"Is this the place?"
Outside Pirate Bay Tavern, the street bustled with people.
Luoyu glanced at the map and photo on his VM screen, then compared them with the storefront before him. His eyes gradually lit up with excitement.
There was no mistake!

"Xiaoyu, let's go!"
"Eeyoo!"
After confirming the target, Luoyu immediately pushed open the door and walked inside.
The ten figures behind him, wrapped from head to toe in exoskeletons, followed him through the open door.
They were all Xiaoyu's offspring. They had no independent consciousness and shared a single mind with the mother nest, functioning as Xiaoyu's hands and eyes.
