Surprise!

lush green grasses with pointed yellow tip dances when the wind blows into them, cheerfully they scream in joy welcoming the sun as it rises into the sky with its soft golden light that gives vitality to everything it touches, crystal clear stream flows through the lush plain as it twists and turns like a snake, some say that water is the essence of life because without it no life would ever exist, the smell of freshwater tingle the nose of the creature nearby.

A white fluffy sheep cheerfully jump about as it gets closer towards the river, it closes its eyes as it breathes in the air before it bent its head down to drink from it.

Satisfied, the sheep straighten its neck to look towards the side only to see an arrow flying towards it, unable to react, the sheep were shot right in its left eye, penetrating its brain and killing it instantly, the sheep fall to the side softly as its wool support its fall, but it doesn't matter as the sheep is already dead.

A skinny black man wearing only a loincloth to protect his private part smile as he put his wooden bow to his back, he slowly caressed his short black hair while he walked towards the sheep.

The man was just about to take the sheep back home to feed his family before he sees a wooden huge ship in the distance, sailing slowly towards him, the ship looked magnificent and stunning, yet it changes the man's smile into that of terror, he rushes away from the ship like he was running from a demon, and it seems his decision is wise because bolts were constantly being shot towards his direction, he runs away as fast as he can dodging a few bolts that miss him by a centimeter, morning breeze cools his body but he can't afford to stop to enjoy it.

The man escapes far from the river, after seeing the rain of bolts stop, he turns his head thinking that it was safe only to see that a bolt is flying towards him, impaling his head before falling to the ground and died.

"Are you all blind, you can't even properly shoot a man from this distance?!" A man with a brown spade bear on his face shouted in anger, he releases his hands from the handle of the ballista as he walks with big steps towards his crew.

His crew can only look down in embarrassment."The man was too thin sir, it's hard to shoot him," one of his crew said while looking down.

The captain glances irritatedly towards the man."Hmph, I heard that the filthy rebel forces can make themself invisible, if you maggots can't shoot something you see in such close distance, how would you f*****g expect to able to shoot an invisible man!"

The captain stomps his feet a few times in anger."I shouldn't have drink that liquor that is supposed to be for the lord if not then I wouldn't be stuck with you guys!"

The crew still had their eyes towards the floor, some scratch their head in embarrassment.

"I'm too tired to lecture you maggots, go back to position and go full speed towards BlackRock City, I'm going to sleep, and don't let anyone disturb me until we arrive at BlackRock City!" The captain stride towards his room and slammed his door making the world seems quiet except for the slapping of water against the hull and clanging halyards against the mast, small birds fly over them as they chirp cheerfully while they dance in the air with their friends.

The crew returns to their post after they exchange a look, some on the lookout for indigenous people to shoot at, some mop the floor and some just cover their faces with a hat and take a nap while leaning on the wall.

The Ship speed up towards Black Rock City, with meridian cultivators blowing wind towards its mast, just like usual they brought goods to sell to BlackRock and they also want to some goods from BlackRock City to sell to other cities, the crew leisurely do their work while some just close their eyes and open up their arms to enjoy the morning breeze like they were in a yoga.

It was just like any other day, the sun is rising, the wind is blowing, the birds are chirping and then the ship is sinking, wait the ship is sinking! The crew was startled as they realize the ship is sinking slowly, one of them run to check the hull only to see a giant hole is pulling the water inside the ship, he cast a spell that froze the water and prevents more from coming inside only to see there are more holes on the other side of the hull, he immediately froze the water to block the hole and finally, there is no more water that enters the ship.

The man wiped his forehead as he sighs in relief, suddenly the ship shake and the man wobble in confusion, then something bad happens, the holes he just fixes is open again and there are more and more holes appearing as the ship continues to shake, water rushed into the ship like tidal waves, the other meridian cultivators also dash to check the hull and immediately fix the hole together.

"What happen, why are there so many holes on the hulls? Is it the Coral Serpent that makes this hole?" one of them asked towards the man that is the first one to check the hull.

The man shakes his head."I don't know either, the ship just shake then there are more holes appear on the hull,"

"Hey, look what is that!" a man shouted

They look towards the ice that blocks the holes, as the ice is transparent they can see something through it, and what they see through the ice is something that horrifies countless people to travel by ship, a big black ball with spikes protruding out of it, the ball slowly approached the ship, and when the tip of its spike touch the hull it explodes, shaking the ship and creating large holes that enter the water into the ship.

The meridian cultivators were devastated by the explosion, only one of them survives but he is hopeless because the explosion destroyed his leg, the man panic as the water level starts to rise and the ship starts sinking again, his injury is fatal and he can't properly move to block the holes, lost of all hope he closes his eyes when the water level is above him.

The crew on the deck is unable to help him not because they are lazy that's because they already dead, small holes can be seen on their dead body, mostly in their chest and in their heads, a quick death given by the phantom unit.

"The ship is clear, hurry, grab the supplies before the ship sink!" suddenly a squad of soldiers with combat uniform materialized out of thin air, with the order of their leader they dash and leap on top of the ship and take whatever goods they can and put it on the ground near the river before they leap again to take more goods, the soldiers work efficiently as they are almost clear out all the goods in the ship.

The captain was just sleeping in his room until he was awakened by a noise, irritated he got up and kick the door."What is that noise didn't I tell you not to disturb me?!"

The captain glance towards the deck only to see a bunch of people in weird uniform taking his goods while his men lying on the ground with bullet holes in their bodies, he was startled before he went into rage mode."Who the hell are you people, how dare you take my goods!" he leap towards the soldiers and punch one of them in the face making him flying to the sky before plunging into the river, the squad of soldiers was startled by the sudden appearance of this man.

But they have no time to react as the captain went to punch one of them again, this time right in his right jaw bending it before sending the man flying and fall to the ground helplessly.

"Don't just stand there, kill the man with the stupid beard!" the sergeant ordered them.

His men pull a black knife out of their vest and encircle the captain in a fighting stance.

The captain was irritated but when he saw their small knife he smirks in disdain."Haha, your small knife won't work against me I'm a Foundation Building low stage body cultivator, you know what that means? it means your puny little swords won't even scratch me!" The captain roar and dash towards a soldier, The captain was an experienced fighter because he drinks regularly and so he would get drunk and brawl with the others daily, he was a nasty man and when he lifted his hand to punch you he means serious business, just like usual the captain lifted his hand and punch towards the man's face.

But the soldier lowers his body to dodge and s***h the captain's abdomen, the others also dash towards the captain and s***h at him, the captain was big and tall much taller than them so after slashing him they jump back to avoid counter-attack.

The captain smirks."Told you it won't work on me!" he raises his hand in a fighting stance only to see blood flowed out of it, the captain was startled and he just realized that his body is full of gashes wounds and blood gushes out like a stream.

The captain stared at his wounded hands, he was confused and perplexed."Impossible, how can your little knife hurt me?" The captain was in a rage when he knows that they successfully hurt him, like a madman he charges towards the soldier without care for defense, it was his style because he thought the best offense is a good defense.

Yet not this time because the soldiers have firearms in their hand and repositioned themself to avoid friendly fire, when they see the captain rushed towards one of them they pull the trigger and rains him with bullets, the firearms roar as flame spew out of its barrel like a dragon's breath, the captain had no chance to survive, his body had been filled with holes that expose his destroyed organs, in such close ranges, assault rifle are extremely deadly, the captain weakly glance at his wound then turn his head towards the soldiers before falling into his death.

The sergeant nod."Mission cleared, put the goods in the truck, we're leaving!"

"Yes sir!" The soldiers responded before they lift the goods and dash towards their invisible truck, one of the soldiers come out of the river and hurriedly dash towards them."Hey, wait for me!"
