Chapter 2251: Black Sea King

~7 min read 1,383 words

The boy suffering from Red Crow Disease stood by the wooden table. He was severely malnourished, and standing by the table, only half his chest and head were visible.

This boy was not only malnourished, but his life force was also drying up. Just by looking at him, Su Xiao judged that something was parasitic in his body, most likely an extraordinary creature.

"Where is Terror Island?"

As soon as Su Xiao said this, the pirates within a few meters became quiet.

"That's a rumor, my lord. Terror Island doesn't exist at all."

"Then let's change the question. I'm very interested in the legends of gods at sea."

"This, is it Xixilile? Or the Ship of Death Bells? And..."

The boy was very talkative and told a bunch of legends about gods at sea. A moment later, he swallowed his saliva.

Su Xiao tossed a cup of gold coins to the boy. The boy ran quickly to the bar, and in a short while, he returned with a handful of gray-black silver coins, holding a large wine bottle in his arms.

"My lord, this is the remaining money."

The boy placed the handful of silver coins on the table, bit open the wooden cork of the wine bottle, and gulped down the strong liquor. He wasn't addicted to alcohol, but was using it to relieve the pain in his body.

"Hiccup~"

The boy, his small face slightly flushed, hiccuped and sat on the wooden stool opposite Su Xiao.

"You just said, the Evil God after sunset?"

"Hmm, the twilight's afterglow, the king of the night, the origin of despair... despair, cough, cough..."

The boy let out a dry cough. He felt his throat was very dry. At first, this feeling wasn't strong, but after coughing a few times, he felt as if there were knives cutting inside his throat.

"You, why are you all looking at me?"

The boy, having come to his senses, looked around. Except for the sleeping pirates, all other pirates had stood up and were trying their best to stay away from the boy.

"Get lost."

"The blood crow is about to bloom. Go, hurry up and go."

The pirates scrambled to escape the tavern.

Crack! A piece of the boy's cheek crumbled, and a blood vessel slowly stretched out. After this, it triggered a chain reaction.

"Has it already been three years? No... that's not right, there should still be half a year left. How could the blood crow flare up? This shouldn't be."

The boy's expression was somewhat terrified. He looked around. Except for Su Xiao, who was still sitting calmly opposite him, everyone else was fleeing outside.

Seeing this scene, the boy stood up, his body blooming like a flower. This was blood crow disease.

A moment later, all the pirates in the tavern had fled. The boy turned into a pile of black ash. Inside the black ash, a crow with dark red feathers shook its wings and flew toward the tavern entrance.

Sizzle~

Boundary-Breaking Line entangled the dark red crow and pulled it back forcibly.

A crystal layer wrapped around Su Xiao's hand. He grabbed the dark red crow and crushed it directly.

Blood dripped from Su Xiao's hand. Unfortunately, there was no aura of an Ancient God on this blood crow.

"Twilight's afterglow, king of the night."

Su Xiao muttered. He felt that this legend of sea creatures was the closest to an Ancient God, especially the phrase "origin of despair" that the boy hadn't finished saying.

"You, you, you damn bastard! You killed the blood crow. Black Sea King Agati is coming. The Black Sea King never leaves survivors."

The bartender roared tremblingly. He couldn't escape; even if he did, he would be hunted down.

Caw, caw, caw...

The crow's calls came from above through the roof. Hearing this sound, the bartender behind the bar placed his valuables on the bar, then tilted his head back and hit the bar with a bang, fainting.

Blood crows flew into the tavern one after another, landing around Su Xiao.

"Is it you who killed my seed?"

A voice that couldn't distinguish between male and female came from a blood crow's mouth. It stood on the wooden table in front of Su Xiao, its pitch-black eyes staring at him.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I only got half the information after paying."

"So that's it. However... killing my seed cannot be let go like this."

"I'm right here waiting for you. If you have the guts, come."

"..."

The blood crow's owner was silent. A moment later, laughter came from the blood crow's mouth.

"Do you want to come to my ship?"

"No interest."

"Then forget it. Today's events never happened."

The blood crows around Su Xiao scattered. The first to suffer was the bartender.

As one of the three strongest pirate kings at sea, Black Sea King Agati couldn't afford to lose face. But through the blood crow, he judged that Su Xiao was not someone to be trifled with.

So he made a verbal agreement with Su Xiao that this matter would be treated as if it never happened. After doing this, Black Sea King Agati began to silence witnesses, eliminating the bartender, the only witness to this event.

In this way, no one would reveal this matter. As for the pirates who fled, they were smart enough to run when things looked wrong; this was the way to survive at sea.

In Black Sea King Agati's view, the death of a blood crow was just a small matter. Because of such a small matter, making an enemy of a strong person of unknown origin was very unwise; the cost and gain were completely disproportionate.

It could be said that Black Sea King Agati had brought the ruthlessness and shrewdness of pirates to the extreme.

"What did you do before? My seed bloomed before it was mature."

A blood crow flew back and landed on the wooden table again. It represented the Black Sea King.

"Inquired about some legends at sea."

"My legends at sea?"

"..."

"Hmph, still thinking you're probing me."

The Black Sea King snorted coldly to cover up the awkward atmosphere.

"Twilight's afterglow, king of the night..."

Su Xiao was halfway through when the blood crow on the table interrupted: "Origin of despair, master of everything."

"That's right, that's the legend of the god."

"You are courting death. This is no legend."

The Black Sea King's voice was significantly deeper.

"That's even better."

"You lunatic, do you know... what you are looking for?"

"Just a god."

Su Xiao tossed a soul crystal fragment into his mouth and chewed slowly.

"Just?!"

The Black Sea King controlled the blood crow to look Su Xiao up and down, and finally shook its head.

"I don't know if you are ignorant and fearless, or strong enough to slaughter gods. However, how about we continue to cooperate?"

"No interest."

Su Xiao refused decisively. The Doom Ship hadn't grown up yet, and the chips on both sides were not equal.

"Caw caw caw, go find Feld. He is on this island, in the grass hut to the south. Feld is a fanatic of that thing. There are many fanatics of that thing. This favor, return it to me later."

"Can do."

"See you at sea, if you haven't died in that thing's hands."

The blood crow flew away. From the Black Sea King's few words, Su Xiao confirmed many things.

There were indeed Ancient Gods in this world, and they were relatively high-profile. This was also the reason why Su Xiao could find clues so quickly. Previously, he was worried that if that Ancient God was like the Moon God, a homebody, without main quests to provide clues, searching for it would be very troublesome.

Obviously, the Ancient God of this world was different from the Moon God. Listening to the Black Sea King's tone, he had clearly seen that Ancient God.

Having obtained this information, Su Xiao took Bubu Wang and Bahar and left the tavern, heading straight for the south side of the island.

The island was overgrown with weeds and grew many tropical trees. After walking for more than ten minutes, Su Xiao vaguely saw a grass hut in the darkness ahead. ===== CHAPTER 2252 =====
