"Come back! Come back!"
Cai Jinwu was unwilling to give up, and used all his strength to roar at those deep-sea hunters, trying to call them back with his familiar voice and mental connection.
However, the only response he got was the deep-sea hunters impatiently swinging their huge tails, stirring up waves, as if to say.
Why are you arguing? Can’t you see I’m living a good life now?
They didn't even bother to look at Cai Jinwu.
"Plop!" A beast trainer who was loyal to Cai Jinwu fainted because his mental connection was completely severed and the cruel reality before him was so shocking that his mind was shocked.
Cai Jinwu couldn't hold on any longer after watching this scene. His body swayed and he barely managed to stand steady by holding onto the railing.
His face was pale and his eyes were empty, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
It’s over… It’s all over…
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointing at Lu Ye in the distance. His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. Finally, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, which were filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.
"Lu Ye...just wait for me...I...I will definitely make you...pay the price!!"
Lu Ye sneered at Cai Jinwu's angry curse, as if he had heard a huge joke.
He lazily raised a finger and pointed at the huge system ranking list in the air, with a playful arc at the corner of his mouth.
"The price? Boss Cai, you don't have to wait until later, you can see it now."
Cai Jinwu suddenly looked up in the direction of Lu Ye's finger. When he saw the glaring changes in the scoreboard, the fishy sweetness that he had just barely suppressed surged into his throat again.
His "Wu Di" has been firmly surpassed by that little bastard's "Lucky Guy" in points, and the gap is widening at a speed visible to the naked eye!
He was originally far ahead, but now he has become a follower!
Cai Jinwu spat on the deck, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his neck were knotted like an earthworm about to burst.
"Everyone, get moving! Kill monsters! Earn points! Anyone who dares to slack off will be thrown to the sharks!"
However, with the loss of nearly half of its elite deep-sea hunters, the hunting efficiency of the "Wu Di" plummeted.
Without sufficient hunters to suppress them, those native sea monsters became increasingly ferocious and difficult to deal with.
For a time, although the sea area near the "Emperor Wu" was still bloody, the points were increasing at a snail's pace, in stark contrast to the devastating harvesting speed of the "Lucky Man".
There are no fish, the efficiency is so low!
Cai Jinwu cursed in his heart, feeling as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
His scarlet gaze quickly turned to the shivering new players on the ship.
These poor fellows thought they could get protection by joining the "Emperor Wu", but they didn't expect that they would become cannon fodder in the blink of an eye. Now they have become tools for Cai Jinwu to vent his anger and make up for his losses.
"You guys!" Cai Jinwu's voice was like a cold wind blowing from the underworld, pointing at the small broken boats that were cautiously following the "Emperor Wu".
"Don't play dead! Before the end of this round of 'Bloody Hunting Grounds', every ship must contribute at least 500 points to me! If you can't, jump in and feed the fish! I mean what I say!"
The faces of those new players turned pale, they cried out in their hearts, and they regretted it to the core.
If I had known that the "Wu Di" was such a cruel den of evil, I would never have chosen to join it just for that little bit of shelter and supplies.
Five hundred points? Isn't this going to kill us?
With so little money, we have to take a detour if we encounter any stronger sea monster!
A man with a scar on his face gritted his teeth, a trace of despair flashing in his eyes.
In the crowd, a man with a scorpion tattoo on his arm lowered his voice and complained to a relatively gentle-looking young man wearing thin-framed glasses next to him.
"This old dog Cai is simply not a human! I was so blind to follow him!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Brother Scorpion!" The young man with glasses glanced warily at Cai Jinwu's irritable back not far away, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes behind the lenses.
"What do we do now? We can't even get 500 points!"
There was a glint of ruthlessness in the scorpion man's eyes, and he gritted his teeth.
"Or... why don't we just find a chance, grab all the supplies we can take from the ship, and go join that Lu Ye? I see those fish under him are alive and kicking. Following him is definitely better than being cannon fodder here! We can even take some 'proof of our allegiance' with us!"
"No!" The young man with glasses immediately denied it in a decisive tone.
"It's too risky to act now. Look at Lu Ye, he's clearly at war with Cai Jinwu. If we go over now, he might not trust us 'traitors'. Besides..."
He glanced at the countdown on the system interface.
"There are still five hours left until this round of Easter Egg events ends. There's still plenty of time. Let's wait and see. Maybe there will be a turning point. Acting rashly will only lead to a faster death."
Upon hearing this, the ferocity on the Scorpion Man's face faded slightly, and he became more hesitant.
He knew that what the young man with glasses said made sense. In this cannibalistic game, impulse is the devil.
Time passed minute by minute, and the fighting on the sea never stopped.
On the system ranking list, Lu Ye's "Lucky Guy" was far ahead in points, having left the second-place "Emperor Wu" behind by more than one-third, firmly occupying the top spot. The astonishing number was frightening to see.
Cai Jinwu looked at the despairing gap, and the anger in his heart was gradually replaced by a feeling of powerlessness.
He knew that there was no hope of getting first place.
"Forget it," he sighed, feeling somewhat dejected, but still forcing himself to comfort himself.
"At least I can still hold onto second place. As long as I'm not last, the system won't reclaim all my supplies, and I'll even get a share of the loser's inheritance. As long as I still have the ship and the men, I'll be able to get my place back sooner or later!"
Yes, as long as I can maintain the second place, I still have the capital to turn the tables!
Lu Ye, just wait for me!
At the same time, on the "Lucky One", Lu Ye did not relax at all because of his temporary lead.
He glanced at the rankings, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then turned to Qin He and Liao Qingyue beside him.
"Brother Qin, Miss Liao," Lu Ye spoke in a low voice, but his voice revealed an unquestionable confidence.
"Are you interested in taking over second and third place as well? So that some people won't get anything?"
When Liao Qingyue heard this, a glimmer of excitement flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Her "Fei Yang" currently ranks third in points, second only to Cai Jinwu's "Wu Di".
"Are you serious, Boss Lu?" She raised her red lips slightly, with a hint of eagerness to try.
"I've long disliked that old dog Cai! If I could push him out of the top three, I'd be delighted! If necessary, I can give you some points first to ensure your first place is more secure!"
