Devil's Son-in-Law

"1000 black crystal coins, and this ship is yours. I only sell it, not rent it!" The tall bald man stretched out a finger.

"This is the smallest ship, and it's too old-looking. Many key parts are rotten and deformed. 1000 black crystal coins are simply a sky-high price. It is not worth even 1000 purple crystal coins!"

"This is the only ship. If you don't want it, get out!"

"You think I don't know that sand ships can be temporarily assembled?" Old Father Lal sneered, "Where is Old Panrui? Ask him to come out to see me. I'm his old friend. I don't believe Old Panrui dares to use this kind of thing to fool me!"

"Old guy, your news is too outdated." The bald-headed strong man flashed murderous intent in his eyes, slammed the table, and suddenly a dozen people rushed into the room, "Old Panrui died in my hands last year. This ship factory is now under my control, Sir Okafor! Now I've changed my mind. Hand over all your money! Otherwise, I'll take your life!"

While Old Father Lal was on guard, Chen Rui took a step forward. Everyone felt that the air suddenly solidified, and a chill that pierced the soul quickly spread throughout their bodies, making them completely lose the ability to move.

"This ship is indeed very old." Chen Rui just said a word, and the ship collapsed in an instant. Everything turned into gravel-like particles and disappeared as if it had never existed in this world.

This scene made the people who rushed in broke out into a cold sweat, including the bald 'factory director'.

Chen Rui said slowly, "Your name is Okafor, right? Do you want to find the ship just now, or give me a ship that will satisfy me? I did not restrict your ability to speak. If you don't say it within 5 seconds, I will assume you chose the first path."

"Sir!" Okafor shuddered and shouted quickly, "I'll give you the best ship! I'll send someone to assemble it now!"

After an hour, a reassembled sand ship appeared in his vision. No matter how big or sophisticated this ship was, it was far better than the small ship that 'disappeared' just now.

"Sir, this kind of ship needs at least 6 people to operate." Old Father Lal stepped forward and said.

"This is the first time I've been on a desert boat like this. Sir Okafor, may I have the honor to invite you to be a captain?" Chen Rui looked at the bald head with indifferent eyes.

"It's my honor!" Everyone could see that the bald Sir Okafor was so 'honored' that he was about to cry.

Before long, Chen Rui entered the desert in that brand new desert boat.

The sand ship was still slow previously, but as the wind and sand got stronger, they raised the ship's sails, and it began to slide in the sand. The speed was also gradually increasing. Especially when crossing the dunes, although there were ups and downs, it did not turn over the ship, which was really wonderful.

Chen Rui was wearing a sand-proof cloak and goggles specially made for sand-ship sailing. Looking at the endless sandy land, it felt like a frozen sea. There was a trace of grace in the majesty. Walking in this world, the mood would become lighter and detached.

Of course, the majesty was only a small part of the desert, especially the Black Prison Desert. Most of the time, it was berserk.

The sand and dust in the sky swept across the desert boat wave after wave, and the drag marks caused at the back by the driving of the ship gradually disappeared in the sand and dust as if nothing came before.

Old Father Lal pulled Chen Rui into the ship.

"Sir, I saw that Okafor seemed to send out some special signal just now. Even if he is not a sand bandit, he must have colluded with the sand bandits. We must be prepared to resist the sand bandit attack."

Chen Rui asked curiously, "We are far away from the Stone Horse Town, right? The sand behind has covered up the traces of this ship, and there should be a strong interference with magic or sensing power. How do those sand bandits find us?"

"Because they are sand bandits. Just like sailors who are in the sea all year round, they can always 'smell' something by instinct." Old Father Lal shook his head, "They may not dare to break in near the core, but in the outer areas, they are very familiar with it."

"So, I should ask the sand bandits to lead the way instead of you?"

Chen Rui's relaxed attitude made Old Father Lal frown, "Sir, I know your strength is strong, but in this environment, you must not take it lightly. The leader of the sand bandits, 'Bloodbeard' Montrami is notoriously fierce and powerful. Furthermore, the ships of the sand bandits are more sophisticated, faster, and equipped with large weapons than ordinary sand boats. The few people on our ship are already having ulterior motives. I'm afraid…"

Chen Rui nodded, and Old Father Lal added, "The sand bandits' methods are very strange. Just in case, from now on, we must be very careful about our diet, especially the water. Before we drink water, please activate that kind powerful decontamination so as not to be poisoned."

"En."

3 days passed in the blink of an eye from the tedious and long voyage.

On the night of the third day, Chen Rui closed his eyes on the ship and suddenly heard some kind of 'woooo' sound in the wind, which seemed to be the sound of some kind of horn.

Old Father Lal hurried over and said loudly, "Sir! Bad news! It's the sand bandits!"

The speed of the sand boat suddenly slowed down, and the bald Okafor and others who were operating the ship jumped off the ship and fled.

Chen Rui didn't panic. He slowly stood up and glanced at Old Father Lal, "Aren't you going to run away?"

Old Father Lal felt that his eyes seemed to be able to see through his mind. He couldn't help trembling, and shook his head, "I'm on the same ship as sir. Where can I escape?"

Chen Rui nodded and didn't say anything. He just stood quietly at the head of the ship, looking at the direction from which the horn sounded.

Soon after, the enemy appeared in the vision. Although the sand and light affected the vision a little, he could still see the 4 huge sand ships under the moonlight, which were much larger and faster than this ship.

Lal was shocked when he saw the blood-colored flag flying on the largest ship, "Blood Claw Flag! 'Bloodbeard' Montrami! The leader of the sand bandits! He actually came in person!"

Chen Rui glanced at the big ship, "That ship should be much better than ours."

Lal was taken aback, thinking he heard it wrong, "What did sir say?"

The big ship of the sand bandits was getting closer and closer, and the ship Chen Rui was in had stopped because of the escape of the 'sailors'. It was like waiting for its own death. The sand bandits from the big ships were already rushing over on horses. There were about 30 of them.

Chen Rui didn't even look at the oncoming sand bandits, and he just said indifferently, "If we were on the main ship with that red flag, it would be much faster to reach the destination."

With that said, Chen Rui slowly stretched out his palm and raised it slightly. The Blood Claw Flag desert ship in the distance actually slowly rose into the air. The sound of the horn on the ship stopped abruptly, and it was replaced by bursts of terrified cries.

He slowly turned down his palm and pressed it down slightly. Except for the leader ship suspended in mid-air, the other 3 desert ships seemed to be under some terrifying pressure. They collapsed in an instant, turned into powder, and dissipated in the dust.

This scene completely frightened the approaching sand bandits like it was a dream.

Even Bloodbeard Montrami, the bandit leader on the main ship in the sky, felt this way. The 3 excellent combat sand ships were turned into powder just out of thin air?

I must be dreaming!

In this dream, not only the sand ship, but Montrami himself and all the sand bandits' bodies began to decompose, just like the ashes of burning houses or living people, dissipating bit by bit.

A nightmare.

This was the last consciousness of almost all the sand bandits.

Then, they were thoroughly annihilated.

Old Father Lal stared at this scene with a dumbfounded gaze. The surroundings were filled with dead silence, and he could not even hear the whistle of the wind. Apart from him and Chen Rui, there was no third living person in the entire area, including the floating main ship.

This kind of strength was simply beyond words to describe.

"Disappointed?" Chen Rui's indifferent sentence shocked Old Father Lal, "I'm sorry, my time is limited, so I didn't give you a chance to perform."

"Sir…" Old Father Lal's back was soaked with cold sweat.

"It's not only the bald Okafor who is in contact with the sand bandits, you left a mark in the ship factory. Previously, you asked me to pay attention to our food and activate the decontamination magic to prevent poisoning, but after the last time I activated the decontamination power, you poisoned the drinking water, and I can no longer detoxify. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for me."

Old Father Lal's body trembled slightly. He just witnessed this man destroy all the sand bandits in an instant, including Bloodbeard Montrami. Montrami's strength is stronger than me, but he can't stand this man's casual wave. The strength of this man…

Saint?

No, I'm afraid it's not just Saint!

"The last time I saw a tattoo on your chest, it felt familiar to me. Then I remembered, it turned out that you were from the Cloud Rider Empire in the past. To be precise, a high-level royal family guardian."

Old Father Lal clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Cut the nonsense. Kill me if you want!

"If it's just to use your power to find Dreamy Oasis, I have a very simple way to directly control you and become a puppet that completely obeys my orders. You should be thankful that I didn't treat you like that because of a person."

Old Father Lal didn't ask who the person was, apparently putting his own life and death aside.

"Is there not even the most basic curiosity? I'm curious, the dignified Royal Instructor Regia of the Cloud Rider Empire has actually been reduced to the point of being a sand bandit!"

The real name of 'Regia' made the corners of Old Father Lal's eyes tremble, but he was not too surprised, "Stop pretending! The one you used to heal my poison is clearly the Holy Relic, Crown of Thorns, of the empire! You even said that you aren't someone from the church. However, you won't get any secrets from me!"

Chen Rui shook his head, "I have no interest in the treasures of the Cloud Rider Empire. Although I now know it is in Lobo Lake in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, the wealth is not worth mentioning to me at all. The wealth I possess is 100 times more than that treasure."

"How do you know…" Old Father Lal was shocked, "Who told you?!"

"Before you want to commit suicide or do something, meet someone first. I need to use a newly comprehended secret technique here that is somewhat similar to [Battle Projection], but unfortunately, it has not been completely successful, so the projection time is limited… " Chen Rui was saying something that Old Father Lal didn't understand. With a show of his hand, a light appeared in the vision, and the light gradually condensed into a woman form.

When the figure gradually became clearer, Old Father Lal's eyes froze. He couldn't believe his own eyes.

"Is that you? Teacher Regia." A soft voice sounded.

This familiar voice and title made Old Father Lal no longer hesitate and knelt down on one knee, "Royal Highness Little Princess!"
