Chapter 438: The mysterious vice-captain
Translator: 549690339
The addition of new members to the demon Slayer Pirates was a happy but sad thing.
The good news was that the population was rapidly decreasing, and the demon Slayer Pirates now had new blood to increase their strength. Sadly, the new addition meant that the special blocking potion developed by the team had not taken effect. The demonic mark still had a strong infectious ability.
Yan huabai asked the AI about Jing Xin in private. After learning about li xiaonian’s background, Yan huabai said with a complicated look, ” “Shadow, although you’re a mutant and you’ve been implicated by Shi En, what’s happened has already happened. I hope that you can let go of the estrangement and truly join our Demon Slayer Pirates. As for ... The [ eternity fire ], we won’t charge you for the money. Just consider it as compensation for what you owe us.”
As he said that, he looked at li xiaonian with a serious expression.”Can you let go of the grudges?”
Under the gazes of hundreds of people, li xiaonian looked at Shi En indifferently,”For now, I may hate Shi En, but I wouldn’t kill him. So, your worry is unnecessary ... As for the demon Slayer Pirates, to be honest ... I think they’re pretty good, but I’m not sure if I’ll really join them.”
“I understand.”
Yan huabai nodded and rubbed his tired eyes. He looked at everyone and said, ” “I gathered you here today because we have received an important message. A ten-thousand-year-old ancient tomb has appeared in the thousand Peaks star area. We need to go out to find some useful information about the demonic mark. The main purpose of this trip is to collect information, not treasures. I’ll lead the team this time. Who wants to go?”
Everyone was silent.
After a long time, a fierce-looking man raised his hand and said, ” “Boss Yan, my power is at a critical moment. The fluctuation of the demonic mark is relatively large, so this time ... I won’t go.”
of course. Yan huabai nodded. those who don’t want to go can leave.
As soon as Yan huabai finished speaking, nearly 200 people bowed slightly to Yan huabai with faces full of guilt. Then, they turned around and left.
At this point, there were only about a hundred people left in the meeting room.
Yan huabai hesitated for a moment before continuing, ” we don’t need that many people for this operation. Twenty to thirty people are enough. The others need to stay on the warship to ensure its safety. So, members who have a higher frequency of demonic imprints are to leave automatically.
Everyone looked at each other.
Old wine sighed. forget it. I won’t participate in this operation. I’ll leave the search for information to you.
After old wine left, a large group of people left intermittently. There were less than 50 people left, which was still a large number.
Since it was a mission, there would definitely be a battle. Once there was a battle, the demonic mark would be triggered frequently, luring the warrior to use the demonic power. To the warrior who had weak willpower or had already used the power of the demonic mark once or twice, it was definitely a fatal blow.
Therefore, the demon Slayer Pirates wouldn’t attack unless they had no other choice. However, once they did, they had to strike like lightning and eliminate the roots, so that everyone would fear the demon Slayer Pirates.
They were too ruthless, and that was how they made their name.
Li xiaonian hesitated for a moment before raising his hand.”I quit.”
He was new to the demonic mark and did not know much about it. He needed to develop slowly and take time to adapt.
Li xiaonian’s idea was very good, but unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, Yan huabai shook his head and said, ” “You can’t quit, you must participate. “You’ve just come into contact with the demonic mark, so I need to study it. Thus, you can’t leave my sight for a long time. Of course, to make up for your loss, I can make the decision on what you want, and I’ll do my best to find what you need.”
“......”
Li xiaonian’s mouth was half-open.
What did he lack?
Equipment? He had the divine weapon, lightning rod. Money? He still had 31.8 billion domain credits. Compared to normal players, he was definitely a super rich man. Compared to the demon Slayer Pirates, although it was less, it was enough to spend.
Suddenly, li xiaonian seemed to have thought of something. His heart skipped a beat, and he said without leaving a trace,”I need the zishuang family’s nine revolution Heavenly Fire Eyes technique, do you have it?”
He only had the first three levels of the nine revolution Heavenly Fire Eyes. Ever since he obtained the earth-elemental star bead, his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. Now, he had already cultivated to the third level. Without the subsequent cultivation techniques, it would have a significant impact on the improvement of his strength.
The corner of Yan huabai’s mouth twitched, and the 50-plus Pirates present were speechless.
A middle-aged man couldn’t help but say, ” an Ying, your request ... Is simply too much. If the zishuang clan’s Secret technique was so easily spread out, the zishuang clan would have gone extinct a long time ago.
Shi En’s face darkened as well. shadow, don’t push your luck. A piece of [ eternity fire ] worth 3 trillion is already yours. Think about it, with your strength, do you think you’re worth 3 trillion? As long as we announce to the world that we’re recruiting crew members, the entire Starfield will be in an uproar. There will be countless geniuses who want to join us.”
Just as Shi En finished speaking, another pirate also spoke,”Shadow, although we don’t care about personal interests or losses, you can’t have treasures of higher value just because you want them. You have to exchange them with treasures of equal value. If everyone was like you and kept taking things, our Demon Slayer Pirates wouldn’t have been able to last for so many years.”
Li xiaonian shrugged. I’m just saying. I didn’t say that it had to be this condition.
Yan huabai stopped the crowd from condemning li xiaonian and said, ” “An Ying is a newbie, after all. He doesn’t know much about our Demon Slayer Pirate team, so don’t be too mean.”
Pausing for a moment, Yan huabai turned to look at li xiaonian. “Since you need the complete version of the nine Heavenly Fire Eyes, you can post this request on our Demon Slayer Pirate team’s mission platform. It’s hard to say, but it’s hard to say if someone has it. If you become a nine-Star Warrior, we’ll try our best to get you a complete cultivation technique. So, whether you can get what you want depends on your performance.”
......
In the time that followed, Yan huabai went through a round of screening and finally chose five people instead of a dozen or so members.
This time, apart from Yan huabai himself, there was also Shi En, whom li xiaonian hated, mo Lin, whom he had met once, a one-eyed man whom li xiaonian did not know, and Yan huabai’s assistant, imona.
Whoosh ~
A flying ship left the demon Slayer battleship and passed through many cracks in space.
The demon Slayer Pirates were extremely efficient. While they were still discussing, they were already on their way. The flying shuttle was thin and looked like a long shuttle.
Inside the spaceship, there was an independent research room.
“Shadow, come with me. I want to study the demonic mark on your body.”
Yan huabai changed into a White Horse hack and entered the research room first. Li xiaonian could only brace himself and follow the so-called vice-captain into the research room.
Li xiaonian entered the research room. Under Yan huabai’s instructions, he sat on a chair. Yan huabai took out a bottle of silvery, glowing mercury liquid from the densely packed medicinal jars and slowly smeared it on the winged snake mark on the back of li xiaonian’s right wrist.”Shadow, how much do you know about demonic imprints?”
“I don’t know much.”
Li xiaonian immediately told him everything that gan Xiaotian had described.
Yan huabai nodded. my understanding is indeed a little one-sided. Let me tell you some unfortunate news. The demonic mark doesn’t only affect our so-called NPCs, but also has a special effect on you Inhumans. A hundred years ago, I’ve already studied Inhumans with the demonic mark ... Unfortunately, that Inhumans didn’t live for long. If my research is correct, Inhumans like you have already become the food of the demons, and even have fallen into your world. Kill all your family and friends.”
“......”
Almost instantly, li xiaonian’s face turned deathly pale as he stared at Yan Baifa. “Are you sure?”
Before this, he had thought that even if he really reached the end of his life and was forced to sink into oblivion, it wouldn’t affect him too much. The losses he would suffer would only be limited to the game world. However, Yan Baifa’s words were like a sharp knife that stabbed li xiaonian’s heart.
yes. Yan huabai nodded. it’s worth rejoicing that the devil’s mark won’t spread after leaving star field and returning to your world. Not everyone can become the devil’s food. To be infected with the demonic mark, there are two conditions. First, you have to be a genius and have enough talent. Second, you have to have this transaction with the demonic mark, and it’s a large-scale transaction. Only when the demon senses it will it wake up and give you the demonic mark.”
After a pause, Yan huabai added, ” “Actually, you shouldn’t blame Shi En too much. He’s just like what your friend said before, we seem to be very famous and talented, but in fact, we’re just a bunch of pitiful and lowly worms that have been targeted by the demons. there’s a high chance that it wasn’t his instinct that he brought you into the demon-slaying warship. Instead, he was controlled by the demon unconsciously. It’s because your flesh and blood are worth being marked as food by the demon. If I’m not mistaken, you should be one of the nine great star masters in your universe.”
Every powerhouse had a different aura. Yan huabai observed li xiaonian’s body and could tell at a glance that he had the faint aura of a Star Lord. It was very weak, but with her professional ability, she could tell with a single glance that li xiaonian was the star Lord.
“......”
Li xiaonian’s eyes were fixed on Yan huabai. what kind of world is star field? is this world really a virtual world? ”
Although he wasn’t one of the nine Star masters, he was a true star Master now. Although he couldn’t unleash his full power, his body was approaching that of a Star Master.
Yan huabai didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at the mark on li xiaonian’s wrist. Under the corrosion of the mercury, the mark revealed a wriggling winged snake. The winged snake’s body was dark black.
In order to see the winged serpent’s condition clearly, Yan huabai took out a super microscope and aimed it at it. As he observed, he said, ” I’m not sure what kind of world ‘star field’ is, but if we can find the person who released the demonic mark, maybe we can find out everything. It’s not just our Demon Slayer Pirate team, but the eight Mansions in the void Star field are also secretly looking for the whereabouts of the demons and want to find out what it is.
As he said that, Yan huabai said in a commanding tone, ” transform into the netherwyrm form. I need to know more about the demonic mark on you.
Li xiaonian took a deep breath. A golden liquid emerged from the surface of his body and gradually covered his entire body. At the same time, a sharp horn grew out of his forehead, and a golden scale-covered tailbone gradually formed at his tailbone.
It was rare for him to enter this state as an netherdragon warrior.
After all, the current him was in the abyss dragon form, and the increase in his strength was extremely small. In fact, his body could not even adapt to fighting in the abyss dragon form.
Li xiaonian quietly looked at Yan huabai, who was observing the demonic mark on li xiaonian’s wrist through the microscope.
“Captain, what level of strength do you have now? Beyond the star Lord level?” Li xiaonian couldn’t help but ask the question in his heart.
Seeing through his identity with a single glance and seeing that he could transform into the netherdragon warrior form, li xiaonian was filled with deep respect for such a mysterious person.
If Yan huabai was so powerful, then tu Yichen’s strength was definitely not weak.
Yan huabai shook his head. I’m not the star Lord. The star Lord is not the only way out. With that, Yan huabai’s tone changed. you’re very lucky. There’s a sleeping dragon Soul in your body. It bears a part of the negative effects of the demonic mark for you. So, as long as you don’t use the demonic power, you’ll live longer than most people with the demonic mark ... In addition, the demonic mark isn’t only possessed by us Demon Slayer Pirates. There’s also a group of unknown people hidden in the star field. They’re like a time bomb that spreads the infection everywhere. If you’re confident ...... Just kill him. Of course, my suggestion is that you shouldn’t act rashly. Report to me immediately and I’ll find someone to deal with it. ”
Tongtong?
Tong Tong has already followed me into the Star field?
Tong Tong had been in a deep sleep for more than twenty years.
“Captain, how is it now? Is there any way to wake it up?”
Yan huabai kept the microscope and looked at li xiaonian in surprise. there are ways to wake it up, but if it’s interrupted while it’s in a deep sleep, it will have unpredictable effects. Are you sure you want me to help you wake it up? ”
Li xiaonian didn’t even know such common sense. He was immediately suspicious.
Li xiaonian shook his head and said,”in that case, let’s not disturb it.” Captain ... Can you tell me more about the demonic mark? You’ve been studying it for so many years, is there no way to completely remove it?”
The devil’s mark would affect the real world. How could li xiaonian not be anxious? with his strength on earth, once he fell, the Queen of holy light and the nine Star masters wouldn’t even need to step in. The earth would definitely be destroyed in his hands.
Yan huabai’s reply was very simple. He took out a chip from his spatial item. this chip contains all the information about the demons. This matter has a huge impact, so don’t spread it.
Subconsciously, Yan huabai thought that li xiaonian was one of the nine planetary owners of the Inhumans. Such a powerful person naturally knew the importance of the matter and would not reveal it.
Of course, on the other hand, she hoped that li xiaonian could join in the research on demons. With a Star Lord joining them, the research progress would definitely be accelerated.
“Thank you,” he said.
Li xiaonian accepted the chip.
