"Are they on board yet?"
Cha Xiaodao applied an ice towel to his arm, as blood seeped through. Behind him were black smoke and flames.
The four Red Sail Lock Ships seized the opportunity early and had already escaped the coverage of the East India Company's cannons. Cha Xiaodao and a group of Gaoli ghosts, along with Lady Dan, were all on the ship.
"On the ship behind you."
Li Yan's voice suddenly rang in Cha Xiaodao's ear.
"On what?"
Cha Xiaodao didn't hear clearly. His hearing was already compromised in one ear by the Gong Fish, and the chaos at sea at that moment made it even harder to discern Li Yan's words.
"On the ship behind you, I killed Ruan Anming. Right now, the Demon Thief's people are hot on my trail. The English are right behind them."
"I see them, those English cannon are too fierce!"
