The Ultimate Evolution
chapter-544

For fear of alarming their foes, those pirates didn’t dare to cheer loudly upon hearing Sheyan’s rallying. Instead, they uniformly raised their weapons up high!

Blades shimmered in the woods, as they were obviously exceedingly in favour of Sheyan’s stand. Their eyes flickered with insatiable madness!

After all, being part of the crew of a distinguished pirate ship wasn’t merely a bonus to their reputation. To these pirates, it was akin to a glorious career of working in the top 500 companies of the present world. Furthermore, their chances of survival would be greatly bolstered as well. Allured by such prospects, why wouldn’t their morale skyrocket?

Since the plan had been modified with their primary intent to commandeer a ship, then naturally the emphasis of deploying the pirates should be placed in this aspect.

Seizing the opportunity where Taitish’s identity hadn’t been exposed, Sheyan hastily altered his plan.

He would allow Reef to preside over the general situation, to lead the pirate crew and the vikings in disguising as gypsy slaves under Taitish’s command. It would be best if they could blend into the ship. If not, they would still have certain confidence in raiding it.

Meanwhile, the agility inclined Sheyan and Mogensha would approach the field of those refining the Baladine Bloodsail. With one near while the other far behind, they could attack while defend.

Once their conduct of attempting to commandeer the ship was discovered, they would shoulder the task of disrupting and delaying the enemies. Anyway, of their party, the most suitable to conduct this affair would be the both of them.

As they both encroached nearer towards the campsite, for some unknown reason, they felt a rather heavy sensation in their hearts. The blood-curdling creams and wild yellings of desperation seemed to be waning in the distance. Within a breath, it was as though the atmosphere was plotting for death, with ropes coiled around their noses and mouths.

All of a sudden, Sheyan felt a tremor beneath his feet as he staggered slightly. Such a sensation resembled an earthquake, yet any undefiable astronomical force transmitting from the depths of the earth wasn’t present.

Closely following, regular frequencies of tremors resulted. The duo swiftly approached forward. Instead, they simultaneously beheld a seemingly shuddering and unbelievable sight!

As it turns out, unbeknownst when it happened, the elephant-head-man-body totemic demon beast had stomped out of its tent, and was moving on its own as if possessed by a spirit. Its skin was as transparent as water, issuing a diabolical primitive bewitchment that could shake one’s soul.

A stone platform was stationed before the totemic demon beast, where a blood colored slab floated above the stone platform. This elephantine beast brandished a massive hammer and smashed down heavily onto the blood colored slab!

Though the blood slab was floating in midair, blinding sparks erupted forth when the massive hammer impacted it!

The rumbling tremors Sheyan and Mogensha felt was indeed created by the impact of that massive hammer.

It was no wonder those gypsies brought the process of refining the Balandine Bloodsails to dry land. Under such impactful pressure, even a 5-masted ship built with ironwood...even an aircraft carrier would be tormented!

In every 4-5 intervals of smashing its hammer, the long nose of the totemic demon beast would curl out to draw in and chew on the contents inside a huge bowl beside it.

Upon careful examination of the contents, it was shockingly a muddled paste of flesh and blood of human innards. The bitterly wailing or hysterically laughing unlucky victims were all offered as sacrificial foods.

Atop the head of the totemic demon beast, hovered a transparent crystalline coffin like object filled with blazing red lava. Cyan-black objects were immersed within the swirling lava. That object appeared as though a portion of it had dissolved, and it looked exceedly familiar.

Indeed, those were the ocean eggs that Sheyan had transacted with Jiejie previously.

One could clearly notice that after those ocean eggs were immersed into the fiery lava, a faint maroon stream of air would cover densely across the periphery of the totemic demon beast like human veins; before incessantly pouring into its body as though supplying energy for its movements.

Very quickly. Sheyan and Mogensha discovered that the Baladine Bloodsail shockingly contained a plethora of imprisoned souls. They could observe countless hands poking out of the bloodsail, as they climbed frantically in attempt to escape its fetters.

Instead, that elephant-head-man-body totemic demon beast hammered down mercilessly with its hammer, pounding the hands of those miserable souls back in.

At this moment, a sudden forlorn surge of firework streaked up from afar. Before scaling up to a height of 20 metres, that firework abruptly extinguished. It was probably a signal flare.

Nevertheless, it was sufficient to allure the attention of the members here. Instantly, a gypsy diviner nearby the totemic demon beast suspiciously asked.

"What’s going on? That’s the emergency crisis signal of the ship! What is going on there?"

Sheyan immediate perceived his crew’s development of commandeering the ship was without a hitch. Otherwise if their situation was a crisis, why would his pirates have the spare time to shoot down that signal flare that had just soared up to twenty metres. Furthermore, one couldn’t even cope with reloading pistols of this outdated era in a normal fight.

Realizing the uproar occurring within the campsite, a gypsy priestess shrouded with a black veil stepped forward. Her arms spread out as she streaked a 5 of clubs and a 5 of spades poker card together. Sparks emerged as an incredibly shrilling friction screech pierced out, instantly intimidating the entire campsite. It seemed like she was the Trish that Taitish had mentioned. She boomed out.

"This matter of refining the Baladine Bloodsail is of paramount importance. We are reaching the most vital point, and absolutely cannot leave this unfinished! I will take charge of ten guardians to keep guard, while the rest reinforce the ship at once! We at most require another ten minutes over here. After we’re done, we’ll bring over the sacred beast in aid."

Everyone trembled with fear as they complied to the orders of their ‘lordess’ Trish. It was evident that her status amongst the gypsies was elevated, one that could govern the state of affairs.

After hearing her orders, Brother Black fished out his ‘SN-9 Wasp’ pistol and aimed towards the middle of that female’s brows. Instead, Sheyan patted his shoulder and urged him meaningfully.

"Don’t be rash. Wait for their reinforcements to dispatch before we make a move."

Mogensha immediately understood Sheyan’s intentions. At present, the group of gypsies racing back to reinforce were burning with anxiety, while that spade gypsy priestess would remain here and preside the general crux affair. Therefore, once a commotion breaks out at the side of the occult rite of refining the Baladine Bloodsail, those reinforcing gypsies would most likely fall into a dilemma. Some would act on their own and race back to the ship, while others would return to protect the rite of their sacred beast.

Once a situation of disharmony arises internally amongst the foes, like a pack with two leading rats, they would scramble chaotically and crumble internally!

At this moment, Mogensha became more in awe of Sheyan. To understand the underlying mechanics of situations wasn’t hard, but to do so in such circumstances…..with the grave menace of their foes pressing in imminently, he could still remain calm and be clear of such matters.

This truly required a cool-headed mind and impregnable psychological fortitude to be capable of this.

When those reinforcing gypsies had hastily rushed towards the coastal area, the entire campsite calmed down once again.

Only the earth shuddering impact of the totemic demon beast hammering against the Baladine Bloodsail tremored occasionally.

In that exact instance, piercing shots of gunfire foiled the tranquility of the forest. Mogensha had unleashed three bullets!

Those three shots were aimed towards the head of that elephant-head-man-body demon beast!

Indeed! Mogensha was targeting that transparent crystal coffin atop its head. Once struck destroyed, the lava and ocean eggs contained within would no longer mix. It was equivalent to severing the vitality of this terrifying elephantine sculpture, and preventing it from moving in this world!

Assaulting straight for the most crucial point of the enemy, the safeguarding gypsies instantly sensed a tremendous threat; allowing the furtive actions of the concealed Sheyan to be neglected!

Mogensha had selected to inaugurate gunfires wisely. It was the exact moment of the demon beast’s interval, where it needed to coil its elephant nose to swallow the innards of its sacrificial offerings.

Nevertheless, ever since realizing their anchored ship was in an uproar, the safeguarding gypsies had heightened their vigilance.

When Mogensha opened fire, Trish had instantly swung both hands forward. A single clubs-5 whizzed out with a piercing screech, as it short forward to obstruct the front of that crystalline coffin. Rotating with astonishing velocity, it actually sliced two of Mogensha’s bullets into two!!

However, Mogensha’s third shot managed to land onto the surface of that crystalline coffin. In spite of that, the crystalline coffin appeared exceptionally tough. Still, cracks branched out like a cobweb from the surface of where the crystalline coffin was struck! The glazing lava within churned violently. Beneath it, the totemic demon beast instantly unleashed an incomparably thrilling roar, as it swung its head abruptly to Mogensha!

Two unfathomable rays beamed out of the gem pupils of the totemic demon beast. It was like its line of sight had aimed straight towards Mogensha’s hideout.

In a flash, Brother Black instantly felt an intensified menace of death. Fortunately, before he triggered, he was well aware of the inevitable full brunt retaliation towards the location of gunfire. Hence, even without affirming the prospect of retaliation, he bluntly dove towards the side!

Two fiery rays congealed into a straight line, as it streaked through the air and across the darkness of night; piercing into a large rock that Mogensha had hidden previously.

Wherever those rays past, be it human, trees or rocks, a refined hole was punctured through them all; sizzling dissolving sounds emitted out from them. It was as if a scorching red kitchen knife had thrusted through butter.

Even though Mogensha dove away speedily, the fiery radiation around the rays still splashed against him. Though it was merely like droplets of fiery rays, it corroded and penetrated in and roasted his skin with sizzles. An acute pain jolted through his body in that instant.

Yet, that wasn’t the end of it. Those elite trained ten gypsy knights were now rapidly flanking forward in a semi-circle formation.
