Blood streamed from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
The hurricane expanded once more, now reaching a full five meters in width.
Yet the Protective Shield around Black Tortoise remained unshaken.
Seeing this, Ma Feifei could no longer hold on. The hurricane abruptly vanished, and he collapsed onto the deck.
Black Tortoise rose from the water, leveling with the ship's height.
Luo Feng gazed down at Ma Feifei's limp form sprawled across the deck and remarked, "That's it? I thought you'd be stronger. I didn't even have to lift a finger before you nearly exhausted yourself to death. How utterly ridiculous. With skills like yours, you dare to be pirates? What an embarrassment."
Ma Feifei stared at the turtle hovering in the sky, his heart filled with despair. Never had he imagined encountering someone so formidable. But he wasn't ready to die yet.
Summoning his last strength, Ma Feifei struggled to his knees and kowtowed before Luo Feng, his voice trembling. "Please... spare me. I'm the deputy leader of the Hurricane Pirate Crew. If you let me go, I can give you vast riches and beautiful women. Anything you want, I can get it for you. Just let me live."
Luo Feng suddenly asked, "Is your Hurricane Pirate Crew wealthy?"
Hearing this, Ma Feifei clung to the lifeline—better Luo Feng be greedy than indifferent. Eagerly, he replied, "Over the years, our crew has amassed immense wealth. But our hideout is extremely well-hidden. Without me to guide you, no one else could find it. I can take you there, as long as you—"
Before he could finish, his body was completely encased in ice. His voice and life were abruptly cut short.
Luo Feng observed the frozen corpse and muttered, "Hurricane Pirate Crew? Seems I've found my first hunting ground in this world. Let's hope it doesn't disappoint."
With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng stored the entire ship into his space ring. As for the corpses of the pirate crew, he had no intention of collecting them. This Main Sea Domain World felt more real—unlike players' bodies that turned into loot boxes, these pirates' remains simply floated in the sea.
After stripping the corpses of their valuables, Luo Feng left them behind and continued onward. His priority now was reaching Mist City as quickly as possible.
Establishing a guild was a monumental task for Luo Feng. Typically, the first person to create a guild would trigger a world announcement, allowing him to harvest more Shock Points. The two billion Shock Points he'd just acquired had already been spent before they could even warm his hands. He needed to gather more soon—after experiencing high multipliers, the lower rewards no longer satisfied him.
Still, one thing disappointed Luo Feng: a worldwide announcement had only yielded two billion Shock Points. That was far too little.
Logically speaking, it should be at least several billion if not tens of billions.
Perhaps not many people have arrived in this world yet.
Or maybe some still aren't aware of this information.
Luo Feng didn't dwell on it too much—focusing on improving his strength was most important.
If Luo Feng's level didn't increase, then his pets' levels couldn't rise either.
This was why the Black Tortoise was still only level 1.
Fortunately, the level didn't affect the Black Tortoise's combat capabilities.
According to Luo Feng's estimation, the Black Tortoise could easily handle anyone below level 5.
As for Luo Feng himself, dealing with those below level 3 was effortless.
Ten minutes later.
Luo Feng and Tang Xuewei had already moved far away.
At the site of the earlier battle, a figure arrived.
This person wore a hat, carried a gun on his back, had a cigar in his mouth, and stood on a small speedboat.
Fan Haixin frowned at the corpses before him and muttered to himself, "Members of the Hurricane Pirate Crew, including the deputy leader Ma Feifei—all wiped out without a trace left.
There are no visible wounds on their bodies.
It seems they were frozen to death.
An ice-type bounty hunter?
There don't seem to be any ice experts of this caliber around Mist City.
Moreover, while the Hurricane Pirate Crew's deputy leader Ma Feifei wasn't particularly strong, his bounty was quite substantial.
To just abandon his corpse here like this... what a waste.
Looks like I've got smoking money for the next few months."
With a wave of his hand, Fan Haixin collected Ma Feifei's corpse, planning to exchange it for a reward at the Bounty Hunter Guild.
In the Ocean World, not everyone was a law-abiding citizen.
Thus, pirates emerged.
Some notorious pirates had corresponding bounties listed on the Bounty List.
Anyone who killed these pirates would receive the corresponding reward.
Of course, the Bounty List wasn't limited to just pirates.
Anyone who committed indiscriminate killings would be listed.
Currently, only the native residents of the Ocean World were on it.
Once players entered the Main Sea Domain World,
if they committed misdeeds, they too would appear on the Bounty List and become targets for hunters.
Bounty hunters made their living this way.
Ma Feifei's head alone was worth a thousand Ocean Coins.
To claim such a reward, one had to personally bring Ma Feifei's head to the Bounty Hunter Guild.
With that, Fan Haixin turned his speedboat around and headed straight for Mist City.
After walking for about twenty minutes,
the Black Tortoise, which had been moving swiftly, suddenly came to a halt.
This abrupt stop startled Luo Feng.
It was the first time the Black Tortoise had actively stopped like this.
Had they encountered danger ahead?
Was there some creature so threatening that even the Black Tortoise dared not approach further?
This Main Sea Domain World was truly perilous.
They hadn't gone far before running into all sorts of unexpected situations.
Luo Feng quickly asked the Black Tortoise, "What's wrong? Did we encounter danger?"
The Black Tortoise ignored Luo Feng, remaining completely still in the water.
Seeing this, Luo Feng was shocked—this was the first time the Black Tortoise had behaved so strangely. It was utterly bizarre.
At this moment, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a chill creeping up his spine.
Currently, Black Tortoise had the strongest defensive capabilities among Luo Feng's forces. If even Black Tortoise was showing such signs, things could get troublesome.
