, his body was no longer under his control. He didn't even struggle and just collapsed to the ground.
"I have no idea what the hell is going on?!"
The boatmen, who had initially been confident of victory, were now in a state of panic.
Someone pointed a knife blade at Xie Yan and the others who were still hiding behind the cargo box and roared, "Was it them who did this?"
"Quickly! Kill them!!"
The boatmen were in an uproar and gathered around the cargo container.
But before they could launch their final charge, half of them suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground after a series of convulsions.
As more and more people fell, no one dared to rush forward anymore. Each person carefully looked around, afraid of becoming the next target.
"It must be them! Charge! Kill them!" someone urged their companions, mustering their courage.
But no one responded to him.
The once chaotic and noisy scene suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and for a moment no one dared to make a move.
The crowd looked at each other, none daring to make a move, so no one noticed that a small insect was crawling out from the corner of the mouth of one of the fallen people.
at the same time--
"Tack, tick, tick..."
A series of unhurried footsteps echoed in the passageway leading from the lower deck to the deck.
The sound was clearly audible in the silence, each step feeling like it was treading directly on everyone's hearts.
In an instant, the previously inconspicuous insects slowly gathered together and surged toward the passage in a massive swarm.
This scene was absolutely chilling and made one's legs go weak.
Hearing the commotion, Yu Bai and the others peeked out, gasped in surprise, and then exclaimed with sudden realization, "Could it be—"
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, what slowly emerged from the passage was not some terrifying demon or monster, but a pretty young girl.
Who else could this be but Uya, whom we haven't seen in a long time?
"It really is Uya!"
Yu Bai gasped in disbelief, and after looking at it again and again, he finally confirmed that the divine soldier who had fallen from the sky was indeed Wu Ya herself.
How did she get here??
Didn't they say she went to look for her younger brother?
Why did it suddenly appear here?
and also……
Yu Bai scratched his head, wondering if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Wu Ya and the big black snake coiled in her hand both looked listless and as if they were dying.
After Xie Yan deftly tied several bows with gauze to the wounds on Chu Ling's body that would have healed without further treatment, she finally had the leisure to answer everyone's questions.
“Yesterday I searched the hold and found that in addition to smuggling contraband, this ship was also engaged in human trafficking.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Bai and the others couldn't help but frown.
Xie Yan continued, "Below are not only respectable women, but also several children, all of whom are of good appearance. Including Wuya, there are a total of eighteen people."
"what?!"
Upon hearing this news, Yu Bai and the others were all shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Apart from Uya, who offered herself up, everyone else was kidnapped and swindled."
Xie Yan rubbed her forehead. "She said she originally wanted to take a boat to a certain place, but after asking around, she found that other boats were either too expensive or not on the way. Only the boat owner of this one said that he saw she looked kind and could take her to her destination for free."
Uya, who had no sense of caution or wariness and thought that there were still many kind people in the world, boarded the ship without any suspicion.
Then, as soon as they boarded the ship, unsurprisingly, they were stuffed into sacks and thrown into the hold.
"...Huh? So Miss Uya just surrendered obediently without putting up any resistance?"
Yu Bai opened his mouth in shock, then looked at Wu Ya.
This girl doesn't seem like the type to just passively accept being taken advantage of.
Given her personality, shouldn't she have slaughtered everyone on the ship the moment she was caught and fed them to her beloved pet?
Why did it take so long, until Xie Yan found her, before she finally made her move?
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan's expression immediately became somewhat indescribable.
"Because there is no sea in southern Xinjiang, and no ships this large, so..."
The group was puzzled as to how the conversation had suddenly veered to this topic, but they still followed Xie Yan's lead and asked, "So what?"
"So after she boarded the ship, she discovered that she actually—"
"seasick."
No sooner had Xie Yan finished speaking than a tremendous sound of vomiting came from behind them.
Just moments before, Uya, who had appeared so imposing in everyone's eyes, and her beloved pet were seen huddled together in a disheveled state, vomiting violently.
Everyone: "..."
What a simple reason.
Xie Yan glanced at Wu Ya and sighed softly.
If it weren't for a small dog suddenly barking last night, Xie Yan, who was stunned by the weapons laid out in front, would probably have had a hard time discovering that a group of people, drugged and unconscious, were hidden in those inconspicuous sacks deep inside.
Presumably to prevent them from causing any trouble if they were awake, these people were drugged and tied up in the cabin, sleeping soundly, except for being fed at fixed times and places.
This included Uya, who felt nauseous and planned to settle scores once they were on the ground, so she simply drugged herself into unconsciousness.
In fact, given Uya's appearance, she should have disembarked long ago.
Many people had taken a liking to her along the way, but every time they woke her up, they would be sprayed with a spray all over their heads.
As a result, these distinguished guests, one by one, lost their interest after she vomited.
It was through this series of unexpected events that Wuya was able to "accidentally" meet Xie Yan.
Then, this person, thinking "might as well use it if I can," forcibly shook it up to help.
