Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Prompted by Luo Hasta’s reminder, Yang Yu recalled the Contracted Spirit Body that collaborated with Hualan to unleash the Giant Wave at the Dragon God Conference.

Speaking of which, it seems Hualan only unleashed the Giant Wave in battle against me.

Being able to hear what Hualan was saying from such a distance... Just now, even though we were far apart, Luo Hasta could still hear what we were talking about...

”Surprisingly good hearing...” Yang Yu couldn’t help but marvel.

”To be precise, it’s not just hearing.”

Lang Yi reeled in a small fish with his fishing rod,

”Luo Hasta’s race is that of the Yellow Robe Master, which is a rather mysterious one. They live in unknown abysses and have special methods to identify and communicate with their own kind in such dark, sunless depths.

Explaining it is quite convoluted...

The ocean is vast, and the sea-dwelling species include many mysterious races.

Investigating the origins and mechanisms of their mysterious abilities is quite troublesome.”

”Even Luo Hasta doesn’t know some of his own abilities. The captain saw potential in him and recruited him,” Jiao Xi said.

”Anyway, that woman is just like that.” Lang Yi showed no signs of complaint, ”Though she behaves like that, she occasionally has a good eye. If you’re interested in Luo Hasta’s race, you should just ask him directly.”

”Forget it, forget it.”

Yang Yu waved his hand; Luo Hasta’s race is that of the Yellow Robe Master, with a strong hint of Cthulhu flavor.

An Octopus Lady with tentacles on the lower half is still acceptable, but if it’s an indescribable being covered in tentacles, merely meeting it could shatter all sanity values, erasing them.

Getting wrapped up in an Octopus Lady’s tentacles is an entanglement, but being wrapped up in the tentacles of an indescribable being is a horror.

There’s something even more terrifying... What if, accidentally, some indescribable XP System awakens...

It’s unclear if the Sea Mother who created these races has a penchant for it.

Speaking of which...

On the journey so far, there hasn’t seemed to be a low-attractiveness Octopus Lady. They are all synonymous with beauty.

... As long as they don’t have those half-octopus-like tentacles.

Perhaps... it truly is...

Realizing he was on the brink of something he shouldn’t, Yang Yu quickly changed the topic, thereby wiping away some strange images from his memory.

Afterwards, Yang Yu continued chatting with Jiao Xi about the Sea Mother until they encountered pirates setting sail in winter in this calm sea area.

Three massive pirate ships equipped with heavy cannons surrounded Yang Yu and his group.

A pirate captain draped in a red cloak received a giant conch from his subordinates, stepped onto the deck, and shouted loudly towards Yang Yu and his group:

”Everyone on the ship, listen up! We are the Lion Pirate Group. If you don’t want to die, don’t make any movements and hand over all your valuables!”

However, before the captain could finish his speech, Lang Yi raised a hand and said to Yang Yu, ”This distance is just right,” and directly performed a Level Flow Replacement, swapping positions with the pirate captain.

Yang Yu reacted swiftly.

The unfortunate captain, upon appearing beside him, was swiftly taken down by Yang Yu with a sweeping leg and pressed into the deck.

Yang Yu’s movements were smooth and decisive, with no hesitation. The pirate captain’s head was cracked and bleeding directly after being smashed.

The pirate leader’s subordinates took a few steps back out of fear, but then they realized something was off.

Their boss was captured; how could they maintain face if they didn’t rescue him?

These people only used some tricks to catch their boss off guard. If they could save him, a reversal would definitely be possible.

Despite this, it still posed a bit of a challenge to board Yang Yu’s ship.

Perhaps they could capture the person who got on board and transferred their boss over as a bargaining chip for negotiation.

The pirates roared and rushed towards Lang Yi, who easily slashed down two pirates’ arms with two Water Blades that emerged from his hand, weaving through the pirates with his skill, single-handedly throwing one pirate ship into chaos.

The other two pirate ships, seeing things go south, immediately aimed their cannons at Yang Yu’s ship.

”Wait, the boss is still on their ship!”

”No choice, we must demonstrate the power of our cannons to negotiate.”

With a few thunderous bangs, black cannonballs shot out of the barrels, flying straight towards Yang Yu’s ship.

At this moment, a blue Shield rose from the ship, establishing an extremely sturdy Defense.

The black shells exploded on the Shield but could not penetrate the defense of Yang Yu’s ship. Yang Yu glanced at the pirate leader who had lost consciousness under his attack.

The pirate leader’s average attribute was around nine hundred, which was entirely insufficient in front of Yang Yu’s group.

Yang Yu had dealt a nearly fatal blow to this pirate leader with a single hit.

Pirates like these could only bully ordinary merchant ships.

Because he was always fighting opponents of similar strength or stronger, Yang Yu always had the misconception that he wasn’t very strong.

Only now did Yang Yu realize profoundly that, in the eyes of ordinary people, he might no longer be distinguishable from a monster.

”Bai Jin, cast any Magic to scare them. Kill all who try to resist; spare those willing to surrender for now.”

Yang Yu’s voice was loud enough for all the pirates present to hear.

Bai Jin waved and dispelled the Frost Ice Arrow he was about to throw, first floating into the air using Flying Magic, then a pure white Array appeared at the tip of his Magic Wand.

Aiming at the sea beneath the pirate ships, Bai Jin unleashed a Blizzard, the blizzard roared, instantly freezing the sea into ice blocks.

The pirates widened their eyes in shock, involuntarily lowering their knives and bowing tremblingly towards Yang Yu and his group, knowing they’d provoked someone they shouldn’t have.

A few pirates, undeterred by Bai Jin’s mighty Magic, attempted to desperately rescue their captain. But without hesitation, Bai Jin shot Frost Ice Arrows, pinning them to the icy surface.

In just a few minutes of encounter, Yang Yu and his group already decided the outcome with the pirates.

How should one describe it?

Even Yang Yu was quite surprised; these pirates were only slightly stronger than ordinary people, and were vastly outnumbered by those weaker than them.

Perhaps, when the Demon King descends upon this world, he will witness what true devastation looks like.

After simply accounting for the casualties of the pirate captain, Yang Yu let Bai Jin thaw the sea and then had Iyas perform simple healing on the pirate captain and wake him up.

The pirate captain opened his eyes, looking around in confusion, initially wanting to get angry, only to find himself tightly bound by purple thorns, unable to break free no matter how hard he tried.

The pirate captain couldn’t comprehend how he ended up getting tied up by someone.
