Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

“Master! Master! This esteemed master!!”

Zhang Yi shouted loudly, ecstatic: “We are on the same side!”

“Hmm?”

Yuanqi was taken aback, looking at Zhang Yi with some confusion. He then heard Zhang Yi quickly and urgently say aloud, “To be honest, my purpose in going to Nanhui City this time is to kill Fang Yu. Perhaps our objectives are the same, and we can work together!”

“Oh? Your target is also Fang Yu?”

Yuanqi was a bit surprised, looking at Zhang Yi with interest.

“Yes, yes…” Zhang Yi nodded hurriedly: “Fang Yu killed my son, killed my subordinates. We are already in a fight to the death. You and I have the same goal, it’s truly not necessary…”

“Impudent!”

At this moment, Yuanqi, who had seemed a bit interested, suddenly wore a vicious expression, speaking coldly and harshly.

Zhang Yi was taken aback, and then felt a tremendous force instantly gripping his head. Zhang Yi was immediately lifted by the head by Yuanqi.

“Crack, crack…”

The immense force made Zhang Yi’s skull crack with loud popping sounds, his mouth agape and making crunching noises, feeling intense pain in his head, nearly being squeezed into unconsciousness.

If this force wasn’t crushing a Transcendent Captain’s head, or if Zhang Yi’s cultivation level were somewhat lower, his skull might have been crushed to pieces then and there.

After a while, the force eased a bit, and Zhang Yi managed to catch his breath.

He looked at Yuanqi, who stood before him, with terror, panting heavily, trembling with fear.

Just a moment ago, he nearly believed he would be killed by having his head crushed, dying on the spot.

He had no doubt that the other could easily crush his skull, nor did he doubt that the other couldn’t care less about his life or death.

If he endured it, he lived; if he didn’t, he died.

His life, in the other’s eyes, was no different from an ant.

Enveloped in immense fear, Zhang Yi dared not speak again, worried about offending the terrifying figure before him once more.

“Cooperate?”

“You’re worthy of discussing cooperation with me?”

Yuanqi spoke coldly, his visage cruelly twisted, casually forming a water droplet and brutishly tearing off Zhang Yi’s jaw, quickly stuffing the water droplet into Zhang Yi’s mouth.

After a moment, sensing the water droplet taking root within Zhang Yi’s body, Yuanqi nodded satisfactorily and released Zhang Yi.

“Bang!”

Zhang Yi fell to the ground, not caring about his torn-off jaw, quickly kneeling and repetitively kowtowing:

“Spare me, master, spare me!”

“Hmm.”

Yuanqi, looking at Zhang Yi in this state, couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction, then spoke in a calm tone: “Alright, get up.”

With Yuanqi’s approval, Zhang Yi nervously stood up, quietly using the Essence of Flesh and Blood within him to restore his jaw.

“Since you want to trouble Fang Yu, then good.”

“Go to Nanhui City, capture Fang Yu alive, and bring him to me.”

“Rest assured, as long as you capture Fang Yu and bring him to me, I will remove the Water Poison from your body and might even offer you some guidance.”

A cruel smile appeared on Yuanqi’s lips as he pointed at Zhang Yi’s body.

The water droplet he just formed contained Yuanqi’s will; if Zhang Yi dared to act rashly, Yuanqi could detonate the water droplet at any time, causing Zhang Yi’s immediate death.

Water Poison.

Many water-based Transcendents use this tactic. Luu Yuan had seen pirates use it to control others back in the Lighthouse Association.

But who was Yuanqi? His cultivation level was incomparable to ordinary water-based Transcendents.

The Water Poison he released probably couldn’t be detoxified by anyone in the world except those at the pinnacle.

Terrified, Zhang Yi quickly spoke continuously: “I dare not disobey your orders, master, but…”

“Hmm?”

Yuanqi glared, startling Zhang Yi internally.

But he still braced himself and said, “If it’s about killing Fang Yu, then I have some confidence alone. But if it’s capturing Fang Yu alive, I might not have much assurance…”

On this journey, he had already studied Fang Yu’s information.

He knew that Fang Yu’s level was probably comparable to a fully Extraordinary Transcendent Captain.

And this was at the Warship Level. Who knows if Fang Yu would have even greater growth after returning and settling accounts for the mission.

So even Zhang Yi wasn’t entirely confident about capturing Fang Yu alive.

Seeing Yuanqi’s increasingly cold gaze, Zhang Yi felt chills down his spine and quickly said, “It’s not about my life; I’m just afraid of messing up your plans, master. I hope you’ll understand!”

“Hmm…”

Seeing Zhang Yi’s sincere gaze, Yuanqi hesitated slightly, recalling Fang Yu’s ability to escape from him before, and nodded slightly.

“That boy Fang Yu indeed defies common sense. Being more cautious is not an exaggeration.”

“Are you asking me to give you a treasure? Or something else?”

Yuanqi’s eyes gleamed fiercely as he looked at Zhang Yi.

“How dare I ask for your treasure, master? I only wish to ask you, master… to command the Blue Star Consortium under your command to join forces with me in confronting Fang Yu.”

Zhang Yi spoke in a low voice.

“Oh?” Yuanqi smiled playfully: “Have you guessed that I hail from the Peacekeeping Council? And also know that among your so-called Outer Realm Captains, one of the consortiums has already defected to our side?”

Zhang Yi bowed his head even deeper: “Only within the Peacekeeping Council are there such powerful, great people like you, master.”
