Making Arrangements (1)

"I see, no wonder he told us to leave earlier, so that's why." Langyue nodded in understanding.

"Alright, let's wait here. This sandstorm isn't going to stop anytime soon. As long as the sandstorm doesn't stop, Fanxin won't dare to come out," Ren Fang said. "Langyue, have those giant wolves bring the staff back. It's safe here now."

"Ah, I understand." Langyue nodded and immediately activated his power to summon his giant wolves. Before long, countless giant wolves rushed in from the distant sky and quickly arrived in front of Langyue.

The giant air wolf was transparent, so they could see the staff inside its body. At that moment, they were all sitting on the ground, looking around with a mixture of envy and surprise in their eyes.

Clearly, they were also astonished by Langyue's abilities.

"This is an endless sea, what should we do!" Langyue asked. It couldn't release those people on the sea, because there was nowhere for them to step. They would fall into the water.

Ren Fang pondered for a moment, then said to the Little Black Cat, "Little Black, get the boat moving right away, and then add some wide, thin iron plates around it. That way, they'll have a place to land."

"Okay, but then our ship won't be able to move. What should we do then?" the Little Black Cat said, somewhat troubled.

The boat was surrounded by iron plates, and people were standing on top of those plates. The pressure was so great that it would be very difficult for the boat to move. It could probably move a short distance by concentrating all its energy. However, once the power was used up, it would have to recharge the boat, and recharging takes a very long time.

They can't stay here for too long because there are dangerous creatures in the sea. They themselves are strong enough to be fine. However, these unarmed staff members are in trouble.

They'll have to deal with the sea monsters and take care of the staff, which will be very difficult.

"Ah, let them out for a while. The air inside won't last much longer. If they stay in there any longer, they'll suffocate," Ren Fang said, her brow furrowing slightly.

She knew this was a problem, but they had destroyed the ship, leaving the staff without a vessel. They couldn't just abandon these people at sea; that simply wouldn't do.

"There's no need to worry about that. I made holes in the air wolves to allow the air inside them to circulate with the outside. They can live inside for a long time without any problems," Langyue suddenly said. "Heh, if they were going to suffocate, they would have died long ago."

"Oh, I see. That puts my mind at ease." Ren Fang nodded slightly and said, "Let's get the boats up first. But don't bother with the surrounding iron plates. Let them stay inside the giant air wolf. Since they won't suffocate, they should be fine inside."

Their boat wasn't particularly large; it could comfortably house a dozen or so people. However, the number of staff was over a hundred, almost two hundred. Their boat simply couldn't hold them all. That's why she had Little Black load the iron plates.

However, now that the giant air wolf can provide them with a safe haven, there's no need for them to do anything unnecessary.

"Ah, I understand." Nodding, the Little Black Cat immediately took action and brought the ship up from the seabed.

After the shield was opened, they all returned to the ship, while the air giant wolf stayed near the ship.

"Hey, are you hungry? If you are, I can make you something to eat," Ren Fang shouted at the staff inside the giant air wolves. Her voice was loud, and everyone heard her.

Upon hearing this, the staff nodded slightly, indicating that they were a little hungry.

Upon hearing this, Ren Fang immediately went to prepare food, and Langyue and Little Black also went to help. This time, they had to cook for more than a hundred people; a few helpers like Mei and Ou wouldn't be enough.

After working for almost two hours, they finally finished preparing the meal.

Just as they were about to feed the food into the giant air wolf, the tornado slowly disappeared, and Fanxin was completely freed. He rode the water wolf and quickly arrived at the ship. Then, he jumped onto the ship.

"Ah, you're finally back. You must be hungry. There's a delicious meal ready for you," Ren Fang said with a smile when she saw Fanxin.

"Ah, I'm a little hungry too. Did you make so much for those people to eat?" Fanxin nodded slightly and asked.

"Yes, they don't seem to have eaten much; they all say they're hungry. So, I had to start cooking." Ren Fang gave a wry smile and said, "But with so many people, we don't have much food left. What should we do?"

There were only a few of them, and the food on the ship could last them for ten days to half a month. However, this time, food was prepared for more than 180 people, which used a lot of ingredients.

Food was running low on the ship. And this was only one meal; they wouldn't have anything for the second meal. If these staff members weren't settled quickly, they would starve.

"Let's finish this meal first. After that, we'll immediately go find an island inhabited by humans and settle them there," Fanxin said. "We're going out to sea; we can't take them with us."

"Ah, but they're all carrying poison, so what should we do?" Ren Fang said with some difficulty.

She overheard the manipulator of the steel saying that these people didn't have long to live. This worried her greatly; if they rescued the workers only to have them die afterwards, wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain?

"Sigh, I don't know either. Let's just take it one step at a time!" Fanxin sighed helplessly upon hearing this. He wasn't a doctor and couldn't save them. So, he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

However, if he encounters a doctor on the road, he will ask them to treat him.

"Oh, right, Little Black, did you find any gold coins when you were looting the front of the ship? If so, don't use them as steel; we're out of money and need to use them," Fanxin said.

He didn't have many gold coins, which wouldn't be a problem if it was just for their own survival. However, now that they had suddenly increased their numbers so much, his gold coins were far from enough. Therefore, he had to get more gold coins.

"Oh, don't worry, Ren Fang told me everything, I kept it." The Little Black Cat nodded and said.

"How much is there?" Fanxin asked.

"Hmm, that's over 20,000 gold coins in total. Those guys must have robbed quite a few people," the Little Black Cat said.

"Ah, that's good. Alright, let's eat. After we finish eating, we'll get going immediately; time is of the essence." Fanxin nodded. Twenty thousand gold coins would be enough for them for a while.

"Okay, you go eat first. We still have food to deliver, so you can eat later." The Little Black Cat nodded.

Then, without hesitation, it brought large bowls of vegetables and rice into the giant air wolf. Then, it provided many spoons and bowls for them to eat on their own.

Afterwards, it returned to the restaurant and dined with Fanxin and the others.

"Fanxin, what about that guy? Is he dead?" the Little Black Cat asked. That guy's sneak attack on Fanxin had annoyed it greatly, and it really wanted to kill him. Unfortunately, it couldn't get close enough and could only sigh helplessly.

"No, that guy got caught in the sandstorm and we don't know where he's been blown off to," Fanxin said, immediately shaking his head.

"Ah, that guy is so wicked. If he were alive, I wonder how many more people would suffer at his hands," the Little Black Cat said with annoyance. That guy's heart is evil, his blood is cold, and wherever he goes, he will be a villain. Wherever such a villain goes, disaster will follow. It was truly worried about those who were about to be tortured by that guy.

"Yes, but if he still wants to commit further evil deeds, it won't be so easy." Fanxin nodded, then said with a smile.

"Oh, why is that?" Ren Fang asked curiously.

"Because I've taken away his Iron Fist, his abilities will be greatly reduced. After his strength is greatly reduced, how dare he be so arrogant and domineering! Unless he's courting death," Fanxin said.

Fanxin was quite certain that the guy wasn't very strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have been hiding in the shadows manipulating everything. If he were strong enough, he could have easily come out and fought him one-on-one.

The fact that he didn't dare to come out only shows that the opponent's strength wasn't enough. The reason he was able to build a pirate crew must be because of that golden liquid. Without that liquid, he believed that Little Black could probably still take care of the opponent.

"You took it! What's that? Can we see it?" the Little Black Cat asked expectantly.

"Sigh, I originally wanted to give it to you. But that guy burrowed into my body without my permission, and I can't get it out no matter what I do," Fanxin said helplessly. "Little Black, why don't you use your Mechanical Eye to take a look and see if there are any changes inside my body?"

The Mechanical Eye has a penetrating function, and he believed that Little Black's Mechanical Eye should be able to see through his body and clearly see what that ball of golden liquid was doing inside his body.

"Ah, okay." The Little Black Cat nodded, immediately activated its Mechanical Eye, and then observed Fanxin's body.

Soon, the entire interior of Fanxin's body was revealed before its eyes; nothing escaped its gaze—not bones, not organs, not even cells. The golden liquid was also naturally captured by its sight.

The golden liquid clung to Fanxin 'Fanxin bones, completely enveloping them, its purpose unknown. To get a clearer view, the Little Black Cat activated its Mechanical Eye to its maximum power, observing from minute angles.
