Chapter 455: You’re Given the Opportunity but You’re Useless
The Four Seas Group includes the East, South, West, and North.
The East Sea Dragon Clan tends to align with the Ming Country in terms of ideology and cultural habits.
The South Sea Dragon Clan is located south of the Ming Country and their ideology and cultural customs are relatively more passionate and lively. They are also known to have warm personalities. To put it nicely, they are open-minded and forgetful, but to put it bluntly, they are gullible and foolish.
But very few people can deceive the South Sea Dragon Clan, you may deceive yourself to get what you want, like wealth and power, but there will be a price to pay. The other party will deceive you and keep you bound until death before you can break free. If you’re unlucky, you will continue to be trapped in the next life.
For some people, it’s definitely more than just excitement, they think it’s a great opportunity. But for the Sea King who wants multiple wives and concubines, encountering the South Sea Dragon Clan is a disaster. The South Sea dragon maiden loves men who are ‘open-minded’ and passionate, and she directly sends the Sea King into the marriage grave. The South Sea dragon children are even more open-minded, their defensive range includes but is not limited to humans, and not even limited to the opposite sex.
That’s why the South Sea Dragon Clan has more stories.
The Western Sea Dragon Clan is mostly concentrated in the border waters of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. They control unique shipping routes and often have a weak presence. They are like the child in kindergarten who doesn’t like to talk.
The Northern Sea Dragon Clan is located in the northern region, which is a relatively cold sea area with scarce resources. The biggest resource of the Northern Sea Dragon Clan is actually fish. Fish are a type of food and as a meat source, they provide a lot of protein, fat, and more. Moreover, fish in the sea have fewer parasites, grow bigger and faster, exceeding the qualities of ordinary freshwater fish.
The Northern Sea Dragon Clan consists of black dragons, just as most Azure Dragons come from the East Sea. The appearance of black dragons is somewhat abstract, with distinct edges and sharp claws. They don’t give the impression of elegance or dignity, but rather of ferocity and bloodlust.
The battle impulse of the black dragon clan is the strongest, and their desire for slaughter is also extremely vigorous. This is why the Northern Sea Dragon Clan has the largest territory among the four dragon clans, because they are still constantly exploring the uncharted seas and battling against sea monsters. Most of the aquatic creatures under their command are elite fighters.
However, this doesn’t mean that black dragons are foolish. In fact, they are also skilled in business. The business they conduct is very sophisticated, not ordinary logistics or speculation, but banking.
As the basic currency popular in various countries, the black dragons of the Northern Sea have made indispensable contributions to the Dragon Coin. The banking system for settling Dragon Coin transactions was established by the black dragons. Nowadays, the domestic currency economy of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is already fragile. The most widely circulated currencies here are only the Ming Country currency and the Dragon Coin.
Bai Wei heard Xue Hanlei’s review of the North Sea and used the words "quite terrible."
Because the Black Dragon liked to influence other countries and expand its power, it caused economic shocks many times, and even deliberately provoked civil wars in small countries or triggered food crises. It took advantage of the chaos to sell food and disrupt the market, causing the collapse of the agricultural trade in small countries and controlling their food source. With this method, the Four Seas Group established granaries all over the world. That’s why the North Sea Dragon Palace has some similarities to Winterland and Amelia’s taste.
Many aquatic creatures from the North Sea began to venture onto land to spread their influence. They infiltrated other countries and disrupted their internal affairs.
It is ineffective against major powerful countries, but the Kingdom of Da Ming and the allied country of Ba are eager for more spies to gain results.
However, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, which is on the verge of extinction, is completely powerless to resist the infiltration of the North Sea Dragon Palace. The situation is even worse in Liu State, where there are no rules. In order to obtain a treasure, they are willing to set up a trap and kill over a hundred people from three big ships.
Bai Wei marveled at the reckless behavior of the North Sea and the complex internal situation of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. At the same time, he was curious about what made this treasure so attractive.
He used to be an observer, but now the fire had reached his heels, and he could no longer sit still.
The helpers and sailors couldn’t die either. If they died, there would be no one to sail the ship. If there was a small boat, they could consider leaving.
Bai Wei caught sight of a nearby drifting raft and had some thoughts. In fast-flowing water, a raft could actually be faster than a bigger ship, but it was not very stable and might easily capsize.
While pondering, Bai Wei heard the sound of a fish scale blade. It turned out that several accomplices on the first floor had been taken care of and only one remaining member, with bloody hands, ran up to the second floor. Just as he was about to speak, he was stabbed in the back by a fish scale blade. Blood spurted out and landed at Bai Wei’s feet. The corpse rolled down the stairs and was stopped by a foot, while the fish scale blade was pulled out. Treading on the corpse, the stranger continued up.
At that moment, Chao Lu, who was on the second floor, didn’t disguise herself, and Yan Yubing was whispering to Chao Lu.
Seeing this scene, the stranger squinted his eyes, as if he had realized something. His attention shifted from Chao Lu to the little snake girl.
Men and women are different, and beautiful women are always scarce. As for dragon nature, it is inherently lustful, with great needs in all aspects.
The stranger was just an ordinary North Sea aquatic being sent here as a spy, already being a disposable pawn. It wouldn’t be strange for him to die at any time. There were originally seventy to eighty of his peers, but now there were less than ten left. The Liu State consumes both humans and monsters.
He has survived so far with trembling caution and extreme care, all while harboring the idea of making it big in one go. He could never achieve it on his own, but if he could cling to the thigh of the North Sea Dragon Clan, he could at least become someone important.
Aquatic beings rely on the Dragon Clan. The aquatic beings of the North Sea are all dependents of the dragons. They are subject to the dragons’ strength and also cower under their authority. They are almost treated as expendable resources. Only a very small number of people have the qualifications to become high-ranking officers among the aquatic beings and gain favor from the Dragon Clan. The stranger’s luck in his whole life depends on this!
In fact, that’s how it is for insignificant people. They have to climb up in life. If they don’t have a noble bloodline, they can only struggle and rely on luck. Seizing the one opportunity in their lifetime can make them soar. Now he feels that luck has finally come to him after waiting for so long, and there is an abundance of good luck that can’t be stopped! He just had a treasure earlier, and now there is an additional snake girl here.
The stranger’s face showed an expression of pleasant surprise. He hurriedly stepped onto the second floor while dragging the fish scale blade. If he were smarter and had more knowledge, he would have recognized Bai Ze and realized that this gift from destiny had already been marked with a price he could never afford.
"Stop for a moment."
Just as he was about to go upstairs, he heard the man wearing a bronze mask speak.
"Want to buy your life?" The guest was in a very good mood. "Hand her over, and I’ll buy you a coffin to bury together, guaranteeing your return home."
Upon hearing this, Chao Lu was initially angry and thought, "Am I not attractive?" But upon hearing the next two sentences, her mood calmed down.
She praised, "This thief leader really has good taste."
Even death will be buried together. Ah… cursed romance.
Bai Wei simply said, "If you go upstairs, there will be no way for you to leave the living world. Bring your boss here, I want to have a talk with him."
Upon hearing this, the guest immediately burst into laughter, bending over and even shedding tears from laughing. He rubbed his eyes, then retorted, "Are you even worthy?"
Bai Wei laughed along, "Well, why don’t you go upstairs and give it a try? It’s just one step away… I guarantee you would die quickly."
He wanted to chat with the Black Dragon because they had many resources. Maybe they could trade or make a deal. He was just passing by, and he had a good relationship with the Eastern Sea Dragon tribe. With this connection, maybe they could do some business together.
However, even though Bai Wei warned repeatedly, he couldn’t stop the greedy ones from seeking their own death. The nobleman had a face full of success, but he didn’t notice that the word "death" was already written on top of his head in the book of life and death, as designated by the Night God Moon.
He went upstairs and pretended to be surprised, saying, "Just a moment ago, you were shouting for me to die quickly. Why aren’t you attacking now? I have already come up, oh no, I’m going back down. How about this, how about this? I came up again, I went back down again, and now I’m up again! Kill me, idiot?"
He had reason to be confident. After mingling for so many years, he could easily tell who was strong and who was weak. He couldn’t sense anything from Bai Wei, he even felt that the other person was like a dying person. Even if there were any tricks, the master was on the other side and wouldn’t easily let him die. This was his confidence, so he started to provoke, jump around, deliberately provoke, and…
He died.
The fish scale blade in his hand slipped from his grasp, making a loud sound as it fell to the ground. Something had pierced his chest, opening it up.
The nobleman widened his eyes, feeling all his strength disappear from his bloodstream. He had wanted to watch this kid fight, but he didn’t expect him to die so quickly.
When exactly did they kill me?
He lowered his head, trying to find something from his chest. And he found it. Enduring the intense pain, he pulled something out from his chest.
"Fish… fishbone…?"
Bai Wei corrected, "That is your own fishbone."
The customer couldn’t hold on any longer, kneeling to the ground, unable to close their eyes in death.
Bai Wei reached out and tapped its forehead, and a head flew off, leaving a headless body tumbling down the second floor, dead next to the body it had killed before. Bai Wei glanced at the original form of the customer after their death, "Still a big yellow fish."
The little snake girl licked her lips when she heard "big yellow fish."
Chao Lu tapped her head and said, "Are you a hungry demon reborn? Why do you want to eat everything?"
Bai Wei stood on the second floor, now that the customer was dead, the sudden disappearance of their aura would surely attract someone else’s attention.
The mysterious dressed fisherman took off the hat on their head, revealing a sinister dark red vertical pupil.
"You dare to kill my fish?"
With powerful force, like a black dragon lurking at the bow of the ship, not only exerting pressure, but also spreading a demonic power that makes the ship sink deeper into the water.
"I gave him a chance, but… I gave him a chance, but he was useless," Bai Wei shrugged innocently.
"No matter who you are, I’ll give you a chance to end it yourself."
"…Do none of the dragons in the North Sea understand human language? That’s too arrogant," Bai Wei sighed. "I actually wanted to do business, but it was your own fault for letting the fish bite."
"Everyone present today will die, there’s no business to discuss," the black dragon of the North Sea unleashed its demonic power, its neck covered in black dragon scales, saying, "No matter who you are."
Bai Wei frowned, finding it rather strange… What kind of treasure could make a dragon capitalist give up doing business, disregarding all rules for only higher than a 300% return?
Realizing that there was no way to resolve this peacefully, he sighed helplessly, "This is something you brought upon yourself… But a black dragon is not bad either. It’s worth me sharpening my blade. If I were to say that I’m just one step away from the Martial Saint realm, will you leave?"
The bronze mask partly opened, revealing the burning face of Zhurong in silence. "Can you escape?"
