Chapter 133: Chapter 133: The Unscrupulous Will Meet Retribution

What’s the origin of this thing?

Could it be her secret weapon?

Shang Jia and Yuan Fei both became guarded at the same time, and after seeing the wariness in each other’s eyes, they couldn’t help but be startled.

"This thing isn’t yours?"

Shang Jia asked with furrowed brows.

Apart from Yuan Fei, who else could be so cunning?

Yuan Fei couldn’t be bothered with Shang Jia, knowing full well what that bitch was thinking, as if she herself were so moral.

What annoyed her the most about the Demon Dragon Pirates was this very point; they always acted like they were the victims, as if they were the most innocent in the whole world.

If they were innocent, then this world would have no villains.

However, if this mechanical creature was neither hers nor something Shang Jia concocted, then who could it be?

Numerous suspicious names flashed through Yuan Fei’s mind; anyone capable of producing a mechanical creation of such level must be from the Mechanical Association.

She doesn’t seem to have any beef with the Mechanical Association, on the contrary, she recently bought quite a few weapons from them due to the war with Ye Xing.

Other forces... Jerome?

Jerome is dead, and his subordinates are even less capable than he was, hardly a threat.

To be honest, apart from herself, Yuan Fei really couldn’t think of anyone else who could be that simultaneously shady and smart.

The old immortals on Diamond Island are poisonous enough, but they lack brains, stupid and venomous, they couldn’t have anticipated her and Shang Jia’s simultaneous arrival here to set up a trap in advance.

Ever since that cleansing operation against the Demon Dragon Pirates, Yuan Fei had hardly faced Shang Jia head-on.

She had always been committed to making things unpleasant for Shang Jia in various ways.

Once, the entire Demon Dragon Pirate Group was trapped in an uninhabited sea area, and they were forced into starvation by Yuan Fei, nearly dying of hunger.

This situation persisted for half a month until Shang Jia finally broke through.

For a pirate group of the Demon Dragon’s level, such a situation was almost impossible, but Yuan Fei made it happen.

In terms of cunning and ruthlessness, no pirate in the Deep Blue Sea could match Yuan Fei; if not for the strength of the Demon Dragon Pirates and Shang Jia at the helm, they really would have been played to death by her.

If Yuan Fei had Shang Jia’s strength, then perhaps the Scarlet Sea Domain would need to dispatch someone to the Deep Blue Sea for cleanup.

However, Yuan Fei probably isn’t that foolish.

Slave Islands scattered across various sea domains have always been rumored to truly be under Yuan Fei’s control as the behind-the-scenes mastermind.

That notorious slave trader is nothing but her puppet.

While Yuan Fei and Shang Jia were frantically thinking about who sent the Sword Dance Mantis, the Blood Spirit beside them was selectively ignored by the two of them.

The neglected Blood Spirit was frenziedly devouring the Extraordinary Treasure Fish from the breeding grounds, continuously growing stronger.

What it most wanted to eat was actually Shang Jia, followed by Yuan Fei.

In terms of strength, Yuan Fei was slightly inferior to Shang Jia.

However, Blood Spirit had learned to behave after being brutally beaten by Chen Qing; it needed to eat voraciously whenever it could, as nobody knew when the next meal would be.

Once it was satiated, the first thing it would do was break free from Chen Qing’s control and kill her.

A 99.99% chance of killing its master is no joke.

The Blood Spirit was naturally rebellious and never submitted to anyone; it would only lie dormant temporarily.

Yet, its insatiable greed destined it for failure, never knowing when to be content.

As the Blood Spirit was strengthening itself, the figure of the Sword Dance Mantis had already appeared between Shang Jia and Yuan Fei.

Without any hesitation, the sickle swung into action; Shang Jia raised her hand to intercept, while Yuan Fei immediately launched a spiritual attack, showing an unspoken coordination between the two.

However, one was repelled by the Sword Dance Mantis, the other nearly perished from backlash from the Sword Dance Mantis’s Mechanical Core.

An A-level mechanical creation, even if a factory product, was no laughing matter.

At this stage, neither Shang Jia nor Yuan Fei were a match for it, let alone when facing the Sword Dance Mantis that had entered the mode where everyone except itself was an enemy.

Even if Chen Qing were here, there would have been no way for her to take it, instead, she would have been decisively killed by the Sword Dance Mantis.

It has to be said that Chen Qing’s decision to throw the Sword Dance Mantis and Blood Spirit out there to torment each other was very clear.

If Chen Qing had been with these two creatures, she would have been the first one to be killed off.

"This thing is a bit tricky,"

Shang Jia frowned tightly, for the first time contemplating the idea of turning around and fleeing.

Who the hell released this thing!

Chen Qing, who was cursed as the heartless ghost by Shang Jia, was also facing her karma at the moment.

Thus, one should do more good deeds, otherwise, they will be haunted by a freak like Cross Star.

These damn things killed all of Chen Qing’s prey.

"There’s no need to thank us too much, new pal."

Silver Light, carrying a cannon on one shoulder, waved cheerfully at Chen Qing with a grin.

Chen Qing, looking at the Blue Sea Star Flower Jellyfish that were blasted into nothingness, not a single one left, couldn’t help but clench her fists.

Chen Qing’s rank on the leaderboard had already entered the top ten with the efforts of Blood Spirit, but it was still a bit short of the top five and not very stable.

If she had killed all these Star Flower Jellyfish, she would have been confident about claiming the first place.

There were not a few Star Flower Jellyfish; given some time, she could kill them all.

By killing them, Chen Qing would have gained a large number of points, as well as a significant amount of gemstones, and also the experience of a fighter.

Besides being a Mechanic, Chen Qing’s main focus was developing the fighter profession.

She was about to break through to an Advanced Senior Blade Master.

But now, Cross Star had ruined everything.

As the instigators, they even had the audacity to "take credit" with cheeky grins, tossing gemstones plucked from the innards of the Star Flower Jellyfish up and down in their hands.

"..."

Chen Qing raised her head to look at the four members of Cross Star, in her eyes, these people were already dead.

"Don’t look at me like that, it scares me,"

Silver Light melodramatically clutched her chest, her gaze toward Chen Qing filled with poorly veiled malice.

She genuinely disliked Chen Qing more than Liu Jin because Chen Qing had killed A Zhiqiu.

He admitted that he was deliberately provoking Chen Qing, but what could Chen Qing do about it?

Kill him?

She couldn’t do that.

For Silver Light’s actions, Shine was happy to see it unfold; their group of psychos enjoyed seeing people like Chen Qing explode with emotion.

It gave them a sense of achievement and an extremely perverse and secret sensation.

Although Chen Qing was a bit angry about what Silver Light had done, it wasn’t enough to cause her any significant emotional fluctuations.

There’s no point in arguing with the dead.

"New pal, let me show you something good, how about that?"

Silver Light lifted the cannon with a smile, aimed at Chen Qing, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The expected explosion didn’t occur, and Chen Qing was not surprised.

Whether Silver Light’s weapon, a mechanical creation, had ammunition or not and whether it would produce power, Chen Qing could still judge.

But...

A virtual screen unfolded in front of Chen Qing, and shockingly, it displayed Huan Cai, who Cross Star hadn’t been able to reach.

As well as a bunch of children Huan Cai had caught.

Not only humans but the young of the Sea Clan, the Wood Clan, the Beast Clan... Huan Cai had caught them all.
