Sea God Pirate Group!
The Flower Witch was in the water, struggling to hold her breath, curled up into a ball, trying to avoid detection.
Chen Qi pulled his foot back, raised his head, and looked at the captain of the Sea God Pirate Group's warship.
The man had seaweed-like green hair, wore round frame glasses, sported a long twist braid, and also held a Tentacle Book in hand.
Of course, the most eye-catching feature was his green, snake-like vertical pupils—he was the famed Captain Sea Snake, the patrol fleet commander of the nearby Sea God Pirate Group.
A Third Rank Spiritual Power field, Book Master, a Mage—his tome was his core weapon. Though his eyes resembled those of a snake, his appearance was surprisingly stern... Chen Qi gauged the man's strength and weakness.
An average level of power.
At this moment, the captain of the Sea God Pirate Group, Captain Sea Snake, glanced at the ship behind Chen Qi and excitedly said,
"Brother, it's Thursday today, nice weather, eh? Seems like you've got yourself entangled by tentacles, feeling all weak and limp in your limbs, right? Give me 500,000 Shell Coins! I'll save you! And I'll throw in a bottle of moisturizing cream!"
The power of the tentacle grass wasn't great; it was mainly the effect of a one minute of control.
A one minute control effect! For 500,000 Shell Coins!
That familiar feeling of camaraderie! The distinctive feature of Witch Sea!
Chen Qi couldn't help but get excited.
As a little captain who had traveled far and wide, he hadn't yet encountered one of Witch Sea's signature elements—extortion and robbery!
In Witch Sea, when two unrelated ships of similar strength encounter each other, they generally don't engage in battle.
But if two ships came too close, then the stronger ship would undoubtedly demand a 'collision fee' from the weaker one.
It was the same with the Sea God Pirate Group. Although they controlled an area called the Mad Sea, it was a scenic place during the daytime.
They also had a tourism business, allowing merchants, adventurers, Hunters, and Mechanics to reside on their islands.
Additionally, because of Sea God Island's unique geographical conditions, if the White Tower Federation wanted to enter Witch Sea, the Sea God Islands were a great stopping point,
so their islands would have people from Shell Country as well as visitors from the White Tower Federation.
To maintain the reputation of their islands and to attract new members, the Sea God Pirate Group generally didn't launch attacks on ships unless they were from hostile factions.
But not being able to make money from robbery didn't mean they couldn't make money from 'saving' people.
After flipping through the Bounty Order and confirming Chen Qi was a harmless good guy:
"Oh, traveler from afar, let me tell you, these tentacles are utterly ruthless! If we don't save you now, you might get strangled alive!"
"You're charging 500,000 Shell Coins just to deal with these lousy weeds?"
Chen Qi retorted without any intention of paying.
You don't need to be polite when talking to pirates.
And at the end of the day, these tentacle grasses were only sticking to him and wouldn't cause any real harm.
Sea Snake frowned and condescendingly said,
"Right now, you're powerless, and without us, how would you break free from the tentacles? We are your saviors."
"Get lost!"
Chen Qi mercilessly kicked away, freeing himself from the tentacles and then viciously kicked at the chunky, oversized tentacles.
A kick! Followed by a fierce Qi Power kick!
Through practice, Chen Qi had discovered that against the relentless attacks of sea beasts, as long as he was ruthless enough, cold-hearted enough,
these clingy sea beasts would obediently scurry away!
"?"
At this, Captain Sea Snake shouted,
"Don't kick! This is a tentacle grass trap from Smiling Moon, it'll go berserk!"
"What did you say? I can't hear you clearly!"
Without hesitation, Chen Qi gave the tentacle grass another hard kick.
Sea Snake said in horror,
"Stop it! You will provoke their anger—"
However, by the time he said this, it was already too late!
Clang! Clang!
One after another, the tentacles turned a vivid red and awoke furiously from the sea, giving Sea Snake a big showdown.
He kicks you, so why are you hitting me? Captain Sea Snake didn't understand at all.
Then, a terrifying forest of tentacles abruptly rose from the seabed, raging toward the warship, wrapping up about a dozen men on board!
Moreover, to express their anger, the tentacles tightened around the ten men from head to toe, fervently siphoning Spiritual Power.
Turtle bondage, tied up quite professionally... Chen Qi couldn't help commenting, before turning to look at the Flower Witch hiding in the water. Your next chapter is on empire
Well...
Above the water surface, small bubbles gurgled up, and a little black flower of shock floated by—
Fortunately, Fen wasn't injured by the angry tentacle grass... Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, signaling Fen to run quickly, drew his black blade, and with a leap, landed on the deck.
"Save, save me..."
Among the tentacles, Captain Sea Snake stretched out a hand with effort.
As a pirate who had consumed 'Deep Sea Protective Liquid,' he had never imagined that he would be attacked by his own trap!
He was firmly wrapped by the tentacles, his vitality rapidly depleting.
Chen Qi, carrying his black blade, walked over and said amiably,
"Dear, do you need help?"
"I do, of course I do..."
Sea Snake said with a choked voice.
Chen Qi patted the hefty tentacle:
"Rescue fee, 500,000 Shell Coins, ten people, 5 million, I'll give you a 12% discount! Let's make it a round number, 6 million Shell Coins!"
How much? A discount? 6 million Shell Coins!
Sea Snake's eyes bulged at the words.
Damn it, indeed there were no good people who came to their Sea God Islands!
