I'll forge a new destiny

Chapter 20 Rat Man, Deer Man and Tauren
  Power is more intoxicating than anything else, no matter how big or small it is.

But looking at the pirates trembling on the sand and continuing to pollute the beach, Zhang Xing felt a throbbing pain in his forehead.

"Go and clean yourself first, whether it's washing or..."

Zhang Xing didn't even want to say anything anymore and waved his hand to let the pirates do what they wanted.

As if they were amnesty, the pirates grabbed their weak legs and ran towards the seaside.

I can only hope that they can sail as fast and as steadily as possible.

'otherwise……'

Turning back, he looked at the captives, most of whom were injured. They were trying to support their bodies and waited for Zhang Xing's decision in a very respectful manner.

These seriously injured ships cannot sail.

With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhang Xing looked at them.

It is a pity that the people on the Xiguapi finally met their original fate, and Zhang Xing could no longer see them among the prisoners.

This discovery made Zhang Xing feel a little hazy, and he began to try to divert his attention.

Fortunately, there are very suitable targets here, although there are not many - only two of the aliens who were the first to rebel are still standing.

But I have to say whether it is due to ability or luck. As the most conspicuous target and the vanguard of resistance, it is not easy to survive until now in such a chaotic war situation.

One of them is very short, with a stooped body and a face that protrudes forward. His sharp ears and protruding front teeth make him look like a mouse...

I looked at his slender palms and the bare tail behind his butt.

"I am a Rat Man, my lord."

Noticing the eyes directed at him, the rat man bowed skillfully - it seemed that he was very good at showing his humility and weakness.

"If you want, you can call me Twitch, so that I can have the honor of being remembered by a hero."

A hero? Zhang Xing said nothing.

What a smart rat man.

Compared to Tucci, the other alien is a bit slow.

She's not that tall either, but she doesn't look that small next to the short Twitch. It seemed that resisting had consumed all her courage. When Zhang Xing looked at her, she just froze there, trying to hide herself.

It's a pity that the four legs are trembling slightly, and the deer-like posture can clearly see what he is doing at this time. After all, they had fought together, and Tu Qi knew that he didn't have to do anything extra, but he couldn't help but poke her leg.

"My, my name is Ayosha..." Looking at Zhang Xing, the round-faced girl with red hair shook her ears and added. "grown ups!"

"She's a deer-person, and she'll be useful if you need a guide in the woods."

Tuqi, who couldn't stand it anymore, finally stood up and pointed at Ayosha first - the red-haired girl immediately breathed a sigh of relief and tried to shrink herself behind Tuqi.

Pointing to himself again, "And if you need a guide in the city, or a subordinate who can handle the dirty work for you, I can only say that even in the port of Eris, there is no better choice than me."

What a nice ratman.

"Can you sail a boat?"

Zhang Xing needs a rational and obedient person to control the ship for him. The mouse in front of me seemed like a good choice.

It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but he did not have much practical experience after spitting out a route.

Realizing that this was his chance, Tucci showed full confidence regardless of whether he would actually get it or not.

"Of course, sir, I can sail any ship for you as long as you want, but I still need some helpers, some sailors who will obey my commands."

"Waiting for those people to be cleaned up later,"      The power to choose helpers will allow Tucci to quickly escape the status of cannon fodder and gain the gratitude of other prisoners.

Thinking of this, Tucci couldn't help but look at the previous battlefield with regret, where there were many strangers who were inherently aligned with him.

Especially the tauren who dared to stand in front of the master.

Following Tucci's gaze, Zhang Xing also saw Brick. The tauren was lying on the sand, his hands still pointing toward the sky, as if he wanted to grab something.

Zhang Xing remembered him. This keen tauren had always been aware of his arrival. Whether it was when he first came out of the woods or when he officially joined the battlefield.

It's a pity that this keenness didn't save him, and I don't know what was going through his mind at the last moment?
  Standing in front of Brick, Zhang Xing recalled the moment before the tauren fell to the ground and seemed to be looking at himself.

'It's impossible, you're thinking of me——'

His thoughts stopped and Zhang Xing stared at Brick's chest.

The wounds were real and the bones were almost visible.

'How likely...'

Brick was surprisingly strong. Although his thick pectoralis major muscles could not block the master's sword, it also caused some mistakes in his judgment of the attack.

"It's a pity that it's so injured that there's nothing we can do about it."

Shaking his head, Zhang Xing made this judgment.

Masters only make mistakes, not soft-hearted. He went to kill people from the beginning. If he was in a port or a city, Brick might be able to survive by chance, but on this helpless sea, Zhang Xing couldn't think of a way.

"You mean, this cow is not dead yet?"

Hearing the meaning of his words, Tucci suppressed his fear and quickly came over.

Zhang Xing didn't need to answer. After seeing Brick's injury, he immediately became excited and turned to shout at Ayosha.

"Come here quickly, Silly Cow is not dead yet, he doesn't want to die yet!"

Strangers are always surprising - after Ayosha held out a small flower filled with natural power, which slightly healed the open scar on Brick's chest. Zhang Xing had some idea as to how she had survived until now.

Regardless of the two strangers who were trying to respond to Brick's expectations, Zhang Xing ordered two more prisoners.

"Take a group of people to look at the corpses. If there are any minor injuries, ask them to get up and return to the team. Those who pretend to be dead will be slightly injured and then return to the team. As for the seriously injured, save those who can be saved first, and those who cannot be saved. Give it a good time. As for you..."

Looking at the other one, Zhang Xing hesitated.

"Go and bring the boat over. I have to get on that boat and have a look."

There was no longer any way to divert his attention. He had to carry out his original goal no matter what, otherwise the fight would be in vain.

Zhang Xing has adjusted his expectations and is able to face that possible conjecture. Anyway, no matter what the result is, at least it won't be worse than when the Watermelon Pi was broken.

At least he had the Captain's endgame to his liking, both his and the Captain's.

"You might have to be more careful if you want to get on the ship?"

Tucci does look for opportunities and always impresses people at the right time.

"There are still people on that ship. Although I don't know why the shore is in such a fight, there is still no movement on the ship. But if you are going to get close, it is always good to know this in advance."

Zhang Xing looked at the pirate ship in the bay that was swaying slightly with the tide and tug-of-war with its anchor. Its silence seemed strange at this moment.

"Yeah, why can't anyone see it?"
