The Charm of Soul Pets (WN)

Dark Island’s east bay was silent. Nothing looked wrong when seen from afar, but even when they slowly entered the bay, it still seemed like a deserted island.

The disguised pirate ship was still leading the way for them while the new moon ground ships were following without hesitation.

“There are some tidal movements behind us, I think there are boats heading towards us from behind. They want to surround us at this bay.” Zen Bangyang reported.

“Tell the people behind not to look backwards. We have to act like we don’t know. Also, they probably will fight us after we get onto the island. We’ll do as they wish so we don’t ruin our ships.” Sang Ying said.

Hai Qie was rather accurate. He believed that even if they were surrounded,they should be able to kill their way out relatively easily.

On the ship, the vast majority of people had monarch rank soul pets out with an occasional emperor rank. This was to give the pirates a sense of false security that new moon navy was much weaker than they actually were.

The act was a success. The pirates guided the new moon navy off the boat and led them towards the island because there were many fruits on the island that could give them energy.

New Moon Navy’s members were also full of smiles. Since the pirates were hiding daggers with smiles, they of course had to treat them equally politely.

Thus, both the pirates and the navys seemed extremely nice to each other but were both thinking the same thought, “I’ll be damned if you come out of this alive this time!”

Leaving some people on the boats to manage them, the boats all anchored ashore. Two thousand people left the boats and started going on land.

“This looks like a pretty good place, maybe we can even set up a checkpoint city. Let’s go do some recon deeper in the island.” Sang Ying said with a face of serious consideration.

“Though the oceans are bad, the island itself is pretty nice.” The disguised pirate laughed and thought to himself, “Dumbass, we already have a small city here.”

As they laughed, the disguised pirates found an excuse to distance themselves slightly from the new moon navy.

At this time, everyone became more vigilant because it was obvious they were about to rip their disguises off!

“They’re going to run away.” Zen Bangyang looked at the figures scurrying away.

“No worries, we’ll continue to attract their attention. Yuan Sui and the others are already sneaking over.” Sang Ying said.

Two thousand people all held their incantations in their mouths, ready to summon their main soul pet at a moment’s notice.

“Hualalalala”

Suddenly, a powerful tide hit the edge of the bay. A densely packed group of boats came with the tide to lock off the entire bay!

The aura was like a group of fierce beasts all arriving at the shore, ready to rip apart the silver boats.

The tides came one after another, growing increasingly fierce. Combined with the imposing aura was also the roars of countless water type monsters the pirates summoned!

“Aoo!!”

A barbaric roar came from in front on the high ground!

Figures leaped down from the high ground, staring with wide, greedy smiles at the New Moon navy.

More and more people started showing up, nearing 10,000 in number, and near 30,000 soul pets with them. Immediately, the entire beach was filled with these people and soul pets. New Moon Ground’s two thousand people looked miniscule in comparison!

“Its…… it’s pirates!!” Zeng Bangyang yelled out, looking absolutely terrified.

Sang Ying glanced at Zeng Bangyang. This guy really was into the act!

After Zeng Bangyang’s terrified yell, everyone else also started showing fear, as if they didn’t expect it at all and started withdrawing themselves.

“Pirates, why are there pirates here?”

“We’ve fallen for their trap, this is a pirate nest!”

“Those liars, they convinced us to come here. We’re done for, there’s too many of them!”

Chu Mu turned around to look at the navy and noticed that they really were into the act. After all this frantic yelling, the pirates definitely would lower their guards even more.

“Hahahaha, you stupid Normal Human Subspecies, if you come for death yourself, you can’t blame me for being cruel.” Zhuo Xiong laughed.

In the high ground, a group of leaders stood around. They were all dressed rather luxuriously. If not for their cruel and greedy looks, it was hard to believe these well groomed were the ringleaders of a group of bloodthirsty pirates.

The leaders all suddenly split up to let a middle aged man in a large coat to pass through.

He looked over the surrounded new moon navy members and smiled, revealing a toothy yellow grin.

“New Moon Ground? I heard that’s a really rich place.” This extremely imposing great leader said calmly, “A group of lowly humans keeping such a rich ground. That’s a crime. I welcome you to I, Zhuo Qing’s, pirate island. You’re the first group of foreigners that have come, so I won’t leave a single one of you alive!!”

At those last words, Great Leader Zhuo Qing’s spirit remembrance pushed forth!

Zhuo Qing was clearly a high remembrance spirit dominator. When his spirit remembrance pushed forth, it was like a tidal wave!!

The normal navy all stepped back, secretly shocked at the strength of the middle aged man!

“This fellow was the old navy leader Zhuo Qing. he’s stronger than great leader Xu Kuang.” Hai Qie immediately reminded chu Mu.

Chu Mu nodded. He could feel the strength from this man.

“The ten or so people around him are all leader level pirates. The black clothed one is called Lin Kang, an official of Ocean Sect. After he was revealed to be dealing with pirates, he ran away and completely switched sides. He’s like a low ranking navy general in strength.

“The old woman that’s basically wearing nothing is called Chang Fei. She’s ranked third of all the pirates, has the strength of a medium ranking navy general.” Hai Qie continued to say everyone’s strengths.

Ye Wansheng glanced over and indeed saw an extremely revealed woman standing amongst their ranks. Her figure was indeed thin, but her figure really wasn’t great. Her skin was also tanned brown, so the descriptor of “old woman” wasn’t far off.

“Prince Chao, I’ll leave the female leader up to you.” Ye Wansheng said.

Chao Lengchuan nodded with a helpless laugh.

“Zhuo Qing’s right hand side, cold faced, that’s the original pirate leader with a bounty of 9000 xuan, called Su Guanluo. He’s an extremely crafty, powerful, and troublesome man!” Speaking of Su Guanluo, Hai Qie’s tone clearly was heavier. It was obvious this Su Guanluo was the pirate Hai Qie hated the most, the main mastermind behind the massacre of Wan City!

Hai Qie explained every leader briefly. Even those that Hai Qie had never seen herself, Hai Qie could guess who they were.

“Alright, let’s disguise ourselves a bit more and fight the moment Yuan Sui sends a flare.” Chu Mu nodded.

Yuan Sui was very key. Otherwise, if they were hit with the pirates’ elemental army, they may lose a lot of people.

The pirate army had 30,0000 soul pets with an average rank of top tier monarch to pseudo emperor. This was much weaker than new moon navy. Adding on Chu Mu, Chao Lengchuan, Ye Wansheng, and Pang Yue, they had enough power to face them off with ease.

“Kill them!! Don’t leave a single one alive!!!!”

Zhuo Qing gave a command!

With one sentence, tens of thousands of bandits let out excited calls, commanding their soul pets to continue to near them!

On the ocean, a large group of ocean beasts came up from behind New Moon navy. They numbered at least ten thousand, showing the pirates resolve to leave no new moon navy out alive!

The sea water was rolling furiously, reaching hundreds of meters in height. At the tps of the waves, with green faces and sharp teeth, soul pets bared their maws and gleamed with greed, just like their masters.

Very quickly, the entire beach was filled with these scaled and lumpy creatures. These sea creatures all knew how to secrete a certain sticky substance that was slightly corrosive. One could see that they were intentionally spreading this secretion so the path of retreat was blocked off. Once they tried to escape, they would get caught by the sticky substance.

This sticky substance was created by an organism called Underwater Lizard Fish. They often gang up and kill weaker species in teh ocean.

At this time, the pirates were using them to create a lockdown. There were at least five thousand of these creatures, each around ten meters, that filled the beach. Their secretions caused the ships to get stuck!

The sticky substance was like liquid spider silk, spread messily yet densely over the bay. When they looked back, they couldn’t even see the ocean.

Zeng Bangyang saw the disgusting creatures and furrowed his brows, “Leader, those things behind us don’t look easy to deal with.”

“Hard to deal with? Alright, I’ll leave it to you. Don’t let them get the chance to disgust me over here. The Underwater Lizard Fish are great at restricting our beast type soul pets.

“Leader Sang, my brethren and I will definitely not let it get that chance.” Zeng Bangyang swore.

Sang Ying nodded and no longer cared about the pirates behind him. He was here to get rid of all the pirates, the ones that filled the entirety of the rainforest and high ground ahead of him!
