Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 168: Chapter 93: Wind Thunder Archery! The Blue Rain Sea Area!_1

With the capabilities of Sikong Zhan and others, fabricating a Giant Whale Gang disciple identity for Su Changkong was more than easy. With thousands of disciples in the Giant Whale Gang, the addition of a single person would go completely unnoticed.

In a spacious square, over a hundred elite Martial Artists from the Giant Whale Gang had gathered, and Su Changkong, disguised and transformed in appearance, was among them.

Sikong Zhan, a tall and burly man, declared loudly, “There are Sea Pirates ravaging the Blue Rain Sea. Now that spring has arrived, it’s time to set out and root out some petty thieves!”

“Set off!”

Without further ado, Sikong Zhan announced the departure. The Martial Artists here were the elite of the Sikong Family, his personal guards.

At the command, over a hundred riders mounted their tall horses and rode towards the outside of the Giant Whale Gang.

“Is the Young Gang Leader setting out to wipe out bandits again?”

“The Young Gang Leader truly has the air of the old Gang Leader in his younger days!”

The Giant Whale Gang disciples along the way, as they watched the galloping and majestic team travel far and wide, were filled with respect.

At the last gathering, ‘Sikong Zhan’ had directly clashed with Meng Sang, which had greatly bolstered his prestige. Many people thought he was the only candidate for Gang Leader!

Galloping all the way, by noon, they arrived at a bay on the edge of the Blue Rain Sea.

“This…”

Su Changkong was also shocked at the sight before him. A port was built in the bay, bustling with the Giant Whale Gang members, while a series of ships were docked at the port.

Some were small, able to carry only a dozen people, and belonged to the category of fast ships.

The large ones were a hundred meters long and nearly ten meters wide, capable of carrying hundreds of people — these were warships!

Such large vessels, if placed in the ancient times of Blue Planet, would also be extremely rare. These large ships would find it difficult to navigate in ordinary rivers, and only on the vast Blue Rain Sea could they display their majesty!

The Giant Whale Gang possessed nearly ten such large warships, which was why they could dominate the Blue Rain Sea area of Ink Forest Prefecture City.

In this port, a large number of Giant Whale Gang disciples were stationed, and since they were setting sail today, many craftsmen were busy checking and repairing the ships to avoid mishaps during the voyage!

“So many people! So many ships!”

This was Su Changkong’s first visit to such a port, and he couldn’t help but be stunned.

Most of the Giant Whale Gang’s disciples were stationed at the port, many of whom were seasoned veterans in naval warfare, and the sight of the docked ships was extremely spectacular.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that preparations were complete.

One after another, the people boarded the ships. Su Changkong boarded as part of Sikong Zhan’s personal guard, stepping onto the Black Whale, a hundred-meter class warship capable of accommodating hundreds of people.

On the deck, Su Changkong stood at the edge, feeling the slight swaying of the entire ship with the gentle sea waves.

The warships of the Giant Whale Gang were built using precious ironwood, a wood as tough as steel, yet remarkably light, making it one of the most suitable materials for shipbuilding.

“Set sail!”

With everyone aboard, the command was given. The large sails fluttered in the wind, and the Black Whale gradually left the port, heading for the open sea, with the massive port disappearing behind it without a trace.

Su Changkong enjoyed the seascape from the deck.

High atop the tall masts were Giant Whale Gang disciples with excellent vision, who climbed up to keep watch, monitoring the surroundings.

The propulsion of the Black Whale came not only from the wind but also from a large number of sailors rowing in the lower decks.

As time passed, the day grew dark, and the sea was calm and quiet. Su Changkong couldn’t help but feel a bit bored. Life at sea was like this, mostly quiet and dull, with only the sound of the ship cutting through the water and occasionally the turbulence brought on by the wind and waves.

“I might as well return to the cabin to practice.”

Eventually, Su Changkong returned to the cabin inside the ship and spent a tranquil first night breathing in and out quietly on the ship.

It was not until the early hours of the next morning that there was some disturbance.

“Situation ahead! Target spotted!”

From the mast, level with the sails, a scout shouted, electrifying everyone.

“What’s the scale of it?”

Sikong Zhan immediately inquired.

The scout, peering through the early morning mist after careful observation, reported, “Just one ship, about ten meters long, with no tribal totem indicating its identity on the flag — likely a pirate ship!

A ship nearly ten meters long could, at most, hold fewer than a hundred people.

Hearing this, Sikong Zhan’s expression turned cold, “Deploy four fast ships, each with ten elite members onboard. If they are Sea Pirates, show no mercy and kill them!”

“Yes!”

Everyone responded and quickly sprung into action.

“I’ll go too!” Unable to contain his curiosity, Su Changkong also wanted to witness a battle between the Giant Whale Gang and the Sea Pirates, deciding to go along for a look.

At the edge of the Black Whale’s deck, small wooden boats tied up with ropes were lowered into the water. These boats were quite small, each able to carry no more than ten people.

In this era, naval battles were mainly divided into several types: one was long-range combat, attacking the enemy with arrows and catapults to destroy their ships.

Another was using the ships’ own bulk, coupled with the rams on their bows, to charge at full speed into the enemy — a technique that would result in mutual destruction.

The least costly was to approach the enemy’s ship stealthily with fast boats, board their decks, and engage in close combat, cutting down all the enemies on the ship.

As the suspected pirate ship had not yet detected the Giant Whale Number hidden in the haze, Sikong Zhan opted for the boarding and enemy elimination plan!

Su Changkong also jumped onto one of the fast boats.

“You look new around here, are you new?”

On the fast boat, a middle-aged man gave Su Changkong a glance, finding him somewhat unfamiliar, and thus posed the question.
