Li Yuntian's doubts grew deeper and deeper. He subconsciously opened his address book and contacted a captain with whom he had some acquaintance. The captain's ship was also among the followers.
"Old Wang, what's wrong with you? Why are you following that kid Lu Ye around? Don't you know he's the best at being mysterious?"
Li Yuntian's tone was questioning.
Unexpectedly, what came from the other end of the communicator was Lao Wang's voice that was so frightened that it changed its tone.
"Li... Boss Li! Stop talking! Run! There's a monster! The real monster is coming out! Boss Lu is leading us to escape!"
"Monster?" Li Yuntian sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
"This sea area was so peaceful before, how many people came here to take advantage? Isn't it because it's relatively safe here? Have you all been deceived by that kid Lu Ye? He must have discovered some exclusive resources and wants to get rid of you and keep them all for himself!"
He tried to win over Lao Wang: "Lao Wang, listen to me, don't run around with him. Let's join forces and share the resources here. Isn't that wonderful?"
"No...no! Boss Li, you don't know...that thing...is too scary!" Lao Wang's voice was filled with tears. He was obviously scared and could not listen to Li Yuntian's instigation at all.
He seemed to want to explain something, but he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Li Yuntian called again, and the prompt tone sounded coldly:
"The user you are calling has blacklisted you."
"You ungrateful waste!" Li Yuntian was furious and threw the communicator hard on the deck.
You're such a good fellow, Lu Ye! Not only did you steal my limelight, but you even dared to incite my people to rebel!
His eyes rolled, and the sinister thought emerged again.
He immediately sent a message to a small group of captains he was familiar with.
"Everyone, this is an emergency! I suspect Lu Ye has used some special ability that can affect the mind! Lao Wang and the others were clearly bewitched, and that's why they abandoned this safe zone and the readily available supplies and followed him to their deaths!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the group exploded.
"What? A skill that can bewitch people?!"
"I told you! The sea is calm here, and there's so much 'seafood' to pick up, only a fool would leave!"
"That's right! There's definitely something fishy about that kid Lu Ye! He's definitely trying to trick us away so he can take all the hidden treasures in this area for himself!"
Many players and captains who were already jealous of or distrustful of Lu Ye were immediately stirred up by Li Yuntian's words. In their view, the immediate benefits were far more real than the illusory dangers.
What's more, some even issued direct provocations on regional public channels.
`[Regional Channel] Captain of the Tietouwa: Lu Ye! I don't care what tricks you play! Stop your stupid escape immediately! We were the first to discover this sea area! If you dare to take all the benefits for yourself, don't blame us for being rude! `
`[Regional Channel] Follower A: Yes! Lu Ye must have a conspiracy! Don't be fooled by him! `
`[Regional Channel] Anonymous player: Is the Wavebreaker so great? Do you really think you are the king of the sea? If you want to leave, leave by yourself. Don't try to play us like fools! `
The clamor and questioning in the regional channel were like a swarm of flies buzzing around Lu Ye's ears.
His brows were furrowed, and a hint of impatience flashed across his eyes.
Are these idiots' brains filled with sponges or water? They're still fighting among themselves even when facing death!
"Attention everyone!" Lu Ye activated the long-distance communication system that had been enhanced by Qin He's "Instrument Mastery". The sound directly drowned out the noise of the regional channel and was clearly transmitted to every ship that had opened the advanced communication channel.
"The Wavebreaker's radar system just picked up a clear signal: a massive creature is rapidly rising! Expected to reach the sea surface in fifteen minutes! The target area is this damned sea beneath our feet!"
He paused, his tone cold as ice.
"The only way to survive is to rush to the edge of the ice at coordinates XXX within half an hour! The water there is shallow, which might disrupt its movement patterns and give us a chance of survival! Believe it or not, that's all I have to say!"
"The edge of the ice?" Li Yuntian's voice interrupted sharply, with undisguised sarcasm.
"Hahaha! Lu Ye, do you think we're all three-year-olds? The view there is wide, and if we get close, our ship's maneuverability will be greatly reduced. Wouldn't we become sitting ducks for your Breaking Waves? Everyone knows that you, Lu Ye, have powerful ships and cannons, and you even have the hidden card of 'Tomorrow's Light'!"
He changed the subject, his voice full of temptation.
"Everyone, don't be fooled by him! He's definitely trying to lure us over there, then capture us all and take all the 'Behemoth Legacy' that might have appeared in this area! He's sharing 'secrets'? I think he's trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife, or rather, to use the 'Behemoth' to kill someone. If we die, all the supplies will be his!"
At this moment, a modified fishing boat with a scratched hull and a crooked mast, which had obviously experienced a hard battle, rushed out from the water mist behind in a panic. A gloomy-faced young man at the bow echoed loudly.
"Boss Li is absolutely right! I, Gu Shen, can attest to that! Lu Ye is a vindictive and scheming man! Back in the Novice Sea, he even tricked us brothers!"
There was a gleam of resentment in Gu Shen's eyes.
"If he really had such sophisticated radar that could predict danger, he would have quietly made a fortune or run away. Why would he be so 'kind' as to announce it to everyone? Unless... he has other motives! For example, he wants us to be cannon fodder, to scout the way for him, or to drain the energy of that 'behemoth'!"
Gu Shen? Did this guy also escape to this sea area?
It's really haunting.
Lu Ye curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, and he no longer had any hope for the stupidity and greed of these people.
He felt his temples throbbing and a surge of inexplicable anger rushed to his forehead.
It was a rare occasion for him to show kindness, but he was treated like a donkey's liver and lungs!
Okay, if you have the guts, just wait here to die!
"Su Baiyue!" Lu Ye turned around abruptly and shouted towards the cockpit.
"Engine overload, warp engine preheating, speed up to the limit! Target, the edge of the ice! We don't care about these idiots!"
"Got it, Brother Lu!" A crisp and capable female voice came from the cockpit. It was Su Baiyue, the exclusive helmsman of the Breaking Waves.
The hull of the Wavebreaker emitted a strange humming sound, and a faint blue flame spurted out from the stern. The entire ship seemed to teleport, turning into an afterimage, tearing through the night sky and rushing towards the distance!
"Look! Look! Lu Ye ran away!"
Upon seeing this, Li Yuntian was stunned at first, then burst into almost insane laughter, and immediately spread the news on the regional channel.
"Hahaha! Did everyone see that? Lu Ye is guilty! We exposed his conspiracy, so he ran away with his tail between his legs! What giant beast? I think it's just a lie he made up to scare people!"
