Along the way, Ye Qiu encountered sixteen pirates, none of which dared to confront Ye Qiu, and in the next three days, the pirates under Ye Qiu's command expanded to the scale of thousands of people, and the [Headless Earth Yuan Ship] needed more than three thousand people to achieve his basic operation. At the same time, they arrived at the island where Li Yang was dropped.

Li Yang They are not difficult to find, because when Ye Qiu drove the [Headless Tuyuan Boat] to come, Li Yang surrendered directly on the beach by the island, he thought that it was the water storm that led the army to come, and when he found Ye Qiu, Li Yang and the others did not look very good.

"Your Excellency, are you looking for us?" Li Yang said timidly, and at the same time there was a little unconvincing in his tone.

"yes." Ye Qiu smiled and said, "I'll tell you about the previous thing, I'm sorry." ”

"My lord, it doesn't have to be this way." Li Yang hasn't seen him for a few months, but he has become polite.

Ye Qiu looked at Li Yang with a smile, the cold sweat on Li Yang's face became even worse, he didn't know what Ye Qiu's purpose was for bringing so many people over.

"Would you like to be my captain?" Ye Qiu said.

"What?" Li Yang was surprised at first, and then said, "My lord, I'm not so self-conscious, I can't control your fleet." ”

"It's okay, just take them and don't make trouble." Ye Qiu said.

"My lord, I'm sorry." Li Yang lowered his head.

"Then forget it." Ye Qiu turned his head and left.

The captain of one of the ships that Ye Qiu had captured came over and said, "My lord, can we serve you?" ”

"You guys?" Ye Qiu shook his head with a smile and said sharply, "Tie them to the boat for me." ”

When the soft one doesn't work, Ye Qiu directly uses the hard, Ye Qiu really can't find anyone who can be his captain, and the most important thing is that he doesn't trust these people. The captain of the [Headless Earth Yuan Ship] is different from other positions, the captain has most of the authority on the [Headless Earth Yuan Ship], even if the captain uses the self-destruction device, the [Headless Earth Yuan Ship] will not hesitate to destroy himself, just the loss of the [Headless Earth Yuan Ship], Ye Qiu will feel distressed for a while, so he must find someone he can trust to serve as the captain.

Li Yang did not resist, obediently got on the ground [Headless Tuyuan Ship], got on the pirates of the [Headless Tuyuan Ship], and found that there was only Ye Qiu on the [Headless Tuyuan Ship], and they immediately regretted that they did not have the courage to resist the power, and by the way, plundered the property of the power. Of course, Ye Qiu had no intention of letting them go down, Ye Qiu waved his hand, and the stairs to get off the boat disappeared.

"Honestly, I don't trust them." Ye Qiu looked at Li Yang who was being tortured.

"Do you trust us?" Li Yang looked at Ye Qiu fearlessly for the first time, and at the same time used a questioning tone.

"I believe in you, and I believe in you." Ye Qiu said sincerely.

"Then why did you leave us behind?" Li Yang said with some excitement that after being put down by Ye Qiu, Li Yang seemed to be a different person, no longer like a pirate, and he had reflected on many reasons why Ye Qiu abandoned them, one of which was because they were pirates.

Ye Qiu thought for a while, and slowly told all the things about the three-headed worm, including the final battle, Li Yang listened to it with a thrilling sound, and finally came to the conclusion that "It turns out that it is because we are too weak." ”

"No, no, I'm afraid you're going to die."

"You're worried about us?"

"Yes." Ye Qiu looked at Li Yang's eyes sincerely.

"My lord, I'm scared too."

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid of disappointing your expectations." Li Yang said weakly.

Ye Qiu laughed twice and said, "It's okay, as long as you take care of this group of people, if you encounter disobedient people, you will be thrown directly into the sea." ”

Ye Qiu's words reached the ears of several pirates who boarded the ship together, making these pirates sweat coldly, and then Ye Qiu ordered them to call the other pirates on board, and after the other pirates got on the ship, they found that there were not many people on the ship, and they immediately came up with the idea of killing people and seizing the ship.

Li Yang showed that the [Headless Earth Yuan Ship] was different from other ships, as well as the captain's authority, the [Headless Earth Yuan Ship] condensed several earth element arms and threw several thorns directly into the sea. So, the rest of the pirates behaved like cats, and they did whatever Li Yang said.

Li Yang has never tried to manage so many people, but the method he uses is also very simple, "sitting" one person to commit a crime, all of them will be punished, Li Yang selects twenty people, and then lets each of these twenty people elect another twenty people, distribute the power layer by layer, and then manage it at the top of the hierarchy.

The ships of the other pirates directly opened a big mouth for the [Headless Tuyuan Ship] and incorporated them into the hull, which needed Ye Qiu to do it himself, except for the fourth-class pirate ship, the rest of the pirate ships Ye Qiu didn't want them all, and abandoned them into the sea.

Ye Qiu, who had nothing to do, casually found a place to practice the [Seven Star Sword], followed by the sword stars in the sky. Ye Qiu was never sporadic, even if he had Gou Li and Star Spirit guidance on the side, he couldn't practice the sword star all at once.

Before I knew it, it was night, and Li Yang found Ye Qiu, "My lord, are we going to save Miss Shui Ling?" ”

"yes." Ye Qiu said subconsciously, then shook his head again, and said, "No, we are looking for Shui Ling's father." ”

"Then you'll have to tell us a direction, we've been walking aimlessly for a day." Li Yang said bitterly.

This stumped Ye Qiu, and he didn't know where the water fright was.

After Ye Qiu casually dismissed Li Yang, he paced around the room, thinking about where they would go next.

"[Shrine Maiden Island]." The Star Spirit said a place.

"What?" Ye Qiu said.

"What kind of place is [Shrine Island]?" Gou Li also asked, every time Gou Li woke up, it took a long time for Gou Li to wake up, and he was too out of touch with this era, except for some long history, and the [Seven Star Sword], he had nothing to guide Ye Qiu.

"[Shrine Island] is a center of intelligence concentration, and it is said to know everything in this world, of course this is bluffing, but they should know something about this sea area." Xing Ling said lightly.

"And where?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Southeast, keep walking, not too far." Star Spirit said.

The next day, Ye Qiu told Li Yang and them to go to [Witch Island], but none of them knew about this place, Ye Qiu was curious about how the star spirit knew, and after telling them to go to the southeast, Li Yang went down to make arrangements.

Ye Qiu was practicing [Self-cultivation] while chatting with the star spirit.

"How do you know where [Shrine Maiden Island] is?"

"I've been there before." The Star Spirit was very cold.

"The previous owner was from [Shrine Maiden Island]?"

"It's not."

"And how did you get there?"

Xing Ling didn't speak, and Ye Qiu was not interested, so he concentrated on practicing [Self-cultivation], and after finishing a set, Ye Qiu was also tired, and when he saw the deck, he was surprised to see Li Yang holding a book reading.

"What are you looking at?"

"Your Excellency." Li Yang first wrote the compilation respectfully, and then said, "This is "Strange Stories of the Sea", which records some rumors that some sea voyagers have experienced. ”

"Oh, it seems to be funny."

"If you're interested, you can take it and see it."

"No, how do you feel about being a captain?"

"There are still not enough people, and I need to concentrate on controlling the [Headless Earth Yuan Ship] most of the time, and now I have some leisure."

"It's okay, let's find some more people halfway." Ye Qiu's "finding people" is actually the capture of pirates, which led to the addition of a giant ship in Li Yang's "Strange Stories of the Sea", a giant ship constantly captures pirates in the sea, which is called the "Giant Ship of Justice", and is called the "Demon Ship" among pirates.

A few days later, after Ye Qiu's "manpower" was sufficient, he realized how far away what Xing Ling said was not too far, they arrived at a sea area where no land could be seen, and Ye Qiu asked Xing Ling how far away, Xing Ling only said that it was almost there, and then sent Ye Qiu away.

For half a month, Ye Qiu walked for a whole month in this sea area that was invisible to the land before they saw a small island, an island smaller than [Headless Island], and Xing Ling said, "That's it." ”

"Okay, full speed ahead." Ye Qiu shouted.

Ye Qiu, who was used to standing on the deck, didn't notice that Xing Ling's expression was a little frightened at this time, and he recalled some bad memories.

"My lord, this is what you call the [Shrine Maiden Island]?" Li Yang said.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I seem to have seen this place on Gonzo of the Sea, and it's called the "Island of Soul Trading". ”

"Tell me what the above says about this." Ye Qiu glanced at Xing Ling, then turned his head and said to Li Yang.

Li Yang briefly repeated the content of "Strange Stories on the Sea", the only currency traded on this island is souls, and the more extreme the soul, the higher the value it represents, and there is a rule here, either bring people who need them over, or you can't reveal any information here.

There are very few records of this place in the "Strange Stories of the Sea", all of them were told by some people who had been to [Shrine Maiden Island] before they died, and it is said that everyone who revealed this island all died of natural causes, and no one was spared.

"Why don't you tell me?" Ye Qiu said complainingly.

"Do me something." Xing Ling ignored Ye Qiu's complaints.

"What?" Xing Ling rarely talked to Ye Qiu like this, which made Ye Qiu get serious.

"Destroy here, and there will be no one left." Star Spirit said murderously.

"Why?" It was rare for the Star Spirit to ask him for help, so he made such a request.

"You'll know then." The Star Spirit seemed reluctant to mention it.

The star spirit looked at the [Witch Island] intently and said, "There are a total of three hundred and seventeen people on it, and one thousand six hundred and thirty-one souls, all of which are extinguished. ”

"What !!" Ye Qiu looked at Xing Ling in surprise, to be honest, Ye Qiu was not a murderous person, let him kill so many people for no reason, he really couldn't do it.

"You can at least tell me why." Ye Qiu shouted.

"When you get to the island, you know." The Star Spirit seemed to be a little impatient, and took the initiative to enter the pet space for the first time.

Ye Qiu looked at the appearance of the star spirit in surprise, he actually hid and hid in the pet space, Ye Qiu was surprised by the star spirit too many times today, and it almost didn't turn into a fright.

"Since he said that you will know when you go to the island, then go to the island and talk about it." Gou Li came out and said.

"Okay." Ye Qiu said helplessly.
