Iron Fist Pirates (3)

"Tch, you're asking for trouble. We haven't even arrived yet, how do you know there's no way to open it!" the Little Black Cat snorted.

"That's true, I also have a way to open it," said Little Wolf Langyue.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Fanxin could only give an awkward smile, unsure of what to say.

Ren Fang couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Fanxin's embarrassed expression.

"Alright, you guys get to work. I want to see what that captain is up to in there, setting up a cordon and not letting anyone in." Fanxin shrugged helplessly and said after walking over to Ren Fang.

"Ah, leave it to me!" The Little Black Cat nodded, and with a gentle flick of its paw, it took out a baseball-like stick from the Mechanical Space.

After taking it out, it pressed a few buttons on the stick. Fanxin glanced at it and noticed that it was marked with temperatures, the highest of which reached one hundred million degrees.

He understood what the Little Black Cat was going to do. Was the Little Black Cat planning to melt the iron wall with high temperatures?

Although the iron wall was incredibly strong and unbreakable, it eventually succumbed to the intense heat.

"Come on, let's step back a bit." Fanxin pulled Ren Fang back several meters.

To melt steel, temperatures would need to be at least several thousand degrees Celsius, a temperature they couldn't withstand and would die from the heat. However, the Little Black Cat wasn't afraid; it had its own cooling system, so even the highest temperatures couldn't affect it.

However, Langyue did not back down. It glanced at the Little Black Cat and said, "How long will it take you to finish that? If you can't, then I'll do it!"

"It'll only take a few minutes, don't interfere." The Little Black Cat glared at Langyue and snapped in displeasure.

"Alright, give it your all. If it doesn't work, then I'll do it!" Langyue nodded slightly and then stepped back to Fanxin's side.

The Little Black Cat snorted softly, then immediately raised the temperature to eight thousand degrees. It then touched the rod to the top of the iron wall. Moments later, the extremely high temperature was transmitted to the iron wall.

Under the scorching heat, the spot where the stick touched began to melt first, the Steel Transformation into liquid and slowly flowing downwards. Soon after, a hole the size of a human figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Little Black, that's enough, cool it down immediately," Fanxin shouted. He only needed one opening to enter, because this iron wall was too big, and melting it all would take too much time. He didn't have time to waste with these guys.

"Ah, I understand." Little Black nodded immediately upon hearing this, then took out a cooling rod and cooled down the surrounding area. After a moment, ice blocks could be seen on it.

"Let's go in!" Fanxin took the lead and went inside.

Ren Fang, Langyue, Little Black followed closely behind.

Once inside, Fanxin discovered it was a huge factory, with many people wearing protective shields working inside. Fanxin couldn't see their faces, only their eyes.

He saw helplessness and fear in their eyes. Fanxin knew that these men were not there voluntarily; they were forced to work there because of the captain's immense power.

"Prepare for battle. That captain might be quite capable. We don't want to be caught off guard and end up losing." Fanxin said in a low voice.

"Understood," everyone nodded in response.

"Okay, let's go ask these staff members what's going on here." Fanxin nodded, and then he headed towards the staff members.

Upon reaching the staff, he asked politely, "Excuse me, what are you doing here? Could you please tell us?"

"Child, leave quickly. It's dangerous here. If you stay, you'll be killed. The manager here is a demon. We're forced to work here; we have no choice," said a person wearing a black protective shield. Judging from his voice, he was a man. However, Fanxin couldn't guess his exact age.

"Hehe, don't worry, we're very strong. We won't be easily defeated," Fanxin Xin chuckled and said.

"Ah, I've seen many people who all claimed to be very strong. But they were all defeated and suffered terribly in the end," said the staff member with the black protective shield.

"Hehe, we really are strong! Alright, enough of this nonsense. Tell me quickly, where is this place, and what are you doing here?" Fanxin asked.

"We don't know the specifics. The person in charge here told us to mix various metals with another unidentified liquid in a certain proportion and then send it to his office. After that, we were kicked out. So, to this day, we still don't know what we're doing all this for," the staff member wearing a black protective shield said helplessly.

"Oh, I see. It seems you all know nothing about this either. Well then, we'll be going now. Thanks!" Hearing this, Fanxin waved his hand and led Ren Fang, Little Black, and Langyue forward.

They were very cautious, wary of a possible sneak attack. The mystery surrounding the place made him somewhat uneasy.

"Outsider, you've trespassed on my territory without my permission. Do you know what will happen to you?" Just as Fanxin Xin and the others were searching around, a loud voice suddenly rang out, and everyone in the factory heard it.

Fanxin and the others immediately stopped, because he knew that this was addressed to him.

"I don't know what the outcome will be, but your men attacked me. As the captain, you must come out and apologize to me until I'm satisfied. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to beat you up." Fanxin Xin said without any politeness. He had already offended this pirate crew, so he had nothing to hold back anymore.

"Hmph, kid, you're arrogant. But arrogance comes at a price. Just you wait, I'll use my iron fists to shatter your bones one by one," the owner of the voice said viciously.

"Then come on, stop hiding your true colors, or I'll look down on you," Fanxin said coldly.

"Hmph, what a fool." The owner of the voice snorted lightly, then fell silent. Clearly, he was making preparations.

Meanwhile, Fanxin also began making preparations.

"Ren Fang, Little Black, you two stay far away from here, understand? If you see any opponents coming, launch a sneak attack from behind, don't engage them in close combat," Fanxin said.

Ren Fang and Little Black's strength lies in ranged attacks, although they are also formidable in close combat. However, their opponent is known for having iron fists, so their close-quarters fighting must be extremely formidable. If Little Black and Ren Fang were to engage in close combat, they would be at a disadvantage.

"Ah, I understand," Ren Fang and Little Black nodded.

"Okay, Langyue, you turn all this steel into giant wolves and then cover me," Fanxin said to Langyue beside her.

"Ah, but what about these people? Once the giant wolf appears, they'll have nowhere to go, and innocent people will get hurt." Langyue nodded and said.

"Let's send them all away. They seem reluctant, so let's do them a favor while we're at it," Fanxin said after a moment's thought.

"Understood," Langyue nodded and said.

After that, Fanxin said no more and slowly walked forward.

After walking a dozen steps, he suddenly felt a sense of danger coming from above. He looked up and saw dozens of steel nails falling rapidly from above. If they hadn't noticed, the nails would have pierced their bodies.

"Get out of the way!" Fanxin shouted softly, then shifted his body to avoid the steel nails.

Ren Fang and the others also stepped back and moved aside.

"Hehe, not bad reaction, huh? But how are you going to dodge this?" The owner of the voice chuckled and said. As he spoke, he produced a lot more steel nails, densely covering the entire ceiling. Once those steel nails fell, they would definitely be covered in pincushions.

However, Fanxin wasn't worried about themselves, but rather about the staff members with black passports.

They could easily avoid those steel nails if they put their minds to it. But the workers might not be as agile as them. If they couldn't dodge them, they would be doomed.

"Damn it, with so many people around, how can you do it?" Fanxin shouted angrily.

"Hmph, just a bunch of lowly people. If they die, I can just get another batch. There are people everywhere anyway, I don't need to worry about losing them." The owner of the voice sneered. His voice was cold, as if the lives of so many people were utterly insignificant in his eyes. He saw himself as the Grim Reaper, able to kill whomever he wanted. He had no regard for the feelings of others whatsoever.

Upon hearing Fanxin Xin was so angry that his nose almost twisted. This guy was too cold-blooded; he was practically a cold-blooded animal.

"You bastard, you'll get your comeuppance," Fanxin coldly retorted.

"Heh, I don't believe in that stuff. Countless people have died by my hand, and I haven't suffered any retribution." The owner of the voice laughed. "You care about them a lot, huh? How about we make a deal? You cripple your own hands and feet, and the hands and feet of the people around you. That way, I'll release them. What do you say?"

"Heh, you've got a good idea!" Upon hearing this, Fanxin's face turned cold. This guy was simply a bastard. He was actually threatening them with these innocent lives. However, he absolutely couldn't agree; that bastard was a cold-blooded animal.

He crippled himself and Ren Fang, not only failing to save these innocent people, but also endangering himself and the others.

He had only been at sea for a short time, and the matter was not yet settled. How could he possibly die here like this? What's worse, this guy was too cunning, and he couldn't agree to it even more.

"Hehe, will you agree or not? If you don't agree, they will die, and then it will be too late to save them," the voice said with a laugh.

"I won't agree, but I will still rescue them. At the same time, I have something else to tell you: I've decided that this time I must kill you no matter what. If you were left alive, countless people would suffer your humiliation and torture. You're a monster," Fanxin said coldly.
