"Cough cough..." Li Yuntian forced himself to suppress the fishy and sweet taste in his throat, coughed twice, trying to save face, but his voice trembled unconsciously.
"Everyone...everyone, don't be fooled by appearances! Maybe...maybe it's just luck! Yes! It must be luck! Besides, who knows if communicating with monsters is real? Even if we can communicate, if we anger those big guys, we'll die even faster!"
He was still trying to force an explanation, but the captains had lost their patience.
One of the taller captains raised his head with a formal smile on his face, but his tone was very distant:
"Boss Li, what you said makes sense. However, we have some urgent matters to attend to here, so we have to leave first. As for the cooperation...we can discuss it in detail next time, next time, next time for sure."
"Yes, yes, yes, I suddenly remembered that there is still a batch of supplies that have not been salvaged. Excuse me, Boss Li!" The other captain also hurriedly agreed, not even daring to look at Li Yuntian.
They say next time, but their actions are extremely honest.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately ordered his men to turn the boat around, and the direction... was surprisingly towards the area where the Breaking Waves was!
Even a fool can see who is the real big shot worth relying on at this time!
What "Anti-Land and Field Alliance" is? It's a joke in front of the halo of "Star of Tomorrow" and the absolute strength of the fifth-level vehicle!
In the blink of an eye, the few ships that had been surrounding the Shark Hunter had left, leaving only Li Yuntian and his core subordinates looking at each other in bewilderment, lying in disarray in the sea breeze.
"Bang!"
Li Yuntian could no longer suppress his inner rage and kicked the railing of the ship hard, making a harsh sound of metal twisting.
His chest heaved violently, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face looked hideous.
"A bunch of ungrateful wolves!" He gritted his teeth, the sound seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Did you see it?! Did you see it?! This Lu Ye! He definitely did it on purpose! He was coming for me! From the very beginning! He wanted to kill me!"
On the deck, the sea breeze howled, sweeping up the violent aura from Li Yuntian that was almost condensed into substance.
His chest heaved violently, his eyes were red, and like a trapped beast that was completely enraged, he stared at the Breakers in the distance, the ship that was currently attracting everyone's attention.
"Lu Ye... Lu Ye!!" He almost squeezed out the name from between his teeth, and every syllable was filled with deep hatred.
It's him again! It's always him! Stealing my limelight! Taking away my resources! Now even the people I worked so hard to win over...
At this moment, a slightly thin man with a sinister look in his eyes came up quickly. It was one of his core members, Fu Bocheng.
"Boss Li, calm down!" Fu Bocheng lowered his voice with a hint of flattery.
"It's not worth getting angry over such a villain! Lu Ye may be feeling proud now, but the higher he climbs, the harder he'll fall! I have a way... to teach him a lesson he'll never forget!"
Huh? Li Yuntian whipped his head around, his crimson eyes fixed on Fu Bocheng's face, scrutinizing him with a final glimmer of hope. "Do you have a solution? What is it?" He was like a drowning man, grasping at any straw.
Fu Bocheng's lips curled up into a sinister smile, with a hint of complacency.
"Boss, have you forgotten my job?" He patted his chest.
"'Beast Tamer'! Although my level is still low and there are many limitations, I still have some skills in dealing with some... 'special' sea creatures!"
Humph, you always think my abilities are useless, but now you know they're useful, right? This is my chance to turn things around!
Li Yuntian's eyes suddenly lit up.
He suddenly grabbed Fu Bocheng's shoulders with such force that the latter frowned slightly, but he forced a more flattering smile on his face.
"Beast Tamer...Yes! Beast Tamer!"
Li Yuntian's voice was filled with suppressed excitement, and he patted Fu Bocheng's shoulder hard.
"Good! Good! Bocheng, I knew you were capable! You are worthy of being my Li Yuntian's right-hand man!"
He leaned closer to Fu Bocheng, lowered his voice, and his tone was full of temptation.
"As long as you can give that Lu guy a hard time, from now on, you'll be the one calling the shots on this Shark Hunter, except for me! I, Li Yuntian, always keep my word!"
The huge temptation was like a strong medicine, instantly injected into Fu Bocheng's body.
This is the second-in-command position!
He straightened his back, ambition glittering in his eyes, and patted his chest to make a promise.
"Boss Li, just wait and see! I promise that Lu Ye and his boat will be eaten alive! I'll let him know the consequences of offending you!"
After saying that, Fu Bocheng no longer hesitated, walked to the side of the ship, took out a sharp dagger, and cut a gash in the palm of his hand without hesitation!
Bright red blood dripped into the surging sea water below and quickly spread.
He was muttering something, as if chanting some obscure syllables, while a strange spiritual wave spread out from him.
A moment later, the sea water below began to churn violently, even more turbulent than before!
Immediately afterwards, five huge and dark shadows slowly emerged from the deep sea!
They were five enormous squids! Their bodies were as black as ink, with only a few strange fluorescent spots swimming beneath their skin. Their eight thick tentacles stirred the seawater like pythons, and their tips were covered with sharp suckers and barbs, emitting a terrifying aura of danger.
"Hehe..." Fu Bocheng showed a hint of morbid excitement on his face, and his explanation to Li Yuntian seemed more like showing off.
"Boss, look! That's a 'Deep Sea Ghost Octopus'! A true deep-sea monster! They usually lurk in the dark, rarely surfacing. In this game, their attack power is absolutely top-tier! Don't be fooled by the fact there are only five of them; their combined power is enough to drag an unsuspecting tier 3 or 4 ship directly to the seabed and crush it!"
Li Yuntian looked at the five deep-sea monsters that exuded a terrifying aura, and the anger in his heart found an outlet.
He seemed to have seen the Breaking Waves being torn apart and Lu Ye sinking to the bottom of the sea in despair!
"Good! Great! Bocheng! Well done!"
Li Yuntian laughed out loud, and all the previous dejection and anger disappeared, leaving only the ecstasy of impending revenge.
"Use them! Hit him hard! Destroy the power system of Lu Ye's broken ship! I'll see how he can still be so arrogant! I'll see how he can escape!"
A cruel light flashed in Fu Bocheng's eyes. He concentrated his mental strength and gave orders to the five deep-sea ghost octopuses.
"Go! Find that ship! Chew up its propeller! Wrap up its engine! Turn it into a pile of scrap metal!"
The five giant squids received the order and dived silently into the deeper water, swimming towards the Breaking Wave at high speed, leaving only a few fleeting undercurrent whirlpools on the sea surface.
