Chapter 185: Encountering Little Warrior Again

Haiweila and Chen Mo followed closely and entered. Shortly after they went in, a booming sound came from ahead, followed by a surge of gushing seawater!

Chen Mo felt nervous. Based on the force of the seawater, it seemed all three of them would be washed back into the prison.

But what surprised Chen Mo was that a faint blue glow appeared around each of the three of them. The impact of the seawater had no effect on them at all.

“This special magical state is only given to the first ones who enter. Those who come later will be washed away by the water,” Hai Ruoou explained.

So that was it. This secret escape path was designed quite thoughtfully.

The seawater was like nothing to the three of them. They quickly swam out into the real ocean.

Chen Mo took the Clamshell out from his backpack and handed it to Haiweila. Haiweila happily accepted it, letting Chen Mo and Hai Ruoou get on. Then, whoosh, it started moving swiftly through the deep sea.

“This time, no one should be chasing us, right?”

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that after this prison break, they were truly safe now.

“Adventurer, thank you for saving Haiweila and me again!” Hai Ruoou said gratefully to Chen Mo.

“Thank you, Adventurer Brother!” Haiweila also smiled sweetly.

System Notification: Hai Ruoou’s Favorability toward you increased by 30 points!

System Notification: Haiweila’s Favorability toward you increased by 10 points!

What! Both their Favorability increased at the same time! Hai Ruoou’s went from zero straight to 30 points, while Haiweila’s went from 50 to 60 points!

It wasn’t a waste of all the effort I put in, doing quests for you without expecting rewards—there was finally some payback!

As for Hai Ruoou, a sudden 30-point increase in Favorability looked like a lot, but Chen Mo knew it still meant he couldn’t do anything with her. But Haiweila, going from 50 to 60 points, had taken a big step forward.

If 100 points was the max, 60 points meant passing. So, Haiweila’s Favorability toward him had a major breakthrough. I wonder if I can try some new moves on Haiweila now?

Chen Mo really wanted to try touching Haiweila’s thigh, but with Hai Ruoou present, he didn’t dare act recklessly.

The three of them moved inside the Clamshell for over half an hour in the deep sea. This time, no one chased them—they were indeed safe.

“Miss Hai Ruoou, I have some questions for you. I wonder if you could answer them for me.” Chen Mo intended to ask the questions that were interrupted earlier.

“Of course, feel free to ask me anything. I’ll tell you everything I know.” After the increase in Favorability, Hai Ruoou’s attitude toward Chen Mo was clearly much better.

“In the Sea Clan Treasury, I saw Divine Punishment Witch statues. I wonder where your clan obtained those Divine Punishment Witches?” Chen Mo asked.

“Divine Punishment Witches? Those weren’t real Divine Punishment Witches. They were Puppets made using the blood of Divine Punishment Witches. They resemble Divine Punishment Witches and possess strong power, but to activate them, you need specific tools. Our clan has had them for many years, but we’ve never seen them move.” Hai Ruoou thought for a moment and said, “As for their origin, I remember they came from a small Human Race territory. Over ten years ago, our clan landed at a small Human Race territory. Someone there used these Puppets against us. We defeated the Puppets’ owner and took the Puppets with us.”

“From the Human Race? What was the name of that place where you landed?”

Chen Mo felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this.

“Katherine? I think it was called Katherine Town or something like that.”

So it really was Katherine!

He had the contract given by Enoch. With that contract, he would become the Lord of Katherine in the future!

Although Katherine sounded like just a coastal town, it seemed to have a special connection with the Divine Punishment Witches of the Land of Divine Punishment.

Enoch’s bloodline allowed her to summon Divine Punishment Witches, and the wooden plaque she gave could activate the Divine Punishment Witch Puppets.

He absolutely had to take over this territory!

But his Level was still low now. Going there would probably be a waste of time.

“By the way, Miss Hai Ruoou, do you have any Sea Spear weapons suitable for me? I need a Sea Spear weapon for self-defense now that I have one.”

Since Hai Ruoou’s Favorability had increased, Chen Mo didn’t hesitate to directly ask her for benefits. If Hai Ruoou had Sea Spear weapons, any one she provided would be better than what he could obtain through hard work.

And now, because of Haiweila and Hai Ruoou, not only had he failed to get on good terms with the Sea Clan leaders, he had thoroughly offended them. It would probably be hard for him to even enter the Sea Clan now. He had to get some benefits back from Hai Ruoou at least.

“Sorry, I don’t have any with me. However, if you need a Sea Spear weapon, I know of an island not too far from here that has one suitable for you.” Hai Ruoou spoke quite apologetically but gave Chen Mo a piece of information.

“Oh? Are there other people on that island? Will I get caught if I go there?” Chen Mo asked curiously.

He had thought the Sea Clan only had three cities, but from Hai Ruoou’s words, aside from those three cities, the Sea Clan had other places.

“There are Sea Clan Natives on the island, but you don’t need to worry. These Sea Clan Natives yearn for the original Sea Clan life and refuse to join the three major Sea Clan cities. They have almost no contact with the three cities, and even toward your Human Race, they maintain a neutral attitude.” Hai Ruoou smiled slightly.

The Sea Clan had such a place?

Chen Mo immediately became interested.

“Are you sure there’s a suitable weapon for me there? How can I get it?” Chen Mo quickly asked.

Hai Ruoou began answering each of Chen Mo’s questions one by one. After listening, Chen Mo’s eyes gradually narrowed. From what Hai Ruoou said, he knew he had to visit that island at least once!

“Wait here for me. Be careful not to get caught.”

A little while later, the Clamshell stopped about a thousand meters from a small island. Chen Mo instructed the two of them, then stepped out of the Clamshell alone.

He summoned Sesshylow and had her transform into Mermaid Form. Then Chen Mo had Sesshylow carry him as they swiftly swam toward the island.

While Chen Mo was heading toward the small island, many small boats arrived at the only accessible beach on the island.

“Weapon Island! Here I come!”

“Haha, another new week. I hope for better rewards this week!”

Groups of people landed on the shore. The island seemed very popular.

“Hehe, Mount Tai, you’re still coming? You were humiliated enough last week. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have the face to come back to Weapon Island.” A somewhat sleazy Fatty looked at a team disembarking from a small boat ahead and chuckled.

A sturdy young man in that team looked at the sleazy Fatty and snorted coldly. “Fatty Luo, I just had bad luck last week. Don’t think you can beat me again this week. I’ve prepared a trump card this time!”

“Trump card? I’d like to see what trump card you have!” Fatty Luo looked completely unconvinced.

“Little Warrior, come out and let this clueless fatty see what a real trump card is!” Mount Tai sneered. From behind him emerged a little loli Warrior with a frustrated expression.

A loli Warrior with a childlike face and a buxom figure—only Little Warrior in the entire Game was like this. No one knew how she ended up in this deep sea area.

“It’s her! Wasn’t she in Ji Guang’s team?” Seeing Little Warrior, Fatty Luo’s expression changed.

“Hahaha! That kid Ji Guang dared to laugh at me last week. I ambushed him halfway and sent him back to his starting point. Little Warrior naturally joined my team! So, Fatty Luo, what do you think of this trump card? Do you still think you can beat me this week?” Mount Tai looked at Fatty Luo’s defeated expression and felt extremely pleased.

“Humph! That kid Ji Guang is utterly useless. I should have taken him out myself earlier!” Fatty Luo looked full of regret. This Little Warrior was definitely a super trump card on Weapon Island. With her on the team, as long as luck wasn’t too bad, getting first place after the Quest started would be very easy.

Splash!

Right then, between their boats, a figure emerged from the water with a splash. Both Fatty Luo and Mount Tai couldn’t help but look over.

They saw a guy shrouded in black mist emerge from the water.

A Blacklisted Player! And one who appeared so openly!

Fatty Luo and Mount Tai were both startled. They were experienced experts and knew this newcomer was definitely not simple.

Being able to kill enough people to get a Black Name was a skill in itself. And someone with a Black Name who dared to appear so boldly was even more extraordinary.

The newcomer was naturally Chen Mo. Although Chen Mo didn’t get his Black Name from killing players, their wariness wasn’t misplaced.

“Big brother?” Little Warrior, who had looked frustrated, recognized Chen Mo and immediately cried out in delight. She happily hopped a few times over to Chen Mo’s side.

“Little Warrior?” Chen Mo was very surprised. He never expected to run into someone he knew here, especially Little Warrior, the Quest fanatic.

“Yes, it’s me! I’m Little Warrior!” Little Warrior, afraid Chen Mo might not recognize her, nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, confirming that he hadn’t mistaken her identity.

“What are you doing here?” Chen Mo couldn’t resist asking curiously.

He felt there must be a significant reason for Little Warrior to appear here.

“It’s a long story.” Hearing this, Little Warrior’s small face turned bitter, as if recalling unpleasant memories.

“Hey, you! What’s your deal? She’s part of my team!” Mount Tai, seeing the two catching up, felt uneasy and immediately shouted in a warning tone.

This suddenly appearing Blacklisted Player actually knew Little Warrior, and Little Warrior seemed inclined to join him. After all the trouble and risk Mount Tai took to kill Ji Guang’s team and get Little Warrior, how could he let this Black Name guy take her away?

“Little Warrior, come back here!” Mount Tai didn’t forget to yell at Little Warrior.

Hearing this, not only did Little Warrior not go over, she quickly hid behind Chen Mo.
