Chapter 673

When the others saw the true face of that giant thing, they were instantly horrified.

The chariot also came to a stop, not daring to advance any further for fear of triggering the creature's wrath.

"That is indeed Hodi, but why is he wearing handcuffs?"

"I don't know, we should leave here quickly."

The people standing at the front began to panic, but he was convinced that the target of the person before them was not them.

"He shouldn't be here to fight us this time!"

"But why does it feel like his state is a bit abnormal?"

【Could this be the main boss of the first chapter?】

【Probably not, right? Although he looks a bit perverted, I still don't see anything particularly special about him.】

【This guy can make himself so strong just by taking drugs; if he overdoses, will he just glitch out?】

【In the explanation just now, this guy became invulnerable just by eating a few pills. Does this New World really have such perverted things?】

【The world is vast, what isn't there?】

【This Hodi looks like he's deliberately targeting them; everyone on this entire chariot is going to die.】

【What does this Hodi have to do with the Nether Chariot? Didn't the Straw Hat Hall just mention the Nether Chariot earlier?】

【That depends on how the author explains this matter. Author, keep it up!】

The few of them knew that facing such a powerful enemy, they could no longer escape.

They desperately rushed toward Hodi.

For Hodi, this was nothing at all.

With just one hand and one palm, he shattered the person blocking his way.

Even from a distance, one could hear the crisp sound of bones breaking.

The person who was hit was beyond saving.

The rest of the people watched in fear and retreated repeatedly.

The Hall Master already knew a thing or two; this person in front of them had ingested a large amount of fierce drugs!

That was a type of drug previously banned by the Imperial Court.

They had quietly transported a batch on their chariot, prepared for the newly arrived Jianghu heroes.

In this New World, they needed this powerful assistance to fulfill their greater aspirations.

But he had no idea through what channels Hodi had obtained these fierce drugs.

Now, the opponent was attacking their chariot so rashly just for the fierce drugs stored on their chariot!

Facing this person, they truly had no power to fight back!

"As expected of the newly developed prescription."

"Not only has the muscle strength in my body increased twentyfold, but even my bones have been greatly improved!"

Hodi felt very satisfied with the powerful ability he now possessed.

The Hall Master realized that something was wrong and immediately prepared to retreat.

But Hodi had already anticipated his move before that.

He directly smashed the chariot to pieces, and the remaining people were all blown away together.

【No way, there are still so many fierce drugs on this chariot; what is he going to do with them after taking them?】

【Does that even need to be said? Of course, it's to deal with the Straw Hat Hall.】

【Now that he wants so many fierce drugs, he's probably going to give everyone one, right?】

【Although I believe in the general strength of the Straw Hat Hall, seeing them do this makes me feel a bit unconfident.】

【Everyone, don't forget Lady Xia Li's prophecy from before!】

The shore.

All the merfolk were still very panicked.

"We have already searched every corner and asked the other residents."

"We haven't seen Little Yi at all; where on earth did she go?"

Almost all of them, the merfolk, lived together in groups.

This was a living habit they had maintained for hundreds of years.

Only in this way could they greatly ensure the survival ability of their merfolk.

But now that one sister was missing, it gave them a bad premonition, as if some danger was about to arrive.

A group of merfolk came to the other side of the shore just like that.

They saw the wine barrel on the shore that had already been opened.

"Why is that wine barrel open?"

"Did Little Yi open it?"

Only they lived in this area.

If Little Yi had opened this wine barrel, then she should have taken this wine to the street.

Just as everyone was feeling suspicious, an abrupt voice came.

Everyone suddenly felt the center of gravity under their feet sink.

Originally, they were standing on rocky ground, but because the skin of merfolk is quite fragile, they cannot touch any sand.

But now, what was under their feet was actually a large swamp.

"What is going on?"

They had lived here for a long time, and the terrain here could absolutely not change.

But it was also true that their fish tails were sinking into the swamp right now.

What on earth was going on?

In the swamp, a human head also poked out.

He smiled lecherously at the merfolk in front of him, "I am truly so grateful to you for letting me come to such a wonderful place."

Upon seeing the head poking out from below, the merfolk fell into even greater chaos.

Where did this pervert come from?

And he was even hurting them.

This was the East Sea Long Gong, a place with the rule of law, but this person in front of them wanted to catch merfolk!

All the merfolk suddenly fell into huge panic and struggled desperately, but to no avail.

They could only watch their bodies sink into the swamp.

Li Bu looked at the trapped people and laughed greedily.

"Each of these merfolk is worth several hundred taels of silver!"

"I'm rich!"

Before that, he had heard of the treasure land called East Sea Long Gong.

Here, there were not only fish-men but also merfolk.

Because of their unique appearance, merfolk were highly favored and had a very high price in the black market.

Because of this, many people tried to catch merfolk to sell in the black market.

Because the Third Imperial Prince of East Sea Long Gong had recently risen to power and rebuilt the fortress of East Sea Long Gong.

As a result, not many people could break into this place, and the number of merfolk remaining on the market was becoming fewer and fewer.

Things are valued for their rarity; now, as long as he takes them to the black market.

At the very least, ten thousand taels of silver would be there.

Li Bu laughed contentedly.

This piece of land looked heavily guarded, but in reality, it was not.

These merfolk were actually so bold as to come ashore; with his secret technique, once they left the water, this place was his world.

They were actually still delusional about escaping; weren't they all caught alive by him?

As long as he successfully finds a chariot to escape this East Sea Long Gong, he will be able to sell these beautiful mermaids to other places.

These beautiful merfolk would be perfectly suited to be sold to entertainment venues.

Thinking of this, he had an even crazier idea; at least there were so many merfolk here.

Wang Lufei and the others were still missing; they were probably still unconscious somewhere right now.

Taking advantage of this time, he would tie up most of the merfolk and quietly transport them away; no one would dare to stop him!
