This gave Luo Feng an ominous feeling.
As expected, a voice soon came from the ship ahead.
"People on that giant turtle, stop it right now, or we'll take action."
After some thought, Luo Feng decided to halt. This was his first time encountering humans in the Main Sea Area.
Or rather, he should say, encountering NPC-like characters in the game.
Soon, Black Tortoise stopped before a large ship.
Seeing the crew's attire, a name suddenly surfaced in Luo Feng's mind.
Pirates?
Expressionless, Luo Feng spoke, "Why did you stop us? If I'm not mistaken, you must be pirates?"
Ma Feifei burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Our Hurricane Pirate Crew has long struck fear throughout this Sea Zone. Just the sight of our insignia makes people flee in terror. Yet you can't even recognize us? Must be new to these waters. Well then, consider this your lesson for today. Leave the giant turtle behind, the woman stays, and hand over all your treasures. Do this, and I might spare your life. Or perhaps I'll give you a chance to join our Hurricane Pirate Crew. No one in these waters dares oppose us."
Luo Feng listened with eerie calm, for in his eyes, these pirates were already dead men.
Coldly eyeing the pirate ship, Luo Feng said, "And if I refuse? True, this is my first time here. So I'll offer you a choice instead. Leave your ship, surrender all supplies, then kill yourselves—and I'll grant you intact corpses."
"Hahaha! You'll laugh me to death! Seems you won't yield until facing certain doom. Do you know who you're speaking to? Lest you die ignorant—I'm Ma Feifei, deputy leader of the Hurricane Pirate Crew. My strength has reached Tier 3. Through special means, we've discerned you're merely Tier 1. Yet you dare wander the seas with a beauty? That oversized turtle may be large, but its strength is only Tier 1 too. My crew could slaughter you all without my lifting a finger. Though... you've piqued my interest now. I won't let you die so easi—"
Ma Feifei's words choked off as he witnessed an astonishing sight—billowing cold air erupted before the turtle.
The sea surface instantly began freezing.
The spreading ice raced toward their ship at terrifying speed.
With barely dozens of meters between turtle and ship, the crew had no time to react before their vessel became completely encased in ice.
Face paling, Ma Feifei shouted, "All hands abandon ship! Capture that man alive! Don't let him die too quickly!"
Numerous pirates leaped into the sea, swimming toward Luo Feng, while others jumped directly onto the ice.
These men were far too inexperienced.
They knew nothing of Black Tortoise's true power.
Those who jumped onto the ice were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.
Those who leaped into the seawater met the same fate—completely frozen solid.
Seeing this, Ma Feifei's earlier confidence vanished without a trace.
Fear had already taken hold of him.
Many of his crew members were Level 2 in strength.
Yet, they had no ability to resist this Freezing at all. The Giant Turtle's power was truly terrifying—far beyond what a Level 1 could possess.
Could it be that the earlier detection instrument had malfunctioned?
Ma Feifei didn't dare dwell on it further, as the Freezing had already crept up the ship to his feet.
He immediately used his wind-based ability to lift himself into the air.
Seeing that the Freezing couldn't reach him in the sky, he let out a sigh of relief.
But when he noticed that nearly all his crew members were about to perish, his expression turned grim.
These were his most trusted subordinates.
In the blink of an eye, they were all about to die. Even if he managed to escape, this would be a devastating blow to him.
With this thought, Ma Feifei glared furiously at Luo Feng and snarled, "Don't get too cocky. Today, I'll make you pay.
I'll show you the consequences of provoking me to this extent!"
As his voice faded, violent hurricanes began swirling around him.
Soon, an enormous hurricane formed over the sea.
But this hurricane wasn't just wind—it was filled with countless Wind Blades.
The hurricane was like a meat grinder; anyone caught in it would be reduced to nothing.
Watching the Wind Blade Hurricane take shape, Ma Feifei grinned and said, "This is my signature move. In my Wind Blade Hurricane, the death toll is never less than a thousand, if not eight hundred.
I was going to leave you all with intact corpses.
But now, every single one of you—including that Giant Turtle—will join my crew in death.
If word got out, where would my reputation as the deputy leader of the Hurricane Pirate Crew go?
Face my judgment now.
Hahaha!"
Ma Feifei watched as the massive Wind Blade Hurricane surged toward Luo Feng's turtle, his face alight with glee, as if he could already see Luo Feng torn to shreds.
But when the hurricane reached the turtle, what happened next left him utterly stunned.
The hurricane, composed of countless Wind Blades, was completely blocked by the Protective Shield over the turtle.
Not only did it fail to kill Luo Feng, but the Wind Blades couldn't even scratch the Protective Shield.
Ma Feifei couldn't accept this.
This was his most powerful ability—one that had never failed him before.
Never had he encountered such a situation.
No matter what, he had to kill the man before him today.
With this resolve, Ma Feifei poured even more power into the hurricane, making it grow larger and denser with Wind Blades.
By now, Ma Feifei was barely holding on—he couldn't sustain an attack of this magnitude for long.
When he saw that the Protective Shield on the turtle still showed no movement, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At that moment, the look he gave Luo Feng was as if he wanted to devour him whole.
Then, gritting his teeth, his entire body suddenly erupted with a surge of energy
