Chapter 186: Attempted Co-optation
"Big guy, you see it's getting dark this day, or let them look for it tomorrow, right?"
A pirate who was left in front of Dongfang Shuo to convey the news, after receiving a message full of complaints, turned his head and begged Dongfang Shuo like this.
And Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "No, keep looking until you find it." ”
In fact, the island is also bigger than Dongfang Shuo imagined.
When he came by boat, he saw that the island was already very large, but it was not the whole picture.
According to the pirates, it takes an hour to circle the island at full speed.
Now that half a month has passed since the mission, Dongfang Shuo has to step up.
What's more, now there is only one clue, I don't know if Ji Henghu is on the island or not, if not, it will take a lot of time. In that case, Dongfang Shuo will be even more unaffordable.
"But we're also very new to the roads on the island, which is muddy swamps in addition to the winding mountain roads. In such a situation, not only is it not efficient to search at night, but it will also affect the search during the day tomorrow, isn't this a waste of time, big man?" the pirate said to Dongfang Shuo after a pause.
Dongfang Shuo listened, and felt reasonable in his heart.
He coughed lightly and said, "I have my own considerations, but if I can't find it for a while, then it's okay to take a little rest." ”
These words made the pirate breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, he raised the sound bell and prepared to deliver the message.
Before he urged the sound transmission bell, Dongfang Shuo spoke: "You can rest and rest, but there is one condition. Before sunset tomorrow, even if you turn the whole island upside down, you have to give me a result, or you will bear the consequences. ”
A sentence at his own risk, which immediately frightened the pirate who was responsible for delivering the news.
The devil knows what the consequences of Dongfang Shuo said, and he, as the closest pirate to Dongfang Shuo on the whole island, is sure to be the first to suffer.
"I think it's still ...... You're not resting, are you?"
The pirate thought for a moment, and immediately put down the sound transmission bell in his hand.
Dongfang Shuo shook his head again: "No, rest! Even if it is a pirate, it is a human being, and it is very important for a warrior to rest before reaching the foundation building period." If you don't have a good rest today, it will affect your search during the day tomorrow. ”
His tone, righteous and stern, was convincing.
When the pirate heard this, he was eager to slap himself a thousand mouths.
But helpless to Dongfang Shuo's obscenity, he finally urged the transmission bell and passed Dongfang Shuo's words out one by one.
When they heard that they could rest, the pirates who had already spread all over the coastline of the island immediately cheered.
But when they heard that there would be results before sunset tomorrow, their eyes suddenly lost their brightness.
The price of this rest is too great......
"How long have you been using Kushan Island as a base?"
After the news was delivered, Dongfang Shuo suddenly asked.
The pirate put away the transmission bell and looked at Dongfang Shuo with a puzzled expression.
Dongfang Shuo arrived again: "I'm asking, how long have you pirate gangs gathered on Kushan Island?"
"Oh, if you count the first pirate ship that came here, it has been seventy or eighty years, and since then so many pirate ships have gathered one after another. "But the first bands of pirates were either wiped out by their own deaths, or they had made enough money to wash their hands." ”
"Besides Kushan Island, are there any other pirate strongholds in this part of the East China Sea?" asked Dongfang Shuo.
The pirate paused, also worried about Dongfang Shuo's purpose.
But due to Dongfang Shuo's power, the pirate still said truthfully: "Yes, there is, but of course the most influential is our Kushan Island." It can be said that anyone who can take root on Kushan Island is definitely the most powerful and influential pirate ship in the East China Sea. ”
"The most powerful in the East China Sea?
Dongfang Shuo raised his eyebrows.
The pirate was embarrassed and said: "We pirates, to put it bluntly, are bandits, and of course you are no better than the big guy." After all, as long as there is a king, who would want to live this kind of stormy and bloody life, don't you say?"
Dongfang Shuo nodded.
What he said is not unreasonable.
Subsequently, Dongfang Shuo asked again: "In this case, you pirate strength is not particularly strong, and as you just said, some pirate groups on Kushan Island were wiped out because of 'death'. You have made chaos in the East China Sea, why are you still so rampant for decades, and there is no government to clear you?"
"The government, the countries of the East China Sea are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have the time to meddle with our affairs?" the pirate smiled and said, "Besides, you think that everyone is going to you, and if you have nothing to do, you will run to the depths of our East China Sea?"
"Huh?"
Dongfang Shuo frowned and looked at him.
He was suddenly full of excitement.
"My mouth owes, my mouth owes ......" When he said this, he slapped himself vigorously.
Listening to this voice, it seemed to be quite hard, and after a while, it was even red and swollen.
"Alright. ”
Dongfang Shuo stopped his hand, motioned him to stop, and then came again: "But since you say so, basically no one in this East China Sea can control you?"
"This is not a big guy, are you here?"
"I said no one can take care of you but me, right?"
"That's pretty much what you can say. ”
"That's ......"
Dongfang Shuo pinched his chin thoughtfully and muttered for a moment.
And the pirate looked at Dongfang Shuo's appearance, and at a glance, he knew what he was planning again.
The thought of this made the pirate's heart chuckle.
"Big guy?"
Seeing that Dongfang Shuo didn't speak for a long time, the pirate immediately said.
As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Shuo looked at him and said, "Among you pirate gangs, how much is the most wanted?"
"Hmm...... We seldom pay attention to these, and the highest seems to be 150,000. ”
"150,000?"
Dongfang Shuo nodded.
In this way, it is higher than the wanted quota of the White Wolf Extermination.
The amount of the bounty is not directly related to strength, but also depends on the region, the degree of harm, etc. These guys dominate the East China Sea as pirates, and although their strength is not as good as that of the White Wolf, it is not easier to clean them up than to clean them up.
The reward of 150,000 yuan is unexpected, but it is also reasonable.
"Then if there is a thief leader who has a reward of 180,000 gold coins and wants to cooperate with you, are you willing to do it?" Dongfang Shuo asked.
Although it is cooperation, in fact, Dongfang Shuo is moved to directly absorb their minds.
If this black and dark piece of pirates can be co-opted, it will be like a tiger for Zhao Yihuo's forces.
The pirate paused, and immediately said, "As long as it is profitable, of course the cooperation is willing to do it." But this big guy, I didn't expect you to know the thief who offered a reward of 180,000 gold coins, so it turns out that you are not from a famous family?"
Judging from Dongfang Shuo's speech and demeanor and clothing, the pirates naturally regarded Dongfang Shuo as the young master of a large family from the beginning.
Although it was meant to be.
"You guess that. ”
Oriental Shuo Road.
At this time, he was thinking about how to change cooperation to co-optation?
After all, it is not difficult to use their strength to deter them for a while, and let them do one or two things for themselves, but the difficult thing is to make them really willing to be driven by Dongfang Shuo.
Moreover, just now, aren't there still two pirate groups that have not listened to Dongfang Shuo's dispatch for a long time?
It is not easy to completely co-opt them.
"Then may I ask, who is the thief with the 180,000 bounty you just mentioned?"
The pirate asked.
Dongfang Shuo said: "His name is Zhao ......"
Before the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, which made Dongfang Shuo immediately stop speaking.
"I'm done, Master, I'm done!"
While shouting, it was Ah Yu who hurriedly came.
When Dongfang Shuo released him from the scroll this morning, he was already practicing the recruitment of "Tong Back Palm".
At this moment, it is not surprising.
However, what Dongfang Shuo was most emotional about was that this guy was really a genius in physical martial arts, and in just eight or nine days, he was able to practice the eight-rank martial arts.
If you are someone else, let alone practice, you may only be able to learn it in eight or nine months.
"Hit him and show me. Dongfang Shuo stretched out his hand and pointed to the pirate standing on the side, and said.
Although Ah Yu said that he had an excellent heart, he was only eleven years old after all, and he looked at people based on good and evil alone, which was why he was so easily rebelled by Dongfang Shuo.
No matter what the man in front of him has done, he is a pirate, and in Ah Yu's eyes, he is a bad person.
Dealing with bad guys, Ah Yu will not be merciful.
When he raised his hand, the spiritual power surged, and the momentum of the back palm was still formed.
The pirate looked at Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Shuo's eyes signaled that he was not allowed to move, and the latter could only stand obediently.
Bang bang bang!
However, the interest rate is reversed, and the three palms are settled quickly.
Feeling the rolling waves, Dongfang Shuo also nodded with great satisfaction.
And now Ah Yu is still only practicing the Qi realm, and the three palms will not do any harm to this pirate, but no matter how low the strength is, it is also a solid three palms, and the pain is inevitable, needless to say.
Seeing the pirate's uncomfortable expression, Ah Yu also smiled.
"System, retrieve two more sets of martial arts, I think this kid learns quite quickly. ”
Dongfang Shuo said in his heart.
But the system said: "Suggestion: The host should first improve Ah Yu's cultivation, cultivation is more important than martial arts, and the higher the cultivation, the faster the comprehension of martial arts." ”
The system's suggestion also made Dongfang Shuo immediately dispel the idea of continuing to let Ah Yu learn martial arts.
At this time, Ah Yu had already mastered a set of eight-rank martial arts, and this martial arts attainment, not to mention practicing the Qi Realm, even the Copper Skin Realm was enough.
Immediately, Dongfang Shuo glanced over and signaled the pirate to retreat.
"Ah Yu, come to the picture scroll. ”
As he spoke, he had already unfolded the map of mountains and rivers.
The cultivation of the Qi refining period lies in breathing. Absorb the aura of heaven and earth to refine the dantian, condense the spiritual sea, and lay the foundation of martial arts.
Teaching cultivation is much simpler than teaching "Tong Back Palm".
For the rest of the time, Dongfang Shuo did not leave the Mountains and Rivers Map, but also began his cultivation.
Integrate martial arts and comprehend martial arts.
