The third enhancement of the Little White Dragon in the Waves requires 1,000 points. Hao Yun hesitated for a long time and did not enhance it. He planned to save the remaining 1,075 points for now, since the Little White Dragon in the Waves talent was sufficient for the time being.
Hao Yun spent over three million gold soul coins to purchase the large ship equipped with soul tools, completely emptying his savings. However, Hao Yun didn't care. Once he conquered the Spirit Hall, money would be something he could easily take.
Piloting the large ship, Hao Yun began to drift at sea. Finding a 100,000-year-old soul beast was entirely a matter of luck.
The ocean is so vast, who knows where a 100,000-year-old soul beast is hiding? Hao Yun would travel a certain distance and then go into the sea for a look around. If there was no 100,000-year-old soul beast, he would continue on his way.
After drifting at sea for more than ten days, they did not encounter any 100,000-year-old soul beasts, but instead met pirates.
Three large pirate ships sailed straight toward Hao Yun's soul tool ship. These pirates were discerning and recognized at a glance that the ship Hao Yun was piloting was no ordinary vessel.
"We've struck it rich this time! There's only one person on the other ship! Charge! Charge! Charge!"
On one of the three pirate ships, a burly man with a ferocious appearance stood on the bow, shouting loudly.
It was his voice that made Hao Yun, who was bored to death, get up to check. When he saw that it was a pirate ship, Hao Yun frowned and muttered to himself.
"You're in for a world of trouble if I happen to be in a bad mood!"
After drifting at sea for so many days, Hao Yun was already irritable and restless. He stood up at the bow of the ship and waited expressionlessly for the pirate ship to approach.
The first pirate ship to come ashore had a dozen or so pirates throw grappling hooks onto Hao Yun's ship, bringing the two ships together. The pirates then jumped onto Hao Yun's ship.
"Hahaha, thank goodness I was smart enough to lose some supplies. This time, let the third and fourth brothers eat shit!"
The speaker was a burly man, covered in scars, with a fierce appearance and a messy beard; he was clearly a bandit.
"Oh! It's a plump, healthy lamb with soft skin. Let's go tie him up; this kind of catch might fetch a good price!"
The group of pirates who boarded the ship laughed loudly, completely disregarding Hao Yun.
Under the leader's command, a pirate took a rope and walked towards Hao Yun. As for the others, they had already started wandering around the ship, treating it as their own private property.
The other two pirate ships also approached at this time, and two burly men jumped onto the ships.
"Second brother, what you did was not fair! You're eating all by yourself, be careful you don't choke!"
The two men who boarded the ship were the third and fourth leaders of the pirate crew. Their Tiger Shark Pirate Crew was renowned throughout the seas, if not the number one, then at least number two.
The Tiger Shark Pirate Crew has six leaders, each with numerous subordinates, and they have also recruited many Sea Soul Masters.
For example, the three on the ship: the second leader is a Soul Saint level Soul Master of over 70, the third leader is a Soul Emperor of over 60 who is somewhat short, and the other four leaders are also Soul Emperors.
The second-in-command, with a fierce look on his face, snorted when he saw the two of them.
"You're hogging the food! Who told you to be slow? It's always been first-come-first-served. What? You're trying to steal it from me!"
Seeing that the three were about to clash, Hao Yun kicked away the henchman who had come to tie him up.
"Hehe, looks like you're not up to the task either. Do you need our help?"
The third and fourth leaders grinned and leaned against the large ship, watching the spectacle unfold.
"waste!"
Seeing that he was being mocked by the two men, the second leader became a little annoyed and glared at Hao Yun fiercely.
"I was originally planning to sell you to slave traders, but now I see no need. Kill him and feed him to the fish!"
At a command, a dozen or so henchmen on the ship rushed forward, including two Soul Masters of level 30 or higher.
This was Hao Yun's first time seeing two Sea Soul Masters. These two Soul Masters, both around level 30, one with a fish spirit and the other with a sea turtle spirit, looked quite comical.
Hao Yun kicked all the small fry into the sea, one by one.
The second-in-command was annoyed that his men had failed to subdue the other party, so he activated his martial spirit and walked over.
"Damn it! A bunch of useless trash. It's a waste of food to keep you around. In the end, I have to do it myself."
As he walked towards Hao Yun, cursing and swearing, a lobster appeared behind the second-in-command. He brandished his claws and slammed them down on Hao Yun's head.
At that moment, Hao Yun had a sudden inspiration. He caught the second boss's crab claw, twisted it forcefully, and broke his right hand joint.
"You're still useful, it just depends on whether you want to live or not. If you don't want to die, you'd better behave yourself."
The second leader was also a tough guy. His arm was twisted, but he only groaned. However, he was obviously unaware of his fate and activated his sixth soul ring, about to unleash a soul skill.
Seeing that the other party was not behaving properly and even wanted to resist, Hao Yun punched him in the stomach.
With a crisp crack, Hao Yun accidentally lost control of his strength and smashed the sternum of the two-headed dog in his hand to pieces.
With a click of his tongue, Hao Yun tossed the man aside and looked at the third and fourth leaders not far away.
The two people who were just leaning against the edge of the boat jumped off without saying a word.
Hao Yun sighed and insisted that I go into the sea to catch you. Jumping off the boat, Hao Yun, like a hunting shark, charged towards the fleeing third and fourth leaders, riding the waves.
The two men, who had originally intended to escape by using the sea, saw that the other was chasing after them. The fourth leader opened his mouth and spat out a stream of ink; his martial spirit was an octopus.
The two activated their martial spirits, abandoning the pirate ship in their haste to escape. Their opponents were far too strong; the second leader, a level 76 Soul Saint, had been killed with a single punch. If they didn't run now, were they going to stay put and wait to die?
Chapter 69 An Unexpected Gain of a Soul Bone
Hao Yun, who was chasing the third and fourth pirate leaders, became somewhat impatient as he saw them speed up.
Using his water control abilities, Hao Yun accelerated again, instantly intercepting the third and fourth leaders.
The third and fourth leaders panicked. They exchanged glances and scattered to the left and right to escape. They had figured it out: by running separately, at least one of them would survive.
As the four leaders fled, they continuously sprayed ink to obscure Hao Yun's vision. The third leader's martial spirit was a shark, which swam incredibly fast, but it was still far inferior to Hao Yun's.
Hao Yun found their actions extremely annoying. Originally, he only wanted to capture the two men and have them take him to find a 100,000-year-old soul beast. After all, they were pirates who had been robbing and plundering in this sea area for many years, so they must know where there was a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
However, Hao Yun is no longer going to let them go. Since you are pirates, you must have taken lives. Killing you will be doing a service to the people.
With his Martial Soul activated, Hao Yun's speed increased significantly. His first target was the third leader. If he went after the other one, given the third leader's speed, he would probably have already disappeared.
With his firepower fully unleashed, Hao Yun caught up with the third leader in just a few seconds. Because the third leader resisted, Hao Yun smashed all his teeth, as well as his hands and feet.
Carrying the third leader, Hao Yun turned to capture the fourth leader. In less than a minute, the two met on Hao Yun's boat.
After throwing the man onto the deck, Hao Yun glared at the three pirate ships around him and roared angrily.
"Those who don't want to die, get over here and kneel down. You have ten seconds. If you don't come, you're all dead!"
The pirates' underlings dared not linger. Their second-in-command had been killed, and their third and fourth-in-commands had been crippled. How could they dare disobey Hao Yun's orders?
More than two hundred pirates knelt neatly in front of Hao Yun, who then kicked the third leader at his feet.
"Keep running! Aren't you supposed to be a fast runner?"
"We were wrong, please spare our lives, sir."
The four-headed leader, whose limbs were broken, has now recovered his hands and feet. What is his martial soul? An octopus, a cartilaginous animal. His limbs are not his vital organs.
Even so, the four leaders dared not resist. They had tried to escape earlier and were almost killed. Since the other party had captured them but not killed them, there must be hope for them to survive.
"If you had been honest just now, you wouldn't have suffered so much. Tell me where there is a 100,000-year-old soul beast and take me there. If you find a 100,000-year-old soul beast, I will spare your lives."
Hearing Hao Yun's words, the four leaders lying on the ground were stunned. What did this person want with a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Could it be to add a soul ring? No way, he's already that strong, isn't he a Title Douluo?
"Don't you know?"
The fourth leader noticed that Hao Yun's tone had turned cold and hurriedly replied.
"I know, I know! I know where there are 100,000-year-old soul beasts."
Sitting on the large box, Hao Yun took off his shirt, which was damp and uncomfortable to wear. Hearing the other person say they knew where to find a 100,000-year-old soul beast, Hao Yun nodded.
"Now that you know, that makes things easier."
Hao Yun looked at the three leaders on the ground, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. Since you won't answer my question, what use are you?
Just as Hao Yun was about to make a move, the three-headed leader, who was writhing on the ground, panicked and hurriedly spat out broken teeth and foul blood.
"My lord! I'll trade a piece of information for my life, is that alright?"
Lowering his raised hand, Hao Yun stroked his chin. News? Well, let's hear it. If it's useful, sparing his life won't matter to me.
"Alright, tell me. If it's helpful, I'll spare your life."
The third leader looked at the second leader's corpse and sighed inwardly. He had originally planned to escape and then secretly follow him to see if he could obtain the soul bone from the second leader's body, but now it seemed hopeless.
"My lord, the man you just killed had a soul bone on his left arm, which he obtained from a 60,000-year-old steel cannon lobster. Can this information be exchanged for my life?"
Hao Yun's eyes lit up. A soul bone? That's a good thing. Although hunting a 100,000-year-old soul beast will definitely drop a soul bone, the soul bone that drops may not be suitable for him.
Hao Yun regretted fusing the soul bone of the Silverback Vajra before. The reason was simple: the Silverback Vajra was too young, and the quality of its soul bone was definitely not as good as that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Fortunately, the Soul Bone provides very useful skills, including passive immunity to all negative effects.
Soul bones are all a matter of fate. Besides, where are you going to find so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts?
Following the instructions of the third leader, Hao Yun tore open the left arm of the second leader he had just killed, and sure enough, there was a piece of soul bone inside. This piece of soul bone was of very high quality, enough to cover the entire left forearm.
After tossing the soul bone into his system inventory, Hao Yun didn't rush to absorb it. He glanced at the three leaders.
"Very good, your life is saved. Have your people take you for treatment. As for you?"
Hao Yun glanced at the four leaders and snorted.
"Stop lying on the ground pretending to be dead! Get up and lead the way. Once we find the 100,000-year-old soul beast, you can get lost!"
The four leaders, who had been pretending to be disabled, awkwardly got up and, bowing and scraping, led their men to control the direction of the large ship.
For the next few days, Hao Yun enjoyed a life of ease, with everything done for him. He only needed to enjoy himself, and the pirates naturally took care of the rest of the work.
Hao Yun originally thought the other party would play tricks, such as poisoning his food or assassinating him while he was sleeping.
However, none of these things happened. The two pirate leaders were very obedient and had no ulterior motives whatsoever, focusing wholeheartedly on serving Hao Yun.
In fact, the third and fourth leaders had already discussed it and decided to take good care of this old man. Once they sent him to the area where 100,000-year-old soul beasts lived, the two of them would be free.
As for resistance, the two felt the risk was too high. What if the poison didn't kill them, or only partially killed them, and the other party retaliated before dying and killed them?
Both men are smart to have survived in this sea area for so many years, but this time they misjudged Hao Yun and fell into his hands.
At noon, Hao Yun was enjoying his meal when the four leaders approached.
"My lord, we have arrived at the activity area of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. As far as we know, a clan led by a 100,000-year-old soul beast frequently appears here."
After listening to the fourth leader's words, Hao Yun nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Sir, may we leave now?"
