Chapter 219 The Golden Demon, The Hospitable Seven Islands
Zhao Fuli and Miao Dingying both possess a certain quality that Chen Qing and Shang Jia lack.
This is probably related to their childhood environment and innate genetic traits.
Hunter Guri and Miu Dingying reached a deal, a win-win situation for everyone.
Miao Dingying summoned her healing-type superhumans and medical professionals to help them with their treatment.
The fluid doctor is quite skilled, but Chen Qing and the others are leaving soon, so the fluid doctor can't stay.
Kori wasn't the only hunter too badly injured to fight; there was another one, Kinki.
There are people who are willing to give Chen Qing face, and naturally there are people who are not.
This is normal.
Gu Li needed something from Chen Qing.
In essence, those who are willing to give Chen Qing face are doing so out of self-interest, not out of genuine respect for her.
If they can gain less from Chen Qing than they give in return, they will no longer give Chen Qing any face.
Like Shangjia, who is hated by more than 90% of the forces in the Deep Blue Sea, she is indeed very strong, but basically no one will give her any face.
The only option is to suppress them by force.
However, Shangjia enjoys it.
In fact, force is also a component of so-called face.
Jinwu stated directly that he wanted to leave the Parti Islands. Since he had lost his ability to fight, he was not prepared to participate any further.
Miao Dingying's attitude was also very good, providing Jin Wu with a small boat.
All the merchant ships on the island have been taken into custody, and no ship can leave the Parti Islands.
It was quite surprising that Miao Dingying was willing to let Jin Wu leave.
Controlling those merchant ships was to prevent them from causing trouble.
Those chambers of commerce control vast amounts of wealth and power, and are backed by powerful figures, making them difficult to deal with.
Those willing to trade on Laru's island are mostly either closely associated with the Delugu family and in cahoots with them, or they are slippery neutrals.
Offending either side won't have a significant impact.
The people on the merchant ship could perhaps be used as hostages.
The neutral faction only considers interests. If Miao Dingying can provide enough benefits, then today's matter can be easily let go.
Apart from Jinwu and Guri, the others completely emptied Lalu's manor and prepared to head to Rena Delugu's territory on Parti Seven Island.
Those hunters who died or were seriously injured were also very unlucky. What was supposed to be a robbery that would benefit everyone except the Drugu family was going badly.
However, after the Cross Star got involved, so many people died.
More than half.
Shining is really harmful.
Even if he were dead now, it would still be difficult to quell their hatred.
Especially Guli and Jinwu, those who died are gone, but the two of them really lost both their wives and their army.
They were fine when they arrived, but before they even left, half of them are already dead.
Chen Qing glanced at Shuang Wei and the others who were carrying large bags, and thought that this might not be entirely unintentional on their part.
The difference between sharing among a dozen people and sharing among just a few people is huge.
When did they first have this idea?
In the very beginning, there certainly wasn't.
They probably realized that other forces were getting involved when the survivors let it slip.
Since there are non-friendly and non-enemy forces involved, and someone is helping them share the firepower, it's okay if some of our personnel die.
Chen Qing and Miao Dingying discussed their attack direction and timing, and quickly finalized the plan.
Miao Dingying's team was to assist Chen Qing and her group, and to share firepower with them.
In exchange, Chen Qing and his group will deal with the most difficult group of people on the seven islands.
They are members of the Dlugu family.
It's mutually beneficial for everyone.
Chen Qing and her group wanted the most valuable resources, while Miao Dingying wanted people and territory.
Miao Dingying certainly lacked resources, but one cannot have everything; they did not yet have the means.
After finalizing the plan, everyone set off quickly.
Besides the seven islands that Chen Qing and Miao Dingying have their eyes on, the other islands of the Delugu family have also been targeted.
The conversation between Barbara and Miao Dingying went well; the Barbara family would send their last elite troops to support Tie Lihua and assist them in attacking the Delugu family.
In exchange, after dealing with the Delugu family, Tie Lihua would be responsible for the Barbaro family's recovery of lost territory and subsequent reconstruction work.
Although now may not be the most opportune time, there may never be a more opportune time.
"Chen Qing, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you."
Barbara nodded to Chen Qing, who was acting as a witness to monitor whether both parties were fulfilling the terms of the contract.
There is payment.
"Um."
"Everything's almost packed, let's get ready to go."
Scarlet Fire walked over and said to Chen Qing.
Laru's manor has been completely demolished. It is conservatively estimated that Chen Qing obtained high-grade materials worth nearly a million goldfish from this manor.
Fei Huo and Shuang Wei also dismantled over 100,000 goldfish, and Ming Meng and Ma Xiu also made a considerable profit.
The rest of the people had nothing.
At this moment, more than a day has passed since Chen Qing and the others arrived on the island.
The Delugu family's archipelago and island territories are very large and numerous, not just a dozen or so islands.
Those islands with populations of less than ten thousand do not deserve to be counted in the archipelago.
There are many commoners in the territory of the Dlugu family, and their bloodline is also very large.
To put it bluntly and cruelly, despite having so many civilians in their territory, they still prey on children in other places, revealing a glimpse of the family's madness.
"Oh, and remember to destroy the underwater tunnel."
Before leaving, Chen Qing gave Miao Dingying a reminder.
The underwater tunnels of the Dlugu family are interconnected, and if they are not destroyed in time, they can easily be invaded by people from other Dlugu territories.
The three islands of Delugu no longer have any defense systems; they've all been dismantled by Chen Qing and her team.
Even if they had them, Miao Dingying and the others couldn't use them.
The same problem makes them vulnerable to invasion by the Delugu family.
"They should have the underground distribution map on them."
Chen Qing's gaze fell on the civilians of Mishima.
"They are very resilient."
She praised these ordinary people, and indeed they were.
Intelligent and resilient, she does not succumb to her fate and is able to bring all the other commoners underground under her command.
Even without Chen Qing and the others, these people would have been able to change their own fate.
The Delugu family has a significant flaw, which is indeed present in most people in the Deep Blue Sea.
They look down on ordinary people too much.
But all professionals are born from ordinary people, so why do they look down on ordinary people?
Based on the information Chen Qing gathered, the professionals were created by ordinary people in order to rebel against the original superhumans.
And now... it's truly ironic.
It seems that the earliest superhumans were not superhumans from the beginning.
No one knows how people with superpowers came to be. According to records, one day, they suddenly gained superpowers.
"Okay, I understand."
Miao Dingying looked serious; this was no small matter.
This territory came too easily; the real test is yet to come.
After reminding Miao Dingying, Chen Qing and the others left through the underwater passage.
Since Miao Dingying hadn't started destroying the passage yet, they decided to leave first.
After Chen Qing and the others left, Tie Lihua was about to leave as well.
To occupy a piece of land for a long time, one must inevitably pay a bloody price.
Sitting inside the body of the Wind Shadow Emerald, they sped towards the Seven Islands of Parti.
It still takes about ten minutes to travel from the three islands to the seven islands.
"Here you go, thank you. Just let me know if you need anything next time."
Shuang Wei took the hair clip off her hair and handed it to Chen Qing.
Shuangwei's personality is actually quite good, as long as you don't cross her bottom line.
For example, tricking her with counterfeit money or something.
"No need, you can keep it. It's only valid for one month."
Chen Qing shook his head and didn't answer.
This thing is practically useless to her; taking it back is just waiting for it to expire.
"Yes, yes, you need this more."
Mingmeng chuckled and made sarcastic remarks to Shuangwei, who rolled her eyes. She knew he was just envious and jealous of her.
"In that case, let's go to the Golden Demon's lair for some fun after we've finished dealing with things on the Parti Islands."
Instead, Shuang made a suggestion.
The Golden Demon is an extraordinary being with the ability to create illusions to confuse humans, making it difficult to deal with.
Before even stepping into their territory, one may already be trapped in the illusion they have created.
But they are very valuable.
Some nobles admired the Golden Demon's abilities and liked to use its bones to make ornaments.
Because of how difficult the Golden Demon is to deal with, very few people would want to hunt it.
The loss rate is too high.
However, I think their group could give it a try?
"Golden Demon."
Mingmeng seemed to be deep in thought. The Golden Demon was actually quite useful for these extraordinary individuals, as it could help them hone their extraordinary abilities and mental strength.
After they pull off this big heist, they won't be short of money, so going to play with the Golden Demon isn't out of the question.
"If we could get our hands on the Golden Demon, the Golden Demon Merchant Guild would hunt us down to the death."
The high price of the Golden Demon is largely due to the Golden Demon Merchant Guild, which specializes in selling Golden Demon products and has a monopoly on the industry.
Apart from Ye Wu, the president of the Golden Demon Merchant Guild, very few people have managed to escape the Golden Demon's lair alive.
None of the other survivors ever brought the Golden Demon with them.
"Hey Chen Qing, you and Shang Jia seem to have a pretty good relationship, why don't you ask her?"
The Demon Dragon Pirates of Shangjia were among those who came from the Golden Demon's Lair, and they never mentioned anything about what happened inside the Golden Demon's Lair.
"..."
Shangjia probably won't tell her, and she might even provide some false information.
The matter concerning Zhao Fuli is not over yet.
"We have a grudge."
Chen Qing's words were concise and to the point.
"This guy, Shangjia, is indeed hated by everyone."
This must be an additional problem!
These people all went to sea around the same time and grew up together. They often interacted with each other, so how could they not know each other's ways of doing things?
It's quite poignant to think about it; of the original group, only these women remain, and they continue to die.
New talents are slowly emerging, filling the positions of those who have passed away.
This world is a giant cycle.
Sooner or later, new people will take their places.
On the surface, the pirates and hunters, including Shuangwei, had a very bad relationship, but in reality, they had never had a real blood feud.
They were also surprisingly united in their fight against certain deeply entrenched families in the deep blue sea.
The last time pirates and hunters teamed up was probably ten years ago?
Who was it against? Shuangwei couldn't quite remember.
Aside from Shangjia and Baixian, who are absolutely incompatible, the others are all acceptable.
I don't know what Shangjia did to offend Bai Xian.
"After we finish dealing with what we're doing, shall we all go to the Golden Demon's Lair for some fun?"
"I have no objection."
Mingmeng crossed his arms, looking quite interested.
Since he was idle anyway, and it was wartime, taking on missions could easily lead to trouble, Mingmeng originally planned to go back to his hometown to rest.
However, since Shuangwei has extended such a warm invitation, it's not appropriate to refuse.
It's good for everyone to connect and get to know each other during this time.
What if something unexpected happens again...
These women, all alone, are easily manipulated by those old and young scoundrels.
"Can."
Matthew also agreed with Shuangwei's idea that if you are idle for too long, your bones will become stiff.
The hunters and pirates who were willing to participate in the war had already joined in; the rest were just peace enthusiasts like them.
It's a good idea for everyone to stick together temporarily.
Barbara didn't go with them; she stayed on the third island. She'll join the main force to attack the seventh island later.
The remaining one, Aini, didn't speak; he wasn't stupid.
Shuangwei and the others' plans naturally wouldn't include him, and if Barbara came along, she wouldn't be included either.
These people all belong to certain camps and are destined to have selfish motives.
Even if they don't have it, someone will force them to.
The reason they were included in the previous plan to attack the Delugu family was because Shuangwei and the others were purely after money.
The current Golden Demon Project is somewhat like bringing together the intermediate faction to stick together for mutual support.
When these women gathered together, no one dared to mess with them.
Unless the red and blue camps put aside their past grievances and join forces against the neutral side.
Shuang's words to Aini's face also served as a warning.
Both the old and young Deng from the red and blue camps should know their place and not mess with me.
"Chen Qing, what about you?"
Mingmeng turned to ask Chen Qing.
"We'll see."
Chen Qing wasn't quite sure, after all, plans can't keep up with changes.
Moreover, unlike Shuangwei and the others, she also didn't want to take sides, but Chen Qing had the added identity of a survivor.
She has her own purpose.
Scarlet Fire had obviously considered this as well, and didn't let them continue asking.
"We're almost there."
The boundary marker of the Seven Islands of Parti has appeared ahead, which means that a truly troublesome battle is about to begin!
Rena Delugu is much more difficult to deal with than Laru Delugu.
"Someone has come to welcome us."
Mingmeng chuckled, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.
Shuangwei wiped the blood off the heavy sword and stood beside Fei Huo.
Chen Qing drew his black knife, his face expressionless.
Directly in front of the Wind Shadow Emerald, the [Welcome Guest] from the owner of the Seven Islands of Parti is waiting for them!
