With a mere wave of their hand, the Vikings could slice a mercenary sailor in half with their axe!
The only one capable of harming the Vikings was Gao Jianfei. He drew a short sword in one hand, unleashing Tian Boguang's Thirteen Flying Sand and Stone Slashes, while simultaneously using his One-Finger Divine Skill to remotely slaughter the Vikings. It was simple: penetrating the enemy's forehead with his finger force was generally enough to kill them!
However, Gao Jianfei still felt the strain.
These Vikings were incredibly strong. In close combat, although Gao Jianfei used his internal energy to kill several Vikings, he was still overwhelmed by their overwhelming power.
Moreover, more and more Vikings noticed Gao Jianfei's martial prowess and began to besiege him!
Chapter 492 I have special abilities!
Chapter 492 I have special abilities!
A fierce battle! This was absolutely the most perilous battle Gao Jianfei had ever faced! A Viking force of over 3,500 men landed on Gao Jianfei's island in succession. The Vikings were brave and skilled in battle, not particularly afraid of gunfire, and could savagely and violently hurl their weapons with tremendous force, achieving long-range killing!
Dozens of mercenaries and sailors died from the Vikings' ranged attacks, but when the two sides engaged in close combat, the mercenaries and sailors paid a heavy price. Their bodies were like straw before the strong Vikings, easily torn apart!
After Gao Jianfei single-handedly killed 29 Viking warriors, the nearby Viking warriors' eyes blazed with an almost perverse, valiant light. They swarmed towards Gao Jianfei, brandishing hammers, axes, and other weapons, and began to smash him head-on. Some Viking warriors in the distance threw their weapons at him, launching a ranged attack! At this point, Gao Jianfei was threatened by a combination of attacks from both near and distant enemies!
While using his One-Finger Divine Skill to deflect the axes and hammers hurled at him by the Vikings, Gao Jianfei simultaneously used the Thirteen-Sword Flying Sand and Stone Slash to slice through the throats of the Vikings attacking him nearby. The enemies' hot blood soaked Gao Jianfei's clothes, and slowly, his physical strength and internal energy were gradually depleted!
In fact, for Gao Jianfei, the current predicament wasn't enough to make him despair. What truly troubled him was that, at a glance, the entire island seemed to be completely occupied by these barbaric Viking warriors! Gao Jianfei glanced at the battlefield out of the corner of his eye, assessed the situation, and roughly estimated that the number of enemies was well over 3,000! Moreover, every single one of them was a formidable warrior! Gao Jianfei had already killed dozens of enemies, but there was absolutely no way he could have killed more than 3,000!
The only way out at present is to temporarily avoid the limelight!
While fighting, Gao Jianfei glanced at Li Yun and her group out of the corner of his eye. As masters of internal martial arts from the Emei Sect, Li Yun, along with her four junior sisters, Zheng Cuiyun, and Nie Xiaoxia—seven women in total—protected Song Ying in the center, forming a circular formation. Using palm techniques and footwork, they fought off the charging Viking warriors. Seventeen Viking warrior corpses lay nearby!
However, Li Yun and her companions were clearly exhausted and struggling to keep up. Their hair was disheveled, their faces pale, and they were fighting desperately! There was no doubt that if they held out any longer, they would be overwhelmed by the sheer number of Viking warriors!
Outside the battlefield, Prince Scholes and his trusted men stood watching the battle unfold. They were very confident in their troops' ability to control the situation. The Vikings had never feared explorers from the outside world, and this time was no exception. The only thing that surprised them was Gao Jianfei and the women around him.
First, the allure of Li Yun, Song Ying, and other women dazzled Scholes, almost taking his breath away! The Vikings were fierce, but they also had a penchant for women, and Scholes was a womanizer! Within the Viking kingdom, Scholes possessed dozens of concubines. Not only that, but among the adventurers from the outside world captured by the Vikings over the years, some women were already over 40 years old, and Scholes particularly enjoyed toying with these women from the outside world. This time, seeing eight young and beautiful Eastern women, Scholes's genitals instantly reacted with intense arousal. He swore an oath to capture those eight women alive!
At the same time, he also noticed Gao Jianfei! He swore he had never seen anyone as brave as Gao Jianfei! Moreover, Gao Jianfei seemed to possess supernatural powers! The weapons thrown at Gao Jianfei were neutralized in mid-air by Gao Jianfei's pointing fingers. Furthermore, Gao Jianfei's miraculous swordsmanship also fascinated Scholes!
"Capture them alive! Capture them alive! Surround them! Exhaust them, capture them alive!" Scholes issued the order from the outer perimeter. He not only wanted to capture Gao Jianfei and Li Yun, but he also developed a strong interest in everyone around Gao Jianfei and the entire expedition team. So… capture them alive! Capture them all alive!
The Viking warriors carried out Scholes' orders strictly. They began to surround the battlefield completely, then tried to intimidate the expedition team with terrifying shouts.
Soon, Blank and Mario, along with their mercenary sailors whose willpower had completely collapsed, were forced to surrender.
Soon, on the entire battlefield, apart from Gao Jianfei and Li Yun and other women who continued to fight, Gao Jianfei's men were forced to surrender one after another!
The situation was completely under enemy control. Even if Gao Jianfei could kill several hundred more enemies, he still couldn't turn the tide. Moreover, in this perilous situation where the enemy outnumbered them so much, Gao Jianfei could hardly guarantee the safety of Li Yun and the other women!
There was no other way but to break through!
Of course, Gao Jianfei couldn't possibly be that awesome as to break through the encirclement of thousands of people all by himself!
The only solution now is to release the polar bears, regardless of the risk of revealing their secrets!
"Damn it, I'll go all out!" Gao Jianfei made up his mind instantly. He couldn't afford to waste any more time; every second he delayed would make it harder to break through.
So, Gao Jianfei decisively killed the Viking warriors who were surrounding him, moved towards Li Yun and the others, and shouted in Chinese, "Xiao Ying, Sister Li Yun, wait a minute, don't be surprised, I'll lead you to break through! Remember, no matter what you see, you must stay calm! Okay... let's go!"
In an instant, Gao Jianfei released the nine mutated polar bears directly from the special space of the Ghost Den!
"roar!"
Nine mutated polar bears descended from the sky as if tearing through time and space!
"Ah ...
These Viking warriors were all incredibly strong, the difference between them and the mercenaries and sailors was like that between adults and children. But compared to a 2-3 meter tall polar bear, they immediately appeared tiny!
The mutated polar bears possess strength eight times greater than ordinary polar bears. They can easily grab a Viking and tear him to pieces with a casual tug, just like playing with a doll.
"You will serve as our mounts, charge out first!" Gao Jianfei transmitted his thoughts directly to the nine polar bears.
After clearing away the surrounding "flies," all nine polar bears lay down.
Gao Jianfei was the first to leap onto the back of a polar bear. Then he shouted to Li Yun and the others, "Hurry up and get on!"
In fact, the entire scene was in a state of profound shock and silence.
Dead silence.
All the Viking warriors, including Scholes, were in a state of mental blankness. They stopped shouting and temporarily extinguished all their aggression.
They simply couldn't understand why nine polar bears would suddenly and inexplicably appear on the battlefield!
This is inconceivable and defies all common sense!
At this moment, Prince Scholes' mouth was agape, wide enough to fit a fist!
Not only Prince Scholes, but also Li Yun, Song Ying, and others who were close to Gao Jianfei were stunned.
If there were anyone at the scene who wasn't too shocked, it would be Blank and Mario's group, who had already witnessed Gao Jianfei's sudden ability to summon animals.
In fact, Gao Jianfei currently has 53 polar bears. If they were all released, they could actually put up a head-on fight against this Viking army.
However, Gao Jianfei is not someone who likes to confront things head-on.
Even with a possibility of victory, Gao Jianfei disliked direct, bloody battles, especially when the enemy numbered in the thousands. His current objective was simply to break through the encirclement temporarily and then find an opportunity to teach these inexplicable barbarians a lesson.
Therefore, Gao Jianfei directly urged the polar bear under his horse to rush to Li Yun and the others. Without saying a word, he grabbed Li Yun and Zheng Cuiyun with his left and right hands respectively, threw them onto the backs of the two polar bears, and said urgently, "Didn't I warn you beforehand that you shouldn't be dumbfounded by what you're about to see? Alright, let's break through first!"
After saying that, Gao Jianfei grabbed the other women and threw them onto the polar bear's back.
"Alright, charge out!" After taking care of these matters, Gao Jianfei gave a mental command, and then the nine polar bears unleashed their full speed, rushing madly towards the northeast like lightning!
"Thump! Thump!" As the nine polar bears ran, they trampled the ground, creating one crater after another, making a tremendous noise!
"Stop them! Don't let them get away!" At this moment, Prince Scholes reacted instantly and issued orders to his men.
But it was too late.
Nine mutated polar bears ran at full speed, a speed that was simply unstoppable! In a very short time, they killed more than a dozen Vikings in a certain part of the encirclement, and escaped far away, avoiding the attacks of other Vikings!
"Chase them! We can't let them get away!" Thousands of Viking warriors gave chase with all their might. But how could they possibly catch up? After a while, they disappeared from sight.
As for Blanc and Mario, Gao Jianfei's men, although they had been terrified by the Vikings' savagery and bravery and had already surrendered, their fear vanished instantly when they saw their master release a pack of polar bears and calmly break through the encirclement. They all had one thought... Wow! Master is amazing! These barbarians are nothing! Master will definitely come to our rescue!
At this moment, Scholes was surrounded by several trusted subordinates. Their brows were all furrowed.
“Your Highness Scholes,” an old man said solemnly, “if we are not mistaken, then we can determine one thing: that yellow-skinned, black-eyed man, like us Vikings, possesses the special ability to control animals and beasts.”
Scholes' eye muscles were still twitching, but he remained silent for the time being.
The old man continued, "But how does he manage to hide his pets and only release them when needed in battle? It's too strange! How does he do that?"
Scholes suddenly gritted his teeth, his eyes instantly flashing with extreme greed and fervor... "Hahaha! Great! This is absolutely fantastic!"
His men were puzzled by his strange reaction and looked at Scholes with suspicion.
“Listen, that guy definitely possesses a very ancient and great skill—the ability to hide his pets in another dimension! Just imagine how perfect it would be if I, the great Prince Scholes, mastered this skill! I swear, once we Vikings possess this skill, our civilization will reach another peak! We could even try to conquer the outside world… Therefore! Immediately seize this island; we absolutely cannot let that guy leave!”
After a pause, Scholes continued, "Mark!"
A bearded subordinate stepped forward. "Your Highness Scholes, is there anything I can do for you?"
“Listen, you’re going back to the kingdom right now! Bring out my personal guard! Also, bring all my pets here! Have the warriors take their pets with them! I want to capture that guy alive! Capture him alive!” Scholes said fervently.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The bearded subordinate nodded in acceptance.
“Well, what we need to do for now is to surround this island. With our current manpower, we don’t have enough to conduct a comprehensive search of this huge island. Therefore, let’s surround the island first, and then we can start the search as soon as reinforcements arrive!” Scholes became calm, and his thinking was exceptionally clear.
At this moment, another of his men pointed at Blank and Mario and asked, "Your Highness Scholes, what should be done with these prisoners of war?"
Scholes waved his hand and said, "Lock these guys up first. I need them, and I can get some secrets out of them about that mysterious figure!"
So Blanc and Mario, along with their dozen or so surviving mercenaries and over 100 sailors, were taken to the wooden ship and imprisoned in some of the cabins.
In keeping with the Viking tradition, the mercenaries and sailors who died on the battlefield were stripped naked, and all their belongings, such as clothes, jewelry, wallets, and weapons, were taken away by the Vikings.
…… …… ……
Let's talk about Gao Jianfei and others.
Nine polar bears, carrying Gao Jianfei and Li Yun and other women, ran wildly, shaking off their pursuers. After running for a while, they arrived at a small valley covered with green plants.
Nine polar bears filed into the valley.
In the valley, there was a glacial stream. Gao Jianfei, Li Yun, and the others jumped off the back of a polar bear and sat by the stream.
Under Gao Jianfei's command, nine polar bears left the valley and blocked the entrance, taking on the responsibility of guarding it. In addition, Gao Jianfei also released a group of level 1 ghosts to keep watch nearby.
After finishing all this, Gao Jianfei felt a sense of security.
He had reason to believe that he had enough cards to play to contend with and defeat that terrifying enemy.
Right now, there's a rather troublesome matter... Li Yun, Song Ying, and the other women stared at Gao Jianfei with utter shock! They wanted to say something, but couldn't bring themselves to say it, looking hesitant and unsure of what to say.
To be honest, everything that happened today was a huge shock to these women. It can be described as 'full of twists and turns'!
First came the thousands of barbarian warriors who suddenly landed on the island; then came Gao Jianfei's act of releasing the polar bear, which defied scientific principles.
Gao Jianfei smiled wryly and scratched his head.
"Jianfei...Jianfei...if it's convenient for you, could you...could you tell us...what's going on with those polar bears?" Finally, as Gao Jianfei's woman, Song Ying was the first to ask.
The naturally lively and outgoing Zheng Cuiyun immediately chimed in, "Jianfei, this is magic, right? It's amazing!"
“Well…” Gao Jianfei shook his head. “Never mind, I consider you all as family, so I don’t mind sharing this secret with you. In fact, it’s a special ability! How should I put it? Some time ago, I suddenly gained this special ability, which is that I can put certain animals into a special space, and these animals obey my commands, for example… these huskies.”
After saying that, Gao Jianfei released the eight huskies as well.
"Hiss!" The women all gasped in shock!
Gao Jianfei immediately added, "As for special abilities, they are very difficult to explain in a few words. Nor can we analyze such miraculous abilities using scientific principles. Therefore, don't keep asking about this special ability. In short, now that you know this secret, that's enough. You don't need to be too surprised in the future. Also, I hope everyone can keep this secret for me, and try not to reveal it to the outside world."
The women pondered Gao Jianfei's words. Then, they all nodded in unison, "Jianfei, we understand. You can rest assured, there's no way we'd ever reveal this secret!"
Then, Zheng Cuiyun, Nie Xiaoxia, Song Ying and other women all rushed over to Gao Jianfei, their eyes filled with worship and fanaticism.
Even the young women like Li Yun looked at Gao Jianfei with a very peculiar gaze. In that gaze were worship, blind obedience, and bewilderment…
As Gao Jianfei dealt with the women, a thought flashed through his mind… Those mysterious barbarians, if they know my secret, that's easy, just kill them; Blank and Mario, if they know the secret, if they loyally follow me and don't reveal it, that's fine, but if there's any sign of leakage, kill them too; but what about Sister Li Yun and the others? What if they let it slip? Either I send some level 1 ghosts to follow them like shadows, or… I, I'll turn them all into my women!
Gao Jianfei was also very cautious. If this secret were to become known to the outside world, he would be regarded as a public enemy by the entire world! He would be regarded as an alien!
"Alright, stop thinking so much. Tonight, I'll sneak out and scout around, see what's going on with those barbarians!" Gao Jianfei quickly changed his mind.
Chapter 493 The Vikings' Taming of Animals
Chapter 493 The Vikings' Taming of Animals
Now, the island where Gao Jianfei is located has been completely occupied by the Vikings, Prince 'Scholes'. More than 3,000 valiant Viking warriors have sealed off the entire island, making it impenetrable. Furthermore, they have begun to build rudimentary catapults on the shore using the island's wood, stones, vines, and other materials.
