Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#516 - Chapter 515 Turning around and speeding up

The cabin was unusually quiet. Xu Ming, wearing black-rimmed glasses, sat at his desk, holding a pen and writing something with intense focus.

"What do you need?" Xu Ming asked without looking up.

Li Chenqiu walked to the desk with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "Captain Xu, something's happened!"

Xu Ming stopped writing, looked up, and frowned, "What happened?"

"That..."

Li Chenqiu pursed his lips, hurried to Xu Ming's side, carefully took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to him, "I can't explain it clearly in a short time. See for yourself!"

Xu Ming took the paper with suspicion and was about to unfold it when his scalp tightened instantly, and a chill exploded in his chest.

"Not good!"

Xu Ming's pupils dilated, and without any hesitation, he swung his fist at Li Chenqiu, but it was too late.

Poof!

A drop of water, like a bullet, pierced Xu Ming's forehead. His weak fist continued to swing forward due to inertia, and was eventually firmly grasped by Li Chenqiu.

Bang!

The sound of the impact, like muffled thunder, echoed in every corner of the ship, causing everyone on board to look sideways.

Someone hurried to Xu Ming's door and tentatively called out, "Captain Xu?"

"Get out!"

Xu Ming's angry voice came from inside the room, scaring the person who asked to shrink his neck and trot away.

"What's wrong with Captain Xu?"

"I don't know, maybe he's lost it!"

"Could something have happened?"

"If something happened, he wouldn't be able to shout 'Get out' with such vigor. Don't worry about it!"

While everyone was talking, Li Chenqiu in the cabin had already burned Xu Ming's body and, with the help of Seventy-Two Transformations, turned into his appearance.

The "Get out" just now was shouted by him imitating Xu Ming's voice with absolute control. Rather than explaining what happened just now to the others on the ship, it was better to show his anger and make them afraid to ask.

After looking himself over in the mirror, Li Chenqiu nodded in satisfaction, tugged at his collar, and left the cabin.

When the people on the ship saw him come out, they all pretended to be busy and dared not look him in the eye.

Li Chenqiu didn't care about this. He came to the door of the cockpit, didn't knock, and walked straight in.

The two people standing in front of the console heard the movement and looked back. When they saw the gloomy-faced "Xu Ming", they quickly stepped aside and respectfully lowered their heads.

"Captain Xu."

"Captain Xu."

Li Chenqiu came to the console, glanced at the dense buttons and levers, and asked displeased, "How long before we reach the shore?"

The young man standing on the left replied, "Half an hour if we're fast."

Li Chenqiu said in a commanding tone, "Slow down and make our ship the last to dock, the later the better."

"Ah? The last to dock?" The young man was stunned, his face full of confusion.

Li Chenqiu turned his head, "This is our team leader's order. You don't need to ask why, just do as I say. Understand?"

The young man nodded, "Okay... I guarantee to complete the task."

"Yeah."

Li Chenqiu patted the other person's shoulder, walked to the seat at the back and sat down, and began to close his eyes to rest.

The only option to go to the sand region where the Space Ring is located is to hijack a ship, but if he does so during the day, he will surely die. So, he only has one way in front of him - act at night!

There will be sandstorms in the sand sea at night, so when night approaches, all ships will return. And this is his chance!

Let the ship he is on slow down, and after the other nine ships dock, he will hijack the ship and go to the sand region where the Space Ring is located.

In this way, he will seize the opportunity, buy time to find the Space Ring, and avoid being surrounded.

More importantly, the sandstorm at night is like a free bodyguard, which will help him block other ships, although this bodyguard is a bit indiscriminate and will also block him.

But it doesn't matter. Quicksand is ultimately earth. Although there are unique rules in the sand sea that restrict him from controlling it at will, he believes that with Wuzhong's earth control ability, he should be able to reduce the power of the sandstorm.

...

Night gradually fell, replacing the daytime heat. Moonlight and starlight were companions, scattering on the undulating quicksand.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

The gale howled like a wolf, stirring up dust, and putting a khaki veil on the sand sea. This was the prelude to the impending sandstorm.

A ship advanced unsteadily, approaching the direction of the pier. This was the ship Li Chenqiu was on.

Inside the cockpit.

The young man sitting in front of the console turned his head, "Captain Xu, the other nine ships have docked, and the sandstorm is expected to hit in fifteen minutes. Should we speed up?"

Li Chenqiu heard this and opened his eyes. Looking at the gloomy sand sea through the window, the corner of his mouth curled up in a smile. He stepped behind the young man and said calmly, "Turn around and speed up."

"Okay, I'll speed up... Ah?" The young man opened his mouth and looked up at Li Chenqiu, "Turn around?"

Li Chenqiu affirmed, "Yes, turn around."

Stunned, completely stunned!

The two people sitting in front of the console looked at each other, and they all saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

The young man turned his head and said, "Captain Xu, the sandstorm is coming. We should return now, not..."

Before this person could finish speaking, Li Chenqiu raised his hand and pressed it on the top of his head, exerting a slight force with his five fingers.

Bang!

A cloud of blood exploded, and a headless corpse slowly fell to the ground.

"This..."

Another younger youth widened his eyes, looking at this scene with horror, his brain directly crashed.

Captain Xu killed someone?

Captain Xu killed someone!!!

Li Chenqiu wiped the blood from his hands, lowered his eyes to look at the young man, and said coldly, "Turn around and speed up. I point where, the ship goes where, understand?"

Clang!

The chair fell to the ground, and the young man sat on the ground with his buttocks, trembling, "You... You are... Who?"

Li Chenqiu walked forward and put his hand on the other person's head, "That's not important, what's important is whether you want to live or die?"

Smelling the strong and pungent bloody smell, the young man's face twitched constantly due to excessive fear, "I... I want to live..."

"Then turn around and speed up, understand?"

"Under... Understood."

"Then hurry up, otherwise I can't guarantee whether you can live to the next second." Li Chenqiu took a step back and gestured to the console.

Urged by death, the young man quickly got up and came to the console, following Li Chenqiu's orders and began to turn around.

Rumble rumble rumble—

Accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds, this ship slowly turned around, heading in a direction completely unrelated to the pier.

The combatants on the ship noticed this and stopped what they were doing.

"Ah? The ship... Why did the ship turn around?"

"Did the driver's head get caught in the door? It's okay to drive slowly, but why did he suddenly turn around? Doesn't he know that the sandstorm is coming soon?!"

"Something's not right!"
