"Buzz!"

One pirate ship after another sped in from a distance, soon surrounding this area.

No... It should be said, they surrounded a few Blue Star Captains.

A group of pirates with malicious smiles eyed the few Blue Star Captains in front of them.

"Brother Rong, more fat sheep? Good, the previous few fetched a nice price, even after repairing the sea ships, they sold well. This deal is quite lucrative."

The leading pirate, most of whose body was modified with alchemical technology, looked like a monster composed of flesh and machinery, grinned as he looked at everyone in front of him.

The pirates behind him each let out strange cries, echoing between the sea ships.

"The previous few fat sheep?"

The few Blue Star Captains' faces changed, and upon hearing this, they instinctively looked towards Brother Rong.

"It was those previous fat sheep."

Brother Rong laughed casually, "You Outer Realm Captains, you come to help me do things, and after I'm done with you, I sell you off. Not only do I get a good price, but I also don't have to pay your transport fees."

"Speaking of which, I quite like using Outer Realm Captains, not only cheap but also can earn me an extra buck."

"By the way, some of the previous Outer Realm Captains have been marked with slave marks. Now, they are either slaves in some tribe or sent to the front lines as cannon fodder."

"You are not the first batch, nor will you be the last."

Upon hearing Brother Rong's words, even the crew of the Salted Fish turned slightly pale.

Fang Yu reached out, signaling everyone to stay calm with his eyes.

In the forum, someone posts a rescue message almost every day.

But strangely, nobody usually clicks on such distress posts.

The goal for these Blue Star Captains to enter the forum is to find helpful information for themselves, not to see who is imprisoned or who needs help.

So what if they see it? No one is willing to do thankless rescues.

This has led to... much hidden malice towards the Blue Star Captains not being perceived or the corresponding clues being obtained by most Blue Star Captains.

The scene before us is an example.

At this moment, a group of pirates surrounded the few Blue Star Captains and let out eerie chuckles.

While including Fang Yu, the native captains steered their ships aside, watching coldly.

The few native captains, as if accustomed to such scenes, didn't care at all.

The Vice President's line of the Ji Clan Trading Association has intricate ties with the Lighthouse Association, a platform that issues information to pirates.

Brother Rong could easily mobilize pirate forces.

After seeing the pirate leader have a quick chat with Brother Rong, he was about to order an attack on the surrounded Blue Star Captains.

But just then, the pirate leader's gaze instinctively swept over the native captains around him and glanced briefly at the Salted Fish.

"Beep beep beep beep!"

At this moment, the pirate leader's two Alchemy义 eyes suddenly emitted a beeping sound, then burst into bright red light that fell fiercely on Fang Yu's Salted Fish.

Under this beam of scanning light, the illusion of the Salted Fish began to dissolve, revealing its original form.

"Brother Rong, there's an Outer Realm Captain lurking in your cargo ship!"

The pirate leader suddenly shouted, staring fixedly at the Salted Fish before him.

Upon hearing the pirate leader's words, everyone was shocked, and their gazes instinctively fell on the Salted Fish.

Immediately, under the special scanning abilities of the Alchemy义 eyes, everyone saw the original form of the Salted Fish.

Evidently, it was the very distinct sea ship of an Outer Realm Captain; how could it be an old captain's cargo ship?!

Seeing this scene, Brother Rong was both shocked and angry: "You're an Outer Realm Captain? What are you lurking in my fleet for? No, wait!"

At this point, Brother Rong's gaze fell firmly on Fang Yu, then pointed at him, shouting, "I recognize you, you're the guy who sent Wang Chen in."

"Alright, the Vice President felt you were a hidden danger, probably planning something against him, and so you were waiting here?!"

"Quick! Run him down! We can't let him go back alive. He has seen our entire delivery process and knows the customers' location. If we let him escape, we're finished!"

Brother Rong was anxious, immediately ordering the pirates to swiftly close in and surround the Salted Fish.

"Damn it!"

On the Salted Fish, Fang Yu and the crew felt like cursing. Who could have imagined the pirate leader capable of seeing through the Salted Fish's disguise?

This led to the Salted Fish being directly implicated.

Without a word, Fang Yu, upon being discovered, attempted to steer the Salted Fish down a side route to charge out.

But just as the Salted Fish was about to move, a few native old captains realized Fang Yu's intention, and without a word, steered their sea ships to block Fang Yu's path.

They were in league with Brother Rong.

To take on such shady business, getting exposed was the greatest fear.

At this moment, the interests of these native captains were deeply tied to Brother Rong's, so naturally, they wouldn't let Fang Yu leave safely.

"Get out of my way!"

Without hesitation, Fang Yu ordered Luo Kuan to open fire.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Luo Kuan, aware of the urgency, immediately, through Ma's Brain Domain Sharing, commanded his war team to unleash cannon fire.

Three level-one enhanced cannons were promptly revealed from the disguise, exuding a dazzling metallic glow, with a breath of death lingering on them.

Three terrifying energy-level fluctuations erupted from the three cannons in an instant.

The cannonballs immediately demonstrated speed and impact more fearsome than ordinary cannons, instantly crashing into the native ships blocking the path ahead.

"Boom!"

The terrifying force immediately shattered the obstructing native sea ship before them on the spot.

Everyone was immediately taken aback.

What does it mean to shatter instantly?

This means... the power unleashed by the Salted Fish surpassed ordinary sea ships, with the Salted Fish demonstrating even greater strength than before.

Seeing the Salted Fish's immense power, its cannon's might surpassing what the native old captains expected, the group of native old captains quickly made way for Fang Yu.

Facing immediate death or capture by the Ocean Court later in linchpin, they understood the stakes.

"Whoa! Buddy, turns out you're a fellow countryman! You should've said so, I knew you were extraordinary. Awesome! Let's break through together."

Several Blue Star Captains were overjoyed upon seeing the Salted Fish demonstrate such power, quickly steering their ships to join Fang Yu's ship, intending to break through together with him.

"Screw this, who's your fellow countryman!"

Fang Yu cursed.

Initially, he planned to follow this delivery, record the details of this sea route and military power, then return to Qiyun Port happily to settle the task.

No problems would have arisen.

But these damn fools weren't mindful along the journey, causing Brother Rong to harbor murderous intentions, leading to implicating himself.

If it weren't for these Blue Star Captains, nothing would have gone wrong on his journey.

Out in the world, it's the fellow countrymen that cause harm, huh?
