The armed ship continuously launched black columns around the keel.
Soon, dozens of floating pillars surrounded the sea area near the keel.
After deployment, the armed ship anchored in the middle of the sea.
The subordinate replied, "Everything is ready."
Qin Ze blinked.
They clearly came prepared; they weren't just attacking blindly.
The manager nodded. "Begin."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately relayed the order via token.
"We can begin."
Buzzing--
As soon as he finished speaking, the armed ship emitted a piercing sound wave.
The noise was so loud that even Qin Ze had to cover his ears.
Splash~ Splash~ Splash~
The sea, surrounded by black pillars, suddenly boiled.
One after another, sea monsters surfaced, flocking to the armed ships.
The number was only a quarter of what it was when they fought Qin Ze and his men, but the sailors on the ship still felt their scalps tingle.
Seeing this, the manager's lips curled into a smile, "It really worked."
Qin Ze gazed at the boiling sea.
Just as he suspected, the manager wanted to take them all down at once.
The armed ship started up and began circling on the sea.
The sea monsters behind them resembled a large group of perverted tram riders, following closely behind.
Just then, the ball of light appeared in front of the armed ship.
The manager's eyes lit up.
"They're here!"
"Quick start device!"
The dozens of black pillars that were thrown onto the sea surface vibrated continuously.
Immediately afterwards, transparent circular barriers radiated outward from the center of each black pillar.
The adjacent barriers merged immediately upon contact, and soon a massive barrier enveloped the sea area surrounding the keel.
The manager leaped into the air and excitedly rushed towards the barrier.
"Let's see where you run to today!"
The ball of light sensed something amiss and immediately dived into the sea.
But the next second, it leaped out of the water and crashed into the transparent barrier.
The barrier was incredibly sturdy; despite repeated impacts, it didn't develop a single crack.
Seeing the manager unhindered as he stepped into the barrier's area, the ball of light grew increasingly agitated, its collisions becoming more and more frequent.
Qin Ze clicked his tongue in amazement.
The company prepared quite a lot of things.
It seems that the barrier not only blocked the surface of the sea, but also the waters beneath it.
The light cluster is now trapped, with nowhere to go but nowhere to go either.
Meanwhile, within the barrier, the movement speed of the light clusters visibly slowed down.
If he was as slippery as an eel when fighting Qin Ze before, now he's as slow as a snail.
The manager Yangyang, "I specially created this gravity field just for you."
"You chased me relentlessly last time, but you ran away the moment I made a move."
"Run one more for me, will you?"
The ball of light also realized its predicament; the barrier was difficult to break through.
Instead of crashing into the barrier, it charged straight at the manager.
Bang--
The main guns of the armed ship opened fire.
It Precision hit the slowly moving ball of light.
The ball of light was thrown into the sea by the shockwave of the explosion, and its light began to dim.
A few seconds later, the light disappeared completely, and a strange fish with a light bulb on its head and a bright red body lay on the surface of the sea.
"Thank you for extracting the Sea Serpent King's corpse."
"Now it's all mine."
The manager grinned, holding a curved knife, and slowly walked towards the bulb fish.
The sea creatures were all circling the armed ship, and not a single one came to its aid.
The light bulb on the bulbfish's head flashed, and its body began to grow larger little by little.
Suddenly, it became even bigger than Little White.
The armed ship fired from several cannons simultaneously, and a barrage of bullets struck the bulbfish, leaving one side of its body mangled Flesh and Blood.
Qin Ze shook his head.
They're too fragile.
They don't even need to be of the same level; a C-level alien beast could easily overturn an armed ship by now.
The bulbfish wanted to get close to the armed ship, but its current speed was only good enough to consume exhaust fumes.
After countless rounds of bombardment, the bulb fish's massive body slammed heavily onto the sea surface.
The manager, wielding a curved knife, suddenly appeared from the sky, entering the bulb fish from the left and exiting from the right.
When he came out again, he was holding a blue bead the size of a fist.
Meanwhile, the bulb fish was already barely breathing.
The fishing operation has ended.
The armed ship stopped emitting sound waves.
The "perverts" instantly transformed into "violent freaks" and launched an attack on the armed ship.
The firepower on the armed ship was not to be underestimated; it quickly drove back the sea monsters and then retrieved the black pillars one by one.
Captain Hook looked at the ship with great envy. "That's incredible!"
"This ship is worthy of my status as a true Captain and naval commander."
Qin Ze said calmly, "Don't worry, they're all ours."
Shortly afterward, the manager, soaking wet and looking excited, returned to the island.
Qin Ze deliberately moved closer to him, preparing to "steal" all the Source of the World.
Strangely, however, the key did not provide any clues.
"Begin the blood sacrifice immediately!"
The manager wiped the water off his face, clearly impatient.
Qin Ze then noticed that he was carrying a square brown box under his arm.
"Did the box block the key's detection?"
Qin Ze raised an eyebrow, seemingly having found the answer.
The box doesn't seem to be an ordinary object either.
"Don't you need to take your things out?" Qin Ze asked, feigning concern.
The manager shook his head. "No need. The box is a container. Blood sacrifice is used to transform the contents inside. Otherwise, what would we use to hold it after the refining is complete?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you, so quickly activate the formation."
This is troublesome.
Qin Ze scratched his head.
How can I reclaim the Source of the World if you don't open the box?
What are you spacing out about?
"Take me to the formation quickly."
Seeing Qin Ze's stunned expression, the manager frowned.
Qin Ze pointed ahead. "The formation is over there."
The manager was filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest and didn't think much of it, quickly walking in the direction Qin Ze was pointing.
More than 30 armed men remained where they were and did not follow.
Everyone felt that today's task was over and was already talking about where to go and have fun after receiving the bonus.
No one noticed that Qin Ze was sneaking around behind the manager, looking like he had something ulterior motive.
"I'm rich! I'm rich!"
"So many Source of the World are being resold on the Myriad Races Black Market!"
"You shit shipping company, I'm never working for you again!"
The manager's entire body trembled with excitement from every pore.
Pfft--
A sudden, sharp pain shot through his lower back, and the manager's smile vanished abruptly.
He slowly turned around, clutching the box, and saw a dagger stuck in his waist.
" Wang Laoliu, are you going to betray us?"
The manager looked at Wang Laoliu in disbelief.
The Laoliu was someone he had personally trained.
Even if his wife betrayed him, he wouldn't believe that Wang Laoliu would betray him.
Qin Ze helplessly spread his hands. "You forced me to do this. If I had a choice, I would want to be a good person."
The manager smirked, "Good guy my ass!"
" Wang Laoliu, you've forgotten who you are after drinking some horse piss, haven't you?"
Qin Ze rubbed his face, reverting to the expression he had before setting sail.
The manager's eyes widened. "It's you!"
"Go for it!"
Just then, there was a commotion in the woods.
Forty or fifty men wearing beast masks rushed out with strange cries.
