"Also, since Zhang Yue can hide his Tyrant Body level, then the other three people who also practiced Octopus Tyrant Body should be able to hide it as well, right?!"
This thought gave Chen Mo a chill! If the leaders of the Octopus Pirates hadn't all had their own concerns during the naval battle, they probably wouldn't have escaped. If they had fought, he would have been in great danger!
Chen Mo, who felt like he had been to the gates of hell, was now filled with fear!
"My strength is not invincible, so I still have to be careful!"
"Also, I trusted the system too much. I didn't expect the opponent to hide their strength. It was also during that naval battle that the opponent fled without a fight. It left such a deep impression that it led me to misjudge. I must not be so careless in the future!"
"This month-long voyage also yielded other gains. I discovered the system's limitations regarding skill advancement! Skill upgrades can't be fully completed at sea; they must be completed on land and grounded. I don't know why."
The Shark Pirates' inquiry arrived as expected. Thinking back to the original owner's memory, the Shark Pirates' strongest leader possessed a fifth-order Tyrant Body. This information seemed credible; it was a deliberate display of strength intended to gain Zhang Yue's submission.
Before the promotion, it would have been somewhat dangerous, but after last night's promotion, the strength of the fifth-level Tyrant Body was completely under his control. Therefore, Chen Mo could plan his strategy calmly. He answered the other party's question truthfully.
"Shark Pirates, if you want to be the fisherman, let's see if you have the ability to do so."
The current situation is like "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." Everyone has their own plans! It all depends on who has the last laugh.
As time went by, a fleet gradually appeared on the sea.
"Enemy attack!"
The lookout shouted a warning. Chen Mo looked at the shark skull logo on the canvas with his enhanced five senses, and his heart sank slightly.
"As expected, pirates are a bunch of thieves, completely devoid of integrity. They didn't even inform me of the spy's arrival time, and just showed up so abruptly. This is completely different from the last time we communicated and attacked him halfway. Haha, that's right, who would believe the words of a multifaceted spy? It's normal to be wary of each other. Just like me, I didn't give the other party all the information, and I concealed the key information."
Because it was discovered early, there was still time to respond. Xiaoyan, who stayed behind from the Jellyfish Pirates, had also apparently noticed the sudden appearance of the Shark Pirates and sent a flag signal, asking for her advice.
"Tell our allies that the enemy is too powerful. I suggest abandoning ship and entering the castle to find the captain and his men to join forces and prepare for a response."
Soon the flag bearer replied
"Fourth Master, the other party agreed."
Naturally, they agreed. According to the rules among pirates, no matter how brutal the Shark Pirates were, these ships would not be destroyed.
On a larger scale, this was a classic "save the people and lose the land" strategy; on a smaller scale, this was a common practice in pirate battles: after being defeated, they would abandon ship and land to defend themselves and increase their resistance.
The pirates quickly left the ship and entered the castle.
"Xiaoyan, you lead the way. I'll stay behind."
Xiaoyan didn't think too much about it and immediately led the pirates into an underground passage, and then disappeared into the passage.
"So it's here?! Xiaoyan really knew! This is the retreat route Zhuang Mei left for her. But Geng Bo didn't tell me. Does Geng Bo also have doubts about Zhang Yue?!"
"Haha, as expected, Zhang Yue's cultivation is still too shallow, and he's already exposed. The other three aren't easy to deal with. They're all foxes, thousand-year-old foxes. This is probably a hidden danger of the Octopus Tyrant's increased intelligence attribute. People who are too smart are always selfish, which is not conducive to unity."
After clearing the traces, Chen Mo entered the tunnel. A thought struck him: Why did this action feel so familiar? Didn't the defenders who attacked the castle make the same choice? The enemy was too powerful to be defeated, so they abandoned the castle and entered the underground tunnel to search for the main force.
"Tsk tsk... Why do I have this ominous feeling?! I'm not a pawn in this game, am I?! Haha, I've been in the game for a long time. Ever since the game system brought me to this world, I've been a pawn of the game system."
Chen Mo laughed at himself, and with a more determined look in his eyes, he entered the underground passage. The underground passage was like a monster's mouth. Chen Mo, like the pirates in front of him, was swallowed by the darkness of the underground passage.
…
At the same time, the Shark Pirates landed calmly.
"Boss, there are three fleets around us, and there are no people on them."
"Oh?! What a surprise! Zhang Yue's report doesn't contain any information about other forces?!"
"Boss, how can we trust the words of a scoundrel like Zhang Yue?! Fortunately, there is no location at this location. This is indeed Crescent Moon Island, an island as mysterious as White Mist Island. Otherwise, we would have come here for nothing."
The leader of the Shark Pirates shook his head. Zhang Yue had previously shown a resolute willingness to surrender. The intelligence he provided was complete and accurate. He never expected that, at this crucial moment, he would play this trick on him?! If he hadn't been persuaded by the Second Brother to go straight to the battle on Crescent Island, he wouldn't have known such a thing had happened.
Being deceived by Zhang Yue made the Shark leader very angry and said with a cruel smile
"Good, very good! You were fooled by Zhang Yue. Good, you are capable! You are indeed worthy of being the brother of Geng Bo, the 'Eight Brains'! You have a good brain! Let me see, your brain is better, or my fists! I will make you understand that in the face of strength, your brain is useless!"
"Boss, you're wise!" The second brother agreed loudly, feeling proud that he had finally "defeated" Zhang Yue. Otherwise, with the wisdom shown by Zhang Yue, after joining the Shark Pirates, he might replace him and become the think tank of the group.
As a former think tank who knows too many secrets, the final result is naturally self-evident.
He will be silenced!
For survival! He fought desperately, and indeed won.
"Zhang Yue, I didn't expect that you would be too clever and end up blocking your own escape route. You can't blame me for being cruel! I won't be at peace until you die!"
A group of Shark Pirates entered the castle.
"Boss, there's no one in the castle?!" Seeing the leader coming, the third brother stepped forward and answered
"No one? Is there anything we can do? Search for them! Look carefully. They must be in this castle!"
"Yes, Boss."
An hour later
"Boss, I found it! Here, there's an underground passage." If you want to chat about "I Created a Wizard" with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to read novels, chat about life, and find confidants.
