At the pirate leader's command, the pirates swarmed forward like wolves, attempting to break through the barrier.
Shen Jue hid behind the barrier, his eyes sharp, quickly analyzing the situation.
With a thought, she summoned Qingfeng. Qingfeng roared to the sky, its dragon scales shimmering with an eerie light, its massive body coiling in mid-air to hold off the pirates on the left flank.
"Hmph, if you want to break the barrier, you'll have to get past me first!" Qingfeng's dragon whiskers danced, and he opened his mouth to spew out gusts of biting cold wind, instantly making the pirates near the left flank tremble with cold.
The pirates, their noses running from the cold, remained fierce. One bearded pirate brandished his broadsword and shouted, "Don't be intimidated by this beast! Use fireballs to melt this ice!" Instantly, flames soared into the sky on the left flank, and the ice sizzled under the intense heat.
At the same time, Li Li also took flight, taking charge of the right wing.
She was surrounded by flames, like a burning meteor charging into the enemy ranks. The pirates on the right flank, seeing the situation was dire, quickly raised their shields to defend themselves.
A one-eyed pirate yelled, "This bird thing is tough to deal with! Everyone, concentrate your fire and don't let it get close!"
Lili smiled slyly, flapped her wings, and flames surged toward the pirates like waves.
"Trying to hide? Not so easy!" The pirates screamed as they were burned, their shields becoming scorching hot and slipping from their hands.
Ball Ball was in charge of the rear; it was like a bouncy ball, rampaging through the pirate horde.
The pirates behind were knocked off their feet. One skinny pirate clutched his stomach and cried out, "What is this thing? It's like a lump of iron! It knocked my internal organs out of place!"
Black Dragon was in charge of the front, and he also transformed into his original form. Every strike he made carried immense power, forcing the pirates in front of him to retreat steadily.
However, the pirates were no pushovers either. The pirate captain, standing on high ground, directed: "Everyone, don't panic! Split into small teams and attack in shifts to wear them down!"
As a card maker, Shen Jue was naturally not idle either. Cards flew in her hands, and various skills were constantly being released.
A "Mist Card" was thrown out, and instantly a thick fog filled the island, causing the pirates to lose their way.
"What the hell is this thing? Why can't I see anything all of a sudden?!"
The pirates shouted in panic through the fog. Taking advantage of the situation, Shen Jue threw out the "Slow Card" again, and many pirates felt as if their legs were filled with lead, and their movements became extremely slow.
Seeing the situation was dire, the pirate captain frowned and shouted, "Don't panic! This must be the card maker's doing! Everyone, spread out and search. If we find her, we win!"
The pirates feigned composure and cautiously made their way through the fog.
Shen Jue seized the opportunity and coordinated with his companions. Taking advantage of the pirates' slowed movements, Qing Feng used his dragon claw to grab a few and throw them into the distance.
Lili then located the pirates' gathering point in the fog, and suddenly swooped down, instantly engulfing a patch of flames.
Ball rolled nimbly through the fog, constantly knocking away lone pirates. Black Dragon was even more devastating, slaughtering pirates wherever he went.
After a fierce battle, the pirates gradually became exhausted. Shen Jue spotted the leader and sent out a "freeze card," which froze the leading pirate in place.
"You...you dare!" The pirate captain's eyes widened, but he couldn't move.
Without their commander, the pirates were thrown into disarray and surrendered one after another.
Shen Jue dispelled the mist, looked at the group of disheveled pirates before him, and laughed, "Trying to steal my divine medicine?"
The pirates lowered their heads, shook their heads frantically, and dared not utter a sound.
And so, the once-arrogant Black Shark Pirates became Shen Jue's prisoners.
Looking at the group of pirates, Shen Jue had an idea in mind. Perhaps he could get them to help him find the remaining medicinal herbs.
...
Shen Jue slowly walked up to the immobilized pirate captain, looking down at him with a cold glint in his eyes: "Tell me, what other divine medicines do you know the whereabouts of? Don't try to hide it, your lives are in my hands now."
The pirate captain gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment, but under the intimidation of Shen Jue, he still spoke up: "Grandma, we've only heard that there are a few 'Rejuvenating Herbs' in the nearby waters that can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, but we don't know exactly where they are."
Oh, and there's the 'Dream Amethyst Flower,' which I've heard grows on a mysterious island shrouded in mist, but no one knows where that island is.
