As night fell, the giant ship remained anchored at sea, its lights shining brightly.

In the hall, amidst a dazzling array of food, a group of pirates danced and gesticulated excitedly.

Sitting atop the throne were the four leaders of this group of pirates, drinking and eating meat, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"The fourth brother has been gone for so long, why is there still no news? Why doesn't he send someone back with a message?"

Of the four leaders, the one sitting in the middle was a burly human man who slowly put down his wine bowl, his tone clearly showing some displeasure.

"Perhaps we were too excited and forgot for a moment. Let's wait a couple more days, and we should have news by then!"

Another wolf-headed orc leader nearby tried to smooth things over: "That guy gets excited easily at the sight of blood. But this time the harvest should be even more plentiful."

The chief nodded and then looked at Robert.

"The Robert brothers said that the further inland you go, the richer the land becomes. Is that true?"

As Robert was swept over by those cold, questioning eyes, he shuddered: "Of course it's true. Dragon Territory is extremely wealthy. Before I left, it was already the wealthiest power in this land, and now I think it's even wealthier than before."

As Robert spoke, he saw the greed on the faces of the pirates and could only silently mourn for Dragon Territory.

roar!

A roar suddenly rang out, causing the entire giant ship to tremble slightly.

The pirates, who had been dancing and reveling in their jubilation, suddenly froze, their faces blank with disbelief.

They quickly regained their senses and realized there were enemies. Everyone frantically drew their weapons and rushed out, standing on the deck, warily looking around.

The four leaders looked at each other, and the eldest leader stepped forward as well.

As soon as they appeared, they saw several figures in the sky.

Four dragons surrounded the giant ship from the four directions: east, south, west, and north.

The four leaders' expressions immediately changed.

The hot-tempered werewolf grabbed Robert by the collar: "Didn't you say that the lord of Dragon Territory was just a Glory-level black dragon?"

He launched into a tirade, spraying Robert's face with his foul-smelling saliva.

Robert looked completely innocent and asked blankly, "Is there a problem?"

"You still want to ask me what my problem is?"

The wolf-headed man's face was grim. Of the four dragons, only the red dragon was of the Glory level; the remaining three were all radiating an aura that had reached the peak of brilliance.

Not only him, but the other three leaders also turned slightly pale. The chief leader forced a smile: "Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

"Misunderstand?"

Su Qing looked at the other party coldly: "You robbed my wealth, slaughtered my people, and now you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you're so long-winded, Fatty!"

Black Dragon's cousin was somewhat dissatisfied: "Just kill them, they're just bugs anyway!"

After saying that, without waiting for Su Qing's reply, he exhaled a breath of black dragon air, which was like mist or black liquid, and had a strong corrosive effect.

The chieftain's expression changed. He reached out and pulled, and a horse-slaying saber appeared in his hand. His fighting spirit surged, and he slashed out fiercely.

The blade flashed and sliced ​​through the black breath. The chieftain and some of his close associates were unharmed, but the ordinary pirates further away were in dire straits.

The black dragon's breath instantly incinerated a large number of people into ashes, and the giant ship was also corroded and destroyed in an instant.

"Wait, let us go, we'll leave right away and never come back here again. If you agree, I'll give you a message!"

The chieftain spoke quickly, his tone urgent, fearing that the other party might start another fight if things went wrong.

He had struggled to catch that breath just now, and his precious sword was corroded and pitted. He wasn't confident he could block it again.

"Go to hell!"

Black Dragon's cousin was filled with murderous intent, wanting to vent her anger for her brother, and she opened her mouth to exhale again.

Su Qing quickly covered the other person's mouth: "Cousin, slow down, let him finish speaking!"

He then looked at the pirate chief and said, "What news do you have? If it's valuable, I might spare your life!"

The chieftain's expression changed slightly. The other party's words were clear: he could spare his life, but the people behind him could forget about it.

In the brief moment of his hesitation, the third leader, the tall, thin man, rushed out: "I know about that news too. I can tell you, just spare my life!"

"Third brother, you! You're asking for it!"

The chieftain flew into a rage and slapped them, unleashing the power of the eighth level of the Glorious Realm. With a single blow, he shattered the bodies of the three chieftains, killing them instantly.

Having done all this, the chieftain immediately lowered his head and said meekly, "If you gentlemen are willing to spare my life, I will tell you this news!"

"explain!"

Su Qing stared at the other party, waiting for this supposedly valuable information.

If it's genuinely valuable, then fine; but if it's fake, then he'll just kill the person who made it.

"Please keep your promises!"

The chief gritted his teeth. He had originally wanted the other party to sign a contract, but he realized that it was unrealistic and could only place his hopes on the other party keeping their word.

"We've been adrift at sea and witnessed many incredible things. This news comes from an island..."

The chieftain slowly began to speak: "We accidentally discovered a small island, or rather, a small piece of land, because that island was very large, the largest island we had ever seen."

We first discovered it during the day. We tried to get close to the island, but we couldn't. After many attempts, we discovered that the island had a repulsive force that prevented our boat from getting near.

Later I tried to fly over, but I failed.

“We had already given up, thinking there might be no one on that island, but at night, the repulsive force emanating from the island suddenly turned into a suction force, and our boat was pulled directly onto the island.”

"At that time, we tried to escape immediately, but found that our boat was firmly held by the island, and we tried many times but failed."

After that, we temporarily abandoned our plan to leave and went to explore the island.

The Great Leader's breathing became rapid, and Su Qing's attention also focused slightly.

"As it turned out, we found a temple on that small island, a ruined temple!"

The words "temple" carried a strange magic, like a spell, startling not only Su Qing but also the other three dragons.

The significance of the temple is extraordinary; only gods are qualified to reside in the temple.

A dilapidated temple, or in other words, you can imagine it as the dwelling place of a dead god.

"We tried to storm the temple, but we couldn't budge it no matter how hard we tried, so we had to give up and leave by boat after dawn."

After finishing his speech, the chief looked at Su Qing expectantly, hoping that the other party would spare his life.

Su Qing did not disappoint him, and immediately flapped his wings and left.

The chieftain was overjoyed and was about to express his gratitude and leave when his cousin, the Black Dragon, unleashed a breath that instantly turned him to ashes before he could react.
