Chapter 2955

~16 min read 3,015 words

Mini Sweet Orange felt her thinking gradually clear up. Memories with the battle just now as a node appeared continuously. Her expression instantly became dull, the look on her face gradually turned terrified. Soon, she tilted her head slightly, her mouth wide open, and while tears welled up in her eyes, drool flowed out.

"Ah!!"

A scream tore through the dense forest. Mini Sweet Orange fell from the mushroom. Guang Mu on the side stood dull in place. She was pondering how many plant lives Sweet Orange's scream would attract.

The *Doom* rushed out of the sea. In nearly two days, there hadn't been too much change on the Island of Eternal Life. All parties had arrived, but they were basically blocked in the outer area of the island.

The five outer areas—the Poison Insect Area, Crocodile Area, Snake Area, Active Plant Area, and Hunter Area—let the three great pirate forces and a group of contractors experience the enthusiasm of the Island of Eternal Life.

Most contractors were in the Hunter Area and Active Plant Area. Although they didn't cooperate, they were also trying to concentrate firepower to break through these two areas. If they didn't clean this place up, once a battle occurred in the central area, the loud noise would inevitably attract monsters from the outer areas.

All the Island of Eternal Life creatures in the five outer areas were following a survival rule: once the central area was threatened, they would swarm to the central area.

These Island of Eternal Life creatures had a certain level of intelligence. After giving birth to offspring or producing seeds, they would send them to the edge of the central area, let them drink water by a ring river, or soak them in the ring river. The water of this ring river was mixed with Primordial Water.

This was the reason why the Island of Eternal Life creatures were powerful. Generation after generation of reproduction, evolution, and adaptation allowed them to reach their current level.

The Active Plant Area and Hunter Area were being cleaned up by contractors. It had been two days, and the progress was not bad, but quite a few contractors were left here forever.

The Poison Insect Area was being cleaned up by Little Black Witch Sa leading people. Little Black Witch Sa's head was almost hammered to pieces, but he kept insisting on cleaning this place, and even put on a look of "intruders die."

The remaining Crocodile Area and Snake Area: the Snake Area was being cleaned up by the Duke, while the Crocodile Area was left to the Twin-Tower Empress.

The three great pirate forces were different from the contractors; the three great pirate forces had started to cooperate. Little Black Witch Sa and the Duke could hold on, and even showed signs of breaking through the Snake Area and Poison Insect Area.

During this period, pirates kept coming one after another. According to incomplete statistics, the number of ordinary pirates who died on the Island of Eternal Life in the last two days was at least ten thousand.

The Twin-Tower Empress's side was not going well. There were a total of 95 giant crocodiles in the Crocodile Area. After the Twin-Tower Empress's people besieged and killed 42, they couldn't hold on anymore. There was a hegemon-level giant crocodile that was strong to the point of being terrifying.

The Twin-Tower Empress retreated, which made Little Black Witch Sa extremely angry. He sought out the Twin-Tower Empress. This was the first time the Empress showed a strong attitude. In front of everyone, she backhanded a slap that almost pulled Little Black Witch Sa's head off. This shocked everyone; no one expected the Empress to be so strong.

The Twin-Tower Empress and Little Black Witch Sa's people almost fought. The final result was that Little Black Witch Sa took people out of the Poison Insect Area and entered the Crocodile Area, and then was hammered to the point of consciousness being blurred. It was said that Little Black Witch Sa was carried out, and the white cloth covering him was soaked with blood.

Once this news came out, everyone had a new understanding of the Twin-Tower Empress. This Empress had disguised herself too well—usually weak, swallowing her anger, but at the critical moment, she backhanded a slap.

After consultation among the three great pirates, the Duke was still responsible for the Snake Area, Little Black Witch Sa and the Empress were responsible for the Poison Insect Area together, and then the three parties joined forces to clean up the Crocodile Area.

"Boss, this is what happened in the last two days. The situation on the island is basically clear."

Baha landed on the ship's rail in a half-dead state. These two days had exhausted it quite a bit.

"Is the Crocodile Area still left?"

Su Xiao felt the situation was becoming more and more magical. If he wasn't wrong, in the end, all parties would gather in the cave in the center of the island and besiege that withered corpse together. That was nine times out of ten the ultimate boss of the Island of Eternal Life. One could imagine how high the rewards for killing it would be.

That ultimate boss looked like a withered corpse now, but Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had sensed that the other party's aura was very vast. After waking up, it was eight times out of ten a large-sized ultimate boss that required a group of people to besiege.

The benefits were high enough to make people jealous. The Demon Sea Baptism was slightly inferior compared to this benefit, but there was one point: there were too many people besieging that ultimate boss.

Duke's forces, Empress's forces, Little Black Witch Sa's forces, Underworld Wolf, Gask, Warden team, and besides these, there were Guang Mu, Black Rose, and others.

According to the current situation, these people all had a high probability of appearing. During the cleaning of the outer areas, there would be no conflict, because if there were fewer people, the ultimate boss of the Island of Eternal Life would be truly unbeatable.

At that time, it would depend on who could kill that ultimate boss with super-high attack intensity. Because there was no team mechanism, the killer would obtain everything, and the losers could only eat dirt.

In this regard, Su Xiao didn't fear at all. The Demon Blade could execute targets with health below 25%. In the end, it would be the Green Shadow King paving the way, followed by the Demon Blade execution.

Thinking of these, Su Xiao decided to make a move now, go to the Crocodile Area, and clean up that area first. He still had 118,500 Demon Sea coins left, which could replenish many Cursed Ones. If the Demon Sea coins weren't enough in the end, he would scrape them from Caesar; that guy had no less than 80,000 Demon Sea coins in his hands.

After solving the five outer areas of the island, there were still three wild bosses entrenched on the edge of the central area. At that time, it would be shared by all parties to clean up these three wild bosses.

The hegemon-level giant crocodile in the Crocodile Area, then there were the three wild bosses distributed in the central area, and finally the ultimate boss withered corpse. Every battle was very hard to fight, and correspondingly, the benefits were also high.

The *Doom* anchored in the near sea of the Island of Eternal Life. Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha and jumped onto a small boat, and the group of Cursed Ones also detached from the hull of the *Doom*.

Arriving at the edge of the island, Su Xiao walked on the beach. This beach was scattered with severed limbs and arms, and in some places, the sand and soil hadn't been soaked through with blood. These were all left behind when the giant crocodiles chased and killed the pirates.

After passing a dense forest in front, it was a swamp, and the giant crocodiles were entrenched there.

Su Xiao walked into the dense forest first. A smell of rotten dead leaves drifted into his nasal cavity, faintly mixed with a fishy stench.

There were large traces of trampling on the surrounding grass and trees. Su Xiao walked forward along these traces. After walking for about two kilometers, a swampy wetland appeared in front.

Poison Insect Area, a simple wooden house was built here. Many pirates sat on the ground between the wooden houses. Some had broken arms, and the white cloth wrapped around the broken arms was red and black, clearly poisoned.

"Captain, most of the poison insects have hidden in the insect nest. Do we really still need to continue? The brothers are all a bit..."

A pirate with his head wrapped in blood-stained white cloth and a sallow complexion spoke. He was the navigator of the Black Witch Sa pirate group and had a high status on the ship.

"Continue."

A young man with a pale face and a gloomy expression spoke. His aura was like a black mamba snake, cold and vicious. This young man was Little Black Witch Sa, the current captain of the Black Witch Sa pirate group.

"Little Black Witch Sa, is there really no problem with this?"

The Twin-Tower Empress, wearing black-brown leather clothes, spoke. The slit on the chest of this leather clothing was very low, almost reaching her navel. Her attire had changed; after all, she had to fight.

"Are you questioning me?"

Little Black Witch Sa looked at the Twin-Tower Empress sideways. The Twin-Tower Empress turned her head slightly, appearing to have conceded, not wanting to have another conflict with Little Black Witch Sa.

"Go inside and discuss."

Little Black Witch Sa strode into a wooden house, followed by three confidants. The Twin-Tower Empress also walked into the wooden house, followed by two confidants, "Silver Snake Xiu Lu" and "Heart-Dissecting Lietisia."

The door of the wooden house closed. The Twin-Tower Empress moved her somewhat sore neck and sat on the only chair in the room. She crossed her legs, and a small circle of red gemstones was embedded on the brown leather boots on her feet.

With a *thump*, Little Black Witch Sa knelt on both knees, a flattering look on his face. The five pirate leaders in the room were unimpressed, appearing to have been used to it long ago.

"You've performed well recently, especially that sword you stabbed your father with. It wasn't in vain that I got that sword."

Hearing the Twin-Tower Empress's words, where was the coldness on Little Black Witch Sa's face? It was a joy that came from the heart, yet like a puppet. He was indeed selfish, but not to the extent of patricide. This was someone who had done something to Little Black Witch Sa, which made him commit that series of incomprehensible behaviors. This seed had been buried in him for a long time; it was buried by the Empress.

Why did Little Black Witch Sa take on the Poison Insect Area, the hardest bone to chew? This was actually to eliminate dissidents; it was the Empress manipulating him to do so.

"The West Sea King was solved by the captain of the *Doom*. This was within expectations. Black Witch Sa's side was also handled cleanly. Only the Duke is left."

The Twin-Tower Empress glanced at Little Black Witch Sa. She was considering when to deal with this waste; the other party's value had basically been squeezed dry.

Just at this moment, the Empress started talking to herself.

"Sister, for so long, you've worked hard."

"How could that be? The things Sister ordered, I will definitely do well."

"Sister, I have one last thing I want you to do."

The Twin-Tower Empress started talking to herself. The others in the room stood facing the wall. Only these five pirate leaders knew the true face and ability of the Empress. They were willing to follow capable people, and the Empress was one of the best among them.

"Sister, about the Sea King's Horn, you didn't handle it well enough. You silly child, back then you should have sent that piece of horn to the captain of the *Doom*, instead of trying to send it to the Duke."

"Sister, I..."

"Sister, I just said, I have one last thing I want you to do."

"Sister, tell me."

"Sister, can you... die? With you here, I am not complete."

"Since it's Sister's request, then I will die."

Once these words were spoken, the Twin-Tower Empress's head drooped, and a tear flowed from her right eye, crossing her cheek, and finally dripped from her chin. This tear could be the Empress's reluctance to part with her sister, or it could be her sister's nostalgia for this world.

The tear scattered on the wooden floor. The Empress raised her head, and her gaze was different. The five pirate leaders in the room all knelt on one knee in front of the Empress.

"Empress-sama, welcome back."

"Mm."

The Empress stood up slowly. She suddenly kicked forward, and Little Black Witch Sa's head exploded like a watermelon. Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, splashing the five pirate leaders all over their faces and bodies, but they didn't dare to move at all.

With a *thump*, Little Black Witch Sa's headless corpse fell to the ground. The Empress stepped over his corpse. When she reached the door, she seemed to have thought of something and tilted her head slightly, saying:

"Find a place to bury this waste."

"As you command."

Four pirate leaders started to deal with the corpse. The last one picked up the pirate hat with feathers sewn on the edge and respectfully handed it to the Empress. The Empress of the Demon Sea had awakened. At this time, there were no twin towers, only the Empress remained.

Snake Area, on a pile of hundred-meter-high python corpses, the Duke sat shirtless, looking at a gemstone in his hand. This gemstone had the Twin-Tower emblem on it. At this moment, the center of this gemstone cracked, and the Twin-Tower emblem was completely shattered.

"Has the Empress awakened? Death Knell."

"Present."

"Go notify Bai Ye and tell him everything about the Empress."

"My lord, this..."

"Bai Ye is much more trustworthy than the Empress. Bai Ye is a madman, that's true, but he dares to act and dares to take responsibility. Go."

"Yes."

The pirate leader Death Knell Gangji walked toward the forest on the side. Before he could walk into the forest, he saw several figures walking over.

"Who goes there!"

"Death Knell, come back."

The Duke jumped down from the corpse pile. He saw Su Xiao walking over from the dense forest with several Cursed Ones.

"The Twin-Tower Empress side..."

"The Empress has awakened..."

Su Xiao and the Duke spoke almost at the same time, then both stopped and didn't speak anymore.

"Let's cooperate for now. The Empress's own power, plus the fact that she swallowed Black Witch Sa, makes her very difficult to deal with now."

As the Duke spoke, his eyes seemed a bit unhappy. He asked: "Was that witch created by you?"

"Yes."

"You! *Whoosh*~"

The Duke slowly exhaled, which was considered calming his mood. What was hard to deny was that he indeed really wanted to obtain the Primordial Water.

The reason Su Xiao came here was to find the Duke to cooperate. What he didn't expect was that the Duke also had this intention; they hit it off immediately.

As for why Su Xiao knew the situation on the Empress's side: after the Twin-Tower Empress and Little Black Witch Sa joined forces, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang felt that the situation there was wrong. Although it was silly, it wasn't stupid, so it stared there all day and finally had a harvest. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had a high hope of winning the "MVP of the Battle of the Island of Eternal Life."

Having reached a preliminary cooperation, Su Xiao took people and left, while the Duke continued to lead people to clean up the Python Area.

Behind a tree near the negotiation location, a figure was leaning against the tree trunk. It was Underworld Wolf. He was passing by this place, preparing to go to the neighboring Hunter Area to see the situation there, but ended up bumping into the scene of Su Xiao and the Duke joining forces.

Underworld Wolf's original purpose for entering the Demon Sea world was another high-risk area, the Great Whirlpool, but he didn't find it. Right now, being able to arrive at the Island of Eternal Life, his mood was very good.

But after arriving at the Island of Eternal Life, Underworld Wolf discovered that it wasn't like that at all. That hunter named Bai Ye not only lured a large number of contractors to the Island of Eternal Life but also lured pirate forces here.

Of the four largest pirate forces in this world, three had come now. The one that was absent was because it had been wiped out by that hunter named Bai Ye, which was why it didn't come.

Thinking of these, Underworld Wolf's brain hurt. He originally thought the Island of Eternal Life was desert island survival + survival + treasure hunting + killing enemies for high benefits.

As a result, this place was almost becoming a war zone. Those great pirates' subordinates came batch after batch, filling in the lives of more than ten thousand pirates, and forcibly stabilized the situation on the Island of Eternal Life.

Underworld Wolf had a worry in his heart: would he kill for a few days, and in the end, damn it, end up "working" for others?

Thinking of these, Underworld Wolf's mood was a bit complicated. He spent 150 soul coins to get the coordinates of the Island of Eternal Life, but after arriving at the Island of Eternal Life, the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.

"Bad luck."
