282. Chapter 282: The Black Dragon Pirate Group Arrives in Pursuit

Long Xuan and the others disembarked, yet no villain came to cause trouble.

Although most people from distant regions did not know of his heaven-defying deeds, and many mocked his small ship, despite the laughter, not a single person actually came up to cause trouble.

Not many people are fools; since this ship could cross the Endless Sea Region unscathed, that was sufficient proof of its terrifying strength, so how could anyone dare to court disaster by approaching?

Long Xuan thus found a spot by the shore to set up camp; according to Leng Yan, Sky Island would not emerge for about another month, so he needed to stay on this island for a long time.

Seeing that the Gu Cultivators from other regions were idle and bored, they all ran to the shore to fish.

At this moment, Long Xuan also became interested; he took out a fishing rod, found a spot by the shore, and began fishing as well.

To obtain the spirit fish of this sea region, one could only use a fishing rod, because under the influence of the powerful gravity, no Gu Cultivator could enter the sea.

Of course, he still had a fishing rod; the Long Family often held fishing competitions, and he had once been forcibly dragged by Long Qilin to participate, where Long Qilin insisted on betting with him on who could catch more fish and who could catch bigger fish.

Unsurprisingly, he had won overwhelmingly at that time.

This was because when he fished, he could actually see the progress; once the progress bar was full, the fish would take the bait, which was simply absurd.

With such an ability, who could compete with him in fishing? In that fishing competition, he tearfully took first place, and Long Qilin had never won a single bet against him.

In a flash, half a month passed.

At this moment by the shore, Long Xuan gave his fishing rod a gentle lift, and a plump, large golden fish flew onto the land, landing precisely inside the spirit fish bag Long Xuan had prepared long ago.

"Captain, you are truly miraculous; that fish is a Golden Marrow Fish, unique to this sea region. Eating it can greatly increase physical strength, and it is extremely difficult to catch."

"To date, you seem to be the only awesome person on the entire island who has caught a Golden Marrow Fish," Shangguan Wuwo said, giving a thumbs-up with great excitement.

This captain was simply miraculous; in these half a month, he did not know how many fish he had caught, nor how many rare species he had landed, leaving everyone else green with envy.

The fishing efficiency of the others on the island was dozens of times lower than his, simply incomparable; no one knew how he managed it, and whenever asked, he just claimed it was due to good luck, leaving those who came to steal his techniques helpless.

However, most of the fish he caught ended up in his pot, as he was the chef, improving the meals for the crew.

"Is that so? Since this fish is so precious, then it cannot be eaten; I must keep it to breed offspring."

Long Xuan smiled, luxuriously hanging a Lower Grade Spirit Insect on the hook, then gave it a gentle flick, casting the hook far out into the sea surface.

Seeing that the progress displayed on the fish hook was extremely, extremely long, Long Xuan frowned, quickly stood up, used Treading Stars to switch to a farther location, and then cast the hook far away.

Seeing that the progress displayed on the fish hook this time was extremely short, Long Xuan smiled and slowly sat on the ground to wait patiently.

Shangguan Wuwo was stunned; what did this mean? Was the previous spot too hot to stand on? Does fishing require casting here and then there?

He had never seen anyone change spots so frequently while fishing; could he be worried that the fish in this spot had been fished out? He was simply an oddball.

However, just as he was thinking this, Long Xuan gave his fishing rod another gentle lift, and yet another plump Golden Marrow Fish flew onto the shore.

The corners of Shangguan Wuwo's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

So he hurriedly picked up his stool, quickly changed to a different spot to fish, but as time ticked by and he sat there for a long time, waiting until the flowers were about to wither, he still failed to catch a single fish, and his expression turned bitter.

Long Xuan shook his head helplessly; if he hadn't changed spots just now, the progress would have been nearly 100%, and the fish would have bitten the hook immediately; how could he be so impatient?

The spot he changed to had extremely, extremely little progress in the water; little progress meant few fish, so casting the hook into waters with many fish naturally made it easier to catch them, which was obvious.

While thinking this, another small Golden Marrow Fish was caught by him.

Good heavens, he had practically caught the whole family of three.

Long Xuan stored this little one into the spirit fish bag; with a smile on his face, he was just about to cast his hook again when he suddenly saw Ye Qingluan running over in a panic.

"Captain! It's bad news! The Black Dragon Pirate Group has also arrived; they are already on the island."

"They have found out our location and are rushing over here with murderous intent."

"What?" Hearing this, Long Xuan was greatly shocked; no longer caring about fishing, he hurriedly stored the fishing rod into his Storage Ring.

The other hundred-plus crew members all changed color, hurriedly gathering together, their expressions filled with tension.

"Damn it! What the hell is there to fear? Spirit Sea Stage Gu Cultivators are prohibited from entering the Endless Sea Region; they are just a group of Essence Refining Stage Gu Cultivators. No matter how many come, I will kill them all!" Xiong Dali said with a violent temper.

"Do not be rash," Nie Qingcheng said with a grave expression: "We easily destroyed four of their ships before, so they already clearly understand our strength."

"Under such circumstances, they still dare to send a group of Essence Refining Stage Gu Cultivators to pursue and kill us; this clearly means they have found a method to deal with us. There must be a conspiracy behind this; we absolutely cannot be careless."

As they spoke, a group of people dressed in black clothes was already approaching with murderous intent.

Accompanying them was a large crowd of onlookers; having stayed on the island for so long, they were already bored out of their minds, and seeing that there was excitement to watch here, they all gathered around to see the show.

Cai Shao and the others, being closest to Long Xuan's group, naturally would not miss the chance to watch the drama, so they also crowded over to see the excitement.

Since their ship had the most people, once they walked over, they nearly surrounded the members of the Black Dragon Pirate Group.

"Heh, which group of blind fools dares to provoke that ruthless person capable of forcefully killing a Spirit Sea Stage Gu Cultivator? Isn't this just seeking death?"

Luo Hongchen looked at the backs of that group and sneered coldly.

Cai Shao curled the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I recognize them; it should be the famous Black Dragon Pirate Group. The strength of this pirate group is not weak; they have a full five hundred people, which is five times more than that ruthless person's manpower."

"No matter how good he is at fighting, can his crew fight as well?"

"Once these groups clash, I don't know if that ruthless person will die, but his crew will surely suffer heavy casualties."

"Now there's a good show to watch; I want to see just how strong the combat power of this ruthless person, who can forcefully kill a Spirit Sea Stage Gu Cultivator, really is," Cai Shao said with great interest.

At this moment, Long Xuan finally saw clearly the number of people in this group; upon seeing that there were a full five hundred of them, his frown deepened even more.

Their numbers exceeded his own side by a full five times; once these five hundred people charged over, he might be fine, but the good people behind him on this ship would likely suffer heavy casualties.

He had worked so hard to find one hundred good people; he could not bear to lose a single one, as good people were rare creatures in this world, truly too difficult to find.

"Do not act impulsively; they must have come prepared. First, figure out what their trump card is. You talk more nonsense with them and lure them into revealing their trump card themselves," Nie Qingcheng transmitted to him via Soul Transmission at this moment.

Long Xuan ignored her words; even if he knew what their trump card was, what use would that be?

Even if they had no trump card, the combat power of these people was at a normal level, yet such a large number was still enough to cause heavy losses to his crew.

Figuring out exactly what conspiracy or trick they had was meaningless.

The best choice was simply not to fight them.

"Kid! Are you the captain of that ship?"

Scar glanced at the Divine Dragon Ship in the distance, then looked at the ship's flag hanging on it, and an disdainful smile appeared on his lips: "Still embroidering a damn dragon."

"In the presence of my Black Dragon Pirate Group, you dare to embroider a dragon? Truly, you do not know life from death."

Long Xuan forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart, smiled, and said, "That's right, I am indeed the Captain of that ship; could there be some misunderstanding between us?"

"How about this? We fight one-on-one in a duel; I assume none of you gentlemen would stoop to bullying the few with the many?"

Scar was so angry he laughed, his face smiling but not his flesh, as he said, "Who is going to duel you one-on-one? Do you take me for an idiot?"

"Do not try to pressure me with morality; I do not buy that stuff. This grandpa simply enjoys bullying the few with the many."

"Kill them all; leave not one alive!" As soon as Scar finished speaking, he immediately rushed forward with a sinister grin.

Long Xuan's face turned dark; weren't villains supposed to love idle chatter? Why did they start fighting after just one sentence, giving him no chance to use the Original Realm?

The Heavenly Mechanism Eye had finally succeeded in its Transformation a few days ago; he had intended to delay time with chatter to test the power of the Original Realm, but it seemed that plan had come to nothing.

Since it is so, do not blame me for using ruthless methods! He had not wanted to use this move in the first place.

Long Xuan's gaze condensed; he immediately placed his most ruthless Gu Worm on his shoulder and shouted loudly to the people around him:

"All onlookers listen well: one pirate's head can be exchanged for two Gathering Sea Pills, to be delivered within one year! Those who are slow get nothing!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar, and everyone revealed looks of greed.

What is the most tempting thing for a Gu Cultivator at the Cultivation Stage: Essence Refining? It is undoubtedly the Realm-Breaking Pill, which can be used to break through to the Spirit Sea Stage; this item holds a fatal allure for any Gu Cultivator at the Cultivation Stage: Essence Refining.

Killing one pirate yielded two Gathering Sea Pills; everyone was moved, and their eyes began to flicker.

At first, no one believed these words; there were fully five hundred pirates here, so who could possibly have that many Realm-Breaking Pills? Did he really take them for fools to be duped?

But upon seeing an Honesty Gu sitting on this person's shoulder, and noting that the Honesty Gu showed no reaction after he spoke these words, everyone was stunned.

No reaction from the Honesty Gu meant that what he had said was true; he truly could produce that many Gathering Sea Pills within a year.

At this moment, the breathing of all the onlookers became rapid; their eyes flashed with greed as they viewed the heads of the Black Dragon Pirate Group like walking Realm-Breaking Pills, and finally unable to hold back, they all rushed forward!

"Kill them! Eliminating pirates is everyone's responsibility! We must act on behalf of Heaven!"

In the next instant, the left wing, right wing, and rear of the Black Dragon Pirate Group instantly fell into chaos.

All the onlookers had, at the same time, chosen to attack the Black Dragon Pirate Group.

Wasn't the number of Gu Cultivators here more than ten times greater than the number of people in the Black Dragon Pirate Group?

Once they joined the fray, how could the pirates of the Black Dragon Pirate Group have any chance of victory? It was simply a bloody massacre.

The moment the two sides made contact, heads from the Black Dragon Pirate Group were chopped off in sheets, staining the earth with blood.

Every time a head fell to the ground, it was frantically snatched up by a crowd of Gu Cultivators; everyone's eyes turned red and glowed, as if those heads were priceless treasures.

At this moment, all the pirates looked completely bewildered.

You claim orally that eliminating pirates is everyone's responsibility and that you must act on behalf of Heaven, so why don't you go kill those Red Demon Pirates over there? What do you mean by focusing only on killing us? (End of Chapter)
