I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 401 The Navy is Here!

"Tsk tsk, this wound is not easy to treat... Never mind, let's just say it was caused by an electromagnetic bomb and a thermite sword."

Feng Xue glanced at the charred head, her words seemingly casual, but her smugness was almost overflowing.

I've risen to the top, and I've already reached that combat standard!

"Don't get too cocky. It's mainly a matter of decision-making. If it really comes down to a fight, your chances of winning are pretty low." Liu Yunxi, unusually, contradicted Feng Xue when she was feeling smug. Hearing this, Feng Xue knew it wasn't unfounded. She casually deactivated her transformation and began to calmly review the situation. Seeing Feng Xue's lips purse, Liu Yunxi also began to explain:

"His physical strength is actually a bit stronger than mine. Even in your transformed state, which can combine my power, you would still be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation. It's just that you initially appeared too weak, so when you suddenly improved to a point of near equilibrium, it gave him a feeling of a huge boost, which caused him to experience a psychological letdown."

"His fighting style leans towards stealth approach and a one-hit kill, which is why he misjudged the situation here. Moreover, this guy has a very low fighting spirit; from the very first encounter, he was thinking about running away. Although I don't know if he planned to disengage and then turn around to ambush you, or if he really intended to escape, in any case, he prefers to get out of your sight rather than kill you immediately..."

"Finally, he didn't expect you to be able to see his movement trajectory after he used divine favor, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to run straight into your sword without any defense."

Listening to Liu Yunxi's analysis, Feng Xue silently pondered while replaying the previous battle footage.

Although it is a life-or-death battle where the winner takes all, he cannot expect every enemy to be restrained by him or lack the desire to fight. Only by accurately assessing his own combat level can he avoid the tragedy of "Sunny Helper" failing to see his own strength.

Upon contacting the imprint of the God of Unity, a wondrous connection instantly formed. Seeing herself soar to the top of the leaderboard, Feng Xue's mood improved once again.

"Looking at these numbers... Fina is actually faster than me?"

Feng Xue grinned. Although Fina's achievements were also attributed to him, he couldn't help but worry that the girl was having too much fun and forgot to hide her identity.

"Don't worry, Master, Miss Fina did a better job than you."

The little bell rang out with a mocking tone that had a hint of a sissy about it, and Feng Xue was immediately speechless. But when she looked at Howell's charred neck, she felt that she didn't really have any room for rebuttal.

"Anyway, as long as they're dead, that's fine. Now, whose parents are left?"

Xiao Lingdang didn't expose Feng Xue's obvious attempt to change the subject, but quickly gave an answer: "The Woodnas family, according to current intelligence, should be located in the Lauster district. Should we go directly there?"

“No need. Send a message to Fina and ask her to record the death certificate of the patriarch of the Skull family. Then go to ‘her house.’ After that, send the death certificate of the Hati family and the one she sent to the Reid family’s terminal together and tell them that I have taken care of two. If I don’t see the head of the Woodnas family before dawn, then tell them to go back to the Torridge Islands.”

Feng Xue's tone was playful, but the little bell, whose mind was directly linked to his, understood the effect he wanted and immediately communicated with Fina. Feng Xue casually removed Howell's Moon Wolf insignia and headed towards the house Fina had mentioned earlier… …

"Teacher, we've caught far too many heretics. The prison on the ship is already overflowing. Should we..." Just as blood was flowing like a river on Abilat Island, a general-class warship encountered trouble at sea.

Seeing his disciple make the throat-slitting gesture, the admiral shook his head and said:

“The three heretics executed earlier exhibited obvious divine power reactions, which means that their deaths were likely part of some ritual. We cannot rule out the possibility that Shenxiao intends to use us to carry out a human sacrifice, so we cannot take such a risk.”

The admiral's speculation was not without merit. As one of the Sea People's strongest fighters, he was qualified to know a lot. When the Sea God destroyed the world, they used the same methods, holding large-scale demonstrations in the name of extreme environmentalism, which triggered mass incidents. In the end, they were suppressed by the Free Islands government with force, and a large number of human sacrifices were offered up, which ultimately provided the Sea God with enough power.

Therefore, when Shenxiao deliberately concentrated the fragments in a small area and lured the navy to clear them out, they had to consider whether this guy also intended to use the same methods, such as "the believers of God being slaughtered by heretics" and "the enormous resentment generated by death converging into divine power," to achieve the awakening of the Earth God.

"What should we do? Even without considering supplies, it's troublesome just for so many people to occupy space..." The disciple subconsciously glanced at his feet. This ship already held more than six hundred Earth Heretics, which accounted for a quarter of the total capacity, but compared to the Earth Fragment ability users on this sea, it was still only a small part.

"It's alright. The temple priests have already begun preparing the relevant countermeasures. We just need to capture enough heretics and then, through a grand ceremony that surpasses even the connection between the Earth God and his followers, sacrifice them to the Sea God first..."

At this point, the admiral shook his head:
"But you're right, it's not good to keep these people locked up on the ship. Where are we now?"

"We are currently between the Sylmery Islands and the Pargasu Islands." The disciple quickly pulled up a nautical chart, but the admiral didn't look at it. As the highest-ranking officer on the ship, how could he not know their location? After the disciple's response, he immediately continued:
“We need to find a war-torn region, and an island soaked in enough blood as the base for the sacrificial ritual.”

"War..." Upon hearing this, the disciple was somewhat worried. War was a common occurrence in the Cradle Islands, but it was truly a rarity in the Emerald Islands...

"Oh, I've got it!" Although he thought there probably weren't any, as the AI ​​searched, the disciple discovered there were actually quite a few—

“Teacher, according to the records, the Hillmeri Islands have been in a state of turmoil for the past six months. Although it does not reach the level of war, it should be able to meet the needs of the sacrificial site.”

“That’s simple. Send a message to the others and tell them to send the captured heretics to…” The admiral paused slightly before casually adding, “Well, find out which island has suffered the most casualties so far, and we’ll go there!”

"Good teacher!"
