Chapter 1419: Chapter 1281: Dark Island, the Pirateâs Nest Chapter 1419: Chapter 1281: Dark Island, the Pirateâs Nest âI almost forgot, the leader of the Dark Sea Pirates, Hu Huang, was also involved,â the Sea Maiden suddenly remembered and said to Chu Mu.
âHu Huang?â
Chu Mu was determined to find out what happened to Ning Manâer, and since there was a clue among the pirates, he naturally made a note of this name.
Chu Mu reassured the Sea Maiden, âDonât worry, this time our New Moon Navy will definitely crush the Dark Sea Pirates!â
The Sea Maiden nodded vigorously and said, âThank you; Iâve been waiting for this day for a long time!â
âGo get some sleep, you need to be fully rested to kill more pirates,â said Chu Mu.
âOkay.â After talking with Chu Mu, the Sea Maiden felt more at ease. Before leaving, she looked at Chu Mu, smiled slightly, and asked, âYou just now said that Bai Jinrouâs body is dead, but her spirit is still alive. It is evident she likes being around you⊠no matter what, will you bring her back to life?â
Chu Mu was stunned, not expecting the Sea Maiden to suddenly ask such a question, and replied with a wry smile, âResurrection is not easy, but I will do my best.â
âI think someone like you, when you decide to do something, will definitely do it at all costs. Why say you will âdo your bestâ? âDoing your bestâ is surely not what you really mean,â said the Sea Maiden.
The Sea Maidenâs affirmation of Chu Muâs character came from his actions in the Demon Tomb. He had ventured into the unpredictable Demon Tomb for a departed Soul Pet, a spirit not all could possess.
Chu Mu didnât know how to respond to the Sea Maiden.
Not caring about anything and doing oneâs best were not the same concept. If the person whose body had died was Ye Qingzi, Chu Muâs answer would be not to care about anythingâŠ
âI donât know either,â Chu Mu said helplessly.
âSo, youâre just like the Big Leader He, unafraid of the enemyâs strength, yet preferring to avoid certain things,â the Sea Maidenâs eyes showed a trace of melancholy before she turned and left, muttering to herself, âThere are always people who think I joined the Navy just to eradicate pirates.â
Chu Mu watched the Sea Maiden leave and also heard her bitter self-mutterings.
âWhooosh~~~â
The sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, came blowing, messing up the hair on Chu Muâs forehead.
He leaned against the railing, gazing out at the ocean.
The pale Fire Sparks floating in mid-air seemed to have a spirit of their own as they drifted down and landed on Chu Muâs palm, then danced back and forth on the tips of his fingers. Whenever his thoughts were uncontainable, there would always be such a little flame on his handâŠ
âŠ
The Ocean gradually turned from blue to dark, not signifying the arrival of another night but because this part of the sea was always without daylight.
The waves surged high, almost touching the low-lying dark clouds.
The dark clouds were so dense that not a sliver of light seeped through, creating an oppressive atmosphere that made breathing feel heavy with darkness.
âWeâre getting close to Dark Island!â The Reconnaissance Team Leader maneuvered the Ocean Eagle and landed beside the helm, bringing this news to Sang Ying.
âThere seem to be some private-looking ships nearby.â Another investigator said as he descended on the Ocean Eagle.
âHmph, most of them are probably Pirate vessels in disguise. Most of the crew appear to be honest seafaring adventurers, but in reality, they have no idea how many lives and womenâs chastity they have taken away.â Sea Maiden scoffed coldly, her eyes not hiding her deep loathing for these Pirates.
âUhâŠâ Sang Ying was about to speak, but the Sea Maidenâs fierce comment left him momentarily at a loss for words.
âIf theyâre pretending, then weâll pretend our course is off. Remember to tell the Sailors to conceal their presence well; donât let them see our full strength,â Yuan Sui said.
Continuing forward, sure enough, some ordinary-looking Ships were approaching this area.
âHey, where are you from, those Ships look quite impressive from here!â A Mental Sound floated over from an orange Ship in the distance.
Hearing that they were being approached for conversation, the experienced Sang Ying immediately put on a smile.
Sailing was second nature to Sang Ying, who was born and bred an adventurer at sea.
âFriend, we are Ships from New Moon Land, this is our first voyage. We set sail from Guan City back to New Moon Land, but it seems we might have veered off course. This sea can be agitating, with the compass constantly pointing every which way,â Sang Ying replied from a distance.
Disguised Pirate Ship
The Captain of the Pirate Ship was Dark Islandâs Patrol Leader, Zhuo Xiong, and also the nephew of the Big Leader, Zhuo Qing. He had heard earlier from the scattered Patrol Ships that a luxurious fleet was heading this way. So, he came personally to investigate.
âNew Moon Land, what place is that? Does anyone know?â Zhuo Xiong scanned his subordinates as he spoke.
Zhuo Xiong wasnât the typical bearded, brutish-looking Pirate; on the contrary, he had a rather delicate appearance, often masquerading as a seafaring adventurer to gain entry onto luxury Ships and then taking control from the inside. Those who knew him understood that, like Big Leader Zhuo Qing, he was a wolf in sheepâs clothing, merciless when it came to killing, indifferent whether his victims were children, Elders, or women. Moreover, he harbored some Frightful proclivities!
âLeader, I know of New Moon Land. It belongs to the far western boundary of Struggle Land. I heard that it recently became independent from the jurisdiction of He Territory. New Moon Land is actually quite close to us, but because of the existence of the Dark Sea behemoths, there is almost no interaction between our folks and theirs,â one of the Pirates who frequently gathered intelligence spoke up.
âHaving so many luxury Ships doesnât seem characteristic of a small realm, does it?â Zhuo Xiong stroked his chin, pondering.
âThis⊠I donât know about that, itâs a matter from Struggle Land, we donât inquire too much. Perhaps Old Zhong might have more information,â the intelligence-gathering Pirate replied.
Zhuo Xiong thought for a moment, then took a special glance at the thirty gleaming luxury ships and suddenly hatched a plan.
âA few of you, act friendly and guide them. Iâm heading back to Dark Island to ask for instructions. Donât slip up; this could be a big catch!â Zhuo Xiong said.
âLeader, are you planning toâŠâ A seductive Deputy Leader immediately understood Zhuo Xiongâs intentions.
Whenever Zhuo Xiongâs eyes twinkled, someone would be in for bad luck. Now his eyes were full of light, his face involuntarily shining with excitement.
âIf anything goes wrong, Iâll roast every one of you over an open Flame!â Zhuo Xiong glared at his men.
The Pirates shuddered from head to toe. Zhuo Xiongâs most sadistic pleasure was the act of roastingâusing a wooden drill to pierce someone from the esophagus onwards and then cooking them over Fire, a most cruel and inhuman method!
