So he hurried toward the pirate ship.
Inside Mist City, Su Yunxi also noticed the situation unfolding in the Sea Zone beyond the mist.
At the moment, Su Yunxi wore a white veil over her face, making it impossible for those around her to discern her true appearance.
Out of curiosity, she stood by the edge of Mist City, watching the distant scene, but dared not get too close.
Her level was only 1, so there was no need for her to involve herself in this battle.
Though this was a game world, a player's life was not something they could revive infinitely.
Losing one life meant losing thirty years of lifespan—something most players couldn't afford.
Su Yunxi had been here for a few hours now, and from her observations, becoming a Bounty Hunter seemed the best way to grow quickly and accumulate wealth.
The Bounty Hunter Guild had plenty of missions available.
Around the Sea Zone near Mist City, Luo Feng's ship wasn't too far from the city, and its speed was fast.
The other ships had already closed in.
"Ma Feifei, I never expected you to have the guts to come here to Mist City looking for death. Today, we'll grant your wish."
"After living here for so many years, this is the first time I've seen a pirate ship dare to come within ten kilometers of Mist City.
Are your Pirate Crew getting too bold, or do you think we Bounty Hunters have gone soft?"
"Surrender now, and we might let you keep your corpse intact. Otherwise, the consequences will be beyond your imagination."
Inside the Hurricane Pirate Ship, Luo Feng listened to the voices from the nearby ships and realized there had been a misunderstanding.
Even though he had taken down the Hurricane Pirate Crew's flag, some still recognized it as the ship of Ma Feifei, the deputy leader of the Hurricane Pirate Crew.
It seemed Ma Feifei was quite notorious here.
To avoid unnecessary conflict, Luo Feng quickly climbed to the highest point of the Hurricane Pirate Ship.
He scanned the surrounding crowd and said, "Everyone, I am not a member of the Hurricane Pirate Crew.
This ship is just spoils of war—I killed those pirates.
This is all a misunderstanding."
The crowd was stunned to see someone they had never met before.
A heated discussion immediately broke out.
"What's going on? Did this guy really kill all the pirates?
That can't be possible!
Ma Feifei is a Level 3.
If he fought seriously, even a Level 4 expert would have trouble dealing with him.
Not to mention, his ship had at least five Level 2 members and ten Level 1 members."
"I seriously doubt the truth of his words.
If Ma Feifei was that easy to kill, he would've died long ago.
Compared to their combat ability, these pirates are even better at running away.
The moment they encounter someone they can't beat, they flee immediately.
That's why these pirates have never been completely wiped out."
"If you claim you killed Ma Feifei, then show us proof. Otherwise, we'll have to capture you."
After all, sailing in on a pirate ship with unclear intentions is suspicious.
"Bring out Ma Feifei's corpse, let's have a look."
Luo Feng was taken aback when he heard this request. They actually wanted him to produce Ma Feifei's body.
This put Luo Feng in an awkward position.
He didn't have any particular habit of collecting corpses.
After eliminating those pirates, he'd simply left their bodies in the ocean without a second thought.
By now, they'd probably ended up in the stomachs of various sea creatures.
However, Luo Feng wasn't completely without options—he still had their weapons.
Thinking this, he said, "Keeping those pirate corpses would've been useless, so I threw them into the ocean.
But I did keep some valuable items from their bodies.
Would you like to see those instead?"
His words caused an uproar among the surrounding bounty hunters, who grew visibly excited.
"Holy shit, am I hearing this right? He's saying Ma Feifei's corpse was useless?
Don't you know every pirate's head can be exchanged for a hefty sum of Ocean Coins at the Bounty Hunter Guild?
And Ma Feifei—being the deputy leader of the Hurricane Pirate Crew—his head is worth even more.
We're talking at least several thousand Ocean Coins here.
1 Ocean Coin equals 100 gold coins.
That's cold hard cash we're missing out on."
"To brush off thousands of Ocean Coins like that... I find it hard to believe.
That amount could buy several ships like this one.
I strongly suspect this guy's lying. We should just rush him and capture him first."
"With so many of us here, why should we fear one stranger?
We've never seen this guy before—he might be colluding with pirates.
Better take him down quickly."
The bounty hunters were practically itching for action.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Hold on. This man isn't lying.
Ma Feifei was indeed killed by them.
I have all the pirates' corpses right here."
Everyone turned toward the speaker and was shocked to see Fan Haixin. The crowd immediately grew animated.
"Isn't that Four-Star Bounty Hunter Fan Haixin? If he's speaking up now, does that mean this guy's telling the truth?"
"If Fan Haixin says so, it must be true. As a Four-Star Bounty Hunter, he's taken down at least a hundred pirates himself.
There's no way he'd have any connection with pirates."
"Does this guy know Fan Haixin? Looks like we're going home empty-handed this time.
Who'd have thought this man could kill Ma Feifei, the deputy leader of the Hurricane Pirate Crew? His strength is nothing to scoff at.
Mist City's gained another formidable fighter."
Hearing this, Luo Feng was startled. He frowned slightly as he observed the man—wearing a hat, carrying a shotgun on his back, and puffing on an exceptionally thick cigar.
Luo Feng didn't recognize him.
But judging by the crowd's reaction, it was clear they held this Fan Haixin's words in high regard.
Bounty hunters, four-star ratings—these were entirely new concepts to Luo Feng.
Seeing this person speak up for Luo Feng, he no longer held back and smiled, saying, "This is my first time coming to this Sea Zone world.
I'm not very familiar with the situation here.
I didn't expect these pirate corpses to be so valuable.
Since this matter has been settled, can we enter Mist City now?"
