Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Fang Susu frowned and didn’t answer; she hadn’t been in the sect these days, so perhaps someone sent her a message that she didn’t know about.

At this moment, Chen Jie looked at Garuno and said, ”No, do you really believe there are dragons in this world?”

Hearing this, Garuno said, ”The legend of dragons didn’t originate from us; it came from Siam.”

Siam?

Hearing this, Chen Jie turned to Zhao Facai, and Zhao Facai walked over and said, ”Brother Chen, according to the records of National Skill in our Siam Kingdom, it is said that back then, the Great Mage Dharma Ancestor used reeds as a boat to cross the South Sea and once encountered a Flood Dragon, which he subdued with his strength. That Flood Dragon was no match for the Dharma Ancestor and submerged into the deep sea.”

”The Dharma Ancestor did not wish to pursue it further, so he marked that sea area as the Hidden Dragon Abyss.”

Hidden Dragon Abyss!

Chen Jie murmured, and Fang Susu said, ”Hidden Dragon Abyss, that’s a forbidden area for navigators. It’s said that no less than a hundred warships have sunk there.”

”As a result, very few people sail there.”

After saying this, Fang Susu continued, ”My father once went there, but as soon as he reached the edge, he said the place felt sinister and not suitable for a long stay, so he took us away.”

Zhao Facai said, ”That should be Uncle Fang, who discovered traces of the Flood Dragon. If we go by what our National Book says, the Dharma Ancestor has been gone for a thousand years, so that Flood Dragon has also lived for a thousand years.”

”This is very dangerous.”

Zhao Facai said.

Garuno said, ”The more dangerous a place is, the bigger the opportunity; if dragons really exist, even picking up a single dragon scale could be a fortune worth untold wealth.”

Hearing this, Zhao Facai looked at Garuno and said, ”But it could cost lives.”

Garuno said, ”Men at sea are never afraid of danger, only afraid that the profit isn’t big enough!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Garuno. It’s undeniable that the thinking of these Westerners is different from that of Easterners. Easterners usually seek steady victory, while Westerners want to gamble big from the start.

This is precisely the clash of two cultures, leading to the result that the East had suppressed the West for thousands of years, only to miss the opportunity during the few hundred years of the modern great maritime era due to conservatism.

Chen Jie had often thought, if Huaxia hadn’t missed the great maritime era and had started global colonization based on Zheng He’s voyages, would the whole world be speaking Chinese now?

Some say invasion and colonization are not good, but they are better than a hundred years of humiliation.

Chen Jie’s perspective is: I’d rather bear a lifetime of infamy to let future generations enjoy prosperity!

Chen Jie thought and said, ”Hmm, this South Sea dragon fishing sounds quite bizarre, but we have important matters to attend to, so let’s not get involved in these external affairs for now.”

”Let’s go to Siam first and find King Wuping.”

Hearing Chen Jie’s words, although Fang Susu and the others were curious, they all decided not to join the commotion at Hidden Dragon Abyss.

But at this moment, Garuno suddenly spoke, ”You can’t go to Siam to find King Wuping; he is at Hidden Dragon Abyss.”

”Hmm?”

Chen Jie and his group were taken aback and looked at Garuno. Garuno said, ”I’m not joking, the Giant Elephant Pirate Group is heading to Hidden Dragon Abyss this time, and the leader is King Wuping Naxuan!”

Hearing this, Chen Jie frowned slightly.

He didn’t expect the person he was looking for to have gone to Hidden Dragon Abyss.

At this time, Fang Susu looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Brother Chen, what do you think?”

Zhao Facai said, ”We should go to Hidden Dragon Abyss; without Uncle there, we can’t easily defeat the State Preceptor.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie frowned slightly; the situation had become more complicated.

Moreover, Chen Jie didn’t know why, but he always felt as if Hidden Dragon Abyss was a big conspiracy. He also felt that there must be treasures in Hidden Dragon Abyss; if there weren’t, this group wouldn’t make it so mysterious.

Thinking, Chen Jie fell into contemplation. Currently, in Siam, there is a State Preceptor at Molten God Second Transition. Given his current strength, he would find it challenging to defeat the State Preceptor.

Therefore, if he went to the island now, he might very well face failure, and the ally he needed to find was indeed King Wuping Naxuan.

And Naxuan is leading their country’s pirate group, the Giant Elephant Pirate Group, to the Hidden Dragon Abyss to fish for dragons.

If he went, he might get caught up in the strife.

Of course, just like Garuno said, the greater the danger, the greater the reward.

The purpose of leaving Siam this time was to save Fang Guozhen and, incidentally, find Elder Baisun to complete the Winter Skill. However, if any other opportunities arise, he should also make the most of them.

Besides, even if he went to Siam now, he felt he couldn’t defeat that State Preceptor; he still needed to think of another way to handle the situation.

But what is the background of that black-robed person?

Chen Jie felt uneasy without understanding the black-robed person’s background.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at Garuno and said, ”Did that black-robed person say where to hand over the people?”

Garuno said, ”Zhangke Port in Baiyue Country.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Baiyue Country?”

Murmuring, Chen Jie said, ”Is it far from here?”

At this time, Fang Susu said, ”About a two-day journey, and we probably need to go to Zhangke Port because our ship suddenly has over a hundred extra people, and we might run short on fresh water and food, so we need to replenish at Zhangke Port.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Alright, let’s head to Zhangke Port to see the situation before anything else.”

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s words, everyone had no objections, so Fang Susu immediately had those slaves, and the thirty or so crew members, including Garuno, all detained, and then the entire group directly headed to Zhangke Port in Baiyue Country.

Zhangke Port, located on the southeastern coast of Baiyue Country, is a very small commercial port in Baiyue Country. However, because it is remote and Baiyue Country is not very powerful, Baiyue Country has no control over this port.

This port is actually a no-man’s-land jointly controlled by the thirteen pirate alliances.

Here, pirates can do anything without being bound by the law.

Therefore, it is filled with various bars, brothels, and mixes of different races.

There are the snow-white Pusa Man, the petite and lovely New Luo Maid, the dark Kunlun Slave, the dirty pirates, and the merchants doing business with the pirates.

With money, you can buy anything here, but you might also become a pushover in others’ eyes.

Human trafficking occurs here, treasures from around the world can be auctioned, and it is a paradise for the lawless at sea.

And here, there are no laws at all; the only safeguard is your personal martial power.

Of course, there aren’t many strong individuals here, as this era’s maritime ship development isn’t good. The strong prefer to dominate on the mainland and populous areas.

Becoming a regional overlord is presumably better than being a pirate at sea.

As a result, people here have a general cultivation below Energy Transformation, and those slightly stronger are only in the Wolf Smoke or Rainbow Realm.

With these strengths, they are quite adequate on the sea, and Dragon Realm individuals are already at the captain level of large pirate groups.

For instance, Garuno’s strength is only at the Long Rainbow Peak; such a person is simply no match for Chen Jie, so Chen Jie doesn’t feel any danger here.

”After disembarking, we will split into two groups. Dingbian and I will take Garuno to meet those black-robed men.”

”Fifth Hero Zhang and Susu, you’re responsible for purchasing fresh water and food.”

”As for Zhao Facai, you and a few others stay on board to protect the ship’s safety and your own safety.”

”Additionally, Du Xiong, you stay in the cabin; your seasickness hasn’t improved yet.”

After saying this, Chen Jie continued, ”If we and Garuno do not return this time, do not wait for us, head to the vicinity of Hidden Dragon Abyss and wait for me. Also, I emphasize, do not partake in the dragon fishing events at Hidden Dragon Abyss; it is not simple and reeks of sinister intentions.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding.

Chen Jie felt quite assured with these people indeed, as in this South Sea area, there aren’t many in the Melt God Realm. Without encountering those in the Melt God Realm, their group’s strength can move unhindered.

After assigning tasks, Chen Jie, along with Zhang Dingbian, disguised themselves as Garuno’s subordinates, and then escorted the live prisoners prepared by Garuno off the ship directly.

The sudden appearance of so many people startled those onshore, but when Garuno pulled out a matchlock gun from his waist and fired a shot into the air, the surrounding attention on them lessened significantly.

After all, there aren’t many who trade slaves, but not many have guns.

At this moment, Garuno shouted while holding the matchlock gun, ”Vega Pirate Group here, all who don’t want to die, clear the way.”

At his command, all his subordinates behind him raised their matchlock guns.

Chen Jie, at this moment, also received a matchlock gun, and upon inspection, he could only think: what shoddy craftsmanship!
