Chapter 48 The Mysterious Bird Ship Incident

It was already late at night when Chen Qing and Fire Monkey headed to the Anemone Tavern on Sapphire Island.

Pirates and bounty hunters, drunk and sprawled on the roadside, were everywhere.

The island's civilians were already fast asleep, but the port area remained bustling with activity.

When they entered the Anemone Tavern, there were still quite a few hunters scattered around inside.

"Boss, give us five Deep Sea Bombs each!"

As soon as he entered the tavern, Fire Monkey slammed his coins on the table and shouted loudly.

Deep Sea Bomb is a popular mixed drink in the world, made by blending various high-proof spirits.

Hunters often enjoy a few drinks after a mission to release stress and frustration.

After all, each mission often ends with the death of a comrade.

Although Fire Monkey had been comforting the other hunters, it was clear that she was also upset about the Bird Adventure Team stealing her prey.

That's what they say, but who wouldn't feel frustrated in that situation?

The bartender, used to this, quickly brought out the deep-sea bombs, lining them up in a neat row.

Smelling the pungent smell of alcohol in the glass, Chen Qing drank the wine in one gulp.

The past ten days or so in this world have been dozens of times more exciting than all of her previous lives combined, and Chen Qing is indeed under some pressure.

Fire Monkey, seeing Chen Qing's actions, clearly misunderstood Chen Qing's meaning, thinking that Chen Qing was like them.

After a few drinks, Huo Hou began to confide in Chen Qing, pouring out his heart and complaining.

The other hunters were also flushed from drinking, letting loose and having a good time.

Only Chen Qing remained calmly seated amidst a group of drunkards, and the boss silently gave Chen Qing a thumbs up.

"sharp."

They actually praise people like this in their world.

"That Flying Bird Adventurer Group, what's with all the arrogance? They're just a bunch of noble kids!"

"If I had their connections, I'd definitely be even more powerful than them!!"

"Woo-woo-woo—my sea monster, my C-class sea monster—"

"That's outrageous! Waaah—they don't need that little bit of money—"

"John—you died such a terrible death—"

The drunken hunters began to weep and hug each other, while Chen Qing was put on a sisterly camaraderie with the fire monkey, who put his arm around her shoulder.

Sitting amidst a group of drunkards, Chen Qing felt helpless.

Actually, Fire Monkey and the others weren't necessarily really drunk; they were just using drunkenness as an excuse to vent their frustrations.

When drunk, they use it as an excuse to do whatever they want.

Chen Qing drinks and smokes, but she's not addicted.

She dislikes the feeling of being drunk and losing her senses, and she also dislikes the feeling of being controlled by something.

Fire Monkey and her friends kept causing trouble until almost dawn before finally stopping, and a group of handsome young men, breathing heavily, appeared at the entrance of the tavern.

Chen Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, but before she could make any move, Fire Monkey and the others had already rushed forward with smiles on their faces, each grabbing one of them.

"..."

Chen Qing understood instantly.

"Chen Qing, how about I introduce someone to you too?"

The fire monkey winked at Chen Qing and clung to the handsome boy.

She's also over 1.8 meters tall, and the guy had a hard time.

"No."

Chen Qing smiled and shook his head, then took out a few coins from his purse and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

The tavern was in such a mess because of the fire monkeys' teasing that the owner would have to spend a lot of time cleaning it up after closing.

Have fun.

Chen Qing patted the fire monkey on the shoulder, waved to them, and left without looking back.

The Fire Monkeys are indeed quite good; they are strong, experienced, and know how to behave appropriately.

Maybe I could join their bounty hunter team.

However, we'll have to wait until Dalia's matter is resolved before discussing this further.

The port was very cold in the early morning, and breath turned into mist. The ships moored on the dock were unusually quiet.

Chen Qing stood on the dock, his brow furrowed as he looked in the direction of the Flying Bird Adventure Team.

Why couldn't she sense any human presence on that ship?

The Flying Bird Adventure Team's ship was quiet and empty, as if there were no living people on board.

The ships near the Flying Bird Adventure Team were eerily quiet.

Could they have brought something incredible out of the adventure island?

An ominous premonition filled Chen Qing's heart.

"Sister, you're back?"

Suddenly, Dahlia opened the door, wearing a nightgown and barefoot on the deck, looking sleepy.

"Okay, go back to sleep."

Chen Qing jumped onto the boat, half-squatted on the railing, and glanced again in the direction of the Flying Bird Adventure Team.

The people on Sapphire Island... they should be able to handle this, right?

Although Chen Qing didn't know what was on the ship, she had a premonition that what was on the ship could very well lead to the annihilation of all the civilians on the island.

Apart from a few pirates and hunters who managed to escape, the rest...

"Take your sister back to the cabin!"

A cold voice rang out in the quiet dock, and Dahlia's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with vigilance.

Several bounty hunters had already appeared at the port, scattered on the rooftops or ships around the Flying Bird Adventure Team.

Among them was the bounty hunter named Shuangwei, whom Chen Qing had met before.

It seemed that Sapphire Island had already discovered the strange behavior of the Flying Bird Adventure Team. Chen Qing covered Dahlia's curious eyes and took the child back to the cabin.

"Behave yourself, don't go out and cause trouble, stay in your room."

Chen Qing tapped Daliya's head and gave the super-powered vines the order to protect Daliya.

When she was away, it was always the super-powered vines that took care of and protected Dalia.

With Chen Qing, the adult, not on the ship, only the child Daliya remained, and many pirates had their eyes on her.

However, none of them were able to leave the ship, and the sea fish below were all fattened up by Dahlia.

"knew."

Dahlia responded obediently.

After drinking, Chen Qing's mind cleared up a bit, which might sound a little strange.

However, Chen Qing felt that her five senses had become much more sensitive, and she planned to go back to the studio to study the three mechanical creations.

The Water-Covered Healing Butterfly can be delayed; prioritize developing the Super Shield Whale and the Explosive Warrior Rabbit.

The machine factory was still operating diligently, with mechanical spider bombs piled up in one corner of the warehouse and water purifiers occupying the other half of the area.

Chen Qing estimated that there might be more than 10,000 units, and they could start selling the water purifiers tomorrow.

Not only that, she also had to find a way to spread the mechanical spider bombs throughout Sapphire Island.

She would avoid the civilian areas.

Just as I sat down, a huge noise came from the dock, and the seawater was blown up!

Chen Qing's ship began to shake violently. She watched as the small boat next to her window flew into the air, accompanied by the bewildered expressions of the pirates on board.

"..."

Chen Qing lowered his head, but couldn't help but smile.

Sorry, it's actually a little funny.

However, Chen Qing's smile soon faded.

When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat will inevitably suffer as well.

They are that fish.
