The players who once clamored to divide up the land and field supplies are now silent.
Especially Yuwen Liang, his face was pale and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.
When it comes to offending Lu Ye, Yu Wenliang is definitely on the list, and he ranks among the top!
Before, he was able to maintain his composure by relying on the strength of numbers and the overall strength of Area B.
But now…
Looking at Lu Ye who was descending like a god or demon, and the giant whale boss that was powerful enough to destroy everything, Yu Wenliang felt his legs go weak, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
I'm completely screwed! I'm really in big trouble this time!
Amidst the chaos and wailing, Lu Ye seemed unusually calm.
He stood on the deck of the Genesis and gently brushed off the non-existent dust on the corner of his clothes, as if the devastating scene just now had nothing to do with him.
He turned his head and gave instructions to a heroic female crew member beside him who was dressed in combat uniform.
"Su Baiyue, send a few sailors to fish Xiao Litian out."
The corners of Lu Ye's mouth curled up in a meaningful arc.
"It just so happens that I have some 'small questions' that I'd like to consult the captain of the Viper."
Su Baiyue took the order, and soon, several sailors dragged Xiao Litian, who was like a dead dog, out of the cold sea water and threw him onto the cold deck of the Genesis without any hesitation.
“Cough…cough cough!”
Xiao Litian curled up his body and coughed violently, salty sea water mixed with blood foam pouring out of his mouth and nose.
He was soaked all over, his face was as pale as paper, and the wound on his forehead was still oozing blood, which mixed with the sea water. He looked extremely miserable.
He felt like his bones were about to fall apart, and every breath caused severe pain in his chest.
This time it's really over...
The shadow of death, like the huge body of the ancient giant whale, completely enveloped him.
He had even begun to think about what his last words should be, although he knew very well that the evil star before him would never be kind enough to help him deliver them.
He raised his eyelids with difficulty and looked at the man standing not far away, whose figure seemed a little blurry under the swaying emergency light - Lu Ye.
His calm demeanor formed a sharp contrast with the wailing and chaos of the surrounding players in Area B, making him seem even more unfathomable, like a god dominating everything.
Just when Xiao Litian thought that Lu Ye would kill him like crushing an ant, Lu Ye unexpectedly spoke.
"Those deep-sea fish of yours aren't just ordinary war beasts, are they? Tell me, how did you tame them?"
Um?
Xiao Litian was stunned, and a barely perceptible gleam of light flashed in his dilated pupils.
He wants to know how I tame deep-sea fish?
The instinct for survival instantly overwhelmed the despair of dying.
He is not a fool. Since Lu Ye asked, it means that this method is valuable to him!
Where there is value, there is room for negotiation!
"Ahem... do you want to know?" Xiao Litian forced a hoarse smile, his voice weak but with a barely perceptible cunning.
"It's not impossible... but you have to... ahem... show some sincerity, right?"
He tried to sit up, trying to gain some negotiating posture for himself, even if it was only psychological.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Xiao Litian who seemed to want to bargain even when he was about to die, and the meaningful arc at the corner of his mouth became even more pronounced.
The next second, without waiting for Xiao Litian to say another word.
"Bang!"
Lu Ye raised his foot without any warning and kicked Xiao Litian hard in the chest!
“Ugh—!”
Xiao Litian was like being hit head-on by a battering ram. He slid back several meters. His already broken body suffered another severe blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his vision instantly went black.
"Sincerity?" Lu Ye walked forward slowly, looking down at Xiao Litian, who was curled up on the ground with even his breathing becoming weak, and his voice was icy cold.
"My sincerity is that you spill everything you know right now. Otherwise, I don't mind letting the giant whale taste the difference between the flesh of a level six captain and ordinary bait."
He tapped the deck lightly with his toes, as if considering where to start.
That cold tone and that emotionless look made Xiao Litian shudder from the bottom of his heart.
This Lu Ye is simply a madman who doesn't play by the rules!
He finally faced reality. In the face of absolute force and that massive whale capable of blasting a dungeon, he was no better than an ant. What bargaining chip could he possibly have?
"I said..." Xiao Litian gasped violently, no longer daring to have any luck, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"It's because of my profession... Beast Tamer... but I awakened a special branch... Dark Taming..."
He took a breath and continued to explain with difficulty.
"I can forcibly transform certain dark creatures... into my war beasts... Those deep-sea fish were originally dark creatures of this sea area... and I transformed them."
"But this kind of transformation...each time consumes a huge amount of energy...At my current level as a tamer...I can only transform a maximum of three per day..."
Xiao Litian's face was full of resentment and pain, because that was his best kept secret.
Hearing this, Lu Ye touched his chin, thinking about something.
Three a day?
He recalled the list of supplies he had looted from Xiao Litian's lair, "Viper's Kiss", as well as the deep-sea fish that were crushed by the aftermath of Abisar and the firepower of Genesis in that battle. A rough calculation showed that there were at least nearly a hundred of them.
No wonder he was so furious earlier, like his father had died. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to amass such a fortune.
Lu Ye showed a "kind" smile on his face. He squatted down and gently patted Xiao Litian's bloody shoulder. His movements were as gentle as if he was comforting a frightened kitten.
"I see. Thank you for your hard work. However, your efficiency is too low." He said in a gentle tone.
"How about this, I think you're a talented person, why don't I help you level up?"
Xiao Litian was startled by Lu Ye's sudden "friendliness" and almost fainted.
Help me level up? A weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, with no good intentions! Is he... is he going to draw his sword any second?!
His eyes were filled with suspicion and vigilance, and even a hint of anger at being played with.
This guy is definitely playing cat and mouse!
However, Lu Ye really seems to be just "kind-hearted".
He flipped his wrist, and a dozen scrolls flashing with different lights appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"Here, these skill upgrade scrolls should be enough for you to raise your tamer level." Lu Ye casually threw the scrolls in front of Xiao Litian as if he were throwing away some waste paper.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm always willing to help others."
Xiao Litian's eyes widened as he looked at the skill scrolls scattered in front of him, emitting tempting energy fluctuations.
Is this true?! So many high-level skill scrolls?!
