"Zhuang, can I bring this news back to Mermaid Island?"
Emma asked cautiously, with an embarrassed expression, and her skin became bluer as if it were congested. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"This news should not be hidden for a long time, the official and our Kraken Group know, are you still afraid that the mermaid will not know?" Yan Zhuang asked strangely.
"Ahem, if we cooperate with the official, the mermaid may not be able to get the news." Captain Eight spoke proudly, and when he looked at Emma with a straight face, his expression was quite strange.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"I'll tell you." Without waiting for Captain Eight to struggle with how to express it tactfully, Emma said angrily: "Humans treat us mermaids as aliens and don't share news with us. β
"What about your own sources?" Yan Zhuang was even more curious.
Without answering Yan Zhuang's question directly, Emma said with a dodgy look in her eyes: "As strong people, we like to go alone and go to the sparsely populated sea area to enjoy the fun of hunting. β
"We rarely stay on Mermaid Island for long, and it's not uncommon for hunting to extend to a few months."
"Alright, I see."
Yan Zhuang interrupted her roundabout statement, and said bluntly with a smile: "You just say that you are few and withdrawn, not only do you not exchange information with humans, but even your own group does not care about each other?" β
Emma was dumbfounded, and really didn't know how to refute it.
"Okay, you can bring this news back, but you have to get me a batch of level 3 crystal nuclei first, the five of us have needs."
In front of Captain No. 8 and Sam, Yan Zhuang didn't mean to bring them with him politely, they just needed things that could increase their experience. And after completing the task, they have to leave, and they don't live here permanently, so why do they want favors?
"No problem! As much as you need, I'll hunt it for you as soon as possible! Emma said excitedly.
Yan Zhuang glanced at his teammates, pondered about Ruan Yue's upgrade from level 3 to level 5, and asked for a hundred level 3 crystal nuclei at one time.
This number was so large that even Captain Eight glared at him with the eyes of the evil slave owner, but Emma did not feel the slightest pressure, and happily said that it would be ready in two days, and then jumped off the ship and went fishing.
"Look at the spirit of others!" Yan Zhuang, who felt that he was going to be less, was very unkind and disgusted to the captain.
Seeing that the captain's expression became serious, Yan Zhuang immediately raised his hand and said lazily: "Thank you for giving me face just now, I know you want to say that this news can't give people mermaids, but believe me, I will get Boss Dylan to agree to do this." β
Before he could speak, the topic was cut off, and the captain glared and snorted twice, and yelled outside: "All move!" Return to the main ship! β
After the pirates got busy, he glared at Yan Zhuang and said, "You better think about how to explain to the boss first, we are not far from the main ship!" β
The captain brushed his sleeves away, and Sam was sent away by Yan Zhuang, leaving only the five of them and the old Ryan who had lost his foothold after being resurrected.
"Xiao Yueyue, keep an eye on it, don't let people spy on us."
Let Ruan Yue, who has the highest mental power, be in charge of the vigilance, Yan Zhuang sat cross-legged on the ground, and warmly beckoned the confused old Ryan to sit down.
"Old Ryan, you have experience and connections, as long as you have a ship, you can make a comeback immediately, why do you look like a decadent here?"
Old Ryan raised his eyelids, and the blow of the loss of the family property was suppressed, and the shrewdness of a businessman appeared in his eyes again.
"Honorable lord, what do you want me to do?"
"Simply!" Yan Zhuang snapped his fingers and said lightly: "I want you to use the news that the Sea King is about to lay eggs in exchange for the reward of all the pirates in this sea." β
"My lord, I can't do that." Ryan Sr. refused: "Although I don't have a ship, I still have some assets in the settlement for me to spend my old age in peace." β
"If I do what you think, the pirates of the entire North Sea will not spare me!"
"Relax my friend." Yan Zhuang pressed his hands down slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "If the Kraken Group comes forward to protect you, do you still have to worry about other pirates?" Your career will reach a new height! β
Old Ryan showed his disbelief and said casually: "If you can give me a letter from Captain Dylan as a guarantee, then I will spread the news throughout the North Sea for you." β
Four hours later.
Yan Zhuang, who came out of Dylan's room, looked obscene, holding a freshly baked protection document in his hand, which was stamped with Dylan's captain's seal, and the quality was guaranteed.
"It's really a handwritten letter from Captain Dylan...... Can I ask more, why did I choose me? β
This news can be spread very secretly and quickly through the news network of the Kraken, and there is no need to pull him by the way.
"Hehe, you have an official status, and you are a victim of the Arthur Massacre, these two conditions are incomparable to anyone."
"Now that the letter of guarantee has been given to you, you can also set off at the same time when Emma returns to Mermaid Island."
The next day, Emma came back tired, carrying a fishskin bag filled with a warm Rank 3 crystal nucleus.
"I didn't waste a group of level 3 sea beasts on the way back, so there were 24 more level 3 crystal nuclei in this bag."
Emma, who overfulfilled the task, was rewarded with a Wu Lai brand recovery massage, and then under Yan Zhuang's earnest advice, she couldn't wait to return to Mermaid Island.
After setting up a large net involving all the forces in the entire North Sea, Yan Zhuang announced a retreat and took the group members to experience the feeling of experiencing the ascension in the room provided by Dylan.
"Alas, I only ate 8 to reach level 7, and sure enough, I can't do it without a level 4 crystal nucleus......"
The five of them were uniformly promoted to level 7, and except for Ruan Yue, the physical fitness of the others has been greatly improved. Now they don't dare to say more, it's no problem for each person to rely on their physical strength to single-handedly pick up a level 3 sea beast.
The skyrocketing strength brought about the instability of control, and after destroying more than a dozen cabins of the Kraken, Yan Zhuang, who initially controlled his power, was called by Dylan to have a secret talk.
"Knock knockβ"
Calloused fingers anxiously knocked on the mahogany tabletop, Dylan was excited and uneasy, and as soon as he saw Yan Zhuang push the door in, he immediately beckoned him to come and sit down.
"The head of the Flame Regiment and hundreds of low-level pirate regiments have united to force the North Sea King to abdicate, the official Self-Defense Force and the Crystal Hunting Regiment have joined forces to deploy troops in the southwest sea, and all the members of Mermaid Island have also taken a place there, what should I do next?"
Completely different from Dylan's excitement, Yan Zhuang, who had long been in control of the overall situation, calmly poured himself a glass of red wine that was not very delicious, took a sip of disgust, and said lightly: "Dear captain, take it easy, it's not a big deal." β
"I'd like to know what Assef is doing first." For this existence, which has forced Nirvana since he appeared, and now he has not appeared, Yan Zhuang is really very jealous.
"Asseph, that monster?" Dylan said disdainfully: "After fighting the Reef Regiment once, he was seriously injured and fled by the Sea of Men tactics, and never showed up again." β
"The Flame Regiment didn't even hurt its vitality, and those small pirate regiments have all become cannon fodder for him!"
Nodding noncommittally, Yan Zhuang raised his glass to him: "Then what else is there to worry about?" Cheers to our upcoming Mermaid Island riches! β
After he got the news of Aquaman's spawning, he didn't even think about playing the dangerous game of fire, his goal was only Mermaid Island!
