Chapter 810: He’s From the Sea
With his head held high, Han Fei took a deep breath. It was the first time he had fought a sea demon expert.
Perhaps, it was suicide to a lot of people.
However, it was extremely easy for Han Fei.
So far, he had always dealt with them by hiding himself and using poison. He didn’t have to anymore.
Looking at the enormous water man a hundred meters tall, Han Fei suddenly grinned. “Overlord’s Technique.”
After his strength was increased by eight times, Han Fei launched a streak of dazzling brilliance towards the enemy. During that moment, he forgot all his frustrations in the past.
In his head, the pictures of invincibility automatically showed up.
Boom!
After one punch, he gained lesser mastery on the Art of Invincibility.
The terrifying water man was crushed into pieces by Han Fei’s punch.
Han Fei mumbled in a void that only he could hear, “This is what power feels like!”
On this day, a wave of a hundred meters high was raised by someone who wasn’t a Hidden Fisher for the first time.
On this day, noise spread a hundred kilometers away from someone who wasn’t a Hidden Fisher for the first time.
On this day, Han Fei walked out of the sea covered in blood with a disfigured sea demon expert in his hands, roaring.
…
Half a month pa.s.sed.
On the Scattered Stars Island.
At the Skeleton Sh.o.r.e, the Eighth Battalion was having barbecue.
Gu Daliang was enjoying a tank of liquor while having a lobster. He spoke to his new teammate, “Earlier, my captain used to eat like this. I didn’t know where he found all these bizarre spiritual fruits. In particular, there’s a thing named pepper that tastes very good.”
The new teammate asked nervously, “Are you referring to Han Fei? The one who hurt the dark hunters and set sail without permission?”
Gu Daliang replied innocently, “Who else could it be? It’s a shame that he isn’t here, or the Eighth Battalion would have the best equipment.”
“Daliang, Sister Lingyun has been officially promoted as a major captain!”
Wu Xiaoxiao hopped in delight and grabbed Gu Daliang. “Let’s go celebrate! We’ll call Leng Hui too. I heard that he caught an exotic creature two days earlier. Let’s fool him into eating that.”
Gu Daliang was instantly dazed. “Is it really appropriate to eat exotic creatures?”
Wu Xiaoxiao said cutely, “It’s not like we never had them before. He’s a deputy commander right now. What’s wrong with having an exotic creature? Besides, we had everything when the captain was here, right?”
“Wu Xiaoxiao, you’re already a captain. Why are you still acting like a little girl?”
Someone scolded her.
Instantly, everybody stopped laughing.
Many people stood straight and greeted her. “Major Captain.”
“Major Captain, have some of the food.”
“Congratulations on winning four stars, Major Captain.”
“Congratulations, Sister Lingyun.”
Wu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks and grabbed You Lingyun’s arm. “Sister Lingyun, Leng Hui is so cold. He never visits us or calls us to have the exotic creatures he catches.”
You Lingyun snorted and said, “Do you know anything else except eating? It’s all because of the former captain.”
Suddenly, a cold voice came from dozens of meters away, and an expressionless slim man slowly walked out of the shadows.
The man indifferently threw out a purple-and-red lobster and said, “It’s here.”
Wu Xiaoxiao’s eyes glittered. “Leng Hui? You’re back? You’ve never returned since you became a deputy commander.”
Leng Hui said casually, “My job isn’t easy. Recently, the sea demons are causing trouble again.”
You Lingyun frowned. “Why are they here again? The last major battle was three months ago. Do we have to start another war already?”
Leng Hui shook his head. “It’s not a war but a limited battle. The sea demons are imposing pressure on the Scattered Stars Island.”
Wu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, “Imposing pressure? Why?”
Leng Hui said casually, “It’s said that a mysterious expert appeared on the sea recently. He has killed fifteen Half-Merman experts and countless regular Half-Mermen and Inferior Man-Fish.”
You Lingyun frowned. “Aren’t the fights between human beings and sea demons common? Is it worth imposing pressure on us?”
Leng Hui said in a low voice, “It’s said that he kills one sea-demon level expert every day. It’s been fifteen days and he’s killed fifteen of them. The sea demons suspect that we deployed an unknown expert. After all, it takes time for a sea-demon level expert to grow up.”
“Hiss!”
Everybody gasped hard.
Wu Xiaoxiao asked in shock, “What? He killed one of them every day? They’re all experts equal to Hidden Fishers!”
Gu Daliang was so shocked that he dropped the half lobster in his mouth. After a long time, he finally remarked, “What a brutal guy.”
You Lingyun said with a bitter smile, “Why does such an expert not listen to the Scattered Stars Island’s command? Let’s not start a war against the sea demons again. In the last war, the Eighth Battalion… Sigh…”
…
A moment later, the four of them were cooking an exotic lobster while hiding in the back of the mountain.
Wu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “I do wonder what’s going on with our captain.”
You Lingyun recalled Han Fei’s lazy look and put on a smile. Then, she heaved a sigh. “It’s almost been a year. Last time, I ran into his former teammates at the Logistics Division. They didn’t look well when I asked them about him.”
Gu Daliang heaved a long sigh. “I can’t imagine how hard life would be for a man as lazy as our captain to set sail on the sea.”
What they left unsaid was that an intermediate Hanging Fisher was unlikely to survive for such a long time.
“Do you really wish me to die so badly?”
All of a sudden, a casual voice came from their back.
“You Lingyun, Wu Xiaoxiao, Gu Daliang and Leng Hui… It’s been a while.”
It rumbled in their head like a thunder.
You Lingyun and the others all stood up in shock.
Wu Xiaoxiao covered her mouth.
Gu Daliang’s eyes were widened. “C-C-Captain?”
You Lingyun’s mouth was widened. “Y-You’re back?”
Han Fei put on a smile. “I didn’t want to come here, but I need some help and I know the way around here the best.”
Wu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Captain, y-you’re not dead?”
Han Fei rolled his eyes at her. “Who are you talking to if I’m dead?”
Leng Hui stared at Han Fei’s waste. “Captain, your waist tag is gone.”
They finally noticed that Han Fei had lost his waist tag, which meant that he would be spotted in the city.
Han Fei said casually, “It’s broken!”
Gu Daliang said, “Captain, you must consider carefully before you reappear. If you just show up, the Scattered Stars Prison will be after you.”
Han Fei chuckled. “Daliang, you’re just as innocent as before. They’ll be after me whenever I show up. I’m here exactly to ask for your help on that.”
You Lingyun slightly narrowed his eyes. “What help?”
Han Fei put on a smile. “Inform Le Renkuang at the Logistics Division that I’m back.”
You Lingyun thought for a moment and realized that it was simple. She also knew why Han Fei asked her to do that.
Without the waist tag, Han Fei would be asked wherever he went.
Han Fei knew that the Command Center where Zhang Xuanyu and Luo Xiaobai were stationed was not easily accessible to everyone.
The Logistics Division was the only place that had frequent visitors. None would raise suspicion for going there. They would never be suspected for a.s.sisting Han Fei later.
You Lingyun nodded solemnly, “Okay, I’m on it!”
Han Fei raised his hands and stopped You Lingyun. “No rush. Let’s have dinner first. I’ve barely had any tasteful food on the sea.”
A moment later…
Wu Xiaoxiao sat next to Han Fei and watched him throw four seasonings into the pot. She instantly threw out a series of questions.
“Captain, did you find the girl?”
“Captain, did you spend all the time on the sea?”
“Captain, if you were always on the sea, why did n.o.body know you?”
“Captain, is it dangerous on the sea?”
“Captain…”
Han Fei felt a strong headache as he listened to all the questions. He glared at Wu Xiaoxiao. “If you don’t stop croaking, I’ll throw you into the sea.”
Wu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue. Her captain was just as brutal as before.
Leng Hui had been frowning silently the whole time. Finally, he said, “Captain, why do you emit such intent demonic Qi?”
You Lingyun had noticed that too, but she chose to trust Han Fei and didn’t ask.
Han Fei’s lips curled. “Are you suspecting that I’m a spy for the sea demons?”
Han Fei waved his hand and threw out the remains of a Half-Merman. Instantly, a strong wave of demonic Qi spurted out. In the next moment, Han Fei waved his hand and took it back.
Han Fei shrugged. “Don’t worry! I have fifteen more of those left.”
“Hiss!”
They were all shocked. Leng Hui, in particular, asked in a s.h.i.+vering voice, “Fifteen? You’re the mysterious expert that’s been hunting the Half-Mermen?”
The lobster head that Gu Daliang was holding dropped to the ground.
Wu Xiaoxiao and You Lingyun looked at Han Fei in shock.
Han Fei scratched his head. “Well, how did you know that?”
“Gudu!”
While everybody swallowed, Han Fei rose and said, “I don’t want to owe you anything. Since I ate half of that lobster, I’ll give you something in return.”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four gigantic creatures ranging from twenty to thirty meters long fell to the ground.
Gu Daliang’s eyes were widened. “They’re all exotic.”
Wu Xiaoxiao gasped. “They’re so big. I’ve never seen anything like that before.”
However, when they raised their heads again, Han Fei had already disappeared from the dark wood.
