Shen Jue frowned slightly and pressed, "That's all? You've been roaming this sea for years, how could you not know more? You'd better not try anything funny."
The pirate captain, with a bitter face, quickly said, "Grandma, I really didn't hide anything. This miraculous medicine is extremely rare, and we only found out about it by asking around."
Shen Jue snorted coldly and glanced at the other pirates. The pirates lowered their heads and dared not meet her gaze.
"And you? If anyone can provide useful information, I might consider a lighter sentence." Shen Jue's voice echoed in the silent air.
At this moment, a small pirate stepped forward, trembling, and whispered, "I...I heard that there is an 'Ice Heart Snow Lotus' in the Abyss of Extreme Cold, but that place is fraught with danger and has powerful guardian beasts."
Shen Jue's heart stirred, and she noted the information down. She looked at the group of pirates before her, pondering how to deal with them.
A moment later, Shen Jue's lips curled into a cold smile: "You're all so useless, keeping you around is just a waste of food. However, considering you provided me with information, I'll give you a chance to live."
The pirates looked up, a glimmer of hope in their eyes. Shen Jue continued, "From now on, you will be cultivating the land on this island. Don't even think about running away. Your every move is under my control."
The pirates looked at each other, unwilling but not daring to resist.
Shen Jue secretly planted a mental imprint on them. Once these pirates had any thought of resistance, the mental imprint would make them wish they were dead.
The pirates who had been branded with the mental mark felt a powerful force surge into their bodies, as if their abilities were bound by an invisible shackle, making them unable to use them freely.
"This...Grandma, what have you done to us?" the pirate captain asked in terror.
Shen Jue said calmly, "Don't worry, as long as you work honestly, I won't treat you unfairly. If you dare to have any disloyal thoughts, your fate will be just as miserable as that stone just now."
The pirates glanced at Shen Jue and with a flick of his hand, instantly turned the rock, which was as tall as them, into dust.
I was deeply shocked!
Aaaaaah!
With your strength, why are you pretending to be weak!
No matter how frantic the pirates were, they had to admit the fact that they had become prisoners of war, and their lives were in the hands of the enemy.
Looking at this vast island, the pirates couldn't help but wonder if this man would treat his prisoners well. If he did, they might be willing to abandon their evil ways and join the light.
After all, who would want to be a pirate if they could have a fixed place to live?
Shen Jue could roughly sense what the pirates were thinking.
They then lifted the pirate captain's immobilization spell.
The pirate captain stretched his body, and although he was filled with resentment, he could only lower his head helplessly.
"We'll do whatever you say, Grandma. We'll definitely do our best to help you."
Seeing this free labor, a smile finally appeared on Shen Jue's face.
"Don't worry, now that you've surrendered to me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. I treat prisoners of war the best!"
Looking at Shen Jue's smile, the pirates felt a chill in their hearts for some reason.
Next, Shen Jie led the pirates, divided them into areas, and let them take their own tools to clear the land.
As Shen Jue watched the pirates begin to busy themselves on the island, he secretly plotted his next move.
With the help of these pirates, she would have more time to search for those miraculous medicines and improve her strength.
"Lili, I'm leaving these people on the island in your care. When I return, I hope they'll have taken care of the area I want."
On this trip, she must obtain both the Blazing Flame Spirit Fruit and the Azure Sea Mermaid's Tears!
