Chapter 310 News of the Sea Beast
After a salvo, the smoke on the sea gradually dissipated, and the sea was unusually quiet, with only a few scattered figures struggling on the surface.
They tried to grab onto any floating debris, desperately calling for help, but there was no response except for the sound of the waves.
The survivors shivered in the icy water, their faces pale and lips purple, clearly exhausted.
Of course, they couldn't escape. After Huo Yuhao gave the order, they had no chance of running away.
Soon after, several gunners pulled a group of pirates, soaked to the bone. The sailors were drenched, their clothes clinging to their bodies, looking utterly disheveled. They were so exhausted when they were dragged onto the deck that they didn't even have the strength to stand.
With a thud, several pirates knelt down before Huo Yuhao. Tears and snot streamed down their faces. They pleaded desperately, their voices filled with fear and despair.
"Waaah, gentlemen, please, just ignore me and let me go!"
A skinny man, his face bruised and swollen, was utterly despondent. He trembled, his eyes filled with pleading. "Who are these people? They just grab me and start beating me up!" he thought.
Huo Yuhao looked at the skinny man in front of him speechlessly. Seeing the group of pirates with bruised and swollen faces, looking like they were about to cry, they must have been beaten up at sea.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle at the gunners' smirking faces. These guys were definitely itching for a good fight. They were usually well-trained, but rarely had the chance to practice in real combat, and now that they finally had the opportunity, they naturally wanted to let loose.
Pirate: "Feed me peanuts, feed me peanuts!"
Huo Yuhao smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking at the skinny man and saying "kindly," "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you, I just want to ask you a few questions."
Huo Yuhao knew that although these pirates were ruthless, they were also a source of information at sea. Huo Yuhao decided to take advantage of this opportunity to extract some useful intelligence from them.
In front of Huo Yuhao, the pirate nodded his head incessantly, his eyes filled with the desire to survive, as if he would answer any question Huo Yuhao asked without hesitation and leave no secrets behind.
The skinny man's voice trembled slightly, yet it was filled with determination: "Sir, ask me anything, I promise I will tell you everything I know! As long as you spare my life, I am willing to become your most loyal dog. I will go through fire and water for you, no matter what."
Looking at the pirate's survival-driven eyes, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Loyalty? Forget about it. You'd be faster than me if danger came your way."
Bibi Dong nodded expressionlessly in agreement: "Yes, that's true. Someone like you doesn't even deserve to be a dog. Besides, you're too ugly. We should just kill you and find someone who's a little more presentable to question."
Upon hearing this, the pirate panicked and hurriedly pleaded, "Spare me, everyone! I know I'm ugly, but I'm really useful. I have lots of money, and I can give it all to you!"
As his life drew to a close, the pirate's breath grew weaker and weaker, and he began to use his last resort—bribery.
After all, as a pirate, his way of dealing with people was nothing more than three things: coercion, bribery, deception, and sowing discord.
However, coercion was clearly not an option in this situation. The pirate knew that if he dared to use coercion on Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong, he might see his own brains splattered everywhere in the next second.
As for swindling and cheating, the pirates knew their intelligence was probably not even as good as a monkey that loves to eat bananas.
However, this tactic of enticement was clearly misused. Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong were obviously not short of money. The pirates' methods seemed so powerless and laughable in the face of them.
"Come on, with your meager assets, you can't even buy a single steel plate from my ship." Huo Yuhao smiled contemptuously, his tone full of disdain.
The skinny pirate was clearly panicked. He began to anxiously plead, "Sir, master, I know the hideouts of other pirates. I can lead you to raid them. They have assets too. They have gold soul coins, and... and women..." The skinny pirate tried to use these temptations to save his life.
However, before the skinny pirate could finish speaking, Bibi Dong's eyes turned icy cold, revealing a strong killing intent that caused him to involuntarily lie on the ground, trembling all over.
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't seem interested in the skinny pirate's suggestion, but he still decided to give him a chance: "I'll only ask one question. If you can satisfy me, I won't kill you."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the pirate was so excited that tears almost streamed down his face. He nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, sir, as long as you say the word."
"I'm asking you, do you know where the ferocious beasts that are over 100,000 years old live in the ocean?" Huo Yuhao's question was straightforward; he seemed very interested in the habitats of these beasts.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question, the skinny pirate's face immediately lit up with joy: "My lord, I accidentally obtained a parchment scroll that details the habitat of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the sea. As long as you don't kill me, I, I will definitely take you there!" The skinny pirate's voice trembled slightly, but more than that, it was filled with a desire to live.
Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched: "Oh? There are some 100,000-year-old soul beasts among them. Tell me about them."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the pirate immediately scurried over and began to explain the information on the parchment in detail: "My lord, this first one is a giant starfish from the deep sea. I've heard that it has cultivated for tens of thousands of years. It is enormous, its tentacles can easily destroy a warship, and its strength is so great that it can cause tsunamis. It is one of the overlords of the sea."
"There is also a legendary sponge that is 300,000 years old, a rare and ferocious beast. It can absorb all matter around it, whether it is metal or living things. Once you get close to its territory, you will be devoured by it. Legend has it that it can even absorb light, making itself almost invisible in the deep sea."
The pirate continued, "Besides that, there's the Sea Dragon King, whose status in the sea is unmatched. He possesses immense strength and unparalleled speed. His scales are as hard as diamonds, and ordinary weapons cannot harm him in the slightest."
"And then there's the Siren Queen, who possesses a mesmerizing voice, can manipulate sea creatures, and even cause storms..."
