Chapter 110 A Surprising Rise

Back in the studio, Chen Qing once again focused intently on his battle of wits and courage against the Mantis.

Over the next two days, the Fire Monkey and his group of gem hunters finally found their rhythm, and Chen Qing's points steadily increased.

A gem hunter found a hiding place for a type of treasure-hunting fish called the Dream Carp and wiped them all out.

This propelled Chen Qing into the top 500, bringing his total points to 1.72 million.

However, compared to the top ten survivors on the leaderboard, the gap is still very large.

Currently, the most powerful survivor is Zhao Fuli, or more accurately, the truly formidable Dragon Pirate Gang.

Despite the rampant plundering by the Demon Dragon Pirates, Zhao Fuli has successfully broken into the top ten and is currently ranked fifth.

If the information about the Demon Dragon Pirates is accurate enough, it won't be long before Zhao Fuli is able to take the top spot.

Zhao Fuli's momentum was so strong that the amount of money betting on her in various gambling games also rose sharply, reaching a rather terrifying number.

However, if the survivors who are trying to suppress Zhao Fuli knew about the status and situation of the Demon Dragon Pirates in the Deep Blue Sea, they would know that this was impossible.

Zhao Fuli's success was compounded by both his triumph and his defeat.

The Demon Dragon Pirates are indeed powerful, but for some reason, the major powers in the Deep Blue Sea are quite wary of them and harbor a hidden hostility towards them.

Putting everything else aside, Bai Xian and her pirate crews simply couldn't stand by and watch Shangjia support Zhao Fuli, this puppet, and seize those rewards.

Zhao Fuli can maintain his ranking in the top ten, but forget about getting first place.

Those people will do everything they can to stop Shangjia, and it's not just humans, but also the sea tribes and wood tribes.

They'd rather give the reward to the survivors than let Shangjia get it.

The reason is simple: Shangjia himself is essentially a moody and eccentric madman.

They are even crazier than the infamous Maddrug family.

What's most terrifying is that this madman also possesses extraordinary power.

The survivors didn't experience the most frenzied period in Shangjia, but the natives of the Deep Blue Sea suffered greatly from it.

In the words of the survivors, Shangjia back then was a mad dog, biting anyone he saw!

The most prominent pirate groups in the deep blue seas, such as White Immortal, Gemstone, Night Star, Aurora Silver, Frenzied Metal, and Amnesiac, were the first to be targeted.

Of course, it wasn't just them. There were also the Emerald Islands, the Mechanical Association, the Sky Kingdom of the Plant Sea, the Sun Kingdom of the Whirlpool Sea, the No. 73 Desert Island of the Desert Sea, the 6487 Islands Alliance, and so on, all of which Chen Qing had dealt with.

The number of victims was countless, and the deep blue sea was once shrouded in the shadow of the curse of Shangjia.

There's a reason why Shangjia is being targeted, and they deserve it.

In other words, the members of the Demon Dragon Pirate Gang felt that they were wronged and aggrieved. If they were innocent, then there would be no bad people in the Deep Blue Sea!

The survivors were lucky. Back then, the Deep Blue Sea united to suppress Shangjia and killed many of its members, which calmed Shangjia down and made it seem less crazy and more like a human being.

However, everyone knows that if Shangjia gets the chance, she will turn back into that lawless madwoman.

Therefore, they would absolutely not give Shangjia this opportunity.

Either kill Shangjia, or find a way to send her to the Crimson Sea.

Given this woman's madness, she will die at the hands of the powerful beings in the Crimson Sea sooner or later.

However, after all these years, they still haven't killed Shangjia, and these hostile forces towards Shangjia aren't really of one mind.

After all, profit is the most important thing.

However, they still knew the importance of things. The water they had given Shangjia before was harmless, but this time they would definitely not let Shangjia off the hook.

Once Shangjia gets the reward... that bitch will definitely retaliate fiercely, and they will all die.

Of course, the survivors knew almost nothing about these things; they only saw the glory of the Demon Dragon Pirates, the number one pirate group in the deep blue sea.

The stakes in the betting pool among survivors are incredibly high, with many betting their entire fortunes in hopes of turning their fortunes around completely in this opportunity.

Many survivors have already keenly sensed the unusual activity in the deep blue sea, and the storm is brewing. Only when they have enough supplies and money can they feel at ease.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Chen Qing. No matter what the Deep Blue Sea becomes, she will always have a place there.

At this moment, Chen Qing is deeply mired in the quagmire of improving the Sword Dance Mantis and cannot extricate himself.

After two days, Chen Qing confirmed one thing.

The existing Blade Dance Mantis blueprint cannot be improved at all.

Chen Qing threw down his pen and silently lit a cigarette.

The studio was a mess, with discarded blueprints scattered all over the floor.

Chen Qing tried various methods, but none of them could change the defects of the Sword Dance Mantis.

In fact, Chen Qing could improve the blueprint to enhance the offensive capabilities of the Sword Dance Mantis.

However, its shortcomings will also be magnified accordingly.

This is not what Chen Qing wanted.

What use is an uncontrollable mechanical creation?

Does it hurt both the user and others?

"..."

Chen Qing suddenly paused, his eyes flashing slightly.

She seems to be...

Just as Chen Qing was about to do something, an extremely noisy commotion suddenly erupted outside the window, growing louder and louder.

Chen Qing temporarily put down her work and went up to the deck.

The once empty, deserted island is now packed full of people, and even the nearby sea is now filled with bald green heads.

He is Muscle Turtle, the newspaper deliveryman for Deep Blue Newspaper.

There was also a group of gem hunters whom Chen Qing didn't recognize; he didn't know if they were survivors or natives.

Chen Qing wasn't surprised to see gem hunters on the island, but why were these newspaper-delivering muscle turtles here?

Because she had previously cut the shell of that muscular turtle in half.

"Chen Qing is out."

Suddenly someone shouted, and all the creatures in the entire sea and on the deserted island turned to look at Chen Qing, their eyes burning with intensity!

Among the crowd, several gem hunters looked at Chen Qing with great trepidation. Chen Qing didn't remember their faces, but she did remember their mechanical prosthetics.

She did it.

A group of muscular giant turtles stood up from the water, staring menacingly at Chen Qing with terrifying eyes, giving off a great sense of oppression.

The lead muscular turtle snatched a small turtle from the group; it was the same muscular turtle whose shell Chen Qing had previously cut off.

"pay……"

The lead muscular turtle uttered a strange, human-like, deep blue universal language, displaying an attitude that it wouldn't leave until it paid off.

Chen Qing looked down at them coldly from his high vantage point.

She's in a bad mood right now, and these muscle turtles just happened to run into her.

Chen Qing didn't waste any words with them, and drew the knife from his waist, its blade sharp and menacing.

"Let's all come at once."

As night fell and stars twinkled, in the distance, the muscular turtles, their muscles bulging like dark clouds, densely packed the entire sea, their faces bearing human-like smiles that were utterly eerie.
