After the banquet concluded, the great magnate Rivegaz personally met with him.
"Greetings, my friend, Commander Sun Busong of the Imperial Guard. The previous occasion was not suitable for expressing my gratitude, so now I solemnly thank you and your teammates for the stealthy location of the Blood Sail Pirates fleet. Please accept our thanks!"
After the great magnate Rivegaz finished speaking, he nodded, and the person next to him took out a bag of Gold Coins and handed it to Heavy Fist.
"Then I won't be polite, haha, it's truly a pleasure to cooperate with you. I believe our cooperation and friendship should be long-lasting. We must walk hand in hand to create brilliance together."
This great magnate was a rogue by profession. He wore a well-fitting suit, a tie, and had earrings and a nose ring on his nose and ears.
"Your words are very beautiful, I like them very much. Yes, we must walk hand in hand, hahaha, we must prosper together and unite with sincerity."
The two conversed very harmoniously. During the meeting, Sun Busong made two requests.
The first was that he wanted to buy a residential building in Treasure Bay. The houses in Treasure Bay were all small wooden buildings, some up to five stories. He wanted to buy a three-story one, but the great magnate directly designated a five-story wooden building to sell to him.
The Gold Coins he had just received were gone just like that, but it didn't matter, it was all free money anyway.
The second matter was to have his subordinate, Fizzlepop Finn, gain the great magnate's appreciation and enter the Treasure Bay management team to gain experience. Of course, Sun Busong would invest in some projects in Treasure Bay, and Finn would be the supervisor of these projects.
On this point, the great magnate said he would consider it.
Sun Busong didn't mind, because when the Auction arrived, the great magnate would know that the Imperial Guard's financial resources might not be less than his!
Next, it was the ruler of Treasure Bay's turn to make requests. He first commissioned Sun Busong to complete several tasks for him. Sun Busong agreed without even asking about the content of the tasks, which greatly increased the great magnate's favor towards Sun Busong.
Next was the viewing of songs and dances performed by dwarves and goblin beauties.
The next day, after waking up, Heavy Fist showed Sun Busong the tasks entrusted by the great magnate.
The great magnate's subordinate, Ragazban, discovered the ghosts of a Water Elemental and a Goblin Mage on an island.
If there were indeed the ghosts of a Water Elemental and a Goblin Mage on the island, it would mean that Tidal Stones could be mined there!
The great magnate hoped that Sun Busong could find this haunted island and see what was going on there. Oh, and if he really found any Tidal Stones, he asked Sun Busong to bring some back for him.
This island was very mysterious. The great magnate had already sent many people to investigate, but none of them had ever returned safely.
"Boss, is this island cursed? Why has no one who went to the island ever returned?" Heavy Fist was very worried. This task had been circulating in Treasure Bay for a long time. Legend had it that it was cursed, and anyone who went there would die and turn into a puddle of water.
"What are you afraid of? We can let Xiu Ma go up and check first!" Sun Busong said this without batting an eye.
Heavy Fist slowly turned his head and looked at Xiu Ma, who was happily gnawing on a raptor tail on the ground. Xiu Ma felt someone looking at it, so it held its tail in its mouth, raised its head, and met Heavy Fist's gaze.
What! You want to eat too? Go catch your own!
Heavy Fist rubbed his bull horns with his hoof. It had to be Xiu Ma! Was he going himself?
That day, Sun Busong prepared to head to the small island with Xiu Ma. Heavy Fist's recent tasks were mining, herbalism, and skinning.
He first took an airship to the Brotherhood camp, distributed the wine and meat brought from Treasure Bay to these brothers, and then rode his horse towards the small island. Even from there, he rode for five hours before reaching the vicinity of the island.
Standing by the seaside, he could see the island from afar. Sun Busong took out his equipment, the Water Vine!
Last time, he had intended to use the Water Vine to complete Whiskey Slim's commission, but he ended up meeting Finn of the Blood Sail Pirates and drinking with a group of fiery Blood Sail Mage beauties all night. Sigh! He had to find time to see if they were still there.
After equipping the Water Vine, Sun Busong entered the sea.
Stranglethorn Vale was raining again, making the water in the sea unclear. However, he had a flash of inspiration and grabbed Xiu Ma's tail. Not only was the speed incredibly fast, but he didn't have to exert any effort himself.
When he swam to the deep sea, it was no longer raining. The seabed was very clear, and he could see fish, coral, and seaweed clearly.
This was Sun Busong's first time seeing the seabed. He hadn't had such an opportunity in his previous life.
Xiu Ma was also a freak. The person who modified it had made Xiu Ma unafraid of seawater! And its swimming speed was very fast. If he could return to his original world, Sun Busong would definitely find the person from the forum and beat him up severely.
But now he didn't have time to think about those things. Appreciating the scenery before him was the most important thing.
Xiu Ma in the water no longer looked like a lion; it was a sea lion!
Sun Busong held its tail, being tossed around by it. Now it was chasing a big fish. This fish was over a meter long, its scales were all colorful, and its speed was very fast. Xiu Ma's speed was not bad either. Sun Busong enjoyed this feeling, like riding a roller coaster! No, it was much more exciting than that!
When Xiu Ma lost interest in the colorful fish, it was taken to a trench. The species here were also very numerous, with all sorts of large crabs and large snails!
In short, everything Sun Busong saw was much larger than the seafood he usually saw.
After playing in the sea for about three hours, he reluctantly directed Xiu Ma to move towards the island.
He finally reached the vicinity of the island. He didn't immediately go to inspect it but ordered Xiu Ma to go onto the island.
The island was not large. There were a few giant banana trees on it, as well as some water elementals about a foot tall. The Lesser Water Elementals covering the ground would be fatal to anyone with trypophobia if they saw them.
Sun Busong soaked in the seawater for more than ten minutes. After confirming that Xiu Ma was fine, he slowly climbed ashore.
If it were truly a curse, he wouldn't worry. His backpack contained many powerful potions, and dispelling curses was as easy as playing a game. He was mainly worried about encountering some strange and peculiar curses.
For example, the Petrified Lizards in the Crystal Mine Cave. He had heard that those lizards were extremely sinister. If one was not careful, they would be turned into stone by a beam of light!
If he went alone and happened to be petrified, he would be finished. He wouldn't even be able to drink his potions if he was petrified! Therefore, he had to carefully consider killing that rare lizard.
He had Xiu Ma kill a few Lesser Water Elementals, then waited to see if the curse would be triggered by killing water elementals. As a result, Xiu Ma was fine. Then he killed a few himself, and nothing happened.
Finding that nothing happened to him, Sun Busong began to attack the Lesser Water Elementals here. These water elementals were all level 37, and killing one gave 8 Slaughter Value! Moreover, the density of water elementals on this island was too high; he would step on one almost every step he took.
Sun Busong directly took out his Engineering bombs and began to farm Slaughter Value. These water elementals seemed to have been summoned. Every time he killed a batch, these water elementals would quickly revive and respawn!
After killing about a thousand of them, a figure suddenly burst out from behind him.
"Damn thing, I've tolerated you for half a day! You've killed so many of my water elementals, why aren't you leaving yet? My magic is almost depleted by you!"
Sun Busong dodged his attack and then carefully sized up the sneak attacker.
This was a Goblin Mage! His name was Gazban.
Sun Busong had originally wanted to ask him other things, but this Goblin Mage didn't give him any chance. A spell was quickly chanted from his mouth.
Then the entire small island was covered in ice.
"Frostwave!"
This was a large-area ice magic. Sun Busong's feet were directly frozen in place, and the damage from this spell wasn't a one-time hit but continuous. Every five seconds, Sun Busong would lose 130 health.
Xiu Ma was also frozen, but this guy didn't seem to be losing health!
"I think we can talk. I don't mean any harm. I just wanted to explore here and leave," Sun Busong couldn't escape his frozen state for now. He checked his status, and it didn't show any curse.
"There's nothing to talk about, gaga gaga gaga. My spell will freeze you for 230 health every 5 seconds, and my spell lasts for ten minutes. After ten minutes, no matter how much health you have, you'll die here!"
The Goblin Mage was very arrogant, but he had the right to be. This frozen state could only be dispelled by a profession with a dispelling skill. Otherwise, even if you were a level 60 elite, you couldn't withstand it for ten minutes.
However, Sun Busong wasn't afraid. He hadn't even taken out any potions. Since the other party didn't want to negotiate, the best attitude for him was to resist sternly! Kill!
Ten minutes were almost up. The Goblin Mage Gazban's eyes and mouth were wide open. He really couldn't understand why a level 29 Warrior, who had lost nearly thirty thousand health, was still alive.
Time's up!
The magic that had frozen Sun Busong was released. Sun Busong shook off the ice shards, stomped his feet, and then showed Gazban a brilliant smile.
Charge!
With a whoosh, Sun Busong rushed in front of Gazban, and his axe swung out.
The expected instant kill didn't happen. Under Sun Busong's bewildered expression, Gazban turned into a puddle of water and merged into the ground. Soon, he merged with a nearby Lesser Water Elemental!
"Hahahaha. You're really strong, the strongest Warrior I've ever seen. Although I can't kill you, can you kill me? See? The thousands upon thousands of Water Elementals on this island, they are all my body. Can you kill all the Water Elementals here?"
Arrogant laughter echoed across the entire island. Sun Busong could no longer distinguish which Water Elemental was the one merged with Gazban.
The other party couldn't do anything to him, but now he couldn't kill the other party either!
Xiu Ma ran over from a distance and licked Sun Busong's hand, snapping him out of his daze.
Letting the other party go like this wasn't Sun Busong's style. If his health bar hadn't been long enough just now, he would have died long ago.
Looking at the dense Lesser Water Elementals on the ground, Sun Busong fell into thought. He wondered if any of his professional skills could eliminate all the Water Elementals here in one blow.
But how could such a thing be possible!
Just as he felt helpless and was about to pretend to have a stomachache and let the other party go, an Equipment suddenly rang out in his mind.
Mary's Glasses!
"Hahahaha!"
His laughter made all the Lesser Water Elementals on the island stop moving and look in his direction.
Mary's Glasses could see through things. These Water Elementals had no physical bodies or skeletons, but the Goblin Master did.
Soon, Sun Busong found Mary's Glasses in his backpack. After he put on the glasses, everything in front of him changed. The dense Lesser Water Elementals all disappeared.
He could see huge trees, shells on the beach, reefs not far away, hehehe! He could also see the Goblin Mage hiding behind a large tree!
Charge!
This time, the Goblin Mage was stunned directly.
"Spare me, please spare me! I am a great Goblin Mage. If you let me go, I'll give you all my treasure. Without me, you'll never find the treasure!"
Sun Busong laughed!
Can't find it? Do you think the glasses I'm wearing are just for decoration? I caught you, do you think the treasure can escape me!
He had endured the other party for so long. Even if he couldn't get the treasure, it didn't matter. He had to vent his anger.
Amidst the other party's desperate pleas, Sun Busong chopped off his head. The moment the head fell to the ground, Sun Busong's ears became quiet!
The Goblin Mage didn't have anything valuable. Sun Busong packed up his corpse and head, then began slaughtering Water Elementals on the island. While gaining Slaughter Value, he used Mary's Glasses to search for the Goblin Mage's treasure.
Two hours later, Sun Busong had killed over a thousand Water Elementals and found the Goblin Mage's treasure in a cave at the bottom of the island.
There were 7 large chests, all locked. But this was no problem for him. Large Salt Bomb was a standard item in his backpack.
Opening the first chest, it was filled with various rare ores, including Arcane Crystal and Mithril.
The second chest contained money, Gold Coins, a full chest, estimated to be around twenty thousand.
Next was the third chest, filled with various herbs. Among them, he found six Black Lotuses. Black Lotus was the most important and rarest material in Alchemy.
The fourth chest was also filled with Gold Coins.
The fifth chest contained a Weapon.
Soulbreaker (Purple Epic):
Item Level 60
Two-handed Axe
95 - 143 Damage Speed 2.10
(Damage Per Second: 56.7)
Durability: 120 / 120
Required Level: 55
On Hit: May deal 200 to 300 damage to the target and reduce their Intelligence by 25 points for 30 seconds.
It's actually a purple epic-grade two-handed battle axe!
However, Sun Busong lifted the axe in his hand, compared it, and shook his head.
"Let's just auction it off. It doesn't feel that powerful."
After tossing it into his backpack, he then opened the sixth chest. It was still Gold Coins.
It was time for the seventh chest. Sun Busong was shocked by what was inside after opening it.
Inside a huge chest, there was only one ring!
