Only after taking out those Sea Race Awakened did Butt belatedly say, "Big brother... no, Boss Steel Heart, how can we accept this? Why don't we split the keys from these Otherworld Travelers with you..."
Bai Pu said mildly, "I know what you're thinking. I'm not like Karamango. I'm not the kind of person who takes every benefit for himself.

Bai Pu continued, "I just wasn't sure of the enemy's strength. If multiple Naga Generals had been present, our hard power wouldn't have been enough to handle them, and these fake cannons could at least scare
