Chapter 293: They Have Laser Cannons on Their Ship!

"One level, one level, one level, two levels, no levels…"

Jiang Chen scanned all the people in the tavern, only one of them was at a level two, with six or seven at level one, the rest were all ordinary people.

But from their tone, they seemed like they were top dogs, acting all high and mighty.

One more daring than the other, Jiang Chen couldn’t understand where they got their confidence from.

It could be said that if there was no level higher than five on this island, he alone would be enough to sweep the whole island.

Ye Qiu saw through Jiang Chen’s thoughts, "The water here is deep, deeper than you imagine."

Jiang Chen nodded, not saying much.

And at that moment, a woman dressed in red, with a graceful figure, suddenly walked over holding a cup of wine.

"Are you all new here? First time visiting?"

The lady then sat down without acknowledging anyone else.

"Are you here for business or pleasure?"

The woman’s flirtatious tone, purposely or not, was directed towards Ye Qiu.

This is a visit to gather information.

Ye Qiu grinned, "Of course we’re here for important matters. Who comes here just to fool around?"

Old Charles approached and handed out wooden cups to everyone. He glanced at the woman but didn’t say much.

The woman smiled and asked, "Oh, what important matters?"

Ye Qiu took a sip from his cup and exclaimed, "Have you heard of the Purple Lantern Fish? People from the mainland are willing to pay a hefty price for its luminous sacs."

"I heard there are many Purple Lantern Fish around here. You’re using them to make glow powder, and the price is surprisingly cheap, almost like giving the money away!"

Old Charles smiled and drank a sip of the wine in his cup. "No wonder, our captain has quite a good business sense!"

The lady smiled enchantingly and said, "That’s really an incredible business deal."

Saying this, the woman moved closer to Ye Qiu and whispered softly in his ear, "I wonder if the captain has a date tonight?"

Old Charles quickly gestured with his eyes towards Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu looked disappointed, "No no no, my wife sent someone to keep an eye on me specially. You can see that."

Ye Qiu’s gaze shifted between Jiang Chen and Zhou Li.

The woman brushed against Ye Qiu, then stood up with her wine glass. "It’s a shame. I live at number thirty-six, Red Rose District. If you ever have any trouble, feel free to come find me, Captain."

After the woman left, Charles cleared his throat. "Almost all the women on this island are under Lady Night’s control. They are always irresistibly tempting. Don’t let their charm deceive you, my friend."

Ye Qiu grinned, "You really have strong willpower."

Old Charles said helplessly, "When I was a young man, I was also deceived by them to the point of despair."

"But that’s all in the past, my friend. Now I just want to make money, I don’t want to bother with anything else."

"Of course, we still need to drink."

"Let’s go back to the ship at night. There are always a few ears on the walls here, or a few mice, it’s too hard to get a good night’s sleep."

。。。

Back to the ship.

The tipsy Charles went to the seaside to relieve himself, his gaze constantly roaming around the nearby harbor.

After zipping up his pants, Charles returned to the ship, quickly checked that no one had tampered with it, and then went to the captain’s cabin.

"Today we can’t leave, so let’s keep watch. A group of fierce dogs, once they spot prey, they won’t let go."

Jiang Chen turned to Charles and asked, "How many people are outside?"

Charles sat down, took a deep breath, and replied, "I can’t see clearly, but there should be quite a few. We can’t leave today, my friend, or else you’ll know what it feels like to be chased by ten ships."

Following their original plan, they intended to spread some news through the tavern after collecting supplies.

The first piece of news was that they wouldn’t be leaving in the short term, as they had a business deal to discuss.

They might even come back later.

When some pirates who liked to aim big heard this news, they usually wouldn’t act immediately.

This way, they gathered food and could quickly sail away when back on the ship.

Yet, they were still being watched.

Ye Qiu tapped on the map on the table, they were almost at the Eye of the Death God Sea, there would be more troubles ahead.

"When crossing the Tang River, there will always be a few mosquitoes wanting to suck on your legs."

"But the blood of the Human Alliance is not so easy to suck."

"Set sail."

Charles was surprised, he saw Jiang Chen suddenly put on a hood, his bloody eyes flashed in the darkness, and he disappeared into the shadows!

Ye Qiu’s fingers tapped on the table, this time, his tapping became particularly rhythmic.

Suddenly, there was a green light flashing outside the ship, and a scream came from outside.

Every time Ye Qiu tapped, there would be a scream from outside the ship, followed by splatters of blood or flesh exploding!

Ye Qiu tapped a total of twenty-six times on the table.

"Twenty-six, that’s quite a few."

The next moment, Jiang Chen, his hand covered in fresh blood, suddenly emerged from the shadows.

Ye Qiu slowly stood up at the sight, "Let’s set sail, Charles. I’m going to take a nap, wake me up when it’s dawn."

"If there are still locusts on the road, Old Chen, seize the opportunity to get rid of them."

。。。

The next morning.

Ye Qiu woke up and went to the deck, where he saw a figure standing on the sail.

Upon spotting Ye Qiu, the figure leaped down and exclaimed, "Quite a few people, seven ships."

Ye Qiu yawned, "How many are left?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "They’re all gone, fed to the fish."

Just then, Zhou Li, with hands gripping the chain, suddenly emerged, "You’re awake now, president. You have no idea. Last night he was like a laser cannon, casting a death curse upon the ship’s sail!"

"It’s like my hometown during Chinese New Year, crackling like firecrackers. I can’t believe you managed to sleep through that."

Laser cannon?

For some reason, a picture suddenly appeared in Ye Qiu’s mind.

Countless pirate ships closing in on them, and their own ship equipped with an automatic targeting laser cannon.

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but smile at the thought, "You rest up first, they shouldn’t dare to come out during the day."

With that, Ye Qiu looked directly at Charles, who was wrapping a cigarette on the hatch, "Where are we now?"

Charles exhaled a puff of smoke, "The wind is favorable. We should arrive tonight. Looks like another sleepless night ahead, my friend."

"Do you know the terrifying legend of the Eye of the Death God?"

Ye Qiu looked at Charles, "Can you tell it?"

Charles smiled, "The legend says The Eye of the Death God is a huge sea portal, but in my opinion, it’s just a very large whirlpool at sea."

"A whirlpool at sea, you know, ten ships entered, ten ships all sank, but the strange things I know of go far beyond that."
